Are you using the Double Star dragon brake there? If so, how do you like it?

Well, obviously there's an issue somewhere. Wonder where? Hope you get it worked out.

Can you back that up with evidence or is that another opinionated "read it on the interwebz, so it's gotta be true" statement. We all know Bill Ruger was a snake in the grass, but hey, He's dead:clap: and Ruger as a company, did an immediate about face. AND, how can ANY gun company be "Anti 2nd amendment"? Yes there are times when their business dealings are less than palatable to us as citizens, but CEO's do not have the luxury of high morals. They have profit margins to maintain, employee job security to maintain, basically a business to keep afloat. No one likes it, but it's a live to fight another day policy. They COULD go bankrupt/belly up and produce no guns. OR make a 10 round pistols and leave it to someone else to engineer a way around it. Really though, to call a gun manufacturer "Anti 2nd ammendment"? That's like a corporation of neo-nazis marketing Matzah ball soup!

I don't mean to be rude or critical, but why post this? At least you should have said it was for a friend. Reason being, no one here (legally, or in good conscience) can let you buy anything from the classifieds in a personal sale. Should someone miss this post and sell to you, a hell bent attorney that does some serious digging on this site could get the seller in trouble saying he should have known you were ineligible to purchase being as it is publicly known that you were denied. I am in NO WAY SHAPE FORM OR FASHION condoning transferring a weapon to someone that cannot legally purchase one, but it seems to me you should have given it more thought, unless of course you never plan on buying anything person to person. Sorry.

I carry the SP101 every day. I don't worry too much over capacity because I work here at home. After my first shot I am retreating anyway.....and it won't be to another pistol. However, even when I do carry the SP101 out in the zombie infested real world, the wife is armed and I ain't far from better options.

FROM HORNADY???? ...ummmm, NO, I doubt it very, very seriously. Shoot it, be happy.

I ordered some pitch wood from a guy up in Washington state. I split them into small sticks and put them into old endmill tubes. They burn like gasoline! Toss in a few strike anywhere matches dipped in paraffin and put the little tubes everywhere. Also try dryer lint believe it or not. This is a good subject, we all think we know how to start a fire but Bic lighters and diesel have made some of us lazy. I was thinking of putting some stuff together on this very subject and doing a little workshop with any of the guys that want to meet up. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/survival-preparedness/60805-williamson-county-rally-point.html

Even if it did, when you clean it like normal after the hot water, the bore brush would knock it right off.

Woot! I'm famous now!

I've actually seen you in person, so do you think I could keep my man card but defer the Alpha Male status?

Willis, that's awesome man. High five for some really cool trusting of your blade lovin' brothers. Pay it forward is dead, It's nice to see someone having fun with that kind of spirit. G/L

God bless him for sure. That poor dog. It's funny how more capable than humans ever will be at the art of unconditional love.

Mine said Alpha Male. Sure, whatever.

The corrosive compounds that create these woes are salts. This is all basic chemistry. As extremescene said, don't over think this. The salts are very hydroscopic and they will draw in moisture from the air. That's why people in Arizona could go for a long time without cleaning and see no rust while we might see it as soon as later that day. There is no fancy concoction to remove the salts. No solvents or ammonia, that's all farce. It's Water. The corrosive salts are water soluble. The reason windex works is it's mostly water. Hot water works best. Look at countries like Turkey. Long history of making very good guns. They used corrosive stuff for years. A very novel piece of Turkish surplus is a brass cup that locked onto the bayonet lugs, made for pouring hot (preferably boiling) water down the bore. The way I used to do it when I shot a lot of 7,92x57; I had a foot long piece of rubber hose that fit the chamber and on the other end a plastic funnel. Put a tupperware tub full of water in the microwave and get it to a good boil. Pour from the breech end and the boiling water won't mess with your stock. The water dries almost instantly once the metal gets good and hot, then clean as normal. I use roughly a half gallon of boiling water, then clean like any other gun. Oil well, and forget it. Zero rust.

One thing I like to do is keep a spray bottle filled with Hydrogen Peroxide in my pack. Personally, I will boil the H2O2 for a little bit to concentrate it a little more. Remove say 10-15% of the water. When searching for a blood trail, set the nozzle to mist and spray away. It will foam and sizzle when it comes into contact with blood and makes life much easier.

I would get up and fumble around trying to get my shoes on, then go to the closet to get a mop and some lysol so I can start cleaning up the mess. Then the next morning take my 85lb pit to the vet to make sure he didn't get some nasty disease from the snack he had the night before.

^^^This is true.

I will never understand why man has to go kill the bear???? STUPID, It's a friggin' bear!!! It's what they do. Oooo, you're a tough guy to go in the woods with a rifle and kill the bear, AND THE CUBS? scum bags. It''s not going to bring back the people lost. It's sad, but hey, you're in THIER territory. They are bears, that's just the way it works. You swim in the ocean, you chance getting eat by a shark, you play in the jungle, you might get beat to death by a gorilla, you walk down Jefferson street, you'll get eat by ghetto trash. This is life. God rest the young lady and her stepfather. I can't (and don't want to) imagine such a horrific end.

I noticed one day at the gun shop I usually trade with, the guy behind the counter will check the weapon before he hands it to you to look at, then he'll check it again before it goes back under the glass. Some might say excessive? Not in the slightest. I applaud anyone's efforts to be safer than safe;) As for the this instance, I have three Q's *Why was it loaded? *Why was proper muzzle discipline not being observed? *Why was his booger hook on the bang switch? Had the idiot done the last two like he SHOULD have done, the lady would be still be alive loaded or not. I know this guy must feel horrible, AS HE SHOULD!, but that's what you get for being an idiot. He did an idiots days work and got paid an idiots wage. I 'm so very sorry the poor lady had to pay the price. This should be a lesson to all of us. Even the ones of us that take discipline very seriously. There should never be a time (other than a defense situation) where the muzzle of our weapon should cross flesh...EVER..EVER..EVER. And, we can never say it enough, preach it enough, remind ourselves of it enough. This ain't no video game, there's no reset or health packs or second lives.

With any luck his getaway driver will take a wrong turn and they'll end up at a checkpoint in Israel

You're not the first. I don't care how good he is at building, he's an enema bag with feet.

Can't say with experience, but I have heard good things about him. Plus he's not too far to take a drive if need be.

Isn't that the gunplumber? If so, he's very good at what he does. He's also a douche bag for a human being and I'm with you, I'd buy a Century arms and take a gamble before I'd give him a dime.

I always hated the magazine. Quick changes, even with practice will never match an AR or AK. If you're going to spend the money, cry now, not later. If you want the 7,62x39 go buy yourself a quality (I SAID QUALITY NOT CENTURY!) AK-47. Feed it crap and watch it spit them out over and over. Want accuracy? Try Hornady or some other brass cased quality ammo and watch accuracy go WAY up. The biggest problem with the AK is poor accuracy and 98% of it is traceable to crummy ammo. Wolf, Monarch and surplus, they're great for blasting zombies, but don't expect tight groups. If you want to go with the .223/5,56 do yourself a favor and go buy an AR. You might be upset when you have to pay for it, but you won't come back a month later cussin' me for it. Bet on it. I love Ruger, I do. AND, with the death of Bill Ruger, they've improved an order of magnitude but the mini?? I know it's an OK rifle, but is that what you want? A rifle that's "OK"?

My toyota is an automatic, it doesn't have a dipstick. Needless to say, I was confused.
