I may add it to someone else's stuff, but not mine. I've spent way too much time cleaning carburetors, petcocks, and the like to try it. Whoever mandated ethanol added to gasoline should be submerged in a vat of it until bubbles quit coming to the top.

I had some free time tonight so I decided to do a drawing of my recent AK build. Started out to do a more technical drawing but got part way through and said screw it, so I ended up with this. It's hard to tell from the photo but it's actual size of an ak.

Drove up/Over to Pall Mall TN today Been unable to put a picture up but went and visited the Grave Site of Alvin C. York. Met his Son Andy York. We toured the house. Met some very nice people, both rangers and volunteers, as well as other people visiting just like us. We made a day out of it, even if I did wear 2 different kinds of shoes that I only discovered after we got over there.

It's Memorial Day Weekend bro. BONFIRE TIME!!!!

The trust isn't the issue. The photographs and fingerprints are. Currently, my items are owned by an entity, not an identity. My other trustees have no desire(currently) to own or possess the trust items, but they can if needs be or they want. None of them are "on file" for my hobby, nor will they be in the future. Same with my beneficiaries in the future, my kids are not sending in fingerprints and photos to own these items when the time comes. Everybody keeps saying 41f isnt that bad. I think it's terrible. This is how we lose, in small steps.

A 1970 Penny my boy found in 1973 on the ground. He was 3 at the time so when I told him that penny is good luck cause it's the year you were born he gave it to me and I carry it every day since.

Not sure if it's been done before. What is your '24/7 every time I'm wearing clothes' edc pocket knife? I've beecarryingng this Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian every single day for the past 9 years. The only time it isn't in my pocket is on a plane. I've cut everything you can think I could possibly cut with it. It's dressed 6 hogs, 4 deer, 3 coyotes & 11 raccoons. I've spread mayo & mustard, opened countless boxes, un done screws, re tightened screws, opened a million snuff cans & popped the top of hundreds of beers. I'd rather let you have an hour with The Wife than 10 minutes with this knife.

Hey guys , I just found these ,,,, They are battery post shims. Looks like they will fix this problem . Ill post this and it may help others. Like I said before , I fix major things but it seems the smallest things just get me LOL

Just got done listening to it...very close as far as I "scored" it. I think the lawyer for the pro-gun side failed to make the case that assault weapons are popular enough to be warranted the same protections as handguns under Heller. He stumbled a bit, and I think he pushed the "lawful purposes" line a bit too much. He was looking to add it as often as he could, even when it didn't seem to fit to the topic. There were obviously some of the judges out to discredit his argument out of an anti-gun, or pro-legislature mindset, but that was to be expected. The attorney for Maryland was checked pretty hard on a lot of issues. Of particular note was how assault weapons can be banned under the justification of public safety because they are prolific in mass shootings, but handguns, which account for 94% of murders overall can't be banned after Heller. Also mentioned during the defense time was the recent SCOTUS case on stun guns, which I found interesting. In all, I think this one will be close. I couldn't make out more than a half dozen voices, so that's a lot of judges that sit quietly listening. Cross your fingers folks...if Maryland's AWB can be ruled unconstitutional, any AWB can be.

I stopped responding to these juvenile elementary school post. They're just meant to stir the pot, and will lead to someone getting banned.

Weed killer for the fence line. I've added smaller amounts to the car to get rid of it. Adding a half gallon or so to 20gal of fuel in a vehicle will plenty dilute to not give engine problems.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's another thread devoted to bagging on Memphis. We're a Delta city with a completely different history and culture than the rest of y'all and y'all don't like or understand us. That's cool. The feeling's mutual.

Elmer T Lee is back in the market, obviously in limited quantity. If you want one today is the time to come in. It is going fast. BTW If I recall correctly we have it for $39

This is exactly why I view the media as nothing but propaganda for their political wings (and the views of their corporate owners) anymore. It would be nice to get real news with all the facts and no bias. You know, real investigative reporting and letting the facts speak for them selves so viewers could make informed decisions. But that isn't happening now and I do not see it happening anytime in the near future.

I'll try to do something about that with the next design. Good point!

Aside from the teenagers trying to get themselves killed and the guys trying to win the gold medal for loudest pipes, most riders are okay.

Case Sodbuster.

Mine is an old 3 blade Boker Tree Brand that belonged to my grandfather. its been used and abused and has been worked down to where one of the blades will stick you if you are not careful when it's in your pocket. i would like to say it's probably 50 plus years old, but I am not positive on that account. it just kind of feels right.

When I get home, my Wicked Edge will be able to handle blades up to 1/4 Inch thick, the new jaws finally came out!

