Well, excuse me all over the place, I thought it was uber unique. I'll lower the reserve on it to $10K, good deal for one of youse guys.   - OS

The infamous Mozambique drill from Collateral as well as the one that predated it by two decades in Miami Vice...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsKj6RGQ2VM  

Doc Holliday - "I know, let's have a spelling bee!"

Was this Officer Farva by any chance?

$5,000 minimum bid. I hope this guy really likes that gun--he's gonna own it for a while.

My ex-wife had a mood ring, it would leave a red mark on my face whenever she was mad.

Haslam was grasping at the chance to gain National attention by forcing Medicaid Expansion in a Southern Conservative State.  He purchased the seat at the head of the Republican Governors Assn. and has achieved Obama's Most Favored Republican Governor Status. Haslam has the centrist bona fides he and the milquetoast squishy Moderate Republicans think necessary to win, if they can just import enough entitlement seeking newbies to gain power, whilst holding on to the Conservatives.  They know it is time to change ends of the court. He is headed to the Senate, having time there gives him international experience if he kisses enough rump to get the correct committee assignments, (and he will) he already has time in the saddle as an administrator of a State, (a large bureaucracy).  He will have enough money to run, and has ties to the chamber as their boy to garner their help.  He has the chips from running a huge company, so the business folks will fawn. Anybody that does not see the steps being taken does not want to.

nothing wrong with a Rock Island 1911,  just not going to pay 1250 for it.

Crisco from the can.  Life is too short as it is.  Once in a while I'll treat myself to some in Butter flavor  :yum:

Dinner is long past, buddy. My latest attempt has be Korean BBQ chicken. Some times called dak qui or dak gogi. I have tried for 10 years to get that one correct and I am about 90% there. However the gochujang that I got last Fall in Ohio is all gone. I need to find some locally. With that said I have mastered bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef) and we have a few times a year. You want a heads up next time I make it?

Sleeping with the fishes is the expression. But then again, it is Putin we're talking about. ;) - OS

Picked up my stamp and can today at the word famous finest guns and leather in greenbrier. 4 mos from submission to can in hand! Booyah and thanks to rob at g an l for getting it right the first time! Time to go hose down a golf ball w a zillion rounds of 20 cent green tip!!!!

I bought this when I got home, had several upgrades done to it and today i got to pick it up a week early!! i the bike sounds unbelievable I absolutely love it

Man, talk about a product that screams "safety", an injectable tanning product made in China. What could go wrong?

Good thing Comrade Stalin isn't around to see all these maxipads applied to proper Soviet weapons ...

Watch search engines such as www.ironsights.com for people who have the P30/VP9 mags in stock.  I picked up four more 15rd mags this past week at normal retail (non-gouging) prices.

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Frano is still dead...

I am sure someone with the means to run serial numbers could tell you who it is :x:

It's cool, but it's nowhere near $35,000 of cool.

prying up on the clip made all the difference in the world.  It comes off my pocket a lot easier now but still grasps enough to not fall out on its own.   it is a keeper and will be my edc.

Any store that sells a pistol with a "clip" in the case is off my list. Idiots. And how nice of them, to package a $450 pistol in a $7 MTM handgun case for under $1,500! What a steal!

people believe all sorts of stuff.   If one of my battle rifles has killed someone I am assuming it was a Nazi or a Jap or a commie,  for me then it came loaded with good karma.

  For C'sake, at least pick one that isn't openly anti-gun.   - OS

I never drink more than a sixer and always keep the ashtray on the opposite side of the bench from my powder.

He's probably been on a grizzly-bear wrestling marathon or something.   Or maybe riding a girl's bike wearing Mom jeans. Oh wait, that's our president.

Sounds like someone who watches Ghost Hunter reality TV  while on the edge of the bean bag chair. Probably has a  mood ring and an ora orb somewhere on them at all times lol

Why don't you people buy ammo for calibers that you do need and leave the rest?  That would go a long way towards stabilizing things.

Here's the truth, anyone CAN carry a gun, and use a gun for violent crime, ANYWHERE in this country, and they do often..Thats why the good people of this state and country go thru the often times painstaking process of being able to LEGALLY carry a firearm for protection...Thats the truth the gun grabbers don't want to tell... I say too bad, you cant have our guns, because our constitution says you can't

I think Ivan did not complain because there was a Russian officer or a Nazi ready to shoot him if he balked

Speed and accuracy, gets the job done every time.

HLB14,   I'm with you on the HK guns.  There will be an HK with a hammer in my future.  I'll tell you, I've always been a John Browning fan.  Having said that, HK and Sig are changing my mind.  

I went with a Kydex from Leatherneck Tactical in Murfreesboro. I love it.

