  Alex has a whole different way of reading a document. Drink a half can of zippo lighter fluid and read it again. You will see the light :)

Shouldn't they be busting granite for about 14 hours a day?

Here's mine

The biggest threat an armed society poses is to keep at bay any political over ambition (nice way of saying "Control of the Masses). The end goal is clearly the total ban of all firearms. A simple google search of statements made to disarm America will give hours of reading from many reliable sources. The extreme Liberal knows that mass killings cannot be stopped in cases of dedicated, violent and focused individuals or groups. They don't really care, but will use every tragedy to further the end goal.  It's all about getting control and forcing America to depend on it's government for everything.

As a few of you know I'm addicted to Berettas & have been on the lookout for an Inox (stainless) model Beretta 92FS in my price range for years without any luck. I spotted this one a few days ago and had to grab it! She's a beauty & in new condition with all stainless controls & included the factory hard case, two 15 round mags, and a set of walnut grips with Beretta emblems. I took the walnut grips off and replaced them with a set of aluminum grips, but may put them on another pistol.

Give it time guys, if we continue to buy at these prices they will never go down.

If I were in charge this is how things would be.   Upon conviction they will have all hair removed from their body. Preferably through the use of some sort of pill or treatment. If not they will at a minimum have their head/face shaved. After that it will never happen again while in custody.   While incarcerated food would meet nutritional requirements without any consideration as to how it tasted. The entire meal would be blended together and served as a soup. They will be issued a cup when they enter their cell and that is what they will drink their food from, no utensils of any kind will be given. If they decide they are going to throw the soup flour will be added and bake it like a giant bisquit. They would be fed warm soup for one meal and cold bologna sandwichs for the other meal. Maximum of 2,500 calories per day.   If an inmate requires healthcare after convicted it will be their family that pays for it, not the taxpayers. If the family can't afford it too bad and if the inmate dies then the organs can be harvested. If an inmate is on death row, or serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, their organs can be harvested at any time for the benefit of the law abiding even if the inmate is still alive.    Once convicted any money or valuables in their possession at the time of arrest will immediately be turned over to their victims. If it was a "victimless" crime then it will go towards the housing and feeding of the inmate.   There will be no such thing as commissary or inmate fund accounts.   Once convicted the only communication with the outside will be with their attorney and by mail only. The inmates will not be allowed to use any phones. There will be no such thing as visitation or conjugal visits.   There will be no televisions, no excercise equipment and the only time they spend outside of the 8x10 cell will be the 15 minute cold shower they take weekly. Their toothbrushes will only be the head with the bristles with no handle.   When inmates leave their cell they would wear a full face motorcycle helmet with the faceshield painted. This will prevent attempted assaults and escapes.   Inmates will only wear underwear while in custody. The jail will be kept at 65 degrees year round. They will not be issued a matress, blanket or sheets. Their bunk will either be made of concrete or steel.  

....should be castrated with a dull butter knife! :mad:  That is all I have to say about that.

Cool mosin...i'm sure you will enjoy it   Good luck with the cosmoline removal

Nice mosin! Mine is a 43 as well still have not fired it but love it anyway! And I know your going to love yours! And mine has the brass fittings as well

Actually I like the idea because I load 9mm too. It wouldn't hurt my feelings not to have to switch primer sizes. But really - one way or the other manufactures!

I worked a StrikeForce fight in Nashville that he fought in, did his prefight physical and post fight eval.  Nice guy.  Daniel Cormier who is now kicking ass in the UFC fought that night too.

What are your goals for the rifle?  A collector would be concerned with arsenals, rarity, age, etc., for a shooter none of those matter.  Like others have posted, condition of the wood, metal finish, rifling and crown are far more important than markings.  I'll have to respectfully disagree with a couple of statements though, first don't concern yourself with "hex" vs. "round" receivers if you are looking for a good shooter.  The cosmetic differences have no correlation to performance, any "corner-cutting" that might have occurred during wartime production has long ago been remedied as these rifles have been through numerous refurbishment processes, the bad ones were cannibalized for parts many years ago.  Second, don't automatically reject a counterbored rifle, most were done to eliminate crown erosion due to nicks from improper cleaning techniques.  The armorers who took the time to counterbore the rifles usually chose ones that had good bores but bad crowns, they are quite often better shooters than non-bored examples.  Checking headspace and firing pin protrusion is always a good idea on any surplus rifle prior to firing it, a thorough cleaning is also a necessity.  "Sticky bolt syndrome" is almost always the result of cosmoline in the chamber, investigate how to properly clean the bore and chamber and you should be good to go.   If you are looking to start a collection, a different set of criteria apply.  Check out the info available at 7.62x54r.net (especially the forums section), mosinnagant.net, and the Russian section at surplusrifles.com for a start.  Terence Lapin's book "The Mosin Nagant Rifle" is another good source.  Eventually you will find that serious collectors aren't very interested in common 91/30 refurbs, therefore most of the rifles commonly available in gunstores now aren't very collectible (there's always that apocryphal story of the 1907 carbine found on the shelf at the LGS for $100, so we do continue checking the racks in hope!).

