So I was installing a water line today at a very old, backwoods house and dug up something intresting. Its an 1851 Colt Navy pattern cap and ball. I disassembled it to a degree at lunch, it is complete except for the grips. Just thought Id share the coolest thing I ever dug up. My guess is its a reproduction, but not sure how to tell. It was a good 2 ft in the ground. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

2 feet down and you think it's a reproduction ?

He has a cool pattern and bright green against the black. I wish I would have had a better camera handy. I hope that's the last snake I see for a long time though. I moved him to the field behind my house.

All I can say is when that guy in the White House Promised Change he meant it and now the people that voted for him are seeing it. I hope they are happy with his change and I hope everyone that voted for change gets to experience it.  Thing is I kinda liked the way it was before his change but I guess I was in the minority huh?

My wife is making fun of me because I repack my Daypack about every hour or two :)

Seems like 9mm is getting cheaper and cheaper I got a case of magtech 9mm 115gr FMJ Brass today for $227 shipped from sportsmanguide I was going to post the deal up but it was OOS quick It's a good sign anyways

I will do everything in my power to see Butcorker and Lamer not get reelected.

it is just a matter of time when we will see this stuff over here.  stay alert, stay alive.  carry your gun. 

Couple of my friends and I decided to make the drive to Georgia last week and visit as many of the film locations we could find. We managed to see a bunch of them. Some of the locations are off limits like the farm house which is privately owned, the prison is actually a studio set and the rock quarry is owned by the city of Atlanta and is posted. Other than that we seen a bunch. It's cool cause some of the locations are far apart but seem like they are just around the corner on the series and some are really close but seem far away in the series. We did visit "Woodbury" which is actually Senoia, GA. It was pretty fun driving the back roads of Georgia looking for these places. They have an app called GA walking dead tours and it's a do it yourself help guide. The town of Senoia is actually home to a bunch of different films and TV shows. We plan on going back soon and finding the new season locations and some we missed. In these pics I took a pic and combined it with either the scene pic from the movie or a pic that represents what it is. If you have seen the show you will know most of them. http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377955205429_zps97ecbaa4.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377996529299_zps84621ee0.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377996456966_zps8379e9a7.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377996415678_zps4b4cb508.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377996415678_zpsdfdf0546.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377995812996_zps596ec840.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377995656880_zpsfa6ea842.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377995415753_zps2bf9382e.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377994637659_zpsf5ea872a.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377994423355_zpsd0c92b2e.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377994143389_zps71d91692.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377990001880_zps9554e65d.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377982982894_zpse4ce0c9c.jpg http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/bean962/PhotoGrid_1377982935360_zpsa5e4cc7c.jpg

I can shoot it but can't sell, trade or give it away. This is a 1954 made Savage 24 .22LR/.410. It has had one shot fired through it back in 1954. Note the hang tag. This was what my father in law gave my mother in law for a wedding present! My MIL gave it to me to keep. FIL has been deceased 3 yrs.

It was in the paper recently of the local fire department doing some dive training at a (small) lake here and they turned up a dozen firearms. I'm considering putting a couple of magnets in my tackle box.

I can't, I have to save the battery so I can call everyone I know and scream "HEY I KILLED A DEER!!! Now I'm going to give you the whole play by play, starting with when I woke up this morning!" :lol:

It has a serial number on the frame of 30409 and it looks hand stamped? Tapatalk ate my spelling.

would be something it if turns out to be the real deal.   Cleaning it up might not be the best out of the box idea if original.

That's awesome!!! :up:

    "He got birch slapped" is my fav :)

Whatever kind works best in your gun.

    Pull the emergency brake and spin the steering wheel.  Turn right around from where you where going.   That is the best course of action.

I am pretty sure it is a Common Kingsnake.   http://www.tennsnakes.org/kingsnake_black_speckled.htm

So when does Sadie become part of the pack as opposed to just a temporary resident?

:rofl: what will yall come up with next?

For those of you who missed it, Sen. Ted Cruz in his filibuster against funding Obamacare, just read "Green Eggs and Ham" to the gathered august body of blowhards.  His punchline was perfect:  "I do not like Obamacare with a fox in a box, or with a mouse in the house."  That's putting it on their level.  :rofl:

Simple:   Have gun, will travel. ...but the heater doesn't work in his '89 Tercel, so he has to wear gloves to keep his fingers nimble enough to operate his Glock.   You're welcome.  :hat:     ...TS...

