Very very nice rifle there Tower! Yours gets to stay "orange" with that nice a finish. What dealer did you go through and does he have any more? I may be turning into an old rifle collector instead of an AR enthusiast. Cheaper by far than building and getting ammo for the ARs!

I just fixed a friend at works MP-25 and it was scary to look at the guts at that thing! I would not trust any Lorcin's safety! I had to replace his broken firing pin. If you shoot the thing at all you will be replacing yours too so here is the link on where to buy them. Its a breeze to replace so maybe just buy one and carry it with you as well. Good luck, and upgrade soon! http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.asp?chrProductSKU=469100&MC=

Good idea, easy to accomplish, reckon I'm in!

Yall like that Mossy Oak model eh? So do I ! !

Almost finished. After final light sanding and smoothing with steel wool I stained it with minwax Provincial brown stain. Two coats of that and drying (watched the race while paint dryed) a quick coat of poly seal and this is the final result. Not as "orange" looking as it was with the varnish on it and the arsenal stamps came out nicely as well. The stock itself did not take the stain as deeply as the neck but overall I'm happy. I have a few more pieces of the metal parts to polish up on the stainless steel wheel on the grinder and I'll put her back together tomorrow. Pretty fun weekend project.

Boyds stock on mine as well! Seems to be a trend. I love the thumbhole stocks.

Bubba, she says Thankyou! (and then said at least someone noticed me today for more than holding a rifle stock up).

This rifle shoots very well! Recoil didn't hurt until this morning! I do have a bruise on the shoulder but have had worse with 300 magnums in the past. Will go a head and get a limb saver butt pad of some kind. So I get home, I know the rifle shoots where I point it. Didn't need a 2x4 to operate the bolt......time to make it look good. Last night I field stripped her, took the wood outside and stripped it using spray on shellac/varnish remover. Worked about 90%. I then washed it in warm water and then let it start to air dry. I then used a technique I don't know the name of, I'm sure carpenters or wood workers have a term for it but I use a knife, almost held at 90 degrees to the wood and then shave or scrape the thin layers of varnish and wood on the surface. It really got it down to wood only. Here it is after removal of varnish by knife and prior to putting the steel wool to it for final sanding. (modeled by the wife for me) Will apply stain after lunch and see what we get.

We are basically along the same line of thought then. I think the border should be sealed and all illegals deported or detained until willing to perform the actions neccessary to become a citizen. They should not be given any citizen benefits whatsoever! Bottom line is the government should provide defense of the nation, major infrastructure funding (interstates) and review of challenges to laws on a nation level (SCOTUS). Thats pretty much it. States should make the rest of the decisions more to the level of the citizen.

Clip, I know I'm probably going to start a crap storm here. I do not mean anything personal against your mom. We all have one and they are the special woman in our lifes unless we have wifes and then we just have two! Why do you think the government is supposed to take care of your mother? Understood that she worked for a company for 20 years but a company pays their employees weekly. Benefits are just that, benefits, not rights. What did she do to set aside funds to take care of herself later in life? What is her extended family doing to aid her. What did your father do? To me, thats who this type of stuff all falls to, the person and their family. That's why its called personal responsibility. There is no way the government can take care of the population, cradle to grave, as is expected now. There just is not enough money in the system and not enough paying in to support those receiving benefits to do this. Folks, you need to establish how you want to live after your unable to work. Purchase the insurance neccessary to take care of your family should you die early or unexpectedly. That way you took care of it and don't have to wait on a bloated bureaucracy with all the red tape to do so. Start saving so you won't have to depend on the gubment. Again, no malice to anyone experiencing the difficulties of living on a fixed income. I just hope that we regain a sense of taking care of our own family first in a smart financial way in the future.

Vanguards are the "entry" level for Weatherbys. They are very good rifles as stated above with very smooth yet strong actions. Be cautioned though....Vanguards lead to Mark Vs. I have a .300 Wby Mag on the Vanguard frame and a .340 Wby Mag on a Mark V with a stock I bought semi finished and did the final sanding and finishing with Tru Oil. I just love that gun. It will be one of two that go to my sons no matter what!

Good choice

+1 again for John Hollinger at White Oak tuning the trigger! You can ask Kahrman what kind of craftsmanship he does! He bought a .204 Ruger upper I had made by John and it was the best fitting upper hands down I have ever bought.

How much do you plan to use it or them? Get at least a 2.0 megapixel with IR and flash. I got my two a couple of seasons ago and they were under 200 bucks then, probably under a 100 for the basics now. Get them before the rush in September though. Look for deals at Cabelas online. I use the Moultrie game cams and they do really well. Uses a 9 volt lantern style battery which they make in rechargable. Also make sure you get one with an SD card port. I throw my laptop in my back pack and down load pics right there at the camera so I don't have to do much movement to it at all. You can spend up to 500 or 600 on the whiz bangs but these do all you need to see activity in your hunting areas. This one also imprints the date/time, temp and moon phase on the pictures. Example of some of my pics here.

Heck yeah, I could care less about your politics but you live in stinking H'ville ! Can't forgive that man... Former Gallatin High School grad. Hendersonville and Gallatin were huge rivals in the 70's and 80's before the TSAAA revised the districts.

I have always loved that quote attributed to J C Watts Saints! I thought it was around before he got any public notice though. Now there is a black man I would vote for in a heartbeat for any office!

