I worked out a trade out for a new scope. Its Vortex Viper PST 6-24 x 50mm, and it came with Vortex Precision Machined low rings. I used two picatinny risers so that the objective would clear until I can order higher rings. I love this scope, the glass is super clear and it matches with the Troy MCS perfectly. And next to a S&W m&p 15 to show the size difference. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Say I'm sorry one more time.  :lol:

Can I get a link for PSA.   I tried google but kept getting Prostate-Specific Antigen and related items.

  Kroil is the miracle oil.  Not only is it the best sticky situation unsticker it's made by a Tennessee company.

Send it to me and I'll usea hammer and a video camera to dispose of it properly. ... Tapatalk ate my spelling.

    Paul and Sonny are good people at the Trading Station. I have been doing business with them for over 20 years.   Magiccarpetrides on this forum owns a lot in Sevierville. I have bought a couple from him over the years. Name is Vince at Sevierville Auto Brokers.  I live in the Greater Nashville area and it has always been worth the trip.

:waiting:  you win.  You are indeed as your predecessors have described, and more.  Are you that insufferable in real life? Go ahead, make one more post so you have the last word in.

I'll be honest, I was really pissed off at work today. I kept thinking, I wasted prayers for these two drug dealers!!!! I still feel bad for the relatives because they did lose someone, but I hate gang bangers, I hate drug dealers, and I hate thieves! I cannot be sorry they are gone, who knows how many other people they've robbed, shot at, or even killed? Would they have turned their lives around and become model citizens? Highly doubtful, but even if they did, what did they leave in the wayside of their criminal lives....Hell, they were 19 freaking years old! All I wanted when I was 19 was enough money (from a JOB!) to take out a lil sweet thing on the weekend hopin for a lil country road romance! 

First class... I have always thought that this board has some "good people"....this is a great example of a class act. I told my son who won and he said "oh well"...and then I told him of the gift card...he says "really, why?"....I told him "Son, some have bigger hearts than others"....thank you for the example and the generosity again!

Wow! What a blessing!  She was still yelling when she hung up to tell her mom.  We all appreciate your generosity.  Pm inbound. Cherokee Slim

And if you are can I get a call?

I like him as an actor and liked him in movie   The Negotiator and several others  but I hate that darn "Whats in your Wallet"? commercial he is doing right now!!!!!!!.............jmho

I had to order a rear sight for my Winchester 94-22 XTR, and was looking for some coupons.  I read through some other gun message boards, older posts, all you have to do is call Numrich's phone number for a discount code.  So I tried it today, and it worked.    Just call their 866-686-7424 number, you will get a automatic message of a coupon code.  Then use in the checkout process on the web site.  I got close to $5 off my shipping today.  Shipping was like $2 after the code.   https://www.gunpartscorp.com/

If this goes all the way, I have a new Protech on my radar for a carry knife!

If you could qualify health wise, a cheaper option would be a TERM life insurance policy. I have a 30 year term policy for 250k, and it's twenty something bucks a month.

might as well be me!!!!

I own half of one.

It depends on the purpose of each gun.  The original post assumes that handguns are for self defense and that 1000 rounds is kinda overkill.  Well, it is.  But that ignores that you can be doing survival chores (chopping wood, getting a bucket of water, or just bored and wandering around your area) with a pistol and take game with a 9mm pistol, yea even a deer if you hit it right and certainly smaller animals.   I dunno about you but hauling an AR every second just in case you see an animal is a lot of trouble.  Personally I plan to not have *any* shootouts with other people, I would really like to avoid that as much as possible (same as I do now in a normal world).  Its possible, even likely early on as people get hungry but have not died off yet --- but I would still rather avoid it.   So my ammo is for survival, and defense as necessary, but even my 'handgun' ammo is more of a supplement to hunting than anything else.   If I were only using the pistol for defense, sure, one brick of ammo is plenty.

      It looks like bare metal to me.

Wish it weren't so but I'd rather see 100,000,000 of these in NY and know that the libs are still messing themselves than have none up there and have the fart sniffers sitting around in a cloud of smug satisfaction. And farts.

Ugly, but if it's all you can get, it still works.   I think that applies to more things in life than just this AR.

  More like Zimmerman backed out when he realized he wouldn't be allowed to bring his pistol to a fist fight.

Scar 17 is one of the best guns out there, shoots great, accurate, and loved by those who carry it overseas, unlike its younger sibling. I don't own one but have shot one, and it is just awesome. Not that anyone stateside would get to, but it is very controllable on full auto, plus the change of stocks makes it more operator friendly. It would be my next gun, if I decide to sell some stuff from my safe. 