Find a local bank or credit union. Don't punish yourself with the terrible treatment of one of the nationals.

My "I cant stop eating" items are mandu (Korean stuffed dumplings) and lumpia (Filipino version of an egg roll). When ever I make either I am miserable that evening.

Just a guess here. Are you under 30?

  Tactic seems to be to not ban guns at all anymore, just make them empty.   - OS

Double Stuff Oreos

  Extra ones don't matter either. If any stock in the mix of all your stuff is kosher, they all are. Parts do not have to "match" guns one to one, extra parts are fine.   "An NFA firearm is made if aggregated parts are in close proximity such that they ... serve no useful purpose other than to make an NFA firearm or convert a complete weapon into an NFA firearm".   - OS

  Oh, THEY know exactly what the purpose of the Second Amendment is.  They simply want to convince everyone else that it is about hunting, etc. so that the real purpose - kicking their sorry butts out of office by force, if necessary - will never come in to play.  If they went by the real purpose of the 2A, not only would it be illegal to ban so-called 'military' type weapons that have 'no sporting purpose' but, indeed, those would be the most protected weapons of all.

Honestly, I believe that the 'green tip' ban is a way for the ATF to put out feelers.  If banning that ammo succeeds, they will start looking to ban any and all ammo that could, potentially penetrate soft body armor.  Of course, given the 'right' circumstances and testing protocols their results could likely include at least some varieties of pretty much every medium to high powered rifle ammo and likely some handgun ammo, as well.  It won't matter if such ammo has ever actually been used to shoot a cop and defeated body armor or not.  As I mentioned in another thread, I seem to remember the late and not lamented Teddy Kennedy pushing to get some varieties of 30-30 ammo banned because they could defeat soft body armor.  Think about that - a firearm, usually a lever action rifle, that is likely viewed by most non-gunners as one of the most 'benign' of the deer rifles and some jackhole has already tried banning at least some varieties of ammo it uses.

Very nice.  All these bike pics have me itching to get out riding.  Been out of the country for a bit and can't wait to get back Saturday and get mine cleaned up.  We did a TGO ride last year in Middle TN.  We will do another one ( I may go ahead and put out a feeler for dates).  If you ever want someone to ride with, let me know, it always nice to have someone to do a bit of running around with on the bikes.

he signed on when it was obvious the new regulation was a non starter.   BATFE was backing away when he signed on.  He did not change anyone's mind   Dude is a joke and anyone who voted for him ought to be ashamed.

I almost got into trouble for this one.   I used to refer to my brother-in-law's wife as his "future next ex." Did it so much I almost said it in front of her one day.   The only thing that stopped me was my wife realizing that I was about to say it again and punching me to derail my talking.

good one,  i got to tell my wife.  she is number two. 

No unkindness meant, but assuming that's you in your avatar pic, you seem to perhaps be like me, as in, um,  not exactly svelte. ;)   Which is to say that stability and comfort with IWB carry is partially dependent on just where your britches/belt ride in relation to "waist" vs "belly". Let me know if you find an easier solution than what I really should do. :)   - OS

  There was some saying back then, you had to be a brave man to be a coward in the Russian Army.

It's been a long while since I was there, probably 7 years. I went 2-3 times back then over several months. My impressions were: - just average size retail space, far from a high volume shop but not a tiny single counter either. Maybe a dozen glass cases and several walls full of long gun racks, the rest metal shelving with accessories. So overall selection just average. Now if size and selection alone turn you on, try Gander Mountain in Mt Juliet. - staff were available if I needed help but I never asked for anything, and they didn't approach me. It was slow each time, maybe 2-3 people shopping other than me (mix of weekday and weekend visits). - the prices were OUTRAGEOUS, so much higher than any other gun shop I'd ever been in. So much of a shock that I was left with the impression that they must be catering to a wealthy clientele that doesn't ever shop around to compare prices, and they were blatantly gouging folks on many items. It was because of point #3 that I left and never went back. Perhaps they have expanded and dropped their prices since then, but nearly all reviews I've ever seen about the place continue to give the same impression, so I don't plan to go back unless new evidence surfaces to warrant a long drive (doubtful).

    This hurts my soul.    :stunned:

  You would think Marlin, Winchester, and some others would make or start making more if there's a market for them. I know a 158 grain bullet from a .357 revolver 4" barrel can produce about 1300 to 1400 fps out the muzzel, wonder what the velocity of the same bullet comming out an 18" or 20" barrell and what the perfect barrell length is. I would load the heavier bullets in a lever carbine, at short range it should be a pretty effective gun. Then you could have a nice GP-100 on your side loaded with the same ammo.  :) That's it, Ruger needs to make a lever gun, you know it would be a robust gun of excellant quality.
