Not to mention his all out ban on newly created machine guns. Ill never understand the the fanaticism when it comes to Reagan. He did more damage singlehandedly to the 2nd then Clinton and Obama combined.

Odd that a supporter of the Brady Bill would say such a thing. SCREW YOU REAGAN!

It occurred to me that it would be beneficial to allow an easy way to identify where an Event or Gathering was occurring inside the state of Tennessee, which in turn helps knit communities together to create what I am going to call "TGO Rally Points". These Rally Points are really just logical representations of the way our Tennessee members are relatively close to at least one of the five major population centers in the state: Chattanooga Knoxville Memphis Nashville Tri-Cities With that in place, you can now choose to use (purely optional) an area prefix when starting a new thread about an Event or Gathering in this particular forum. You do so by choosing the option from the drop-down when you are creating your thread.

Something about these little 100 plus year old wheel guns that is intriguing. With a working one in my hand, I often think it may well have been assembled by an old Civil War vet. Well anyway, I picked this up on GB about a year ago for about a hundred bucks. Last month I did a similar rebuild on a little 22 short called a Captain Jack. The Ranger is a good choice for a rebuild since it uses coil springs for the cylinder latch lever and cylinder locking lug. Also the hand is sprung very nicely with a strong spring arm pined into the hammer. Many of these early mouse guns used tiny leaf springs that would be a real pain to fab up since they are usually shot. As with a lot of these, I had to beat the cylinder pin out of the gun. The cylinder had about .016" end shake so the picture shows the building up of weld that will extend the length of the cylinder and I will turn the weld into a thicker bushing face. The original diameter over the cylinder pin was very thin allowing the hammer to beat the cylinder forward over the many firings. Heres the turned cylinder with a new pin made from oil hardened drill rod. Once the cylinder is fit into the frame with virtually no forward to back play, The barrel face is turned back and drilled out to .250". Then a new 22 sleeve is turned to fit and epoxied into the barrel. most any of these early guns will have the hammer and or the trigger sear wiped out as seen here. The fix is once again a build up of weld and recutting the hammer sear notches. Reshaped and the trigger spring was trimmed to lighten it up to a far more comfortable let off. After the trigger is re-timed with the action, I simply hardened it with Kasenite. The front sight was missing so I soldered in a new blade and trimmed it down to POA. The target is a 7 round cylinder string fired off hand at 6 feet. The only rounds that I would say is safe to fire in a well functioning BP mouse gun are CCI #0026 22 SHORT CB rounds. These round have no powder in them. only a primer charge. I'm always on the look out for those CCI #0026 rounds. I use them in an old Belgian Flobert type rolling block I have. You gotta love putting life back into these grand old guns! I sure do

I picked up a Kimber Mountain Ascent in 308. The Mountain Ascent is the lightest production bolt action big game rifle available today. It weighs 5lbs 5ozs. It is really light. It has a kevlar/carbon fiber stock. The barrel is luted. The bolt is spiral fluted with the bolt handle hollowed out to remove more weight. Have not shot it yet. I have to figure out what glass to put on it. I can't decide if I want a silver scope to match or a black scope for the contrast. Here are a couple of pics.

I can't believe I lived there as long as I did.

I was just about to post the snoops link, but that's apparently frowned upon. *Cough @Ugly Cough*

Personally, while I like the looks of the new server version on a computer, I miss Tapatalk. I am sure that the mobile version performs decently well, but in my opinion that overlooks where Tapatalk excels. Tapatalk on my phone manages all of the forums I participate in. It keeps up with all participated threads in all of my forums. It makes private messaging people extremely easy and optimized for a mobile device. Notifications are great and reduce email clutter. The "unread" function of the app makes it very easy to keep up with new threads and replies to all threads, pushing active threads to the top constantly. Now, being an IT person myself, I completely understand technical issues and bugs during upgrading. As such, I completely understand if it is just best that Tapatalk isn't immediately or ever installed again. However, if that is the case I forsee that my usage will drop dramatically. Maybe that is a good thing, it's beautiful weather and maybe less forums altogether would be great. But this is honestly the first time I've "checked in" since whenever Tapatalk stopped working. I guess I already missed the potentially fake "Muslim beats Western girl for wardrobe". Merely mentioning that while the new software may generate a decently useable mobile version, I don't see it as fulfilling everything Tapatalk can be used for. Hopefully at a later date everything can be smoother and work together as it has in the past.

