Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

Cabela's pulls out of Pa. show over gun flap
By RON TODT Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Hunting and fishing retailer Cabela's Inc. says it won't participate in what has been billed as Pennsylvania's largest outdoor sports show next month following the decision to ban display and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Event organizer Reed Exhibitions imposed the ban at next month's Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show following the deadly Connecticut elementary school shooting and the ongoing gun control debate in Washington. Cabela's said Saturday on its Facebook page that after carefully considering its business practices "and the feelings of our customers" it won't have a presence at the show. Event director Chris O'Hara of Reed Exhibitions did not immediately return a call seeking comment. The 9-day show opens Feb. 2 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex on the outskirts of the state capital. http://www.abc27.com/story/20631465/...-over-gun-flap

75% of the big name "Hunting celebs" have pulled out with press releases to their followers. All of the "celebs" were just at the SHOT show which is also run by he same event organizer. The NRA has NOT pulled out of the show. There is a long list of companies who have pulled out despite having 5-10k in booth space rented and more and more are being added to the list daily. Some of these companies are small enough it is a pretty big financial hit. I believe the mayor is a big anti gun nut and Penn already has fairly tight restrictions on the guns hunters can use. It appears REED is going to make some kind of public statement soon as shit is hitting the fan fast. They organize shows all over the globe and are very financially secure so this show failing won't hurt them, but it's going to be interesting to see if they stick to their guns or back down. It's also important to note some of the largest companies pulling out do not produce guns and some of the larger archery companies in the US were the first to tell REED to **** off. |

I have been looking at doing a forging for a while now. The normal sites that sell them are sold out.

I don't think it was a coincidence he dropped the news while every company and important figure in the industry was busy at the SHOT show. I hope they run his dumb ass back across the pond. I'm still trying to figure out why the NRA is not pulling out. Maybe they plan on making an educational event out of it for the people who do go?? |

There's 'easy' ways and there are harder ways. What I was originally planning to do was by the drilling jigs and do it manually. But then I got access to an industrial CNC machine and some jigs/program for it. That was the easy way, load the 80% in the jigs, load the program and press start. Wait until holes drilled. Flip the 80% in new jig for the pocket, load new program and press start again. A few minutes later a fully drilled out receiver. Then I had to deburr the holes and it's ready for engraving/anodizing. Most people do the manual rigs, I just happened to get lucky with the CNC machine.

Oh yea my most recent addition to the family today. Beretta PX4 Storm Special Duty.
I just realized I have a fiveSeven, a glock 357 Sig and then every other handgun I own is 45ACP or larger! What can I say I like my 45s! (hey come even if you know how to use it size still matters! )
