Ginger And::::: I searched for an hour after i got home null.I set up an Optex motion sensor on my deck where the side door is,thinking about what hersh said. I hadn't laid down for 15 mins and the alarm was going crazy I went outside and she came barreling up the stairs, stopped short looked at me and darted into the house. Drank a ton of water and chilled out. Imagine that ... Lil ah!t I was lucky as hell so was she. Thanks for the support I really really appreciate it!!!!!!!

This is Jax and Opie. They were 4 weeks old Friday, qnd are half miniature poodle and half yorkie. They are already showing signs of having moms intelligence, but they both sleep on their back, paws in the air, like their daddy does. Just wanted to introduce them now that they are walking and are in the super cute stage. [URL=http://s535.photobucket.com/user/tnplowboy07/media/20140713_151314_zps2pqbvxpv.jpg.html][/URL]

So I have known that the design of the 300 Blackout was far from new. It was yet another rework of a previous design. The 300 Blackout is identical, as in the load data and ammunition, to the 300 Whisper or the 300/221. The 300 Whisper was developed by J.D. Jones in the late 80's and early 90's to do the same thing the 300 Blackout is doing today. Even back then users were loading supersonic loads but the majority of users were shooting HEAVY subsonic ammunition. An interesting note is the fact that the majority of 300 Whisper guns used 10 twist barrels and not the 8, 7 or 6.5 twist barrels of the 300 Blackout. And with the 10 twist it worked fine. And the 300 Blackout goes back even farther. Prior to the Whisper you had the 30/357 Paxton which uses a necked down 357 magnum case and is capable of shooting subsonic rounds like the 300 Whisper, 300 blackout or 30/221. Pretty sure the 30/357 Paxton was developed in the 50's. The 30/357 is what people call the 300 Blackout rimmed and although some use trimmed 357 maximum brass to get to the 1.368 case length the case length of the 357 magnum will work just as well. So other than a rim these are identical as far as performance go. And for the longest time I thought this was where the 300 Blackout's lineage stopped, well that ended today. A fellow 300 Blackout shooter had some documents related to the 300 Blackout as pdf's. He uploaded them and as I was reading I found the great grandfather of the 300 Blackout, grandfather to the 300 Whisper and father to both the 30/357 Paxton. And the new relative of the 300 Blackout is the 8x35 Ribeyrolle. It was developed, and rifles chambered for it, in 1917. Ribeyrolle was working with Chauchat and Sutter at the time of its development. It was to be chambered in a full automatic gun designed for trench warfare and was called the "trench broom". And although there were guns produced in the caliber none were ever adopted because is was not accurate at 400 meters. Here is a picture of the 8x35 Ribeyrolle: And anyone who is familiar with the 300 Blackout, 300 Whisper or 30/221 can see the obvious resemblance. I always say there is nothing new as far as cartridges go. Very few cartridges are new and novel anymore. All you need is to go look into the past, copy it and give it a catchy name to make a mint.

  Well, a 1911 is gonna be about 2' in the ground. A Glock might bounce :)

So here lately I've been videoing some of my shooting with my phone, and using screen shots to try and catch neat stuff, this is the best I've done. I ALMOST caught the flame! Also caught the slide all the way back Here's another decent one done the same way, caught a piece of brass mid flight All done with my iPhone 5c. I will say, if you've never recorded yourself shooting, it's a learning experience. Even though I hate being in front of a camera, it's really helped me correct small things that I normally can't see because 75% of the time I shoot alone

A plain cheese pizza from Mafiaoza's.  My three toppings are three beers, but those don't get added until they mix in my stomach. :yum:

It's not a defect.  It's a feature.  Ruger's Operational Sensor Highly-Interactive Takedown! (OHSH!T!) device for cleaning purposes at the range.

I dunno what it is and will buy it sight unseen for twelve dollars

That'll get you fired any place I've ever worked.

