Re: OT Painted firearms?

That weapon has very little bluing. It's largely cheap parkerizing, but regardless the metal will stand up under stripper well enough. Bluing it would cost more than it's worth. Just keep it clean and all is well. The stock is yellow pine, or some Oriental variation and once stripped will swell when it gets soaking wet, but it is not fitted to any significant tolerances so you are okay there, too.

Look, the thing was built to be dropped in a rice paddy and still shoot. You can hardly hurt it. :)

I got a cheap Chinese SKS after the "assault weapon ban" for $80 at a show. What made it legal? It didn't have the bayonet or a high cap mag. The clip was a 5 shot non detachable clip. A real cheap POS. But it shot well. IMHO it is a good hunting rifle ;-). Then I sold it.

If you don't like the color paint it black! ;-)

Humph I shoulda kept mine for the end. It's coming you know. The BB and HCI are trying to make sure of that. You know the day. The day when all firearms are banned. All firearms go under ground. People are too scared to show them because they are illegal to have. The thieves will rape, pillage and plunder at will. Nobody is allowed to get rid of them. After all they have rights. And poor bambi won't have to hid anymore from that mean killer people call hunters. They will be able to romp and play all day. But who cares about that big ol cow that is raised to be slaughtered and had no chance from inception.

AHHRRR wheres me pirate hat. I'm goin o'r ta the o'er side... You know the dAHHHRRRk side. Any bloaks wanna set sail? There's a fortune to be made.

I do like the SKS - it's a simple rifle, easy to disassemble and clean. Easy and dirt cheap to shoot, and pretty accurate too, well, out to 100 yards anyway. I'm just going to remove the paint and refinish the stock, and enjoy it.

no kidding regarding the direction firearms ownership is taking. I live in southern california, and L.A. county has banned gun shows. Next'll be ammunition sales (which has already been thrown about by various and sundry politicos here). ah, well. time to pick a different career and move east.

Had the same situation when I moved into my previous place. It was 5,500 acres of land inaccessible except by the drive (1.9 miles long). The juvenile deer used to hang out by the house and were so arrogant, I'd have to nudge them with car to get them out of the way. And the Coyote population was huge. The DNR declared it was just about a disaster. Winter kill was terrific. Bodies everywhere. (Deer do not move from their territory and just choke it all up.) Crop damage was bad, too. So they held a hunting party and handed out deer tags in the field. Day one harvest something like 135 deer. Took two years of hunting to normalize the deer situation. My dog Pico took care of the coyote. Yummmmmm.

Here's a dirty little secret concerning Anti-Gun Liberals in general - they believe they can have guns but you can't. When the opportunity arises where they can easily get a permit to carry, they don't do it because they don't want to be _known_ to carry. They carry and use them as they please regardless of the law. But you shouldn't. Kennedy Liberalism to the max.

Lord forbid that they come here, the state just changed the law so that anyone over 21 can carry a concealed handgun without a permit. I don't think it will be long until they re-consider though.

I have to wait 3 years until I can legally carry mine.

Nothing with my Glock. I was showing a friend yesterday how easy it is to field-strip it with no tools. I started to put it back together while talking to him and wasn't looking at the gun as I did... I positioned the top slide incorrectly and got it jammed up. Later as I ever so gently *cough* was tapping the gun to try to unstick it, uh... things went downhill. Now it's _really_ jammed up and needs a new spring thingie inside of it. It's a mess. *grrrr*
