This is a new twist on some new material that I'm using, CPM 154 steel and a hunter/skinner design. This model just might be a keeper!

Shepherd Master was doubly predestined for the big prize. He was a joy to behold. John Calvin would be proud of me, sneaking in double predestination like that.

Let's see, a video that only gun people will watch challenges Oblamo to a debate? Hummm, I think it would have been better to issue said challenge via the news media to exert pressure on the president to actually accept said challenge. Seem to me this is just more scaring the gun owners to get money out of them. Typical NRA, IMHO.

Let's not forget that Grabthar's Hammer helped to forge his great success.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okGtzjaEgKk

UPDATE --- I ended up getting letter from TICS "conditional proceed.. and talked to TBI they said just reapply when expungement goes through.. if denied instantly again... fax expunge papers with the appeal and should be good to go

  And Metatron in Dogma.   His role as the ghost lover in Truly, Madly, Deeply is perhaps my favorite of all, though many here would call it a "chick flick".   - OS

It's a shame DiCaprio  is such a turd in real life.

A Kevorkian Button! We'd have to put 3 safties on it and people would still push it to see if it works.

While out on my gun shop checks for the week I stumbled on a neat little 22 magnum. I never knew the single shot Ithacas existed until last month when a 22lr appeared in the classifieds of TGO. This one is missing all of the paint from the receiver and the lever, but it actually looks like it was supposed to have came that way. The wood is beautiful and the blue is neat with its patina. The best I can tell it is from about 1963. I can imagine the stories it could tell.

  Comms,   I love what you said above.  I think you are speaking to what your innate strengths are.  Remember to make arrangements for that event I mentioned the 27th from 7:30 - 9:00 am.  There will be several folks that can really help you out.

  VERY underrated movie. It's one of my favorites.

Even more of a waste of time than the Bill Goodman show at the fairgrounds.

There is one absolute fact about this video that most people wont see or realize. I don't always like "what if" scenarios but i'll use one this time because i'm pretty sure, 99.99% of what the outcome would have been. What if the Frenchman hadn't been armed and hadn't threatened to use deadly force against the attackers? He would have been beaten and possibly killed, but he definitely would have been physically attacked. What most wont realize, many will flat out refuse to admit that it's a fact that the Frenchman's handgun stopped him from being attacked, just the presentation and threat of it alone prevented bodily harm or death to an innocent man by ruthless thugs. I know that we know that's true but many who don't own or like guns wont see that, some would if you brought that up and they saw the video, then there's the ones who know the gun and the mans willingness to use it stopped an attack but will refuse to admit that because they hate "gun ownership" so much they would have rather seen the innocent man get attacked, then make excuses for the Muslim attackers. Like I said I believe he would have been justified in shooting batman at one point but as others have pointed out it's France, not Tennessee. There's some that might have some moral problem with shooting the terrorist thug, that's what I will "refuse" to do, have any sympathy whatsoever for a thug weather it's your garden variety gang banger or Muslim Jihader etc. This video proves the guns save lives.

Don't think this would've saved Shepherd Master. ;),

I hate to admit it, but I watched AJ every now and then, and I found it less offensive to the intellect than CNN, MSNBC, etc.

I went and seen my movie and it was the most intense movie I've seen in a long time. It has some very graphic indian fight scenes. not to mention the bear fight.  DiCaprio earned his money being in that freezing water time after time.  The movie just won the Golden Globe's best Actor,Director and Movie, it deserved all three. Some of the best acting I've seen in a while.  I loved the way they worked the camera around,.....awesome work. 

