If you keep watching Gunbroker you are going to need a part time job.

Yep, and a new safe.

Anybody here besides CM and me have M1A's?
I just posted a link in the longgun section about burrs developing in the chamber area on the left side, might want to check it out.

I did. Good info. My gun is right at 100 rds fired. Will be coming apart for clean/inspect soon.

I don't have a safe, but I ordered one of these. Kmart.com At the time I got it I had coupons, so I think I got it for $108. I'm going to put a padlock or some sort of cabinet lock on it. Not as secure as a safe, but will keep casual pilferers out.

I just read something about the 97s you probably need to be aware of.

 

[churchmouse]

Raining pretty good here now.

Is it that they are awesome and can be used as a bludgeon if you run of ammo?

Well, that too. Apparently the LCI can come unscrewed and be lost pretty easily. So, you have to either check it all the time or put a skosh dab of blue Loctite on it.

Dumb question. LCI?

 

[Birds Away]

Loaded chamber indicator.

Loaded chamber indicator.

Of course. Having one of those moments. For the life of me I couldn't think of what LCI would be.

Rain is picking up.

Read back a bit for some 97 info.

 

[Snapdragon]

No windows here, so who knows.

 

[GregD]

Checked the radar . . the rain should be here very soon.

 

[Birds Away]

Been raining steadily for a couple of hours.

 

[GregD]

The rain should be going nicely about the time I need to head out.
