so, i see a business opportunity here... if a guy sends you his conversion with return postage paid, what would you charge a man to perform the same surgery on his? just curious.

"that guy looks like a wierdo... go get my gun"... i don't have a lot of solicitors any more. seriously though, this is important stuff...

Awesome You guys rock. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Greetings... so last year i purchased 1k of primered cases, powder and bullets... ended up going out of the country and didn't get to reload them as planned. my question is: how long will these cases w/ primers in them be viable for reloading? and if it's not long, how can i store them in a manner that will extend shelf life? sealed bucket w/ nitrogen/oxygen absorbers?? the powder is still in the sealed container, same question for the powder... likewise, i would assume that even once loaded, this stuff is only good for so long as reloads... thoughts??? thanks guys for your help...

howd did it go!?!? It kills me that i work basically every weekend... I fully intend to take this class... and the AK class. Chattanooga is lucky to have this, and i suspect it is hardly utlilized... I have to submit for time off about by the first of the month for the following month, so if you guys are able to plan out just a hair more, like 8 weeks out, my odds go up... i'd love to hear any feedback from the class...

the hornady critical defense round in .380 has impressive penetration (10 inches) and is a highly consistent round with consistent opening characteristics in ballistic gel. This is the first .380 round i've personally considered a legitimate personal defense round. worth a look....

the DSarms upper is a deal.... have one... very happy with the apparent quality and finish... DSA ZM4 Forged 7075T6 A3 AR15 Upper Receiver - DSZM4CBU-D S Arms 275.00 is a deal.

spikes dedicated upper. awesome.

Buy love this gun. mine, oddly, is not picky and will shoot anything. had the colt, POS. sold it fast. SW is super simple, easy to clean and very accurate, mine is anyway. would definitely buy again.

same here. sent a request, they sent me the parts immediately. free of charge.

totally agree with this. have both. love both. i'm 5'10, 200 lbs. disappears under a t shirt. very comfortable as well.

awesome. Carry on Sir.

interesting thread. have several Kahrs, no Keltecs. Agree generally with most above posters. my experience: Any polish that you give it that give you peace of mind is fine. A dremel with a felt tip or wheel will not hurt it. Flitz is good stuff. Agree with polishing the ramp the direction of travel with your very fine paper and by hand. Final polish with Flitz and the felt bullet tip will put a supremely slick mirror finish on, no matter what direction you polish. no meaninful metal is removed with this combination, only finishes the work you have done and brings the ramp/barrel to a super slippery shine. BUT whether you polish or not, true peace of mind will come from only one thing: range time. run the gun. 200-300 rounds before you bet your life on it. and you must run it at least a mag or two with the round you intend to carry. in my Kahrs, for example, the feed ramps are steep. they will run all day long with ball ammo, but get a little picky with certain HP (some, not all) Oddly enough one hates Hydroshock, one loves it. they all run great with Hornady Critical Defense, which is my carry of choice in 9mm. YMMV. so, before you trust it with your life, be sure it's happy with the round you have chosen. shoot it and let it become an extension of you. THAT is peace of mind. Keep us posted!!!!

Dude, sorry. I opened up some space... sorry about that. all work and no play... talk soon~

This: 5.11 Tactical 36" Gun Case (MP4) + FREE SHIPPING, 5.11 new items, 5.11 tactical screaming good case and a great deal. I have an eagle also, and it's a great choice as well.

HI. I have the MOACKS. works perfectly every time. I'm happy to stake yours. i stake for everyone around here for $5. this includes checking torque specs before staking using a precision inch/pounds torque wrench. if undertorqued, I will torque to Mil Spec or whatever spec you prefer. I would drop in in the mail back to you the same day it arrives. If you are interested I can send you pics of stake work i've done, but it looks like it's supposed to. I'm in Chattanooga area. Safely wrapped in bubble wrap and mailed in the $5 USPS mailer might work, or their mailing tube? let me know if interested. crash~

Question for Cypher235: when the officer disarmed you, did he ask you to remove the pistol hand it to him or did he remove the pistol? exactly how did this "transaction" take place... just curious...

