My wife gave birth to our first child "Brooklyn" yesterday morning. Our little girl came 3 weeks early via a c-section weighing 8lbs 4.9oz.

  You're absolutely right.  You know what the trend is?   Screwed up people.  Mentally defective individuals who will use a knife, an ice pick, a baseball bat, a furry kitten or a ball of cotton to kill someone else if a gun is not handy.  In this case it was a former soldier suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder who had easy access to a firearm because of the philanthropic work that Chris Kyle was doing with such individuals.   It's a horrible shame but it doesn't appear that the government, a foreign interest or even space aliens had anything to do with this.

  Dick?  Penis?  Gentleman's sausage?   Just trying to make sure we're all on the same page.  :angel:

Here come the drones!

I've always been a fan of the good ol Ruger 10/22 platform and I have owned many, all of which end up getting modified. I always dreamed of building a "accurate as it can be" target version, and a super light field version. Well... I emptied the coin jars in Coinstar the other day, claimed my Amazon money (almost 800 bucks!) and went shopping. The bits n pieces promptly arrived from Tony at Kidd Innovative Design, and here's what I ended up with. I already had some of the goodies, but I added the stock, barrel, bolt, charging handle. The Kidd two stage trigger was in my other lightweight field plinker, and I did a trigger job on that and moved it over to this one. What do you all think? The old bolt that I modified: A variety of springs for different velocities:

Romantic ideas of the past generations withstanding, I wouldn't change a thing. There's plenty to dislike about where we are today but there's also a lot of things I think we take for granted. Plus, I like who and what I am. given that we are all in someways products of our environment I wouldn't change. No, if anything I'm more curios as to the future, I sure would like to be alive in 2076 for instance.

Thank you!  All this tinfoil hat nonsense must mean that Noveske's car was actually run off the road by a secret agent sent by the Obama administration for this "trend" to take place.  I don't even know who the third person people are referring to would be.  Of course, they don't kill off someone like Wayne LaPierre, but some random notable person who happens to be a gun owner.   It's really very disconcerting to see so many people who automatically assume that everything that goes on is part of some vast government conspiracy.  There's simply no way we can stop the erosion of our rights when so many on our team are wasting time and energy on this silly conspiracy talk.  It's exactly this sort of rhetoric that helps fuel the arguments of the anti-gunners who use it to portray gun owners as a bunch of anti-government loons who are dangerous, and pushes the sheep who are riding the fence to the other side.  Chris Kyle was murdered, and it is tragic, but it's nothing more than that; a tragic murder.

Without any 'real' facts in this case, I'll wait to find out what the real story is.  The Feds can charge you with anything they like as a pretext to confiscating your property.  If he was a legitimate collector, that collection could have a HUGE value.  If they find any charges that actually stick, then he will most likely lose the guns to asset forfeiture and the agencies will each get a nice chunk of money after the auction.   Asset forfeiture is just a form of legalized theft.

Thanks guys! It was a fun ceremony with great friends and family. The wife rejected the idea of gettin hitched at the shooting match today ... but in general is supportive of the habit. I'm a lucky guy! Looking forward to a lifetime of fun times and good memories.

So, you're saying that Gander Mountain has .22LR ammo in stock?!?

Wouldn't change a thing. The past was not as good as some of you think it was.

I would have liked to have been alive when the stone was rolled away from Jesus's tomb and to have been able to have witnessed it. Other than that I'm happy where God saw fit to put me.

Come on guys, not to single anyone out or call anyone out but lets get with the program. When we signed up for this Spots had a few easy to follow rules; have fun, take pictures, keep it only for a week. I fully understand that life can easily get in the way of little stuff like this but that's, well, life. Keep it a week and send it on. I'd love to see more pass arounds coming out from Spots but if we screw the pooch on this one, that's just not very likely. Lets do this right.

