The one thing I managed to take home from the funshow, the bayonet mount for the Carbine, had to wait until I could pull the front sight, of course. I wasn’t about to spend a wad of cash on a puller, so I made one

It’s just a couple blocks of steel, a cutout the same diameter as the barrel, and a pair of socket screws. Yes, you have to carefully turn one and then the other so it doesn’t cock, but I didn’t want to be pressing against the actual barrel, so I figured this was the easiest build

It worked like a charm. I had the old barrel band off and the new one on in a few minutes. Now I just need to buy a bayonet.

Purists, I suppose, may point to the fact that a bayonet on an M1 carbine is like a spinnaker sail on a wombat, but fuck you all, I want a bayonet on an American rifle.

Also, if anyone wants to borrow a cool sight puller I gots one.

from Tam, regarding the possible futures we await:

“fighting corpse-eating rats over cans of Van Camp’s in the weed-choked rubble of a balkanized America.”

As a kid, I read “Daybreak, 2250 AD”* over and over and over again, thinking, how cool would it be to be a savage sifting through the rubble of a lost civilization looking for bits you could use to defeat the Beast Things. Never thought it would actually happen, though.

Marijuana legalization is being put to a vote in California. It will win, and the District of Columbia will follow.

The resulting drop in crime (too much crime! let’s make the illegal shit legal and crime will drop!) will be pointed at as a good thing, and it will go nationwide.

This is how the idiots are going to pull their popularity out of the crapper. I told you. You wait and see.
