The A-Team never used MIni-14's.  They were Ruger AC556's.  Ruger's full tilt boogie version.  :cool:

O god. Face...meet palm.

I can't substantiate this but it's my belief there will be lots of converts in the coming years.  Not religious converts mind you..."I need an excuse" converts.  Sick people looking for justification to live out their psychopathic fantasies.  They see the trend of goat humpers getting away with it and often little or no punishment.     Now we see people die because they drew a comic strip.  WHAT?  A comic character led to murder?  Well, anyone with an axe to grind can claim the cause of Jihad and kill the object of their disgust.  It wasn't even a particularly disrespectful comic.  Certainly nothing like South Park and others do to Jesus Christ.     I wish I could draw and post it on the world scene.  How about a cross eyed rabbi circumcising mohammed with a butter knife?       I'm usually pretty indifferent.  I don't care about race, creed or color.  I think everyone is equally worthless.  BUT, I give ragheads a gold star.  [preferably a 6 point star with a circle]  They can all fertilize the soil for my part.  

Too little too late.  They've let this muzzy filth into their country for years.  Let them infiltrate and do what those rats do best.  Now, they have to live with it.  They're worse than the clap, take a shot, it goes away for a time.....then....it's back again.     We haven't seen anything yet.  These sick pukes have only just begun.  

I recently sold mine. Much as I liked it, I was offered too much for it. BUT...I still have 49 rounds I loaded and one empty piece of brass. This is once fired Prvi brass. The load is a 98g cast bullet over 3.5g of Trail Boss. If anyone passes through Fairview and would like to pull the bullets for the primed brass, you're welcome to it. Just PM me. I want NOTHING in return.

They'd fire me.  I'd snatch that SOB out and sling it in a ditch on a back road somewhere.  

Wouldn't matter. The chamber is what's fluted.

Sourcing a barrel might be fun. Can't turn your own, the chambers on roller lockers are fluted to aid extraction. Not easily done.

An open field. Practice and take it easy. Let you in on a few secrets. 99.9% chance you will never have a wreck until you start thinking you're good. If you ever catch yourself thinking you're getting good at it....take a break. Also, get a GOOD helmet. If you have a $2 head then wear a $2 helmet. Appraise the value of your body and spend money on boots, helmet etc accordingly. No one who rides regularly ever says, man I wish I had bought cheap crap instead of this top shelf stuff. No one.

I know they've come a LONG way with 4 cycle and I've seen some well built late models that are just plain scary but they still can't give you the thrill. 4 cycles have a pyramid power band. Comes up and peaks then falls off if you look at a graph. A 2 stroke is a plateau. It jumps up immediately and maintains a level amount of power over a broad rpm range. I've rode a 650 single cylinder (4 cycle) that pulled so hard it was rough on your shoulders and it paled in comparison to a buddy's KX500. That thing is just plain STUPID! It's really sad to see the 2cycle dying off.

I gotta disagree on the two strokes. I had a Suzuki PE400 that was a thumper in woods. Great low end but would jump like a bullfrog with a simple twist. Maintenance was brain dead and only mildly involved. New plug was the most frequent. I did go through a lot of plugs. New top end about twice over four years. I was in my late teens....I abused the unholy hell out of it. I used to sneak out on the road and run it at wide open throttle in second or third gear just because I loved to hear the sound. I wouldn't run a 4 cycle as hard. If you go with a two stoke, do yourself a favor, don't assume they're simple...even though they are. Spend a little time and educate yourself thoroughly. They're so simple to turn wrenches on, if you really know what's going on in there, it's quite fun and adds to th experience. I will say you'll need to keep a wrench and a spare plug or two in a tool kit. A 4 cycle need not do such a thing but a plug can and will act stupid when you're furthest from the truck. Lol!

Pits have been bred to be what they are now. It's a shame. I have one and ride the fence on the matter. I side with the typical PB lover in that, they ARE very misunderstood. I don't side with PB lovers in that they are NOT always the lovable sweetheart. Pit Bulls are a 'Might Makes Right' dog. Works out fine for me, I feel the same way. If you're the kind of person who asks your dog to do something, pits are not for you. If you have ANY issue asserting your will and dominance, pits are not for you. MY pit will do ANYTHING I tell him to, inasmuch as he has the ability to understand. I love him and would fight over him any day. I do NOT ask him to do anything, I TELL him. I've been accused of being abusive because when I tell him to do something, I sound something akin to John Kreese. BUT, he minds, he respects me and he gets frequent belly rubs and crock pot deer ribs and neck meat, I ain't eatin' it but he loves it. We have a simple routine and he has it memorized. I let him out of the shop in mornings. He hangs out outside (fenced in yard) for the day and comes back in at night. He waits for me every morning and every evening. I can actually go through every ritual he and I have without some much as a word. I say all this but....I don't trust him. Not me mind you, others. I will bite him on the nose and dare him to give me a dirty look, but I don't trust him around others. He hates EVERYONE but me and my wife. I don't wanna sound hippy but it ain't his fault. He didn't ask to be the way he is. Fortunately for him, he got rescued while he was young and I gave him a good home and kept him outta trouble.

