We have a great Animal Control in our community, with paid employees and volunteers who are compassionate and facilitate the adoption of neglected and abused animals. I love those people and my wife and I go out if our way with donations and foster assistance to help them make mission. Teachers? I love me some teachers. Doesn't pay much, but they do it anyway. There are some real heroes out there who spend a career in teaching making squat. Nurses, janitors, coal miners. Lotta jobs out there with folks that don't make much but deserve our respect. Sure, they do it to make a living, but those are jobs that service each of us and a job most of us aren't willing to do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For what it's worth... I think the author of the article (...along with those "others" he refers to...) hints at the problem but either hasn't recognized it; or doesn't understand it...   Up until the dawn of the CNC age (...the time of the Colts, essex put togethers, and the old military pistols...); folks wanted their carry 1911 to be a reliable shooter for defensive purposes; there were few problems with the 1911; providing they had a good magazine, good ammo, and someone who know how to shoot...   Some said the 1911 wasn't sufficiently reliable; but there are lots of reasons not to believe that...Accuracy wasn't "bullseye grade"; it was "combat grade"... Folks built 1911's looser then... That made them reliable... I've handled and owned a bunch of lowly Colts and military rebuilds (...now out of favor with the current 1911 "in-crowd"...) that never failed to go off when they had a proper mag, good ammunition, and a thoroughly trained shooter handling them...   The reason that "new" 1911's need all this TLC is that they are too closely machined and fitted... They are, in effect, a modern match grade bullseye gun that the manufacturers are marketing as "defensive guns"... That's why they are 'finicky" and need fixin.... Glocks aint "finicky" out of the box; they are combat guns....   leroy, lover of the lowly colt 1911 and that greatest of all colts, the SAA

I know there are "bad" cops out there who bring a lot of criticism to the law enforcement profession, and it's a shame. There are a lot of good cops out there who make life a lot more civilized than it would be otherwise and we would be in a mess were it not for them. Someone posted this on Facebook today and I thought I would pass it on. It really made me think.

I have never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but it was funny and what is also funny is learning where most guys thoughts are most of the time............................ :rock:  :rock: 

Recovery?? What recovery. There's no problem here. Just move along and take your blasphemy with you.   Heck. I just bought another pistol and had 2 old ones re-blued.   It's all good here.

Not a thing wrong with being thankful for cops. Most of them put more thought into their career decision than the average 18 yr old who joins the military. Yet, we don't have a problem thanking the military for their service. So, why not thank cops and other civil servants who take life threatening jobs?

Sure, come to the whorehouse waiting room and ask for help about your sex addiction...

The smaller one is basically a bush knife. Total length is about 8 inches and the blade is about 4 inches. It features file work and jimping on the spine and a stone washed finish on the blade. It really came out good. The scales are black canvas micarta and cocobolo wood backed up with a white liner to contrast the stone washed finish and has two stainless steel pins. The blade itself is made from 3/16" thick 1084 carbon steel and was professionally heat treated to a 59-60RC. The larger one would be considered a tactical knife I suppose. Total length is about 11 1/2 inches with the blade being about 6 1/2. It has a bit of larger jimping on the thumb rise near the handle and a lanyard hole and glass breaker at the rear. It also has an extra finger grove on the steel just rear of the ricasso which adds more control for close in work. It's made from 3/16" thick 1095 carbon steel and has green canvas micarta scales with bright orange liners and stainless steel pins. It was professionally heat treated to a 59RC. I've very happy with the way these turned out overall. I learned a lot with these blades and am confident they are built well, heat treated to the steels capabilities and will last as long as any knife out there.

Didn't this AK74 Pistol topic pop up a couple of years ago and there was a run on 5.45X39 at that time also.   I swear this sounds like something that came up during the first Barry Hussein panic.        Or did I just buy all of those 1080 round cans just for the Hell-of-It in order to buy cheap and stack deep.  :shrug:

With all due respect, the article is simply one man's opinion. I've yet to handle, let alone own an unreliable 1911. Further, I fail to understand why a 1911 is so much more difficult to master than any other handgun.

Folks, look who started this on Facebook.   JAMES YEAGER!!!!!!!!  :yuck:     That attention whore is just doing what he does best = :stir:

I agree with both posts 8 and 10. I respect everyone who gets up, works hard, and earns their paycheck...regardless of what they do.   We should celebrate that.

