Moped

:koolaid:DANG!!! Something Wicked this way comes!!! That is definitely eviling looking! Glad I Bough my M14 last week or else other things would be sailing out the gun chest in order to purchase one of those!!! I wish they used M14 mags though. We might see a new supply of them come on the market! I think I'm reasonably certain that Mr. Schummer of New York ain't going to like these things one bit! He's a pile of !

Oh, I know how much it cost to build a match gun. Personally, if I were going to build a match gun, I'd probably go with an AR. It costs a lot less and from what I understand that's what everyone shoots now. When I was shooting with the Army Reserve Team here in Tennessee, we still shot the M14 NM, but the All Army Team was in the process of switching over to the AR. Some of our team members bought ARs to convert, but I didn't have the money to purchase one. I still love the feel of the M14 though and have always wanted another one since left the Army Reserve. This was my first chance to get one that I could afford. That's a nice looking setup there gcrookston! I hope you still get it out and shoot it from time to time!

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard on WNOX that the reason he did this was to get back at Munpower for coming into William's district and campaigning for and supporting another Republican during the primary. There is apparently bad blood between the two. Vengence can be a B#$%h sometimes!

I just found out that the President-Elect has a website where citizens may post comments about some of the issues that he will be facing. One issue that we here are all concerned about is Gun Control. Please go to this site and state your opinion. Let President-Elect Obama know what we think! I do urge you to be polite and respectful. Here is the link. http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087800000004tTu&srPos=0&srKp=087 You all also might want to do a search on this site. There seems to be several different Gun Control Issues out there!!!

All that is coming after the get done with the Firearms Mfgs.

OOPS!

Ok, so I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack, but what is the big deal about having a H&K upper not fit any other AR lower? It doesn't convert the rifle to full auto or anything does it?

Thanks you all! I was lucky enough to be issued one on the Army Reserve Team I used to shoot on. They were sweet! While I don't expect this one to be in the same ball park as that one, I still think it will be fun to take out and burn some ammo with. Just wish 7.62x51 wasn't so danged expensive!

Good luck with your quest. Personally, I don't ever see you finding a ragged out SP101. That has to be one of the ruggest revolvers every made. And you are spot on with your opinion of the Ruger Company. I think they've done more to hurt our cause than any other company in the market over the years. They do however make some really good firearms. I love my Mark II bull barrel. But right now I suspect it is the only Ruger I will ever own again... Well maybe a SP101 in .32 H&R Mag. I've always wanted one of those.

Sorry about that! I think I got it now. I was going to sleep with her tonight, but my wife said if I did, it would have to be on the couch. Guess Mabelle will have to become the Queen of my Safe! Thanks for the help guys!!!

I'm working on it!!! Obviously I'm doing something wrong!

I've been working on this deal for since the end of October with my boss and we finally got it done today! Without further adu, let me introduce to you, my version of Mabelle! Mabelle is a Polytech M14S. Nothing fancy!

Not to mention once you change out the bolt, you'll need to have the head space checked by a gun smith. Just have him change the firing pin out.

Check with SARCO or Numrich Gun Parts. Odds are 9 in 10 that they have a firing pin for that Enfield. Here is SARCO's website. http://www.sarcoinc.com/ and here is Numrich Gun Parts. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/. I expect it would be kind of fun putting that old rifle to right! Nice looking old rifles BTW!

It sounds cool! It's no big deal and can wait till you get back in from sea. I may hold on to my pennys and see just exactly what you do pull out of your closet!

I think the .22 makes a lot of sense. Right now, I'd probably go with my Highpoint 9mm Carbine and a Ruger Blackhawk Conversion in .357/9mm. The reason for the carbine is because it's a fairly small package (fits in a duffle bag), is in a convient caliber (you can find 9mm anywhere you can purchase ammo just about) and it runs flawlessly. I'd pick the Blackhawk for few moving parts to break, they never jam, same caliber as the Highpoint, and dual caliber means I can use three different calibers .38spl, .357 mag and 9mm. My second sidearm would be a Ruger II or III target pistol with a 6" barrel. That's for rabbits and such. I'd go with .22 rifle, but I want something bigger for defensive situations and I can't see me carrying two rifles if I were on foot. A shotgun might be a good choice, but the ammo weights too much. I thought of a bigger rifle, but I like being able to use ammo in both my long gun and my main pistol. Of course a lever action in .357 or another type of 9mm rifle would work just as well.

No problem. We should all get together for a shoot. I have a bubbadized Isaphore that I could bring out along with some .308. You don't happen to have some pics of that old Mauser do you?

I think this guy is on crack. While I do think there is some sort of possiblity of a Civil War, I think it's very slim. I think a depression is a much, much more likely senerio. I also don't see this country falling under the influence of any other country. I think at the worst we'd become isolationist.

Ok, this is a firearms forum, so what's your all's thinking about a bug out/survival weapon or weapons?

Hey Mark@Sea What about the Enfield and the Mauser? Got an idea what you might want for them? What kind of shape are they in?

Watch at www.golsn.com. One usually shows up there from time to time. Seems like the prices are usually in the $400 range. There is a gun show this weekend in Knoxville at the fair grounds. It might be worthe your while as well.

Other than the cool factor, I just don't get it. Seems a sawed off double barrel would be more handy and a whole lot simpler to load.

I worked in Sevierville until three months ago and went in there a lot. They are a helpful bunch there. I hope that it's not true. But with Bass Pro there and the possiblity of other places like that going in, I'd say they are probably between a rock and a hard place. It's a shame because they carry stuff you don't see at Bass Pro and Gander Mountain.

Thanks guys! You've got me hooked now. I'm going to study and then go for my license.

Man, it's bad! I changed jobs back in September, because I saw the writing on the wall where I worked. We went through a lay off in May and the ones that survived got their hours cut back to 32 a week. Then they had another round at the end of July. I survived that one too. I told my boss that I was going to have to start hunting soon. He thought that would be for the best. He ended up helping me get the job I have now. He started at my new firm on Monday! This is the third shop we've worked together at. And our old firm just laid off again right before thanksgiving. Good luck on the job hunt!
