YAHOO!! ... wait a minute....

If you look up the specs, 7.62 NATO and .308 WIN are different in pressure, headspace, and case geometry. Whether the spec differences are real and significant is the subject of great debate. Specifically considering a semi-auto battle rifle that's stamped .308 on the side.... I'd have no issue running 7.62 NATO stamped ammo in it. I would not do the converse. Oh, and $1000 for a PTR? The price sure has gone up a lot from what I recall. I really should've bought that one...

YAY! What'd I win?

Winner!

Yep, it can get way too complicated for my simple mind. That's the main reason why I think its important for small bets. Those who enjoy that sort of thing can do it. Those who don't really care (like me) don't have to worry about it. It's not enough money to get bent over. If it's correctly handicapped, it shouldn't matter anyway. If you play well, you win. If not, you lose. You already know the answer to that before the scores are tallied.

Ah. My guess was holding it for skinning. I think what Caster's after is something like this, colonial era meat skewers...

He was very easy to deal with and has been doing them for a long time. I put the trigger group, the form, and $65 in the box. About 6 weeks later, it came back and I snapped it back in. I posted a review on here a while back, but I laughingly called the OE trigger on my yugo a "2 breath trigger"..... It took so long and so much effort to pull it, I had to stop and take breath in the middle. When it got it back from Kivaari, it was a very nice 2-stage trigger. Stage 1 is nearly zero effort, stage 2 is about 5 lbs, crisp, with minimal over-travel. Between the trigger and the sights, it cut my group sizes in half. And just for being thorough.... technically the model rifle you have listed is a 59/66A1. The 59/66 doesn't have the night sights, the 59/66A1 does.

If you want your dog to smell like skunky tomato juice, sure. We tried that first. The baking soda/peroxide mix took care of both smells. I believe we had to do it twice as well.... just like Hozzie said.

I'd trade it. I have no use for safe queens. Having never shot a high-end 1911, I'd want to decide for myself if they're really all that. If so, great. If not, sell/trade it for something else on the list.

A friend had one for a while. Fun to shoot. Heavy, like any non AR 7.62 NATO battle rifle, but not objectionable. Wish I'd bought it when he sold it.

Ditto. It's a place to get touchy-feely with stuff so I can know what size to order online.

Bought a chest freezer, partially filled it with stuff from the grocery store, put my name on the list for a side of beef when they got to slaughter next spring. I'd hoped to be able to freeze lots of veggies from my garden, but yield has been quite low this year. Looks like a batch or two of salsa is all I'll get.

I found this site which tells you who all the candidate are.... http://www.politics1.com/tn.htm And I agree, this guy seems to be the best option.

Been there, gagged on that. We found that a baking soda and peroxide mix killed the smell pretty well. It did bleach the dog's fur out for a while (she's black).

Seems they make a special one just for that.... http://www.midwayusa...e-button-rubber Review: http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/non-xd-handguns/190217-new-hogue-grip-hybrid-sleeve-specifically-made-ruger-lcp-review-pics.html

.... like I said, it's confusing.

What they said. My P3AT is similar. Stripping the first round off a full mag can be a little sticky. Pull the slide all the way back and let 'er slam home. Even then, a little nudge may be necessary. I've never had it fail to chamber one during firing. It's not fun to shoot, it has a singular purpose. I practice drawing it more than shooting it. The Hogue Handall Jr. is must have. It makes a huge difference. You'll need to cut it down a tad so it'll fit properly. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1151280749/hogue-handall-junior-universal-slip-on-grip-sleeve-rubber

Welcome!

Forgive my ignorance.... what does one do with a squirrel fork? I have a guess, but I've honestly never heard of such a thing.

I can say with 100% certainty, I've never had that good of a vacation!

Exceptionally cool.

Basically this. I'd call 911 and put the phone on speaker so everything gets recorded. I've got a wife and kids, but I couldn't just stand by and watch someone be murdered. If something baseball bat-ish was handy, I might just whack the guy. If not, and I was armed...

Sounds like a good group. Dad and his buddies did a similar thing for a long time... $5 low-ball or points with $1 birdies. I'd play with them occasionally when I was in town. It was fun and enough $ to keep you interested but no so much that anyone took it too seriously.

As usual, far too many unanswered questions to reach any conclusions.