What an AWESOME Mom you had Tanker! Prayers going out to you and your family!   Dave

i am weak and have no discipline    I ordered one Monday :)   I read that many come in orig tupperware cases and have night sights (which im sure are dimm) but I do have some spare sights and a 3.5# connector in my draw so Ill put this G22 to good use   40 is snappy but really not too bad on larger glocks,I own a G23 and its a breeze to shoot a 40

Dave, thanks for doing this give away. It was very generous of you. I don't care what Shaun says, you are a good man. I am really happy for Rachel. Wish I could have seen that smile when she found out! Thanks again Dave.

 It's a horrible thing to aid a child in developing an addiction Dave! I guess in this case it's a pretty good thing you've done. Congrats to the lucky child.

   Let me know what you come up with for a bullet feeder.

I had very good luck with Paul's Trading Station in Mt. Juliet. If they have what I'm looking for next time around, I would definitely do business with them again. When it came time to negotiate a price, both of us gave in to within $300 of each other. I knew the truck was worth their final offer price, but I was still being stubborn. To prove what kind of deal I was getting, he showed me the receipts for the auction, and the battery, wheel and tire that needed replacing. I was confident enough in his honesty to give in and pay the additional $300. They were as honest as a dealer can be, in my humble opinion.

  The kind in the blue box :)

I'm not sure there is a "right" amount of ammo to keep on hand. It would be up to each individual to make that decision. To me it's kind of like firewood, food, water, or anything else I keep around the house. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   The amount of ammo I keep has nothing to do with plans for firefights or zombie attacks.   That reminds me I better bring in some more firewood.

I tend to doubt common sense had anything to do with it. Somehow this was infurnced by nothing but $$$.

If you would like to bring them by the store sometime, I would be happy to speak with them about the Navy. I retired in 2005 and during my 20 years I was able to serve with SEAL Team 2 and NSWU-2 in Germany as an armorer for the SEALs.

If they are both honors students they need to be looking at College with Military as an Officer after that. IMO http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Steps-for-Admission/

I was scammed once by someone I know.  Call these people up, to meet somewhere.  Be late, or call them 10 min after the time you agreed to, say you are on the way.  Call 10 min later, say stuck in traffic.  Call another 10 min later, pulled over by the police.  Then 15 min later, call back, say you found a better deal.  If 2 or 3 of us will do this to the same gizzard, at different meet up times, I bet they will become a little annoyed in their business model.

Dimensionally loaded 223 and 5.56 is identical. The difference is pressures. SAAMI spec for 223 is 55K psi and 5.56 is more than that. Most estimates is 5.56 runs 65K. Now because of the additional pressures of 5.56 the chamber is slightly different than a 223 chamber. The chief difference is the throat in a 5.56 is slightly longer than 223. This allows the bullet to begin moving, and reduce pressures, before hitting the resistance of the rifling. Because of the longer throat of the 5.56 chamber it is safe to shoot 223 in a 5.56 chamber. Some say that you cannot shoot 5.56 in a 223 chamber. But I have shot a lot of 5.56 out of guns with a verified 223 chamber. Shooting 5.56 in a 223 will not cause some sort of dramatic failure. If it does then your gun had issues in the first place. Proof loads are well beyond the pressures encountered when shooting max 5.56 loads in a 223 chamber. Then there is the estimate that 25% of the "5.56" actually have 223 chambers. As manufacturers chamber barrels the reamers dull and most resharpen the reamer. This reduces the size of the reamer each time. There was a random test done by a publication and well over 25% had 223 chambers so if shooting 5.56 in a 223 chamber caused the gun to blow up we would be seeing it everyday.

Cool as a novelty, not a practicality.

  Nope.  The two are totally unrelated.  The UN is correct on the molestation.   The UN overstepped on abortion --- their rant is effectively telling a religious entity what to think/say.  

Phases plague those of us who can't afford all options Sure it's a phase, as most gun urges. I usually research it to death and then try to put it aside for a bit and let it simmer. Then if it lingers I'll swap or buy. Guns is a unique hobby where the items retain all or most of their value for a long time. Sent from my iPad using Voodoo magic

  That's a load of crap.

Pretty ammo does not shoot any better or worse than ugly ammo.    That's all I have to say about that.

just use a powder made for it 4064 blc2 4895 2460 varget rl15 any of those will work fine

I don't know about the FNAR, but I loaded IMR4895 in match loads for an M1A back in ancient times when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. :)   At that time IMR4895 and IMR4064 seemed to be the 2 most often used powders in M1A match loads for civilian shooters.   Going from memory (please, please, please double check with a current reloading manual), the charges for IMR4895 were in the 41-43 grain range (depending on the rifle, brass manufacturer), OAL 2.800".
