  1. My upper came in today. This thing is nice. The mags are on the way so I can't fire the thing just yet. Came with an extra piston for US made ammo and handloads, piston already installed is for imported steel cased ammo. Pics coming soon. :)

      I'm betting it does but they're like a virgin who hasn't even looked at hardcore porn and don't know what the hell they're doing. I've seen the AMD, the foreward cant toward the muzzle is there for a reason. :)

      i actually use it as a guide for inserting 30s and 40s and it works pretty well, foreward cant isnt very confortable and you cant put your hand on the metal handguard because im sure it gets hot as hell, i can barely hold my vz58 handguards after a few mags

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      That's what I do with the vert grip on my S12. You WANT the bottom of the mag to tap the grip. It has actually sped up my mag changes instead of slowing it down.

  2. Freakin righteousness. :) My ASC mags came in today. They all drop free, all lock in. Can't wait to take pics, this thing already looks great. Waiting on the rear sight, then it's time to zero it.

      Wow, sounds like the bill for my .460 Magnum. Asswipes always buy up the cheap stuff and then it's ages till you ever see any of it again.

    3. Fallschirmjager667

      Fallschirmjager667

      $85 for a box of 20 is for the "cheap" hornady, dont even think about barnes, and federal is absolutely nuts at like $160 a box

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      Yeah that's crazy...

  3. I got my TWS rear sight but problem is, it's real loose.

      well, if someone was giving out free guns and i had a choice betweek a saiga and a $120,000 h&h 577 nitro express, i'd take the h&h, you know i love detached retinas anyway

    3. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      lol Yeah you're one of those exotic magnum cartridge freaks :) Can't say I blame you but for those I'd just say pass the bolt actions. :)

    4. Fallschirmjager667

      Fallschirmjager667

      i actually looked into having my ruger no1 converted to 577 nitro, it will cost like $2000, still the cheapest 577 out there

  4. Bought a Henry AR-7 today. :) I think I'm prolly gonna like this thing. :)

      It's on my list. Sweet buy shadowfire!

    3. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      Thanks. Found a way to open the magwell up on it, screw on the left side of the receiver. I also noticed it helps the bolt move easier too. Can't wait to shoot it.

    4. gregomega

      gregomega

      let us know how you like it. Happy shooting

      Yeah that's a big fat never on my end. I am really blessed to have the collection I have.

    3. Fallschirmjager667

      Fallschirmjager667

      yea, i just got a few new .22s so i could affford to shoot more, once i get my 1911 i'll probably get a .22 conversion for it

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      Yeah I bought me and my old man that 22/45 He and I could both shoot more. Now that I know how to reassemble it I'm thinking about getting another one for myself.

  6. Good day today. Shot the S12. :)

      lol The toys help you at least with self defense practice. Live targets are more challenging than paper. :)

  7. So my machine shop instructor wants me to know by memory what the digital conversion is for every nominal standard inch fraction on the whole damn chart. Is he nuts? Why? I've seen a Garand print from 1943 and not a fraction one on it. It's fucking stupid. Saying he might test us and only give one day to study... Smiling saying to the other instructor, "All you gotta do is put a little pressure on them." I don't do well with the cattle prod tactic, you prod I get st...

      it is so you will stop thinking in fractions and think in thousandths. Wait until they want you to memorize the number and letter drill chart to size. You will thank him later in life I promise. Memorize it and go on. It cannot hurt anything other than wasted brain cells.

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      lol Well tape, like I said, I'm reasonable. CSS made the point so I'm moving on. I don't think in fractions. I think in digits (thousandths and tenths.). It's weird but my brain works that way. He doesn't like that we rattle off the digits like math class (Where did he think it came from?). Which I was already trying to get used to saying thousandths and tenths till he pushed my big red button.

  8. I am graduating college tomorrow as an honor student with their top machining diploma. Damn I've worked so hard for two years for this...

  9. lol wow, I must have a sign around my neck that says I'm supposed to be attractive to hot black girls or something. I could get used to this. :) lol

  10. Went to a Glock forum in search of some answers. I got the answer but I accidently managed to question the "Perfection" without meaning to. Damn they're touchy. lol

      lol I believe ya eeek. Pauly, the one I went to wasn't pink but might as well be. lol :D Mullet, I'm not really brand loyal myself, I just buy what I like. The most of what I have of one type is three 1911s but they are all from different companies.

    3. 22_Shooter

      22_Shooter

      I love Glocks. But to be honest, I'm not very impressed with some of the Gen4 line up and the numerous end-user complaints on reliability. If they ever did have "perfection", they sure decided to fuck with it for no apparent reason.

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      Yeah the "perfection" bit has gone overboard. I like mine, I really do. Never thought I'd like any Glock but I haven't had any major issues with it (Gen 4 Glock 27) and I shoot quite well with it. Shooting quite well with one made me want one. I shoot just as well with it as I do my XD-40 and my 1911s. However, it is still Not my preferred carry pistol. It's hard to step away from a 1911 after you shoot a well made one. They're just awesome to me. The accuracy,...

      ahh ic. And they prolly underpressure it to be on the safe side.

  13. Job! I has job! Orientation on Friday. I will be testing auto fuel tanks made right here in the USA. :)

  14. Offset mount came in, mounted my flashlight, nice right near my thumb for an easy reach.

  15. Came back from the gun show. Got more ammo (7.62x39) and got two Otis USGI cleaning kits, one 5.56 and the other 7.62. :)

      lol That is probably a wise assumption. lol :D

  17. Weeee! :) Good stuff. My M53 parts kit came in today with the extra goodies I ordered. I've not had a chance to look at the condition of the barrel yet, lots of cosmoline to clean out.

      Fallschirmjager667

      funny you say that, when i was picking up the sterling and fal, i put one on layaway, not really good for much practical, but practicality is not why i buy my guns

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      lol Indeed, I would want one just because they make great bullet hoses. lol But I've heard that if you actually take the time to use the sights they're decently accurate just don't expect it to be as accurate as an XD or Glock. :)

  19. Happy Birthday to me. :D

      yea, rit die, don't use it with water based polyurethane though....

       

    4. ShadowFire

      ShadowFire

      I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I should take a picture of it afterward with the kool-aid. It would do the trick for a lighter red look. I have something to work with now though so that's good. Gonna have to flame treat the upper HG though. That should do the trick and make the grain look better too.

  25. I got a Rossi .45-70 lever action, big loop, brass bead on the sight, full length tube. 6+1 capacity, pics to come when I have the time and proper lighting (Rainy here lately).

      Thanks, (Thanks to Jugs also. I'm sure I will as well.) They had it in the store for a while, the price was different than the one I remember so they may have sold that one too, the price was still a good price though so I bought it.
