I won a Howa 1500 in a raffle. I paid $38 for the entry so I don't have a lot in it. The rifle has the green Hogue stock, a cheap Niko Stirling 4-12x40 Game Pro Scope and has the 22" Contour Barrel (not the heavy barrel) and it's chambered in .308. It's threaded so I can put my can on it so that's a plus. But... As much as I like the feel of the stock, I kind of want to turn it into a chassis gun. So here are the options:

1. Just put a chassis on it as is
2. Re-barrel with a heavy barrel and add the chassis
3. Sell it and use the funds to build something the way I want
4. Just leave it alone and shoot the dang thing

Obviously, option 1 is gonna be the cheapest. How much will accuracy suffer due to not having a heavy barrel though? Is this worth doing?? Just looking for some opinions.

This is probably Ray Liotta's last movie

Why is this not exploding news in the gun world?


BLUF: serial numbers on a firearms were part of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, and the Judge used the Supreme Court's June 24 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc v. Bruen to dismiss the charge.

The implication seems far reaching. This should impact damn near everything from the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 as violating the Bruen "standard." My understanding is the ATF&E held an emergency meeting after the decision (albeit hearsay).

Proposing to ban the sale of gas powered cars. Geez does he think he's gonna be around that long? The fix is STILL in?

Hopefully this doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of happening, but it goes to show that libs have absolutely zero common sense.

It's all about control comrade.

Phuck em.

I gave this glove to a 12 year old player last year. He got two seasons of good play out of it. Now it's back for a tune up. I need to order some blue laces to finish it. I can't do much about the piping around the wrist. That kind of thing happens when kids don't take glove off between pitches. Tell you r kids to take the glove off between pitches and it will last a whole lot longer.

I have already called the kids dad and given him a hard time about the monkey knots.

A Naples, Florida, doctor accused of sexually assaulting patients while performing cosmetic surgery was found dead in a ditch with a gunshot wound to the head Monday.
Eric Andrew Salata’s, 54, death was confirmed by a Collier County medical examiner to have been self-inflicted, Fox 4 reported.
Collier County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the area of the 4800 block of Gail Boulevard to perform a welfare check on Salata after no movement was detected on his ankle monitor Monday, WINK News reported. Upon arrival, they discovered Salata’s body near a wooded area with a pistol next to his right leg.
A week earlier, Salata was arrested on November 21 at his office at the Pura Vida Medical Spa after two patients accused him of having sexually battered them while performing cosmetic medical treatments.
According to the Naples Police Department:

One victim advised being administered nitrous oxide to assist with sedation and pain from the procedure. During the procedure, as the nitrous oxide was wearing off, she found Dr. Salata performing sexual intercourse. The victim felt shocked after the sedation subsided about what had taken place, contacted police, and submitted to a sexual assault examination which was sent to the FDLE laboratory for the continuing investigation.
A second victim came forward and relayed to police a similar account about her experience while under sedation at Pura Vida Medical Spa with Dr. Salata. Detectives collected sexual assault evidence, which was also submitted to the FDLE laboratory for comparison and to support a prosecution of Dr. Salata.

A judge set Salata’s bond at $100,000 on Tuesday, but the doctor paid cash bail immediately and was bonded out the same day, according to the Naples Daily News.
A lawyer representing one of Salata’s accusers says that it will turn from a criminal case to a civil one, as they intend to file a suit against the deceased doctor’s estate and business.

Buh bye!!

Price: $900 shipped, (Gunbroker has been selling these for roughly 930-1100)

Description: This is, as many Benelli and H&K fans will attest, a rather firearm in the American market. Due to the nature of this firearms importation, the vast majority of 121 M1's were Police issued Riot Control guns. Consequently, most of those were beat to shit. This one, however, maintains almost all of the features of those police guns, but without the markings and damages.

This comes with its original sling and original sights. To many, as well, this 121 M1 action is considered still the fastest. While I don't know if it is the fastest in the world, but it is without a doubt the fastest shotgun that I have personally shot. Great little scattergun

Possible Bundled Price: If someone is willing to spend the money to buy this and the USP that I have listed, I'll sell them both for a flat $1300 shipped. They're both really cool pieces in someone's military, police or H&K History collection

Shipping Service: UPS or USPS

Notes: The reloading mechanics of this firearm are a little weird and there are not much information to go off of online. If bought, I can instruct the buyer, either by messages or video phone call, on how to reload and operate this firearm.

