That's a realtor snake. If my wife saw that in our yard, I'd be calling a realtor.

Last time I attended a Military funeral was here in Gallatin when a Local marine was killed in Iraq. The Westboro Church showed up for that one and so did the Patriot Guard. The LEO's here told the Church members that is they even so much as stepped 1 foot off the side walk and into the street they would be arrested immediately as their protest paperwork stated side walks only and they gave them an appointed location they were allowed in which to protest. Then when the Patriot Guard showed up 150+ strong the police told them that they could not park their motorcycles on any Sidewalks. The gave the Guard a designated location that they could horizontally back their motor cycles into the curb of which all were flying large American flags on the rear of the bikes. The parking area was directly in front of the Westboro Church sidewalk location. With all of the flags blowing in the breezes you could not even see the church members. I politely thanked one of the LEO's for their designed thinking and he just smiled and said thank you. Funeral came off without a hitch...................... :up:  :up:    

Check the Patriot Guard Riders website for any notices sent out about "missions".   PGR was established by two American Legion Riders in Kansas to put a barrier between these people and the families.  Mission statements will give the staging time and location, person in charge (ride captain), contact info and any other pertinent details.  Now we provide American Flag Lines and escorts for any serviceperson, veteran, or first responder when requested by the family.    Membership is free, you don't have to ride a motorcycle, or be a veteran-- just want to support those who serve us.                 They stood for me so I'll stand for them.

Yea...I'm from Louisiana and we shoot snakes on sight lol  All joking aside, thats really not a bad snake to have around...he'll eat the things you REALLY dont want around.

We are told do not judge all muslims based on the acts of the few. Why are gun owners not afforded the same courtesy...we are certainly judged based on the acts of the few deranged and criminal.

With all this Confederate Flag B.S. I think this should be shared again lol     https://vimeo.com/122070760

I read an article that the organization Oath Keepers sent members from the state of Arkansas to every recruiting office to act as security in case anyone else tried to copy cat what took place in Chattanooga. They said the Oath Keepers will remain at all Recruiting Stations there until they felt any threats were over. My hats off to the Oath Keepers in Arkansas for their fast response to protect our unarmed military Personnel................jmho

Another proof that gun control is not about guns, it's about control.

Westboro Baptist church members live for being attacked. That is how they make their money. They hope their rights are violated so they can sue. Most of the active members are actually lawyers or studying to be one. We all have our ways of making money and surviving but their way is absolutely disgusting. Anger should not be the emotion anyone who is burying a loved one should feel at their funeral and at some point someone is going to loose it and try to kill them. And although I do not condone anyone being killed for exercising their rights if it happens I will not be too upset about it. And maybe after they see their members are loosing their lives they will find an ambulance or two to chase rather than use their right to free speech to desecrate our heroes.   And even though the Westboro members have the right to free speech they choose to use it to disrespect those that have actually fought so they have that right and that is what bothers me more than anything else. They do not realize that is was those Marines, and sailor, that ensures they have that right to protect at the funerals of the fallen.

  Train them then.

I finished this build back in April or May or something. Special thanks to Gordon for making my buffer less than 2 oz. I haven't ran this gun with the new Syrac gas block on it, but it has to run a little better than that cheap POS $20 adjustable gas block I had on it when I went out the range the first time. The rifle ran fine before the swap. I did modify the trigger springs to lighten up the pull, but it would not hurt if I polished the grit out of the trigger. The trigger pull is nothing to write home about, especially compared to my current project.... Anyways, if you wasted two minutes of your life taking that rot-gut excuse of a write up, you deserve a few pics to make up.

As to the missing bullet? What do you bet the previous owner shot 200g'ers and dropped ONE bullet, it rolled under the bench never to be found again most of us who load are a bit OCD. No way a man can load 19, 49 or 99 rounds. You just cannot do it. He probably saw that one piece of lonely brass laying there and the temptation was just too much.

Very nice, and congrats! I've bough a couple of ALG QMS triggers just to have smoother than stock feel. For 46 bucks, I can't beat it. Once I practice polishing out the grit of stock triggers, then I won't pay for ones that have been polished. But for now, they are a great cheap upgrade.

Second rule of AR pistol club, QUESTIONS DO NOT GO IN THE LONG GUN FORUM! ....ohh come on. Everybody love FightClub.

