    The unofficial GUN talk thread

    OK,here we go.  This is kind of in order with the previous post. Im happy with how it came out, 2 small waves, that were in the area of the rear sight base, they are low spots, Im not going to mill the barrel down to remove them. Im going with a flat finish, so it should not show at all, in the...

    Love it!!!    You will have some fun for sure!   I dont shoot mine a whole lot, but just got a set of dies, so it might come out to play more often now.     Onto the Mosin.   I got it home, it was beautiful, all refinished, just a very clean looking surplus rifle.  So, I proceeded to...

    We should have a "Mosin Meet"!  My reloading buddy has 7 or 8 of them, all different, plus a few other guys around here have them.  i might go get mine tonight, but its kind of wet and miserable out. There must be a few others on here that have a stash of these things, it would be cool if we got...

    So I had my uncle get me the Mosin, planning on doing the bent bolt conversion, and drilling and tapping for a scope.  Turns out what he got was in his words "the best Mosin I have ever seen condition wise" It came with a bent bolt, scope, and a few other other modifications, plus the best wood...

    My latest toy... lifted OR lowered with the flick of 10 switches

    After being almost busted by Gabe,I left my super-secret hideout where it doesn't snow, and came back to Litchfield for these pics.  I want to drive it around, but the wheels would get dirtier than they are already. Got the door panels out, and started doing the Dynamat, then found out my rear...

    My latest toy... lifted OR lowered with the flick of 10 switches

    The rear bumper is fixed now, not drooping to the right, and when Joe is done, he says the whole car will be laser straight. A guy at work does custom murals, so theres a hellish demon scene going on the 2nd trunk lid. Ill get some pics of the Daytons and other goodies in a little bit, Im...

    Just picked up a Mosin.  I think Im going to do up an Archangel stocked sniper rifle looking thing.  Theres a few on Gunbroker all done, they look nasty.  Looks like the only thing I cant (shouldnt) do is the work on the bolt. Im thinking for the Duracoat, maybe a stainless finish on most of the...

    My latest toy... lifted OR lowered with the flick of 10 switches

    Everything is lined up for a warm rainy weekend of stereo installation/wiring.  It has 2  5 1/4s in each door, and 4 in the rear deck.  I got 2 sets of old school Soundstream component speakers from ebay, plus a set of JL Audio components from my WRX going in, with a Soundstream Reference 500...

    Hobart Airforce 250i Anybody used one yet?

    I may be able to get a couple more for what I paid. $500 new in the box beats $859 all day... mine was a display model, and someone had stolen the cup off it, but I found them on ebay for $10 a piece. Ill check and see if I can get any more.

    Looking for a 04-05 WRX front bumper skin

    Speaking from experience, Evergreen can get these in a few days, and they are $200+/-.  Really beats trying to make a $100 8 year old part look good.  Paint (custom spray cans from Motor Supply) was about $40 for a can of flex primer, 1 can of code matched PSM color, and 1 can of diamond clear. ...

    Another old Subaru-1990 Loyale build

    First, a big thatks to all of you tree guys/ lineworkers! People that haven't worked these kinds of hours have no idea of what a week or 2 of 16-18 hour days does to you.. I dont plow anymore, but will never forget what it was like.     Next, have you seen the old Brat on craigslist? ...

    anyone here tig weld?

    I know this is old, but there is a guy right over your way on 126 or 194, one of those, he is very good, certified to work/weld on nuclear power plant components (that's what he does) I have his number if you need it. He has a pretty nice little shop, Im 90% sure he is in Whitefield, but...

     I had a P13 for a while, never really got into it.  I like the Warthog a lot better, but yeah, the finish on both was garbage. Luckily I dont have a lot in it. So the cost of the Duracoat wont hurt so bad.  Ill do some before, during and after the coating pics when i get the courage up to put...

    Hobart Airforce 250i Anybody used one yet?

    Yeah, its rated for 1/4" at 3"/min.   It does a VERY good job. I sliced thru some thick tractor trailer aluminum intercooler piping, and it was like butter. It supposedly will do up to 1/16" aluminum, clean, but this stuff was thick, and it was a very clean cut. If you're in the market...

    My latest ATV transformation! Project Super Stang!

    Well, I can sort of ressurect this one.  My buddy just bought this car from someone else, and ill end up doing a bunch of work on it now.  I have some action pics of the Max in the water as well, somewhere on my old computer. If I can fish them out of it, Ill upload them.  I have a half acre or...

    My latest toy... lifted OR lowered with the flick of 10 switches

    I was always going to do one, Ive had pretty much every other kind of car out there.  The Monte is probably the most fun vehicle Ive had so far.  i wish it wasnt so miserable out, i want to see it with the Daytons, but dont want to get them all messy just to take them off again until May.  Im...

          Has anybody on here tried the Para Ordnance Warthog yet?   Its a really nice piece. It is definately not as comfortable as my USP, but this thing would fit in a front pocket, and holds 10 rds of .45, plus you can get bigger magazines.  Im going to do some upgrades, night sights and maybe a...
