I know nobody asked, but if politics and religion were never talked about, we'd still be under British rule. Well, someone else might have taken over but you know what I mean. By avoiding these topics in society, we have where we are today. Which is not good to say the least.

Welllll.....sorry, but if you belive in what the bible says at all...they do not

I've spent some time with Comms in person.  My take is that he is very young and hasn't had enough life experience to know that some things are better left unsaid.  The comments that got him banned were dangerous hate speech with an endorsement of murder of ones political opponents and I agree with the ban.  I think they were the words of a kid spouting off at the mouth about something he doesn't really understand.  I don't think those words are how he really feels.   While I agree with the ban, I wish that hadn't been necessary.  I think he is a good person.   There have been several comments about his other comments.  The truth is this.  This forum is full of ego and testosterone.  He isn't a special case there.     I try to stay away from the political, religious and Muslim posts.  

  I think I had rather receive warning points here than from my wife, just say'n! :bat:

I firmly believe folks have the right to believe whatever they like. They also have the right to be wrong :stir:

  People avoid these topics because they are too sensitive and get hurt feelings, or they have hurt someones feelings and it came back and bit them somehow.   Agreeing to disagree is uncommon these days. Open political & religious discourse is what this country was founded on. If I say something its up to you to like it or not, You should be able to say that's not for me etc without me getting upset. The problem comes when these conversations go beyond polite discourse and turn very personal. Both sides can do this and sadly do too often.   I know what I believe and I know mostly why I believe it. I will listen to anything others say nicely, and I hope that they will do the same for me. Great progress has been made through this process. Sadly many children never learn this and now spend half their life with hurt feelings. Respect others just as you would want to be respected. We CAN live together peacefully, and learn greatly from each other if we try to.   Rant off... 0 warning points so far...

What in the heck. Complete thread derail and I don't care! #FreeComms

Dumb as an earthworm, them Grubbs are.

Comms brought his ban entirely upon himself. His final comments in that thread went straight to potato. And not just potato, but hate filled, little mustache wearing, goose-stepping, short bus riding, potato. Political discussions can get pretty heated on this board and I know that I have walked very close line at times but that dude saw that line and took an Olympic track and field world record holding leap way past it

I thought the first rule of 0 warning points was, don't talk about 0 warning points.

I never really cared for the dude.....everything he said seemed arrogant and confrontational but it's just my opinion so who really cares. People have told me my whole life I'm one of those type A personalities and maybe I'm just mellowing in my old age but I see no use in arguing about everything that I don't agree with on a forum. We all have opinions....just like....well you know. Nobody is changing mine and I'm pretty sure I don't have the time, patience or desire to change any opinions of yours. Besides...forums have rules and most people know what they are going in. Common decency seems to be the theme on most of them.    Carry on...I'll be in the area....no need to salute. ;)

Guess I am on side of don't miss him one bit. He was an arrogant asshat most of the time in my view. To each his own.

  Well....., In the almost year since you started this thread - - - I now have two more ARs in 9mm.  I'm using the PSA bolt in one of them (No Issues).   Dang Things are a Hoot-To-Shoot!  :hyper:

We're all entitled to different opinions. I don't eat seafood and my dogs are my family. I value them more than most humans. They're loyal, protect and don't cause harm. Religion and Politics.. Ahhh.. 2 things I don't even discuss with my best of friends! But in my opinion dogs do have souls in my opinion so I guess I'm hell bound!

I completely missed the final straw that got him banned. Now I wish I knew.   That being said, I have no problem picking up the torch and resuming the slandering of the 40 Short and Weak...

If you have a big source of cow manure, you can make full sized Obama dolls. 

  I haven't seen you make any warning point worthy posts in a good while. I guess you are mellowing in your old age, or just happier after getting rid of those Walgreen's assholes :)

Only the cool kids get warning points. If you're at zero....well..you're a zero.

I didn't find it entertaining when he said dogs have no souls and casually mentioned in a thread that his dog got loose and euthanized. While I agreed with him on 10mm being the best and .40 sucking eggs, that was about all we had in common. I feel like his rants were not only hate filled but almost purposely inflammatory in order to cause problems. Trolling almost. Not on a ShepardMaster level but a level to cause problems. Wasn't aware of the ban, but I for one won't miss anyone who is ok stating animals have no souls.

