  1. Simple fix with a single spring when the spring goes in the back of the reciever; cut a piece of coat hanger wire (diameter is exactly what's needed!) a little longer than .70 and dress the ends square on a grinder or with a file to .70 (it's not critical, can be a few thou more or less) and put it in behind the spring. Done deal!
  2. You're probably right, the picture of the stock isn't even a photo, it's a drawing.
  3. Guess I got lucky! My wife not only likes guns, she gets pissed if I want to sell one to buy another one. She tells me "Don't sell a gun, just buy it and keep them both. In all fairness though, she was born in Cuba and knows what it's like to live in a communist country. That woman is one of the biggest 2nd Amendment advocates I've ever seen!
  4. Back in the 70's I got to watch quite a few funny cars compete running V-12 engines. Sweet sounding engines!
  5. Welcome from New Mexico brother! There are a few of us LEOs on here, both active and retired.
  6. Welcome from New Mexico!
  7. Well our son booked a cruise around that time for us with him & his wife and I just checked and yup, the cruise ends on 3-14. We will be on our way back from Long Beach on the 15th!☹️
  8. I'm not doing it brother, but I WILL be there to support you and anyone else from the forum who does!
  9. That is what I was thinking about 30 seconds into the video!
  10. THAT is a beautiful classic! Glad to hear it is being well taken care of!
  11. I agree!
  12. You haven't ran afoul of one yet! If you ever do, I guarantee your attitude will change! In my extensive experience the only club that is worse is the Bandidos! Go find a copy of 'The Fat Mexican' and read it. Those azzholes had a whole chapter of their own killed of by another chapter! If society ever collapsed these are the people who will be trying to control everybody and everything and will show no mercy doing it!
  13. Riding a Harley DAMN sure doesn't make you a 1%er! I think you need to educate yourself on what a 1%er is!
  14. 1%ers are lowlifes, veterans or not! Just the '1%' thing brands them as outlaws and criminals (research it!). I have absolutely no respect for a 1%er, don't care if he is a veteran! I've been in the biker world for over 30 years and have damn good reasons for feeling that way.
  15. Yup, back in the day I had a 70 Cuda 340 4spd. I sold it to pay bills when we were raising 5 kids (blended family). I had a friend give me a couple of Chrysler 392 Hemis several years ago and I ended up buying another 70 Cuda and put one of them in it after rebuilding it. Later on I pulled the 392 and sold it to a friend of mine who put it in a 35 Dodge sedan street rod he built. I swapped in a late model 5.7 Hemi. Little bastard is a screamer! My wife had a 73 Duster with a 318 when we met. That was a neat little car, wish we hadn't gotten rid of it.
  16. I quit putting forward assists in any of my builds, AR15 or AR308! The lack of a forward assist hasn't bit me on the azz yet! If it's not a slick side upper I use these and they have been good to go for me (and they stay black!); https://www.midwayusa.com/product/198053/schuster-forward-assist-plug-delrin-ar-15
  17. That's harsh brother! Bait your buddy then buy it out from under him!
  18. Welcome from New Mexico Peachey! Any woman who packs a 1911 is alright in my book. I carried one on (and off) duty for years and I've been 'smithing them for over 30 years.
  19. We all do brother, but in this case it wasn't you! I just quoted your comment to be able to trot that meme out.
  20. Yup, my youngest was over there for 2 years in the Corps and hated it! He is a desert rat, born and raised here in S.W. New Mexico. When he was finishing up his 2 years at Oki he requested 29 Palms! WTF! NOBODY requests 29 Palms!
  21. I have two sons who have been in the Marines. The older one from 1995 to 1999 and he says they had to qual with iron sights. The younger one was in from 2012 to 2016 and he says nobody qualed with iron sights, everything was done with ACOGs.
  22. The gas system length and the stock system have nothing to do with each other as far as operation. Any gas system length will work with any stock system as long as each is set up properly.
  23. Are you a LEO? Have you ever done this job? You can take your remedial training and go fly a kite! I hate people who armchair quarterback a cop's actions based on a video that is a small window during a small segment of time. You weren't there, you didn't see things unfold like these officers did and yet you feel like you know enough about what happened to say these guys need remedial training???
  24. Most US suppressor manufacturers use something like Inconel (same alloy used for the exhaust valves in top fuel engines) for the first baffle because that is the one that is most susceptible to erosion from the hot gases. That's one of the reasons suppressors are more expensive in the US. Their reasoning for using a more exotic material (read 'more expensive') is sound though. Since we have to pay a $200 extortion fee to the Feds on top of the cost of the suppressor and it's not transferable we expect more out of our suppressors than shooters in other countries do, and the manufacturers do what they can to make them last as long as possible.
