A lot of the Tennessee whiskey I've seen has no label. :shrug:

Just tell them you're afraid of three headed monkeys. If they have any follow up questions just point over their shoulder and yell " there's one now!" They'll probably look because based on the fact that they asked you that question, they're probably stupid. While their looking for Bingo the three headed monkey you should be able to egress. If you really want to screw with them tell them its doctors orders and walk away while they try to figure that one out.

  what is the point of taking it apart and cleaning it?  Don't see myself ever doing that, a second time.

Thanks Luke for all the tips....and for trying it first :rofl: I was more worried that once I got started, I would go with the wrong color for base coat, not like the design half way through, or have an image in my head and hate it on the rifle. So! I just started painting with no idea whatsoever in my head and went with it. I used Rustoleum flat camo in the following colors: Sand, Army green, and Dark Earth. Sprayed the crap out of it with brake cleaner and let dry. Tape over the trigger and serial number (Not sure why, but I did). First light coat of OD green After 2nd coat of OD green And here is the part where y'all get to cuss me for skipping pictures. (I know, I hate it too) But I got into it, and moved back and forth so many times, I would have had 100 pictures and probably forgot what I was trying to do in my head. So, I apologize in advance. :ugh: All that said, I am extremely happy. The finish is NOT shiny, which I did not want. The dull, flat look is great! Since I didn't take pictures of the leaf procedure (you can see them laying in the box), I will try to explain a little. Probably not much different than anyone else does though. I started with the two base coats of green. Then laid several of the little branches pretty much covering most of the rifle on one side. I sprayed several lines of the brown in different directions depending on how the leaves laid. I need to add that light leaves CAN be moved by the spray! GRRR So I had to adjust once I figured that out. I let that dry, flipped the rifle and repeated as close as I could remember on the opposite side. Then I grabbed the sand and laid about half the amount of leaves I used for brown on the rifle and sprayed 5 or 6 lines mostly vertical and a few on top and bottom of the rifle. I wasn't keen on keeping that much sand color although I love it, just thinking about my area colors. I wanted more green and brown. So I made one more trip around the whole rifle with brown (to break up some of the larger areas of sand color) and then green (A blending type action of all of the designs) again. I decided at the point above that I would stop where I was. Let me know what you think, and if you're pondering it, give it a shot!!

I'm not afraid of much, and don't have to carry a gun. I like guns, and therefore,. I am likely to have one with me.   None of your business is another valid answer.   I don't usually tell people I carry, so the conversation rarely comes up.

I say: "you ever seen the news motherf##}$r?"

He has to say something which in most cases his mouth is moving but same old bull crap flows from it over and over. He is running out of any new stuff and the guys that do the writing on his teleprompters are running out of things to program them with. His dream of getting the guns from all of the Americans are just that. Dreams!!! The American people are not the Australians and we have not plans of doing such a stupid thing as they did. We were able to keep the Imperial Japanese Army off our shores in 1941 because they fear all of the Americans with guns back them. Today there are 1000 times that many more American gun owners than there was in 1941. He can push that pen all he wants but he cannot bypass the Constitution of the United States with it and he cannot over ride the decisions of the United States Supreme Court with it so just what can he really do but run his mouth is my question? If I am not mistaken his ratings are still in the fruit cellar.............jmho  

Data shows that though they rose from the 60's, mass shootings are indeed significantly less common currently than in 80s or 90s.   What has changed is the extent of instant universal news coverage, and of course that powerhouse news organizations have gone far beyond reporting to political activism.   But seems little doubt that as Garufa opines, the society has been conducive to spawning more individual crazies ... read Desmond Morris' The Human Zoo (sequel to The Naked Ape), wherein he equates modern society with a zoo, and consequently the neurotic/psychotic behaviors of both animals and humans living in completely unnatural circumstances. And he saw that back in 1969, and we've come "far" since then.   - OS

[quote name="rugerla1" post="1157820" timestamp="1402533458"]It amazes me how many kids have supposedly been so hard core to walk in to a school, blow chunks out of people without crying at the sight if it or getting sick, and then have the same balls to put the barrel to their head and pull the trigger. I don't buy it, I hate saying I think they may have been forced, or shot while someone else pulled the trigger with more discipline, but good Lord, really????[/quote] Sociopaths don't wake up one day at the age of 18 and decide to be sociopaths.

Well, I'm on my way to get it. He just texted me and said he would take $350 for it! :D

[quote name="10-Ring" post="1157731" timestamp="1402523676"]Hence my previous answer. I'm tired of trying to explain things to stupid people who will never get it anyway.[/quote] I'd like to educate if I can. It's just hard to empathize with irrational people and explain things in a way that makes sense to them. When my wife and I were getting married her family came down to Tennessee (she's a Yankee). There were several firearms in the apartment and my wife had to move some because there were kids coming over. Her aunt saw the firearms and literally cried. I don't know how to explain things to people like that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the quote from Clint Smith. "If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for."

No one ever asks me this.  They know people hate lawyers.  Especially their husband or wife's divorce attorney.         It's just to bad I've been doing this just long enough that I've forgotten how to do any honest work.... 

I'd like to say: "I'm a free citizen. Fear is immaterial to my right to carry a weapon."   That being said, "free citizen" is an inaccurate exaggeration. When I have to pay almost $200 for a carry permit and class combined, then take the time to get fingerprinted, and wait for the government to process my request for more freedom....   Still need to find the time and money so I can buy a little more freedom....

Wow,   "One suspect dead and another in critical condition, after parents spot armed men outside with their daughter and grab their guns."   http://tinyurl.com/parentslove911   Now those are parents that take keeping their kid safe to the max!