Decided to put together a long range gun and this is what I came up with. Savage Model 10 FCP with McMillan stock, Weaver mounts and tactical rings, Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 (First Focal Plane) scope. Got it zeroed on sunday at 100 yards and it is shooting sub-moa out of the box. SWEET!!!

Put it together anyway you want, with any length barrel you want. Just don't put a stock on it -- if you only have an AR pistol config, I wouldn't even have a stock on my property. A stock, like any other in a collection of components, must have a legal use if it also has an illegal use. Many folks use a "pistol" receiver extension rather than a carbine one made to accept a stock, but it's not necessary. And especially if you plan to make it a legal SBR later, or want to swap back and forth between pistol and rifle config, is just something else to buy and not use later. And a pistol extension doesn't necessarily make you home free from the "constructive possession" thang anyway. I wound up giving my AR pistol its own dedicated lower not too long ago, at least for now. Still has regular carbine tube on it. I wrapped it with black camo wrap, but not to disguise or "cripple" it from taking a stock, but only to make it softer laid alongside the cheek when shooting. - OS

It will take over 100 years to fix this, and I dont see it happening.

Several ago an east TN lawmaker suggested that the state give Shelby county to Arkansas, thereby raising the IQ of both states. Very seldom can a person insult so many people in one sentence. :)

Those are great. Both have plenty of adjustment and both are MIL/MIL FFP. They would definitely work with your 20 MOA rail.   The reason you want the same adjustment and the same reticle is for corrections on the fly. With a MIL/MIL setup all you need to do is dial the difference. If the shot lands .7 mil low on the reticle you add .7 mil to the turrets. If the turrets are MOA and the reticle is MIL you have to do some funky conversion to make adjustments on the fly.   Also, mil is the easiest to range with. Basically you take the known height/width of the target and multiply by 1,000. Then you divide that number by the number of mils the cover the target. Example: You have a 1.5 meter tall target. Multiply by 1,000 and that gives you 1,500. Now if 3 dots cover the target then the distance is 500 yards, or if 5 dots cover the target it is 300 yards. And whatever the input is that is what the output is, yards in yards out, meters in meters out and even feet. I am amble to do the math in my head most days.

he is a great guy and class act i  trained with him at KMAA. he will do big things in the UFC

I picked some up recently. let me see if I can find who I ordered them from. It was a small place I had never heard about but quick shipping and a good price.    Edit- here you go   http://www.ammunitiondepot.com/Federal-Premium-Tactical-HST-9mm-124-Grain-P-JHP-p/p9hst3-a.htm

As if I could resist?

That's what happens when you work for liberals and take their money, you become like them.  Bill O'Reilly is just as bad on Gun Control.  It's all about the entertainment.  The thing is, I don't find it all that entertaining to listen to someone seriously talk about taking away my rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America.

Or you could just have a real MATEN :) [URL=http://s95.photobucket.com/user/eat7thirdythree/media/DSC_0980.jpg.html][/URL]

Have you tried looking on http://www.gunbot.net/ammo, http://gun-deals.com/ammo, http://www.slickguns.com/category/ammo or just going to http://www.gunbroker.com/ or http://www.gunauction.com/ to check out the auctions?  I saw some OK deals in the auctions if I was hurting for some ammo.  I keep the calculator up and do the math.  Good luck!

i was ask if i would come to this show as a friend .i try very hard not to say no to a friend sam sold 6k 40s in the first half hour she didnt do too bad today but will not be going back about half the tables were empty but i did my part

Seems like I have some Catching up to do to keep up with cartel!

  It is rather difficult to get enthusiastic when one has to decide between a piece of s*** and a pile of s***.   Liberals rally around their candidates because they know that even through compromise, they will still gain ground.  When Republicans compromise, we always lose ground.  I will say it again as I did in my earlier posts, pointing out and/or complaining about the flaws of a candidate (past or present) in no way reflects on the future success of Republicans candidates.  If Republicans field strong candidates then their chance for success is good, and if they field weak candidates or people vote for them in the primaries because they are perceived to be the most electable, they will more than likely lose.

