  1. Is the handguard screw on a Saiga-12 a 5mmx.8? I need to get a tap to chase the threads on my gas block.

  2. Thinking of getting a Vepr .308 to make into a DMR type rifle.

  3. Ordered my 20" 5.56 upper yesterday afternoon with UPS ground shipping and it already came in, can't argue with that!

      DPMS A3 flat top upper to go with my A2 style lower. Going to go a little out there and put laminate hardwood furniture on it to have something a bit different next week.

      I've been looking at the Super Redhawk Alaskan. It looks so bad ass.

      The .454 looks really fun, go out after dark and watch the fireballs lol.

  5. Wants to add an M1A to the collection when tax season comes up.. Now to choose which one I want most!

  6. The nice man in the big brown truck came by and brought me my M1895 Nagant, sweet lookin little revolver! Now for the long evening of scraping cosmoline from it..

      Clean cosmo off a revolver?

      Easy, toss in a pot and boil it.

      No really, I'm serious.

      Indeed, but no cosmo on the revolver.

  7. Just spent the better part of three hours looking for the recoil spring plug for my 1911, those things know how to hide!

      It was a 'nice' Garand, perhaps worth 800-900, not worth 1.3K.

      I really just need to save up and drive up to CMP in Anniston, AL and pick one out, for 600-800. I can get a VERY nice Garand.

      Haven't looked much into the CMP firearms, my CCL instructor has a nice Garand he got from there.

  11. Got all the parts ordered for my M&P 15 in an OD treatment, pics to follow when they come in.

  12. Hoping to make it out to the gun shop this weekend and grab the Stag model 3 they have up there.

  13. Not sure why, but I kinda want to get a derringer..

      Go with the 45lc/.410!

      My .38 is fun to shoot, as long as you have a big enough target area lol. .410 would be pretty fun too.

    4. echoside190

      echoside190

      The 410/45lc looks fun as hell.. The 410/45lv/45-70 looks fun but I'm pretty sure I'd only shoot the .45-70 one time lol..

       

  14. anything over 3.2 beer has been banned here in the states, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

  15. I think I hear wedding bells.

  16. I think it's about time to get the old Ithaca 37 20 gauge out of the back of the safe and get it working again.. The stock is in about 3 pieces, the bluing is almost gone and the bead sight is missing, lets see what I can do to make a good little hunting gun out of it.

      So far the stock seems the hardest to track down.. Other than that parts look easy to find or make. Functionally the gun looks to be in good shape it just needs the love and some money put into it. Tracked the serial back to a late spring or early summer 1952 production.

      post some pictures of the stock. Someone may have a suggestion on how to repair it.

    4. echoside190

      echoside190

      Will do, my options right now are repairing the split in it or buying one from numrich or Ithaca direct. They run about $125 but fixing the old stock would at least let me put rounds through it again until I replaced it.

  17. Pretty gnarly storm last night, power went out everywhere for a few hours and the north side of town looks like hell with all the limbs and trees down.. Our local Lowes even learned a valuable lesson with keeping their model sheds tied down..

      It died at my place around midnight, not sure when it came back on.. North Topeka around hwy 24 got beat pretty well and there were a lot of large trees down.

      Limbs... basketball goals... etc are blown all over my little section of Topeka, as for my house, we lost a tiny limb in the backyard, however it was neat to see ones trees bend in directions they normally shouldn't and not break lol.

    4. echoside190

      echoside190

      Same, the sycamore trees in my yard lost like 2 limbs in 70mph winds but if you kick it wrong the branches fall off.. lol

  18. Loaded model M1A, PAnther or RRA AR-10, or a R700 or Savage 10fp... Decisions decisions..

      R700 hands down, a close runner up is the Savage though.

      FWIW- I love my LR-308 AP4. It's like an M4 on 'roids. Put 100 rounds down range flawlessly first time at the range.

    4. echoside190

      echoside190

      Yeah, it's honestly a toss up between the M1A and the Ar platform .308 right now, I want to make somewhat of an M21 style rifle or a SASS clone. Both would be sweet but how much money can I honestly throw at one rifle.. A R700 of 10FP is on the list next because I need a new modern bolt gun..

  19. Awkward moment.. Just bought a claymore lol.

      Sword shop.. If I could get ahold of a legal modern day claymore I would, I just indulged my inner nerd with a battle ready Scottish claymore.
