Photobucket made me almost rage quit.

Making things 'easier and easier' because everyone is too stupid to click browse and go through their images apparently.
So it has to generate an entire GUI inside the browser to view get pictures off of your hard drive. s**t is so bulky.

Uploading an entire folder at once is pretty cool, but not at the cost of a 5 minute load time.

Anyway;

Christmas came early this year.

I got an e-mail from the CMP yesterday that my order was shipped over night express.
I didn't think it was going to come on time, let alone early.

The dogs went nuts this morning, someone pulled into the driveway.
I got excited thinking it was the delivery van, but it was just a plain silver van. Not a mail delivery van.
So then I thought, "AHHH ********! I just got trolled by the god damn Jehova's."
Then a guy walked up to the door with a long box.

Very nice!

Hope it works as good as it looks. Are you planning on trying it on deer any time?

Well, modern soft or hollowpoints would trash the s**t out of the gas system as is, unless I reloaded my own ammo with a lighter grain and different powder.
And since FMJs for hunting is more or less banned, I'm SOL on that.

On top of that I'm in a 'shotguns and handguns only' zone.
Muzzle loaders are fine of course, and bows.

What you need is an ADJUSTABLE GAS PLUG. They are pretty common for the purpose. You can adjust it to a single-shot to the lightest loads.

Single shot?
neutral

I've also heard that it's the powder as well.
Burns hotter and or faster than the milspec M2.

Probably not Hans.

Congratulations!

I've seen much dirtier furniture on an M1. What matters is that you got one in working condition. And finding the right ammo for that rifle isn't that hard.

Enjoy your Xmas present!

So for the past year or so the only real blanket I had is an afghan. If you aren't familiar with them they are a quilt which has lots of holes in it. It's pretty heavy, but doesn't insulate well. Because of this my sister got me a matching camo pillow case and blanket for Christmas. smile

That's really neat. Ah, the feeling of a new gun. It's a feeling had not nearly often enough.

I need it again... I'm addicted. Needle please! scream

We had an afghan draped over the couch in our old house.

It kept you warm pretty good unless a breeze came through.

When the dog ate my one blanket I got some cheap fleece or some odd fabric stuff, heat went straight through it, even when I doubled them up.
Had to deal with that for almost a month before I got a new blanket.

Was that the digital camo?
I wanted to get one but the only ones I found seemed kind of cheaply made.

Now that we're talking about shitty products;
Lately my mother picked up these 'Even more energy efficient' light bulbs.
You flip the switch and you can't even tell you turned on the light until 3 minutes later when the bulbs finally 'warm up'.

Well I like to sleep breathing cold air. If the air is warm I can't sleep well so during the winter I tend to leave my window open a crack and then I get really bloody cold. Anyway yes it is the digital camo.