Looks heavy.......of course that's just me thinking about how I would ever get my fat ass in there.  LOL.   Looks great man.   :up:

It's sad, but it's better than the possible alternatives.  

It's sitting on a runway somewhere. Transponder ripped out. Carpet soaked in blood. All occupants probably tossed out to sea, that are is the most shark infested waters on earth, they'll never be found. Patience is the greatest weapon our enemies wield. Sooner or later, the world will see the missing planes again. The success of 9/11 is still fresh on their minds and a jet plane is a helluva guided missile. ....now, with plenty of time to spare, just how much ordnance can be loaded onto one of these planes? OR maybe a black market nuclear weapon? OR a plane filled with traditional explosives and a nice dirty bomb to boot. Dispersion would be WIDE! Tin foil? Maybe, but no one can deny it lies in the realm of possibility. Can you imagine them sitting on one of these till the next Olympics? How many people could they kill?

As opposed to an adhesive, why not use a very hard lube like some of that crayon hard crap they use on commercially cast bullets? While sucky in the scheme of lubes, it would provide some gas seal as well as lubrication and if applied right, should be more than enough to keep the bullet adhered to the nose of the case. Personally, I'd like to see some results from a pressure gauge....just out of curiosity.

Thank god for wifi that reaches the bathroom. I haven't had a stomach virus/flu since I've been married but I had a right nasty one when I was young dumb and single. Could NOT be late for work again! Friday evening I put a liter of vodka on that stomach virus. No way I could do that now, I'd be dead but I swear Sunday morning it was GONE. Hangovers are much easier to deal with. I figured you put antiseptic on anything else biologically contaminated. I never said it was smart but stomach viruses don't thrive in 80 proof.

You dropped it, didn't you? :squint:  :squint:  :squint:

Then those people are idiots. Dave Ramsey will tell you in a heart beat, get out of debt then build wealth. Good on you! Debt free is the only way to live.

Had a good buddy of mine do a preliminary test for me. Needs refinement. I got a few really tiny splits in the mouth. Most likely due to my pisspoor roll crimping. It needs work and I may up the charge a little, but it's a beginning!!! He did say recoil was laughable, leading was nada and extraction was very easy.

Using 7 1/2 shot I can get about 130g worth.  NOT much, but my runnin' buddy is bringing me some #9 shot that'll work out much better.  

Got bored. Started tinkering.......ohh god, not agian! :popcorn: :popcorn: :rofl: :rofl: Using a Lee Factory Crimp die for .45 ACP, I removed the guts and set it in the press, touching the shell holder I found that actually fit. Used some Winchester AA .410 hulls I found at the range, I used the FCD as a sizer. Then I set up my drill press, locked the quill and used the top of my vise as a reference for a razor blade and proceeded to trim them down to fit the cylinder of my Blackhawk. This actually worked VERY well believe it or not!!! Then I used a BPI stup wad cut in half. The whole wad will take up too much room and you can't get enough shot in there to be worth the effort. Then used an overshot card and a roll crimper to make the cutest little booger you ever saw!!! I'm hoping they will at least shred a beer can at 7 yards. That should be death to any snakes I encounter. I used bullseye but won't share the charge till I make sure they don't explode in my face. LOL!!!! Merry Christmas ya'll!!!!

Only one of them is a knife. The other is his Balmshot. You can't kick ass with chapped lips. http://www.balmshot.com

Shouldn't have to repeat at all if the humidity is low and any corrosive salts are neutralized. If you're shooting any mil surp ammo, use soap and hot water. Solvents and ammonia aren't gonna do,what good ole hot water will. You might've missed some in your last cleaning. It happens and rust spreads like cancer. Glad you caught it before it got bad.

That's not possible. The way the idlers and belt route is laid out, you can't really get it backwards. It's either on there or it ain't.
