And of course we have Audie Murphy, America's most-decorated soldier, who became a Hollywood star as a result of his US Army service that included his being awarded the Medal of Honor. Would someone please remind me again how many of today's Hollywood elite put their careers on hold to enlist in Iraq or Afghanistan? The only one who even comes close was Pat Tillman, who turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the US Army after September, 11, 2001 and serve as a Ranger in Afghanistan, where he died in 2004. But rather than being lauded for his choice and his decision to put his country before his career, he was mocked and derided by many of his peers and the Left. Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that this is not the America today that it was many years ago. And I, for one, am saddened."

Negative. I learned young to sh##can "friends" that were destructive and didnt care to cover their destructiveness. We all make mistakes, but we're expected to own up to those mistakes. A friend that can't do that is the exact opposite of a friend.

That’s not “Not paying attention”. That’s DUI and leaving the scene. Whoever did that needs to be in jail. And they certainly aren’t a friend.

Time to find new friends 

What was wasteful and absolutely STUPID was the engines and transmissions being destroyed.  THey wanted them off the road permanently but they destroyed millions of dollars worth of parts that working class people could have used to survive.  Go find a good used engine nowadays.  Not as easy as it once was.  Certainly not as cheap.  They wanted these vehicles permanently disabled but ALL THEY HAD TO DO was put the VIN number in the DMV computer database as NOT REGISTRABLE.  Destroying a perfectly fine running engine only shows what a bunch of retarded morons our governing elect really are.  

They were probably getting ready to put the $70 stickers on them for the gun show this weekend.

Stealing is never funny. The Outpost has been a sponsor of this site as long as they've been open. Both corporately and as a family, they do a ton to support the shooting community. They've got a lot of nice stuff in there, and while they may not beat Bud's and the other big internet players all day everyday, I'd be willing to bet Chris won't willingly lose too many sales to them. And, they do it while paying the overhead it takes to let everyone put their grubby hands on stuff they're going to turn around and buy online. You don't have to shop there, but don't disparage them - especially as they put a pallet of .22lr out at mostly normal prices. You just can't make some folks happy.

Well, how else are they supposed to get a foothold over here and establish their little soldier cells. They're really good what they do but they ain't never fought in the woods with a bunch of rednecks, un-encumbered by rules of engagement.

I have been fishing this winter and doing pretty well. I am planning on going tomorrow and freezing my ass off but I hope to catch some crappie. Got out two weeks ago and had 15 keepers with another 15 non keepers. Bersa, We fried some of those Crappie the day we caught them, Tough to beat that!

hard to beat a glock.  they just work, right out of the box.  load and go.  hard to find any other brand that will do that.  

That about covers it. Honk the ATF :)

Glocks aren't for everybody. But if it works for you, this won't be your last. I can guarantee that.

"I'm Lamar Alexander and I lied through my teeth during this message."

I would love to do a float and fishing trip. Maybe we could try and get together for one.   Dave

One of the biggest concerns I have about micro stamping is this. I go to the range and shoot my gun that micro stamps the brass. Then, no matter how hard I try, I cannot find all my brass. So some unscrupulous person manages to hit the range and pick up the brass I missed. Then the criminal decides to throw it down as he commits a crime. This will throw LE off of him and put me squarely in LE sights. Now I understand it should be easy to clear but not before they confiscate my gun and spend countless hours questioning me. And in the off chance I was sitting at home alone without an alibi I could find myself being charged with a crime I didn't commit. And even if there are eyewitnesses the micro stamped brass belonging to another will be enough to raise reasonable doubt at trial.

If I need the specific performance of a 22lr I can cast for 223 and a nice little dose of green dot puts me between .22lr and .22 mag. The primer is 90% of the cost per round.

I suspected as much -- thanks for well documented and irrefutable proof.   -  OS

I think my response would be something like, "I was considering buying that $2,000 _______, but since this is an example of how you treat customers, I think I'll go buy it at _____."

