Cool, huh?

I carry GOD with me because I know I can't do this alone.

I carry extra weight around because I love biscuits!

I’m not going to be a willing participant in a road rage incident. I have another weapon besides a gun; a cell phone. If someone threatens me with a gun they are going to jail for felony assault.

I travel the road every single day.  Sometimes by bike, sometimes by car.  Please, if you go, 1) Stay in your lane, 2) Use the pull offs, if someone is behind you and they were not a minute ago that means they are faster than you, using one of the 108 (really there are 108 of them) paved pull offs is the courteous thing to do.  3) Ride your own ride at a pace you are comfortable with, if your adrenaline is flowing you are pushing yourself and endangering everyone else on the road.

  That gives me an idea.  A proper hood ornament is probably the only thing left that has not been attached to an AR.  I'm thinking Mercedes as it could also be used as a front sight. 

The Neocons are nothing but liberal progressives hiding under the Republican banner. Benghazi is over. The man is dead and shouldn't have been put into the country while it was still a combat zone (it still is!) The IRS was doing the same things under Obama that it was doing under Bush (different targets is all!)  While the Republicans play these dead issues for political currency, the country is going to crap. I left the Republican party during Bush#1, when I realized the Neocons had taken over. I am now a Conservative Independent and yes you can be a Conservative without being a Republican! There are too many critical issues that impact all of us and they are being ignored to appease the corporate "get rich on middle class tax payer money" crowd.   I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I am an American and I realized long ago that I have nothing to do with how our government is being run. The Muslims are not the greatest threat to American freedoms, the two political parties are our enemy.

I received my confirmation yesterday that I have been accepted into the Nationals in Tulsa OK. I can't wait, this should be fun!!

After nearly 5 years of my wife being our main support while I took care of my parents I am finally going back to work full time and gonna let her retire at 56! Her boss has nearly pushed her over the edge and after many trips to the ER for anxiety issues I knew that it was only a matter of time before she completely snapped. The problem was that she doesn't drive and I couldn't find anything that I could make enough money at to let her quit since I was having to find something around getting her to and from her job. That's a tough one. I have been praying that something good would happen very soon and it did. A girl at church sent me a message on Facebook and said that I should check out her company. She had been there for 12 years and is now a regional manager for 5-6 states out west but still lives here in middle Tennessee. As of 2 hours ago, I have a start date of July 8th!!! One of the benefits is that healthcare will begin after only 30 days and with all of my wife's issues, that is huge. The really good thing is that at age 56 (next month) and no degree I now have a job with a very real chance at earning a 6 figure income!!! All that I can say is "GOD IS GOOD!!!"

I am a whitewater kayaker and we camp whenever we paddle. NO CELL PHONES! I like it! I hate it when I am sitting around a campfire and some Schmuck pulls out a cell phone or other electronic brain sucking device. The campfire is a tradition and electronic light boxes are the devil. I make it a point now to tell everyone that if they want to sit around my campfire, they will have to leave their "light box" behind. A campfire is for people to talk to each other, express ideas, tell stories, tell jokes. When people get to the point when they cannot do without their "light boxes" then we are doomed. DOOMED I SAY! :pleased:

If you go make it up there try to go during a weekday

They have 22lr 525 Remington for $22.99, 9mm 50 rds brass cased for $16.99, federal target 325 22lr for $16.99, also has .40 brass cased 50 rds for $18.99, Winchester 556 20 rds for $12.99.

Yea ... I agree with you. Sounds like a story of two idiots. One who shouldn't be driving a car, and the other who shouldn't be allowed to have a gun. The gun guy really should have thought this out. Going to jail for something idiotic like this is likely to get him "tailed too closely" in a way he cares for even less than on the open road.

Yeah...the Tea Party...I've been to I don't know how many rallies including the March on Washington in '09...did a lot of good didn't it!  We still got Obamacare and Obama got a second term and most of the Republicans currently in the Senate and the house are just as corrupt as the Democrats. Even Tea Party darlings like Rubio have proven they aren't worth s**t and are willing to commit treason to give amnesty to 20Million criminals.   I'll keep voting...probably keep donating to specific candidates but at this point I absolutely believe that this country will have a complete economic collapse...I don't need any of my degrees to figure out that inflating the money supply with trillions of completely worthless dollars and spending 140% of what you take in wont end well.   I just hope I can be as prepared for it as possible before it all goes to hell in a handbasket.

