Butch Cassidy posted:Thankfully, no. The receiver bridge is an earlier type and it also lacks the little button to retain the bolt head introduced with the No. 4 and used on the No. 5...is that a round cocking piece? Looks like a standard SMLE Mk III or III* action.

Honestly except for the part where he can't put a scope on the rifle I kind of dig it. I'd never do it myself, but just watching him handle it he appears to have made some pretty significant improvements to its functionality as a gun. There isn't really that much there to call "tacticlol" That said, you could do the exact same thing with any random $100 pre-bubba'd piece of milsurp you choose to name and probably end up with a nicer over-all gun.

I'm not sure this should go here, but by golly it should go somewhere.  It would probably be cooler if the frame was still stainless. LifeSizePotato fucked around with this message at Aug 20, 2012 around 22:42 |

TheRagamuffin posted:What am I looking at here (aside from the fact that it looks like you'd have to brace it against your crotch to fire)? Did someone try to build themselves a PTRD? That's surely a long-eye-relief scope so the sight picture is OK. Whether it's appropriate for the gun is another matter but v  vI kind of like it, but it demonstrates some bad design in a variety of ways, like the tons of bolts holding the stock and crap together. It looks like total overkill which is bad design because it is not needed, meaning it adds weight and cost without adding any strength. I also kinda like the pistol SKS, looks like it's been basically converted to a straight-pull 7.62x39 pistol.

Saint Darwin posted:Every loving time, I cringe Aw, someone already beat me to my "Incredible, Regrettable Mosin" project! I'm doing something similar with an M44. Already cut off the barrel just behind the collar, removed the rear sight, cut down the stock at the front, and put on my ATI bent bolt handle and scope mount that I bought years ago before I knew how dumb it was. Right now I'm working on getting the butt cut square so I can get a recoil pad installed on it. The difference: I'm going old-school classy! Bought some white oak planks from Home Depot, and I'm going to laminate them into a block for the nose of the stock, and using one or two as a spacer behind the stock between the stock and the butt pad (since there's no pistol grip to put a cap on). Best case, I'll enjoy it more than I did before I modified it. Worst case? I just made everyone else's M44s worth more.

Oh, but sir, it gets better. The (slightly) unmodified original.  Sweet action action.  Two scopes, so if your first one fails, you have a backup.  The flashlight is really just for balance, obviously.

I've never posted in TFR before and don't know anything about guns, but I just saw this press release in my inbox and thought of you guys:quote:Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a shooting incident that occurred at the Tri County shooting range on Saturday around 5:00 pm. According to Indiana Conservation Officer Nathan Hooley, Joseph Miretti was firing his Ruger 22/45 MKII pistol which Joseph had altered by mounting a vertical foregrip to it. This type of foregrip is typically used on AR-15 type rifles. Joseph was firing the pistol when he went to adjust his left hand, which was holding the attached foregrip. While doing so, Joseph’s left index finger found its way in front of the muzzle while Joseph continued to fire the pistol. After shooting himself, Joseph was transported to the hospital where he lost the tip of his left index finger. Officer Hooley stated this incident could have been avoided had Joseph not altered the pistol by attaching a piece of equipment that was not designed to be used in the manner which Joseph used it.

Yup, a VFG on a pistol makes it a Short Barrel Rifle, which is a NFA item that requires a tax stamp to own, which means paying $200 and going through fingerprinting and a background check and all that stuff. Of course, it could be possible he went through the process, but I doubt it.

Of course, it could be possible he went through the process, but I doubt it. It's actually an AOW. A short barreled rifle has to have a stock, or have had a stock in the past (thus making it a rifle).

This reminds me of a story (maybe there was video?) of a guy firing a MAC-10 with a long barrel shroud that had a VFG on it. At some point the VFG slides off and the guy shoots himself in the back of the head.

However, randomly once each week he will receive a phone call or some random stranger will approach him and humiliate him. It'll just be pointing and laughing, probably also pointing out how he can't point. Or a telephone call of somebody just cracking up or a recording of a gunshot and some redneck voice saying something like "I done shot mah fanger off!".