Good read.  Mock scrapes can work.  I have had some success using them.  The biggest advantage is it gets the deer to stop and focus his attention on something other than that big fat thing up in the tree.  :nervous:

Of all the post on TGO that I have participated in, and even twice that many that I stay out of, this story absolutely leaves me searching for something to say! I'm at a loss of words!   DaveS

NPR will piss you off on a regular basis, also, but it's the best game in my area for news in the morning, (just keep your BS filter up to date), and I like Car Talk on the weekends while I'm in the shop. Plus I can't stand pop-rap-new country&western (hahaha), indie rock, etc, etc.  A solid hour of Rush and Hannity just annoys me, also. 

Interesting to me as more governments join and/or ratify this treaty- knowing that the government-to-government back-door arms trades have always been "outside the law",  this law can only serve to widen the power-gap between governments and the citizens those governments should be serving.   Ominous.   Let me also say, that I am absolutely for.. for... for compassion - for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all members of the human race.  It breaks my heart to see people in pain from violence - no matter who they are or where they are.  I want kids, women, and men to be safe in all countries, BUT... effectual stability, safety, and security (and root morality) will always be a local cultural issue - it has never been governmental and will never be.  Governments (the systems, not the individuals) are designed to rule... and if left unchecked, the system will work to bring every experience under that rule.     Intersting about the United Nations... it generally lacks oomph to effectively adjudicate and regulate government entities that offend, so it has resorted to encouraging governments (many of whom are not egregious offenders) to regulate their own citizens.     I don't buy into sinister conspiricy theories; I simply think the systems are functioning as they were designed - what are missing are effective checks and balances.   The world  - through increased population and technology is increasing in complexity.  (IT & programmers, check me on this) Whenever you increase the complexity of a system, you have to increase the structure (rules) to maintain stability and functionality.   Not to over-bibliocize this - but in wisdom literature, you can look to the Christian Scriptures:  Israel asked for a King - their God said, "You don't know what you are asking; trust me when I say, you don't want a King."  Israel essentially demanded, "Yes, give us a King!!"  - Israel got their kings and -through good and bad kings, Israel paid the price for giving their collective representation over to a King.      In societies' desire for safety and security, masses of people are asking for a King - more rule of law - to keep them safe.  Many of us are responding... "You don't know what you are asking; trust me when I say, you do not want a King."    Orwell much anyone?

I can't believe I wasted the time to read this thread. Time for a trip to the Waffle House....

Yes they will. They will work with any high percentage alchol I've found, including hand sanitizer, 91% rubbing alcohol and everclear Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Forget about the ancient Greeks, just look at them over the last few years.

I think a lot of you are underestimating the number of hours a server works too.  By the time you include getting to the job on time, going through line up, reviewing the menu/specials, setting up, working, closing down, doing side work, etc....you're looking at an easy 8 hours.   I haven't worked in a restaurant since 2005 but I can't imagine that its changed that drastically.  I worked in one of the better places in Memphis and that job was no joke with regards to the stress of dealing with people and the managers.  Waiting tables is not easy.  Again, you can recognize someone who has worked in a restaurant before.  They recognize the difference between BS excuses and good work.   And they tip accordingly.

I would love to see someone draw from one of those jackets under stress.

  Tula .223 is actually over $5 now. $5.27 I think.

I think it was designed to fail. That way, when people are hurting the most, the government can swoop in and "fix" it with a single-payer system. It's what they really wanted in the first place anyway.

  I think the main point is that the folks are sick of watching Congress pull all these esoteric parliamentary hijinks at the 11th hour instead of just tackling problems in a straightforward way with at least a modicum of foresight.   - OS

Wish it was gonna be a Cabelas!!

We need more Si and less Pelosi.

Just because I'm getting screwed by the IRS doesn't make me bitter about it enough to help them screw somebody else. I wholeheartedly support anyone in their efforts to avoid the legal plunder, the outright theft that is our tax code.

It's a workhorse, but this is my favorite part...

Welcome, I am a newcomer to the forums also but I have lived in TN all my life. Noting wrong with being prepared. I always fall back on the ole Boy Scout motto: be prepared.   37 years at the Sheriff's Office- I bet there are a few interesting stories in there somewhere. Thank you for you service to the community.   Hope you enjoy the forums and look forward to meeting up with you again on TGO!

It's free, so it'll attract a lot of deadbeats.

It sounds thoroughly unpleasant to shoot.  That and the ammo/brass availability would run me off.

I don't see what anyone would gain in antagonizing an LEO over something as simple as a request for ID. If you aren't doing anything wrong, what's lost besides a few minutes of your time? You may wind up having a pleasant conversation and making a friend. If you're a jackass and put up a fight over showing some ID, what is there to possibly gain?
