Re: How do you clean a tub? &*^^&%^&%&$%$^&$&*

A toilet bowl scrubber and that comet powder. Follow up with some scrubless cleaner spray, the kind that washes off, like scrubbing bubbles, and clean...until it gets dirty, again.

Re: Winchester 1300 question

I have one in 20ga and it was around $230-250, so $300 for 12ga isn't bad.

Re: What have you bought (firearms related) in the last 48 hours?

Re: sniper rifle lapua or winchester magnum

Re: FEG AP9 blowback issue

I had one for the South African Police in .380 and it only stove-piped, once, with Remington ammo. I'd think, in your case, that it needs a newer/better spring.

Re: 45acp under 1k

The Sig 1911 has the Sig-Sauer name, but is made in America by Americans (or, so they claim with a lot of there 1911 models). While I do like the XD line, I also like Sig-Sauer.

Re: What justifies .40 S&W?

What justifies a .40 is the need for something larger then a 9mm, but more ammo than in a typical .45 handgun, but more control than a full 10mm.

Re: AR-50 Beowulf

If you get a hold of an upper, you should be able to use any multi-cal lower. At least, that's what I heard. Even if you did get it kinda cheap, the ammo is still $30-50 a box, unless you hand/reload.
