The CZickness III

[Birds Away]

Is a "Skosh" a known measurement like BPH or BPH or RPH which are actually known measurements in the racing world.

Those are 'Merican measurements. The international standard is one RCH.

I have a dilemma as well.
I am doing a serious project for a really good person. I will end up with another "Good" optic from this in partial trade so not having a long gun for it....well.....I have to get one.
Looking on the Rock River site last night at this Upper.....AR0575X

That you know and understand them is impressive.

I've been around a bit.

Same here. Only the goal is getting the bike back on the road instead of getting firearms operational...And building up another battle ready rifle.

Just a cheap, light, reliable, easy to throw around bike to putz around town on. Put too many hours into the engine and crank case to want to think about. And a good bit of time ripping off the stock junk that weighs these things down and makes them handle like a pig. I think I've dropped about 40 pounds off of her by my calculations so far.

I want to have all current projects completed and operational by the spring gala event.

Having spent SSSssssoooooooo many winters getting the current bike project up and going for the Daytona bike week I do not miss it. You think fire arms are expensive....Ha.
This is just the last one. All totaled I had over 60K in this if you count the 3 engines I destroyed getting the blower and nitrous combo to live. It did eventually work but damn it was costly.....but fast....I mean blow the tire loose in 2nd gear fast.



Then the race cars. I feel pretty good settling into Guns as my full time passion. Putting $1200 out for a bad ass CZ or 1911 was just a set of heads for a Harley.

Nice looking gun! Costs a bit of coin, $1400

Mine was 1400 (Shooters Connection) and that did not include any improvement in single action travel (no pre b disconnector or etc) or a fiber optic front sight. So it really was 1500 ish.

I measure sight radius on this gun at 7" (plus or minus 1/2 a skosh) and on my SP01 with aftermarket rear sight at 6.5" , not as much as I would have guessed from pictures.

You should definitely buy them as a set.......so you can sell them to me later.

Love it!

Yeah, I could see it getting out of hand. That's why I don't dare dip my toes into the Harleys... I definitely appreciate the bikes like yours (that springer front end is the bees knees and that thing looks mean as ****), but I definitely can't be dumping that kind of money into bikes. And I've been done with fast bikes for some time now. Sold all the crotch rockets a few years back. I'm just sticking with Jap bikes and bobbing them, which is cheap, and I like riding them. Typically I buy something under $1k that doesn't run. Then rip the engine apart, get it running like a champ, and strip off all the crap weighing it down and make it look good.

This current project should be a fun ride. It's got a short rear wheel base and a 650cc thumper engine (pretty good on the torque. Think 650cc dirt bike engine). Should be a blast in the curvy stuff and around town. It'll be terrible on the long strait stuff, though.

Next will be taking a dirt bike, making it "street legal" and motarding it (little slick tires and big brakes). Pretty much a wheelie and drifting machine.

Love it!

Having two full size polymer 9mm with 20 round capacities, full of Cajun goodness, couldn't be a bad thing, right?

Today is range day #2 for this week. My brother's Omega still needs a little tweaking. Have to make sure that the adjustments the Wizard made have stopped the hammer follow.

Stay up on 2 wheels as long as you can. I do miss the bikes.

Good reason to go I think.

I was going to send some rounds down range at CT-2's tomorrow but the weather my put the Kybosh on that.

Will definitely be chilly. Fortunately, CZs are designed to be used with gloved hands.

I'm going to get a second range trip this week as well. Meeting Hopper at Point Blank in Carmel on Sunday to shoot his VBOB. Can't wait

Ah, VBOB....

 

[seedubs1]

Guns are definitely a safer hobby...

[wtburnette]

Ah, VBOB....

My thoughts exactly. I'd love to pick a VBOB up, but I don't have the extra ~$600 that would cost over the CCO and I think the CCO will fit my carry needs better, as it's a bit smaller and lighter in weight.

I would love to have a VBOB, eventually.
