Better is a definition left up to the individual. What is better to me my not be better to another. Kind of like morals. And we all know those who carry 1911's have good morals Dolomite

Steady there Dolomite

I would quit using Remoil. It is more of a cutting oil than a protectant. I think Remoil is actually cutting down you other oil's ability to stay place and protect. I will wipe down my guns with a 50/50 mix of sythetic 30 weight and ATF. It seems to coat well and doesn't evaporate like a lot of other "protectants". I will wipe it down with a heavy coat then I wipe off the excess of with a paper towel. It isn't thick enough to use for lubrication on wear surfaces, that is what grease is for. And if I want a lubricant that also cleans/suspends crud I use the same formula except I add a little bit of fuel injector treatment to the mix. I don't really pay attention to how much fuel injector cleaner I add but enough to thin it a little. I know I can take a rimfire AR that is malfunctioning, add a drop of this to each rail and it goes back to 100% reliable. And for those of you who wonder what I use to mix or apply these formulas. I go to the Co-op and buy syringes with the needles attached. They are the ones that are about 1/2"-3/4" in diameter and have a needle. I will grind the needle until it is dull so I don't accidentally "inject" myself. The I suck up the synthetic oil until the syringe is 1/2 full then finish it off with the ATF. The syringes are under $1 each and are very useful. The needles also make reaching those hard to reach areas you want to protect easier. Anybody who has seen me clean my guns knows I pull out a syringe filled with a red liquid. Dolomite

Ok guys let me be crystal clear here. I wear the pants in the family, she is not in charge and I make the decisions. Hopefully she approves of that above statement as I only have 2 thumbs, well one now. Dolomite

It was the shooter. He placed the equipment outside of the exit door. He either received a call or pretended to receive a call then exited the side door. A few minutes later he entered the theater again and began shooting. He did have a ticket for the movie in his possession as well. Dolomite

Let me rephrase. Those legal to own weapons can own body armor. Dolomite

It is perfectly legal to have body armor. As a matter of fact ANYONE can buy a brand new 3A vest for $200. Every pawn shop outside of every military base sells Kevlar helmets for CHEAP. Or you can go online and buy them. An AK, 870 and a couple of Glocks are not hard to come by. Most of us here own more than that. Dolomite

Although not a S&W, my 22 AR gets shot 100x more often than anything else I own. It is also the most decked out AR I have. It will be one of the last to go. Dolomite

That is why I like the Berkey. The black filters, which are standard, exceed the standards for virus removal. Even a single black filter will outlast most people. A dangle filter is rated for 3,000 gallons and can be cleaned and renewed at least 100 times. That gives you 300,000 gallons or over 250 years if you filter 3 gallons a day. Even with dirty or turbid water it should last years. Dolomite

If an aluminum frame will handle it then a cast steel frame will. Dolomite

If there is something good at least the shooter is in custody. I was so afraid he turned the gun on himself. Reports are that the shooter was throwing explosives into the crowd right before he opened fire. He had a gas mask, wore a bulletproof best and was prepared. My hope is the shooter is not American. At least us gun owners can point a finger and say he isn't part of us. If not the antis are going to lump the shooter in with the rest of us. Dolomite

And before you ask this is how you check if it is loaded or not. Take a rod and mark the distance from where the nipple goes into the barrel to the muzzle. There may be a stand off but mark to that. Now take the rod and stick it into the bore. If it doesn't hide the mark then it IS loaded. If it hides the mark then it probably is NOT loaded. Dolomite

With a suppressed gun you get A LOT of crud coming back at you. It is very dirty and will thorugh stuff a long way. After I have shot a few hundred suppressed 22's my face is black. Dolomite

If you really want to save you need to cast your own bullets. It doesn't take long to make a big pile of bullets. I now cast everything I shoot, thanks to Caster. Because I cast, my 9mm costs me under .04 each and 45 ACP costs me under .05 each. And that is with expensive primers and not very miserly powder. I could use less expensive components and drop those costs by over .01 each. A lot of people tune into the idea when they hear me say I can load 45 ACP for under $40/1,000. And those rounds shoot better than any budget ammo you can buy. I am getting ready to load 300 BLK for about .10 a round as well. Dolomite

