Put a bayonet on a long Mosin Nagant and you can poke them from the end of the hallway!  Get an M44 Mosin carbine and the fight will be over if you fire one round.  After that intruders will be deaf and blind and you can use the bayonet! As an FYI, the Russian spike bayonet will very easily go through most interior doors and walls!   Personally, I use a Brown Bess Musket with bayonet for home defense.  If the .75 ball with four buckshot doesn't get them, then the huge muzzle blast and flash from 90 grains of black powder will stun them.  Lastly, if they are not out of the fight yet, then seeing my overweight, naked body come screaming down the hall out of the smoke cloud six feet behind a long, shiny bayonet had better do the trick! :eek:

  I want me one of them New York triggers so I can shoot everybody but the bad guy, just like the professionals do. :)

Well, I finally did it. Something I should have done years ago. I got my tgo lifetime benefactor subscription! I was going to just renew like I always do, but it just didn't make sense. I lurk on quite a few gun/survival/diy forums, and I just got to say, tgo is the most polite and professional forum I have run across. A lot of credit is due to David and the moderators, more credit than they receive sometimes. Credit also goes to the members who make tgo what it is. Thanks to all. Btw, with benefactor membership, I get a key to the nice bathrooms, don't I? Epp

That is why I do avoid businesses posted because if I do go in one I do still carry many times except Federal building. Reason being I do not want to be faced with the same issue the young lady in Texas was. Had she had her gun with her instead of in her car the outcome may have been much different and her parents may have survived. I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6 for being stupid..............jmho

I'm not even there and I'm terrified already...

an SKS or an AK is the way to go.  A bolt rifle is ridiculous,  especially a Mosin Nagant.   I'd get an AK variant.  a SKS is way to long,  an AK is a manageable length.  If I think bad guys are trying to get in my door they will meet a WASR.   Joe Biden says all you need is a double barrel shotty.   YMMV

That's cool imagine having nothing but these to choose from if ya don't want grey: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

First, this is a video version of a scenario that has gone around for decades: Pick someone in your family to die or you all die, and the choice can't be you.   Second: I call BS. Everyone knows that gingers are the ones that would go. :)

No disrespect intended, but I just don't consider that funny.  I'd say it's more an age/generational thing.   I find things that some of the younger than myself guys consider comic to be anything but that. Just an observation from an old guy. 

Id suggest trying the Blackhawk recoil reducing stock. After that maybe step down to 20 ga if necessary.

I'd be willing to bet that driving to Guns&Leather in greenbrier would be more than worth the time and gas over FGS. No affiliation with either.

Start drilling. :)

Now we need our Governor and elected officials to follow suit.

I'm lookin forward to the thread update in about 9 months.

:panic: Gosh I need to get out more. I have never heard of any of these places. To me fancy is O' Charlies or Logans........... :doh:

Hah. Was loading shells and the darn spring got bound...shells rattling around loose in the mag and all. Didn't want a single shot pump for the day, so not leaving well enough alone I had one for a couple weeks. Sucks being ADD......look, a chicken.

I think suggesting that someone just get a different job is really rather ridiculous. We have more people out of work in this country today than any other time in the country's history - anyone who currently has a job had damn well better keep it. There is nothing wrong with looking around and keeping options open but there is more to a career and finding the right position than whether a company allows firearms on their property.

I got this blade from a friend and decided to give it a upgrade. The stacked leather handle was replaced with a big shed antler I had traded for. I still have some fit and finish to do, but here it is... Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

I'm a cheap SOB and I like Glocks, so I've come up with my own solution.

I had a Plinkster 802 bolt lugs fall out. Did have to pay shipping to them, but they eventually replaced it with whole new rifle, all they could do since they can't work on the Brazilian stuff, just took awhile for them to get another one.   Sort of made up for the shipping when I ordered some extra mags for it, I couldn't get them to stop shipping them. Only paid for 4 but eventually got 16 or so of them! Called and asked if they wanted them back, they said just keep 'em. So sold extras.   And yes, Eagle Pass is in Texas, but just barely. :)   - OS

Always good to hear a good customer service story.   Now, why were you taking your gun apart in the woods....in the dark?

