I'm going to sign some of y'all up for Facebook accounts...

See there, Gordon. Start a "be nice" thread, and now there's fixin' to be an ass whippin'.  :rofl:

I believe this is what this thread is addressing. It is the veiled insults and passive aggressive comments, such as your suggestion that I (or people who disagree with you) don't love the Constitution of the United States. It leads to people like me, who are far more direct, calling people like you out for your childish insinuation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got some blades back for heat treat. The set and the orange scaled knife are for a customer in China, and the wooden scaled knife is for my leather guy, Mark@sea! Nice work there Mark! Thank you!! I love this wood!

Yep, and I am at a loss now.

It's just you. There's nothing in the rules that people need to be as right leaning as you are in order to be here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Yes.

A lot of what Dolo and the other keepers of the house are addressing is covered in the sites rules of conduct. We all agree to abide by them when we join and post. Big boy rules and all that. Bottom line, if dissenting opinions offend you, or will cause you to be less than neighborly, Political and General chat may not be your ball of wax.

  Agreed.  It'd be nice to see more gun content on a gun forum.  :(

  Cure for all that mess is a simple credit card. Not only is it free, and they'll even pay you to use it. I get couple hundred bucks kickback a year, and used to get a lot more when I used it for work. And perfectly safe, not responsible for one dime if hacked.   Credit cards are da bomb .. as long as you don't use them as a loan. :)   - OS

We had our first "cold" snap and it has already started. As I am sure everyone has seen this, the winter months tend to shorten men's fuses when we cannot get out as much. And when our fuses get shorter our responses get longer and sometimes we say things with the intent of hurting our fellow members.    Remember, we are a large family but a family none the less and that we all came here because of common ground. Every single one of us has something in common with everyone else here so lets try to find a little more common ground rather than try to figure out our differences.   And in doing so lets try to be a little more tolerant of our fellow members.   Right now we, as Americans and gun owners, are in some very stressful times so now is the time to support one another if for nothing else than to help ourselves make it through the times we are in. We MUST come together for the good of us all and that is just not possible when we are bickering among ourselves. How can we all stand united, as Americans and gun owners, when we are trying to find the differences?   So I ask for anyone involved in a heated discussion to step away from your computer for a few minutes and then reread your post before hitting submit. It might save the edit to fix that misspelled word you missed the first time as well as hopefully preventing someone from posting something they might regret.   Thanks

That's not what this is at all. You're the only one here getting your feelings hurt. You can't seem to differentiate between conflicting opinions and grown up behavior. Grown ups can disagree without hurling insults; children cannot. You are acting like a child. Not just with the passive aggressive insults, but also by attempting to change the conversation about what the corrective action is addressing. Very clearly, it's addressing inappropriate comments, not opinions or lack of political correctness. By all means, if you can't speak like a grown up, stay out of debates where opinions may widely differ, but don't try to play the martyr as if you're being attacked for your beliefs. No one here buys that except for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SINCE IT WAS SUCH A CRAPPY DAY I SAT IN MY RECLINER AND STARTED THINKING ABOUT LIFE AND CAME TO REALIZE THAT,   AS I HAVE GROWN OLDER I'VE LEARNED THAT PLEASING EVERYONE IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT PISSING EVERYONE OFF IS A PIECE OF CAKE.   CONDOMS DON'T GUARANTEE SAFE SEX ANYMORE, A FRIEND OF MINE WAS WEARING ONE WHEN HE WAS SHOT BY THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.   LANCE ARMSTRONG….I THINK IT IS JUST TERRIBLE AND DISGUSTING HOW EVERYONE HAS TREATED LANCE ARMSTRONG, ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT HE ACHIEVED, WINNING 7 TOUR DE FRANCE RACES, WHILE ON DRUGS. HELL, WHEN I WAS ON DRUGS, I COULDN'T EVEN FIND MY BIKE.   DRIVE BY….SOME ONE BROKE INTO MY HOUSE LAST WEEK. THEY DIDN'T TAKE MY TV, JUST THE REMOTE.  NOW THEY DRIVE BY AND CHANGE THE CHANNELS ON IT. THE SICK BASTARDS!!!   THE AGONY OF AGING….ON THE MORNING THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDED I STOPPED IN TO VISIT MY AGING FRIEND. HE WAS BUSY COVERING HIS PENIS WITH BLACK SHOE POLISH. I SAID TO HIM, "YOU BETTER GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED - YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TURN YOUR CLOCK BACK".   VIDEO SCAM….JUST GOT SCAMMED OUT OF $25. I BOUGHT A TIGER WOODS DVD ENTITLED "MY FAVORITE 18 HOLES". TURNS OUT IT'S ALL ABOUT GOLF. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! PASS THIS ON SO OTHERS DON'T GET SCAMMED.   PREGNANT PROSTITUTE…DOCTOR ASKS A PREGNANT PROSTITUTE, "DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS?" HEY DUMB ASS, SHE REPLIED, IF YOU ATE A CAN OF BEANS WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONE MADE YOU FART  ????.

Bacon grease. Smells heavenly when it heats up & muslims won't steal yer gun.

Hope everyone gets this memo !

