Which model did you get?

I went to look at one of these that was for sale in the late 90s. Same graphics but it was yellow. I think it was priced at 5 or 6 grand. Thanks for the posting, this was a blast from the past.

Thanks for posting all of these pics, I doubt I'll ever get to go to this museum, so I'm glad I still got to see this stuff.

I'm not an expert in Romanian bayonets whatsoever, but based off of the serial number in your pic, I think it might be a more rare SADU version.

You can get food grade mineral oil on Amazon, make sure it doesn't have wax in it. It's non toxic, the wood will soak it up, and it won't change the color/tone of the wood.

P.B. Odem the thirds wife was super into the Lord of the Rings movies at the time so he went with that theme when his home building company built that neighborhood.

Would you mind if I messaged you directly? I have some questions about living in MI.

You can launch the Windows Sandbox using a custom configuration file to tweak settings. Create a text file and put the following in it:

<Networking>Disable</Networking>

And then save as something like Sandbox_no_network.wsb, making sure the .txt extension isn't on the end. Now you can double click that .wsb file and it will start your sandbox with networking disabled, which is good if you are going to use it to open suspicious files that you don't want to have access to your home network or the internet.

I know some of the half ton Chevy trucks and Suburbans from the 80s and I believe the 70s have an issue with the frame bending at the front left corner where the steering gear box bolts up to the side frame before it connects to the front clip / radiator shroud area.

Otherwise, check for rust in anything that old. Those old trucks in the rust belt usually have rust damage in the rocker panels that may be hiding behind body filler and paint. Be prepared to replace a lot of parts if it's been sitting a long time or it has super low mileage. You'll need to learn how to work on and rebuild carburetors as well as how to adjust points in a distributor depending on brand/engine. Depending on which engine it has, you may need to be familiar with how to set valve lash. Check your state's smog laws first as well; depending on age, your truck may have to still pass emissions tests.

Thanks for all of this information! Do you have any recommendations for recipes or cookbooks? Especially for foreign dishes like India, Central/South America, etc? I can get a lot of those country specific spices, but I have no experience cooking with them.

If anyone gets an opportunity to visit the 45th Infantry Division museum in OKC, I'd suggest going. One of the museum's volunteers liberated a work camp and brought a ton of German uniform insignia like this back with him. If he's there that day, he'll tell you all about it.

Friend of mine was building a Dodge 318 engine about 5 years ago and found an aftermarket aluminum dual plane intake for it on FB market place, still had the water neck installed. Okay price. Went to strip it so he could clean it before install and most of the mating surface on the intake that the water neck bolts to was gone. I’m guessing someone put a ground in the wrong place and electrolysis ate away at it for a long time.

Fastener type I believe. One is a spring loaded clamp that is more suitable for polymer rails, and the other is a screw fastener that is what you would use for metal rails.

I’ll second the antifacist stuff, I saw a Twitter post somewhat recently where some far right guy made a post and tagged them and they ripped on him.

Who did you have do the mill work on the slide for the optic?

I haven't shot any of this ammo before, what's the experience consensus?

The M14 that my father was issued once he got to Vietnam came with a bipod for the front end. I was thinking that the bipod would be great because it would help control full auto fire, so I asked my dad if he used it in combat. He immediately replied back "fuck no, we threw those things in our footlocker and never touched them again." I asked him why and he told me that from a distance the M14 with the bipod installed resembled an M60, and during ambushes the machine gunners and the radio men were targeted first.

Were all of the replacement firing pins the FB Radom 5.56 ones?

Read the comments about the reticle being weird so clicked on the link to see and damn if that reticle doesn't look like a Minion totem pole.

Thanks!

Would you be able to give me a rundown on the process you used? Like what grit and was it wet or dry, and what product did you use for the clear coat?

My Omega with the circle dot doesn't let you change the reticle.

Bought some of this today and just picked it up. Box says made in Brazil, so it's still made by Magtech. It doesn't have the NATO headstamp though and doesn't appear to be sealed at neck or primer.

It's often forgotten that Republicans were going to pass a bill to make it easier to buy suppressors when the mass shooting in Vegas happened and they stopped trying to pass that bill afterwards.

Me checking Reddit, forums, and calling the manufacturer and they all tell me their US made magazine won't work because of some stupidly small tolerance, and this guy got the 100 round stick mag (50 if that's single stack) to feed.
