Re: Milwaukee police chief above the law
Loss of his job and a few years behind bars might help to change that jerk's attitude.

Rifle project finished!
Well, she's done. A nice, composite stocked M1A has been transformed into an old warhorse, like me. A bunch of features that the anti-gun crowd would hate but couldn't point out...and all on one rifle. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x211/135boomer_photos/Image004-1.jpg Now, how the heck do I con...

Re: National Park Carry update...
The environmental effect is obvious. The sight of a holstered gun would make the anti-gunner crowd poop their pants, thus polluting the atmosphere! ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Texas Open Carry – Negative
I oppose open carry for one reason--timing. This is not the congress and president that we want to provoke to action on guns. Actually this would be the best reason. Make them squirm. The power rests with the people and the states. Anygunanywhere I agree. The dips in D.C. need to be reminded that t...

Re: How many magazines ?
I don't keep all my mags loaded. I hope I never feel the need to do that, but if I do I'll have enough to fight the whole darned war.
Hmmm...come to think of it, I do have about 120 8 rd. clips for my Garands loaded! (that's how it came

My new "Black Rifle"
Well, I broke down and picked up a new M1A over the weekend. They are getting pretty scarce around here. I have always loved the M14. :patriot: Here she is. See, it IS black! "rlol" http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x211/135boomer_photos/Image0012-19.jpg I laughed my backside off when I s...

Garand clip ejection video
Well, I got off my dead backside and took the Winchester to the range. What a sweetheart! Bullet after bullet through the same hole. I swapped gas plugs so I can shoot commercial ammo without damaging my oprod. After a few rounds and adjustments, she was cycling fine. :thumbs2: Watch very closely an...

CMP still has some rack grade IBM carbines. Be prepared for a very long wait!

Re: Here ya go CMP fans!
Can't tell about the metal, but the picture makes it look like one of the nicest stocks I've seen on an SG . . . Any interesting cartouches? Markings on the bolt, barrel, trigger group, etc? Just wondering how close to "correct" it is. Stock is new CMP birch. Walnut on order. This sweethe...

Re: Ammo Shortage?
Rifle ammo, especially the high speed pea shooter (.223) seems to be a bit scarce too.
