You have to go to the Pensacola Naval Base Museum.

If you're getting your best man a pistol, I am available as a backup should he come down with the flu.  :stare:

At long last my effort to build a M1941 USMC Sniper re-creation is finished and tested. It began as this Pawn Shop find. A M1903 Mark I that bubba had D&T to the point that it had more holes than a slice of Swiss Cheese. Now after all of the "Re-Creation." Interesting what you can do with all of the left-over stuff in your spare parts box. The pre-war Springfield C Stock and the cut-down handguard I had picked up at a collectors show a while back. I already had all of the 1903 metal parts to include a complete rear sight and Nickel Steel bolt and grooved National Match trigger and sear. Ben Schade (Gunsmith at the Lebanon Gun Shop (615) 547-9600) plugged all of the old holes and then did a new D&T for the Leatherwood Malcolm 8X USMC Sniper Scope. I was thinking about doing a re-park of all the metal, but with the stock's patina I felt that a fresh metal refinish would look out of place. So I used an old trick of using a heat gun on the metal and with 0000 steel wool, rubbed hard into the remaining finish with Brownell's Oxpho-Blue Crème. Afte a week or two soaking in CLP, the finish takes on a blacken look of the old Springfield finish. Before. After. And the best part of all - - - This rifle will hold the Ten-Ring at 600 yards using match ammo. Heck, I just might have to shoot a F Class Mid-Range match with it.

good thing she did not want to be a Boy Scout

Be careful what you say, the "Mauve Hand" is watching and they are plotting faaaaabulous plots.

Thanks for posting this Tanker.  I saw it the other day and chortled a bit.  Ive got zero confidence that a university tenured journalism puke is gonna do anything; but i gotta admire the style. Their problem is they aint very credible as "death angels" to their imagined enemies. I simply cant imagine these university types as SS "death angels"....   He aint gonna take up his sword and carry anything out.  It's the usual statist, elitist windbaggery.   By the way; i wonder if this "threat and exhortation to do bad things" can be prosecuted under the "insightment to do violence"  statute ALA our great US AG for East Tennessee's intrepretation RE: the muslum community....?   Maybe he will stand up for the NRA members in Tennessee and interview and fully investigate this potentially "dangerous" person.  How about a civil rights seminar and meeting for us "Tennessee NRA Rustics"....RE:  our rights...?   Typical empty, childish, school yard hyper-speech for the nut fringe wing fringe of socialist academia i say.  Red meat for the "low information children" and statist weenies.   I'm kinda like Grand: i say: "....come on down any time ya feel like startin the extermination.  Why wait?  No better time than now...".   NRA leroy, gunowner

I invite those liberal SOB's to try to exterminate members of the NRA any time they please. I'll be waiting at the end of the driveway for them. Anyone else?

What jurers should be told is they also have the option of nullification. That is finding the law the defendant broke as unjust and refusing to punish him for breaking an unjust law. He may have been guilty of breaking the law, as written, but it doesn't mean the law itself is just and legal.   There are thousands of laws that are unjust and people were convicted because most jurors are unaware of the right of nullification. Had the jurors known they could declare the law unjust a lot of people would be free.   Maybe if more juries were to nullify and begin ruining DA's conviction rates they would quit charging people with laws that are unjust.

Today I'm 40! Whew, it's going to hurt the first time I have to write in my age on a form with the first number being a 4 instead of a 3. But that being said, I'm not complaining. I see a lot of people way worse off than I am at 40. I have a beautiful daughter and wife, a family that says I love you after each phone conversation or visit, and I'm a cancer survivor. Pretty much, I'm saying thanks to the Lord up above for blessing me with 40 years to enjoy all of the above!   P.S. Y'all are included in my reasons to be happy also. Glad I found this place and the members who are a part of it. David and mods, thanks for all you do!

God Bless Bullet Proof Vest.   There is a reason my wife and the mother to my LEO son has laid hands upon and prayed over his vest.   BTW - - - She would do the same to my Body Armour each and every time I deployed. 

  Well, if would have been a pretty tough sell to have remained neutral after a third or whatever of our navy was destroyed in one fell swoop.   Unless BHO had been prez.   - OS

45...........minor gunshot wound. I thought a 45 would take your leg clean off if it so much as breezes by you.

That one song by Nickleback, and by "one song" I mean all of them. They are all the same song and they are all just horrifically terrible.

