    357 sig ..

    Yep I got ahead of myself. 9mm can not be converted up but .40 and .357 are cross compatible ... Usually.

    357 sig ..

    Just to clarify, Guns chambered in .40 can usually be barrel swapped to .357 or 9mm but a .357 can only swap to 9mm NOT up to .40 and 9mm can only be 9mm. Reason being is that the hole in the end of the slide of a .40 has clearance. A conversion barrel is a little thicker to fill the gap. A .357/9mm slide is too small to accommodate the larger diameter of .40

    I love the round myself however, I figured that I can get near the same performance from a 9mm +p or +p+ (depending on load) and have the ability to shoot the cheaper 9mm target loads. Only reason I don't have a 357 SIG anymore. Just a thought.
  4. I think he should have just fixed it by beating some of you over the head with it!
  5. Hows that differnet from the overkilled AR's being assembled by the equivalent of 8 yr olds in nearly ever city in America?
  6. You'll love it. I have the same one in blue and it is my favorite gun. I have Buffalo Bore's that get 30/30 ballistics out of that little carbine. Just about as perfect an all round utility gun that there is. Great for home defense, small game hunting (.38's) and most larger game in North America (within range of course) with the hot .357's. I added a Lyman tang sight to mine and really like it. Doing it over I'd pony up the extra bucks fro the windage adjustable Marbles.
  7. No. He didn't take a life, he saved his daughters life and the others that would have followed.
  8. Technically, only 3% at most of slaves made it to America. Most (that made it out of Africa) went to South America and the Caribbean.

    8K "reptile" gun

    While the prices are high, in my limited experience in the west, I did notice that gun prices seem to be pretty high as a norm. I'm told Colorado prices, for whatever reason, seem to use the Franklin Gun shop model.
  10. D&T in Goodletsville does Cerakoting, Duracoating, and Powder coating.
  11. At the urging and assitance of Rightwinger, I have begun to teach my family Klingon as our second language.
  12. Technically, USPS can't compete with their own pricing. They will be gone soon.
  13. Just get a single hook. The second hook is needlessly redundant and doesn't do anything. Plus, your receiver is more than likely a single hook.
  14. D&T's transfer fee for TGO members is $15
  15. Except that the GI mags were always considered the flaw or weak point of the M16/M4/AR. I wonder if the military will still insist on using the old tilting followers that Magpul improved considerably? They aren't mil-spec?
  16. As the experts said don't use aluminum with steel, especially in a muzzle device. The different chemistry (galvanic corrosion) will cause all sorts of rust problems and could "weld" themselves together.
  17. I will get one when they are more available, but so far I really like the Shield. When they came out I thought eh, but the more I handle it the more it has grown on me. Size is nice and the trigger is far better than anything else in that format. It's even rumored to take M&P parts!
  18. Yep old news, but it did drive the price of Saiga 12's from the $400-$500 to near the $900 and over mark! At least price has come down, but availability has still kept the price higher than it should.
  19. Yeah, cause Paul never flipped on anything Some of you Paul-bots are getting as bad as the Obamanites and in some cases worse.
  20. I'm using the VLTOR stock and like it. I have also used the Command Arms CBS stock. Rock solid and it works. Although it's new, I like a lot of the Mission First Tactical stocks. I have some of their stuff on the AK and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and design. I like the Magpul CTR (MOE) and have had several but everyone and their mother has one as well . The Magpul UBR is an awesome stock with and equally impressive price tag.
  21. Agreed. On Target is who owns this thing. Arsenal should have taken care of it but being that old I can see why they would state that position, especially if they are thinking it was previously owned. Arsenal has always produced top of the line guns. It is unreasonable to think they wouldn't ever get one out without an issue. After all they do have a warranty department and evidently they don't have much experience with those matters. On Target could have cleared all that up and gotten it taken care of from start to finish with Arsenal, if in fact it was a first time sell. If it was a previously owned gun they should have also taken care of that and made it right. This is On Targets debacle.

    New vs Used

    Depends on the gun and condition. The biggest discount is the lack of tax and TICS on the private sector. In a store it all depends on what the shop had to give for it and unlike the new guns that is not a fixed cost
  23. In their defense it wasn't so obvious. Nobody caught it till Taylor shot it. I had a Red Jacket do some work on a front end of a Saiga once and it was equally as bad. Couldn't tell till you shot it. However, Red Jacket quickly fixed it. That can happen but they should have fixed it and/or their gunsmith should have taken it to his bench and then brought it back out 30 min. later ... fixed.
  24. I have no problem with his statement in context. He wasn't talking about owing the Presidency to Obama, but rather the use of "politics as usual" as a characterization of Obama's campaign. Really think there is nothing there. Sometimes reading between the lines just gets you stuck in a rut.
