Uncle just figured out how to take the bolt out of his Sauer 90. he's had it for almost 20 years. I could have done it for him if he asked by looking it up, but he always insisted he would get around to it. I suppose I shouldn't jest, he taught me how to fieldstrip an FN Mag among other things haha.
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;39425750]True, I guess equating sanding a stock down to sanding the metal, especially where the serial number is, is a completely different situation.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I use 600 grit sandpaper on my BP stocks to finish em up and that's with a relatively thin layer of sealer and finish, I'd imagine with a coat of cosmoline on a stock it'd be pretty hard to make a mess so long as you don't use a heavy grit. Metal though, I start at 120 and work my way up to 2,000.
[QUOTE=credesniper;39425764]Can anyone recommend a good scout scope for a 22 rifle, under $300.00? Cheaper and older the better.[/QUOTE] [url]http://swfa.com/Leupold-25x28-FX-II-Scout-Scope-P3261.aspx[/url] -$300 (Can probably be had for less) -Less than half a pound -Lifetime Warranty -Leupold VX-2 glass (This is their most popular line of glass. It would be equivalent to what you would call, mid-to-high range glass.)
[QUOTE=mastoner20;39420773]Well... well... what is it? ... :( It can't be as silly as what I want to do with mine![/QUOTE] Well I will tell you this, step one is complete. Tally so far is... $1469.00 I will keep updating the tally as the project goes along.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;39422952]it doesn't say anything about dead in committee, it just says the chairman of the committee doesn't support it. pretty much means dead in committee, there's a lot of follow the leader going on in there. remember though, feinstein is on the committee too. The fight isn't over until that old crone drops dead, and even then it won't be over for long[/QUOTE] The committee failed to accept the bill onto the year's agenda in a timely manner, which as a full Congressional Committee, is basically dead at committee. And without support of the Party Chairman, (and with obvious reasons, the lack of support from the Ranking member, a Republican) and with the voiced disconnect with the Senate Majority leader; it is unlikely that anything will pass the senate where it has the most probability of passing as a law. Even less-so, in a Republican-held House, where the bill would have to be proposed as a second bill, voted and agreed upon in an identical process, and the two differing versions would have to be condensed and voted upon a third time by another committee to make sure the verbage of the two laws, and the subsequent added amendments the Repubs would most-likely attach to it, match. So in conclusion, it is basically the same thing as dying in committee, if your senior-most chair and your senior-most party chair both reject it.

Alas, I don't have enough cash available to do what I want. Purchasing a pre-built piston capable of what I need would be atleast $2k; and probably even more to do it in .308/7.62NATO... :(
so how long till the rest of america knows its dead so we can get normal prices again

If you read my initial post, I didn't actual mention my idea being about my AR. I just mentioned that some comments about my AR gave me an idea. :wink: Edit: Still could be my AR though.

[editline]31st January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;39427395]so how long till the rest of america knows its dead so we can get normal prices again[/QUOTE] I'm more optimistic, I'm thinking by late March just about everything will be back in stock, and we will see normalized prices in April sometime.
Finally found a camera, here's the RC K98 I bought: [img_thumb]http://puu.sh/1VqOi[/img_thumb] Tried to get a shot of the import mark and I was rewarded with blur. A photographer I am not. Now I just need to find a nice Mosin.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39427427]My money is on May-ish[/QUOTE] That's probably when the local gun-club/range/bigass gun store will get it's supply back. During the scare, he was cleared down to a bubba'd SKS and a UTS-15. About 200 rounds of 7.62x54 was all the ammo that was left. The UPS guy came in and said "Fuck feinstein man, I hate having to lug this stuff around." He was bringing in rifles and ammo people had ordered :v:

Busy as hell and frantically trying to get everything; yes, but damn, think of the money people are willing to buy for stuff right now! Even .22 is going for insane prices at some places. Granted, I think I'll wait for the massive price drops afterwards when factories go into overdrive and have a crap-tonne of excess stock to get rid of.
Going shooting this weekend with the grandpa. He says rifles and pistols. He has a lot of both, so I am curious what he will bring.

I know for sure that he doesn't have any of those :v:
i hate to ask you guys this but did the newtown shooter ever actually use his AR? this kid on facebook is really trying to pick a fight with me over guns and shit and wont shut up about the newtown shooter using his AR but i cant find any real sources that say he didnt? can anyone find any? or else all i know is a lie!!!!!!!!

I might have to build me a punt gun. I've gone hunting with a regular old cannon loaded with shot and took loads of fowl with it, I imagine I could be real effective with a punt gun.
yeah i showed him that and he said "its not cnn or whatever so i dont believe it!!!"

[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;39430416]yeah i showed him that and he said "its not cnn or whatever so i dont believe it!!!"[/QUOTE] He doesn't believe NBC? They aired that video on national fucking television stating that they were wrong in saying that he used an AR-15. When a news agency says they're wrong, I tend to believe them. It's when they're saying they're right about something, that's when it's hard to believe.

Frankly I don't see why it matters though. Killing is killing, it doesn't matter what you do it with. People just so desperately want to use this as ammunition to fuel their agenda.
Blame the media. They've said infinite things that are contradictory about the story and the events. [editline]31st January 2013[/editline] If anything. Makes me feel a bit more confident in the power of the 5.56 round and the massive use the military has for it. [sp]I have a sick sense of humor[/sp]

yeah thats the thing, theres no one saying the same thing twice
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;39430798]yeah thats the thing, theres no one saying the same thing twice[/QUOTE] Is the kid trying to argue that an Ar is more deadly? If he is remind him buckshot is still a thing.

Facebook is probably the last place where you should try to have a civilized and informative debate about something.
