The hardest part about getting a suppressor is waiting for the ATF to get the paperwork back to you.

Gearing up for a good Football game tomorrow. With any luck the Colts will win, and we can end this nonsense talk about the Saints being "America's team."

On a lighter note.

I refinished several firearms the other day with Duracoat. I used the color ABU Dark Gray Green which matchs my ABUs, and I think it turned out very well. My Bushmaster/Colt/Armalite AR-15, Ruger 10/22, S&W model 19-5. I decided to color match the firearms for no particular reason other than I thought it would look good, and I think they do.

I went out and enjoyed the amazing warm weather the other day and ran 40 rounds though the M48. Every time I shoot this baby im impressed by the smoothness of the action (for the price) and how accurate the iron sites are. Reminds me of the classic muscle car. When you pull it out of the case/garage everyone is interested but they make remarks like that's cool, old school, cool but lacks performance. Then you hit the range/road and just take it easy for a while letting them build up there confidence. Then you let all the stops out and peel rubber shifting into 4th and leaving them to eat your dust. Refreshing to see the old preform on the same level with the new.

M48

So I bought a Yugo M48 8mm Mauser last week at the gun show and finally am getting around to putting up some pictures. So far ive done some plinking at 75 yards and eliminated quite a few of those evil mountian dew cans that haunt my house.

LCR

2009-01-18T07:37:00.000-08:00

SO Ruger is taunting me with the new LCR, and so far its working. I just got a nice email from them and thought id share the amazing picture it had of it. Apparently its coming in March which is a bummer seeing as how I wont be able to get one until December but ill let other guys make sure it works ok before I sink my money into one. I like S&W and all but im really exicted that someone might just finally be giving them a run for the money.

LCR

2009-01-14T08:17:00.000-08:00

Ok Ruger has knocked my socks off with the new LCR. LCR .38 Special Plus P five-shot pocket revolver. Cool thing is that it used polymer on a lot of the frame making it nice and light (way to early to see how it holds up). Kinda early to see to much but it is supposed to MSRP at $525 and a laser grip model coming in at $792.

As im waiting for the SHOT show to come and go I ponder a prediction that Steve made and that I am hoping comes true.

A 9mm Ruger LCP. I have always wanted a 380 one but would defiantly buy one in 9mm (just so I don't have to buy both another caliper of ammo. I would probably go crazy trying to get one, as it is hard to carry around the ole 5906 in warmer weather (well not an issue right now but come summer and it will be). Im a big ruger fan and while I only have a 10/22 I am just dieing to get my hands on a mini (for a decent price) instead of the AR, SKS or AK platform.

Fleetwood

2009-01-01T12:33:00.000-08:00

So I was wandering around my local car graveyard looking for some parts for my car when I see this mysterious looking car thingy. A closer look revealed a 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood. An even closer look revealed a 8.2 liter V8 (gulp). All wrapped up in a nice compact 20-25 foot long package. Needless to say it was quite the interesting car.

GO COLTS.
If anyone didn't watch the last game we shut out the Titans 23-0, o that makes me feel good.

Merry Christmas to yall.

Still looking

2008-12-15T15:59:00.001-08:00

I've been looking for a .410 pistol for a few weeks and so far ive had no luck. For some strange reason im drawn to the cheapo models. Id love to get the Super Comanche because it is legal to hunt with (if I ever wanted to) but again the idea of a gun that shoots a shell almost 3/4 its size just fascinates me.

Springfield

Got my trusty ole 1903a3 out to play yesterday and further developed a bond with the old gun. In a world that is dominated by tacticool guns, and ARs (even I have a AR) a 1944 gun can still slug it out with the big boys. Also I don't think people realize how satisfying it is to shoot iron sights and be able to hit what your aiming at at 100+ yards. Way cooler than using a scope at 500 *in my humble unbiased opinion.* Anyways it a plastic and synthetic world it is nice to have a solid chunk of wood and steel that can still out shoot em all. I got my 5906 and it outshoots any plastic pistal Ive ever shot, and my 1903 outshoots any plastic rifle that ive ever shot, Im seeing a trend here.

AR-Lower

2008-12-06T09:43:00.000-08:00

I got my AR-15 lower put together. I not have a complete lower half and just need my top half and ill be ready to rock and roll. I surprised myself with how easy it was and how much money you can save by doing it yourself. And I'm loving the Pmags from Magpul, they are amazing.

S&W 5906 9mm

2008-09-24T13:53:00.000-07:00

So this Friday I will become the proud owner of a new/used Smith and Wesson 5906. It will replace my SW9VE Sigma as my carry/car gun. Sad thing is that I spend most of my time on a college campus here in Indy so I wont be able to carry it all that often (im not really wanting to get a felony record any time soon).
