Lets see your toys!

My stuff has been greased, packed and put away 7 years ago. I'll take them out for a cleaning tomorrow and take some pictures. My wife doesn't like that stuff at all, even my knives, but I am working on her slowly but surely.

I couldn't figure what Xobeloot's was, is it real?

Mine is a paintball gun

[Sal1000us]

It doesn't have a plastic or toyish look to it tho. probably looks very real in dim light. You can scare the hell out of an intruder by a burst of 50-60 balls per minute..lol

I just run with a tipman 98 custom
my iron sight mini-14, the only mod to is is about $1 worth of tape on her butt so my cheek sits properly, on iron sights I hit around 145 yards very accurately past about 160 yards I allways get hyped up.

When I was in the Air Force using a crappy M-16 I shot with 95% accuracy and 2 misfires... yes, my perfect 100% was ruined by bad ammo and a crappy old M-16 that god only knows how well it had been maintained.

I wish I had the ability to keep my heart from racing, I've tried breathing techniques but only saw a marginal increase in accuracy. It's more of a hobby for me, I don't shoot that often.

Same crap happened to me, but with the M9. They stored these things in an ammo box all crammed together and stacked up...probably been knocked around for years like that... and apparently it knocked my sights off a little. The first 2 rounds I fired were like 8 inches low and to the right about 6 inches. I was having to aim at the left "shoulder" of the target to get them to hit center mass. I shot a 34/36, and that really gave me the red-ass. I kept saying to myself "who treats their weapons like that?!"

It took about two hours to get rid of the damn cosmoline but here is what I could clean for now and wife is calling to go outside help with the yard work so I gotta run :cry:



Sorry, picture got too big, will shrink & fix it later today...gotta run

[Condor]

Nice man, look to be well taken care of! Those are always fun to shoot, and after you hear one, you never forget the sound. Are you familiar with Saiga shotguns?

[Premium Parrots]

Nice set-up dude. And the armilite is a great weapon too. I almost bought one after I sold my Norinco 308 [the barrels are too soft and under massive use will warp, so I'm told]. I just sold 3000 rounds of the 308 ammo to my doctor 2 weeks ago. So I don't plan on gettting another 308. I have enough arms as it is. Getting older and moving I just don't feel the need to accuire more with what I already have. I was going to sell some more rifles but with the run on arms lately I think I'll wait, might just need to keep all of them. Keep em clean.

Too bad you can't paint it.

[Sal1000us]

Thanks guys, nothing like the arsenal you guys have. PP I didn't even know Norinco made a 308 (nato round?) mine is 7.62X39.

I have heard different stories about Norincos with stamped receiver not being very reliable but the ones with milled receiver are pretty solid. I've had mine since 1999 and it's been nib since then, never fired it.

Here is an almost 100 year old Spanish Alkar 6.35 caliber given to me by Grandpa before his passing 10 years ago. It is about 4.5" long. He also gave me a colt 1893 which I can't find at the moment. This one needs a good cleaning:

[Condor]

Those pistols have an interesting history.

[Premium Parrots]

7.62 x.39 is for a 308. I just call it 308 ammo so I don't have to remember the other numbers. 8)

[Sal1000us]

Oh, I see pp. After replying I thought maybe you were using .308 ammo in a 7.62X39mm chambered barrel. Maybe it is doable but I am not sure and haven’t tried it. I know .308 is a mighty ammo compared to 7.62X39mm but more $$.

Be very careful doing this, as pressure rating are different. refer to this:

Ouch, barrel explosion. thanks Condor. The two should NEVER be interchanged according to the site. It also says:

7.62mm = 50,000 psi pressure
.308 = 62,000 psi pressure

[Premium Parrots]

I thought it was the same. Wow they are freaking close tho. All I told my Doctor that bought all mine was that it was for a 308 and I gave him a box of shells to check out. He is REALLY a gun/survival nut so I know he knows exactly what he got, and thats what he wanted. He jumped on the deal of 3000 rounds and I made a few bucks xtra.


Now this may be why the Norincos have a bad rap, barrel or chamber wise. Maybe too many people were useing the more powerfull rounds and heating up the barrels or whatever. I was told the Norinco had to be heat treated [anneiled?] to hold up to rapid fireing. Whatever, I don't know that much. When I learned that info I simply sold the rifle. It was brand new and had never been shot. I sold it to my gun dealer and made several hundred $ over what I paid for it. So all is well.
