Man, Eldred Township is having an awful run of luck this weekend with cars running into disabled semis, killing the driver, ejecting an unidentified passenger, and so on:

Saturday was beautiful down here in Louisville. Warm temps for a change on not a cloud in the sky. I spent most of the day getting the transmission out of my Shovelhead with the intention of replacing the output shaft seals, which leak oil as if there's no seals or gaskets of any kind present...
Good luck with your hunt. Take a little time to investigate both the good and bad aspects of each model and try to decide which compromise works best for you. My friend bought a new Fat Boy back in '02 and talk about your gorgeous bikes! The sales brochures don't seem to mention the effect wind...
Don't forget, you can also help this issue by using the heavier M16 full-auto bolt carrier in carbine-length uppers. Mid length is better, IMHO, but the heavier carrier will calm things down a bit if only a carbine length will suit you.
Yeah, I'd pretty much avoid Cheaper Than Dirt like the plague. I've had nothing but splendid results in dealing with Palmetto State Armory and for a general purpose carbine upper, would look to something like this:

I've dealt with CS several times and found them to be totally straight up. Don't bother with email, just call them. You'll get a real person and they will advise what is available, what's not, and when shipments are scheduled for arrival. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them tonight if they...
I don't think these people actually "do" war zones. They issue statements saying they are "deeply troubled" by events in ________ and call it a day. People who have actually "done" war zones tend to have zero use for this asshattery, or at least that's been my experience with them as a group.
I have never NOT carried on Kentucky waters and have never caught so much as a cross glance from DFW officers. Of course, that has nothing to do with what the law says and how it may be interpreted on any given day by any given law enforcement officer. Being Kentucky though, I would not be one...
The XM177 (Mod 629) I was fortunate enough to work with had an 11.5" barrel and for the most part, functioned flawlessly and performed well downrange. I've been around some of the 10" weapons and have the general impression that they suck mud. That extra 1.5" of barrel apparently makes a huge...
I've never used the FA to beat the bolt closed, but it's been needed more times than I can count to get that last little fraction of movement to get one of these rifles into battery and operational. Dumping its gas system right into the feed system as it does, the FA is, IMHO, a most needful...
That's a great old Finn. Congrats on the obscure find! Nowhere near as rare, but I've got a 1939 M28/30 Sk.Y Sako with the D barrel that I've had for years, now. Love that rifle!
I love this one. My standard response is "Well, yes. Hillbillies with rifles have been giving the US Gov't fits since around 1964. Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, Afghanistan..."
I would seek out a specialist in the field. A dedicated collector with a long history of dealing with early S&W's. I am likely more familiar with these early revolvers than anyone I know personally, which is disappointing. Hopefully, someone else can chime in with a name or shop with the...
The original M16 and SP1 ARs didn't have a forward assist. Didn't take long to figure out they needed some way to drive the bolt and carrier that remaining tenth of an inch to home when the action was filthy with powder residue, dust, sand, etc., and that's when the forward assist was designed...
I think it may well be, but that's based on a couple of rather smallish pics on the internet. The 1917 was originally blued, but many were parkerized by S&W during factory refinishing in the WWII era. Yours has the look of the original S&W blued finish, but with lots of holster wear. The edge...