so, again, i read this thread, like all the others, with interest. Why even use the word GUN!?!?!? pull over. windows down interior lights on hands on the wheel be polite Yes Officer, my wallet is in my (blank). is it ok for me to retrieve it. (wait for response) OPTIONAL: I am licensed to carry concealed or i have a concealed carry permit and I am carrying... what are your instructions. relax put DL back in wallet and thank nice officer for his grace in not writing you a ticket. i've been stopped so many times... i've tried it both ways. i nearly always deserve to be pulled over and i am not a dick about it. so far, i am the recipient of tons of grace as my job tends to keep me in a hurry.

try Slip2000 products... SLiP2000â„¢ - Official Site amazing stuff. don't know the formula and all that, but my experience is very positive. DOD seems to like it as well and they have a contract with the DOD. There are so many good products out there indeed. this one is somewhat unique in that it is non petrolium based. it DOES NOT cook off... being the skeptic that i am, i repeated the test they refer to in their website. SLiP2000â„¢ - Testimonials My experience was identical to theirs: after running identical guns hard and hot and putting up dirty, after 90 days, the CLP gun was inoperable (100%locked up) and had to be disassembled (rammed open and surfaces were rusted from no protection) the SLIP2000 EWL gun opened, and ran flawlessly and wiped clean. I repeated this side by side test with numerous other top o the line lubes (i did not use any non-gun products however, but think it would be interesting... HEY! somebody do this... i don't have time right now) round count, ROF, and ammo manufacturer were identical in every test. I also tested the same batch of lubes for saltwater corrosion protection on standard high carbon cold rolled steel stock. the steel was stripped and then each oil applied to a test area. the steel was misted with a typical seawater salt solution and allowed to air dry. the stock was placed in a covered area, outside for exposure to ambient temp and humidity (30 day test averages: 73 degrees F, and 85% humidity) for thirty days (summer in the southeast!) Rust appeared on all product test zones. SLIP2000 EWL had the least and was the easiest to wipe off. Others faired well. Many of the hotshot products did not. WD40 sucked. This test was not a test of anything except corrosion resistence. no heat was applied to the test plate. nor did this test account for the age of each product since produced. each one was simply pulled off the shelf. I did not photograph the test and all my notes are somewhere packed after the move... if i find them i'll post them. if not, maybe i can repeat it sometime. i've tried a ton of different lubes, and i'm sure there is an absolute "best" or one that excells in the important areas, but until i or someone can objectively test them all for a multitude of virtues including durability/lubricity/corrosion resistance/thermal stability/etc..., opinion and personal experience is all any of us have. I find the friction test posted earlier interesting: Gun Oil Tests and while the test was performed nearly 10 years ago, it proves that in a wet state, WD40 was the slickest as evidenced by having the lowest angle of elevation for it to move on the test track (15 deg.) Meaningful to the gun owner?? not really. i still wouldn't use it on a firearm. all of this is fascinating stuff and this entire discourse is, of course, just my experience, and my humble opinion... I'm very interested in what others have done to test products. Seat of the pants is cool, and the proof in the pudding works too, but objective testing with control groups in place is most interesting to me... crash~

Sweet. thanks for the post. are you located in the United States? the CRKT MT is a great blade... thinkin i need another.

have the S&W AR15-22. love it. it allows me to shoot while my kids shoot and train on the cheep. very accurate, "Match" barrel, and seems to eat everything i feed it. and i'm cheep. if it was just me and the kids didn't love it so much, i'd probably go in this order of preference: Spikes dedicated upper Spikes .22 bolt conversion S&W AR 15-22

Adamoxtwo: Hey, thanks so much for the PM, and writing back... I tried to send you a PM, but it keeps kicking it back. sorry. so i don't tie up a great thing, i hope its ok to write you here. I totally understand the points you mentioned, and appreciate your gracious offer. that said, I will pass. (feel free to write me if you'd like the details) Understand, i'm a CCW holder and work for the govt.

Thanks for writing back... sincerely, crash~
