Is this something new or been this way?

Panama City, that's where we are going. I got married on the beach in St. Thomas. Getting married on the beach was great. Had a big party when we got home!

I just hope it flow towards the Atlantic. I have a condo rented in the gulf in July for a family vacation.

I drive 60,000+ miles a year and see that crap all the time. Even so, I get pissed seeing stupid stuff all the time and let it go best I can. It's best to keep in mind, there are nut jobs out there with nothing to lose.

I like they way they sound!!!

I would be up for that!

Thanks for sharing this!

I just noticed that on some Russian last time I shot. I only saw 1 out of 20 or so that did this.

Off Long Hollow Pike not far from New Shackle.

I have a spare sump sump if you need it. I'm in Hendersonville. Feel for ya, I have been there!

If you shop you can find the Russian for close to the same price. The overall feeling from "Mosinites" on the forums is the Russian is the best 7.62 x 54 milsurp.

I have done that as well when strangers are at my door. I walk around from the side of the house and ask if I can help them.

I wonder if he will take his "BS1" yacht out there? The one that's Bio D and solar powered. Not!

Can someone tell me what he does for a living again???

Ditto.

Might as well. They are going to find a way to get (tax or limit) some of that as well in the not to distant future.

The best show ever! No way a show like that would even get on the air today.............

OK, I want to play devil’s advocate here and ask a question: I don’t mean to ruffle any feathers, just asking. How many people here have actually had or seen a problem of a bent operating rod from high gas pressure on an M1 Garand, or is it something you have heard/read about? I have spent hours upon hours reading about this subject and the most interesting comment I found was from a source that said, (and I paraphrase): While using commercial ammo in place of the military M2 ammo, can potentially cause a bent operating rod problem, it’s very unlikely and only seldom happens in match grade rifles w/ very high pressure ammo and heavy rounds. Something to that effect. I sent James River an E-mail today and asked them about this. They confirmed what the manual said again, the rifle was designed for military ball; however, using 150g .30-06 “Springfield” would be fine. I have done this a lot w/ hot rod and race car stuff over the years. If I’m told, “this part only fits this” etc. and I find that if look at all the parameters carefully, measure 3X and try it, sometimes it works. Just curious if anyone has seen actual failures?

My James River Garand manual said any factory ammo labeled ".30-06" Springfield" less than 180 grains was OK.

That's good to know, thanks. I looked at the prices on Greek surplus. I just bought 200 rounds of new brass for roughly the same price shipped from AIM.

I have the AIM and it's redone by James River. It's a top notch as you can get!

But don't you have to be a member?

I just bought these En-bloc clips at CTD and they are the same ones that came w/ my James River Garand. Not a bad deal: MAG-246 - M1 Garand 8 Round En-Bloc Metal Clip Made in USA New Production Package of 5 Clips Best Quality

A little follow up. Here it was from a distance: Computer Part 1 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Pictures of said computer. There's a lot left in her!

Ditto, I used finer and finer grades of steel wool on one of my Mosin's and it turned out very nice!