I ended up going w/ an M&P compact over the variety of glocks.... It simply shot best for me. I'm a big fan of German/Austrian engineering, and the reputation for Glocks simply can't be beat... but I went to the LGS and shot everything in their rental case. After months and a couple hundred bucks in rental/range fee's, I bought the Smith & Wesson, and couldn't be happier with it. Find a shop or friend or two here at TGO and put a box of ammo through each, side-by-side. One _should_ stand out to you in a head to head, and that should be the one you go with. A lot of the other-things that come up in 'which gun' discussion becomes secondary to which one feels most comfortable to you. It should feel  like an extension of your person, completely natural, and if it doesn't, you should keep shopping. Just my 2-cents.   - K  

How would you all like one of the Next TGO knives to be just like the first, minus the Special engraving of the Knife freedom and with a Two Tone blade?     If there enough likes I may make this happen  

Ok, so I run into a guy at work who just happens to have one more AK than he needs.  Turns out he lives just down the road from me and said he would drop by and let me check it out.  Great guy.  Although not a recent production WASR 10, it is a CAI Romanian WASR 10/63, Cugir, all numbers matching, good rivets with none loose or too tight, laminated furniture, chrome lined bore, slant muzzle brake, optics rail, no triangle markings, all engraving by machine not hand, in original box with bayonet/scabbard, two steel magazines with no wobble, oil can, sling, leather magazine pouch and all paper work to include original receipt from January 2007.  Very low mileage(two magazines fired when originally sighted in).  Seems to run like a champ and yes the front site is canted very slightly to the "right"...how appropriate, it's a conservative :)  I should be able to take care of the slight cant without too much trouble.  I did have to give him $60 bucks over his 2007 price on the receipt.  I guess now I will have to get another one to compare it to.  Oh, and a special thanks to Dolomite for info and advice provided.

I used some to help bring down a dangerouse dead tree once. I was WAY farther and probably used less. No way I would get that close to it. I wonder if it was the first time that guy had used the stuff.

43 feet? That's stupid. I've shot Tannerite no way would I shoot it at that distance, especially when set in a way to send shrapnel with the blast. Modern medical technology is the only reason idiots like this get to tell the story about the time that they blew their leg off instead of just dying.

Couldn't the same argument be made for using defensive ammo?  

I've got 300 weatherby, 338 rum and 458 win mag. I'll send them only because your birthday sucks and I'm sure you got stiffed in the past.

:panic:

Congrats! Looks remarkably similar to my Colt Sporter AR9.   Mabe we can get together sometime and try them out.

Amen!

I don't care if you have a giant purple chamber flag in your weapon. If you point it at me, we will have problems.

All my casings right now have powder and bullets in them, i'll try to remove them soon, the fun way of course.  :)

I can send you 6.5 Grendel, 300 blackout ,7.62x54r, 7.65x53 Argentine and maybe a few others if you want. I will look threw my stash tonight. I may even have some 8mm Mauser empties but not sure.

Sadly I say...I miss you, Comms. You were a shining light in the darkness. Even if you didn't like 40 and trashed it every chance you got. :cry: 

Welcome. And if you like to eat and like chicken , go to Hattie B's Hot Chicken on Charlotte pike . LOL . It's great and cheap . My wife and I discovered this a few months ago and we cant get enough.  If you like awesome burgers go to a place called The Pharmacy on Mcferrin Ave . The burgers are awesome and they make their own buns and have lots of craft beer.  I guess you can tell I like food :drool:

You only see that on your own page. You don't get to see the warning points other members may have accrued through COC violations.

LOL I'm so good I still beat somebody even though I didn't even attend

I broke my garden last Saturday, which means it's about time to revive this thread! Grab your hoes and let's go. :no1:

Welcome to the group and the great state of Tennessee

Agreed. Although I probably wouldn't actually buy from either.

Welcome aboard. :up:

True, but why do the work for them? Why not make them work for it instead of handing them all the ammunition need to string your ass up wrapped in a pretty bow? Adorn your toys, but keep your weapons clear of silly shit that may come back to bite you in the ass later. For me the key is that I understand that there is no justice to be found in our legal system. It is an enemy territory designed to destroy those who find themselves trapped in its workings. I don't view it through the lens of what I think it should be, but through the jaundiced eyes that see what it for it actually is.

Good Lord.... a cut early Winchester !  :( most of the parts you need are here also http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/USMilitary-33541/Rifles-42386/Enfield1917-40098/PartsList-36103.htm

Universal deprimer used before wet tumbling in stainless media. Clean primer pockets, shiney clean brass!!!!!

Far more guns get worn out due to excessive cleaning than excessive shooting.

I'm a huge Shield fan, and not a Glock fanboy. However, I don't think they are bad guns either. I just prefer the Smith brand. Removing brand preference aside, to me it would simply boil down to width of the gun and capacity. I generally carry as much gun as I can comfortably conceal. Sometimes that's an M&P compact (sometimes even with a fullsize mag and grip adapter) but most often the Shield. Quick question... if we're talking about the Shield, why aren't we also talking about a G43? If you're a Glock fanboy interested in a Shield, doesn't the 43 just make sense? I have also shot the 43 and am impressed with it. Great shooting little piece, but the grip is almost too small (not width or length, but depth forward to back) in that it feels like a little 380 to me, and I hate pretty much all of them, from the LCP to 42 and all others. The Shield's grip is about as small as I can go without feeling like the gun is swimming in my fat burger grabbers.

  Over a Year later and I am now convinced more than ever that this zombie thread is the Revenge of TankerHC!   And for those newer members to TGO..., TankerHC was a flaming A-Hole who just didn't know when to back away from the keyboard.  The SOB would private message you and attack your thread comments.   Then came "The Rapture" where TGO David banished TankerHC to pre-tribulation where he now experiences hardships, disasters, famine, war, pain, and suffering.   And forthwith Peace came upon TGO.    And civil discussions on firearms and the topics of the day resumed......    ...... which gets me back on topic.   I'm not a big fan of cheap 1911s.

For what its worth, it won't help the buffer get heavier reducing smoke, but if you want to play with the standard buffer and save the beating the Bolt Hold takes, the fix costs $1.25, and is completely refundable when you're done.     You can drop 5 quarters into the buffer tube, then place the spring and (STANDARD) buffer in as normal.     That pushes the whole assembly forward enough so that you don't get "slap" on the Bolt Hold Open when it engages.   You also use the 5 quarters in a SHTF situation if you need to.  Better yet, use Pre-64 silver quarters as they will have more value in a SHTF scenario.   Just don't forget to remove them if/when you ever move to the 9mm buffer or 5.56 BCG.  They are longer, and so the $1.25 will prevent the Bold Hold from ever engaging since the bolt won't be able to move rearward enough.  No harm would be done if you forgot, just the BHO wouldn't work.  I think it would still cycle.

  Well Then...., getting back on topic!!!!!   The strange thing is, AR 9mm cost is higher than most .308 builds.  I have two of them on dedicated lowers, one a CMMG the other a Black Creek Precision.    The PSA setup got bad reviews at first because the bolt was not ramped and that affects what triggers can be use.  I had read on ARFCOM that the newer PSA bolts are ramped which is a good thing.    PSA supplies their kit with a carbine buffer which IS NOT a good thing.  9mm ARs are blow-back and need a heavier buffer to keep it running right.  Otherwise you'll get a lot of smoke, flash & bang coming out of the ejection port.  Also the upper that PSA is using is a total slick design that does not allow you to install a deflector for all of that smoke, flash & bang coming back at you due to the light buffer.  The good news is the heavy buffer will take care of that issue without the need for the deflector...., bad news - - - heavy buffers cost in the $50 and up range.  ALSO, it helps if the buffer is designed for a 9mm.  These have a little longer length that a standard carbine buffer in order to not break the extended BHO catch that 9mm AR requires.  Some folks use a H3 buffer for the weight, but their BHO can have some problems.   They can also be a bit weird and quirky about what mags you use.  My CMMG hates metalform mags (the gold standard) and loves the cheaper ASC mags.  The BCP runs either.   Once you do get all of this sorted out comes one last thing - - - you Have to get a mag loader to save your thumb while loading those 32 round mags because you will be having so much fun shooting the thing your mags will run empty real quick!   Enjoy!