I was honored to attend the wedding of fellow tgo member "npgunner" this evening at the Belmont Mansion in Nashville. Congratulations to you and your beautiful bride. Wishing both of you a lifetime of happiness and love.

This is simply terrible.    I don't buy into the conspiracy theories. This is just further proof that a lot of people have mental health issues.

If a liberal is sick enough to hate our best warriors, they're nothing more than Hanoi Jane. This post is for them...

Try it and let us know how it works out for you!

Well, at worst in TN, you're free to espouse that "right" while serving only 11 months and 29 days in jail and paying $2500.   - OS

That hasn't escaped my attention. Call it tin foil hattery but it is a more than little suspicious to me.

Enjoy every opportunity you can get to do things like that with your dad.  Mine would have been 66 today.  :)

I don't care if he shoots clays, reloads, competes USPSA, or just collects, I do not like him, and I desire him not to patronize me with his fake or real hobbies. He is no friend, acquaintance, or fellow hobbist of mine. :angry:

And another retailer I will never buy from.   Dolomite

Work tomorrow, no drinking tonight. I wished they would change the Superbowl and the NCAA NC game to Saturday night. 

  Yep, 6.8 he is setting the bar high and he's been in office less than a month, he is taking the BS head on and hopefully the other flimsy people will see this is possible and stop doing backbends every time the winds blow.

"This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House."   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: If it really IS a 'official White house Photo', then it is in the public domain and can be used and manipulated for anything you want except for campaign or product endorsements.  I find it amusing that the White House would add that disclaimer, knowing that it's not legal.

That was how I found mine a couple of weeks ago. I walked by the sporting goods counter at Wal-Mart and they had one in the case, said they had it for about two hours. I had to break out the credit card for it, did not know when or if I'd see another one for the right price $447.

It’s just a promotion S&W does for LEO’s. You don’t have to be a cop to buy them. Because cops need three mags for a duty weapon they will put 3 mags with a handgun instead of two and give it a special SKU. Similar thing here, 20 round PMAG instead of 10 round metal mag. People like the “LEO Only” stuff because buyers will pay a lot more for it; really kinda silly on their part. As I said there is a guy selling these “LEO Only” to anyone that wants them at an incredible mark-up; and he will probably get it.

Nice , my dad is 86 , I'm going to watch the Superbowl with him and share a few brews today !

Who needs sights or scope when there's no ammo... ?

  Quite a few people in America turn 21 every day, ya know. :)   - OS

the flood stuff bothers me,  trust no one.

There's just too many incidents, in too short a time frame, to NOT make one wonder.

And hired by whom...

A flintlock would be just about perfect.

Congrats!! Enjoy every moment, they grow up to fast.

So why is this not all over CNN and FOX news?? What should banned now?? Thugs maybe??

Very impressive, I would be embarrassed to shoot against her.

No matter how you slice it, turning someone into a felon for possessing a spring, piece of plastic and a small piece of aluminum is absolutely crazy. These aren't exactly bomb components here. This is the kind of crap that happens in Europe and we laugh about what a police state they live in. This is insanity.

Jeebus has the media nothing else to report on? How about crushing debt, no jobs, Obozo's leftist socialist policys, the cost of Obozo care, worthless unions and politicians and so on. Oh wait.....nobody cares about that...just destroying the Constitution and everything it stands for. Assholes....

If a routine traffic stop turns into felony charges because of some new law against legally owned property, passed in some dark legislative hall.   And said felony would take a substantial portion of one's life, in the form of imprisonment, and be a prohibited person for the remainder of said life.   How long before "I was in fear for my life" becomes the normal response to blue lights?

It's stories like this that make me wonder just how much longer these type of things can go on before people start snapping.

  Forgot your happy pill again today :rofl: . Not a lot of options here. You either do it like that, or round them up and throw them out. They do need to shrink the time period some.

Wish they'd come over my house - I need the brass.

I think that will be furthist from my mind if I have to shoot!  I will be more worried about the mess on the floor than my ear drums.