I urinated loooong before I turned on the lap top. Besides, its not snowing so who knows who won?

To bad the word "shun" has fallen out of favor. Weird how I kind of threw down a diatribe on this exact subject in the "I'm voting Democrat" thread and then this story pops. That and my news ticker at work threw another nice story on mo's getting married somewhere. I'm just thrilled.

Bubba, get a TV and it will become clear. The homosexual movement is FORCED on us daily. We have to hear it over and over again on how they are repressed, we need to bring more awareness, we need to be more tolerant. The very name homosexual denotes whats going on. Explain it to your 10 year old when he asks what it is. Its not religous at all. I didn't mention religon. You don't know what religon, if any I am. I don't have to believe in a deity to know that stuff isn't normal. Human beings are designed physically to interact in one way, male to female. Its physical science not religon. I can't stop them from smoking dope, choking themselves, eating gumdrops or anything else but when they get on national TV, in the newspapers and at the courthouse making demands then it bothers me....its in my house then. As far as the "millions" of children, back up that number with a stat from a reputable source. Worldwide, maybe. I would say in America there are probably hundreds of thousands of single parent or at least an adult in a home with children but that goes back to my original premise....you should be responsible when you decide to perform the act of creation...you just might do it! That is powerful stuff and we treat it like a can of corn...do it without regard to that human that will come of it. I for one have three children, all planned. I am now unable to have any more as I did not want to take on the planning logistically or financially to have an accident. I call that responsible. As far as the rest, well I do have some religon and I give what I can to support outreach movements like Lottie Moon and others the leaders of my church deem fit. My sister in law returned from China last fall with a baby that could have been left in the cold to die since she was female. When I was growing up we brought in and adopted my cousin whose parents were killed in an auto accident. Yeah, I care about kids. The ones here now are under the umbrella of our systems, as inept as they are and they are at risk to be enemies of our nation as crimnals but what I am trying to do is show the root cause of the issue, uncaring, lazy adults that had nothing more in the planning of those children than to get it on then run. I consider good conservative politics the kind that get to the bottom of these issues...making people responsible for their actions. Simple statement but far reaching. I have to get a license to ride my motorcycle but before I was snipped I could have fathered a 1000 kids (see the NBA and NFL) with no more repurcussion than some woman would be making the statement "the father of my babies". I hate that term. How insane is it that our society allows that!?

Still haven't seen any data or proof on why anyone is a democrat. Len, you support social and labor issues?? Care to name them. I support anti-dem social issues. Pro life, keep your wick dry and legs closed, both male and female are responsible, not a clinic. The life lines of welfare should be made available only after certification that the person cannot support themselves. They should be warned that since they are on welfare they are not to raise a family until practical financial issues are taken care of (get married where the support network of a family takes place). If on welfare, pay it back with community service. You don't need a degree or skill to clean your neigborhood. I could go on but I think you see my point. Personal responsibility is a social virture. Labor? Market will determine a price. Competition is good. People will pay for a good product competitively priced. Jobs moving away is a fact of any developed nation. You should not get paid 28 dollars an hour to hit a bolt once every 60 seconds with a powered nut driver, its not a good return on investment dollar. Unions are a thing of the past. Not needed with the plethora of lawyers ready to take up your cause. Work hard, earn your money, keep learning, strive to make it better at work and home. Practice the religon of your choice. If you choose to live alternative lifestyles, do so at home. I don't need to know your a mo, les, goat boy...whatever. There will always be deviants, we just don't need them "normalized". I haven't told you all what I did in my bedroom last night and won't tell you tomorrow, they shouldn't either. I could go on but you see where I come from...its how I roll:)

That would be curlymaple42. He does great work! I had him make me two backings for european deer head mounts and they look great. One was walnut and the other a light maple. Be warned though, 458socomforums is under attack right now by a superhacker and the site is full of porn links. The owner changed web designers and thinks the old one is either helping the hacker or is the hacker using a back door. If anyone is interested I have Curlymaples email address. He makes solid wood AR stocks or veneers that will fit the ACE skeleton stocks. I would post a link but the site is so hard to navigate right now until the webguru cleans it up I don't want to try.

Is there anyone in this forum that is a dem and feels they can back it up? If so feel to start a thread so we don't hijack this one any further. A good debate on why anyone, much less a gun owner would vote liberal would be good. No "feelings" please. We all have those...just some facts for civil discussion please.

I like the one of some guy shooting a traffic barrel at point blank range! What's up wid dat? (I kid, its obviously some self defense course and we all know the stopping power of plastic barrels) All kidding aside, I like it Tungsten. I'm also glad I do NOT upload via your site. I see me in the mirror once a morning and that is more than enough.

To heck with Hollywood, just watch COPS sometimes. There is one that is on the commercials for the show where a black officer is looking up a stairwell with an automatic about 3 inches in front of his right eye! I saw the aftermatch of a National Guard soldier who was being "familiarized" with the 1911 do this same thing. Looked like he had taken a shot from a professional boxer right under the eye! You can't fix stupid!

There's days when I wish they would invent a pill to keep em little forever, then theres the other days when I wish they had a pill that would make them 18-21, give em a job and a place to live on their own. I could force feed them either depending on the day! So what's having a daughter like anyway Bill? I wouldn't know. Three boys! (the one in blue is my nephew, yeah, all he had was boys as well)
