Oh wow, that is just up the road from me. I may have to check that out.

I looks like the thing it is tied to fell off a truck or something like that. Did you tie it that thing like that? Why did you want a dead pig? Was it alive when you found it? Did you make it dead?

So if I go into a store with a gunbuster and I get attacked by this guy they are responsible?? Awesome...

Was it an epic? No. I did like it though. It was what it needed to be a good Mad Max movie. It had a lot of great lines, "I am the scales of justice!", the ever classic "You shall cruise the highways eternal, shiny and chrome" and who could forget "You can ask for more than a jacket bloodbag.". Also who would not want to live on a bullet farm?

My experience has been like this: Best bang for the buck is a suppressed bolt action .22lr, You get the full effect of the can, all you here on mine is the firing pin drop. I have a very hard time finding a non high velocity .22 round that will cycle a semi-auto rifle well, and after clearing enough FTE's you get bored with it. You can run a little higher velocity load in a pistol because the short barrel does not give the bullet enough time to get to a supersonic speed, but you will still have cycling issues for the most part. I have heard the M&P .22 and the the Ruger 22/45 suppress well but I don't have either and can't say I have heard them. You really didn't mention caliber so if you are thinking center fire then 300 BLK is hard to beat but expensive stuff to shoot if you don't reaload, I have read here that if you reload it can be cheaper to shoot than 9mm.

Hmmmm.....fail. My favorite part is the part where he talks about it being a "drop in" that goes into any standard lower, but at the 1:00 mark in the video and box pops up saying that you may need a gunsmith and that it may not work in all lowers.

The product you are looking for is called Instamorph. It was developed for prototyping and very easy to work with.

"The move also means Virginians with a history of stalking, drug dealing or inpatient mental-health treatment cannot obtain a permit in a state with comparatively lax laws and carry a handgun legally at home."
Am I misreading this? I didn't think you could live in one state and go to another state and get a carry permit anyway. Isn't that what he is saying? He thinks Virginians can go to another state with their Virginia ID and paperwork and get a carry permit in that state??

You dont need an inverter. Bestbuy's line of Insignia tv's (the small ones, ours is a 19") are 12 volt already. Just look at the back, it will have a round plug that goes into the tv from the power cord. Not all small tv's do this which is why I specifically mentioned the insignia brand. It was the only one I could findl that does this. I did it for the same reason in our camper.

Found this......we're both right..
Hi-point magazine feed lip adjustments.
Many of you have trouble with your hi-point magazines. Aside from leaving them loaded for a while to let the spring break in , adjusting the magazine feed lips can be done in order to better the function of the magazine. This can be done by bending either the forward or rear feed lips in or out as needed, you can do this easily with a set of needle nosed pliars. Hi-point tech support has also recomended that this be done if needed.
these apply only to the C9 and 995.
Here are a couple of commenly used diagrams that can help give you an idea on how your feed lips should look when adjusting.-

The mags are the Achilles Heel for Hi-Points, carbine and pistol.
Unlike GunWhatGun's experience though, I find that the lips get too far apart over time and have to be squeezed back together. When too wide, the top round will sit flat rather than have the slight upward angle necessary to feed. The feed lips are more responsible for that than the follower. I've fixed more than one at ranges for folks who were having jamming difficulties.
I actually keep mine such that the rounds are literally somewhat difficult to load squeezing them past the front of the lips, indeed I load all but the last round by mostly putting the carts in butt down and turning back to the near horizontal rather than sliding them in horizontal to begin with.

Interesting. Are you making the adjustment to the front of the feed lips? (the little fingers that actually touch the projectile) That is where I make mine and that is due to them being too close, dragging on the bullet itself and causing a nose down orientation thus causing a FTF. I wonder if we have two differnet ways of repairing the same issue. OR I am not remembering it correctly from the Hi Point forum when I did my 5 mags 3 years ago and never went to that forum again. Honestly it could be the latter.

I find it amazing that there is more than one comment praising HiPoint reliability here. A buddy of mine has a 9mm carbine as well as a 9mm and .40 pistols. I can't praise the reliability and fun factor rating of the carbine enough! Other than being disgustingly unattractive, it's a great firearm! That being said, the two pistols are absolute garbage and more than deserving of the poor HiPoint reputation. He bought the carbine used but bought both pistols brand new so he has the factory mags as well as an aftermarket spare that he bought for each to try them. He's cleaned them, oiled them, run them dirty and run them dry and they are still the most unreliable firearms that I've ever been a witness to. The .40 cycles about once out of every 3-4 rounds fired and the 9 usually cycles at least every other round and will on rare occasions run through the whole mag flawlessly but like I said, that's a rare thing. The only other HiPoint pistols I've witnessed being shot was a 9mm and it just didn't seem to be capable of making it through 2 mags without some kind of failure but it worked better than the ones owned by my friend. Here's my question, you guys that have experienced acceptable reliability out of them, is the a trick to it or any mods to make such as polishing or?
Basicly, you need to take a pair of needle nose pliers and tweek out the feed lips on the mags just a tiny bit outward. You can also polish the feed ramp until it is shiny and super smooth.It is not hard to do at all I just used some 500 and 1000 grit wet or dry sandpaper and a dowel rod. I have a carbine and pistol and love them both. the pistol is so accurate that when we are teaching a new person to shoot we let them shoot it first to see where they need help. I know it will group well and will hit where it is pointed so we can tell if they are jerking the trigger or need help with there grip ect....

I have the 702 plinkster. I really like it, in fact it is my go to knock around gun. Never had a single issue with it. If this is the model you have and it is brand new then send it back in, something is not right.

I like that. I like that you went away from the typical green that comes to mind anytime somone sayas the Z word now. Got a link to them?

Can ya tell what my guard is made from?
Coop fence made from wood from an old house.
I don't know what he is made of but it looks like he is about to pee on your yard lol.
I have a co-worker who had her deck torn down. I took all the PT lumber for it and have made ton of stuff from it. A ramp for my shed, I used some of it to extend the deck on our house, target frames for a local private range, two gates for my moms house, a frame for a composter that also utilized an old 55 gal drum, a chicken coop, and I still havve a pile of lumber about 2" high.

I load my own 37mm, smoke is easy and cheap to make. Fun too.
That would be an interesting tutorial to see...........hint :up:

My favorite is a $57 BSA scope from Academy. The BSA sweet 22. It has BDC turrets for 32,36 and 40 grain ammo. I zero at 50. Turret keeps me accurate out to 150 yards. There are better scopes on the market, but you cant neat the overall value of this one. Had it 2 years. Still zeroed.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI saw this one this morning. At the price it is hard not to buy it. I really do like the nikon but really like the AO for target shooting.

Tell me about it. I have a new Savage bolt action .22 on the way. It will be a target/plinking gun and occasionaly harvest small game. I have a Centerpoint on my 702 plinkster and I really like it but I want to go a little nicer on this one. I do like adjustable magnification and mildots.
Tell me why you love your favorite. Which would you buy for your new ground hog sniper rifle?

Have they quit making .22WMR? UPDATE: NOW IN THE WILD

It's funny you posted this. I had just this same talk with myself a little while back. I enjoy shooting my .22's so much I had to give in and pay for the ammo I wanted. I love the CCI sv in my suppressed guns. I decided if I was going to pay the "new" prices I was going to have what I wanted at least. the funny thing is my wife asked why I didn't the ammo I did not want. I told her I would be to embarrassed to do it lol. I have griped os much about the re sellers I don't want people to think I am one.
