World War Z

I saw the preview finally for World War Z.

I really enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to the movie. I will do my best to forget the book while watching. The trailer looks like it will have some major gun love:




--I think that when it comes out we should have a movie night!

Nations Gun Show

Nations Gun Show! Let me know if you're going!

The Nations Gun Show is this weekend.

I was not going to go this time because my cash is a bit low.

I was thinking that it might be interesting to see prices and  availability.

I need to get a pile of .223. I could always use another case of .45 ACP. Only if the price is not crazy!

--Maybe I'll take my son. He can carry really heavy stuff!

USFA Zip .22LR

A friend emailed me this pic asking if I had ever seen it before.

This is the USFA Zip .22 Long Rifle.

It has not actually been released yet. I think it will be a while before we see one in the wild.

MSRP will be under $250 and it takes the Ruger 10/22 mags.

It's designed to be a handgun, and SBR or even a picitinny belly mounted secondary system.

Their website launches on Dec 1st.

There is a cool video over there too.

--Looks like it may be fun.

Thank you for your service...

--My father was in the Airforce already when WWII broke out. He served in Panama. I miss him, still.

Quotes of the Week

Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful, good society' which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean: more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.

-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

 Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

--Ronald Reagan

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

--Jim Morrison

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

--George Washington

“We’ll never survive!”
“Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.”

― William Goldman, The Princess Bride

“All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.”

― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Sword Cane

A friend sent me a link to a page called:

Sneaky Little Guns

I liked the .410 sword cane the best.

--Cool stuff. WANT.

Friday Gun Porn

Friends are constantly sending me gun pics, bless their hearts.

This one is from Andrews Custom Leather.

This one was sent to me by a 65 year old cousin. She said I needed to get this because of the election results and the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

I tried to explain to her that shotguns were not the best for Zombies.

She gets it.

--Either way it's a sweet rig.

As Expected

Well that didn't take long.

From The Second Amendment Foundation:

"BELLEVUE, WA – Less than 24 hours after winning re-election, President Barack Obama’s administration joined with China, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and more than 150 other governments, in supporting renewed debate on the proposed United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, confirming the worst fears of the American gun rights community."

--I expect a full court press on expanding Gun Control. 

Side Effects

So we did not change the captain of the Titanic last night. Oh well.

The deficit and debt will grow. Faster. The economy will tank faster. More bread and circuses. Our foreign policies will invite more attacks maybe wars. Higher taxes, prices and stress. Supreme Court will be more about politics than the Constitution.

Gun control and revival of the Assault Weapons Ban will become a priority, because it's what they do instead of something. Prices on decent capacity magazines, firearms and ammo will sky rocket.

I might have to add a Prepper Tip weekly. I fear we'll need them.

--At least the Gun Bloggers might have stuff to talk about.

CBRPS Draco

AK-47 Pistol with CBRPS Draco Bullpup Kit

There is more and more of these Bullpup conversions out there for various firearms.

This one is an AK-47 conversion kit from CBRPS, and they have kits for all kinds of guns. I like this one and the one for the Remington 597.

It is the Sci-Fi movie looks that I like. Just drop in the rifle and you are ready to rock.  The ones of these that I have fired I have actually liked the form factor but the triggers always  suck really bad. This one at least uses the original safety and charging handle.

They started making kits like the Roni that used a handgun. These are a bit better. Using the natural trigger.

--Finally they started making Sci-Fi guns natively like the PS90, Kriss and the Cx4! Fun Stuff!

Part 2: How to Register a Short Barrel Rifle (SBR)

Current Status of my SBR, "The Axe"

I Finally heard from the County Sheriff regarding the Short Barrel Rifle paperwork. He called me at home on a Saturday. It was interesting how helpful he was. You know how you can actually hear people smiling  on the phone?

I left out a form.

He gave me the perfect Google search term "922g compliance" that resulted in the ATF form as the first hit.

Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B)

It is basically a form to certify that I am not an illegal alien. I quickly printed it, filled it out, swearing on a stack of mothers graves that I am a US Citizen.

I dropped it off at the County Sheriffs office to his attention.

Here is the series of events so far and what is up next:

• Purchased the AR-15 to be converted to an SBR
• Purchased the short barrel and upper
• DO NOT ASSEMBLE IT!
• Download and fill out these Forms
• Include the SN of the Receiver
• Manufacturer
• Make and Model
• Your personal info
• Go to CVS for two passport photos
• Go to the County Courthouse and get two fingerprint cards ($10)
• Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B)
• Submit copies for the County Sheriff to sign
• Wait...

Next:

• Receive signed forms in the mail (about 10 days)
• Make color file copies
• Write a check for $200 
• Send it all to the ATF   
• Wait...

--I will make another post on this project with each milestone.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Vid fun

I have been looking at the various kinds of Ruger 10-22 mods that are for fun shooting. There are various configs like the one below, might be fun project to do. A Gatling gun!! Think of the various options!



I wish someone would invent a "Hopper Feed" for .22 ammo. Dump 500 rounds in the top and rock and roll!

--That would be fun.

Collection: Mini-14

This is one from my collection. It's a Ruger Mini-14 with an aftermarket Tapco stock, DOT scope and a Laser. All of these "upgrades" came from Cheaperthandirt.com.

The scope and the Laser pretty much suck, but the stock is great. This was in fact my first adjustable, six position stock. I Loved it so much I put adjustable on several of my rifles and even a couple shotguns.

--Mini-14s are a great, easy to maintain, fun shooting rifle.

EMP Love

Directed energy weapons test of the CHAMP System was a complete success:
