They put a different color polymer tip on their v-max's and (I believe their ftx's), throw them in a new box and give them a stupid name that relates to zombies. Jack up the price. Marketing gold.

Love me some Swaintech.

Glad Dale is dead. Dude was an overly-optimistic pussy.

Anything new and exciting coming out in the next few months?

Didn't watch the video, but it sounds like Somalia all over again.

Try Euro optics.

I don't really have a specific technique. I just clean until I'm satisfied, taking care not to fuck anything up, specifically the part the bullet comes out of. I take my time because I enjoy the process. I do play around with quite a few products, though. I have some favorites that I always use. -I'm a huge fan of Q-tips. Specifically the wooden kind that allow you to get into those deep, hard to reach places. Break off the cotton part and you have a make-shift pick. They can be bought from Brownells pretty cheap -CHEAP paper towels (low-lint). I go through a crapload of these as well when cleaning. -Plastic picks (though I have metal, too, if needed). Also great for cleaning in cracks and crevices. I get out the metal ones when I've got some caked on carbon that won't come off. -Tipton Gun vice. Nice for holding long guns -Tipton and Ransom gun mats. Keeps your shit from getting scratched up. -WeaponSheild = Good shit. I run my guns wet. http://i39.tinypic.com/15yvxc8.jpg Pictured above is (Back row, from Left to Right): -M-Pro 7 Gun and Bore cleaner = general spray-down and cleaning -KG-3 'Solvent and Degreaser' = Overpriced brake cleaner. Don't waste your money. -WeaponShield CLP (I just use it for the L and the P). Everything that I don't use grease on, gets coated in this. The outside of the weapons get a wipe-down to remove excess, leaving only a film, but the guts stay drenched. -KG-1 Carbon Remover. Haven't got to try it too much yet, but from the little bit I've tried, it seems to work pretty well. Time will tell. -M-Pro 7 Gun Oil. Haven't really tried. Gonna be hard to replace my WS, though. -M-Pro 7 Bore Cleaning Gel. Again, haven't got to really try it. We'll see. -Small black tub = WeaponShield Lithium Grease. Again, haven't used it much, but it's kind of a PITA to use. I prefer Gun Butter d/t it's ease of use. -Air Duster. Obvious reasons. I'd rather have an air compressor, but it works in a pinch. (Front row, from the Left): -Super Lube Teflon grease. Amazing shit. Given to me by my father years ago. I guess its used in industrial applications. He decided to try it on guns and loved it. I've used it forever and am just now starting to try other things. I like to use it on pistol rails and trigger contacts. Pretty much anything that slides against something else. -Gun Butter Grease. Also good shit. Expensive for what you get. I've been using it in place of Super Lube with good results. -Gun Butter lube (sticky). Great for tight areas where you want some lube to stick. I like using it on the cylinders on my revolvers. -Red tub = Briley Choke Tube grease. I use it strictly on my choke tubes. I'm not convinced its anything other than regular old, multi-purpose grease. I few random thoughts: It should also mentioned that Mobile 1 synthetic in your weight of choice is also an EXCELLENT lube. Add some assembly lube to that (more = stickier) and you essentially have Gun Butter. I've been meaning to try Slide Glide in it's various forms and Tetra gun Grease, but haven't gotten around to it. I used bore snakes for quick clean ups. I wash them after every use, though. I can't get the thought out of my head that I'm raking shit through the barrel with them. A fired .45acp case works great for scraping the carbon off an AR bolt. I'm told Eezox works great for long-term rust protection during storage. I've also been meaning to pick some up. Not pictured are my rods, swabs, jags, etc. I run Dewey cleaning rods (fiberglass) and bore guide (ARs) to prevent from scratching bores. I hate those 'all-in-one' cleaning kits. They tend to be huge pieces of shit. I prefer to piece my stuff together with quality components as needed. For my ARs, I also like AR-specific chamber brushes and bbl extension swabs: http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/medium/243/243631.jpg http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/medium/476/476553.jpg

Be careful with cleaning too much, especially if you're using low quality rods and such. If you're not careful, you can easily scratch the bore of whatever you're cleaning. A clean, fucked-up bore is worse than a dirty, un-fucked one. A little bit of powder, copper and lead aren't going to hurt much by sitting in there.

Any of your local gun shops can do it. Typically prices for transfers range from around $20-50. 1. Inform your receiving dealer you intend to send a transfer their way 2. Have them send their information to the sending person/dealer 3. Sender will ship firearm to receiving dealer 4. Fill out typical 4473 form and pick up.

They shoot a lot of speedgoats with .50s out west?

So what makes a Columbus, Ohio .50 different from one from BFE? And make lots of noise, too?

Don't you work for Cabelas? :dumb: http://therubbe.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/badass.png Whenever you're ready, son.

Nope. But I suppose if I said something along the lines of: "Looking for a 7 second car. I've never bought a 7 second car before, so I'm not sure how it works. My family gave me a couple 15 second cars before, but other than that, that's all I've really driven. My friend had a 7 second car once, so I'd like to buy one and drive it around because it reminds me of him", I could sound like Gillbot. Sounds a bit silly, right? :dumb: And I never said it was stupid to buy a .50BMG. I inferred that it was stupid to buy one to 'make noise'. I offered a much more economical option if that's what he's wanting to do. The only drawback being, it won't bring back fond mammaries of his friend. OK then. You mention challenging which I can only assume means you plan on shooting some distance. In that case, find me a link to some quality .50BMG ammo suitable for this purpose. I threw out a rough guess on the price, but I bet I'm not too far off, though. Do you reload? And exactly how much long gun shooting have you done exactly? I heard absolutely no mention of compatible scopes in this thread. That's gonna cost you at least the price of the gun, if not more. But you already knew that being that you've been reading .50cal forums. You're damn near an expert at this point, I'm sure. Then why is this post here? Go to those forums and tell them your intentions for this gun. Be sure to report back here when they laugh you off their boards though. The advice is sound. The trolling leaves something to be desired. It comes with the territory.

I'm all for people buying guns; don't get me wrong. But this post is silly. I think some solid advice has been given along with the typical trolling (which I feel this post deserved). If all you want is noise and destruction, then buy a Mosin Nagant and forget all the sentimental stuff. Paying $5/rd. to make loud noises and punch 1/2" holes in Dinty Moore cans is retarded no matter how you try to justify it. Whatever makes you happy though, Bob Lee.

LOL @ seriously considering a .50BMG when you've never owned a gun before and all you're looking for is something that makes a lot of noise...

See above.

Iirc, you are only justified in giving a warning shot if you are also justified in shooting the person. In this case, he wasn't.

Buy a Mosin.

Anybody else been watching this? These guys are beating the living shit out of each other and it's hilarious. The show is :fuckyeah:

:fuuuu:

Nope. I prefer to find them while they're still on the animal.

:fuuuu:

The elk would have dropped dead just at the sight of the kid with a .243 :dumb:

I loves it. :masturboy:
