Just tried another box of the CBC. Same issues. Some of it is loaded way hot and again caused extraction issues. Recoil was noticeably harder and faster than the ppu. As far as I'm concerned this is hands down the shittiest ammo I've ever shot, beating any of the Russian steel by a wide margin as it races to the bottom of the pile of crap not worth shooting. I would never consider using this ammo for anything other than failure drills. If CBC is in fact Brazils manufacturer for military ammo I pity those soldiers. While they're busy trying to fix a ton of jams and ammo caused failures you could walk up and t bag them. Seriously, how does a company set out to make some thing worse than wolf? It had to take some effort to be this horrible.

What to get a friend graduating from the police academy

A pocket Constitution. -
I always use live bait unless it can't be found, and if no live is available I use fake Crawdads and Hellgrammites.

Monday morning we woke up to a steamy -17* on the north side of the San Francisco peaks in flagstaff. Unit 7e. This was our 4th day of the hunt and so far had only seen 3 bulls. We only had Tuesday morning if it didn't work out. The clock was ticking away on us. Lots of fresh tracks in the snow that morning leading up into the cinder cones. We finally jump 2 cows down low and have to hike up a cinder cone after them. They ran straight up and over and just kept going. Once we reached the top they were long gone out in the flats on the other side. We started glassing and saw tracks everywhere. All headed the same way. Straight at Colton crater. Brushing the ice out of my beard we hiked back to the truck and drove over to Colton. Tracks tracks tracks. Driving around the north side we finally saw them, 3/4 of the way up he side of a seriously steep cinder cone next to Colton. We drove up into the saddle and parked. We glassed for two hours formulating a couple plans. Plan A: wait till they get up and move and hope it is down the draw by us while there is still enough light. Plan B: Make a move and hope they don't run around the top of the hill. By 3:15 we chose plan B. I hiked 200 yards closer and got a good rest. The sun was almost in my sight picture and was making it hard to see the elk on the shadow side if the cinder cone. They were about 425-450 yards off from where I was and up about a 40* incline. I aim and squeeze the trigger. Click! Are you F'ing kidding me? When I had chambered the first round getting out of the truck I had ridden the bolt forward trying to be quiet and forgot to slap the forward assist. I got it cocked again and was back on target. Lined up and squeezed. The cow was standing broadside to me facing left. I didn't hear an impact and they all just stood there. I figured I shot low so I held over a little and let another fly. My dad was with me and called that shot way high as he saw it explode through a cedar tree branch. I lowered back to my original point of aim and fired again. This time she stumbled a little and turned facing uphill with her back and ass to me. Hit her again my dad says to me. I aim center of her back and squeeze another off. This time the whole hillside erupts with elk we had no idea were even there. She jumped to the right behind some trees. Up the hill we go, adrenaline pumping and heading straight up to where she had been. Lots of blood splatter. I followed her trail a whopping 20ft where I found her wrapped up in a cedar tree. We pulled her to the clearest spot we could find and let her slide down the hill. It took about 45 min to get her down to the truck where we gutted her out and loaded in the back. I hit her with 3 shots. 2 right next to each other straight through the left ribs and out the right shoulder, and the one just left of her spine that went through her lungs and out her right chest area. I really thought the first shot had missed but nope. We got her back to camp and got her skinned. It was so cold out the blood was freezing in sheets on our knives and looked like red wax. Got her quartered and packed up. I spent all of last night butchering and still have to deal with cutting up a few parts I saved for my dogs. This was the second time I've been drawn for elk and my first kill. I'm so stoked it all worked out and was a successful hunt after last years let down. I learned a few things. Most importantly, I need more scope. Lol. I have a leatherwood cmr 1-4x24 mounted right now and while I love thts optic I really could have used an 8x. So it looks like this rifle will be getting some new glass to swap back and forth depending on use. Equipment used: PWS Mk216, leatherwood cmr 1-4x optic, Barnes 168gr ttsx. I'll get a picture loaded when I get them from my dad.

I may be in on a complete upper.

There is no way in hell I'd pay for that thing when I can fire just as fast without it. I'll take a nice Gieselle at half the price.

If Dick wasn't such a Dick and was more of a freedom loving patriot he would still have a job. As it is, Dick is just an unemployed dick now who probably still doesn't understand what his dumb old ass did wrong. -
It is absolutely appalling what passes as "food" these days. I miss my garden damn it.

That's awesome that there is something like that you two can bond over. The step dad thing isn't easy sometimes. My sternum hurts remembering a back flip fail I pulled off in grand fashion as a kid. Popped 8 ribs loose with that one.

Apparently she really doesn't like men very much and tried to voodoo us all via your coin purse. I hope she didn't get a tip. :) -

That's the best deal I've seen this month. Do you do special group rates? -
That would be a great ak for a shooter. A little heavier than a standard AKM pattern but overall usually a decent buy. Glad to see prices coming back down. There's local stores here selling that same setup for $700 something. The original m70 kits that came in had some awesome stock carvings, 90210 stickers and other weird things on them from going through the war. Cool history pieces.

I paid $199-249 a piece for Romanian sar1,2 & 3 rifles back in 99-03. At one point I looked in the closet and realized that 12 Romies was way too many. Ammo was $69/1k at the time and we'd shoot a K each almost every weekend when it wasn't 110*+ outside. One of my sar1's had easily 40k plus down the tube. We let everyone and anyone shoot that pig and she just kept banging away.

Totally get an AK. I've massively scaled back my ak collection and sold all of my sks rifles, but I will always keep my M92 SBR and my Polish underfolder AKs. My polish is a 1.5-2in rifle and my yugo is just a ton of fun. A standard ak should print around 3-4 inches if its a decent one, and 4-15in if its built like poop with a bad barrel in it. Occasionally you will get a gem like my polish. If you want a krink style look at the yugo PAP pistols, they are a good price for the current market and so far have been decent quality from what I've seen. Other than that arsenal is good on the higher end and there are plenty of builds floating around. www.atlanticfirearms.com should have a decent selection of good builds as well. I know they used to be picky about whose builds they sold, hopefully they still are. If you just want a blaster that works but is ugly like my sister get a wasr or some other Romanian derivative. I've had several that worked fine, shot 4-6in and were decent guns other than looking like monkey hammered scrap metal. They're much more useful and reliable than an sks and a whole lot lighter. I also have never been afraid to run mine hard, dump it in gravel and mud and keep going with it. An sks I'd get all weird and sentimental with and want to baby it. I love them, but not as a hard use rifle.

On the ear ringing issue, I was told for years by doctors to get used to it and there was nothing that really worked to stop it. I could try various drugs to stop it but the docs recommended against it as they caused side effects worse than ear ringing. I had constant left ear ring along a a stabbing sharp pain every couple of minutes for several years. Then one day I joked about it to my Accupuncture guy and he yelled at me for not telling him sooner. A couple needles in the back if my head and the ringing went away for 8months. Another treatment then and I haven't had ringing in over 2 years now. If you are in az I can get you the guys name. -
I've run Federal, Lake City, Barnes, Winchester of multiple types, Remington, and lots of Freedom munitions ammo without issue. The only other ammo that has ever flattened a primer in my gun was the Federal 7.62x51 tracer. The CBC is inconsistent enough and I've seen enough pressure complaints now that I won't be bothering with it again. It is also the first ammo to ever cause a failure in my gun, let alone repeated consistent failure.

I shot 50 rounds of this m80 today. All from the same box. The first 20rd mag fed, fired and ejected flawlessly. All the brass looked fine. The second 20rd mag full short stroked every single shot, jamming every time. I figured I had a bad mag after the first 6 shots so I dumped the ammo and stuck it in the other known good pmag. Same short stroking issue. The ejected brass, if it actually ejected fully would fall right beside me. All of that brass had more aggressive extractor marks on it. It all had flattened primers. The last mag of 10rds fed, fired and ejected perfectly again, just like the first mag full. 22 of the cases have flattened primers and heavy extractor marks. The rest look perfectly fine. I also ran 80rds of lake city after that without a single issue. I only had this one box I bought to test for range ammo but won't be buying it again. This rifle hasn't had a single issue with anything else.

I'm sure her really hot friends don't mind you looking at them. -
Good luck with everything. I hope everything goes well, all your nurses are hot as hell, and the first thing you see when you come out of anesthesia is a magnificent set of melons leaning over you.

There is nothing better than spring time in Tempe around the campus. Slüts are the best. -
No more 115 grain UMC until "spring 2014" while they retool for larger runs of it. I miss seeing it on shelves for 9.99-11.99 a box.

Personally I'd much rather face a gun at close range than a knife. I've been cut. It sucks. If it ever happens again I hope I get the chance to bury the sob that does it to me. For me the first rule of knife fighting is run like hell the opposite direction.

Your body adjusts, you just have to push through the pain for a bit.
