ross, do you think that aimpoint red dot is worth $400 ?

I don't know anything about them.  I only have one rifle with glass on it, and its my hunting rifle.

is a tig welder the one that is wire fed ? like a small wire that goes through the nose of the welded ? or the one with the stick ?

totally different.  It has an electrode that you use to strike an arc with on hand, and then fill with a rod with your other hand.  The ones I've seen control the heat with a foot pedal.

Good morning everyone -

[Angie]

Morning

[saigon1965]

I am running late like always - Should of been on the road already -

How's everyones morning? Need coffee?

[Frijolito1988]

What time do you leave here saigon?

[saigon1965]

I am wrapping things up here at work - Have to pay taxes for 3rd quarter - Do some more stuff then the road - Trying to get out soon to beat LA traffic -

What time do you leave here saigon?

[saigon1965]

It'll be awhile - Just don't have the time to get out -

Been thinking about refinishing the stock though - I need to go read up on that.

Saigon, when are you gonna shoot the Garand?

[saigon1965]

Sounds groovy - Shall we plan -

Frijolito, they were a bitch to make, but if you have the right tools it is not to bad. You have to press reciver onto barrel, using a barrel clamp and headspace gauge, a lot of filing and fiting to get the bolt carrier on, tig weld the brake on, parkerizing, painting.

Crap, between the tools Ross has and I have we could all have a VZ build party. It would not take more that a weekend to pump out one for each of us (minus the paint).

It may not necessarily have to be TIG, but anything to attach the brake. De-mill is cutting, or pressing the barrel out, and that is about it. Need a sand/bead blaster too, unless we just worry about finish until later.

You may be better off with a brake incase you decide to go featureless. There is not a very big selection of brakes and FH because they are the oppostite thread of an AK. RH-LH.

Oh yeah, and you have to be carefull when ordering a parts kit. The ones from ORF may already have the barrel pulled. That is a good thing. Because the barrel varied wildly in diameter and some fit too loosely into the receiver and are not a press fit. If you go with ORF, they will make sure the barrel you get will fit properly. When ordering a receiver, they will ask what your barrel diameter is.

how was the hunt mr.fudge

Hot dog.

I'm here now.

Yesterday recap, no ducks nor geese. Just coots and my dog got sprayed by a shunk. The duck blind was under water but we did shoot 7 big (Im stupid) coots. It was a good workout for my dog. Since the water level was a little higher she had to actually swim and to retieve the down bird.

[Gunaria]

For Sai65, did you pick up a Garand yet?

Here's a Pho shop review for you and everybody else, the Pho Express in Riverside off of Main St. I would have to give that place a thumbs down the more I think about it. The Dac Biet, house special wasn't all that special. It seemed to be missing somethings. What I have learned and been thought by Viet's that every Pho place is different and some are just better than others. I will give the Pho Express this, it was the cleanest Pho eatery I have ever been in. But I would exchange cleaningness for more taste anyday of the week.
