When the walls fell.

This entire thread says a lot about people...and I'm not talking about the cyclists. Get over it, share the road. If it's not somebody on a bike then within the next 10th of a mile there will be some other inconvenience. Old ladies in their Buicks, pedestrians, people in other cars texting and yapping on the phone, random critters running across the road....

What would the rest of the site be used for?

The article implies that the Starbucks gatherings by open carry supporters was the catalyst for this warm and fuzzy. Shall the debate now continue?

This country is at war with itself. Screw the rest of the world, if we don't get our house in order and damn quick, there will be nothing left to fight for.

It is M2 AP ammo...just like it says. Military issue M2 (.30-06) Armor Piercing in enbloc clips and bandoleer for M1 Garand. Worth about $1/round. Clips are worth about $1-2 each. Bandoleer I have no idea.

I would give my money to ORSA. Was a member of VPRC for two years and all that got me was in the John Sevier range without having to pay and discounted sporting clays. The range rules there are still what they are. When renewed that second year it took literally 6 weeks to get my renenal "card" (new sticker for electronic gate key). There was zero communication from that club to me. No emails, schedules or anything. Yes, I could have gone to the monthly meetings but I would expect a little more. I am not a member of ORSA (yet) but have shot in several CMP matches out there and had a great time. Seems like an all around good bunch out there.

There is a lot to know about Lugers. Takes years to learn it all. I know next to nothing but that one pictured is easily worth over $1k.

Cool. U stands for Union Metallic Cartridge Company which later merged with Remington.

Another recommendation for Bellshire Hardware. Got a compact tactical from Phil and it is an excellent gun. Flawless and accurate.

I bet by this time tomorrow your mind will change again.

At least you found something that was already butchered.

On the contrary, Wal-Mart only sells factory seconds with special serial numbers.

I am really, really tired of being nickeled and dimed to death.

Are you trying to use the same email address?

I was about to make a crack about starting a thread title with OMG but...thanks. Anyway, congrats to the OP.

Keep your eye out for Yugo M48's or 24/47's. They can be found in like new condition, unmolested, for that price.

If you mean to restore, no. Would need stock, handguard, front & rear sights (but the barred has been tapped for new ones), bayonet lug, front bands, etc....BUT.... This rifle may actually be a Factory sporter, i.e. actually made by Mauser after the war or some such thing. That's a WAG and more research is needed but is not your typical bubba hack job.

That what a grocery is for....and those red, white & blue food stamp cards.

I'm seeing a lot of good driving to work in the morning music. Keep it coming.

Perhaps your next story could be on the inadequacies of UCR data, including state and local reporting methodologies?

FYI, if you have a typical AR carbine with 16" barrel a standard bayonet will not fit.

All you need are some matching pmags and MIAD grip to complete the look.

It amazes me that anyone can seriously consider Wal-Mart and customer service in the same train of thought.

I don't step foot in that department....she buys her own.
