For the longest time I've wanted to build a gun to truly just beat the snot out of. Finally I had enough leftover parts that all I really needed was a barrel. PSA had these stainless barrels on sale a couple weeks back for $75 so I snatched it up and I finally have my beater I've always wanted. It consists of a Anderson slick side upper, Anderson lower with PSA parts, and a ebay free float that I like surprisingly well. I'll eventually swap the sights to fixed irons because it will be a iron sight gun forever. I'll also switch the stock out eventually as well but for right now I'm just enjoying it. I plan to run it without cleaning until it absolutely fails and document the round count so that might be interesting.

This knife has black G10 scales with grey liners and has those "cracks" etched into the steel. It came out pretty darn good. It was double etched with ferric chloride then sanded with 1200 grit paper to obtain that silver-grey color on the blade. I don't know if you can tell by the picture but the scales have green highlights in the grinds. It has jimping on the spine and is made from 5/32" carbon steel and professionally heat treated to a 59-60RC.

It would be nice to see a more conservative-biased or even Liberterian paper come onto the scene and put The Tennessean out of business entirely, but the day and age of the physical newspaper is seriously drawing to an end.

I have been wanting one of these for several years, I was lucky enough to be working with a Guy who's brother has around 30 Les Paul customs and needed some fast cash for an ugly divorce, so I got a fantastic deal on this that I just could not pass on, It is still at his home in Spain but when I figure the best way for him to ship it to me, it will be in my home, I may just get a glass case made for it and hang it on a wall (or learn to play it)

Grandpa sounds like a dick.....prideful but a dick none the less. Maybe there's a third party go between you could talk to.....like a church pastor or mutual friend.

Wrongle toggle switch and no washer, wrong tuning keys, wrong thickness neck pickup ring, wrong truss rod cover, wrong peghead face picture, wrong placement of toggle, a little bit mis-shapen body, not the proper grain and grade top, wrong case... probably some more if we had more pictures. It doesn't necessarily mean it can't be a good playing and good sounding guitar, but that's not a Gibson.

unless for some reason you dont get along with the grandfather or uncle why not talk to them?in a conversation you could offer a few things or something,or are you worried they might try and take advantage of your generosity?

See-through scope rings.   $800 rifles with a tasco mounted on it.   Pro mag.   Guys that inherit their grandpappys Garand/1911/whatever and immediately turn around and want to hock it.

Kinda wish I had a subscription with them so that I could cancel it.

It's not that some people can't understand the simple language and meaning of the 2nd Amendment, they simply refused to because they don't agree with what our founding fathers wrote and believed in. I don't have a college degree but it's obvious to me who "The People" are what the 2nd Amendment affirms, the 2nd Amendment couldn't have been more simple and straight forward. Most of these "progressives" have built a fortress around them and will not allow any other idea or thought to enter no matter what it is. These so-called "progressives" should really be called "Regressives" because their ideals and philosophy isn't progressive, the same ideals and philosophy have'nt changed since the beginning of written history. The philosophy that only a certain number of elitists will rule and judge the masses, the peasants have no decision how they live their lives because the ruling elitists only have the intellect to determine what's best for them. Those progressive ideals have been around since the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Romans, the bolshevik revolution, the third reich and now modern socialism which isn't modern.

  The same kind that collect benefits and are perpetual victims. Now they have taught their kids to be victims and to blame everyone else for their misfortune.

Well brother's and sister's after reading your responses on another thread, I made a move on my first AR ever. I went with the Ruger AR 556. It is SWEET! I've done made some noise with it. Thanks to all who steered me in this direction! Dave

From many personal experience, if the church already has a relationship of giving, you can funnel "stuff" through the church.  That way very few know, and you could be the eyes and ears for the church for other needs too. 

I hate warning labels engraved on guns. And internal locks And magazine safeties

Be mindful not to offend the grandpa/uncle's pride and you should be O.K. Goodwill investment on the young now may help turn them into productive members of society, and the good your kids see you do will be a great lesson. Kudos good man.

You need to follow your heart. There is always a way to do the right thing. I live in Wilson and have a tall 10 year old girl. We have clothes if needed.

Well, Since I am at the mercy of my friends when it comes to deer meat these days since my health went south, I let nothing go to waste. I don't get as many deer as I use to but have plenty of freezer space. I had a deer in my freezer that I had picked up from processor that a buddy put in with my name on it when we had a power failure about a month later and it was still warm because this deer was taken with a bow.  We were down about 23 hours and I never opened the freezer which is stored in an out building during that time. I have ten 1 gallon milk jugs of water frozen in the bottom of the freezer and all of my meat is stored on top of  the blocks of ice. I never lost one package of deer meat and all of it was still almost frozen rock solid when the power came back on. I also had some fish frozen in water bags in the freezer and the fish were still frozen solid. It is also one of the old freezers that does not self defrost which I think helps keep meats longer.    Now with that said, any of you guys that find yourself with an extra deer and you live in the area I will be more than glad to take it off your hands and pay the processing. I live in Gallatin and Poindexters Bait and Tackle has large coolers and is a TWRA check in station and if you take it there to check it in and want to let me have it you can put it in the cooler in my name and phone number and Buddy Poindexter will call me and let me know it's there. I will pick it up and take it to processors. Any deer will be greatly appreciated...........Thanks

This. Also the guy with his "custom built sniper rifle" shooting factory ammo and getting 3" groups at 100 yards. Who corrects you on how you shoot.

  The SN of the receiver.   Only SA and WRA made M1s during WWII   Here is a link full of great details for the Garand.   http://usriflecal30m1.com/   Mike.357, If the cartouches are clear on your stock there are folks who will pay a premium for WWII wood.  You could also work a trade for a H&R stock.