So it is no secret that my heathen was raised around guns. She has been shooting since she was four years old. She started with a single shot bolt action .22 rimfire rifle and has progressed to where she can and does shoot an AR at the range. As she turned 9 last year she was eligible for 4H Shooting Sports this season. We signed her up and her first practice was in April. At her very first practice her coach inquired as to her experience shooting. I explained that she had a handful of years under her and I hoped he didn't have to unteach too much of what I had taught her. To my mild surprise he stated that she was a pure natural and asked if she would be interested in shooting the first match of the season, less than two months away. The Heathen is right handed, but left eye dominant. I have raised her to shoot left handed rifle. I am also cross dominant and it has never hindered me to shoot off-hand to my dominant eye. The coaches embraced this and let her do her own thing. They are all very impressed with her. They call her a natural and have been teaching her on Target Air Rifle, Sport Air Rifle, Target .22 and Sport .22. She also shoots archery. With a recurve. Nearly alone in that discipline as nearly everyone else shoots compound (bare, hunting and target.) The coaches are awesome, and have gone as far as to special order her a left handed Target Air Rifle and a left handed Target .22. They have that much faith in her talent. And on to that talent. Saturday was a dreary rainy day in Kentucky. But it didn't stop her. It was her first competition with less than two months experience on a Target Air Rifle. She placed 3rd. We are beyond thrilled.

Sorry to hear that he has passed. I met him at Spots place a few years back. Super nice guy.He wasn't really old either.

Very sad to hear this. Don was a great guy and great outdoorsman. Rest in peace Don.

Entry fee Paypal'd. Looking forward to getting my pewpew on that Friday with you guys!

RIP Timestepper. You family will be in our prayers.

Monkey said that sounds good but he'd like another bottle of that Weller!! ;-)

Timestepper has been missed around here and will continue to be. I didn't know him well at all, but he had a great sense of humor and seemed like a solid guy. RIP.

OK, I was with Don at the gathering at Spots. Don was good people. DaveS

This was in Sevierville. If I remember right it was 2012

I personally like building from parts kits, it's a fun way to get a new gun. Plus you can say "I built this." You're going to need to source the barrel and receiver for it or at least the flat to bend into the receiver. Outside of that it's converting your fire control to semi auto, pressing the barrel in and heads pacing it, and getting the rest of the needed parts out of the chopped up bits plus welded back on. All in all if you want to put in the work for it I'd say go for it, but it's not going to be like putting an AR together. To see how others have done it check out Weaponeer and Weaponsguild, both are great resources.

Well dang. You all got deeper pockets than I do. I mostly carry a Rough Rider Large Locking Trapper, or a Vicky Tinker, or maybe every once in a while a large Case Sodbuster. As a general rule, I don't carry expensive knives, because, well, I'm cheap. I have never spent more than $80 for a knife and that was for a custom Hargis 5" fixed blade, that I bought off the original owner. I also got the Case Sodbuster and a Camilous Switchblade Paratrooper knife (that is broken, but just needs a new switch) in the deal. As I have gotten older (and I believe wiser), I've found I don't really need that tacticool stuff and i have settled on carrying mostly slip joints, like Leroy.

RIP

Put it in perspective. I have a bunch of Spydercos, ZTs, Kirchoffs, and a Sebenza 25 that I don't carry either. I have Protechs without TGO logos. Not that I don't love all of them. There ain't room in the ole pocket. Besides, the ZT0550 is a helluva knive, and hard to beat. Some would argue that it has better blade steel than the Protechs.

Condolences Dave and to Timesteppers family. Met Timestepper at a gathering a few years ago, nice guy. RIP

This is a pretty good site to answer any questions you may have about Memorial Day.http://www.usmemorialday.org/ Lets try and keep this topic at the top thru the Memorial Day weekend

Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

I've got an original Enfield No.4 MK 1* Long Branch .303 British that my father left me and like it a lot for the sentimentality and its history. It's incredibly accurate and is what it is a good representation of what military rifles used to be. Yours is strictly a shooter now so take it out and have some fun with it. I think you acquired a fun recreational rifle.

It is always sad to hear of a member's passing. May he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace.

Memphis is better because it's a smaller sh*thole.

It doesn't have a high capacity pocket on it.

To offer something of substance.... If you could take a turd and chrome it, a Harley rider would find a way to bolt it to his bike. If you could make that chrome turd light up, a goldwing rider would bolt it to his.

Hmmmm I wonder why?

I've got a few people I knew that were lost in Iraq and Afghanistan that I'll be remembering as part of my Memorial Day. This day is for them, and all the others through the centuries that lost their lives for something bigger than themselves. It's also for all the gold star families. The burdens they've been forced to carry cannot be understated. So many stories of families having to move on from such a tragedy, it can give a grown man an allergy attack.

From Glock leg to M&P cheek!

Lint.

When we switched to the new software some banned members were no longer banned. I went through to make sure we do not get over run with problems again.

Love those plum 74s! You should grab that 5.45 ammo on the trader! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Damn good looking rifle sir.
