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  

While searching for a 3" model 60 in pawn shops, I was given an opportunity to buy a beautiful 3" k frame from a manager at a pawn shop that I have known a few years. It was not what I was looking for but I knew I would never find another as beautiful as this 1989 model 65. I had a rough old police trade in model 65 last year that I had actually experienced regrets on selling. When I bought this a few months ago it made me feel better.

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.

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.

I found a great deal and couldn't pass it up, all I added was the glass. CMMG MK9 LE OR and 5 mags. Its a ball to shoot, deadly at 100yds and eats anything I feed it.

Build was my intention, but having one in front of me was just too much temptation.   I was looking at a side-charger style, ala Circle10, and to use Glock mags. Pricing out all the different parts, I was coming in around 850 on the low end.   Time and parts availability made the decision for me.   With a few upgrades, like free float tube, and Gunfighter charging handle, this rifle works for me. And it came in at the 1000 mark that I was expecting to see.   Next, looking to make it a side-folder.    So, it works for me. Not for everybody I know, but that's what make this all fun.

Simple solution is to take a carry class. Laws will be reviewed, can carry in most places legally, and benefit from reciprosity.

Form 1 suppressor-9mm Efile trust Submitted 12/25/15 Approved. 3/24/2016 Didn't get batch approval of other submitted SBR's and suppressors

  You used the example that just because a person has a flame job on their car doesn't mean they are a 'speed demon'.  True.  Keep in mind, however, that insurance companies do sometimes charge higher premiums for cars that are 'fast' colors such as yellow, red, etc. over cars that are painted white and so on.  At least that used to be the case and I am pretty sure it still is.  So, same car, same engine, same driver, same torque and horsepower driving the same distances on the same roads/streets/highways with the same speed limits and the same traffic situations but higher premiums for one over the other simply because of the paint job - and because they probably have statistics saying that people who drive cars of certain colors are more likely to speed than those who drive cars of other colors.  Right or wrong, perceptions matter - and when those perceptions might be the perceptions of a jury deciding whether an individual shot another person because he/she had to or because he/she wanted to then perceptions matter a whole lot.

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.

  I'd have to take out a whole corner of the fence. That corner was in the area where they had to do some jackhammering to set the posts. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth, since I can get the same size but with a skylight and ridge vent built onsite for the same price.       I'm leaning toward this outfit in Smyrna/Murfreesboro area called Backyard Buildings. My father-in-law has one they built and it's been top-notch. Anyone else heard of them? [url="http://www.backyardbuildings.com/products/10x14-Hartford.html"]This is what I'm thinking of getting.[/url]. It's 10'X14, which is almost too much space for what I want. Plus, I'm going to add a storage loft to both ends.

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

Welcome to Nashville and here....

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.

OK Guys   everyone is paid off and knives are being built and I should be getting these bad boys out to you all by the end of April, they will be worth the wait I assure you

Well guess what? We have someone ready for adoption! Cooper is feeling A LOT better. He has doubled in weight and is 6mo old now! [URL=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/IMG_1671_zpsewfv4c5j.jpg.html][/URL] With Cooper there are a few things to know. He will NOT just go to any home. Cooper is going to need someone who will love him and focus on him. He has been through hell and back and he is a VERY special dog. He can go to a home with another dog but I would prefer to keep it to single dog or two dog homes. I believe that more then that is overwhelming for him and he needs to be able to come out of his shell more. He is a huge snuggler and loves nothing more then to lay next to you and cuddle. You need to understand he is never going to be a stereotypical Pit Bull. First of all, it's possible he's mixed with something and secondly, since he was so emaciated, he will never be huge, super muscular or scary looking. Consider him Revenge of the Nerds instead of The Terminator. Coop is house broken and happy. He loves to eat. He has slight food aggression with other dogs, not humans. He eats in his crate to avoid issues with the puppies, but in time I think he can get over that. You have to remember how emaciated he was. He is very gentle and meek. Loud noises, voices make him nervous, yelling is a scary thing to him. He is NOT good around chickens. I do not know about cats or children. I would imagine with kids he would be OK, but again, as with any dog, parental supervision should be a given. He is a great guard dog. He alerts to anything he sees that he doesn't like or know. He will make a great dog for someone with love and patience to give. Liz and Red... [URL=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/IMG_1647_zps89otole2.jpg.html][/URL] They have about 3 more weeks to go. These two turds are ridiculously cute and while I would love for them to go to the same home I know it is not realistic. We are still working on crate and potty training. :wall: And while I am not saying they're jerks, they're for sure bullheaded. Believed to be 1/2 Boxer and 1/2 Pit but again, not 100%. Liz and Red both love to snuggle and eat. While not doing either of those hobbies they can be found napping, pooping or biting something. They're typical puppies. We are working on manners but at 8.5 weeks, I am lucky if they come when called. They will be ready for their forever homes in about 3.5 weeks. If you are interested in adopting one or any of these mutts please just send me a PM and we can discuss it. Please understand there are adoption fees involved. There is an application process, there will be an adoption contract required and you should have a home with a fenced in yard. I am fortunate that I have a husband who is patient so there is no rush for me to re-home them. They will be with us until the PERFECT home is found. I am not trying to sound like Satan, but you have to understand that these babies have been through a VERY rough start in life and I fully intend on nothing but the best for them. And as always, because I am a shameless puppy rescuing fool, our links to donation sites below. Thanks again and please feel free to PM me with any questions if you're interested in adoption! https://www.youcaring.com/coop-liz-ressler-and-red-516225 http://amzn.com/w/1T8GYU8KCI9XU

  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!