Look, I don't do this very often but I simply am not having this conversation. Tapatalk isn't going back on our server anytime soon. Maybe ever. IPBoard 4 is still fairly new and Tapatalk's development cycle is not in-step with theirs. The problems they caused me during the software upgrade very nearly became catastrophic. I'm sorry that it seems like a big deal from your side of the screen, but it's an even BIGGER deal from my side. I will monitor what Tapatalk does moving forward and may revisit this later, but for now it's a No-Go.

Well as long as it doesn't say "Made in China" I'm good.

Pretty much everyone who puts any REAL trigger time behind one will come to the same conclusion. It has nothing to do with historical value or significance and EVERYTHING to do with function. If one can acquire some decent stripper clips that feed properly, it's downright amazing how fast you can shoot ten rounds, reload and shoot again.

I've got an idea forming up for another shirt design later. Maybe we can do these quarterly or something. Do two runs of t-shirts in the warmer weather, long sleeve T's for the cooler weather and hoodies / sweat shirts for the cold weather.

There is also a link at the bottom right that says the same thing "Unread Content", great addition IMO, I used to have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to the link which was a PITA on a touch screen. When I first used the Unread Content it asked about making it my default stream, said yes but not sure what that did.

Pass. The Siminov rifle is a wonderful all around gun to have.....in stock configuration. Aftermarket magazines suck. Stripper clips and the original magazine is the only way to go IMO.

Thanks for your comments folks, its very satisfying to take a neat old gun in sad shape and put the jump back in them. I'v never used any Aguila but if their Colibri 22 is primer fired, I want some! I only have about 200 rds of CCI left. Many years ago I used to have the RWS CB's with the egg corn head stamp. Taught my son how to shoot on those when he was little. As a matter of fact that was nearly 20 years ago as seen here... Once bonded, How many of you know this feeling?

Say it ain't so...I love tapatalk...so quick and easy to browse...

Looking forward to learning much more about the AR 15. And, getting ready to spend bucks on accessories. Got the Aero Precision AR 15, from Brownells. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/receivers/lower-receivers/ac-15-5-56mm-16-mid-length-rifle-prod82606.aspx?cm_sp=Landing%20Links-_-Landing%20Page-_-TP1_AC15_Firearm I haven't touched an AR since 1990, so I'm kinda stoked to get reaquainted. I know it isn't Daniel Defense or BCM, but I'll never compete or otherwise be in a heavy use situation until the SHTF. Went by Guns N More to ask about the Ruger and S&W on sale. Both are 4140 barrels and have carbine length gas systems, so I decided the AP price was pretty reasonable. I could have gotten close (w/stainless) @ Palmetto Armory, but prefer black. I think it will be a long time (or never) for a red dot sight; I'm thinking about the rail mountable M16 Handle. Any info or help welcome. Thanks to folks, in the forum, for helping with my education, past and future.

Been a loooong time since I last had access to a workshop, but I had a fun day today! Got this hunter profiled, ground & heat treated. O1 steel 3/16 thick. 4¼" blade fully flat ground at 62RWC. 5½" handle. I'm just waiting on some bar stock to come in for the pins, but I'll be handling it with blaze orange G10 with blue & white liners.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news to those who get their history from memes but Patton never said that...at least that can be proven.

I haven't seen one but I think I would prefer it. I'll have to go shopping I guess i dig me some made in the USA stuff, which is far and few between.

Fitty I just finished watching your Precision Rifle series. Seriously incredible work man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Fitty is sneaky :).

For me I have to enlarge the font section of the screen using ctrl + more than I did the older version. As a result the "wood" disappears due to the enlarged center screen. That as a result makes it look "different" and "brighter". I wasn't even aware of the underlying "wood" until Mac posted his screenshot.

Thanks to both of you for coming to play in my backyard. There were 27 students. Four didn't make it. I hate to see someone not pass, but the certificate has meaning because of the standards attached to it. Tom will be teaching his Combative Pistol in Franklin on August 13-14. Sign up is here.

This is the playlist for my 6.5 creedmoor AR10 variant I just built.

I would hose it down with WD40 and let it set for a few minutes. Then use high pressure air to blow it out. Repeat a few times and I bet it will start working again.

He told you the deal. He just sat on Gunbroker until he got the right one. I think he paid MSRP.

