Capbyrd

I got my first AOL account when I was in JROTC. Through different activities and tests, I had been promoted to Captain and my last name was Byrd. I've been using Capbyrd ever since.

Who in their right mind would say no. I have been wanting more outdoor options around here forever and the opportunity to shoot 1000 yards would be DREAM!

If you wanted something similar to the one from aim, you could get the Special Grade from the CMP. It has the new barrel, new stock and everything has been reparked so you have basically, a re-arsenaled rifle. If I had a bit more money when I bought mine, i would have gone that route. For a little less, you can order a Springfield Special Grade and have "Collector grade metal" in new wood. You don't get a new barrel but the barrel should be in great shape. I paid 620 shipped for a Service Grade springer and I couldn't be happier. I don't have guages so I can't tell you the muzzle wear and throat erosion but the park seems to be very good and I got a stock that is going to clean up beautifully. I tore her apart last night and everything on the rifle matches date wise and manufacturer except I have an HRA trigger group. I highly recommend going the CMP route and if you need the membership part, just join the GCA. Its 25 bucks and takes care of that part. You can't go wrong with the CMP.

Yep. This rifle and all of the ammo I will be buying for it will be coming from CMP. I am not a reloader so that is my best option. I'm going to be taking it apart today and getting all of the cosmo and such off. There are some places that are just bad.

I will have plenty of clips here soon. I just ordered a spam can full of rounds preloaded on clips from the CMP. About a 4 week wait right now. Gives me lots of time to clean and familiarize myself with the rifle. Sorry for the crappy pics. I don't own a digital camera so my phone is the best that I can do. This is also the way it was shipped. After some cleaning, it will look amazing!

are the frames made here or is the gun just assembled here?

Well I just went out on break and got it moving. I checked again and it wasn't moving at all. I ran the elevation through a full cycle to see if there were any problems with that and there weren't. I tried turning windage again and it miraculously started moving. Hooray for no more problems. I can't wait to get this thing cleaned up and start shooting it.

I thought it was doing this at first but I clicked forever and it never made it all the way so I assumed it was stuck. I will check it when I have more time. Maybe I just got ahead of myself. Thanks everyone.

I just received my SA service grade from the CMP. I still haven't cleaned it up or anything but something I noticed when I was messing with it on my lunch break was that the rear sight will not move when you turn the windage knob. What happens is that the aperture begins to move and then it pops back to where it started. Can anyone help me with this or should I call the folks at CMP to see what they say? Thanks!

Welcome. I too work close enough to shoot on my lunch break. Isn't it great!

They are sticklers for the rules out there. Safety first and all that. And there is a guy that rides around on a golf cart that can be a bit overbearing at times. I try not to let him ruin my afternoon of shooting and everything works out for me. DeSoto is not an option for me. Again, this was just my choice and I am not asking anyone else to make it too. And I'm not insulting anyone for their choices.

I've spent some time at T1G in the past when they were Olive Group and two friends of mine are part time employees over there. The facility is fantastic. I can't wait for the silencer shoot!

Yeah I did. And it was completely worth it. Deerslayer gets it. I paid alot of money to join but feel that I have already gotten my money's worth. There are just so many positives to it that didn't make sense not to join.

Thanks Chance! Yes I still need to holler at you about the AR!

I don't want to. But lately, I forget alot of things. Now that I am subscribed to this thread though, I should remember.

I hope i dont forget!

I joined in January. It was not a decision that I came too easily as I do not have much expendable income. But I pay a lot of money for guns that I can not shoot unless I go out there. It takes me between 15 and 20 minutes to get there and I can always get a lane. I've met some really nice people and learned while out there. Overall, I don't regret it at all. P.S. If you join in January like I did, you can break up the fees. I only paid 530 to join. The bad part is that I still have to re-up in June to the tune of another 240 bucks.

BEAUTIFUL! This is very similar to a build that I want to do. I just don't have the money right now.

Wow! Those are both really cool looking. Sorry I have no experience with them but whatever you get, I would like to check it out. Could definitely be a possibility for me in the future.

If you were on this side of the state, I might be able to help a little. You wouldn't happen to have an extra receiver laying around would you?

Yeah i should mention I never do the 3D thing.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

my solution is to just click the thread title instead of the first new post box. then I click view first unread. at least then I dont have to guess where my last place was.

Honestly, the gun is extremely straight forward as far as disassembly goes. I figured it out without any help. the only hard part was the barrel bands.

clearing cookies and temp files and what not didnt seem to work for me.
