Armed Eye Doc

Very cool! :drool:

The knife to a gun fight thread reminded me of the 121 foot rule.

I have a yugo sks. I would not pay $450 for one, but that is about the asking price that I have seen lately. I bought mine several years ago and paid $130. For that price and before ammo went up, it was a cheap way to go out and shoot something bigger than a 22.

A patient of mine goes to veteran cemeteries and helps to clean them. That is the way to honor those who gave all. I only wish I was as good as he is.

Amen brother

I live at the Southern part of "tornado alley" and expect multiple storms a year that have that capability. That doesn't mean I don't keep an eye or two on the weather when it's warranted. I would be totally freaked out by an earthquake that a Californian would shrug at. It is horrible when a tornado hits a populated area just like it's horrible when an earthquake devastates an earthquake-prone area. You live with what trials God gives to your area and trust that you will be safe when He is through.

That sounds like a great shirt.

As much as I dislike WalMart as a general rule, I have found ammo there with some regularity. They have not changed prices from before the poop started. I got 300 rounds of 45 for $100 last week.

Cabelas online has some 22LR right now. $50 for 1000 or $24 for 500 (different brands). http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/rimfire-ammunition/_/N-1100192/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_104536080?WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104792580%3Bcat104691780

I also understood that the suspects had guns. What else do you need?

Welcome from TX. I know you'll enjoy the LAR-8. I've enjoyed mine. FAL mags are not too hard to find for a reasonable price if you look.

Very nice job. All of them look good. I am partial to the fde and od one myself.

It's nice to know I didn't overpay at the gun show. I bought the set that comes up first for $40 today at Fort Worth gun show.

Just in time for the NRA meeting.

5 boxes of 308 ammo from Cabelas.

Except they didn't bite him in the nuts.

That is crap. Similar to Jon, my grandfather had a leg cut off below the knee with a circular saw while working on a barn. He worked for another 10 years on his dairy farm before he retired at 75. I went out to help during the summer. He could outwork me with one good leg. There is too much poor, pitiful me in this country.

Fire+beer-guns=good times It's simple math.

Thanks again for the advice. I will reuse what I can for reloading. My dad has been reloading for years and I am going to get him to teach me how best to do it.

Thanks for all of the opinions. I really appreciate it. <thumbsup> I was leaning towards shooting only the ones that were slightly discolored but not corroded. But I didn't want to throw away a bunch of ammo that was good and just looked rough.

My dad does. I have not done any reloading, but have read on both sides of the argument about tumbling live ammo. What are your thoughts and experiences with it?

I did not polish 7 at all. The others I got most of the surface corrosion off. I agree about not wanting to injure me or anyone else. Thanks for the quick reply.

Before my LAR-8 arrived, I bought some Portuguese surplus 308 ammo from the 80's. The plastic battle packs were taped up when I got them. This obviously means that the ammo was exposed to the elements for some length of time. I had not looked much at the ammo until recently. My question is: how much is too much corrosion to be useful ammo? Thankfully, most of it is only slightly tarnished and not corroded. Some of it I would not use no matter how much corrosion I can get off with steel wool and therefore I don't try. Others have some mild to moderate corrosion that comes off with a little polishing but leaves a discolored case but no observable pitting in the brass. I am posting a picture of the various levels of corrosion for you to see. They are numbered so you can say which looks good or not. Let me know what is and is not acceptable. I can take more pictures and try to get more detail in the pictures or from different angles if need be. I just don't want to take any chances and blow up me or the rifle. I also don't want to spend time getting corrosion off of ammo that I think might be OK but is unsafe. Thanks for any advice.

<lmao> <laughs>

I knew what it was and still clicked on it to make sure I was right. What is wrong with me? :unsure:
