    The Rem 760's and 7600's are both rattlers when the O ring wears out .  Thats is whats doing it . You can fix it yourself but its a process. You have to pull the barrel off . Some of those 760's had the red loktite holding them in so you would have to heat gun the joint to get it off . Im sure Buckmaster7600 has done it before and can chime in .  Once you replace the O ring the gun will work like a charm with no rattles

    Did some more research.  Several videos on YouTube how to disassemble the 760 (looks easy enough).  Also found on another forum that the o-ring can be purchased at local hardware store.  Size is #40 dimensions 3/4" OD x 5/8" ID x 1/16" thickness.

    Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic Stimulus' payment.

    This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A format:

    Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ?

    A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

    Q. Where will the government get this money ?

    A. From taxpayers.

    Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?

    A. Only a smidgen of it.

    Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?

    A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

    Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?

    A. Shut up.


    Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. Economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

    * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka

    * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.

    * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China 

    * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala

    * If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .

    * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .

    * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

    Instead, keep the money in America by:

    1) Spending it at yard sales, or

    2) Going to ball games, or

    3) Spending it on prostitutes, or

    4) Beer or

    5) Tattoos.

    (These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. )

    Conclusion:

    Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day !

    No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.

    You left out #6 (which should be #1 in my opinion), Purchase firearms (preferably ARs & handguns) and ammunition manufactured by USA companies from your local small business! owner!!!  Because this is exactly what they, the politicians, do not want you to do.

  3. Unfortunately, this happens every year.  The shooter inevitably says something like "I thought it was a deer".  My advice to all hunters is if you THINK it is a deer it IS NOT!!!  You need to KNOW it is a deer and that happens by clearly seeing it and identifying it as that.

    Hopefully the US Supreme Court will throw out the Sullivan Act next Spring and NY will replace it with something more "user friendly".

     

    My understanding is the case is about constitutionality of NYC permitting process and not the Sullivan Act itself.  The new NYC Mayor elect Eric Adams has already gone on record that he hopes the SCOTUS upholds NYC.  If NYC loses I am sure the NYC pols will implement new laws to infringe and have the same effect; not something more "user friendly".  Appreciate these anti-2A pols already think the Rittenhouse verdict (which was a simple self-defense case only and nothing to do with gun laws) is a need for more gun control.

  5. Here is another way to look at this virus lab versus wet market.  China has had wet markets, the entire country, for 1,000s of years without a pandemic outbreak.  The lab was built in 2003 (only 16 years before first cases), happens to be in Wuhan, and studies this specific virus.

    In addition, China government arrested the doctor who first reported an epidemic in Wuhan.  There would be no reason to arrest him if this came from a wet market.

    The Derek Chauvin trial was a travesty. Prosecutors were allowed to break all the rules. Whether that was because Judge Peter Cahill is a Democrat in a heavily Democrat area and wanted to convict Chauvin or whether he didn’t want to take the heat for declaring a mistrial, prosecutors realized that they didn’t have to follow the standard rules. One can only hope that the appeals court judges have stiffer spines.

    https://townhall.com/columnists/johnrlottjr/2021/04/22/the-derek-chauvin-trial-was-a-travesty-prosecutors-violated-rules-that-protect-us-all-n2588370?229&fbclid=IwAR2H5HTjfjwiok8hfMrgNHeb81mPUgcBV_MEJM72X83AJfGEIpb1vdKA2Vk

    1) This is an opinion editorial

    2) Lott is not a lawyer

    The last paragraph of same article:

    It is impossible to get in Judge Cahill’s mind and figure out why he let the prosecutors act the way they did. The bottom line is that these rules exist for a reason, and violating them made it so that Chauvin didn’t get a fair trial. That is something that should concern everyone.

    The role of the judge is to ensure the defendant gets a fair trial, not a perfect trial.  If the judge felt this imperfect trial was unfair he would then declare a mistrial. I'd be more interested in this aspect if prominent trial lawyers were saying it.

    The new woke military announced today that we will be using taxpayer money to do gender reassignment surgery for active duty military. This renders them undeployable and unable to serve effectively. The new SECDEF apparently believes we should be spending DOD dollars to be LESS battle ready and waste valuable healthcare resources that wounded service members need. Insane.

    The military is no place for leftists to be conducting social experiments.

    This is just a Lib/Dem workaround to have a national healthcare system that pays for this.  Individuals desiring gender reassignment surgery without the medical insurance or financial means will join the military to have this done at taxpayer expense. This has nothing to do with what is best for the military or best use of DOD dollars.