Enlighten me, how exactly was Germany a threat to our nation existence?  Obviously we took two separate history classes in college, because I see no way that Germany was going to even attempt an invasion let alone alone succeed.   I do know that FDR ran on a platform that he would never send US troops to die in a European war, all the while plotting and scheming trying to get the US drawn into a war with Germany.   How we violated our neutrality time and time again, trying to draw Germany into attacking us to have an excuse to go to war with them.   My generation?  I never said my generation has done anything special, but we're still in our 20's and 30's, the vast majority aren't old enough to be elected President yet...  who knows what my generation will do, probably nothing except work our entire lives to pay for old people to retire in comfort playing golf for the last 30 years of their life, while we're forced to work until we die and never see a penny of the money we paid into a Government backed Ponzi scheme.  And watch as our child and their children are forced to try and pay back 17 trillion dollars (and counting) because we spent the second half of the 20th century trying to build an empire that had our founding fathers rolling in their graves over ;)   If you can't tell my tongue is firmly planted against my cheek on the above paragraph...  I'm not trying to say my generation is better than anybody else's, only that we place generations on a pedestal by forgetting what really happened in history.   And yes, my generation will own Obamacare, and whatever else we allow the government to do in our names that limits freedom for all future generations.     

Blasphemy!

All hip hop except the Beastie Boys.

I love telling libtards that they may just have to jump in their Volvos and take my guns themselves. I usually don't get a response.

  My hilite.   Hersh is exactly spot on on this.... He is dead right....  It is designed and contrived with the intent of scaring the citizenry and chilling dissenting speech and other protected activities.    This is nothin more than a potential (...and i repeat, potential...) method to harass dessenters from the "pathway to utopia" via the "chicago way" carried out by an arm of the Executive Branch of the federal government with arrest power and a de facto license to shoot the citizenry if it resists during official visits. The power to use the courts to harass "political enemies" (...read that as citizens who wont bow down and dont agree with the regieme's policies and actions....) and to use federal officers armed with the power shoot interviewees in the performance of these "official intervews" and harassing legal proceedings is the big concern.  That's why this is a potentially serious thing; despite our giggling about it.  It is, in fact, government out of control.   The actual issue, whowever, is more "Gibson exotic wood raid" and "IRS audit" stuff.  It is malicious investigation and harassment of political enemies.    Our esteemed U S Attorney for East Tennessee full well knows a citizen cannot be prosecuted for expressing their views that meet the "protected speech" rules under the First Amendment.  If ya dig around in these court rulings you will see the justices refer to issues of a public nature (...that is, issues such as questions as to the conflict between people groups as to religion --- Muslum vs Judism vs Christianity; theoracy vs republican government; shria law vs constitutional law, taxes, potential questionable biological heritage of polititians and bureaucrats,  ... bla bla bla... ya get the picture...) as "protected speech".  He has to know that.   leroy

Typical flawed logic of the libtard mind. The government is everything. An Abrams tank does a good job of blowing holes in a concentrated force. Doesn't work so well with the "behind every blade of grass" concept. Numbers matter. 

How does a boy that age know what to do in a situation like that? Must have decent parents. 

"And their assault arsenal and RPGs won’t do them any good."    Did I miss the NRA sign-up for RPG's..?  I hate it when that happens.

  Have you checked on mp-pistol.com to see what the forum members there are using?   Honestly, the Shield is sort of a "get the f--- off me" gun designed more for conversation distances than medium range distances.  The way it's mean to be employed would make point-shooting viable.  The factory sights are more than adequate for that.

I received my new knife today. Some of you Special Forces guys may have earned this knife, which is known as the Yarborough. excerpt taken from http://news.soc.mil/releases/News Archive/2010/March/100328-02.html The knife I have is the civilian version, known as the Green Beret. I already had the 5.5 inch Green Beret, so when I ran across this 7 inch model at a fantastic price, I had to have it. Chris Reeve makes some of the finest production knives available, and this knife is no exception. For those interested in a moderately priced fixed blade that will pretty much last you a lifetime and withstand hard use, I would highly recommend one of these. (edit) - I just noticed that Chris Reeve Knives won the 2013 Blade Show Manufacturing Quality Award. That is 11 in a row and 13 out of the last 14 years. I think that says a lot about their knives.

Custom Knife perhaps? Less expensive than some pistols and truly unique.

pretty much all of us have unisex bathrooms in our homes. Why is there this perverse need to separate people when in a public restroom?

