UPDATE: Iron Maiden Project Pt. 2

We finally got all the parts in for the build. First item received was the ATI 6 position collapsible folding composite stock, with cheek piece. Second was the Pro-Mag extended height piccatiny rail, center portion of the rail is hollowed out to allow for use of the iron sights. Third item is a 4x32 scope, and finally we got a OD green neoprene sling.

Barrel and receiver assembly was removed from a Ruger 10/22 walnut stock, simple tools were used for the build, a Phillips and flat head screwdriver and 2 Allen wrenches.

The build took less time then it did for us to can 6 quarts of corn.

What does FORWARD mean?

On Monday the BO Campaign released its slogan for the election..simply the word "Forward" with the "O" being what we all remember from the 2008 election. This marks the beginning of the re-election campaign, and will be shown over and over on billboards, shirts, bumper stickers, and signs.

The sheeple and those that will vote for him based on color will argue that Forward means we are progressing onward with the economy,  that he has rolled up his sleeves and getting America moving again...  but in history the word is associated with Marxism.

Since hearing about this on the Neil Boortz show, I have been doing my own research in to what the word means in the socialist circles, wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward" which goes on to explain its meaning in the Marxist and socialist circles.
During the 19th and 20th century the word was meant as a battle cry of sorts for European radicals as they denounced capitalism, to move forward and embrace socialism.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named "Vorwaerts" (the German word for "Forward"). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany's SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication "Vpered" (the Russian word for "forward") in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as "Forward, Soviet" (though also and more literally as "Stride, Soviet").

So this weekend as his official campaign kicks off with rallies, dinners and numerous other social events. I hope you all think of the term "Forward" and what it has meant in history and educate yourself.

Kudos To The Seals.....

On this the first anniversary of the killing of UBL, POTUS is standing before us all taking most of the credit. Even his former arch rival the Clinton's have come out in support and made a commercial...
Well, its been enough to piss off the SEAL community. They were sent in to do their job and get the heck out, no special accolades needed, but now ,in this an election year, POTUS is making it political and using the SEALS as re-election ammo. After all, he has nothing else in his record to run on....So this morning  it was the headline on DRUDGE: SEALS SLAM OBAMA

 On the heels of the commercial, Former SEALS are speaking publicly about the dog and pony show being put on by this administration... And anonymously  some active SEALS are too, they know they can not speak openly about POTUS, because like we saw with the Marine Sergent, it could mean their job.

 They are pissed because they do not like being a pawn in his bid for re-election. and despite the commercial, and what ever he says during his speeches, we all know that ANY PRESIDENT would have made that same call.
 And, they are upset because SEALS live their lives in the shadows...all this publicity has compromised not only them, but their families. It has also compromised their position on the ground, and being able to perform their job.

Obama is not the hero here he is making himself out to be, The real hero's, are those that  endured all the training that goes in to being a SEAL, and who were on the ground that night carrying the guns, and giving UBL the "Double Tap" to the head....not some politician thousands of miles away sitting in a room...

Dentist Pulls Out Exs Teeth...OUCH!

First it was the boyfriend giving his ex the "poo-tatoo" Now, its a dentist getting the ultimate revenge on her ex... ouch this had to hurt! :

Anna Mackowiak could face three years in jail after she agreed to treat her ex-boyfriend,
Marek Olszewski, when he asked her to help with a toothache just days after he broke up with her.

“I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions,” Mackowiak, 34, told the Daily Mail. “But when I saw him lying there I just thought, ‘What a bastard.’”

Mackowiak then allegedly gave Olszewski, 45, a massive dose of anaesthetic and coldly plucked out his teeth one by one.
She then wrapped his jaw in bandages to prevent him from opening his mouth — and then simply walked away.

“I knew something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn’t feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped up with bandages,” Olszewski told the British newspaper.

But he did not realize the horror of what happened until he got back to his Wroclaw apartment.
“But when I got home I looked in the mirror and couldn’t f---ing believe it. The b---h had emptied my mouth.”

Olszewski, who will get implants, said his new girlfriend could not handle being with a man who did not have teeth — and dumped him.
Mackowiak is being investigated for medical malpractice.

Yesterday....

Yesterday, Senior and I were bad parents. We cruelly sent our boys off to the rigors of a school day..then took the day off from work, we made our escape to the beach for a couple of hours.
We rode our beach cruisers, and enjoyed the view. The winds were light, and the tide was coming in. We can drive on our beach, and you really should go in a 4x4 as the sand is soft..so it is always fun to watch those folks who do not know any better- they start spinning their wheels and end up stuck.
I also get a giggle out of those brave souls who do not know what sunscreen is. We saw a nice little red head, with ivory white skin and freckles. Needless to say from our vantage point she was all ready red. I wonder how she is feeling today.  : )

I packed up a nice little lunch, and we sat there watching the waves and thinking of our children in school. I asked if we should just check them out early..and Senior said "Nawww, let them stay for the whole school day"...   : )

Project "Iron Maiden"

Being the metal head that he is and thanks to the song: "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden, Senior has had an idea to build a .22 survival rifle. However with the inflated cost of the Springfield M6 Scout, and an original Armalite M7 Survival Gun and  Henry's  version of the AR-7 survival gun. He thinks the best platform to build a survival gun is the Ruger 10/22. Ruger does have a new version of the 10/22 that breaks apart at the receiver and barrel for placement in a back pack or to take camping. It is a good idea that Ruger has, but in my opinion its TMMP ( too many moving parts).

The New Ruger "Takedown" breaks apart
at the receiver and barrel.

Numerous other bloggers have posted about this gun, including myself. There is no doubt of the quality and durability of this gun. And the numerous accessories that are available for it.

His initial plan is a bone stock 10/22 with a Butler Creek Folding Stock with 3 accessory rails toward the end of the front sight.
What we would like to know from my readers are what other accessories would be good to add to this project and your reasoning.