  8. DeBlasio, Cuomo, and the Lib/Dems all initially did not call these incidents out as Asian hate crime because it was not fitting the narrative of white supremacy.  It was the Dem and Repub Asians that called it out for what it was and forced it out into the open.

    The "people" that stood and watched were security guards!  They say they called the police but the NYPD said there was NO 911 call for this incident and a patrol unit happened to come upon the scene.  NYC sucks!

    To add to this discussion: Anyone in possession of a handgun not registered to them - automatic 10 years.  Anyone in possession of a handgun not registered to them that was used in a shooting - automatic 20 years.  Anyone in possession of a handgun not registered to them that was used in a murder - Life.  Anyone selling a handgun to another without a paper trail 10 years. 

    Laws like this may be the biggest deterrent for criminals to not carry handguns and get them off the streets. 

    This only works in theory.  The criminals defense attorney will plead down these charges for a guilty plea.  Sentencing is up to the judge so years will be reduced.  After a while of this type of sentencing, the Libs will again argue there are too many people in prison for too long, too expensive a sentence, et etc etc.

    Reality: NYC has a law of mandatory 1 year added to sentence for any crime committed with an illegal handgun; at the discretion of the sentencing judge.  Oxymoron right there, mandatory and at the discretion.  The ONLY person to receive this sentence was Bernard Getz.

    You may not agree, but it has become reality, I'm afraid. Also, you say that your statement is not a POV , but (I assume) a fact; well, the other side would disagree with that assertion and many would agree with them--Im afraid--as they are numerous and quite powerful , as demonstrated by the 2020 election results. Thats what I'm saying ! We have  already lost extensive ground over the years, piece by piece , little by little and positing the argument now, that absolutely NO gun control legislation is constitutional, will get you nowhere, IMHO. Again,  Although I agree with that sentiment (i.e., that it is indeed, unconstitutionaldue ) , Im afraid it would be a rather unpopular and fruitless endeavor right now, circa  2021.

    NCM, agree this is an accurate assessment of the current state of affairs.  This is primarily due to the education system, mainstream media, and the powerful brainwashing the masses about 2A.  It is the responsibility of gun owners to correct that brainwashing and never throw in the towel.

    Look at the history, as criminals use different guns in high profile crimes those guns become highly regulated or illegal (tommy gun, sawed off shotgun, Saturday night special, AKs, ARs, etc).  The criminal minority causes the loss of rights of the majority.  

    Hunters, as gun owners, need to understand that their guns are NOT safe; they are just further down on the list.  A large number of anti-gun folks are also anti-hunting.  King Andy said "How many bullets do you need to kill a deer?"!  At some point in the future an argument will be made that hunters should only have single shot firearms (more sporting) and all others made illegal because the criminals are using non-single shot hunting arms in crimes.

    DD , I totally agree w your POV but I think we’ve  ( ie,  the country ) gone WAY beyond there currently , haven’t we ? I mean , SO many states ( and cities) have enacted    Excessively regulatory gun control legislation in the last 40 yrs And consequently, the opposition ( I.e. We  2 nd amendment supporters ) has conceded much in its acquiescence and acceptance of this new reality . Unfortunately, We cannot go back now and complain And try to roll back legislation that has already been passed ; best we can hope for now is to try to prevent further erosion of our rights .

    The vast increase in concealed carry rights in many states, including the increase in Constitutional carry, requiring NO permit to carry a concealed weapon, would indicate we CAN reverse many of these unconstitutional laws if we have enough people willing to support challenging them in court.  Many unconstitutional gun laws are currently being overturned because people have finally realized they are unconstitutional and detrimental to public safety and self defense.  The best defense is a good offense.

    The government would like you to think oppressive laws violating your 2nd A rights are irreversible.  They are not.

    The best we can hope for is all gun owners unite and demand these laws be overturned as a violation of everyone's civil right to self defense and freedom of choice.

    NCM, what I wrote is not a POV.   The anti-gun community wants you to think and believe this is an opinion, point of view, or belief.  It is factual documented (Federalist papers) history.  I do not agree with "And consequently, the opposition ( I.e. We  2 nd amendment supporters ) has conceded much in its acquiescence and acceptance of this new reality."  We, the opposition, have been forced to accept these unconstitutional laws or become criminals.   You state "try to prevent further erosion of our rights ."  One of our founding fathers said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance".  As Grouse has stated, some of these unconstitutional laws are being overturned, including by SCOTUS.

