Misc Firearms Crew XXVI: In Memory of Comrade Kalashnikov никогда не забыли

What other tools did they use, though, and how experienced were they?

When I hear somebody asking about a beginner with very basic tools, I don't picture somebody wanting to pay for a decent beam scale or calipers, case trimmer, etc, for example.

I could be wrong, but I don't see somebody setting records using a $20 electronic scale or simple powder dippers?

But hey, I like everything about my mk262 other than the cost...and reloading equivalent rounds to it for less $$$ is something I would like to do this year.

Bench rest shooters I think so I assume they were experienced in reloading.

Dippers are fine, I just use them to get close then fine tune after that. Dippers are under charged compared to what the reloading book says.

Harbor freight calipers were actually pretty good from the test I saw.

Lots of people jumped into the electronic scale band Wagon so a decent beam can be had for 20_40 used.

I think it could be done but I don't think a lot of people would actually put the time into it.



Start picking up the bullets, those seem to be the hardest to find or at least locally.

[Farley1324]

So I was reviewing my credit card, contemplating how stupid it would be to buy another suppressor (say a .22lr) + efile it on the credit card, and put in for another SBR, also e-file on the credit card, since I'm so damn impatient...

My available credit on the card I use for gun stuff is...get ready for it.......


$1,776.00

Seriously.

Exactly $1,776.

If that isn't a sign I don't know what is.

[powder valley news update regarding powder]This will rustle the fudds who think it's all the government's fault.

Let's be honest, it's the government's fault one way or another anyway. Just because they don't buy from Powder Valley doesn't mean ****, if they were buying from anywhere else in any increased capacity at all (safe to assume this is the case) it would still hurt supply. PValley also puts out updates about how they simply aren't getting in shipments from Hodgdon, Alliant, etc, like they should be. If the government was buying lots of powder, they would probably go to those companies directly rather than deal with a middleman like Powder Valley, so their "less than 1% of sales to government" statistic is pretty meaningless.

Maybe it's all just from more interest in shooting sports from citizens, sure...not easy to believe, but maybe. Thing is, even if that's the case, a huge portion of that citizen demand is only again because of the government's threats to roll out more regulation.

Ultimately that's just an understandable PR move for Powder Valley, who no doubt has to deal with a lot of angry people waiting on powder and rightfully asking "why?".

[R3L3NTL3SS]

I'm hoping like $3K... Or else wow.

There are a lot of places to go to read about it, most recently I'm browsing this thread:

Thx Farles. Negs inbound, R3lentbrah.

[Farley1324]

I wish I had a $15k limit card.

Well, maybe I don't.

[DanFager]

"There is no doubt the average person can, on their very first try, reload more accurate ammunition than they can buy. I have personally witnessed it many times and heard from hundreds of customers who have done it."

That's a pretty dubious statement for them to make. For example, I have a rifle that will shoot factory Winchester, the cheap stuff, right at .75moa. Really really hard, if not impossible, to beat that with any handload in an off-the-rack rifle.

[Ikeman83]

I guarantee you that if your credit is not complete ass, and you called your credit company right now to ask them to raise your limit, their response would be "how high?"

I'm not saying that you should do this, but the credit card company is probably not the bump in the road here.

[stiffdogg06]

So, I am thinking about getting another mosin and getting the wood stock hydro-dipped.

[BlueNinjaGo]

They issue credit cards that low?

No, it probably isn't.

TMI personal info follows.

I have had all of my cards for a long time now. I have, I think, 5 credit cards that are just in my name. One is Zales, which I used to buy the engagement ring, and haven't used since. One is Best Buy, used in 2008 to buy our current TV (18 months 0%) and last week to buy our new fridge (24 months 0%), but those are the only two charges it has ever seen. One is never used and resides in my BOB/BHB. I haven't used it at all, period, because that's the one I REALLY don't want information stolen from, because I count on it to work in the event of an emergency or whatever (it's a tiny little credit limit though, I should probably get that one increased). One is used for normal stuff typically, and the final one I try to only use for firearms stuff as a way of being able to go back and see exactly how much I spend on this hobby/interest of mine (which can be downright scary!).

Anyway, of those 5, I've had 4 of them since I was like 18-20 years old, and I have not once called and asked for a limit increase. I did get one increase on one that they just handed me out of the blue, basically, several years ago.

They issue credit cards that low?

lol

My tiny little credit limit BOB/GHB credit card has a $1,000 limit. I think I was a full time single teenage student working at Taco Bell when I got that one.

Wasn't that way for me.

Hell, a lot of times you don't even have to call them. I have one that I never used, so the issuer would periodically bump up my limit as a way to entice me to use it (I'm assuming). They raised it to 28K! I called them and said lower it to 5k or close it, one of the two.

[CutRipped]

I am a member of use credit cards for everything, auto pay entire balance from bank account every month crew.

What's wrong with you guys? Paying interest and shiiiit when you could be stacking those points, gift cards, cash backs.

I've had American Express own a restaurant before. TY based AEx.

I'm 12, but I still raged:

In on credit talk.

[Goldbrah]

So I'm assuming that since I am not part of a trust, I need CLEO sign off submitted in scanned PDF format for any eFilings?

That pretty much rules out submitting any more before I ship, unfortunately. Oh well.

[Ikeman83]

Saw this rifle on Northtech Defense's FB page. Holy ****, batman.



Rail is only $315 in a 14". Only.

http://www.centurionarms.net/index.p...tem&Itemid=189

450 for receivers, 315 rail, 275 barrel, 200 SSA Trigger, 100 stock, 150 NiB BCG. 1500 bucks for a rifle with no upper or lpk, buffer tube, sights or an optic. Might be closer to 2800 than 2500.

Create a trust. If you don't use a trust, you will need the CLEO sign off (can be your county sheriff, state police chief, local police chief, district attorney, even some judges though I'm uncertain how that works). As long as one of those (again, unsure on judge thing) has jurisdiction over your location of residence, they can sign it. And yes, fingerpints too.

eFile is for trusts only at this point in time.

A [revocable living] trust is not difficult to create. What I did, and what a lot of people do that is the easiest way, is buy my first NFA item (suppressor) from my LGS, and in about 20 minutes they created the trust for me at no additional charge. Now I have it, and simply use it for future items.

[Farley1324]

My favorite credit card use, although I hardly ever do it, is the 0% for X months deals that places have.

Like, the TV, 18 months at 0%. Now, I had to pay all of it off before the 18 months or they would charge back interest, which would be a bitch and I'm sure enough people do that...but we made damn sure to pay it off at month 16-17. But that was a big purchase...$1,600 television in 2008. Damn, it's kinda sad to see what the same thing can be had for today. But it's good too. Will be great when we get our next TV in a few years, or whenever, to see how much you can get for your $ now.

And the fridge that just got delivered today...freaking 24 months at 0%! And the sale price was competitive with other places.

The fridge cost less than that TV did. WTF?

Understood. I guess the next step is to create a trust, then. Thanks.

Everything is 0% if you pay it off in full every month!