Apparently Fireclean is nothing more than Crisco brand vegetable oil that costs like $10 a gallon. The testers used infrared spectroscopy to compare FireClean to various vegetable oils and they found a match. I knew it was BS when they claimed that when using Fireclean your gun will be smokier because the formulation used caused the crud to remain as smoke and not get deposited in the gun. I am searching but apparently Fireclean was issued a patent for the use of vegetable oil as a firearm lubricant as well. If any of this is true a lot of shooters are going to view this company in a whole different light. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/09/13/yes-its-true-fireclean-is-crisco/ And another article regarding the actual testing. http://www.vuurwapenblog.com/general-opinion/lies-errors-and-omissions/ir-spectra-fireclean-crisco/ In my 2013 article about gun oils, I mentioned that FireClean wasn’t advertised as protecting against corrosion. Given the results of this test, I suppose that makes sense. When I fired this AR which had been sitting for years with FireClean on the internals, it hadn’t been exposed to UV, although it certainly saw some oxygen. Since that test, several friends told me privately that their 1911s did not function properly after sitting for six months with FireClean on the internals. It would seem that these results are highly dependent on the weapon. Given that people in the military are often exposed to both UV and oxygen (such as when they go outdoors) and also need corrosion protection for their firearms, I would not recommend FireClean be used by members of the military. I offered FireClean a chance to respond to the findings of this test, and, among other things, they asked to review the draft of this article for a few days before it was published. That is not how this blog works. I assume they will be publishing a response through other channels. BTW, I have a product called Dolomite Clean. It is identical to Fireclean at 1/2 the cost. And I just received the first bulk shipment.

So my wife is at the checkout today there was some lady behind her that was about shoving my wife into her cart because she thought if she was rude and pushy the cashier move faster. The lady would not back off to the point where my wife was wondering what her deal was? Then she tells my wife "you move I go next" my wife reaches into her car and accidently drops the family size bacon on her feet. Talk about taking care of a rude disrespectful person! Then she followed it up with oh my I am almost sorry guess you are still learning about personal space!

  You know the block has to offset a skosh from barrel shoulder (width of handguard retainer that's not there), right?   - OS

You couldn't have satired a better thread if you tried Dolomite! ... and wow, this went downhill fast. Not every comment needs a response. ;)

That's a no brainer.  Halloween is right around the corner:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SimMpsUeBE

Dont forget that most pawn shops in and around Nashville are actually gun shops in disguise  :rofl:

      Just be careful not to bump into any of the nice cars there...

This is good stuff...!!  Congrats to your wife for solving a little problem and teaching a valuable lesson in the process... It don't get better than this...   Keep up the good work... leroy

Nothing makes me grumpy like hearing how they did it somewhere else.

It sounds like you gun is perfectly gassed with the other BCG. I would toss the other carrier back in.

Make sure the BCG is properly lubed. I have had similar probles pulling a dry gun out of the safe and shooting it. Most of my AR's have M16 carriers

Certainly, not locking back is generally due to undergassing, and sure, the lighter BC would tend to help that a bit, but did this just start happening all of a sudden with the M16 carrier already in there all along? If so, I'd suspect gas block or gas key has come loose.   Also, what weight buffer is in there now?   Just changing carrier to the slightly lighter AR15 type carrier, while it may allow normal function, would suggest it's still running at edge of reliability to me.   - OS

  People can think I am crazy all they want.  My CCW stays on my side as long as I am awake and goes on the nightstand beside me when I sleep.  If I didn't have dogs in the house at night that I am confident would bark if someone were breaking in, I might even wear it in bed.  

Seems like the trash bag wearing ninjas love sams for the deals on stuff they never use like toilet paper and deodorant. Gave up my membership years ago cause I refused to pay to be part of the stupid and nasty faction The pizza and hot dog lunch used to be good though...

Same here... I'm saving for a G20. Plus, I have an AK parts kit still sitting in a box needing a receiver and barrel. These AR deals are crazy good, though.

I remember back when fire was invented and folks acted the same about it!   :squint:

I started my .300 BO build, but in the spirit of true ADD, I've been looking at the .25-45 Sharps. Basically a .223 necked to .25 with a slight neck angle adjustment.  Same platform advantages as the BO; replace the barrel and shoot.   A ballistic equivalence to the .250-3000 Savage with the original 87 gr bullet: Around 3000 fps. Anybody here done any work with one?

I almost got the 300, that is one heck of a deal. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

  Yeah, never heard of an AR failing from bolt or carrier being too wet.   - OS

The irony of a "please be civil" thread turning uncivil.

I never consider Crisco as a liquid as I come from a Wesson Oil family.  I'd like to see someone slather on some regular Crisco on their AR, you know, the solid kind.

  Not much to go wrong with a gas block if it doesn't leak.

I will see if I can get a video of my 7.5" AK with and without the 4 piece.

My wife is not someone to mess with...I just wish I could have been there to see the look on the woman's face when the bacon landed on her feet. Classic move.

Inept offense was troubling.  If a draw to Hurd or a screen or short slant is all the offense has, it's gonna be a long season. 

When you're done, you can come do mine!

I don't even go to my mail box out by the road without a gun and my hand on it in my pocket.   I have known of folks getting robbed while out cutting their grass. There is really no where that is actually safe anymore. Robbers are getting more brave these days. I'm just glad no one was hurt in that one.............jmho

Worked for USPS for 21 years. Make mistakes? Yep! Every other shipper in the industry make mistakes? Yep! Sorry to say €#%}{? happens. I will pit the delivery record of the post office against any other service. It's cheaper and faster. No, your tax dollars do not substain it. Mistakes happen, show me a business that it doesn't happen.
