You mates are light weights. :) I eat jalapenos like carrots. When ever I make something with them I always snitch at least one.

Not at all mate, I was given a bag of 10mm pistol brass last year by Wayne from Aus Once Fired and now I've got 2 10mm pistols :) Recycling should be genuine reason enough and it's environmentally friendly.

Mate, I officially nominate you for Grand Forum Gun Nut.

I have dropped a lot of change on my very small (15?) but occasionally exotic collection. But I am certain you have outspent all of us and know you have a very sophisticated collection.

Does anyone second the nomination?

Alright, lessons learned from today's broken extractor replacement on my very abused Styer M95 that I am going to start bringing back to life... Never, ever, ever, ever take that bolt apart! Ever! Also, I'll need to do it once more, but in general, never. I am not looking forward to that experience.

Thing is it can be put together without use of force, blow torches and hammers in two ways. The it works way. And the 'bolt is jammed, take your mother f***ing rifle apart, completely and push the trigger sear from the inside of the action to release the c***.

Today, I've learned bother ways. Bah!

Also, bolt alignment before it gets pushed back into the action - to those who have done it... Yes, I have jammed my thumb, yes, it did hurt.

Tried that. Chuck​ Norris himself delivered a truck load. We got into an argument over parking the cement truck in my driveway, I kicked his arse and now nobody will deliver cement here anymore :(

I don't believe you JS, Chuck could strangle you with a cordless phone. He can kill ants with a magnifying glass at night.

Chuck is looking weird these days. Another decade or so and I reckon I can take him out. I watched Missing in Action the other day, classic 80's action.

Baddies can't shoot for sh1t, goodies can thread a needle at 200m from the hip. Bottomless mags, ****** acting, the whole bit.

I reckon chuck would last about 9 seconds in a modern combat zone

Chuck has already died, death just isn't game to tell him yet. The last time Chuck went skydiving the parachute didn't open, he was so pissed of about having to take it back for a refund.

He is a weirdo IRL. Creationism, Bible bashing... That said, what an amazing life story and he is one of very few actors who are actually pretty good martial artists with black belts across a number of disciplines.

I was sad to see him cry like a bitch, as he drove his cement mixer into the sunset.

Hi JS now I know your dreaming, it's well known fact that Chucks tears can cure cancer, but no one has ever seen him cry.

The only photo I have with Chuck dates from the 80s, at Yoshiaki Uno's Dojo. It won't share a page with any other photos in the album, all the other photos started crying when it was put in there.

Which is why I can't share my photos, because you're not emotionally ready.
