Nope not mine, just a training aid for Jawbreaker. I had an M-14 back in the late 70's. Had it glass bedded and NM parts through out (a buddy in the AMTU), all done for a few bottles of good scotch. (I sold it. I know, a mistake.)

Yup. But it sucks for a backdrop. You can barely see the Kimber.

Oh thanks.. SMOKIN joe. Now you are the picture guru? HAHA I took that in haste to prove I had not been attacked by the MTV "pimp my gun" show on EVERY weapon. It was taken spur of the moment. LOL

Thumbs up

Trust me... I laugh at myself when someone(TR/TS) puts things so clearly. Just reading those posts made me feel like such a "17 yr old wanna-be D-boy" for having that gun.. I got a good laugh at myself too.

I earned the bashing on this thread, I admit it. I still like the little SS mini-14.. its a fun little hunting wild hogs on foot/plinking at targets type gun.

Joe, I would NEVER hold a grudge... I just get even.

Pistol is fine. Let the hammer down, though, unless you are photographing a locked and loaded weapon.

As for the rifle, postban is not one of my favorites. You need to remove the blast enhancer from the muzzle. Non-standard mag? I don't trust them.

May I instruct you on the proper use of light, and inform you that the cute little light you have with the curly fry cord is nothing but a bullet magnet? Is that attached with a shotgun mag tube clamp? Were they all out of radiator hose clamps and Ray-O-Vacs?

Turn loose of some of that dental money and get another real flashlight like the Surefire in your pic, a 6P if necessary, with a tape switch and a 1" scope ring. Then get a RIS, RAS, ARMS SIR, or other quad rail foreend and hang your accessories there, not on the barrel.

Can provide a few other helpful tips, if needed.

TR

TR-
So now you WANT me to gucci up my new pimp gun? LOL

Thanks for the advice, Sir. I am currently working on an aimpoint, quad rail which free floats the barrel and a surefire weapon mounted light.

Any other things you would recommend are always accepted by this jawbreaker.

curley fries chord, hose clamps, bullet magnet... you are making me infamous in this thread... dammmit!! haha

Naw Boss, not out. They're in his other trailer.

I peed my pants laughing again.

Nice weapons jawbreaker (Bubba). You now officially have the feva.

I would hold out for a good AR15 clone, like Armalite, Bushmaster, or Rock River.

Go to Auction Arms or Gunbroker.com or the printed "Gunlist" and check real world prices.

Good luck.

Anyone know what is involved in getting an FFL?
