My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Every now and then I read something that I have to read again just to make sure it was actually in print. I've reread the above quoted line a handful of times and am pretty sure it's actually posted on Snipershide.com

With that collection, you might as well buy a few of those shoulder things that go up.

</div></div>

I could see this coming a mile away. Now that this is the kinder gentler Hide, I have had to bite my tongue. You have all said the things that were on my mind but not worth my time and talent behind the keyboard.

Defcon we haven't been hard on you at all. No one has shit in your thread thus far. A word of advice: When you post several threads and they produce little interest, people are bound to eventually tell you why they aren't interested. No need to be offended.

Spending your money the way you want is your business, but when you post it on the internet, it ceases to be your business alone.

Sorry I don't see this as anything but a waste of money that could have been spent on real steel.
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

sorry i misunderstood the sarcasm since im new here.
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

I've seen your threads on a few different forums and there is very little sarcasm; A lot of people simply think what you're doing is dumb and couldn't care less about it.


Since most of us are on more than just this forum, maybe you should just post all of your builds in a single thread on one forum and those who care and want to see them will.

how often can a US civilian handle a real thing without worrying about the AW ban and thousands of dollars?</div></div>

I've never served in the military, I'm not a police officer, I don't have millions of dollars, and I'm not anything else special, I'm just a normal US citizen and aside from about 2 or 3 of your stocks, I have shot every single one of those actual weapons along with many others repeatedly. It is not difficult to find someone/somewhere where you can get to play with the real McCoy. That's money much better spent and the memories/pictures of it will certainly be a lot more entertaining.

You mentioned going to the range to see if it will work, of course it is going to work, you haven't actually made any modifications to the firearm itself, placing a different stock on it isn't going to radically change anything with regards to function. It's like putting makeup on a pig, regardless of how you make it look, it's still made out of bacon.

This is a site dedicated to long distance precision shooting, even this rimfire section is about going as far as you can with a .22, prior to reading through this subforum I had never envisioned shooting .22 past 100yds and now I regularly shoot at 300yd+ with mine. You're not going to find a receptive audience here as most everyone on this forum couldn't care less about looks, all they care about is function, and there is a dearth of that here.

Maybe if you took your .22s and went and shot them for precision you'd get a better reception, but as it stands you just appear to be showing off your toys for attention and becoming upset and defensive when people deride you for it.

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

I for one think this is cooler than sh!t. My 14 y/o is a$$ over heels about airsoft and "sniper rifles" in particular. His buddy walked in the house with an AICS AW with an orange tip (I guess that call it the "L96"). I got to play with the thing and I'll be dogged if it didn't feel exactly like an AI. That this guy has figured out how to gut and fit a "training rifle" to one of these stocks should make most of you sit back and go Hmmmmmmmm.

Nobody is making A5's YET! but when it happens this guy will be the one who knows the ins and outs of gutting it to make it work.

I don't see the need for any thing full auto but you can't deny that they are fun to shoot. Am I gonna bash somebody for owning a bullet hose and posting here? Not so much, just not my thing but it's cool none the less.

defcon, it would be better if you were into shooting for accuracy but hey ya gotta start some where.

Well done and keep it up.

Cheers,

Doc
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

You don't have a safe? Looks like from the background in the pics that you have young kids. Tip offs, blow up kid tent, kid-proof outlet covers
, etc. Sell some of the mall ninja stuff and get a freaking safe!

No shit... Just wait we will hear about you, or your kid, in the evening news....
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Doesn't CA require you have a safe if you own firearms? I know they have weird standards for safes.
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

i bet the douche bags over at ar15.com would also like your dress up kits

CDOJ Requirements
Effective January 1, 2002, no firearm may be sold, transferred, or manufactured within California unless that firearm is accompanied by a DOJ-approved firearms safety device (California Penal Code section 12087, et seq).

The safety device requirement does not apply to the following:

Persons who can demonstrate the purchase of a DOJ-approved safety device in the 30 days prior to taking possession of the firearm by presenting the device to the firearms dealer and providing the firearms dealer with a receipt showing the purchase date and model name of the device.
The commerce of any firearm defined as an "antique firearm" pursuant to federal law.
The commerce of any firearm intended to be used by a salaried, full-time peace officer for law enforcement purposes.
Transfers of firearms to persons who demonstrate ownership of a qualifying gun safe. Ownership may be demonstrated by displaying to the firearms dealer: 1) A receipt indicating purchase of, or an affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury, stating that the purchaser owns a gun safe, and 2) An affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury, stating that the gun safe meets the standards set forth in DOJ regulations.