Hmm, wonder where this douche is gonna be buried? Were he to be buried somewhere around here, wonder what the world would have to say if we protested HIS funeral. Maybe even set up a BBQ and beer fest with a portapotty over his grave. Westboro can do it, so why not?

  Well, there you go again...making sense and all.   Very frustrating, and very true.

A couple years ago I had a cracked nock and it cause my Switchback to come apart. Not for sure if the nock was bad or it was damaged by another arrow hitting it. Whatever happed the nock failed. The arrow landed fifteen yards short and the string and cable came loose. What I didn't know was that it caused some limb damage. Took the bow to Sportsman's Choice last week and told H.A. what had happened. He called Mathews, told them the story, and got me some new limbs under warranty. Both H.A. and Mathews could have said it wasn't under warranty and let it go at that, but they didn't. In my experience, both the dealer and the manufacturer went the extra mile. So the next time you slap an arrow take a good look at the nock to make sure it isn't damaged. Out of the thousands of shots this is the first time it's happened to me, and I must say, it still gonna cost me a few bills to get it fixed. Don't let it happen to you.

Anymore there isn’t a lot of difference in the “Republican Party” and the “Democratic Party”. It’s more of those that want to freeload off the government vs. those that work for a living. Both parties need the support of those that want to live off the government to get elected; they are a very big group...and getting bigger every day.

I agree, but tell me this.....what have the Republicans done any differently?

I shoot Berry's 100-grainers in my .380s and can use them in a 9mm case as well.  Both give good results.  I think that a heavier weight in a .380 case is an elusive and dicey quest.  Even factory loads stop at 95 grains and I'm sure there's good reasons for that.   If you're looking for a bullet that will satisfy two calibers and not put you into dangerous territory, I'd stop at the 100-grain and be happy, happy, happy.

I heard about that. I plan to be a part of that wall

      The hissing and biting when it saw you? :taunt:   It's either that or the vent scale... :shrug:

  I don't think they are fools, they know exactly what they want. They are authoritarian socialists, they dream of a time when America has the same type of government and laws like most all of Europe, they disdain individual rights which means they disdain the Constitution, they are simple elitist control freaks. 

It grows to 17', and eats Chihuahuas like tater-tots. 

I'm not sure how high the violent crime rate is with our senior citizens, but I can't believe it's a big concern. :shake: :shake:   Guys, our country is run by fools.

Your government at work....trashing the Second Amendment any way they can. I served in the military for 26 freakin' years and stunts like this make me ashamed sometimes I spend a day defending the rights of these assholes in Congress and the damn White House.

That's cool, but I could never have something like that. I'd have half of them tore out of the package and loaded.

  I find cheek weld alone as third point of contact more than sufficient. I experimented pushing out on single point sling, found it to suck big time by comparison, not to mention speed of deploying the first shot too.   I have a "fancier" one with brace too -- but didn't want to risk its somewhat higher value stashed in car -- plus I don't wanna have to look around for Max Kingery each time I fire it up. :) :)   - OS

I'm finishing up a 9mm AR pistol now. Waiting for the magazine's to arrive then off to the range.

That's beautiful. I'm working on mine now.

I don't know who ordered it but it was at half staff on our compound on Friday when I left.

First rule regarding AR Pistols: questions don't go in the Long Gun forum. :)   - OS

If I were the President or Governor of a state I would be doing anything and everything I could to keep and grow business here. Free land, tax breaks, whatever it takes. OSHA and EPA is a huge cost that many foreign competitors don’t have. We don’t want to give up many of those protections and standards so the Feds need to step up and divert some of that money they are handing out to social welfare programs to help industry with those costs. Then many of those people that want to work wouldn’t need a handout from the government; they would have a job. I understand there are many people that live off the government and want to keep it that way, but I believe the majority of people want to work at a good job with a fair wage. Increase manufacturing here and not only will the economy get better, but crime will drop. Unfortunately for some the word protectionism is a bad word. I am not part of that group. This is our country and it’s our responsibility and duty to protect our economy. The government isn't responsible to maintain it; we are. They just need to help where they can and not be against us.   Sure it is. But he isn’t a religious leader; he’s just a figurehead. I don’t care anymore about his opinion on gun control or abortion than I do about his opinion on a restaurant; it means nothing. The economy and jobs is something he can do something about and bring with him the people that can get it done. Morals? From everything I hear Hillary Clinton is leading the polls right now. So morals don’t mean much too many people in a President. I am amazed that anyone could vote for her. Unfortunately many of the people that would be good at the job of President; don’t want it. It’s pretty easy to find something in most anyone’s past.

