Re: Barrel shroud on eban

Remember thos Nazi Tshirts Walmart was selling? The ones with the Deaths Head on it? Well, there was a guy on ebay selling them.. the heading was "Nazi Totenkopf Walmart shirt". The auction ran for a full seven days. (I actually contacted him and had him create a second auction for me in my size!) W...

Re: Receiver on ebay

For that price somebody here should bid on it. Then have the guy cut it in half and send the rear section only. Im not sure if it meets ATF regulation, but without the front half its hardly a receiver. Oh well, cant hurt to imagine. I wont be the guy trying to bid on it however, cause Im always the ...

Re: German army recruit training MG3 video

One of my old commanders told me a story about something that happend to him in college. He had a friend who was one of those uber-Zionists, everything was Jewish this and that, and not a day would go by without some mention of his peoples suffering and oppression. One day WWII comes up as a topic a...

Re: FAL or AR trigger group better?

Ive been rebuilding this 82 Camaro for the last 6 months. Havnt lost the tranny, YET, but the engine that I just blew I had put less than 100 miles on it since installing it! My poor MG42 parts kit just sits in the corner and stares at me like one of those pathetic fly ridden starving children in Af...

FAL or AR trigger group better?

IM getting closer to building this thing! Gonna send the receiver out to get welded this week? So, in most peoples opinions, what is the better trigger group, AR or FAL? Ive heard that the AR doesnt strike hard enough and the FAL group is considerably more complicated. Ive seen pre made semi pistol ...

To be honest with you, Ive given up on gun collecting in this state. Most of my LEO's dont understand the laws, all the ranges around me are 'ole boy' clubs that really only welcome trap shooters, and the pistol permit situation in my county is pathetic. NY is the model of the future! (of gun contro...

Hey Propos, I have your solution. 1) Move to NY. 2) Go to a range where any more than 20 rnds a minute will get you yelled at. 3) Save on ammo costs. 4) Give me all your extra ammo. SO WTF does the Turk ammo shoot SO high? IM serious when I say its like 12-14 inches high. Ive got about 400 rnds of t...

I say that reloading is more dangerous because it is subject to human error, whereas current factory ammo is a precision, computer controlled event. Well, it seems I have stirred up a hornets nest. I will continue to shoot my crap 8mm and 308 out of my bolt guns, and Ill be selective about my semi b...

Jbaum, please go back and read my FIRST line and see where it says "Im not implicating anyone here". Now relax, take a breath, we are all friends here.....

Why are people such ammo snobs? Im not implicating anybody here, it just seems that everyone has a horror story about ammo from country X or components from country Y. Years ago I jumped on a bunch of Paki .303. The stuff was crap, lots of misfires and hangfires. But it was cheap as hell and I fired...

Just to chime in on what everybody else has said: Its the blanks.

Let me tell you about that 1919 build..........easiest build of my life. So far Ive built AR's, G3's, a FAL, a semi sten, a few AK's and the 1919. I sent the internals out get milled. All I had to do was drill the right side plate and mash the rivets. The gun functions flawlessly. (A working militar...

The stock was chemically stripped and then finished in a semi gloss urethane. The bipod is stock, it just fits in the same place the AA mount does. What do you mean 'all that stuff' under the latch" Nothing but the feed tray and related parts....
