Translation: Money talks. We thought the gay lobby had more money but apparently not. We now favor whomever will give us the most money. Thanks for your continued support.

Yep, the older I get , the more I seem to bitch. I promised my wife that I will try to stop complaining and be more positive . I will do this but before I stop the bitching , let me make one more complaint :  The Walmart Ammo Scalpers . I went back to the hunting and fishing section of Walmart looking at their selection of the Leatherman's and Pocket Multi-tools. While there it seemed like a cattle gate holding back some giant angry bulls . A whole lot of idiots hoarding the ammo that had just came it. I dont blame the guys for buying ammo when you see it . But here's the part that bothers me . When I did leave , I sat in my car a minute arranging some paperwork. Then I saw the  same group of guys come out of the store that bought the ammo . They all  met over at one guys truck who then took all the  ammo and then looked like he was paying them for it . I am pretty sure this guy paid them a small fee for buying it and then he will probably jack up the price and sell it 3-4 times more than what he paid for it at Walmart . I know this is all legal but man ...... Ok I feel better now .

The U.S. government has just passed a new law called: "The Affordable Horse Act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a horse, by April 2014. These "affordable" horses will cost an average of $24,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, trailering, training, feed and farrier fees, boarding, show and transportation fees, veterinarian bills or the occasional hospitalization. This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase horses. This new laws ensures that every American can now have an "affordable" horse of their own, because everyone is "entitled" to a horse. If you purchase your horse before the end of the year, you will receive 4 "free" saddle pads; not including monthly usage fees. In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable horse, the costs of owning a horse will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who can’t afford to maintain their horse will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can ride their parents horse to show on until they turn 27; then must purchase their own horse. • If you already have a horse, you can keep yours (just kidding - no you can’t). • If you don't want or don't need a horse, you are required to buy one anyhow. • If you refuse to buy a horse or can’t afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment. Failure to ride your horse will also result in fines. People living in the inner-city; low-desert, or who live in cities or areas with no access to stables or show-rings are not exempt. Age, fear of falling, no equestrian experience, neither horsemanship skills, nor inability to ride are acceptable excuses for not using your horse. A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between the withers, fetlock or tail of a horse) will decide everything, including: when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your horse … along with how many people can ride your horse and determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to ride their horse. They will also decide if your horse has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories, (like a $5,000.00 saddle) or a newer and more expensive green Warmblood from Europe. Those that can afford Fancy Hunters will be required to do so...it’s only fair. The government will also decide the name for each horse. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment. Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a horse, they and their families can obtain a horse for free, at the expense of tax payers. Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt. I was going to order a new horse today, but the website was down, I’m sure they will fix it, I will try again tomorrow!!!! * BEWARE: Watch for bait and switch.* Some people have been receiving a Camel with a requisite Muslim which has been said to be part of OLiar's new immigration program

I would love to, but I wouldn't know whether to trust that the person wasn't going to post it on Armslist for $75! GRRR!

They haven’t just asked us to tolerate gays. I do just that. I tolerate those people just like anyone else. I don’t have to accept them, just tolerate them. I am OK with that, if you are gay, that’s OK with me. It’s a sin, but I am a sinner too. I cannot pull a splinter out of your eye, when I have a plank in my eye. The Bible is what it is, it says that being gay is a sin. We are all sinners. The gay people are just going to have to start accepting that. They cannot change what the Bible says, only that, through Jesus Christ, they CAN be forgiven. That’s all Phil was trying to say.

It's debatable how much of the AK's design was really his.  But he certainly got the credit.  The NY Times' obit today is written by CJ Chivers, who wrote a comprehensive history of the rifle a few years ago.

He should be named & shamed. I won't say you should have tailed the guy but I wouldn't have blamed you if you did.