Not a suppressed 22, that is a suppressed 9mm. It is a H&K MP5SD. If there was one gun I WOULD wear eye protection with it would be any suppressed weapon. And yes, they are that quiet. Here I am shooting one of ours overseas. Dolomite

Ok, didn't realize it was 10mm. Nice gun for sure. Dolomite

Go with the longest barrel you can to take advantage of the heavy bullets and 7 twist. I think you would be better suited with an 8 twist than a 7 twist. 8 Twist will shoot everything you can feed from the magazine, including the 77's. It can also shoot lightweight varmint and target bullets. 7 twist on the other hand cannot shoot some of the lightweight varmint bullet or some target bullets. I know a 53 grain SMK will come apart at about 3,300 fps in a 7 twist gun. And I am pushing those well beyond that in a 20" AR. 40 grain V-Max bullets come apart in my 7 twist at 3,300-3,400 fps. But if you know you will never shoot anything under 55 grain then by all means get a 7 twist but a 8 twist will be better. Dolomite

The picture makes sense now. I do have a question though. Is the recoil spring 22 pounds? If so that is the heaviest recoil spring I have ever heard of. Most recoild springs run 15-18 pounds. 22 pounds makes more sense as a mainspring. Most Mainsprings are in that range. I have used 18.5 pound springs but have found that the recoil tends to get a bit harsher when I do. I now run ~16 pound springs and a 20 pound mainspring. The 20 pound spring helps with the trigger pull and I used a squared firing pin retainer to offset the lower mainspring pressure. Looks like a great pistol and I am sure it will shoot great.

Get one of the Berkey filters. They are considered the best standard filter. The Sport is reasonably priced but the Go Berkey will last a lifetime if not longer. We bought a Big Berkey earlier this year and it is the best money we have ever spent. ANd it is still small enough to be able to take it with us. Dolomite

And if you break down the dihydrogen monoxide down to basic components it will burn. So you can also have a means to start a fire handy. Dolomite

The damage is indicitive of nothing more than a hand grenade. Hardly sheared off the front like they reported. And because it is likely a handgrenade the UN may not have been the targets. It could have been an opposing faction to those who live in that area. Knowing the locals would congregate around the vehicle they knew a handgrenade would get a few of their enemies. I know I have seen it in a few different countries. When I was in Bosnia we would get reports of people throwing handgrenades into groups of people of other factions or religions. Just random stuff that often involved women and children. Dolomite

As much of a BS scheme it is at least they are doing something for our money. I know I would love for our welfare recipients to dig holes and fill them back in for a check. If you were to require the recipients to show up 3 times a week and dig 3 holes in order to get a check the welfare roles would shrink. Dolomite

Even if a retailer does not have a physical location within the state you, the purchaser, are still required to pay a tax on that purchase. ALL purchases, in state or out of state, have a tax burden that must be paid to the state. The tax is called a "use" tax and is the same rate as our sales tax. What is supposed to happen is you mail your "use" tax into the state. The "use" tax has been in place long before the internet. It was enacted in 1947 along with the state sales tax. If Tennessee sales tax is added to the purchase price, use tax is not owed. However, if merchandise is bought through the internet, over the telephone, from mail-order catalogs, etc., and sales tax is not added to the price, the purchaser is responsible for paying use tax directly to the Department of Revenue. Also, Tennessee residents who travel outside the state and purchase untaxed merchandise that is shipped to their homes in Tennessee are liable for use tax. So even if you do not see a sales tax on your internet or out of state order you are still required to pay a tax on the purchase. Dolomite

Welcome to the board. I'll assume that because you came from Lejune you are a Marine. If you are thank you for your service to our country. Also, I know the Marines are pretty good shots but taking your 10/22 to 600 yards is pretty optimistic Dolomite

It just looks like there is a lot of polish marks on the slide. Like they used a polishing wheel on a dremel or something like that. When I polish I move the slide back and forth on the sandpaper on a very flat surface. It keeps the sanding and polishing marks in a more uniform pattern. Looks good though. Dolomite
