Black ops out of control? U decide....
xtriggerman replied to xtriggerman's topic in Survival and Preparedness
Tin foil....LOL I for one am not surprised by the allegations. What I do enjoy about it all is doing what was never available to me before and that is do my own investigating on the net of these specific allegations of Government conspiracy against the "consume-er" population. Never before has the good, the bad and the ugly info been at your finger tips before. You just have to have the ambition to track it all down and cross collaborate the institutional info. Its a whole lot easier to throw funny pictures at some thing you don't take the time to investigate. True, much of this can very well be BS but in every pile of sh*t there is a seed of truth. You just have to want to find it. Lets all throw in together and hire this outfit to build us a T4 nano bot that will dislodge brain cells that neural transmit Liberal thoughts! As ridiculous as that sounds, I thought it was equally ridiculous back in the 90's when a Doctor told me he thought my son's Compulsive Obsessive disorder was caused by a virus in the brain. At that point I learned all about viruses and how they do their dirty deeds. Its safe to assume much of the lattest nano bot tech is not going to be assessable to the average Joe. Blowing something off after logging many hours of research is one thing but blowing it off on the merits of feelings is....well you all know the answer to that! Liberals do that all the time.... -
This is a good segment of Alex Jones raising the question of just what the hell is going on with Gov sponsored population control. Believe it or not, its still interesting.

I had a friend who used to hunt them a lot. He would set up like turkey hunting over a Stewart electronic call with his shot gun. He set the call up behind a tree so he didn't have to worry about hitting the call. He said they would run right over the call in no time flat if they were in the area. He said they were to leary to get open ground rifle shots at most of the time but ring the dinner bell in thicker cover and they would come in and back out fast so a fast handling shotgun worked well for him.

Well, if you gotta know..... there's a AR15 hammer in there running things. You see the MPA folks that originally built it as a MPA 971 wanted to use a straight up FAL FCG. But the FAL hammer was only functional under the Cobray M11 upper if the FAL lower was mounted way off center to the upper. So much so that MPA couldn't use the terribly off center rear FAL sight with a front barrel sight. An AR hammer corrects that major down fall of the original design. I also shaved a crap load of useless steel (& using alloy lower) off the unit taking it from 13.5 lbs to 10.25 lbs as you see it with an empty mag. What makes this a plausible unit is the super HD drum mags. Clearly, there is no better made hi cap drum mag than these Sumoi units and at a bargain price. When I use to work at Auto Ordinance, they used to sell 39 rd Tommy drums for stupid money and they in fact were Jap made "Toy" drums for non firing replicas. You can tell those by the cheap bent tab cartridge pushers. Pure garbage but they did actually work as long as they weren't over wound. Nothing more fun than building a one of a kind!

I'm fixed OK for 9's but that would be a nice convertible set up with a 22 TCM barrel & recoil spring. Now if I can only figure a way to get those 72 rd Sumoi drums in a.........

A few good points have all ready been covered here but here it is as seen threw a gunsmith's eye. The 336AS is only a cheaper version due to colored hardwood rather than walnut if my recall is correct. from a practical perspective, the Marlin is a better gun simply due to the ease of servicing the internal parts. Swapping out the ejector on the Marlin is dam near an eyes closed affair along with R&R the extractor. That's due to the simplest bolt removal in the industry. If it was any easier, you would have to have a 98 Mauser in your hands. Dropping the bolt out of a Marlin by only removing the lever pivot screw gives you cleaning rod access straight into the chamber. In a Win 94, NONE of the above operations should be attempted by a mediocre hammer & screw driver guy where as a 12 year old could be coached threw the 336 tear down with ease. Look at the Winchester follower. Those late 60's 70's area 94 had the crappiest stamped followers that were either bending or cracking so much that Winchester got tired of stamping out replacements and FINALY put out a nice cast replacement some time in the 80's. All the AE's had the better cast followers. If that 1973 unit has the cast black chrome receiver, forget about it ever getting a factory black finish. Those castings were so bad with silicone from their lost wax manufacture, they were impossible to blue so they got a weird one of a kind factory black chroming. The Winchester is a slimmer, handier open sight gun but for all the above reasons and others mentioned falls way short of the practicality of the 336 design. You just can't beat an average Joe nearly Military style R&R design.