    Grouse, I used to be like you. You state your 65 and have nothing to lose by arming yourself and going up against your government. 65 isn't old and you should be looking forward to enjoying the rest of your life. I live in NY and when the safe act was introduced back in 2013 I freaked out, I went to rallies, spent countless hrs on forums and sent hundreds of emails. But here we are 8 years later and I still have all my guns. All my trusty turkey shotguns, my deer rifles, rim fires all still in my possession and I still carry my trusty sidearm wherever I go. Alright I can't own an unmodified AR or AK and I'm fine with that. Any revolution by urban hostiles will be met with my trusty deer rifles and I'm a great shot. Needing an AR to go up against the NY state police or national guard is not something I'll ever need. I've come accept alot over time and really dont think anyone should have ever been able to purchase a gun without an ffl in a private sale anyway. No one is ever going to take my guns, I have no doubt about that. I've come to accept guns laws and I'm a better man for it. I'm 65, happily retired looking forward to many more years in the field doing what I love. I'm alot less stressed and enjoy time with my family more and I'm alot calmer now. I separated myself from gun forums which was my first big step and only visit here on occasion. So at 65 enjoy life, your well into the last quarter my friend, so make the most of it. Besides a federal pen is no place for for men of our age, lol.

    You don't understand the second amendment.  It was not written to preserve your right to have hunting and shooting arms.  It was written to preserve your right to have arms to go to war with.  It was intended for civilians to have equal footing with the military.  ARs and AKs are precisely the arms it was written to preserve/protect; and it is the ONLY individual right that includes "shall not be infringed".

    For those who want to make the argument it was written at a time when the arms were muskets, and the founders could not have imagined AR & AKs, freedom of speech was written at a time of oral or written word, the founders could not have imagined radio, television, the internet, etc.

    Rights are not supposed to be conditioned to a time in history, past or future.

    Not for nothing the passing of one of these bills with be the best thing that has ever happened in this country as far as gun rights. It will force the Supreme Court to hear a case that will essentially tackle the safe act and other restrictive laws. With the makeup of the current court the law will be thrown out.

    That is a dangerous strategy.  The SCOTUS gets to pick and choose which cases they will hear; and historically they rule VERY narrowly.

    or just hold out till 2022 and there won't be any vaccines necessary anyway. they will go obsolete like @crappyice's lyme disease vaccine shot 

    The Pfizer/BioNtech and Moderna vaccines have proven they are safe (over 75 million doses given) but if you want the J&J vaccine, which is less effective, that is your choice.

    Holding out to 2022 is putting your life at risk.  COVID19 can result in death; including young healthy individuals with no risk factors treated in good hospitals.  The virus will not be eradicated and will still be around.  Although it is expected we will have herd immunity by then, the purpose of the vaccine is also so that the individual has some immunity to prevent disease. There has been zero fatality from COVID19 in anyone vaccinated to date.

    They agenda is obvious.  Lure these illegals in with every possible incentive the left can get away with offering.

    COVID isn't the only medical issue these illegals bring with them into the US.

    Immigration rules and law is more than just protecting US jobs or benefitting the immigrants life.  It is also about protecting the health of Americans.  His policy and position ignores the fact that the illegal immigrants (aliens) can be carrying other infectious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis, etc

    Jail time is not a debt to society, jail time is a “timeout” out of society after proving one is incapable of being a part of it. A jail/prison sentence doesn’t mean change, it instills change but it’s up the individual to bring that change to the outside. Some do/will others never will.

    There are many, many, too many programs to assist cons in getting jobs once they do their time. If someone chooses not to take advantage of it they’re probably not smart enough to stay out of prison anyways.


    It’s not legal for most employers to ask if you have a felony unless it’s a sex offense. However a large gap in employment usually is a dead giveaway.

    Jail and prison are actually two different things but inconsequential for post.  First, prison is supposed to be punishment for your crime and justice for your victims!  Rehabilitation, if possible,  is a secondary nice to have and not the purpose or primary goal.  Rehabilitation is possible in some inmates, poor choice situation examples; and not others, mental illness and pathologic personality disorders.  There is too much emphasis that the criminal justice system and corrections system is about justice for the criminal and rehabilitation/educating same.  Society, the victims, and restitution have been lost.