It 1/8" thick 1095 carbon steel. The blade is about 3 3/4" long with an over all length of about 8 1/2". It has walnut dymondwood scales and three SS lanyard sleeves for pins so you could lash it to a pole with some 550 cord or whatever you have available. Dymondwood is thin layers of natural American hardwoods. Resins and dyes are imbedded under extreme heat/pressure to form a perfect long lasting handle material. The blade was double etched save the edge. First the "lines" were covered with tape and then etched to make them a bit "proud" of the surface. Then the tape was removed and the blade was etched again then immediately stone washed to get the finish you see. It has jimping on the spine forward of the handle and is a clip point design blade.

When you have a son, you only have to worry about one dick.   When you have a daughter, you have to worry about all of them.

As big as you can afford.

No real pattern. I am not detail oriented enough for that. More a series of complimentary colors to help just break up the definition of the rifle

Sorry to hear you're having this trouble. My wife's LCP has never had this problem so I'd give Ruger a chance to make it right.

Heh. And probably not a good idea to weld it.

Only a Jeeper will realize the true humor in this!

Never saw one until now....thought they were just a myth told by the Glock elders.

Went out shooting today, very happy with both rifles. Dialed in the red dot at 50 yards, the ALG ACT trigger is very nice for the $60 range. I may throw a scope on top and see what this barrel can do, but I am pleased with how it shot since it is a 3moa dot and was shooting unsupported. I knew my 18" barrel was a shooter, and throwing the Geissele trigger and Magpul STR stock on just make it a lot better. 7 shot group at 100 yards, front end on a sandbag, shooting 69gr Nosler CC over TAC. I called the 2 low shots, so that is 5 in about half an inch (0.723 - .224 = .499). I need to throw this rifle on my Caldwell steady rest with a couple of sandbags to weigh it down and see what it can do.

We got a place with 5 acres last November. I got a new 2013 Kubota L32000 HST 4wd with the FEL. I previously had an older Kubota B6000. The L3200 has been awesome. It is a little light weight wise but in moving trees, dirt, rock I have yet come up short on power. With that said I would go with a L3800 if it's priced right. Trouble you may have now is all the 2014 tractors have to have the new EPA emissions crap in it. The non emission 2013 may be hard to find or marked up. I heard the 2014s have had some problems. If you go Kubota and don't mind the drive to Huntsville AL check out Huntsville Tractor. Sales tax in AL is only 2.5% vs 9% here in TN. I just got finished clearing a spot and building a berm for my pistol range. This fall when the leaves drop I'll be taking some trees down to get a100yd rifle range. Freakin awesome!

Probably not the kind of response you were looking for, but I'd list it just because it takes 5-10 minutes, won't cost ya anything, and there are lot of people who only go to the classifieds here and not the other boards. What do you have to lose? :shrug:

The divisions will be TI ( TAC. Irons) and TO (TAC. Optics) It will be all 3 guns. I helped Paul set up a course today. He has a good variety of targets.

Lots of us still haven't learned that one totally.

It will be interesting to see the format. I emailed for info and got a response but it was kind of generic. Not sure how up to speed they are on actual three gun as far as commonly established scoring and divisions. Should be fun regardless.

Maybe she didn't like who you put her in care of while gone and was just hiding and waiting for you to come back home before showing herself. I have heard of that happening before with other dogs. Sure glad everything turned out for you well and your best friend is back home. ................... :up: :up: :up: :up:

 Read this last night. What great news when I checked again this morning!! I'm glad things worked out!!

Dryer ducts that run through floors or in crawl spaces should be rigid metal pipe for exactly the above reason. The metal flex hose stuff is ok for very short runs where normal joints won't work and the nylon flex stuff should be avoided completely.

Glad your dog is back home!   Years ago someone stole my bluetick hound out of my truck.  Several weeks later I got a call from a rescue group in the next county telling me they had her.  The few dollars I'd paid for a microchip was well worth it.

