I have 2 mosin nagants and a pump shotgun that i left with a friend when i deployed to iraq. Would like to get them back now... but I moved to a different state. (Texas) What's the deal... do i have to have him ship them to an FFL first here? then go pay the transfer fee on my own guns? If...

I bought it off the internet and had it shipped to his gunstore while i was in iraq. it was a present for him Grease, eh? man i guess I don't know **** about M1's. Us young soldiers with our plastic-fantastics. LOL OK. So, check the op-rod, grease, surplus M2 ammo. Check :-) Thanks

sure thing. thanks all

we are using commercial ammo.. didn't realize we shouldn't.... I'll stop immediately. It only had about 2 boxes through it. some of it worked, some didn't. I'll get some surplus GI stuff immediately, and see if that solves my problem.

went shooting my grandpa's M1 that i bought him while i was overseas, and we're havin a bit of trouble. I did a search, but only found an article about this problem happening while charging the weapon... not while firing. The charging handle (op-rod? not sure what terms to use here.) pops...

Just like the title. Due to some retardation on my part, i need a sear spring for my xd45. Anyone know of a shop in the area that might carry it? Or perhaps someone in the area who upgraded theirs have the original spring they'd be willin' to part with. BTW: I'm finally back from iraq and...

Paul if possible, but if he drops out i'll support richardson

More reasons why I will not return to the People's Republic of California

if a baby can get one, so could a criminal. Reason #4,058,385 why bullcrap like this does NOT deter crime

Heh. Not a yale or princeton type nitwit. I'm more the "started at state, changed to online to complete degree in Iraq" nitwit. Thanks for the info. CHL being a priority, it's great to have an idea where to go right away. It's amazing the change in cost of living from san diego... I paid 1300...

Well, my time in Iraq is finally coming close to the end. I have less than 2 months left, and a good section of that will be sitting around "waiting" to leave once our replacements take over the mission. That said, I'm not returning to the People's Republik of California, I'll be moving to...

Quote: "I actually don't support the war or the troops. Volunteers, at this point, have had plenty of warning that they'll be be fodder for the economic and religious pissing matches the government sustains. Signing up with that knowledge is just aiding and abetting." Except for the...

Well, a surefire works well. Some are issued, but not one for every soldier. The batteries are readily available. I get cases at a time from my supply NCO The most useful "toy" i have over here is my ipod. I also have the Altec Lansing "tube" dock for it. It's a big long tube speaker thingy...

here in Iraq, at least in my unit, the powers that be pulled all the M9s from the vehicle crews to issue them to the HQ pukes. Now they don't have to carry their rifles to the chow hall, PX, etc. For those of us lucky enough to have kept them (or dumb enough to blatantly defy the "no personal...
