.45 ACP Mosin Nagant conversion
Ronald_55 replied to Quavodus's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Rarely does the phrase "Lets take a gun the Russians made at wartime and make it better" cross anyone's lips. Or at least I think that way. From a totally amateur point of view: 1.The .45 APC bullet diameter is 0.451 in v. the 7.62x54R bullet diameter is 0.312 in. So you would have to bore out or replace the barrel. Replacing it would probably mean having a custom barrel made. 2. The .45 APC case length is 1.275 in v. the 7.62x54R whose case length is 3.038 in. So you would have to re-work the entire internal magazine somehow. 3. The .45 APC is a "rimless" straight case v. the 7.62x54R whose case is a "rimmed" bottlenecked. You would have to account for this in the new feeding and bolt catch/extraction mechanics. So basically after all this, you are only left with a base receiver and (probably modified) stock. Better to just get a repro Thompson and be done with it. And MP5_Rizzo, from my experience using just Mosin refers to the rifle. That is one crazy conversion you linked to. -
Great to hear. So could I borrow a few bucks?

It is soooooo much better that the name is "Hussey's"

When transporting a gas grill in your SUV, make sure the gas is off.

Look into one of the adaptors you can use to fill the 2lb bottles from larger bottle. Might be handy. Gotta be cheaper to fill them from tgd big bottle than buy them. -

Kinda like Novas not selling in Mexico. "No Va" in Spanish is "not going". Gives a bad impression. That had never jumped out at me about KIA though. Maybe they are based in South Korea, but really run by North Korea and they set that up as a joke a long time ago. Or this gas grill story is just a cover up for the fact that North Korea has implanted bombs in all KIA vehicles to be used as a first attack on the US. Grab your tin foil hats boys. Maybe I should cut back on my caffeine today. LOL -
Does anyone ever use Gold and Guns out of Weber City? I know I have used Indian Springs Armory for transfers the last while. They just went up again though. It is $20 for the first and now $10 for each additional at the same time (was $5, still says it on the website). I think that they might still be the cheapest close to my work. Nice guys, but I have really not compared their gun pricing. I normally am trying not to buy any more than I am already picking up. lol

I see this as a "Why you should quit smoking" ad. -
I see this "filler" left around on tons of sites people build themselves through Wix or such. Drives me crazy. Review your work people. It is not that hard to look at each page. Or better yet, let me help in exchange for guns.

Little sister's older brothers...... Does the guy sitting on top with English riding boots have on a bullet proof vest?

Great! Glad you got out of front of that firing squad. Hopefully he appreciates your time.

I hope he ran and immediately bought lotto tickets. One wrong bounce and he could have been rolling down the runway in a fire ball. -
Well if the redhead in the black shirt in the opening pic works there, then I see why you might visit a bunch.... I think they wanted to make the place look busy in the one pic, but it just make it look crowded and hard to get into. I may have to stop by if I can get down that way with some time.

My entire room was this walnut paneling growing up. Feels like home. LOL

Just starting this so we have a place to gather local Tri-Cities gun store info. Reviews, info on sales, specific areas they specialize in, and such. Let's not use it to flame shops needlessly. If you have a complaint, air it, but give details that explain what has happened. I for one know I am not up on the local shops beyond a couple. My schedule keeps me from hitting most of them. I think it would be nice to have more info to help me seek out certain guns when I go shopping.

David, You are braver than me to just to do the upgrades. Gotta be a total pain. I have a legacy program at work that will not run in anything but IE 9. Causes me all kinds of pain.

I went to high school with a black guy that was super racist against other blacks when he missed his meds. He was yelling slurs out my car window in Gatlinburg one time. That was the last time I agreed to drive him home.

Wait....what if we had a thermite catapult........lol

I might mix up some termite and toss it down. Watch it burn right down through the hull as people pick them off. You know after getting bored from the first few attacks.
