GUNS!!!!!!!!

I have read that the SCAR 17 destroys scopes. You might want to drop $$$$ on top quality for it to last.

In other news ScottyB just picked up a mint M1903A3 Smith Corona with a mid range barrel date. Pics to come.

What ever optic you go with on the Scar, make sure it has a good warranty.

1.5 muzzle erosion gage reading and it will not close on the nogo.

Nearly all the SC A3s had S stocks but for some reason this one got a scant grip stock from the factory.

Very cool! Speaking of old bolt guns, a friend's neighbor had a Swiss K31 out the other day. I was sufficiently intrigued. Anyone have one?

I'm looking at a Jap Type 99 (7.7mm) that's on consignment nearby. Used to have a Spanish FR-8 that I was fond of.

7.7 ammo is REALLY hard to come by and PRICEY when you find it. Most guys reload it.

They are kewl collectables.

Funny how you got so worked up about Damian Sanders bullshit, then you post your own blend of bullshit like this. Scram.

Any obsession is a form of mental illness. Maybe WTF should see a shrink about his gay nazi midget porn habit

Didn't Century arms have a bunch of FR8 for sale in the early 90's? IIRC they were trainers for the CETME and had detachable mags in addition to the other CETME features that made any rifle other than a bolt action rifle evil and therefore forbidden. Am I totally high?

**Viva** · 10-24-2017, 04:04 PM

No detachable mag, but they had the CETME sights, suppressor, and maybe a few other goodies.

Vortex glass FTW. Lifetime don't ask don't tell warranty. Scopes, monoculars, binoculars.

Hmm. Ok. Memory can be a funny thing.

**MTT** · 10-24-2017, 09:03 PM

I just watched a You tube vid on the Henry 45.70. I think I want one.

Any thoughts about this rifle?

I looked a bit closer. that tube holds 4 rounds!

I thing I would rather feed a single shot bolt action. So
Never mind!

**wooley12** · 10-25-2017, 11:45 AM

A "How To" video. Legend is that Wayne smacked himself in the face when he tried it the first time.

**Game Over** · 10-25-2017, 11:58 AM

Maybe it's just me but it always seemed like a good way to shoot yourself in the face.

So Childers and Recreator just got approval of the trimmed and welded 80% AK receivers.

I know not many are homebuilders here but this is very kewl.

Moar info plz

I don't know how to build from an 80% lower, but I'm a fast learner. and my FFL told me he will import receivers for me, as MA defines a gun as "something which can fire a projectile" and the stripped lower as such doesnt fit the bill so technically "legal" for him to import and me to purchase

sb · 10-26-2017, 02:43 PM

Its basically a full receiver that has the the lower rails welded, top rails trimmed, mag well and trigger openings done and the mag dimples done plus its fully heat treated. You drill the hammer and trigger pin holes, holes for the selector, holes for the rivets to the mag catch/trigger guard and the front and rear trunion rivet holes. The templates for locating the holes are also available. The 80% can be shipped to your house, no FFL.

Pair it with the kit of your choice plus a barrel and you have the ingredients for a home built AK. You will need one of the several books or watch a shit ton of utoob viddies on the subject. After that you wood be able to ask informed questions on one of several AK forums. There are tools you will need like a 12 ton press, a drill press and some rivet crushing tools ect. or you can send it all out to a reputable builder for a fee.

It aint easy but it aint hard. Do your home work and you may have a new hobby.