Well, I've never been asked that before. I assume that it's because I'm 6'4", 275 lbs, and have a look about me that I don't entertain fools lightly. But if I was asked this question I would answer with something along the lines of, "I have a hammer just in case that I need to hammer a nail...does that make me afraid of a nail?"

All....   I simply don't like the news coverage in the Knoxville area; so I regularly read the Chattanooga news via WDVF... They tend to simply report what happened in the state news section; which i like... I found this this mornin....   http://www.wdef.com/content/news/crime/story/Handgun-Carry-Permits-Double-in-2013/dvLLw2TIAEul1nz7IwB1AQ.cspx   The link says it all... Tennessee Handgun permits doubled in 2013...    A very interesting and informative factoid...   The "anti gun" rhetoric ain't workin....   Enjoy, leroy

[quote name="BigK" post="1157541" timestamp="1402490348"]I noticed that too. Both parents are 34, the daughter is 17, and there was a 5 yr old son in the home as well. They apparently got knocked up at about 16 or 17 yrs of age, depending on when bdays fall. The fact that they are still together is welcome and worthy news all by itself. Add the fact that they are gun owners and took such decisive action and you have an even better story.Apparently, at least one article said the police are treating this as a murder investigation. I hope not, based on what news we have now, but who knows what else is going on. The suspect that survived caught one in the chest and one in each thigh.[/quote] It should be treated as a murder investigation. The surviving oxygen thief should be charged with 1st degree murder, since a person was killed as a direct result of his felonious actions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="reed1285" post="1157534" timestamp="1402489619"]34 seems a little young to have a daughter old enough to have a vehicle. Anyways, good for them. +1 for the good guys.[/quote] Yeah, was thinking the same thing. I couldn't tell if that was the case or just confusion as this article was written by a 3rd grader.

    Kids + Darkness + Flashlights  = hours of fun   Mine turn all the lights off in the house, grab their flashlights, and run around squealing with joy. 

Is suggest a Ruger 22/45 as well. If you're can come to terms with the fact that it won't look like a 1911, you'll be getting a gun that lasts a lifetime and a half, is very accurate, and will make anything that fits in its chamber go bang. If your looking for a lifetime rimfire companion that you can use for everything to tin can plinking on up to competitive shooting, go Ruger, if you just want to have fun and plunk a bit, the GSG fits the bill.

It should hold up just like any anodizing, think of this way, every knife out there that is aluminum or Titanium that is black is anodized, as the raw form is not black in color I have a TR3 Pro Tech that is anodized Red, it has been through hell and at around 5 years old still is as Red as it was when new

Sorry to hear that and hope food doesn't spoil. Make sure you drink any beer you have before it gets warm  :yum:

I just spoke with Dave, He has a guy building these right now, Dave's own words "these are some of the nicest knives we have ever put out" I am expecting them to be shipped to me next Tuesday, this comes from the man himself Almost there folks!

They're not happening more frequently - just reported more Clustering illusion: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Clustering_illusion

More people = more crazies = more shootings.   The simple fact is this nation is raising a generation of  dangerously demented individuals who feel no sense of responsibility, remorse or concern for others.

My colt has arrived. I know not everyone is a 1911 or colt fan but I had to have at least 1.

I broke my AK in the exact same way,  aside from throwing it on gravel.  I threw mine on the garage floor. Took six tries to get it right.  It really worked great anyway.

Yeah I'm curious about the ammo too.

No, it can't work that way. Guns aren't allowed on school grounds. /sarcasm

Probably 1/2 the price at TSC anyway.

No it's not, it's for the children!

If you get the Sig or GSG 1911-22, I would strongly suggest looking here as well..............http://www.cwaccessories.com/

I have heard that stuff before.  I usually say "Why not?" Then we get into a discussion about guns and safety. I had a guy tell me "I have a Black Belt and I don't need a gun to protect myself."  One thing I learned earning my black belt was, that belt won't keep you from getting whipped much less shot.  I have been whipped by a white belt, they forgot to tell him he wasn't supposed to beat up the instructor. The kid was a boxer. He was so fast! In Tae Kwon Do we were taught to block punches a boxer dodges punches. I'm getting off topic..................     "Because a policeman is too heavy to carry."

That ROCKS !

Simply put? The answer above. or simply answer, "nothing". :-) or answer, "the reaction to fear is fight or flight. When I carry I keep both those options."

Hey,   Quit clouding the issue with facts and charts.   Gun control and the 2A is all about feeeeelings.   You could probably produce another one of those fancy charts showing mass shootings are not perpetrated by citizens who legally own and carry firearms too.

Greg, while I usually agree with you; I can't in this instance.   I offered the option of a Glock pistol with a 22 conversion kit as an alternative. Many of us have Glocks. Get over it. The AA kit allows the shooting of 22 when we can find it. But you know that.   Others offered options to the 1911 format as well. That didn't illicit a response from you.   If you didn't agree, that's fine.   But since I've had dealings and conversations with the OP, I offered a suggestion and opinion to him.   Nothing more than that.

Have you canceled charges with your bank? Probably the fastest way to get your money back.

The problem (pro-2A) people, like most on this board, are having is not their stated cause...most of us would like to see our 2A rights completely respected. The problem is the way they are going about it.  Their methods, no matter how sincere and wonderful their goals might be, are stupid and causing far more harm than any good that could come of them.  I'd say their chances of getting open carry of handguns in Texas is about 75% less likely now than when they started doing this stuff.

I will post pictures of the first finished knife when they are sent to me, I know that once you all receive these knives you are going to love them,

Not sure it is a crack. Either way I would shoot and abuse it.

Reckon we can get a discount if we do a group buy?

You are more than welcome to come to Nashville, I will let ya shoot some of mine.
