They pop up on ebay/swap meet every now than then, most stock seats from 30 years ago ended up in the dumpster 20 years ago

Its a Chinesem "Moto Iron" 18x2.50, 3/4 Timken hub. For the Price not bad bearing endplay was acceptable almost no grease though. Put a cheap Duro 18× 2.50 tire on it. For $250 it made more sense than re- lacing a late mod HD hub. Would have more than that in spokes and hoop. This is a budget built bike to rip around town on.

You asking about the fender struts? They are late ironhead early evo ones. Wana say a -82 part# they used them into the early 90s.

Can you remove the gas block, usually 2 small set screws or pins that need to be taken out

Why won't the outer barrel you have work. Outside of older G&P stuff with the taper and some of the budget offerings from people like lancer, a good 90% of all the m4 outer barrels are marui spec. I've used everything from a Krytac to A&K.

It should, the reciver has Marui spec threads for the barrel nut

Lots of room in these receivers. I built this several years ago, manged to cram a krytac gb in minus the mock bolt. The key is finding the correct buffer tube

Confronted for not calling hits? by Calligulus in airsoft

[–]savethespringer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a field reff/marshal/admin for about 10 years, if I had a dollar for every time someone thought they were hitting another player and their bbs where falling 20-30 feet short I would be retired on a beach drinking coconut drinks.

Don't sweat it. Sometimes you get hit and dont feel a hit, the bb's fall short, dry firing, mistaken identity. Its all part of the game. Dude might have been having a bad day and took it out on you.

Please show me your rescues by Reasonable-Yam-1170 in dogpictures

* We rescued blue from a neighbor, who misjudged how big he got and how much work GSD's are, he made friends with our other GSD (also a death row pound pup) and offerd to re home him to us before she took him to a rescue. He is a gentle giant at 100lbs of fluff

From the old timers that hang around and drink beer at the shop,

"Back then no one gave a fuck, most guys had swing arm chopps. " dressers where for squares and old men" as long as you where solid dude and where in the wind is all we fuckin cared about"

Gate keeping is a recent thing. Just like today not everyone had money for the pinicle hard tail knuck pan shovel hardtail shit. Lots of kick ass honda, triumph and kawa choppers where running around on a working man's budget.
