Lemme Guess...... Brooklyn Bridge? :ROFLMAO:

Only problem being, I see the "Freedom Tower" in the background and the Concorde had been decommissioned by then,.....

LEGO® Set Build
So back in August the Concorde Supersonic Jet that is on display here in NYC at the Intrepid Sea and Space Museum was relocated to undergo some restoration work. It was lifted onto a barge and then tugged down the Hudson around Lower Manhattan and up the East River where it eventually would pass under the Brooklyn Bridge. I am a photographer who has been capturing scenes around the city for years so when I heard this was being moved I went down to Brooklyn Bridge Park and waited for the moment. Took the photo and simply shared to my various social channels and it just blew up on FB with shares everywhere.

Im standing my ground...no really.

If the police had entered the scene while he was stabbing they would have shot him.
It was not his duty to stop whatever the man was doing. He inserted himself into the situation as though it was. He didn't know Jack shit about the man's background and is using that, later found, knowledge to justify his actions.

Joe Biden Has Cancer

I hope this motherfucker suffers all the way to his last second. I hope he bleeds out of every orifice of his fucking body. I hope his fucking pain is excruciating till the very fucking end then someone revives him so he can suffer through it all once again.


And I still won't be satisfied that he has suffered enough.

Fuck this mother fucking cum stain and oxygen thief.

The POS was the commander in chief for the bullshit withdrawal in Afghanistan. The POS took a nap and made the families wait for the 13 Servicemen to be brought of the plane. The POS checked his watch while they were bringing flag draped coffins off the plane like it was ice cream time and the ceremony was interrupting it. Yes he's a dementia brain dead POS but those actions were during lucid times.
Fuck him!!

First Remington 700 build..

For a shooter that Rem 700 would likely be fine in the stock configuration. Then you can have something to blast with as you build a fancier caliber on a custom action.

Blueprinting is a waste for a stock Rem 700 action. Another option is a Remage barrel with a nut if you are deadset on using a Rem 700 action. Cheaper than a full custom barrel and install at home.

Parker Hale M85 replica - Mission Impossible?

The machine work is not difficult for a competent gunsmith with actual machinist experience. Have the action salt bath heat treated when done. Search the internet, there is a document that gave the material composition of the steel used, so you know what to tell the heat treater. It's definitely doable.
Thanks for the detailed response. I appreciate the details - and your optimism that this project is doable. I could not find info re M85 receiver metal composition, but apparently 17 years ago it was on a website called ‘mausercentral.com’ which is long gone. I was able to find this one nugget of info from a 2010 post that referred to that old thread on the defunct website - which I hope is correct re steel type.

I’m going to write a letter to Norman Clark in the UK as I don’t know if an email will get read, and see is he has a drawing re barrel tenon/threads or maybe some old parts. I think he retired years ago, so we’ll see. The bottom metal latching mechanism (or enough details for fabrication) is what I need as far as parts needed to proceed.

This rifle project is a huge challenge…but I’ve invested $2900 at this point with all the M85 parts and optic system, and hoping I can somehow finish it 2026…maybe.