  For military and police purposes I agree that #3B is less than ideal. But at inside-the-home distances I say that #3B is more than adequate. And if you live in an area with close neighbors I'd suggest that #3B be the maximum size you use.

More hypocritical non-sense from legislator’s. If the state doesn’t recognize carry as a right; they can’t force it down the throat of business. (They can, but it shouldn’t hold up in court)

True we have a bunch of critters down here, but they're not big ones.    Apart from maybe a really big black bear, or some of our newly reintroduced elk, any round that is good enough to use for self defense is more than adequate for anything that lives in Tennessee.

I've never seen anything at FGS that I would call "fairly priced". Personally, I'd drive over to the gun show in M'boro this weekend with a knowledgeable friend and see what I could find.

    This.  Or just pick a light load.  Given that home defense use will likely be at very close range, those 3.5" magnum shells aren't really necessary.  Also consider that in the very unfortunate event she actually has to use it in self defense, recoil won't exist. 

  My concern, traveling with all those items to the range, for instance, isn't with the legality of his set up but the ignorance of the law by police officers.  OS is completely legal, but if he gets pulled over for a minor infraction which turns into a search, the officer conducting the search may believe he is in violation of the law.  Heck, I had a Sheriff's Deputy in Florida come out to the family range for a shoot day several years back, and asked ME if my AR was legal to own.  He was under the impression that I had to have it registered (with whom?).  So it isn't far fetched to assume OS's setup could get someone in temporary hot water.  At a minimum, I'd have several letters from the ATF printed off and colocated with my items to ensure the popo had the tools of knowledge if it came to that.

This whole anonymous tip crap is abused too much.  If you call in a crime or suspicion of a crime you need to give your name and address. Also how would you be able to face your accuser in court if the police just act on a tip from an unknown source.

If you look closely at your second pic, there is a dot or ding pretty much smack in the center above the bipod. I'd mount it there. ;)

  You don't have to dream, the recruiter is only one phone call away ;)

I think it would behoove us all to be "multi-dextrous", ya never know when you might need it:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlMz2sCDCA4   - OS

I carry as often as I can. Concealed means no one should know where or when I have a firearm on my person!

I really don't see what the big deal is? :shrug:   Nothing a little Krylon can't fix.

Closing this one down.

  As the father of 3 little girls, I couldn't agree more. If kids get themselves into situations by themselves its bad enough, but to have an adult looking to facilitate the situation, well that I have a real problem with.    They maybe 18, but they are still high school kids.  Just b/c something is legal, doesn't mean its appropriate. 

from myself and most anyone who is a father I find this thread in very poor taste.   If I was the girls father and saw this thread I'd be looking to have a talk with you.

Anytime I leave the house, except where prohibited by law.   If I thought I was going to need a gun... I'd stay home.  

I carry all the time or have one at least within arms reach at all times.

Always choose  a memorable password!           A lady helps  her husband install a new computer. Once it is completed,  she tells him to select a password, selecting a word that  he'll always remember. As the computer asks him to enter  it, he looks at his wife and with a macho gesture and a  wink in his eye, he selects a word: mypenis As he hits  "enter", to validate the selection, his wife collapses  with laughter and rolls on the floor in  hysteria!!    The computer  had replied:  TOO SHORT- ACCESS  DENIED!

  Hell, that should have been the headline. ;)   - OS

I am hopeful since i think this is what he's after.

  Yoga pants are potentially the most amazing invention ever, so it's forgivable that they have one shortcoming like this.

I love mine. $14 on Amazon.

I'd think bacon bits would be a superior load for muslim bees.

About as loud as firing just the primer. Generally not loud enough to draw attention although running around shooting a firearm in what appears to be random directions probably will. Dolomite

This thread cracks me up. What would the nieghbors think if I sat out on the back deck one evening shooting at bees...with a big ass gun? I need to go load up some insect rounds.