Then don't do it. I will say though that the last deer I gutted was with a useless Frost knife. I kept it in my backpack as a backup. Good thing because I didn't have my good knife on my belt that day (Yeah, Murphy plays games with me :) ). It did a fine job, sharpened up nice and still rides as a backup in my backpack. The buck it cleaned didn't complain at all. I have no regrets for spending that $10. YMMV I will also say that I am not endorsing their quality. I know they are cheap, and you get what you pay for. I merely stated that the passage of this law makes me want to stop there (I pass their retail store everyday) and buy a big (over 4") cheap knife to keep in my truck (probably the toolbox).

  Hmmmmm...., An Indoor Classifier - - - Never done one of those.   But that would nullify my standard "The Cross-Wind got me" excuse I have used for those 20 yard shots on Stage 3!  :ugh:  

RE:... TMF's post above (...#29...)... Right here strikes an interestin chord with me from the "long ago": Back in the seventies there wuz an interestin little gunshop near midland center in Maryville that had a pretty good selection of hunting and shooting stuff... I used to drop by from time to time and it wuz interestin to walk in and talk a bit...During those days; i wuz spendin lots of time lookin for good shotguns and "N" frame smiths...   When ya walked in; everything stopped ALA the old time "stranger in town" thing from the westerns and all eyes were on you...   As TMF described; the "vibes" were very interestin there too... I aint too much of a "vibe" person; but this place gave off some interestin ones--even noticeable to me... I always got the impression that it wuz kinda like the galactic empire vs the ragtag rebels thing; and you could figure out pretty quick that they saw themselves as the "rebel" element...   These guys were friendly but they would never opine on anything... They replied when spoken to; but passed out no opinions...Whenever i visited with these guys; i always felt like that i had been "mentally and spiritually" interrogated and every word spoken and action made while in the place wuz analyzed and duly catalogued... It wuz all unspoken, but really real (...to me at least...)...   This place is long gone now; but i always thought it wuz interestin... Several of my childhood buddies did lots of business with them... I never asked about the "vibes" but i kinda knew they were sympathetic to them...   There is a fine line between patriotic organizations and "others"... I can see the militia thing as being manned by concerned folks who are, in fact, patriotic... I can also see that it can easily be inhabited by anarchists and nuts... It's the anarchist and nuts ya have to worry about...   leroy, lookin back

It used to be legal, but that was back before Americans started using the force of government to chain their "morality" around the necks of their fellow Americans.

That's just sad. Great truck.   A Judge told me one time " You never really know a Women, until you meet her in court ".

Stopped at SMKW last week. I checked out their ESEE collection. All the ESEEs were on sale so basically the were priced like the Interweb prices. Best of all immediate gratification. This is one hell of a knife. Well balanced and great feel. I like the liners, I think I'm going to dye the scales black.

I really like these Marlin 39A since I got my first Mountie. I haven't found anymore carbine length 39M, but I did round up a couple of nice As. One from a neighbors estate sale and the other from a Feller in east TN on another Forum. If they are 90% or better and under $400 I'm buying. This one came with a Weaver 4X. Squirrel sniper rifle. This one came with a nice brass Simmons, and FO front sight. JM extender and a cool leather sling. The first a Mountie leading me down Highway 39.

   Like I originally stated, I would not hesitate in the least to reload the brass. I have some of the exact same brass and I fully intend to reload them when I run out of factory ammo for the .308. If you start out towards the minimum listed charge you will be okay. As far as your .308 die set goes, even if the 7.62 brass had slightly different dimensions, they would have the .308 outside dimensions once you run them through your .308 dies. Same goes with .223 because I have never seen a set of "5.56" dies and I have run thousands upon thousands of pieces of 5.56 brass through my .223 dies and never once had an issue. My favorite load isn't close to the max load so I load each case the same whether it is .223 or 5.56 and can't tell any difference from one round to the next. BUT you being new to reloading you should start at the published minimum and work your way up.

