  1. Everyone should call out Nutnfancy. He is one of the worst mall ninjas and his videos are way too long for the amount of content that he DOESN'T provide.
  2. I look at it much the same as the car world. There are three levels involved. Stock - just as it came from the manufacturer Modified - throw a few different parts at it (handguards, wheels, seat covers, grips, etc.) Custom - Going completely out there and doing something completely different. The problem with it though is that modified, in the gun world will scare people off. Who knows what someone hacked on to get some part to work in it. And thats why I think a lot of people use custom. It sounds better. Even if it really isn't. I haven't seen any other AR's like mine but I'm sure its not entirely unique. I would consider it a custom AR though since it was assembled by me using a very specific parts list. And just from that, it fits this definition of custom.
  3. So a few months back, I bought a GSG5PK. I brought it home and immediately decided that I was going to put a side folder on it and SBR it. Then when looking around, I found a couple of other mods for it. First up was putting on a claw mount and my old aimpoint. After that, I found the SEF lower mod being done and I love the looks of the grip. Its an airsoft part and pretty cheap so I went ahead and bought one and got to work modding it to make it fit. I was really happy with the turnout but the safety looked out of place. I already knew that I was going to be changing out the safety lever but I thought that this was going to be a really tough project so I was planning on this happening much later. But, I went to a friends shop to borrow his drill press and we ended up using a giant CNC mill to make quick work of all of the mods. It took a few passes but we got the selector to fit perfectly and move between all settings. It fires on E and F and will not fire on S. Its pretty awesome as far as I'm concerned. Here is a video of me moving the selector between settings. You can hear that it is a very positive click in each position.
  4. Aim doesn't have the best selection and they sell out quickly but they are far and away my favorite company to order from. J&G and SOG both just seem second rate in comparison.
  5. I believe that long guns are 12 bucks and handguns are 20.
  6. just regular firearms.
  7. Whatever you use to clean your 22's will work fine. I finally got my stamp back and have played around with mine a little. Tons of fun even if its not the quietest.

    Ruger 77/357

    Street prices on rugers are never close to msrp. I expect this to be in the 600-650 range.
  9. MW2 is by far the best of the series. It only suffered from a lack of support. And given the changes that were happening at IW at the time, I get that. At this point, after playing Black Ops for way too many hours, I would buy a new MW2 that had been reskinned and patched and I would be happy with that.

    Ruger 77/357

    Many of you are familiar with the Ruger 77 series bolt action rifle. There are currently three models available with the Ruger rotary mag, the 77/22, 77/17and 77/44. Well now they are adding the 77/357 to that lineup. The rotary magazine will hold 5 rounds of 357. I've always thought it would be cool to have a matching pair of Rugers that consisted of a 77/44 and a Redhawk. But since the 357 is a caliber that I am much more likely to use, this may take its place.
  11. I wasn't meaning to imply that I didn't trust it. Just that the plastic lower would be more at home on my smaller caliber rifle than the more expensive aluminum lower. JMO
  12. Whatever is closest will do just fine. Then I'll pick through the dead bodies until I find something I like better.
  13. I really need to pick one of these up. This would be a good replacement for my 22 ar and I can use the existing lower to build a larger caliber.
  14. When are you gonna be there tomorrow? I'll be there most of the morning.
  15. Curmudgeonly old men. haha I don't mind the 10 shot. Last I checked, the real cowboys weren't carrying around .22s anyways. So in caliber alone, its an abomination. It doesn't matter if the reload to shoot time evens out in the long run, if I can shoot longer between reloads, its worth it to me. a 110 round drum is fun too for the same reason. its a bear to load it back up but it gives you more enjoyment between reloads.
  16. Just announced. Ruger is releasing a 10 shot version of the single six. The sights are hideous so I will wait to see what else is available but I will definitely be adding one to my collection.
  17. I got to play with one back in April and I'm still smiling!!!!
  18. Old people and technology...
  19. So as long as everything is in the past, Garufa is back from his vacation and we are allowed to thread dig, then I'm good. I can't speak for any of the other guys but I'm personally done with this mess. I can let things go pretty quickly. And for the record, the other site, that you hate so much is definitely not competition for TGO. And I don't think we ever had thoughts of it being that way. Its just a much more laid back place for us to always be whatever. I know you are a member so make a post or two. I promise we won't ban you.
  20. Are those the factory grips? It does look a lot better than factory. When I buy another C9, I want to see about getting some rubber grips instead of the hard plastic.
  21. I never saw this so I figured I would add my vote to it.
  22. That is actually a Glock that I might be able to stomach. I think what drives me away from glock isn't as much the grip angle as it is the hump. This one looks like my hand would like it. And the stipling looks just right. Not too much nor too little.