I'm not as kind and reasonable as some are.  Frank Lautenberg was a grandfatherly old man and grandpaw to someone who loved him; and i'm willing to concede and accept that fact.  He was also one of the most dangerous statist sons of Marx that made it way too entirely long (...in my view...) into the twenty-first century.  He and others like him have done this country and its citizens great harm and no one who loves freedom should be sad that he is gone to his reward.   Frank Lautenberg was a thoroughly dangerous opportunistic man; and was no friend to this country, freedom, or the Constitution. He could have just as well been decorated with the Order of Lennin for his service to socialism, as he could have been a WW 2 veteran.  As others have opined; i wonder which side he fought on....?   His votes, "public service", and belief system gave us people like Barak Obama and this pseudo socialist government we have today. He has pillaged the pockets of citizens, taken their rights, and enriched himself and his sorry associates for many a year.  People like Frank Lautenberg believe that folks like us "delightful rustics' are a rabble to be controlled and serfs to pony up whatever the "ruling elites" demand.   Frank Lautenberg (...and others like him....)  brought old world belief systems and serfdom to the new world.  They believed that they were the "best and brightest" and that the citizenry was a rabble to be controlled and to be made to bow down to these "ruling elites"; just as they have been made to do in New Jersey and New York.  If he had have had his way; the "New Jersey and New York" way would have been made the law of this entire land.   Dont be sad that he is dead.  You can be polite to the family; but dont gloss over the truth.  Remember this; everybody blesses us in some way; some by staying and helping, some by leaving.  Thank you Lord that You have called this dangerous man to his reward.   leroy

old people die, it happens every day.  Lautenberg was a poster boy for what is wrong with American politics.  Good riddance to bad rubbish.

So I went to Global Loan and Pawn in Downtown Lenoir City, and in 5 min they had lost my business forever.   9mm was $35 for a box of 50 (target). .40sw was $30 for 50 (target). .45acp was $65 for 50 (target) .308 was $45 for 20 rounds 7.62x39 was $35 for 20 rounds .223 was $45 for 20 rounds. But I think the biggest kick in the pants was .22lr $29 for 50 rounds of bulk pack plinking ammo. Yes that is right $29. And the guy said, "price is negotiable by a couple dollars."   I will never shop there again. I know supply is hard to get, but that is just ridiculous.

I've got to admit, I can't help but laughing. His recovery was both touching and completely appropriate. Great job!

Lol good one bigk

Happy Birthday it will get easier  :stunned:

  I think it is funny (as in odd, not comical) that, as an HCP holder, if I were so inclined I could legally carry so many firearms on me at one time that I could barely walk, can legally have (if I wish) multiple loaded long guns behind the seat of my vehicle but could be arrested and jailed for carrying a switchblade or a knife with a blade over 4 inches in length.  Are knives even more prone to jumping out and going on a killing spree, all on their own, than guns?   I think the whole switchblade thing comes from the same, senseless 'legislating by emotion' place that makes some moronic politicians want to ban firearms just because they have features which make them 'look' scary to some observers.  It has nothing to do with actual functionality, potential lethality or potential for misuse and everything to do with switchblades upsetting some nervous Nellies' sensabilities.

  It has been my experience that every, single pawnshop that I have ever visited in our area is overpriced on most everything.  Not just ammo, not just guns but most everything.  Just for curiosity's sake, next time you are in a pawnshop look at the price they have on, say, a 'well-used' (as in nearly worn out) lawnmower or other piece of power equipment.  Generally, you could buy a new piece of equipment for just a few dollars more.   Some guys on other (national) gun forums talk about finding deals at their local pawnshops but I haven't seen any around here.  Heck, even Gouger Mountain might be ashamed of some of the pawnshop prices I have seen.   Is the pawnshop you are talking about the one that is in the old Leo's Pulled Pig barbecue restaurant location?  If so, the first (and last) time I was in there, they had a Rohm RG .38 Special that had a lot of holster wear and looked like it had seen some rough treatment in their case.  The price they had on it was close to $300.  This was when they first opened a couple of years ago, long before the gun/ammo craze - when you could still find police trade in S&W model 10s for less than that in local gun stores.  I know folks say you can usually 'haggle' with pawnshops but when starting prices are roughly double (or more) what the item is worth then there is really no point, IMO.