I have experienced the progressive underminings of citizens' rights by a tyranical government in my country of birth Venezuela.   That is how they started, undermining the value of the military and having them participate in civil tasks, making them loosen their deffese of the border with Colombia and ignore  FARC which is the narcogerrilla terrirosts, doing these things more and more of the true patriot military leaders either oppossed and quit or were kicked out or imprisoned.   At the same time these communists led by Chavez, taught and mentored by the Castros, began arming parallell groups of militias called "Circulos Bolivarianos" who were used to terrorize the citizenry. At the same time the national guard was being purged of any opposition and given more and more power to control internal ('domestic") uprisings... through all this they made it harder and harder for the common citizen to own guns finally banning gun ownership but for a select few with influence, a lot of money or connections with the goverment and always blaming the raising crime rate for said gun control.   Right now people are finally waking up and realizing the terrible damage Chaves's reign did and what his sucessors are doing, they're waking up because they are no longer blinded by the prescence of their hero. It is a critical time in the country after the current administration that took over with Chaves's death stole the elections and have been forcing all powers to legitimize it.    The problem is that the opposition and the citizens who now know they are the majority have no choice but to hold peaceful protests and ask for international intervention. At all these peaceful protests a few people die, more are wounded and many imprisoned, less and less people go now in fear of what happens. The "Circulos" "Tupamaros" and other armed groups terrorize and hurt people while the national guard who act like they are not there but they ride motorcicles carrying long guns in plain flags like they were flags. less and less people will protest in the street.   It is very unlikely the corrupt government will fall. 14 years going on 15... His first canpaign run was on CHANGE and the end of traditional corrupt government.    I could'nt yet vote and was telling my friends not to vote for him, his associations warned us he was a communist. They all laughed at me with similar insults as your tin hat joke.   This is serious.   I couldn't yet vote here when I was telling all my friends about BHObama's associations, I became a citizen and voted agaist him in the second election, it's all I have done until now I am writing this... I am convinced he read Chavez's history and is following his and Castro's manual...   This is serious.   Before dismissing it like it were a joke let's all just look at the facts and read the history. The communists are reading the history, they know how to make us not do anything until it is too late.

Congrats,   I'm still looking myself but got interviews this coming week.

Sounds like Kershawguy is living up to his reputation. He didn't have to do anything on a blem.

I contacted both KershawGuy and ZT to see if they had seen this before, or if they had any suggestions on possibly removing the spots. I emailed the same photo that I posted here. It's a blemish, so I didn't bother inquiring about a return or exchange.   ZT responded first. They claimed to have never seen anything like it before, and were  unable to suggest a way to remove the spots. I mentioned the Scotch-Brite that someone else suggested, and they said "go for it". Pretty well a waste of time.   KershawGuy said that it appears to be rusting under the Tungsten DLC coating. I also mentioned the Scotch-Brite suggestion to him, and he said that would only damage the coating. While he didn't have to, and i didn't even ask, he told me to send it back for a replacement. He should have received it late last week. If he ships the new one as fast as he did the first, the replacement should be here Monday or Tuesday.

Not only did the Constitution not even slow them down, but they were looking for only ONE 19 year old bean pole? Just why could this have not been an exercise/experiment to see just how far they could go with no retribution?

Here is one I did a few years ago. It was actually very easy and only took about an hour to do. Here is another with the same kind but it was a little to gray for my area. It needed more greens. BTW, these were done with Krylon. It is the easiest to use and touch up. Once it has cured for a few weeks it is really durable. You can handle and use it the same day but is a little easy to chip.

  You shoulda had Chucky T with you. He would have chased him down and sizzled his nuts on the pavement. :)

Meh, I'm not really interested in arguing semantics. And no I'm not "upset" at all, I am however a bit bewildered by some of the responses, seems like everyone wants to argue/debate details & definitions instead of addressing the actual problems. Communism, socialism, marxism, totalitarianism, authoratarianism, Obamaism, pick your prefered poison, it all has the same end result.

[url=http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/gjohnsoniv/media/cammiedar.jpg.html][/URL] I later painted my lower and optic (not shown) and got rid of that stupid grip.

Probably the BEST one I've ever seen.

Went a couple years back, it was a good time for sure. I'd love to do it again, but I've got nothing to ride/drive that it'd be any fun in. I took my car last time. And yes, it had air ride, it wasn't static. Although it wasn't much higher than pictured when we were carving corners

lmao funny you should post this cause in all seriousness i was considering getting one of these now that summer (bug season) is here .. it shoots a tiny ammount of salt with every shot kinda like "bug shot" out of a shotgun

The pretrip is the hardest part. If you can drive, you can drive a truck. Shifting might get you if you don't know how to double clutch or float the gears. That might take some time if you can't find an automatically shifting manual to test in. The written test is easy, the driving portion is easy. The health card is all up to you, easy or not based on your health. Vision and certain health issues, such as diabetes can instantly fail you.   The pretrip is a nightmare, something like 140 points they can check you on. You have to all the way around, tires, brakes, air system, fuel, etc, touching, naming and describing good or bad.    My company has used a private tester for years, and that is the route I suggest if you can.

