The BBQ Gun Thread

[Colin1230]

Yeah, this carbine came with the original paper work (less sales receipt)

and two boxes of ammo, (100 rounds minus 15) that were purchased with the firear.

I'm certain that it has had one magazine run through it and then stored in the closet for the last 47 years.

Beautiful rifle!
M1 carbine trivia...Plainfield Machine in NJ was also a manufacturer of M1 carbines. During the Plainfield riots of 1967. Plainfield Machine was broken into and a bunch of M1 carbines were stolen. The rational response for.the state would have been to track down the thieves and as many of the stolen guns as possible, but that seemed hard, so NJ instead chose to ban the M1 carbine by name, and force all legal owners of such to turn them in or otherwise dispose of them--none were grandfathered, no compensation was offered. They didn't say if their efforts to sweep up untold thousands of legal carbines also resulted in stolen ones being turned in...one suspects not. To this day, M1 carbines remain illegal in NJ. I'm so glad I moved back to Idaho!

I've had it many years. I'm sure I purchased it from Midway USA.

My younger son bought me a Fathers Day present that has quite possibly brought me more smiles and fun than any present other than our children themselves.

He bought himself and I Super Safeties, aka Forced Reset Triggers.
Technically according to federal law and recent federal lawsuit findings, these are 'Semiautomatic' triggers. One pull of the trigger for each round fired.

In reality, these are full automatic, and I fully expect a future congress to re-write the laws and outlaw these.

But meanwhile, lets have some responsible and lawful fun!

More Fun than Losing $$$ in Vegas!

I contemplated getting into some 80% lowers.
what are you using for milling them out?

How's she shoot?

I bought the jig and tooling from 80% lowers as a kit. It's really easy to do. I've done 5 so far. Shoots pretty decent.

My friend has 1500+ acres we can go raise hell on and engage in all sorts of shenanigans, without endangering anyone but ourselves.

Which leads to some fun times, like playing Redneck Door Gunner.

Jealous! It legal to shoot on our property, but the neighbors would likely hate me even more and the wife gave it a bit no : (

Looks like my kinda fun!
Is that a binary or forced reset trigger?

They're FRTs of a type called a Super Safety.
Same operating principle as most drop-in cassette style FRTs for ARs, but different enough as they're independent safety crossbar and trip link with a modified standard trigger.

An old, bad snap. It's the only gun pic I have.
Top and center is my BBQ gun.

I have no guns to post a photo ...
The gun safe is used for storing "documents" if you catch my drift.

Are you a leftie?

Are you a leftie?

No, why?
Flashlight on right side, sling mount on stock?

Sweet Score!

I've one too, great PCCs.
And a lot of fun to shoot too.

Have a 10/22 set up as an M1 replica for fun.

Cheek rest on the stock appeared to be for a leftie.
I'm a leftie, but light mount on the right side of the rail works for me. My right eye catches a lot of the surroundings while the left eye is on the sights or scope.
