Off-topic personal comments deleted- JShirley If the militarization of the civilian police forces is such a great idea, care to explain how the community will benefit from such? Care to take a poll of the law abiding gun owners who rode Katrina out to see how they feel about said...

Bronze wool and oil. Steel will work, but like someone else said, it might well seed rust into your pistol and create a bigger problem later.

Easy, 300 Lorcins with pearlite grips. :neener:

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania by Benjamin Franklin If you cannot see the pertinence of this statement, then your future is very...

I can see your point WC. What I fear is incrementalism. First it is AR-15's in the patrol car. Next it's black 511's and Danner boots. Well, since we are armed like a military outfit and look like a military outfit, why not roll like a military outfit. In come the APV's with M60's...

WC, since when does superior fire power equate faster response time? As far as I am concerned, if i need to call you its only to fill out a report and to make a formal complaint of a crime. If that cannot be done by a professional that is mature enough to rise above an elitist attitude, then...

I like the way you think. :D

That is the easiest of all questions...to protect the laws of the land and to serve the community in such a capacity.

Hank, that is exactly why the Founding Fathers acknowledged the necessity of a properly armed and well regulated militia. The cops are not here to protect us. Believe me, you don't want to surrender that capacity to them either.

Sounds like a great time was had by all. If only every day could be like that. Can you imagine what it would be like if that was your job? I know you introduced the 4 golden rules and reinforced them over the session. ;)

Chief, you also make valid points and I understand you want to keep your officers safe. I also hope you understand where I am coming from. I applaud you for training your officers so well in force continuum. I cannot say that my opinion has changed but I understand your stand and can respect...

I will put this to you simply. Do I stutter? You may be willing to trade your essential liberties, but I am not. The police have no legal obligation to protect you or any indivdual. Such being the case, why would they need military arms? Simple answer is they don't. For your situation the...

The Cpl's action was not of bravery or national pride but of unadulterated love for his fellow man. It was brave, and I take pride that a fellow fighting man demonstrated such bravery. In my heart though, I know that none of these were in his mind when he dove on the grenade. All he could...

The reason, Owen, is that the aluminum used in firearms is not of the elemental variety. They are all alloys of aluminum and not just pure aluminum. There are over 20,000 different aluminum alloys so forgive me if I don't begin listing them. :D

Really, there is no reason that anyone outside of your immediate family should know you are carrying. Its not really concealed if everyone knows. Carrying a concealed weapon forces one to be more responsible, more vigilent and more level headed than the average guy on the street. It does...

Militarization of local police forces really bothers me. All a rural cop needs is some OC and and a good side arm. They are not shock troops, they are not infantry, they are not all special weapons and tactics and they are not occupying forces...yet. Or are they? Mind you, I am not trying...

You cannot have more than 10 imported parts, so you have to plan accordingly. To more directly answer your question, you can use the any stamped AK pattern receiver with the Romie kit. The only time you run into problems is if you try to use an RPK patterned receiver, one of the US made 1.5 mm...

Who else had fits the first time they had to reassemble an HK bolt and carrier group and reinstall it in the firearm? Now I look back on it fondly as a right of passage...and wonder how I maintained enough composure to not break anything. :D

I have a bad case of rifle envy right now. I suggest you find a nice dusty patch of ground and shoot it prone your first time out. :neener: If you are wise to this one, convince a buddy to stand a couple feet behind the brake and about 10 feet out. Be prepared to run though as he will come...

That sure is a fine looking rifle Dave. I must say that I greatly appreicate your practice of giving a discount to those who serve.