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

To own that many firearms and not have a safe, with children in the house is about as negligent behavior as I have ever heard. My firearms stay under lock and key, no one gets in there but me. I have two small kids and don't want them anywhere near that type of danger.
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

You could always get a deal on an airsoft safe.

therefore all those abortions layin there are empty, worse than firing airsoft guns. Nevertheless he does have 5 guns that need a safe
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

defcon my wife and i watch Top Shot and its an awesome show. my wife is now interested in shooting said:
That show makes me laugh and your comment about "precision marksmanship" literally made me LOL.

If you scroll to the top or bottom of your page you will notice a little phrase: "Sniper's Hide: For the Serious Tactical Marksman". This is primarily a place to learn and share about precision rifle shooting. You have already told us that you don't care about accuracy, so don't be surprised that the majority of us don't appreciate your [to us] useless toys?

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

You guys are like wolves after blood. Hammering the guy for everything from how he should spend his money to chastising him for not having a safe. I bet a person could go through most of your garages or attics and find an ample amount of things you guys have bought over the years others would think was silly and or useless. Ask your wives.

As for all your comments about how nobody on the hide cares about looks, I call B.S. I see plenty of people stating they are looking for "tacticool" stocks for their rifles as are many of the rifles painted in various forms of camo. Do all the people who paint there weapons do so with the sole intent of having to hide in the brush?

There are places on the Hide for Defcon to show off his stocks just as there are places to discuss knives, shotguns, & Krylon paint.

There are over 60K members on the Hide. If all are as dedicated to long range precision as some of you state you have to be to post up on the Hide, Camp Perry should be plenty full this year.

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Im not sure I get this, but to each his own. To the OP: youre gonna figure out pretty quick that people here are serious about LONG RANGE shooting, not playing call of duty with bastardized airsoft 22s. I like taking things apart and engineering things to solve problems but this doesnt really have anything to do with functionality. You dont work for red jacket do ya?
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Defcon, as long as your happy with what you have and what they will do that is all that matters. To hell & back with everyone else's opinion, mine included.

thanks ya im very happy with what im doing. everyone is entitled to their opinion which i appreciate. i expect to get kicked a few times here and there for doing something unusual and weird.
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

I tell you what, if I could stand shooting an AICS chassis I'd have you on speed dial for tips on the best way to gut it to fit my 540X, 513T. Savage 93, etc, etc, etc.. The same said if I drove an M-24/PSS. My kid spent 2 hours last night trying to find an airsoft company making an A5 stock. The best he came up with was and FN SPR/PBR that will be released soon in an A4 ($810 but it's coming).

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

i guess now its time to learn some precision eh?
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

So its not even about making them fit and looking halfway decent, its about gouging the shit out of it with a dremel and stuffing a action and saying done?? I think a third grader making a clay dildo in art class could make a better final product...
 
Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

I think these are all awesome. All you need now is weapons to fit inside most. I have a .22 that I built that I love as well, even shoot it sometimes over my AR's and others. Here's a pic, I noticed you didn't have a G36 look-a-like. This is the Promag marauder kit.

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Lol. A little too much stuff on the weapons, but hey man, it's your projects. Regardless, those look sweet. My biggest question, I know you live in Cali so you have to have 10rds, so how do you reload the mags and can any of these kits actually accept 25rd mags?

By the way you act in belittling a person, I'd say you may have recent experience with the third grade. Perhaps when you and your classmates get tired of playing with clay dildos, you could give an example of a better final product.

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Yeah those feed lips are trouble. Which gen did you get? The first with the plastic tab is junk. The second was also bad because they did some plastic tab on the feed lips. The third gen was better but you have to shoot high velocity heavy grain bullets like the velocitors by CCI that shoot 40gr @ 1140fps. I use 25rd mags in my 10/22. Oh joy Kentucky pretty much has no gun laws. Lol

Not my game, I damn sure wouldn't spend it, some basement dweller sure will. However if one of these companies is making repro FN PBR's it won't be too long before the lower end companies start making A5's or dare I say it "Manner's" stocks. As soon as the money grubbers figure out there is a market for injection molded plastic stocks that look just like the real thing and "real" guys turn them into training rifles........ There just "might" be a market for it.