I'm all for it.  We don't have enough taxes to begin with.  Everybody needs to contributing their fair share.  :shake:   Honestly, I don't know why they are d**king around with this weak piece of legislation.  They might as well just go ahead and confiscate our paychecks and retirement accounts. Then they give us back what they think we need to live.  After all, 90% of American people support it, it is for the children, and if just one person might be saved it needs to be done.

Not hard to go through a couple of bricks in an afternoon with those. Enjoy your good luck.

  congratulations you got about the same ammount i did ... if that makes me a "bad gun owner" in some peoples eyes then i can handle that .. they werent there to help me out when i couldnt find any so i wont lose any sleep over their opinions.. someones gotta get the last box on the shelf, better me than someone who's gonna turn around and sell it for $75 on gunbroker  

Regardless of what the market may say, CZ s a superior product to the clones.

Buying only what you "need" is relative. This week I only need 100 rounds for the range, but if I can't find it for another 5 weeks I "need" 500 rounds. OP congrats on the score.

One of these days we will wake up and find all "old" money is seized by the Government and we are issued Gov. debit cards. That way every sale is controlled and taxed. 

The Garand in in a whole other league. With all the other options for military surplus rifles, I think the demand for Mosins has been so high, only because they were/are cheap.

So how much did you leave for the next customer?

  Conversely, I fully understand why many people want to stay as anonymous as possible regarding completely legal private firearms sales.   - OS

  It ain't a party until the law shows up.

Perfect example of "No good deed goes unpunished."

I still carry an old gen 2 Glock 21, most of the finish is worn thin or gone on the corners. Mechanically it's still pristine. It's a tool, designed to do a job. I give no more thought to dings and scrapes on it than I would on a pair of vise grips.

Y'all are really gonna blast me hard when my Archangel stock w/ detachable mag comes in. I'll be sure to post pics so you have something to glare at menacingly.

Look for Century Arms. If they built it....leave it. Backwater cess pools and third world countries have all built AKs that work just fine. Century Arms seems to be about the only one who can screw up building an AK on a regular basis.

If you weren't previously, you are definitely on their list now. Haha :-)

He's been drinking the new RINO koolaid sport drink developed by McCain and Graham.

It is a really bad idea. It only serves to embolden an idiot even more than carrying a firearm. It allows people to wrongfully intimidate or scare people. And finally I think anyone with a badge is impersonating LE.   I met a guy who had one. He said he was either going to wear it on his belt or around his neck. He said he would be able to flash his badge to prevent a crime. He also said when, not if, he had to shot someonoe he could wave his badge to responding LE so they won't shoot or arrest him. I never talked to or seen him again to see how well his plans worked out but I susoect they didn't.

I agree with him.  We MUST loosen the constraints on the 2nd to ensure "the security of a free State".

See, this is where I differ. Usually when involved in a shootout and fail to stop the threat with center mass hits I do an inverted spin kick to distract the assailant, and that is when I deploy my ninja laser. It never fails to stop the attacker and I get in a gun fight like every other day.

Sheep asks Caster: Is that a gun?!? Caster: uhh, yeah... Sheep: Why are you carrying a gun?!? Caster: It's against my religion to fight. Besides, Recoil is much easier to manage than blunt force trauma to my fists and or face. Sheep: ......blank stare Caster: ......sly grin...walks away casually, possibly whistling a Black Sabbath tune.

If your that worried about under penetration due to heavy clothes or jackets switch to another caliber. I know many shooters not one of whom would try taking a headshot on a moving combative target unless absolutely positively neccasery. Especially in any kind of scenario in which a miss on the target equals a potential hit on an innocent bystander. I read a lot about the whole two to the chest one to the head and think that's a crap load of crap as well personaly. There may be one or two instances in which that may be the correct thing to do but it's so highly unlikely I won't train to ingrain it into my head. If they don't drop after two center mass shots we'll see what three or four does to em. If anything I'm probably more likely to try shooting lower than higher, the hips make a much better target than the head and I have a hard time picturing someone continuing any kind of threatening advance with a shattered hip.

That's true. But the roads would be a little safer if people would leave a safe distance to cyclists. Cyclists do need to follow the rules of the road like everyone else, but I can't tell you how many times some one has "buzzed" me and yelled at me for no reason whatsoever. I had a situation about 5 years ago with a guy who almost hit me and then proceeded to pull over and threaten me because he says his wife was almost in an accident with a cyclist a few days before and he wanted me to explain it or he would kick my ass. I told him I would be more than happy to call KPD so he can try to make a report about the other cyclist. Otherwise, he could get the hell out of my face and stop threatening me. He left....

When I was younger, we were admonished not to shoot on Sunday at all. Of course that was years ago and the world has changed quite a bit. as for the respect part, I would say any time after 9 am is fine...simply because slothfulness is a sin
