This is the circle k on the M91/30 The point of aim proof means that the sights are properly adjusted and it hits where you aim it... Drat! I was hoping it meant it was kosher and I could look for a rifle that comes with chopped liver. There's not a single place in this whole town where a guy can g...

Touche.

Holy Crap! I haven't met anyone that knows what Scrapple is. I grew up on that stuff. Fried with eggs and fried potatoes...umm man that's some good eatin'. When I lived in California the local Savemart carried it and then stopped. I asked the butcher why they stopped carrying it and he said he used...

Cabelas was selling the PPU for about $15/box. It's non-corrosive and reloadable brass. Not sure if it's still available but for a while you could get "bulk" PPU with a free plastic ammo can. 100 rounds is really just 5 boxes taped up. Not really bulk. And the plastic ammo can is OK, but n...

That 7 thousandths case swell is how the chamber gets sealed to keep gas blowback from getting out the back when the round ignites. It's supposed to do that.

I picked up on when he said "That's why I keep you around." I have no explanation on it though. I would say this is go OT, but it was a bubba thread to begin with so who cares! have you seen a thread on here that actually did stay on topic? thats why I love it here, it stays interesting a...

I think almost all have the little click spot. Just past vertical. If it doesn't close nothing is wrong with the rifle. I have used this to test springs though. If it closes and doesn't have the good snap on closing then the spring is a little weaker usually. :D The click spot at the top of the bol...

I doubt you could sell one per hundred extant rifles. Maybe one per five hundred. But it really depends on price point. If they're $100 ea then almost no one would do it. If they were five bucks almost everyone would at least give them a try because the downside is negligible. Somewhere in the middl...

... unless you create a whole new assembly from scratch. Also, to make a reliable mag spring, feed system & the time to make it would be cost prohibitive.... Essentially it's a whole assembly. I first saw the thing on the web some time back looking at his Steam Punk computer stuff. Check this o...

You shoot the new stuff?! Hell, I'm saving that for SHTF. I shoot the '40s stuff for fun.

I may run a brush through mine a couple of times, maybe, but i like to use a worn brush with a cotton patch wrapped around it. It runs the patch throu fairly tight, then I switch over to a 30 caliber jag and continue with cotton patches. With Hoppes #9 on the patches until it is as clean as I want,...

+1 And if we fail to change course we're headed down the same road to ruin I'm afraid.

I can see why no legal launchers in California, everyone knows how often everyday in America grenades are fired at each other :roll: Aren't the Brady folks concerned that eventually the old Soviets will start including free grenades in the bottom of a box of surplus ammo as a way to grab market sha...

I think if you take off the grenade launcher you may be making the Yugo an illegal weapon. Someone chime in. I don't yet have an SKS, so I'm on thin grounds here. How long is the barrel? If the barrel is over 16 inches long without the launcher then there shouldn't be an NFA problem. If it is not o...

As far as the cracked case goes, what ammo were you using?

Some are just right. They all seam to shoot different. I need to get a note book and start keeping notes on my different rifles -- so I remember how each one shoots. JB I keep my notes directly on the targets as I examine them at the range, then stack the targets chronologically in my drawer about ...