Tramontina is sort of a world standard, Cold Steel's stuff ain't bad, bit on thin side but indestructible, if you want to step up some, look at Condor's machete line, they're brutes and pretty too -- the sheaths alone are worth the price, and several of them are under $50 street price:   http://www.condortk.com/index.php   - OS

I can tell you which one to stay away from. I bought a couple of the cheap ones from Walmart and they are cheap. sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Excited to have Hunter at the range tomorrow. Hope he enjoys the course of fire on a wonderful day at the range! Hunter Cayll updated the description. im a No Handed marksman pursuing 3 gun competitions ill be posting videos and information about events

So DaveS question for you.   You posted this in another thread: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/65835-must-a-person-take-a-butt-whoopin-before-you-pull-a-firearm/page-3   So how is it OK for you to "let the air out of them" and Zimmerman is in the wrong for doing exactly the same thing?    You have acknowledged several times in this thread that Martin was on top of Zimmerman and he let the air out of Trayvon for using his hands in an aggressive manner. If it is legal for you to do it why is it now illegal for someone else to do it?  

Meh, not too worried. If its true and they wanna bang heads, come get some. I'm looking at my prospective future and I ain't really interested in being a crusty old man anyway.

Shut up. No farting.

We have similar backgrounds & I am also well traveled. Only the foolish or deluded would deny the growing similarities between America 2.0 & the former Soviet Union. You yourself just said: "I think the man (obama) is intentionally doing everything he can to destroy the country". Well considering he promised to "fundamentally transform" the nation, I'd say he's just making good on his promise, the real question is transform it into what though? A communist nation-state? based on his track record that'd be a solid bet, what happens to dissidents in a communist nation? Are dissenting opinions welcomed into the public discourse? Are they allowed to participate in the political process? Or are they repressed? what are they repressed with? A massive domestic police force? & what has the DHS become? If pointing out the obvious is considered "looney" ... and ignoring or mocking the obvious is "normal" what does that tell you about the current mindset of the American people?

And the leftist anti-war people are quiet as a church mouse......

Not a bad idea either.  I'll look into the enamel pins and see what those cost.

You could even wear a pin with a suit at things like an NRA banquet or other function where you might not be wearing a hat or a vest.....just a thought.....

  I would not recommend Calhoun's to someone from Memphis.  It's awful BBQ.

Eat at Big Eds Pizza

This bullshit again??????  Here you go: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/62043-dhs-purchases-2700-light-armored-tanks/ and to save you some time (even though he went through and edited his article, the numbers haven't changed): http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/03/robert-farago/the-truth-about-the-dhs-mraps/   Its not 2700 vics.    And it's not 1.6 Billion rounds of ammunition.  That was cleared up.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/26/reps-challenge-dhs-ammo-buys-say-agency-using-1000-more-rounds-per-person-than/   1.3k-ish per person?  I laugh at that.  Sounds like a good weekend or a pistol course or two.  350 for the Army?  Sounds about right.....and thats fucking embarrassing.  The only reason I'm able to shoot as much as I can is that I'm in Afghanistan.....and I'm still having trouble sourcing 9mm. 9mm in Garrison is even worse.   Who falls under DHS for this training/duty ammo?  CBP, ICE, Air Marshals, USSS, FLETC, Coast Guard, INS, etc.  There are a lot of agencies who need to train.  Don't cry foul when they ask for ammo .   Its also an IDIQ contract, not a purchase order.    Also, this "retired" Captain....what's his deal?  I would love, love, love to read his OER's.  Just reading the last entry on his bio makes me wonder: http://combatsoldier.wordpress.com/about/  He was NOT in the 82nd.

I wonder if that's what every other citizen of every other communist country thought just prior to it happening to them.

If prices don't go back down I'll be finding a new hobby and keeping what I have on hand for when TSHTF.     $25/100 is probably my limit for 9mm unless I'm only shooting a few times a year.

here ya go     There is no difference between dems and repubs.  They are all the same.   Vote out any and all incumbents,  Even those who have fooled you into thinking they are the good guys.

And they say the AR is America's Rifle.  :lol:   Soon every comrade will have Mosin for the glorious shooting sports.

Can I ask, what's the deal with the Mosins? It's like everyone here is ranting and raving over them?

The Mosin that austin7.62 has for sale is an M44, which is a more expensive carbine variant of the Mosin model 91/30 that is the topic of the OP and this thread. His price for the M44 is a good current market price.

Dicks won't have d-i-c-k!  They got out of the gun business after Sandyhook.

Haha. Forget that. $179 is outrageous. I bet they still had the enfield for $800 on the rack too lol.

Still trying to find a source of this information other than some guy's blog. I could say the DHS just bought 2,700 Tie Fighters but it doesn't make it true and it doesn't mean DHS is building a Death Star.