Looking to sell a rifle I had built a couple years ago. Defiance Tenacity action (marked Alpha & Omega) chambered in 6.5PRC, bead blasted Stainless Hawk Hill barrel, timed Hawkins muzzle brake, Hawkins bottom metal, AICS Mag, Manners EH1 stock, Dakota trigger. The Optic is a Vortex Crossfire 4x16. The scope isn't anything special, willing to leave it on or not, your choice. Looking for $2600. OBO will pay to ship to lower 48 from FFL to FFL. Willing to meet up in the Kansas City area.

Fired sub 60 shots
~10lbs with scope and loaded

Let me know if you have questions. Call/text 8166943951

I've decided to part with another of my HK91's. I've got something in sight that I need to raise some quick "Momma Don't Know" money just to avoid listening to it. This is a quality shooter grade 91. It's solid, but I just want to be honest. I'd rather underpromise and over deliver. Has had an optic mounted at some point so it has the typical light marks on the receiver. The bore is beautifully bright and sharp. Additional pictures available upon request.

For some reason a previous owner radiused the rear castle sight edges slightly. I'd not noticed, but a member messaged me inquiring about the rifle and pointed it out to me.

The rifle can be purchased two different ways:

Option 1: As pictured with the HK wood furniture for $2,950

Option 2: With the black furniture in the separate set of pictures below and NO WOOD FURNITURE for $2750. This forend has been coated with something textured and the stock has had the same done but someone has attempted to remove the coating. Neither are pretty, but they're functional.

































This is the black furniture that would be included with the option #2 price of $2750:

WTS a used but in great condition Mcmillan A5 in gap camo. Stock is bedded for a surgeon 591 short action, but My voodoo with kukri barrel fits perfect. I can also try a rem 700 if needed. Bedding was done by KMW. Barrel profile is a heavy plama. Stock comes with surgeon bdm and kmw loggerhead. Also has an arca rail that was installed by Mcmillan. I would be interested in a trade for an mpa hybrid plus $.

Stock: $950 shipped conus only.

Just saw this article on Yahoo. Please turn in those bothersome illegal firearms/heirlooms that you have...you won't ever have a need for them. Ha Ha Ha!

I've currently got a Faxon match barrel and it's not shooting as good as I'd hope it would - around 1.2-1.8 MOA with IMI 77gr OTMs. 1.9-3.0 MOA with M193. I'm going to play around with a couple more bullet weights but I'm unsure it'll improve drastically. I'm trying not to fall into my habit of constantly changing my rifle (this would be it's 4th barrel since I first bought it) - but I know exactly what I want - a lightweight, fluted barrel that can shoot consistent MOA with match ammo and 2.0 or better with M193, and while the faxon is lightweight and fairly accurate I want MORE.

I had a Criterion before. It was alright, but their backorders are LONG. So I'm leaning White Oak (Or rainer, etc).

I know it's fun to drag on Faxon, but without bias, would white oak really shoot lights out compared to Faxon's **match** barrels?

Went over to work out some details of my impending retirement to the dark continent. While I was there I had the opportunity to take a red lechwe. Normally one of these would be simply too expensive but a good friend hooked me up with a hunt at a price I could not afford to scoff at. Taken with a .308win Sako wearing a USO optic and for the first time in my hunting in Africa, the rifle was not suppressed. Just a bare muzzle. 2 in the shoulder using Nosler Accubond's. The first one thoroughly disconnected the on-side shoulder bones from the rest of the constituent parts of the bugger and set the old boy's handbrake. The 2nd shot, while possibly being not entirely necessary, unburdened us of the whole "chase me, chase me" ritual and disconnected the heart from the other parts that were still connected to each other. When I got up to it, both front feet were over the head between the horns like it was expecting to be cuffed. Clearly it was feeling guilty about something. Chalk up one more hide and skull and another good time hanging out with friends.