I'm no officer or military vet. I've never yet needed to use my gun to save my life or someone else's. At this point, I am simply an enthusiast/hobbyist who enjoys shooting and also appreciates the potential equalizing power of a firearm in a bad situation. My following opinion is based solely on things I've seen at many gun ranges and the two IDPA matches I've shot. Very often I see plastic pistol owners complain about mushy/hard triggers, poor accuracy (most of the time I believe it to be the shooter, rarely the gun) but much more rarely do I see folks with genuine function problems from their plastic fantastics. At both IDPA matches I shot, however, someone with a 1911 simply could not get the gun to run. 1911s were vastly outnumbered by M&Ps, Glocks, XDs, and CZs. In two matches, I only saw one person have a problem with something OTHER than a 1911, and that was a new load they hadn't tested before cranking out. Swapped back to her old load and she was back on pace, beating the ever-lovin' dog crap out of the rest of us! There is nothing like the glass-break trigger of a nice 1911 or the way it makes you feel to hold and shoot a nice one. Unfortunately I feel there is so much variance in manufacturing and tuning of this established design that to simply say "1911s are the best" or "1911s suck more dirt than a Dyson" is quite foolish. When we factor in things like modern materials, increased capacity of newer designs, and newer high pressure calibers I also feel it's akin to sticking one's head in the sand to deny the advantages the modern platforms offer the user in a defensive role.

  Not exactly sure what you mean by "from the rent-a-cops," but I used to be an officer with the Metro Nashville Police Dept (I left in 2000 to go work for a smaller agency). Since you quoted me, tell us about your vast knowledge.

The fact still stands that many of us respect them for that choice and want to show that appreciation from time to time. That's our choice, just like belittling their contributions is other peoples' choices.

Another thing to keep in mind is not only is the ocean deep it covers a huge area.... While rare we still lose track of entire ships out there. No not the sunk ones floating ones!

He scores...he shoots!!!! So exactly where did you get 2000+ rounds for under $100? :up:

Do you use stripper clips?

I cant wait till we invent teleporters. 

  You're right, it has been.  But it's kinda the chicken and the egg thing.  Did the media just decide one day they were going to represent militias as extremist separatists or supremists or did enough militia groups perpetuate that stigma on their own by being full of separatists and supremists?   Other than the State Guard, the closest thing I've seen to a rational organization that closely resembles a militia would be the Oath Keepers with their initiative to set up regional detachments and support cells.  I could get on board with that, but I just worry about becoming involved in a group full of people who say one thing but really mean another... with a wink wink nod nod.  I grew up around such people and they're still close with the family.  They would share many of the same opinions on the government being too large, taxes being too much and the potential for an economic disaster resulting in a period of chaos and lawlessness.  But then they start talking about how gays, blacks and Jews are responsible for all the world's problems.  For some reason, militias seem to attract those types, and that's not the type of people I want to be around if the S actually HTF.

Best definition of ObamaCare                 Nancy Pelosi said:                 “We have to pass it, to find out what’s in it.”                 A Doctor called-in to a radio show and said:                 "that's the definition of a stool sample".

Meh, more than minimum wage, but I'm not rich.  ;)

Yes. Because with more than 200 people missing, thousands more in misery and millions being spent on the search, not one person would stand up (or track down the number of a journalist) and say "yes, we have the data but we can't release it because... Contract".

I was scared to click on this thread.

With tales of divorce like Marks and others I have heard/read about, it always amazes that more men don't kill their ex-wives. I haven't married yet because I never met a woman I truly trusted and single.

Why everyone should always carry a knife.

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1130925" timestamp="1395974454"] Y'all don't believe we went to the moon either, right? - OS[/quote] The moon doesn't actually exist, so the moon landing was fake by default. Prove me wrong. You aren't allowed to use logic, science or reference historical precedence either, as I'm ignorant of all that stuff so I'll just ignore that and lump that information into the same category as the vast conspiracy I believe in. Now, considering the above parameters, how would you go about proving me wrong? Exactly. So I win. Where's my prize? It's a conspiracy perpetrated by the military industrial complex (Boeing) to secure contracts through NASA for moon exploration. They controlled JFK's mind, as JFK was the original Manchurian Candidate, with his WWII exploits being completely set up by the military industrial complex as they saw the lucrative opportunity of having a President who would commission initiatives like space exploration, thus making them all filthy rich. I could go into more detail, but I don't have enough time to explain how this all ties into the involvement of the alien Lizard People, but most of you probably already know about Lizard People and the threat they pose our species...

When I was at Knox it was all soup. Came off pretty easy. The crap in Germany had some kind of two part epoxy mixed in with the mud. The mud laughed at me using a water cannon.
