Iirc. The floor is glued to pieces of wood underneath it at the corners. Pull the floor up and there are pre drilled holes at the base. Some have a hole on 4 corners some have two down the middle. 
Concrete bit and hammer drill is what I used. Drill hole as straight as possible, vaccum out dust, put anchor in hole, set anchor, put bolt with big washer. Done.
BTW, I used 1/2 drop in anchors.

I haven't received any range dates either.  We probably will pretty soon.  I'm guessing holiday break?

Here is the one I sent to my district CCM

Hello,
The closure of the only public range on island was to make emergency repairs.  These repairs have progressed in a very non-emergent fashion.  This is the only public place that Oahu residents are legally able to exercise their 2nd Amendment right.  Please see that repairs are done quickly as promised, as it seems to be stalled. 
I would also love a public range on West Oahu, but with the lack of support for Koko Head by the State, I doubt it will ever happen.
 
I wonder how fast repairs would be made if it was the only public golf course on Oahu instead of a range ?
 
Thank you for looking into this and for any help you can provide.

Thank you for writing.  We will look into this.  I am assigning my staff member Matt to handle this issue.

Thanks for this thread. I am also curious... Between a FAL, a PTR or an AR-10... for what you're getting vs cost, which one would you choose?

If you want straight up accuracy, AR-10.  They are also the best choice if you are planning on running optics.  My buddy had a Armalite and never could get it running 100%, so that put a bad taste in my mouth for the AR-10.  I'm sure some folks have AR-10's that run great though.

I like the adjustable gas on the fal,  If you reload, you can adjust the gas to suit your recipe. 
I have a heavy buffer in my ptr, so recoil is about the same as the fal.
My ptr has a heavy barrel, so the fal balances better.
Mounting optics on the fal and ptr both require additional cost of a mount.  Some are better than others but neither are as easy as a flat top ar.
AR 10 has way more aftermarket support for stocks, triggers, handguards.
PTR has the hk style forward charging handle which is cool as hell.

I wasn't going for target accuracy, so I went with what I thought would be the most fun to shoot, coolest looking, and something different to add to the collection.

With that said, my fal and ptr are a straight up tie IMHO.  IIRC they were both around the same price too.  I know you rather have a clear winner, but I love them both.

I also have a stg and it's one of my favorite rifles.  I also have a PTR 91 and had a m1a loaded.  I thought I would like the m1a before I bought it, but after owning one for a little while I ended up liking the fal and ptr much more. However I do love my Garands and m1 carbines.  fal's adjustable gas is nice and it's a pretty smooth shooter.  I have a arms mount, falcon trigger group, ergo grip, od stock set, and a vortex diamondback 1.75-5x in a dnz game reaper. Oh, and i had the barrel cut to 16" with the short FH instead of the long stg one.  I had a dsa mount but it didn't fit well, hopefully the arms mount holds up.  It definitely mounts up rock solid and sits a tad lower than the dsa.  I cut the back tab so the carrier can be removed without taking off the mount.

Don't seem to be much rules/laws.

Are you going with a guide or someone from there that will take you? It's starting to go into wet season so the game animals probably heading back into their "pockets" or secret spots.  A guide should know where to find them. So would local friends.

No guide or local help. I always considered hunting to be me vs game.  I like to make my own decisions in the field.  If I make the wrong move that day, only fair that the game win.  Just gonna go off gut instinct and past experience as a guide.  However, I do believe that doing some research and gathering intel of the game / area is important.

Hunting / Lanai Axis / sheep hunting tips?
« on: November 18, 2013, 08:00:42 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm looking into doing a Axis / sheep hunt on Lanai with my dad and a friend or two.  I've never been to Lanai, but most of the pics of downed game appear to be in rather open area.  This leads me to believe that game are roaming open areas and glassing / spot and stalk may be the way to go.  My previous hunting experience is Whitetail and hogs in the South and East US where we used tree stands. 

Anyone have any info on the deer / sheep movement throughout the day?  What hunting strategy has given you the most shots?

My current plan is to get on higher ground, glass game movement, and move to intercept as much as wind permits.  How do you guys do it?

Coming from Oahu, my time in the field will be very limited with little to no scouting time.

Thanks  :thumbsup:

How do you eject the Magazine with that PS90 body on it?  I've been staring at it trying to figure it out.

That small black plastic hump sticking out at the rear of the mag well.  push it forward and mags drop free.  I thought mags would be hard to insert when I first saw the design, but they aren't. HTA has some youtube vids out there showing their mag release and operation.

If the barrel is threaded you can replace that shroud with a better one.

No threads here....bummer.  But....just gives me a reason to get that threaded aluminum barrel.....

^ looks great, Pit808.  What are your thoughts on it so far?  Any issues or complaints?

Barrel shroud could have been better if it was made as a solid piece.  The 2 piece design shows the lines down the shroud where it comes together.  The better your trigger is before the stock, the better it will be after.  My trigger had a lot of pre-travel before install, so it is magnified with the addition of the trigger bar.  The trigger bar doesn't flex at all, so upgrading the trigger should give great results. I haven't had the chance to fire it yet, but it function checks just fine.  The fit is great and everything feels as solid as if it was a actual build, not a drop in stock. 

It's nice that both the p90 trigger safety and factory safety both function.  The top rail is attached to only one side of the shell, so no need to remove the optic when disassembling.  It should return to zero (or close enough for red dot) once put back together given the super tight fit of the stock.   

Overall, I really like it!  I do recommend HTA's accessories that include their extended mag and bolt release.  They are longer than normal extended controls so you don't need to reach way up in the stock.  Their 2 mag coupler also works well and gives it more of a p90 look without a bx25 sticking out the bottom. 
Just gotta go shoot the damn thing now.....
