When I first saw it, I thought "Oh, someone bought the "The Home Workshop .50 Sniper Rifle"." Now, I just think they bought that, and then found out how much .50 BMG costs (asnd possibly they couldn't find the needed parts), so they used the "gunsmith special" Finn Mosin from Shady Frank's Pawn and Fence Emporium. If the opening wasn't loving ridiculous, I'd bid a dollar for the hell of it. ...because $1 for that is only *really* ridiculous, not loving ridiculous.

Look at the quality of the engraving in the close-up, the precision-stippled frontstrap, and the beautifully-fitted trigger shoe. I wouldn't call him a gunsmith... Oh, and remember, according to the auction description, this is "mint". That's certainly what the wear at the front of the slide says to me.

Miso's Sharkfin AK originally had an M249 gas-piston thing added; later, he tried AR flash-hiders on the ambi-handle. Regarding the "bolt" bolt-handle - did Cyrano4747's dad do that? I know he did a steel nut added to the hammer or a muzzleloading rifle...

15-minutes or else. I'd rather check every so often and see if I win or if I need to bid again, instead of camping the  , desperately praying that my connection will allow me to sleaze one more bid in at the last second.Bidsniping is wonderful for the seller, and people who are good at it/use software. It's so popular there's even auction sites specifically designed for it - I forget what the one was, charliebravo77 was trying to get a camera from it earlier this spring, I think. Something about bids in increments of a penny only, but you had to pay for each bid (some token-system or something, cb77 probably remembers better than I do). Of course, if there's a Buy It Now option and the price is within reach, I'll go that way instead.

Supposedly, that's why the one guy can sell the "bringback Volksturm-modified" 12"-barreled Gew88. Between my not knowing for certain, and certainly not being sure that Washington State's No Fun Allowed restrictions would allow it, means I didn't spend the $130 or whatever as a gag gift for Cyrano4747. No one else seems willing to test it, either, as I first saw that back in like April or so, I think.

Thought it was a Glock 9? (Edit - nope, 7. I'd've checked, but I was at work and away from my videos.) Awesome idea, though - once you need a support for mobility, to use the required support as a defensive weapon! Someone tries to mug you, you whip the blade out... ...and fall over because you now don't have a support, or it's not too short to use without hunching over. More amusing would be Mas Ayoob's story of the wheelchair-using man who modified his armrest to be easily removed, with the post now being sharpened steel.

At a previous ISO certified job, we used to have a note on the bulletin board (which disappeard about time the ISO audit came  ) noting that if the specs call for solid concrete to be used for life jackets, as long as you follow the specs you're golden.The job after that didn't have ISO, but rather a rabbinical oprganisation coming through to vet us as legally "kosher". Guess which one I felt more impressed by? (Especilally after my plastics plant job, also ISO-certified; all kinds of scrap and waste going on because the paperwork was full of stupidity and outdated information. I really wish the auditors had come by when we were running one part, since the instructions had details that had been observed during the first prototyping run, and had been fixed *years* ago. "Why aren't you doing this, as the book says? "I've never seen the illustrated occurance, and even my supervisors have never seen the tool to be used."  Stoopid people...)

1964 and earlier is the cutoff date for actual silver content in US coinage. They still pop up in your change from time to time, so if it wounds "funny", it might be worth looking at the date. (Or to see if the copper part of the metal sandwich is showing on the rim.)

I'm fairly certain I've posted the S&W M1917 (Brazilian) in OR that needs work and at least screws (possibly more), where it's been relisted forever and even at $375ish hasn't made reserve... I really think that a) he overpaid out the rear end for a busted gun and wants to recover his investment, or b) he saw some high sales for the same gun (in decent/working condition) and he's gonna be *damned* if he don't get that much. I fully expect to see it relisted next year at this time.

Gewehr 43 posted:In the same vein, I have a customer buying a Luger from me. It's his first interstate transaction, so he was contacting FFL's in his area about a transfer. The first guy he called was rather brusque with him and said "It's too much paperwork and I don't have the time." Must be a rich and busy man if he can't spare 10 minutes to make $25. I'm up here in Spokane, WA, about 20 miles from the Idaho line. There's a local pawnshop chain that has stores in both states, and I *had* made a habit of checking out the ID side stores when I was in the area - that's where I got my Chinese-clone Ithaca 37 for $65. Couple weeks back, I spot an Uberti Millenium Cattleman, .45 LC, 4 3/4ths inch barrel, in pretty nice condition. With holster. For $250. In Idaho. Kids running that shop wouldn't even *talk* about shipping to my FFL, or even transferring it over to the WA side. So, I stop at my local shop, and talk to the guy there, who says he'd run it past the district manager but that it was certainly doable. A full week later (original guy had gone on vacation), I hear back: "Oh, we can't do that, it's too much bother to bring it over."  I would have paid the entire thing in cash the day I found it, and paid off the shipping as soon as they told me what it would be. I would have paid $50+ on top of list if they'd brought it over to one of the Washington stores, for me to cash'n'carry it out. "Nope. Can't take yer money, too much like work..." The day after, I ended up paying $395 for a different Uberti (Cimarron Model "P", 5.5", .45 LC, colour case-hardened/charcoal blue), and 44 rounds of ammo (partial box). That shop even kicked the price down, not to mention giving me near 50% discount on the ammo. And (after doing paperwork and presenting my CHL), I walked out the door with it. Guess they liked my money just fine...
