It's a converted 20" Saiga. 922r is satisfied with a US FCG and furniture. Didn't have enough horses to trade for the PKAS sight :( so I'll have to use one of my POSPs or Kobras

[fordruid]

Nice rifle.

[BIG 54R]

man this site is shaping up fast! Thanx tanker for the effort, the symbol you can use for the BIY section should be a cetme/fal kit photo!? Also would you consider a survival/prep section!? just a thought as i'm sure I ain't the only food storer here...at least I hope not!!!:eek: Gear section maybe?

[Patria Povo]

All right you wiseguys,

You should know that you are up against some real pros at getting that post count up there.

between Knobby, COK, Tanker, and WildBillCody, you don't stand a chance of beating them.

I want to make a point. Quality over quantity applies to firearms as well as post counts. I know people we had on cetmerifles that had 1000 posts and were still noobs.

So the point, make quality post and save the bandwidth.

If ya'll want to ramble and just run up your post count, thats fine, go ahead I will not stop you.

I'm trying to build out my ar collection I have one in 5.56 and 6.8. just need the 7.62 and .308 to finish them off.

[KnobCreek]

I'm trying to build out my ar collection I have one in 5.56 and 6.8. just need the 7.62 and .308 to finish them off.

I'm doing the same thing; building my AR collection back up. I went through a selling frenzy last year and sold off all of my ARs until I was down to just 4. Now I've been assembling left and right and I am currently at 18. My latest fetish is trying to collect as many of the different rollmarks as possible, but it's getting rather expensive to do so.

Man, I should have broken this post into three separate ones...oh well. :rolleyes:

[franks71vw]

well glad to hear we are all noobs in this site...

[franks71vw]

oh forgo to ask but is it better to build an ar from parts or order one the way you want it. I am looking to get one in 9mm and one to use for a ferret 50 bmg upper any help

[moreammoplz]

Nice Rifles

[KnobCreek]

Depends, assembling one, you have the option of purchasing the exact components you desire and leaving the ones that you don't off. I've been averaging under $600 a build, using new parts, but then winding up spending a lot more for the ubber-tacticool stuff.

"you are up against some real pros at getting that post count up there"
-->You ain't said rat root. Sprinters don't win cross country, man. Consisten posting is the way to get the count up, and after a while of useless posts, ppl don't feel much of a need to respond to them.

If you really want your post count up, contribute in quality, and hey, that's how we all learn stuff.

The guy who posts 25times in one thread will fall waay short from a guy who posts 15 times a day in 15 threads, and the discussion will be more lively.

Like anything, you reap what you sow, you get out what you put in, etc.

And don't make M-1 unlimber his crew-served pimpstick! :)

[okie shooter]

So, who likes Marlin Mobel 60's?


I am more interested in the ammo box that your rifles are sitting in the photos. Looks like fairly new markings, but not sure what ammo plant KN was for sure.

P.S. found a reference that says the projectile and round were LAP(load, assemble, pack) at Kansas AAP. I guess working with the stuff makes me want to inquire. The largest number of boxes I have observed have come from lots out of LS, which is Lonestar AAP in Texarkana which with Kansas is on the BRAC to close. I think that will leave only IAAP with any real loading capablity for artillary shells.

Don't tell anyone, but this sillyness does have a goal. Instead of being just a source for info, friendships can develop from this banter.
Right now everyone is on equal footing, so the shy and quiet are more apt to post here. Once they post a few times they get confidence to join in.
After all, wouldn't it be nice to talk as friends, not as students/instructors?

If I wait until I had something quality to say.........

[Deadheadmatt]

Anyone have a good pic of a zombie. I want to use it as my avatar.

[Deadheadmatt]

Also, what small pistol would you recommend for CC?

[bullseye]

you guys are wrong, just wrong. but it feels so good doesn't it?

[bullseye]

hey, I love marlin 60's. they are great rifles and they work even better if you clean them every thousand rounds or so. :)

[fordruid]

Also, what small pistol would you recommend for CC?


The one that YOU are comfortable with.

[pigpen]

Right now my rank is stank.

I got one of the stainless steel marlin 60s. It is a good gun for beginners.

Rusty is the master of high volume 'quality' posts. He made thousands of posts at CETMErifles.com but they're almost always informative and relevant! Thanks for all the great posts Rusty!

As for me? I just wait till one of the administrators needs some parts. Then I refuse to ship until I get my own, super special rank...M1 or Rusty do you guys need any parts?

[KnobCreek]

LOL, glad to see you onboard Robert!

[nalioth]

E-5, i had 2 stars!!!!!!! i must have really done something bad to get busted down this far to private! Be thankful you're not in Fort Leavenworth :p

[Texxut]

I bought a Marlin Model 60 back in the early 70's. Shot thousands of rounds thru it and never cleaned it. My brother finally talked me into cleaning it four or five years ago. It never missed a beat in all those years of abuse. That is one fine little rifle. I liked it so much I bought another one, but that isn't why I came here today. I came to ask a question. How bad do you gotta screw up the get this detail?

[Darkwatch]

Bwahahahahahaha...poor bastard!:(

[kevin]

ive got a model 60 and am now on my third bolt! every 500 rounds or so the little clip piece on the bolt starts sticking out on the left side of the bolt binding the bolt and wearing a groove into the receiver. It still works ok but i have to keep it really clean to do so.

[LorDiego]

I think mine does the same damn thing. I got it so cheap that I cant complain.

[g3shooter1]

Next up I plan on gettin an AK, Mossy 590, and AR-15.

[okie shooter]

My first 22 was a marlin 60 and I regret I sold it, got another last year to have another 22 in the collection.

[weasel_master]

I still don't have a .22 in my collection.

[KnobCreek]

I still don't have a .22 in my collection.

Well, you know, they do have nice Kimber .22 rifles at the CMP store. Get one when you drop by. ;)

[GearShanty]

Ich schalft mit dem Osterhase! - Man, those two years of German paid off.

[eec4tuner]

hehe

[MRCETME]

Everyone needs atleast one .22 You might start off with a Ruger 10/22 or Browning Buckmark pistol ;)

[vair65]

I don't have a .22 but a lot of my inlaw's say, "you need a .22, it's just a staple to any collection", there cheap enough to shoot and where I live I could probably plink all day long without anyone caring.

[Darkwatch]

Or a Ruger Mk II I love mine! I'm working on restoring an old Savage / Springfield M87A .22 I need to get a new stock for it. It's my fater in laws first rifle. They stopped making it in 1946. Boyds has a nice stock for it.

[bullseye]

Chat server??? that could be interesting.....
I have found that I rarely shoot my 22 lately and after much neglect I think I'm gonna go burn a few hundred rounds to make myself feel better. :) Thanks for reminding me, like I needed a reason to go shooting. :rolleyes:

From my friends that build them, they are just put them together and make sure you do it right, no welding, no pressing, just a barrel vice and wrench. These are really easy to build from what everyone tells me, just make sure you put it together.(even an army armorer told me there wasnt much too it)