The song that never ends from Lamb Chops Play Along

He had all sorts of plans, invade Russia (crazy), invade the middle east (even more crazy), but he didn't have a plan to invade North or South America.  You're right, 10, 15, 20 years down the line he might have been a threat...  but, why didn't he invade Switzerland then?  If all he wanted was world domination why did he leave Switzerland alone, right next door?  Compared to Russia or the US, Switzerland would have been an easy target.   Yes I believe we should go back to an non-intervention policy, countries that stay out of other people's business don't seem to get attacked or invaded on a regular basis.  How is that short sighted?  We've tried nearly 100 years of getting involved all over the globe, how is that working out for us?  How about we try some trade with the world, and keep our noses out of the affairs of other people for a 100 years and see how that works out?  Can it really be worse than the last 100 years?   I believe we can continue to be a world superpower, have the the most powerful military in the world here inside the US to protect us from attack, and if people make the mistake of attacking us destroy their civilization back into the stone age...  Without having 900 military bases all over the world, without having to provide billions of dollars in tax payer money to governments who are evil and hostile not only to their own people but are no friend of ours...  just because of 'national security'.   Call me crazy, but maybe just maybe it wouldn't hurt to try a little less intervention?    

Two words - BATTLE MUG   http://www.battlemug.com/

A bible, a gun, a love of country, and a military background. Of which this guy has none so he is GTG.

I don't see how this is true and/or how it applies here.   Certainly, it's true of some homosexuals want "the church" to change its stance on gays (marriage, clergy, etc.) but I don't believe that there is any large conspiracy going on to make that happen.  I'm not even sure it would matter if there was; after all, pick any 20 churches and you'll likely find 8 to 10 different opinions about homosexuals; , sometimes even within the same denomination!   I also don't see how this issue with the BSA has anything to do with getting into the church - first because the two largest Christian sects (LDS and Cathlotics) have already stated they don't have a problem with the change. Second, not all BSA groups are sponsored by/meet in a church. Finally, I don't see how a church continuing or not continuing a relationship with the BSA impacts the doctrine of the church???   Respectfully; I think a lot of people look at the fringe element of the homosexual community and assume what they see is true for the whole. Making that assumption is no more accurate than judging a Tea Party gathering based on the most radical fringe who show up or judging all "Christian churches" by looking only at the reprehensible acts of Westboro Baptist.

Robert, There are a lot of thing I disagree with you on, but this thread ain't one of them. Right on.

Well after flexing my google-fu it seems you are correct. How in the world I came up with that I have no idea. I'll also blame that on youthful ignorance haha.

Do the Spots look like this:

I see this type of stockpile as a investment. But, only if you have enough other assets that are more quickly converted to cash if needed or a safe full of cash if an emergency arises. Items to barter in hard times is pretty smart. Alcohol, gasoline, food, ammo and so on will be worth more than cold hard cash depending on the scenario.   Not for me to judge, just seemed odd.

I sa wthat on TV last night.  Wow, he was certainly raised right.

Is it really so extraordinary that someone could be born with an innate attraction to the same sex?   If you are straight were you not "born that way"; with an innate attraction to the opposite sex?   Science may or may not ever uncover a genetic marker for homosexuality but I see no reason why it cannot exist.

Well if that's the case I feel somewhat like a dick for saying what I did, however if it were for scalping purposes I don't feel bad at all.

I would caution against using NFA for HD. If something does happen you are going to be without your stuff for a very long time. Even if you are 100% right they are going to hold your stuff until the trial is over.   Also, 200 yards is mighty optimistic for a SD situation. You would have a hard time explaining why you shot rather than run if the bad guy is 200 yards away.   If you want light you need to forget about aluminum. You need to get a polymer lower and carbon fiber free float tube to keep the weight down. I have a 20" AR in 223 that weighs an honest 5 pounds. It would be easy to duplicate because I used all off the shelf parts. You could do the same in 300 Blackout and save a little weight with a 16" barrel.   And as much of a fan of the 300 I am I would take a hard look at a 9mm carbine. There is no muzzle blast to contend with without a suppressor. It will be loud but no where near as loud as a 300 BO. It is generally easier to charge than most other calibers. Out of a rifle barrel it gives 357 Magnum type performance. And the best thing is the gun is a blowback which makes it supremely reliable. My wife's 9mm AR has over 9K rounds through it and it has been cleaned 3 times since new. And if you must suppress it will suppress easier and cheaper than a 300 Blackout. A 9mm suppressor is generally smaller and lighter than suppressors that will work with full power 300BO. I would NEVER use subsonic 300 Blackout for a self defense round. I have been doing a lot of testing as of late and they pass right through water jugs without tumbling or expanding. A slow, heavy bullet is more likely to over penetrate than a lighter faster bullet.

Maybe they were holding a Scout meeting in there or something.

  I hear you Robert, but he was the enemy. I didn't start the war on guns, and certainly won't grieve when their ranks are thinned.