So, are you all ready to have your mind BLOWN?! Back in November of 2007, my platoons first patrol to Marastana we found his helmet, pack, and other stuff. Remember what he wrote in the book about what he took on that mission? Small world eh? I should probably mention we knew it was his because his name was written inside his helmet. Yes, we sent it back to the Navy, whom gave it back to him. Obliviously only the helmet.

I have an iron gut and still prefer to not eat at Cracker Barrel.  Some folks must just like getting the trots.

Why don't you try to show up for another buy with a camera. Shoot some pics and start a thread. Nobody likes publicity.

Obviously pre-planned and organized after a tip off/phone call from a Wally World employee (probably got paid for the tip off also) since they all met at the same time. Takes awhile to set it up to get it all I'd imagine. Dude has himself an ammo business on the side at everyone else's expense.

I clean them by throwing them away and getting a fresh pair... But there is always the range trip where you have to dig a crusty pair out of the bottom of the range bag...   I have been told licking is an appropriate cleaning method.

I've been by a handful of Cracker Barrels today, and they appear as packed as ever.

There is no room left to compromise when it comes to gun laws. 

Sorry; being a musician, that made me spit my coffee. It's "hoss," not "horse." Great sentiment, and thanks for the morning chuckle.  :rofl:

I did not even read responses.   "One and done" is the motto our country should follow.    If elected for any office you will serve one term and never be eligiible to serve another term of any elected office.  how is that?

I think we ought to quit withholding payroll taxes. Make everyone write one check on April 15th and then immediately follow it with Election Day on April 16. Term limits would be a self-correcting problem.

Who cares about his politics. Actors are dancing dogs as far as I'm concerned. Get up on your back legs and hop around for my amusement you socialist twit. The opinions of that dog, however talented, are totally irrelevant.

[quote name="RED333" post="1083415" timestamp="1387860210"]Well yea it is a good deal, they go for a lot more than that. Ya done good, real good. However a light will give you tunnel vision, all you will see is what is in the light.[/quote] Ive used a light several times, and yes they are bad for tunnel vision. Its mostly gonna get used for shooting coyotes in the backyard when they go to harrasing my dogs and livestock. Its brighter than hell, first thing my wife did was point it at me then ask what the pressure switch did and squeeze it lol. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

If you go out there and tell them you are considering joining the club, they will take you around for a tour of the place so you can see everything.  While the initiation fee is a little steep, there aren't really any other options out this way so they can kinda charge what they want.  I'm sure it helps them be more selective in who joins also without outright saying it.  While they have various ranges out there, you don't get immediate access to all areas.  In order to shoot past 100yds, you have to qualify at 200 & 300, then again if you want to move out to the 600.  I can't remember exactly, but I think the cowboy action area is an invite/special member area.  Aside from the occasional stubborn guy that doesn't want to get off the line so it can be called cold, its not a bad range.  Oh and one other thing, if the Loosahachie ever floods, the club shuts down for a while.

Buy some paracord for 5 bucks for 100 feet. Watch some youtube vids and make it yourself.

I have met several people who are members at MSSA who speak very highly of the facility.  After shooting at the local ranges and becoming disenchanted with getting guns pointed at me by Joe Schmoe, I am seriously considering a membership.  The initial start up is a little steep, but the annual dues are not much more than you would spend going to the indoor ranges in this area.  And you have the ability to shoot higher power firearms at this range....and I am itching to shoot an AK :rock:

I have a RRA mid length gas with a rifle length free float YHM forearm. It looks really nice, however it's heavy. Maybe the newer YHM rails are lighter I don't know. But you might consider a forearm with les weight. Maybe a MI Gen 2 or similar. But as to the original question: my rail would definitely completely cover the gas block [URL=http://s680.photobucket.com/user/owensnj/media/17221B22-AEA8-472C-BF67-AEF7732C7FAA_zps00httbtt.jpg.html][/URL]

This has been corrected.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'd say firing any employee that tells anyone when ammo deliveries are coming in would help too, but won't happen.