That is awesome news. I'm glad she made things relatively easy on you.

Eat news

The only thing that has less sense than a 12 year old girl is a chicken.

Glad she is home. Makes you wonder what they were doing all day while out and about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read this last night, prayed and got up today to the good news, glad it all worked out and she is home.

I'm really, really glad for the happy ending here! My hound was a rescue and I'm sure he was someone's beloved pet before he came into my life as he is well trained, fixed, etc.  The rescue organization and I assumed he got away from his owners following some interesting scent (as bassets are want to do) and may have traveled so far that he didn't know how to get back home.  In any case, he is now part of my family.   He was not microchipped and if he had been he would likely have had a very different outcome (as would I)...I had him chipped within his first week in my care as was my other hound. Microchipping is not expensive; around $75 which I consider to be among my least expensive and potentially most rewarding investment.

Glad to hear you found her. I worry anytime I can't see either of my babies. We are empty nesters so we dote on our dogs.   When Lilly was young we had someone try to dognap her. I called her back before she got to their truck. Had they left with her they would have had a very, very bad day because they were going up a dead end road when they tried. Not sure anyone could dognap Gus or would want to because is a bit intimidating now.

My C Products mags have been flawless in over 9K rounds. You can pick up 32 rounders for under $15 each.   We are able to hit clays at 100 yards using our 9mm AR. It is a Colt pattern gun.

Yeah, dogs do know where they live and will eventually make it home unless some human snatches them up. If there is anything I can do on my end let me know. Might want to post it on social media for your area.   BTW, I would reclassify your "trusted" person to something else. I have a few names in mind but I don't want to have to warn myself.

Damn! I would be a wreck. Scour the neighborhood, post signs, put an ad in the Lost & Found section of Craigslist, check with local pounds/animal shelters.

  Time to come clean, I guess. I haven't stopped carrying my ZT 550. These autos are fun and all, but...

Seven daughters, one son.  Every one of them very different.  The house got so quiet once they were all grown and on their own, we got three dogs and a parrot.  The dogs and parrot never ask for money or talk back.  Well, sometimes the parrot does.

Nothing gets by you, Dave. ;) - OS

  My wife & I got lucky & have two young boys (4 & 8 yrs old). My older brother & his wife on the other hand, have two young girls (2 & 4 yrs old). I told him that was payback for all the mean stuff he did to me growing up. :rofl:

I never thought I would have a Luger, but lo and behold, I stumbled into my local gun pusher's store one day, and there in the display cabinet was a Luger priced for a song. He said a guy just brought it in and want to sell it on consignment. As the old saying goes, "A blind hog will find an acorn every now and again. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_1517.jpg.html][/URL] It shoots as well as any 9mm I've ever fired.

I play redneck golf. I have a buddy that works at a golf course, and he gave me a 5 gallon bucket full of ratty old golf balls. I take them out and shoot 'em. Pretty challenging at 10-15 yards with a pistol, just plain fun with rifles further out! Large, flat nosed bullets (44mag, etc) really send 'em flying when you hit 'em square on!!

I don't know what middle class is, but "rich" is anyone making more than me. :D

The Army had a harder-hitting pistol for many years. Time to go back to the 45 acp and 7.62 rifle.

Yeah, I know it looks weird, but if it works I don't much care. J&L tuner, Fedderesen nitrided 18" .920 barrel, Boyd's tacticool, great trigger, stock receiver, replacing bolt next week with a custom bolt from QUE, DNZ one-piece mount, MidwayUSA exclusive Simmons Whitetail 6.5-20x50AO scope, Rimfire Technologies bedding kit used to free float this for the time being.

I gave up on shoots years ago.  Pretty much because I saw an amount of unsafe gun handling around me that I was not comfortable with.  If there was a TGO shoot I'd be all over it as I think TGOers are better gun handlers than the general public.  Since I quit going on shoots I've had some success hunting alone and using decoys.
