Could somebody post pictures of the left and right side internals of their gun? It would be nice to see any variations of parts over the years of manufacture.

Anyone know where I can get a good quality replacment firing pin? Just thought I should have a spare. Paul

I am looking for a 10 round drum cheap. The key word here is CHEAP. Let me know what you have.

That's a case for an altimeter. A Thompson drum will fit if you jump up and down a few times. It’s kind of funny, I have seen more of these cases than I have altimeters, usually it’s the other way around.

Wanted: Reising model 60 any condition. XXXjunkyard4@aaahawk.com (take out the X’s)

Any one got a 10 round drum they want to sell cheap? Let me know. XXXjunkyard4@aaahawk.com (take out the X’s) Thanks, Paul

Mike, I think you would save yourself a lot of Ebay troubles if you state in the auction that it is a repro. Is there such a thing as a rare repro? Ebay has been good to me because I state the facts in my auctions. Junkyard4$

Why not have a new law stating that any unregistered machine gun made before 1945 can now be registered? Since these guns are already out there how about they be in the system and not in the basement of a P.D. or in grandmas attic never to see the light of day. This would also bring in more tax money which is what the government always likes.

QUOTE For fear of being labeled the smartest guy on the planet again.. *LOL* I'll post about this anyway .. Hawkeye_Joe, I said in your world, not the planet. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Floridac3, If I were you I would have that gun restored but only by a professional like PK. This is not a kitchen table project. I am the biggest advocate of leave them alone unless they are so far gone that it makes no difference. What you bought there is potential and now you can make it the way you want it without hurting the original finish since there is none.

Hawkeye_Joe, Don't worry I won't leave. I have to stick around and give you more s..t. Didn't we have fun. 64 Replies and over 830 looks, isn't that great!! Who would have thought that anyone could talk about a bowling pin this much? After this much publicity you should call AMF and have them sponsor your next shoot. I'll come to but only shoot the paper targets with the picture of a pin on them and on the other end of the range with a bullet proof vest on. I am a little sensitive about stray bullets which is why I got so upset. I have been almost shot several times and it's not fun. One time was at a local gun show where a guy (dealer) wanted to see if this 30-06 shell fit in his gun, well it "accidently" went off and put a hole in the wall about 1 foot above my head. The whole place went silent for about 2 seconds and then it went back to business as usual. Another time I was walking in the field behind my house and the neighbor thought he would blindly fire off a couple shots, I heard them wiz past my head. I deal with a lot of different people every day and am slowly losing fath in the intelligents of the population. Too many computers doing the thinking for them. Too many people that have no common sense. Too many people blaming other people for there problems. The discouraging part is that I am not even 30 years old yet and have to watch America get dumber for the rest of my life. I'll get off my soap box now. I'll be back to read and sometimes post. It was fun, gets the blood moving. By the way, the smell ya later comment was from the Simpsons, one of the greatest tv shows in history.

It is really amazing that even though it is spelled out in black and white people still can't see it. I never said that a .308 would bounce off, but somehow that's how you read it. It's like when people ask me questions about an auction I am running, like "how much is shipping" when it is stated right there in the auction. Just READ the darn thing!!! My original posts were not to enhance my ego, they were to warn people of the dangers I saw and experienced. I had nothing to gain by them. Now you have me out to be some bad guy. So now I have learned my lesson, if I see someone that needs help or is about to endanger themselves I will just keep on walking. That is what this country has come to. Hawkeye_Joe, you must be the smartest person in your world, all hail to you. Go ahead an quote me on that since you like to pick apart everything I type. Yeah, I'm a real jerk, I try to help people, shame on me. This board use to be a nice place but now it's starting to get filled with the same old stuff that brought down all the other good boards. Tin boxes and bowling pins. Smell ya later, smell ya later forever!!!

Hawkeye_Joe, Missing the point? My original point was that I know it to be unsafe to shoot bowling pins because a bullet can come back at you weather it is bounced back or "re-directed" back at you. That's my point and you even agreed when you said a bullet could be "re-directed" when shot at a bowling pin. There is more than enough people that agreed that it doesn't need to be discussed any further. All I wanted to do was to try and prevent innocent people from getting shot, then I get a bunch of you saying it is safe and even promoting it. Do you not care if you or anyone else gets shot?

QUOTE Now as the pin turns can it not be that the spin put on the pin by the force of the bullet strike makes the bullet turn along with the pin and the exit could make the bullet return toward the shooter or off to some angle that would make it look as if it has bounced off???? Hawkeye_Joe, There you go, weather the bullet is bouncing off of the pin or it is "re-directed" it could still come back at you. Is a "re-directed" bullet safer than a bounced bullet? If anyone here has been hit with a "re-directed" bullet let us know, does it hurt? Yeah, I guess a bowling pin and a buffalo are pretty much the same thing, one is 5 pounds and the other is 2,000 pounds, that's only 400 times heavier. Next time I go bowling I’ll just take the Sharps.