Side story: South Africa is one of those special places where it's just safe enough across enough of it to be relaxing while being just off the rails enough to be properly fun and exciting. Upon landing in Johannesburg I was seated in the plane such that I was surrounded by 3 middle aged german couples who'd never been to any part of Africa before much less South Africa. It's all perfectly fine as long as you don't do anything truly stupid. Their whole trip had been planned by one of the gals who'd brought along the thing she used to plan the trip: a guide book which mentioned all of the neat stuff while mentioning exactly none of the realities of the situation. I glanced through at the sticky note'd pages for the hotspots they planned on visiting and noticed that the book was, if not directly misleading, clearly written by someone that probably enjoyed surprise buttsex a good deal more than most would. The Germans saw my taken aback-ness and asked for any tips I might have to add. As it was about midnight when we landed, I suggested that they get a room at one of the hotels on the airport grounds rather than go galavanting around Joburg after dark. They looked stunned, as if my concern for their probability of living long and happy lives was somehow a distinctly paranoid delusion. Because someone further forward on the plane was being arrested for being a drunken dick to the cabin crew we had a good bit of time to chat and I think that I and a friendly local who'd joined in to echo my admonition to exercise special caution after dark had finally managed to convey that while many parts of South Africa are quite nice and the people generally lack in true malice with most being friendly in a burglar-ish/beggar-ish kind of way; especially the Western Cape province which is still exceptionally nice in most spots and the people very warm and friendly with very little burglar-ish/beggar-ish overtones, Joburg is one of the more unlovely parts of Africa generally and it's best left to one side for first timers. I then gave them the most important tip I could: do not simply rely on GPS for navigation in South Africa. Ever. Instead to hit google maps, google earth, etc... and have a really damned good notion of exactly where they'd be going and how exactly they'd get there before ever heading out on any particular journey lest one end inadvertently up in one of the exceptionally unlovely parts of the country where things can get very exciting very quickly.

I purchased lens covers from MK Machining for a Vortex Razor 1-6. I received them and one of the covers doesn't fit. I called MK Machining and a lady answered. She stated she had recently heard from other customers that the cover doesn't fit. She asked me to measure the diopter and tell her the dimensions. My digital calipers were at my shop, so I couldn't give her measurements at that time.

I called a few days later with the measurements and spoke with a man. He informed me they had simply gone by the dimensions listed on Vortex's website and didn't actually test the product on the actual scope. He suggested I send it back to him and he would send me another one. He also stated they only cerakote once a week, so it would take time to get one back to me. There was no offer to pay for shipping, since this clearly wasn't my error. I told him I wasn't happy with how long this process was going to take, but he seemed unconcerned. In my opinion, when it's your mistake, you send one out to the customer immediately and send a shipping label to send the old one back.

Fast forward to now. MK Machining received the cover on 11/7, but I've yet to receive any communication from them, and I don't have a cover back. I've tried to call, but I get a recording that they're having phone issues and customers should email. I've emailed them, but I can't get a response. This is terrible customer service for a supposedly precision product that was never tested on the actual scope.

I am looking for a way to heat my shop. After doing some research I am going to do one of these cheapo chinese heaters till I get the loft built in the shop and I can put in a wood stove.

In my research I came across this video. Nothing really outstanding on the video but at the end he made some comments that I found very interesting....VERY.

If you are not interested in this stuff, just skip to 19:38 to see his comments on heating in england this winter. I found it really quite sad.

I know this is going on over there. And yea they made their bed let them sleep in it, but keep in mind where most of us live, do you really think this can't happen in the US, if you do sorry it is happening. I don't have a good video like this one where someone makes some interesting comments on a diesel heater video. I find these little bits of info tell you the real story of what is going on.

Through the "magic" of reloading this season I have produced a few "short" cases. By short I mean to say a few tho short in both overall length and on the shoulder. (Vs say the other 75 cases I shoot on a regular basis)
So these cases have sat in the "nope" box. But now I'm wondering.... if I load them up and shoot them (how else am I going to get them to grow?) what should I expect?
For reference it's 223 @ 200Y and the rifle groups around .9"s at that distance.
Is it worth burning components just to get some growth on them?
Thanks!

Selling my 6.5 Prc. The action is a brand new Bighorn Origin short action mag bolt face with zero rounds. It’s mounted on a proof research 1-8 twist 24” carbon barrel. Barrel is marked tl3 but is headspace for an origin. I also have a hunts recoil lug I can throw in so you could use tl3 barrels. Barrel has approximately 70-80 rounds down the tube. Thread work was done by straight jacket. Muzzle threads are 5/8 and the trigger is a trigger tech special. Would like to try and sell altogether if possible but may be willing to split if it doesn’t sell. Asking $1650 shipped to your ffl or your residence if you’re in Texas
