No way this is going to happen here and now. Unless you walk into a gun shop and buy a antique gun.

For "long distance shooting" get a bolt action.Unless you want to spend a good amount(anything over 1k is a lot for me) to buy something based on the A2 ("ar") . Which like SoCaltaco65 said is going to get expensive. I plink with my cheap build, been holding up great. I suggest buying used or buy a completed lower at the store. Then you can order a complete upper online and assembly at home. If you can change your oil you should be able to join two parts.
Check these out.

So last week... went up to Central California... visited 4 California Spanish missions...



San Buenaventura (1782)

========================================================================



Santa Barbara (1786)









===================================================================



La Purisima (1787)















======================================================================



Santa Ines (1804)

 

HOLY PHOTO BOMB David.. nice pics !!.....

 

No wonder potatoes won't shoot out of my peashooter

 

Thanks Doug... What is that flaming highway photo showing us in your sig? Did your Taco backfire and cause that???

 

That is the 2003 Cedar creek fire David, burning on both sides of sr76 or sr78 whichever one runs thru Cuyamaca, those are 100ft+ flames, trees actually

 

Nice pics David. Those missions look a lot more glorified then they actually were.

 

Indeed, they had the luxury of being in the half of California that became part of the United States.

Missions founded in the same years in the southern half of California (today's Baja California) did not do so well at being restored/ rebuilt...


El Rosario (first site, 1774)


El Rosario (second site, 1802)

Even the final California mission (founded in 1834) has almost nothing to show, as it was in Mexico (Guadalupe) and the poverty or disinterest in restoration did little to save or rebuild the adobe mission churches or compounds... Here is the page for Guadalupe mission from our book:



There are 8 stone built original mission churches in Baja from the 1700's that are intact and beautiful...

Here is San Javier, founded in 1699 and this church constructed from 1744 to 1758...














San Javier was California's second mission, and is all original construction. Fantastic... and if you realized how remote the site was... not until the mid 1950's was an automobile road opened to it. A paved road was finally completed last year. It is about 22 miles from Loreto, Baja California Sur.

All 48 California missions are in our book: http://oldmissions.com

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a custom upholstery shop here in town? Looking to have a shift boot made.

 

Could try Mark Luhr in Santee, not sure if he does boots but he does amazing interiors.
If not he may have a good idea where to go.

you could take a look on Ebay as well see if you could find something that is adaptable.

 

Thanks, I was looking on ebay also.

Good news is we only had to cut less than 1 inch out of the change holder plate for the shift pattern!

Truck drives and is pretty much all done. Just need an alignment and the rear locker is stuck in the on position so we are switching lockers out today so I'll be driving it home finally

 

Good Good, Suspension retuning time.

 

Yup yup, I still have a lot of room on the tubes so hoping I won't have to open them up for now. I'm planning on getting a professional tuning sometime this summer.

 

I can see a crank or two on the coils and 2x-3x 1/4 turns on comp tube 1 and you should be gtg, cant really see more then that, you added weight and suspension swing weight with axles but not a ton.

 

Happy Birthday Dave

 

Thanks Tyler

 

New toy! Time to cut something

 

Happy Birthday indeed! Now go cut something!

 

Yo you get that off groupon haha only reason I ask is I bought one just like that but the handle has some flint matches and a compass also some string and a needle for fishing in it like a survival knife. If it is just wanted to know what you thought of it.?
O and happy b day man. Hope you had a good day/night

 

My girlfriend got it on Amazon lol! She got it off my wishlist. Dude its a bad ass knife. Feels super solid and is sharp as hell. Ill let you know how it holds up. Thanks man