Just this week, I took my "sniper style assault rifle" and my "high capacity magazines" to the range where I shot 80 rounds of ammo that could "pierce armor" which I received via internet ordering direct to my door.   I get it.  The President wishes he could enact all kinds of gun restrictions and would love to prevent everything I mentioned in the part above.  Same for Hillary.  But since they suck at it, we're living in some of the best years ever for gun rights.  Federal law in the modern era has never been better for the pro gun side, and I for one, would like to hear less doom and gloom, and more positives.  President Obama is a political lame duck.  It's time to start treating him like one.   That should have been an eight minute dissertation on how useless the President's actions are, and how gun owners can prepare for future fights like the Senate races that could determine the direction of the Supreme Court for the next 20 years.  They should have shown how gun rights have expanded through state legislatures, and how in less than a generation we've gone from a debate on nothing but gun control, to victories for gun rights.

  Agreed.  I was focused on the shorter OAL, but being jammed into the lands also creates more pressure.  It also leads to quicker throat erosion.  

Hopefully soon, I've got nobody to share my spontaneous insights and gwar videos with :(

Pressure can build in both cases. Wuth the bullet seated deeper there is less space for the powder to expand into before the bullet moves. If he bullet is already touching the lands it is much harder to get the bullet moving so pressure goes up. Many factors can effect pressure some are more obvious than others. Read, ask question, learn.

Calm down, it's not a gun. She said it's my job to buy the weapons....that said, she provided something to carry them in! It's a Plano Tactical 108031 AW Extra Large Pistol Case. She got it for right at $75. Seems to be designed to turn 2 pistols in alternating fashion (2 on top layer and 2 on bottom layer). But I'm going to pick up another slim piece of foam and make one layer for magazines/accessories and the other for pistols. Well, that's where I'm at anyway. I only have a couple of pictures but it's just because I was excited to show it off. I'll take a few more detailed pictures when the girls aren't trying to go to sleep as the dogs bark because I'm up making noise. :lol: This thing is BIG! It has 4 heavy dual stage locking latches, two of which lock. They provide 2 keys of course. It also has padlock tabs for airline compliance. The o-ring seems pretty well made and of decent thickness. There are two pluck-able layers of high density foam, and they are about 2 inches thick each I believe. In the bottom of the case there is a smaller and thinner piece of removable foam that fits the section of the case that is of a smaller than OAD of the case. There is also a pressure relief valve in the back of the case wall. What I did may not be what everyone does, but I plucked out the size per pistol first. Then the piece I removed, I cut in half with my knife and re-inserted back into the hole. I did that to decrease the distance from the foam each pistol laid on and the one that pressed on the top of it when closing the lid. I doubt very seriously that a little bouncing in between foam would "hurt" anything, but it's what I thought would work better. I'm still in thinking mode about how I'll finish it off. I don't want to rush and then come up with a better plan next week. All in all it is a very nice case and I'm very happy with it. See? I told you I was excited!

I thought I would post some pictures of my latest projects.

I've really come to like it and the reddish tint it has.

So I have to come out and say " I'm proud to live in tennessee" a bunch of new laws passed for gun rights. One you can carry in a park now which I'm neutral on that one but the one I did find appealing was you can now get a lifetime carrying permit which goes into effect July 1st. There is one that I am glad got turned down and that was you had the right to open carry without a permit....my reason behind that is I think you should have to go to the class so you know what you can and can not do and how to handle a situation. If the law did pass there would be so many lawsuits in court it would be unreal.

After attending last years NRA show, Mrs hlb14 and I have decided to make it a yearly getaway.  I've never stayed in Louisville, are there any areas to avoid? Also, is there anything else that is a must do? Any must eats?

Rickman was #3. Lemmy was #1.

    I watched about half of the first video. I would like to say that it won't happen here but I can't.

Loyalty to what made the business.  Unheard of anymore.  That is fantastic.  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

You might be forcing the bullet into the lands just a bit and on retrieval it is sticking and pulling it back out of the case. I have the same rifle and it indeed has a shorter throat than normal. I have the Hornady COL gauge and the special case for it, and I found I was getting irregular measurements even with that until I inserted in easy. With a 175gr BTHP from rocky mountain I was getting a 2.750" oal, and a 2.193" oal @ the ogive IF I am reading my notes correct. With that being said, I don't have a lot of time with this rifle yet, and the only time I took it out, I was having some scope issues, so I didn't waste anymore time fooling with it that day. You may try to resize the case so the bullet has a tighter fit allowing it to stay put, just a thought.