It's folks like this who cause me to mentally justify unthinkable things. Most the time I respect the laws which make society civil; other times I wish society would let folks like me off the chain for a few days to take care of human garbage who prey on the weak without remorse. They need a dose of their own medicine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  At times like this I wonder if trash like that talk and write the way they do because they think it's cool, or if they simply don't have any grasp of grammar.

  I agree. I hate that Brian Haas is a victim of this bull. 

Anything with Glock written on it

I'll use a separate post to call anything zombie related a gun turn off for me.  I hope those who bought something with that, or added it themselves in a permanent way didn't hope for resale value to be the same as a non-zombie gun would be.

I carry a Glock 26 condition 1 in a Bianchi Carrylok holster. The gun does not come out of the holster unless I’m cleaning it.   My two and a half year old impressed me a while back - when my 16 year old asked him what that was on my belt, he replied sternly "That’s a gun.  It is not a toy.  Don't touch it."  It’s obviously never too early to teach kids about guns.

  Wise words and sound advice. It's always satisfying when someone calls you on purpose, KNOWING you will give them non-PC advice. :)

I thought you guys would enjoy this. Here is a picture of the 2nd Amendment Foundation proudly displaying the check they had cut from the City of Chicago as a result of being awarded legal fees ($399,950 to be exact) they incurred to successfully fight and win the McDonald v. Chicago case in 2010. They posted it on their Twitter feed to kick off their public relations campaign in support of their new lawsuit against Illinois regarding restrictions in there nascent CCW law. Here's hoping they bring home another win, and another big fat check!

One of my grandsons is getting an average of 50 to 60 hours a week now and has been for about a month. He asked one of his supervisors if they knew how long the overtime was gonna last and all the guy could say was he had no idea. My grandson called me gripping and bitching about all the overtime and how he had no time on weekends to do anything but rest up on Sunday for the next week. I told him, " Do you remember 4 years ago when you were working for all those Temp Services and barely scraping by and worried all the time about being able to pay your bills. I do because it was me loaning you a few bucks here and there to get you through the week. I finally had a friend of mine get you that job you have now and you have gotten three raises, a newer car, checking account and savings account and your own place by listening to ole Grandpaw. Now listen one more time to him. Shut up, quit your bitching and enjoy all the overtime you can get because over time was always a blessing to me and you will have plenty of time to spend the money when the overtime ends." He said , "That is why I always call you instead of Mom and Tommy Grandpaw." They agree with me all the time and you give me pep talks."............................... :rofl:  :rofl:  

Sounds like you visited The Outpost Armory.

Got a Sig Scorpion today. Been eyeballing these for the last few months, anxious for a range trip...

Well I finished this monster... 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel heat treated to RC60. The blade is 10" long with an overall length of about 16 1/4". It's got olive green canvas micarta scales with light grey G10 liners. I has jimping on the spine forward of the handle and the scales are mechanically fastened as well as epoxied. It weighs nearly 2 1/2 pounds. :lol:

The reason this happened is because the guilty party was emboldened by the lack of punishment when he was caught doing the same thing only a year ago. By letting these feral creatures back into society without any punishment (probation is NOT punishment), they are actually encouraged by the liberal courts to assault and murder the innocent members of society. All perpetrators who commit unprovoked acts of violence towards innocent people should be put to death. Rape, murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery should all carry an automatic death sentence. Anyone who would commit such acts has no place in society, and doesn't deserve the opportunity for redemption, and surely doesn't deserve freedom. They deserve to die. Painfully.

Daddy Billy's over on Atlantic , beer and darts food use to be pretty good have been in some time now

I am taking the "Red headed step child beat the snot out of" thing a bit bad just right now, to make up for it you should send me the rifle to "Let this Red head" beat the snot out of it. :cool: :wave: Nice looking truck gun, please let us know that round count.

Like I said you should be fine.

Generally most use 29.5" for a standard 10.5" barrel and M4 stock. Anything in that proximity will be fine.

Home grown ARs with a emphasis on a list of components that were purchased and installed (woo hoo).  If a comment must be made, just state:  look at me I can follow a recipe to roll my own, that is all.  No need to shine your light to the world and your gifted AR assembly abilities!  If a list must be shared, only share "the list" when you are selling or trading, so as to stand behind your build if the next owner has a problem, otherwise I don't care, and don't want to hear it!  Any one with cash or credit, access to the internet, and somewhat be mechanically inclined can do the same, what makes your special.     Just load, pull the trigger, and move on!  No lip!   Now if you are forging, machining, stamping, and other manufacturing in your home garage, and your metallurgical analysis can prove superiority performance over OEM or other after market parts, and the cost value is worth the gap in the proven superiority, then by all means broadcast loudly from the rooftops, I will listen!

Thank you Gentlemen, I had  some concerns about it being the real thing, which is why I posted it on here, Fortunately I have not yet paid for it and will not.

I quit paying attention to this trash newspaper many years ago ...  

Nice pistol there! Not a big 1911 guy but rails on 1911s just turn me off. Have fun and be safe.

I used to work a LOT of OT. Some years I would make 50% more than my salary on OT. I hated the hours away from family, but the money was great. It did get me out of the workforce a couple of years earlier by paying off almost all of my bills and built a bigger nestegg than if I had not worked it. I would do it again gladly.

   Looks like a nice buck, buddy!

Beautiful!

Welcome :up:

Yep, with the release of this pistol brace, it kinda kills the SBR thing for me. Not entirely, but it sure curbs that appetite for one.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum cousin, firearms and all that encompasses that has a rather large learning curve. You have made yourself apart of a community that is a wealth of knowledge, make use of it as I have. Kanpai  :cheers:

Thats why I always carried when I used to deliver pizza even though it was against company policy. Prayers to the family.
