I have a 91/30 and I know how to engage the safety.... the safety is in the bolt itself. And I have found that they are either really loose or really tight, the one on mine is very tight to pull back but it works.

Yeah, mine's a little stiff. It's pretty much a range toy anyway so it's not a big deal.

Might be SOL. Whatcha need it for? AKS has G10 in blocks up to 1" thick. Or you can always layer up some thinner micarta, that works OK if you do it right.

Full size Becker scales this time around. I may end up using a liner or choose a different color or material. I have found brown and black in thicker stock, but no luck with green.
 
Bought a bottle of Bulleit Kentucky bourbon whiskey the other day, really enjoyed it. Anyone else a fan?

All this talk of Mosin's got me kicking around the idea of getting another for a project...for about 10 seconds until I realized I could buy a decent brand new bolt action for just the cost of the base rifle and an archangel stock.

Plenty of vids and write-ups about how to lighten the Mosin's trigger at home without spending $100 or making it unsafe. If I just added an over travel stop to mine it would be pretty nice as-is. Not much creep or take up and not very heavy either, just about 9 feet of over travel.

Very cool. My dad taught me to shoot with a 10/22 he bought new many years ago. Back in '04 I bought my own 10/22, my dad was deployed in Iraq at the time with the Oregon National Guard. He made it home a little worse for wear and with severe PTSD, he didn't want anything to do with guns so he gave me the 10/22 I learned to shoot with. Not quite a year after he had got back he finally expressed an interest in getting back into shooting so we went out with the 10/22, my ruger P95dc I had just got and my SKS. It was getting pretty close to his birthday so after we got back from that range trip I gave him back that 10/22 as a birthday present and he still has it. Hopefully that gun will become an heirloom that will be handed down through the family, if me or my brother ever have kids. My brother learned to shoot with it too so he has as much claim to it and I'd be more than willing to let him have it when the time comes, as long as he understands the value of it, which I think he would.

That's cool. I learned on one as well. The 10/22 in the video is 20 or so years old. They are easily the most recognized 22 on the market.

They're pretty much the best, at least for an all-around .22. I put tech-sights and a volquartzen hammer kit on mine. Doubled the cost of the gun but it's a sweet shooter. The factory sights were a little too low for me so the taller tech-sights are perfect. I'm thinking about a butler creek folding stock.

Yeah, I like it just fine. Higher-than-normal amounts of rye in the mash bill gives it a nice bit of spiciness. Their straight rye (green label) is pretty dang good too.

I was amused to see they used Bulleit bottles in the HBO series "Deadwood" quite a bit... I guess because the label looks old timey.

I think Derek needs to add "NO CHATTING" to the beginning of the title. Perhaps in the middle too: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...fications-and-Inspirations-Thread-NO-CHATTING!

I know it seems a bit silly, but having the chat component in its own thread does make it a lot easier to browse through the main thread without seeing the same dang picture quoted six times on one page with people going "Yeah that's cool". :rolleyes:

I think that's why he does that, anyway. Maybe he's just drunk with power. Or just drunk. :p

I agree, I wasn't being facetious.

Morning. While going through some music for Todd's thread I decided to post a vid of a song that was written for the BK9

Who knew rock stars loved it as much as us...

I know it's trendy to hate on those guys for selling out, but I like 'em quite a bit. One of the few big-shot radio bands that actually knows their way around a drum set and fretboard. Also,

>It's my oldest daughter's 13th birthday today! Bacon, blueberry sauce cooking on the stove, pancakes on the pad.... Only bummer is I get to do all the cooking, and I'll be lucky if there's anything left but scraps of bacon by the time I get done being the scullery monkey. Birthday girl has her priorities straight, at any rate.... bacon first!

Lets be honest... it's exactly what they call it "the music business". I don't hold judgment for anybody that wants to further themselves in life or career.

Right on, as long as they're not straight ripping people off, more power to 'em. Same goes for Justin Beiber. I can do without his "music" but no one's forcing me to buy it ;)