  Mags and holsters aren't a problem, aftermarket stuff isn't as common as a Glock or M&P but its actually nice enough out of the box to use as it is. After viewing the pictures and video of the decocker lever I no longer have any concerns. The two springs would be my only concern, keep an eye on them or replace them with stronger springs and never worry. It takes a determined effort to make that decocker work, enough so I wouldn't bother deactivating it. A pair of stronger springs would suffice should I wish to make the decocker harder to activate.

So, obviously go see the Louisville Slugger factory.   Horseshoe Casino (Caesars property) is just over the river in Indiana as well if you like casinos.  The area in and around 4th Street Live was packed with restaurants and bars when I visited there.  I'd stay in that area so you can walk around at night, and drive to the NRA Convention.  I found Louisville to be a nice city.  The time of year you're going will be beautiful to walk around downtown day or night too.

    These are all just deer hunting rounds so it is a good comparison to each other.  When you add in ammo price and availability, it seems to me the 270 is the winner.  

I like the beer at the Gordon Biersch restaurant at the entrance of the 4th street party district. The food was good too. The rest of 4th street I could do without.

Well if that's the case i wish someone with lots of money would push the button and take it to court so I would not have to dissarm in the truck when I got to work or toss out a pocket knife every few weeks because i forgot i had it

As a teen we took a tour of the Louisville Slugger factory while on a family vacation. That was fun, and we got some factory seconds for stupid cheap. Still have one. If it's anything like it was 20 years ago, I highly recommend it for a fun 2 hr excursion.

I just did the free shipping, tracking shows them to be delivered today.

Straight wall pistol cases like the 9mm is where you will see pressure jumps from seating to deep. For instance those 147 gr. Gold cups can run it way up but you have to make them short enough to go in the magazine. Always try 2 or 3 before loading a tray full. Go easy with any small volume case and don't be afraid to lose a gr. when you start compressing powder. That's why the old guys all start low and go up slow and watch your OAL. Sunfish  

Crap. I still use a RAZR V3, and even a backup.   - OS

A nice car and a couple of nice bikes would be on my list. My "sports" car would be a candy apple red 1969 Dodge Charger with a blown, efi, Ray Barton 500+ cubic inch hemi, 6 speed tremec transmission, Dana 60 rear end and the best interior money can buy. Sent from behind the anvil

Yes, shorter OAL using the same bullet creates more pressure assuming the same powder charge.

So many times I have wanted to strap a scabbard on the bike and slip a birds head grip, 18" pump gun down in it, but 2 things stop me. One, I don't really have the money to be the test case for "in the motor vehicle " and Two I don't know how to secure it in the scabbard if we stop to eat or anything on a run.

Why don't they make all signs on private property have force of law?  I'd really like to see someone get arrested and fined $500 for having a candy bar past a "No Food or Drink" sign.  If its good for one sign, why isn't it good for all signs?

ROTFLMAO! Just for that TMF, I'm switching back to the old avatar! LOL!   - K  

If the state really wanted to make some money, they'd institute a "lifetime TICS fee". They'd make money and some of y'all would be in the black in a couple of weeks.

I will make sure to find me a knife fighting class before I use one for self defense. Matter of fact I don't think I have enough gun training to carry. After all being in the military, being in law enforcement as well as carrying a firearm for work in hostile environments probably isn't enough for your requirements. Personally the ONLY people who should not be allowed are those who have a proven VIOLENT history. I don't care if someone is a felon or bat#### crazy as long as they are not violent they should be able to use any means necessary, including fully automatic grenade launching machine guns, to protect themselves even if they do not have a single second of training. You, my friend, are the worst kind of gun owner. One that wants to limits other gun owners for their own reasons.