And made in USA! Order placed.

There are a few places around here that do that, the post keeps them in business, we have ball caps, t-shirts, ascots and banners made often enough.. Let me know what you want done, price range and stuff and I can do the leg work for you.

I don't know... how much money do you want to make at work? The wider the margin, the more things we get to do in the future and the easier it is to pay TGO's light bills.

@bud - Top right of the screen there is a link that says "Unread Content" right beneath the search bar.

.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a place that will do embroidery on demand and complete order fulfillment. If you know of one, let me know.

a sks that has not had a bunch of mods done to it is a great rifle to have around. they are one great rifle for what they were made for. simple to use and maintain. the sks that you are looking a is priced a little high for what it is. the owner has made at least two major changes to it, i.e.,, stock and mag. these changes do not add value to he rifle. it takes value away from it. just take his own words about having to hold the mag a certain way so it will fire. i would offer way less knowing that you will ave to buy the correct parts to make the rifle right. or i would keep on looking.

I was out there a few weeks ago and saw at least a dozen completely covered in cosmo. It was such a beautiful sight it nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Thanks for the orders, guys. We make very little profit on these because of Teespring's margins, but you all have been asking for shirts so this is the best way for me to provide them. If response is good, we'll offer more shirts in the future. If response isn't good, well... I'll refer back to this thread when people ask us to make shirts.

The SKS rifles have more history to them than you may realize. The SKS was the primary infantry rifle for the Chinese for 30 years. Militia and reserves in China still have them today. They have historical significance to America because they saw some use in the Korean War and much use in Vietnam, both for America as well as the French. Far more SKS's were used in Vietnam than AK 47s They saw use in the Balkans and have been in service for a lot of poor countries. Here are a few pics from Vietnam:

Nice setup. Glad that you are doing a barrel break in. Some people think that is witchcraft.

That works thanks...never used mobile, like ever, so I didn't know.

I'm in! I got 2, but is there anyway for these to be available in the future? Reason I ask is, I am tall and really a tall size is ideal, but sometimes get by with a standard size, just depends on how the shirt is made. Tall sizes weren't available on this and usually aren't available on much of anything.

I have alway thought the original 10 round fixed magazine was the best. Nothing else in my experience comes close.

A little something inconspicuous.

This is a conversation from the glocktalk forum (for what it's worth). Left rear rail may allow the rear of the slide to torque to the right. Their words, not mine "By the way, I've had rails break off of two Glocks. Both were the left rear rails. I'm guessing those left rear rails are exposed to more torquing or force. I don't know if it's upward or downward force though, probably due to the rifling/barrel twist." just curious, did the serial # of these two glocks that you broke start with E? Yes, my G23gen3 was one of the problematic models which started with an "E"; my G31gen3 was a much later serial number, starting with "S". When I first called Glock, they advised not to send it in unless it breaks, as not all "E" s/n'd guns will break. A few thousand rounds later, it broke.

Since both you and your friend are shooting left it's quite possible that your rear sight could have shifted. I wouldn't blame either your technique or your eyes as you are shooting centered groups with other handguns.

As long as Tapatalk still works I am happy!

First off let me say that I have nothing against gay people. Live and let live is my motto.  What I am tired of is Hollyweird trying to force it on me. Seems like every show these days just has to have a gay character. Its gettin' real old.  If it actually added something to the story line, it would be different. But Strand being gay adds absolutely nothing.  This is just another case of the liberal media pushing there own agenda.  I've had problems with this show from the very beginning. None of these characters have the skills or the mindset to survive. Maybe Daniel, but the rest should be long dead by now. There's fiction, there's horror and there's fantasy. This show is just BS.  Oddly enough, I'll probably keep watching. I'm not even sure why?   BTW: I have quit watching Talking Dead. This show just isn't interesting enough for me to spend the extra hour on it. 

I will be driving from Clarksville to Louisville on the 20th of May for the first day of the exhibits at the NRA annual meeting. I had three buddies lined up to travel with me, but two have backed out. I'm offering a ride up there early in the morning and back late that night to anyone* that wants to go with and is reasonably close to my route of travel. Veterans from the Fort Campbell area are preferred. *Disclaimer you must not be a hipster liberal waste of space time vampire full time all time welfare recipient to ride in my truck. There will be a red blooded American bacon eating test to weed out any radical extremist muslims and vegans.