Aero Precision posted this on their FB page. Gotta love it

This family had no idea the impact that they would have (and the urgency or the moment), but they listened to the prompting of our Creator -   http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/north-knoxville/2014/01/24/couple-thrilled-knoxville-waitress-blessed-1075-tip/4827745/   and remain anonymous.   perfectly executed.

But in the end when the state begins taking people to jail the vast majority will line up to turn their magazines in.   The politicians have become too comfortable in what they are doing. They know they can violate law and not be held accountable. They can make all the laws they want because they do not apply to them.   What needs to happen is something to make all the politicians a little more nervous about doing something that is against the public opinion.

Good looking ESEEs guys. They have some new ones coming out! Camp Lore Line, Scandi Grinds. I can't keep up. I'm going to see what some of the new stainless forms are going to look like.

Just posted on FB Maybe upper, lowers, barrels etc??? :-)

Congratulations, my friend. Should you have the funds. My vote is for an Accuracy International chassis. My Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD .308 in a AICS 1.5 chassis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or that they may drop your tire pressure to zero as you are heading down the highway.

In the beginning of this thread I thought we might actually have a fairly serious discussion about something scientifically interesting.   I guess I was premature in thinking that. :doh:

    I presume that's an attack of autocorrect, but it's a darn funny one.  :rofl:   Sorry.  :wave:

You can cast and load 300 Blackout and pretty much any common pistol caliber for less than 22. My 300 rounds cost me 4.4 cents a shot. My 9mm is 4.2 cents a shot and 45 runs under a nickel a shot. I have plenty of 22 guns but I don't shoot them because I can shoot center fire for less. For the cost of three bricks you can start reloading.

  Rats, how could you deny us such an ongoing source of valuable public service information? You must have been a DHS mole all this time!   - OS

)h, and one more thing. I generally do add steps or notches around the baffles. It creates turbulence and at least on my 22 can made a difference.

Besides the non-existence of microstamping technology right now, it is also gun registration, which simply won't pass muster in most states.   AND one more thing that nobody seems to have addressed: how would you handle replacement firing pins? Would require that the company keep some sort of individual duplicate die or whatever for every gun they sold, cross referenced by serial number. Firing pins would wind up costing more than the rest of the gun.   - OS

My favorite part of the commerials is when they show him "standing up to obama" during that sit down in 2009....seriously - the best thing you have tell the people is something you said 5 years ago...GTFO

LOL, I started watching a documentary the other day on bronies. Some people are really weird,

  They know there's enough dolts out there who will believe anything they say without question. That's why Penn and Teller got a fake enviormentalist to get people to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide(water), without being questioned of what it is. The name sounds scary and they said it's found in pestisides, nuclear power plants etc. and now it's in our rivers and lakes and been found in school lunches. Most everyone she talked to signed the petition because they are naive and just too lazy to even ask much less research something they were told by a total stranger. Now some popular liberal politician could tell their sheep the moon is really made of green cheese and they will believe them.

[quote name="scoutfsu" post="1099048" timestamp="1390362246"]Every site has its caveats, limitations, and biases...TGO is the same way. [/quote] But TGO is the best. All other's suck.

As Hozzie said, use the AR. Take the tactical light off before you hunt with it (they are not legal to have on your weapon while hunting). You don't want to get accused of "spot lighting".   Dave

    Good, now you have a goal to work toward.  ;)     It's a Russian battle rifle not known for it's accuracy with a safety mechanism that lots of people don't even know exists.  Most of those who do know, don't use it.  Somehow a glassy smooth 2lb trigger seems incongruous to me.  The trigger in mine isn't that bad.  It's a little heavy, but not objectionable.  YMMV.   

Shows in Lebanon suck. That is all.

These damn ESEE's multiply like rabbits. Got this one on the way. Plain edge 6 with a Godspeed Tactical taco sheath in coyote.