Probably belly up time after a chapter 11. Wholesalers used to always discount the most in February so yah its bad. They should have moved ALL their production south years ago. I moved out of NY and am doing far better without the tax burden & the gun laws are just top tier assa nine. They need to sell a crap load of guns just to pay the corporate income tax and the high state income tax burdened pay rolls there. Bad decisions all around. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-23/2nd-largest-gunmaker-nears-default-americans-buy-fewer-firearms-post-obama

I think about the only way your going to get positive ejection on that action is to work the bolt back quickly. More than likely, the bolt face ejector spring is kicking the casing off the bolt face as soon as the casing mouth clears the chamber opening and that's to soon. Small diameter case rim in a full size receiver bolt hole = poor slow bolt extraction. Just a wild guess....

Starz has 2 that are stand outs, Black Sales (if not for the homosexual twist) with great sea battles. The other being Outlander. In Outlander the 1740's period flintlocks and swords were spot on period, the acting was stellar with a bad guy that made you want to grab him by the neck threw the flat screen. I think the wife and I watch the first 4 episodes straight threw. Defiantly one of the most addictive Si Fi / Historical flicks we'v seen altho the current episodes have mellowed considerably.

I know its a pain to listen to this entire presentation but this is only one of the things he uncovered. Basicaly the engineered species of fungus released into the atmosphere is absorbed benignly into the brain. It purpose is to send the full range of brain wave activity threw its crystalline nano structure. It also acts as a receptor of specific sent signals. Basicaly, the idea is as the guy puts it, the ability to record brain impulses of violence and or others, and then artificially send that "program" to who ever they want a rebellion out of. These non earthy funguses are all ready here and being ingested according to a Lab he quotes from. If I were an alien species wanting to control a sub species, this would be exactly how you go about it with taking away independent brain function VIA micro wave RF. The world is now hooked on wireless every thing why not our brains into the mix? Crazy isn't it..... Thinking about how all this may tie into Bible stuff..... Exactly what was the function of a head halo around saints any way? A shielding devise? Maybe we ought to build em & sell em!

If this researcher is correct, The original human species is finished. And its happening covertly right now? This is dry but part 2 becomes flat out incredible. Way, Way beyond the chemtrails title. The nuts and bolts of mind control on steroids! Alien technology tightening around the neck of the Human species. Scary stuff and proof? IDK but if all this can be verified by other sources.

The 1893..... that - Didn't- get away!
xtriggerman replied to xtriggerman's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I once did a complete restoration on a 1892 all so in 25-20 that my Brother in law has. THAT Winchester is the height of lever smoothness in design. Nothing else comes close to that feeling of racking a round in a 92. I have a Savage 23B in that cal with a mint bore. That's another project on the back burner. The 25-20 would be a better round with spitzer type bullets for the bolt guns so one of these days I'll remanufacture the mag well to accept Win 351 SL mags. That 351 aftermarket mag loads longer spitzer bullet 25-20's like it was made for them. With the Savage's factory deep throated chamber, nothing else has to be done other than just the mag well mod. I want to gear that for a coyote gun. -
Hey folks, I picked up some 1911 mags in a used sale box at Cabela's a few weeks ago and was impressed with the mags that had "shooting Star" stainless followers in them. In the passed I swapped in S&W followers in my K mags to get an extra round to run but they were rather cheesey plastic and these simple spring type followers worked slick as extra round 1911 followers. So I tracked down this guy on Ebay for "look alike" shooting stars in a 5 unit set for 13.95 shipped. They actually are original Shooting Star followers that Midway sells for $19 each! What a gift there.... Any way, To get these to work in a K40 mag the opposite side to the slide stop must be ground back so they fit into the mag body and then only the bottom slide stop plate needs to be shortened at the front end so the follower can ride straight up & down while the back downward end is flat with the back of the mag. Next the last spring coil must be bent around and clipped as in the picture. This keeps the follower from coming out of the mag when empty. Also, just a tiny grind or needle filing on the little spring hook tab so the spring can fit around it nicely. I didn't take final measurements but can do so if any one wants to make the attempt. These are rather ingenious designed followers and make the 6's 7's and 7's 8's with out pinching the casings on a closed slide. These work really slick and don't suffer from possible sluggish movement like the plastic ones when they get really powder fowled.

