Well, I've got a Benelli M1 S-90 20ga in camo waiting for me under the tree but for myself, I picked up a Beretta cx4-storm this week(my Xmas bonus). Oh yeah, and a few high cap mags for it!

My sweet bride is paying for my Texas CCL, so I am torn between a new pistol for concealed carry or a new 20" varmint upper for my bushy.. What would you do??? fullclip |
|
Apprently I am getting a new valve train for the Mach 1 I am getting ready to restore. [:(]
The previous owner seems to have put some incorrect rods in there, and to replace them requires buying a whole new valve train kit (according to my mechanic) that costs about $500 in parts alone. Damn that sucks - but at least the engine will be in much better shape, with all new parts when he's done. |

Americam Man. XXX warrior for my bushy AR, and a Bowers PARADIGM for my Walther P22. Both are pending, the wait is killing me.

and what is this "mechanic" shit? some basic tools, a manual, and you can rebuild that engine yourself...........might have to have somebody knowledgable do your timing and what not, but basic engine rebuilding is a snap...........just have the machine shop do the things you cant (bore, hone, cam bearings, rods on pistons, etc...........)

View Quote I can't tell you how many of those words have no meaning at all to me. [:D] When it comes to this kind of stuff, I'm all thumbs. While I'm sure I could learn and figure a lot of it out if someone was helping me, I'm not sure I trust myself to start taking things apart that I cannot put together again. Actually, I was originally under the impression that the engine just needed a tuneup and some new hoses, and should run fine (at least that's what the guy who sold it to me said - caveat emptor) - so I asked my mechanic to do that, and to install a new distributor (one of those cool unified thingys). It was when he was doing this that he discovered the problem, and apparently Chevy sells the individual parts, but Ford only sells a complete kit. I am planning to do all the interior restoration myself, and as much of the body work as I can do without having to rent welding equipment - but I just didn't trust myself to do the engine (plus, I was under the impression it didn't need rebuilding). |

Picked it up last week.[:)]

A preban Bushy M4gery, 2K .223, and going to Oklahoma to visit my folks.

Well the BBTOTG(Big Brown Truck Of The Gods...aka UPS) dropped off my Tactical Tailor Tac-Vest this morning. With some extra $$$ I'm getting from my "Command-Sergeant-Mother-In-Law" for Christmas, I will have enough moolah-yo on hand to get an EO-Tech 552 or Aimpoint Comp M2/ML2 to put on my M1A.

I know someone who needs the money, they are selling me a class 3 uzi package about 20 9mm mags, 45 kit, and 22 kit with mags. Im getting that. Wont be mine for awhile until ATF forms go through.

I got myself a Brand new Colt 1991A1 Series 80, in Matte Blue for Christmas

Putting the tranny back in my suburban, then it gets new tailpipes, muffler, etc.
If I can get that done before the new year I'd be happy. [party] Really need the big machine back road worthy. |

Etc., etc., etc. View Quote I've noticed your sig, and if it wasn't for all of SorryOccifer's excellent advice, I'd probably have started hassling you with questions by now. [;)] It's a 73 - the last gasp, and has a (non-original) 351 cleveland. Right now it's red (also non-original) and has a vinyl roof. I'm planning on dropping the vinyl and repainting it in metallic pewter - but before body and interior I want to get the engine (and all the mechanical stuff) running properly. What color is yours? and is it completely restored? (drooool) [:)] |

I don't know, but I had the presence of mind to furnish my wife with a Bushmaster catalog, highlighted with things from $5 to $500 I wanted, about two months ago.
All I know is, anyone who was buying me something this year, did so from that catalog. My wife sent in a consolidated order. No flannel shirts or butt candles this year. [<]:)] Smartest thing I've ever done for Christamas ideas. Doing it next year, too. |

Let see, a 17" LCD monitor for the computer (old 19" CRT died), and my real gift to me, a 23 cubic foot gun safe.
Now I have room for more guns..... |

View Quote No shit....DK, you are getting assraped on parts. Go here: [url]www.summitracing.com[/url] Check out parts prices. You can get a kit to rebuild that engine for roughly $500-$1500 depending on how radical you want to get. And labor for an engine rebuild should be about 6-8 hours I am thinking, most car dealers charge $60/hr. which means $500 in labor. For between 1K and 1.5K you can completely rebuild that pig. |

An "over-flow" 10 gun Sentry safe from Wally World that they have on sale...$197 bucks...going in the reloading room for the "not so expensive guns".

Don't know yet. Santa has been good to me all year with 3 more AR's. I was thinking about an M1A. Gotta finish shopping for the Wife and Daughter 1st. But Ammo is top on the list. Happy Holidays, BobK