  A cornered or pissed-off black racer will put on a good show in order to get you to go away and leave it alone. They'll do their best impersonation of a rattler, cobra, etc. by coiling up and striking as you describe.   And even though they don't have fangs, they have enough very sharp, backwards-pointing teeth to make a bite painful... and hard to get loose from your delicate hide when they clamp down and hang on.   I still have some very faint scars at the base of my right thumb from one such encounter. ... which is probably better than the bullet holes I almost got due to the same snake. :ugh: ( No, the Racer wasn't packin' a gun. The owner of the truck I hopped off of to go catch it was though... and also had a rather severe phobia regarding snakes. He "objected" when I offered to bring him the snake to inspect.  Let me have a look at his very nice S&W snubby instead... from the muzzle end. :eek:  )

I love it! If we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? A lot of people take everything way too seriously today.   Let's face it......stereotypical humor is just plain funny.

When we have to allow a disgusting group like WBC to hold protests at funerals; we truly have misinterpreted the Constitution and the intent of our founding Fathers. Send them the message that they have been barred from these funerals and if they show up they will be arrested and jailed.

Hit the pistol range this morning and decided to do a little skeet shooting this afternoon in the shade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY7FGyHsT_8&feature=youtu.be

  this may be, out of the box.  My mk3 has been converted to mk2 and is mostly metal.  Out of the box, it had a sorry trigger, the buck was better.  After the TLC, the ruger was better.  There are so many versions of both guns, its a tossup.  But out of the box, yea, browning is better, largely because of that trigger mechanism they stuck in the mark 3s for 'safety'.

  Something seems a little fishy about his weapons, not much being said where he got them. I still think there would be plenty of liberals screaming gun control now like with the church shooting but nothing is being said at all.   Wonder if any of those missing Fast and Furious guns have been smuggled back from Mexico.

Pine snake.... Pituophis melanoleucus.  They can get rather large. 6 or 7 feet, if they live long enough. Have had more than a couple of 'em show up around here, over the years. Won't hurt you, but might make you hurt yourself.

And if the above do not fix, try a Small-Base sizer.  I have had to do that a few times.

Pisses me off that one of the soldiers had time to send his girlfriend a text that said, "ACTIVE SHOOTER." If you have enough time to send a text message, you have more than enough time to pull a gun and return fire. Sick of our government forcing the military AND civilians to be sitting ducks.

And to think these Marines have likely made it safely through a few deployments only to be killed at home.

The difference between Muslims and Christians? Muslims want to die for their "prophet",  Christians prophet died for them.

This is on the "someday when I have the money to blow" list.  I was able to hold one at a gun store once, and it just felt awesome. 

Nice work. I have a hi power for you also if I can find time to get to you.LOL

You know, it's kinda funny when Maine gets Constitutional Carry before Georgia and Tennessee does. I mean sad.

I grew up in the late 60's and 70's watching the Dukes, listening to Charlie Daniels with a rebel flag on the album cover, seeing it at NASCAR races and remembering no one, white or black getting all that bent out of shape about it. Now I don't "know" how it feels but I guess I can understand why some black Americans who grew up in the south during the 50's and 60's would view it offensive, maybe bringing up bad memories of being harrassed or threatened, assualted and just treated horribly, maybe had the flag shoved in their face so I personally wont display one but I seriously doubt the motivation of many who do or did in the past was to promote racism, I just can't see Charlie Daniels or the Duke boys as raging racists. I think the attitude was better back in the 70's and 80's somewhat, most people white and black didn't waste their time and energy caring all that much about the rebel flag and could even joke somewhat about silly stereotypes in movies and TV shows. Think they could make Blazing Saddles today? Or even some TV shows like Sandford And Son, one of my favorites, or the Jeffersons. Some people today are trying to force their political ideology on others by labeling them racist and phobes ect., thinking that will magically make them see the world the way they do, all that's doing is pissing them off going in a step backwards.
