Accidental discharge today!
Smiley_Guy replied to chevyman097's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I absolutely agree with the last 2 posts. The trigger mechanism could be gunked up w/ cosomolene. You can heat the stock in the oven or with near boiling water to help get it all out (then dry thoroughly). If you have mis-matched receiver and bolt numbers there may be mechanical interference between the sear and the firing pin not allowing the sear to rise fully. This can be crazy dangerous even if it doesn't fire as soon as closed. A good sneeze or bump could set it off. Be careful. -

That right there will mess up an entire afternoon at the range. I hope he was using a chronometer. I wanna see the numbers! -
7.62x39 lethality ?
Smiley_Guy replied to waynebar's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
At the time (1899) high velocity powders (cordite) and jacketed bullets were just coming into wide use. While mini-balls before that time often deformed on penetration their velocity was so low as to have little shock effect on the wound channel. Consider that the 303 British was introduced in the 1880s (IIRC) and the 7.62X54R was of course used in the 1891 Mosin Nagant. Before Hague the British at least were using hollow points and cordite in their empire with devastating effect. I imagine people were horrified at the nature of the wounds but it is more the ever increasing projectile ve -

[guote] Is it so horrible to ID people as they exit the show? Dude, are you kidding? can you picture asking gun show people to show ID and do a background check to even get in a show? No way. No part of that is constitutional. You have rights, you know. The government does not have the right to just walk up to you and say "papers, please" to see if you are worthy to own a gun.

Well, interesting. I just bought a PT100 at the Fort Worth show (private sale). Sweet deal. I gotta say, if the place is overrun with illegals and felons buying stuff to take to Mexico etc., well it is reasonably within the police authority to restrict a public nuisance. They could ban the shows altogether if they wanted, just as they can say you can't have a strip club in a mall. They aren't banning private sales, just private sales At this location/event. It is also certainly within the lessor's right just as a restaurant can ban you from selling hot dogs to their customers on their pre

Home Defense...

Guys, you misunderstand. I was referring to the neighbors, bystanders, and innocents in you house hypothetically injured by using a rifle in a suburb. Of course the perp is toast. There was a story in the paper here some time back of a kid discharging dad's .270 in the house. That soft tip went through 3 neighboring houses. -

US, 357s are just to big to carry concealed all the time, for me anyway. Indy, it's not a cop but a grand jury you might have to explain that to. Next is the relatives and their lawyers. -

I have a CHL and regularly carry. The .38 can peek around corners better than any long gun. I practice regularly and I'm accurate. The number one determiner is whether you hit what you shoot at. A miss with a cannon is still a miss. ----- I like the 1911 but it's just too big to carry around (at least where I live). The .45 is a "Stop 'em cold" round. I've been toying with the idea of getting a .44 magnum for 'around the house.' ----- Home invasion may be bigger where you are than where I live but we see far more straight up B&E. Still, a gun by the door doesn't help if the bad -

Alarm system, S&W .38 Airweight, Flashlight, Telephone. All the heavy stuff is locked up. An AK or .308 overpenetrates WAY too much to use in a house. I don't understand you guys leaving guns all over the house. Burglers usually try to break in when your Not there. Cash, guns, and drugs is what they're looking for. When the steal your gun you not only lost it but you armed a criminal. -
I will SO pay retail for some of this vaporware. When it actually exists. Don't need followers or springs.

What does your screenname mean?
Smiley_Guy replied to BobAsh's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Well, I gotta say... Tok, you caught me off guard. Here I had a certain picture of each of the board members in my internal eye, and, well... Huge Respect to you, girl! My girlfriend, I'm making her a pink "Hello Kitty" folding stock AK-74 for X-mas. A LOT of people don't get that. Bet you do. I hope I can get her in the whole "Catholic school girl" get-up with pigtails and everything and take her to the range. Things aren't always what they seem, but people are who they are.

Arguing with Idiots-
Smiley_Guy replied to Griz's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Despite MT's admonition I must add (in passing) Karl Marx wrote Das Kapital in 1867, while the ghost of Lincoln was still looking for the top of his head. Long before the advent of the 40 hour week, minimum wage, social security, and the other benefits you think are your "rights," and he was known in Sam Clement's time. Mark Twain died in 1910. Years before the advent of Communism. He went bankrupt through bad investments, but broke even through a worldwide lecture tour and died out of debt. I know, I Know, too much information.... -Griz -

I appreciate your reasond response, misspelled and ill reasoned as it is. The diesel generators are already up and running and food is arriving, they just don't have any place to store it. It's loud mouth know-it-all faggots like you that would rather bitch than do something helpful that make me so Proud to be an American. -

GOB- fer god's sake don't try logic here. We all know it was nobody's fault... wait... maybe it was Clinton's fault, but nobody else's ;-) Pistonhead. go ahead, drive it. Just rent a copy of "Road Warrior" and don't worry about it. The 2nd amendment sez you don't gotta drive no sissy honda. Monkey, did it ever occur to you that only the bad people get on TV? It's a lot easier to take compelling pictures of looters and armed men then of women and children slowly starving and dehydrating. When you see those poor people showing up in town with no home, job, car... remember to blame
