I find it easier to steady a slightly heavier barrel. When a scope is on my 10/22, I need the weight. With iron sights though, I like the lighter weight.

ehh, TN was playing the second team and the browns still had in their starters. We didn't do too terribly.

Sweet. I'm on course to have mine finished mid September. Clay and discussed a trip to Natchez. You down?

I have one with windows and the windows do seem a big cheapy/flimsy but I like it. I'll probably buy more without windows.

Congrats. The mosin I bought earlier this month from guns and leather is a 42 izzy. Nice to know she has a twin in the city.

Everything I have heard about this gun has been fantastic. I am still waiting on mine. Guns & Leather has sold several already from my understanding. I had ordered one but I decided to wait since they will be releasing a Magpul edition and a threaded barrel version in the coming months. The only bad things that I have seen are that the mags are proprietary (big whoop) and if you try to use a standard AR grip, the grip will fit but there is a small gap left between the receiver and the grip. Other than that, everyone that I have talked to has absolutely raved about this gun.

No but I havent been looking either. Plus, in Memphis, it takes about a year for something new to hit our shelves.

Go to the site. The 6.8 is in the list of calibers.

Tell me about it. I drove to Guns and Leather and bought mine. The closest place that MIGHT have one is Gander Mountain in Jackson. If you do buy one, and need to get all the cosmoline off, here is what I did for the metal parts. I first wiped all the excess off with some old towels and ran a little solvent all over everything. Then I completely disassembled the gun and set it outside hanging from a pallet. By the end of the day, there was a puddle of cosmoline on the ground and all of my metal parts were dry as could be. It worked fantastically. If you have a large oven, you can use that too. Heat will liquify the cosmo and it was just drip off. I dont know what I'm going to do about my stock yet though.

True wisdom, my friend. True wisdom!

Awesome! Thanks!

Grabbed a bunch. Thanks for the link!

Downloaded! Thanks!

So can anyone help me identify a bayonet? I have these two bayonets that I inherited but I don't know anything about them. I was able to use the almighty internets to identify the short one (on the right) as a "1892 Krag-Jorgensen knife bayonet" that is stamped 1900. Sadly the scabbard on this bayonet is dented in a few places. The second bayonet (on the left), I have not been able to identify. It looks very similar to a Swiss 1889 but has that extra loop between the handle and the blade. Anyone have a clue what it is? I will try to get some better pictures. There really aren't any marks on it other than a serial number at the end of the handle and a symbol on the ricasso. The symbol looks like three cirles intersecting each other. I will try to take a decent pic of it. Thanks

I have always kept mine fully loaded so that I have plenty ready to go for the Zombie Apocolypse. I have never had a problem. However, I shoot often enough and run through all of my magazines when I do, that I dont really have them constantly compressed for more than a couple of weeks. I have had some cheap magazines give me problems in the past while shooting but I just took them apart and stretched the spring a little and problems vanished. In my experience on different forums, it seems people are about 50/50 on this topic.

All I have is a storage rack. Since I took this picture, I have added a 91/30 to my collection and an AR lower. I also have a M&P15-22 on order. So basically, I am now out of room and have NO idea what I am going to do next. I think I might buy one of those cheapish gun cabinets until I can afford a Browning tactical safe. Oh yeah, since I took the picture, I have added a shelf next to the rack that houses ammo, cleaning supplies and my handguns.

Looks good man. I've got to figure out what to do for an upper now. I figure mine will be complete in October and then we need to go shoot. Edit: my LPK came in today. I was able to put everything together except the bolt catch and I still need to finish hammering in the trigger guard roll pin. Incredibly easy.

I've got a stripped CMMG lower sitting on my desk. My LPK will be here tomorrow and I'll be ordering my buttstock this week. As for what upper, I know it will be 5.56 and a 16 inch barrel but I have no clue outside of that. I still have alot to learn about twists and all that before I can decide how to spend my money on my upper.

I'd love to see if we could set up something for some of the memphians. I haven't shot outside in years and miss it.

Can I borrow it? Haha

Welcome! I recognize the name and avatar from FTW. How's it going man?

I know marlin and Henry both make some. Who else out there makes a nice lever .22?

Sup G? Glad you made it over.

Here Here!

Glad to hear you got worked out because I decided on one of their uppers yesterday and will be ordering soon