If you have an Academy Sports near you, the monarch gold .223 is the same thing. It's PPU and very high quality.

I wonder if that tracking device belonged to the Judd's ?

I think we should post names and pictures of the people that buy from these scalpers. They are the REAL problem. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I was thinking of commenting that walmart doesn't care who buys the ammo. But I understand the shortage of has been affecting rifle sales. I'd imagine that advertising a free box of 22 with each rifle would have them flying off shelves

Here's the truck you need, Ferd F-teenthousand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8P5vGcf-NU

Just saw this as well. Another member of the greatest generation lost. 94 is a good run though, and we should all hope to leave behind such a lasting mark on the world. RIP. 

I'm all about deals and I'm even for buying cheap and stacking deep... but these Walmart scalpers are rediculous. I doubt they even shoot. Honestly, there are better ways to make money than ammo hoarding. Seems that this is going to be the future since it has been over a year now and people are still doing it with no end in sight.

Go Dave! Them's some pretty deer. Merry Christmas! :)

It's time for a drive past Cracker Barrel to Bryants for a great breakfast. 

Funny thing is those blank firing movie props are actually registered machine guns. So for him to have them in possession he is in violation of the law unless there is some sort of ruling that exempts him.   I will watch the movie because I guarantee it directly contributes to Marcus and he deserves everything he can get.   I have seen how bad the Korengal area can be. I would try to help every time a medevac chopper came in and that happened almost every day and sometimes several times each day. I was at the closest medical station to the Korengal valley so all casualties made their first stop at our base which was about 5 miles away. Heck, we got attacked pretty regularly but nothing like the outposts in the Korengal, they got hit daily.

  Half the ARs out there come with with biggest port possible within the (debatable) specs and are overgassed to some extent, as the manufacturers want to make sure they run period.   What, though,  is your solution for an oversized port, though, if not heavier buffer/spring, or often best, adjustable gas block? Weld it up smaller? What's the difference, you're making the aperture smaller before the gas tube either way. Buy a new barrel?   When you get one that is so overgassed that it's throwing empties out at 1:00 and overrides the mag to where it doesn't even pick up the next round, and you put an adjustable block on it so that it slings them at 4:00 and runs 100%, I'd call the thing fixed, myself.   - OS

I cook on the fire 3-4 times every month..

Compromise means both sides give "something" to meet in the middle.......and about all I'm ready to give the other side of anything anymore is a slap in the mouth!           Picard: NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! [smashes a display case in anger; Both pause, shocked] I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!

Couldn't we get Charlie to run for President?   On second thought...I doubt he would attempt it. Charlie has too much intelligence and common sense to try.

You can get reduced power hammer springs from Wolff.  Just don't go too low or you will have trouble with military primers.   Also, if you are working on the sear, make sure the angle stays positive.  Make sure you test it often.

Saw your wrapped backstrap and had to try it........heres my attempt. Turned out AMAZING!!!! 10-ring, thanks for the inspiration

[quote name="sigmtnman" post="1082845" timestamp="1387762131"]you ever had aretha frankenstein's pancakes?[/quote] As a matter of fact, yes I have. It was an amazing experience. The whole meal was excellent. There were even guys on the porch drinking beer that hadn't been to sleep yet

I hunted till 1:00 today, jumped three does on the way out with no shot. Ate lunch went back in and didn't see anything else. Rained pretty much 99% of the time, but season is almost over so it was worth it.

Congrats on another deer Dave! You keep this up and you may need more ammo.

I got the bacon...but I need to go get some steaks.   Bet that would be a heck ofa' breakfast with some eggs!!

Thanksgiving morning I got an 148# 8 pt and a doe Friday And a 132# 10 pt on Sat. All shot in bow range with a SR 762.

My take is that term limits are not the answer.  Making your livelihood being a career politician is the problem. Cut all the salaries by 75% or more and let's see what happens. The founders wanted common folk to serve because they wanted to, not to get rich in government.