Dry firing is always good medicine to keep the flinch monsters from taking up residency! That nice old Ruger works wonders in stress relief also...... very therapeutic.

Most folks call it a "ring". When some debris like a chunk of dirt, stick or anything that can fall into the barrel afield obstructs the bullet's path out of the barrel. At first the bullet tries to ride over the dedris and once the crap wedges between the bullet and bore, it stalls the bullet's speed just enough that the pressure tries to get past the bullet, creating a bulge ring. Some times you can see the bulge ring more pronounced on one side of the barrel. I'v had to shorten the barrels just rear of the bulge ring on a few 30-30's a 30-06 and a 7mm mag. Also I'v see a few on 22 LR guns also. Oddly, my friend has an old Winchester 22 with a bulge ring about 4 or 5 inches from the muzzle that still shoots relatively well. On another note.... When I used to do customer returns at Auto Ordnance West Hurley, we had a Thompson 1927 come in with a complaint that the rounds keep exploding over the magazine when fired. In that case, the owner unknowingly fired a squib load that lodged about 2/3rds of the way down the bore. THAT I can understand..... but I had a WTF moment after band sawing the barrel length wise, there were 12 bullets stacked up one behind the other. No wonder why I couldn't knock them out! That one simply got a new barrel and went back to the owner. Another one had only 2 or 3 rounds stuck in the barrel and that one cracked the barrel at the traffic jam over the last bullet. -

I think some of the magic a Marlin holds over a Winchester for me is the ease in taking the actions apart & reassembly. The Marlins practically fall apart in your hands while blind folded. The Winchester 94's practically need spot light lighting, pinch, pull, push technique all the while "come along little doggy" is playin in the back ground. Iv, been inside more than a few 94's but the Marlins are whats in my safe. All tho when it comes to the Win 1892, a smoother lever gun has yet to be conceived by the human mind... hands down! -
Well, after convincing my self I probably would never own one of these due to gun show sticker shock, a funny thing happened at the GB C&R listings. I bid the opening bid price and not a dollar more. Were all the Marlin fans out there asleep at their key boards? Apparently because I ended up with this fine example of what Marlin was making back in 1905. Sure, it doesn't have the much desired full crescent butt plate, the barrel joint was described as a bit loose and the poor thing has a bulge in the bore up front as so many do..... but still, the rest of the gun is totally unmolested in original fit and finish with a triple A fancy feathered crotch wood butt. At $575 + $46 to ship with insurance added, this nearly passes for a Religious experience! One major plus is the wood to metal fit. You guys have no idea how much it grinds my guts to see a stock that was sanded below the metal edge lines. Especially on a fine old early cartridge gun. The model 36 (pictured) I have came to me that way . After a thorough examination of the loose barrel shank, I have a plan to repair that and I have a older shutzen gun works .308 stainless barrel that will get turned into a liner and soldered into the 26 inch long octagon. Both of the square bolts are 30-30's & ya gotta love the 9 round capacity of the 1893. Yup, put another neat project on the back burner....

Back in the 90's I sold a 7 (308) to my brother as a dealer & mounted a 2x7 Burris on it for him. Back then they were every bit as nice as a BDL. It was Remington's way of bringing back the 600/660 Mohawk actions with out the dog handle bolt. In 308 the little gun will surly let you know its there. The heavy Burris made some head way on the recoil. Years latter he was offered a number he could not refuse for the set up. Back in those days the only issue I saw with the triggers was gummed up trigger lube except for one 700 that the sear angle was slightly negative contact causing slam fires. Latter on in the 2000's Rem really screwed the triggers up with a new casting with terrible pivot pin hole specs. I'v not worked on a newer Remington trigger in years. Hopefully they got their act together on them by now.

That has got to be the slickest stripper feed device on the planet. Thanks for posting.

^ I agree. Iv tuned numerous M70 triggers for folks back in my shop days and the design cant be beat. Simple, straight forward and can handle decades of in the field service with nothing more than a brushing and blow gun air if you felt the need to see bare metal there. The Rem 700 triggers used to be OK with detailed maintenance & proper lube & settings. Then they F***ed that all up with new cast triggers (2008?) with terrible pivot pin tolerance that made the triggers flat out unsafe at anything under a 6 lb pull. The foundation of a fine sporting rifle is what ties you to the shot...... the trigger. All other attributes fall in line after that.
