the last retail outlet i was aware of selling firearms in new orleans was the walmart on tchoupitoulas. they have not sold any since august 28, 2005. since then i am unaware of any retail firearms sales in new orleans.
i would look into a replacement stock. it is hard to tell if the cracks are from recoil or possibly being dropped. if this is a heavy recoiling rifle, any repair should be accompanied by some serious glass bedding to support the action. good luck, but it appears there is substantial damage to...
did they take the table you were cleaning the gun on also? something does not sound right here.. but if the firearm was taken into evidence, it will be held until the trial is over or the case is prescribed. i had a gun confiscated after an officer involved shooting and it took a little over six...
probably a lawsuit in civil court would be the best method of getting him properly evaluated and / or adjudicated as mentally unfit. good luck and i hope no one is harmed.
the way to get the 7.62 x 39 to function is to grind the ramp lower and taper the lower locking lug pretty much eliminating it until it becomes part of the feed ramp. this will allow for very reliable feeding. you will feel like you are destroying the upper but this is the way to get reliable...
the guy who went into his house to return with a rifle (fool 1), and fired it towards the other guy (fool 2), has just committed the crime of aggravated assault (louisiana law) a enumerated offense which becomes a precursor to the crime of first degree murder. continues and ends up killing (fool...
generally speaking, the 7.62 x 39 cartridge would probably be the most economical and accessible of choices. with ballistics near the 30-30 winchester, it would be a good chioce for a deer rifle, as the 30-30 win is the go to deer round for under 200 yards. cheap, available, and powerful seems...
if you are looking for a paint, you can get dura coat from either midway or brownells.... it is great for refinishing firearms. you can go plain black or camo easily. they aslo if i am not mistaken make other bright colors... very tough finishes... a little surface rust on a ak will be fine...
with the led, the power of the 6 cell is unnecessary. a much smaller light wil produce a remarkable amount of light and have a great run time. personally i have just recently converted some of my old streamlight stingers to led and and they are bright and run for well over 12 hours on a charge...
possibly a good polishing of the barrel? using some J&B no embedding bore cleaner or maybe some flitz polish on a flannel patch? there may be a rough part of the cut or maybe a burr where the gas port was drilled which is throwing you off...
LSP did my fingerprints for my CCH, i believe they have a small fee. also they do electronic printing, not sure how they send them, but they do them...
it is a shame you were unable to get the right side up model. the up side down model is so much less valuable... nice pistol... some reproduction or NOS grip panels would finish it out nicely shoot is to say you did and then preserver it in a shadow box and make up a good grandpa story....
McMillan Tac 30, 308 win. Leupold Mk 4, TMR, 8.5 - 25x scope. Badger Ordnance 20% base and rings. Harris bipod. AICS pattern magazines. Ebrelestock drag bag (soft case). Pelican Hard case. $3000.00 FIRM. this rifle has 50 rounds fired through it for barrel break in purposes and was cleaned after...
it is not really a palm sized, but a Kahr P9 is my subcompact choice for concealability. they also make smaller versions in the 9mm cartridge. anything smaller to me just seems to be too ergonomically challenging for a stressful situation.
