Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By conndcj:
Just started back at work after being out five and a half months. Add another nearly two months since I went shooting. Metacon really spiffed the place up. It looks really good. If it can avoid becoming a submarine every once in awhile, it will be perfect. I went on Sunday afternoon like I usually do so I can have the place to myself. Good weather brought out a few more people than I thought but it was fine. I just finished assembling these two carbines and this was more to function check them than anything else. I am taking an EAG Tactical Carbine course with Pat Rogers this year and I want my primary and secondary carbines to be set up the same. I will be running them suppressed 100% of the time and will be using XM193 ammo so that's what I did all day. I haven't shot 55gr 5.56 in years but it was fine. I need another Aimpoint, need to change a stock, set up my sling points and they are GTG. Only thing I really missed was my range cigar. Can't smoke anymore.

I've seen fuzzy pics but have never seen you in person. I stopped by metacon at the beginning of the class 3 match I was supposed to shoot on Sunday, but got called into work instead.
Feel better. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By conndcj: The people at the Mt.Sinai lymphadeamic clinic were awesome. Four weeks of massage and compression therapy really did wonders for the leg. I still use a cane but got rid of the walker months ago. Will make maximum medical improvement in a year which means sometime around November. There is no pain but I just get tired in the afternoon. I went back full time with no accommodations. After a couple of months of work and going around the state, I'm sure I'll get stronger. Signed my first warrant last Wednesday and had my first arrest since I got back on Friday. Feels good to crush people's rights again although the battery was dead on my MRAP. Can't believe no one started it while I was out.  Seriously, thank you very much for asking.

Seriously, thank you very much for asking. No problem Conn, glad to have a good guy back in the fight. Why can't you smoke cigars at all? BP? No . BP has always been fine. Because this is my second clot episode, I am more susceptible to getting them again. I take and will continue to take a lot of meds for the foreseeable future. Nicotine and smoke do not play well with them. Doc said cigars no but a drink here and there. Given the alternative I can do that. |

You'll be better off without the smoke, anyhow. Putting them down is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Thank yourself and pat yourself on the back. |

I assembled my MAK90 this afternoon. Spend the last weekend and a few nights during the week making some changes.
I replaced the front sight block and gas block so I can add the cleaning rod. Pretty much for looks. I picked up a laminated stock and handguards. I stripped and refinished them. Next week after the tung oil cures I can go shoot it. I also added a slant brake.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JohnsMyName:
Nice work Edge. Thanks guys! Now I hope I like shooting this. Prior to this I had Chinese surplus furniture on it. I was not a fan of it. The angle of the stock puts the gun a little high and the length of pull is made for a 5 foot tall Chinese dude not a 6'3" American with gorilla arms. The laminated stock is straighter than the Chinese and I added a 1" spacer to the butt plate. So I have almost 1.5" more length of pull. If this works out I will probably buy the NATO length furniture from Ironwood. It I still hate shooting it you will see it in the Pre-Ban thread.

I have Chinese blonde furniture because I like authentic, but I also have a wooden NATO length set that is sooo much nicer to shoot. You have longer arms than me, I can't image the discomfort. Hopefully it works for you, every respectable arfcommer should have at least 1 AK in the toy chest!

Hopefully it works for you, every respectable arfcommer should have at least 1 AK in the toy chest! I went with the Chinese because I wanted it authentic too. However I hate shooting it so I picked up the stock for $12 and ran into the hand guards at a store in FL for $5. I figured this would be a test to see if I like the gun with a straighter and longer length of pull. |

It's def much better, but AKs just aren't as ergonomic or comfortable as an AR, at least if that's what you're used too. If you end up liking it enough to keep, Ironwood makes a Chinese set at NATO length.
