Minimum wage was never intended to be a career.

Having had the latter... can I try the former for a while? Just to see?

Do you prefer a ton truck or a Corvette?

Maybe the internet isn't right for you?

I made a more in depth description and personal analysis of a bolt cycle in a direct impingement AR15 as a supplement to the previous CTS buffer video.

Tell that to people of my generation.

If they were worth $15 per hour they would not be working in a fast food joint.

First and foremost, Merry Christmas! After months of passively searching, I purchased a factory FDE SilencerCo Osprey 45 suppressor for my FN FNX 45 Tactical in FDE. I purchased the suppressor via GunBroker from BMC Tactical/Warrior Steel. After remitting my payment 45 days ago, my suppressor arrived at my preferred LGS, the Nashville Armory. The wait time officially begins as my paperwork has been submitted!

Good grief... Practically 7 months. Our government sucks major bilge water.

Great video and explanation. I'm guessing Opr8rERROR would give a pretty informative explanation as well given the chance...

I am not sure that much hate is healthy. Have you thought about seeking counselling?

The wait is officially over, my friends! I was at the Nashville Armory this afternoon filling out my Form 1 paperwork to SBR my Draco AK. Lo and behold, my tax stamp arrived while I was completing my paperwork. My suppressor was in jail for 197 days, but I am thankful that I had the opportunity to put it through its paces while it sat in transfer. This is my first tax stamp + I will have several more trickling in until the following January. My nightstand gun is officially complete!

Really Like the way you show the bolt face rotation. I have tried to describe this action to folks with words, but your illustration nails it. I'll now point folks toward your YouTube channel to explain this. Great Work!

Get the Smith. Better gun, better re-sale.

Or an El Camino with a back seat.

Since 8/2008, all receivers are to be transferred as "other firearm", new, used, even if they can only be made into a rifle, whatever. It is not a handgun when transferred on the 4473, and that's what counts. You do have to be 21 to receive one though, and can only be transferred in the state of your residence. Not because it "could become a handgun", but simply because it is not a "rifle" or "shotgun", specifically the only firearms that USC allows 18 years olds to buy, and the only firearms that can be transferred in a different state from your residence. - OS

Thats funny right there but glad the Chow didn't get to you enough before you got the mask off. This reminds me of back years ago when I was getting ready for Halloween and putting on my Grim Reaper make up to hand out candy that evening. My daughter and wife was going to be taking my grandchildren around the neighborhood. All the time I was putting my make up on my oldest grandson was watching me. Later that evening he was made up as batman when they arrived at our house. He would run up and knock and when the people would open the door he would yell out "I'm Batman" and people would give him candy and he would move to next house. Now take into consideration he knew that ths was poppaws house and was excited to say "I'm Batman when I opened the door. Well, he knocked and when the Grim Reaper opened the door He said I'm Batman and then the words OH NO!!! came out of his mouth and he clear the 3 steps of the porch in one leap and went running to my daughter and wife and hid behind them. They tried about 3 times to get him to go back and get his candy but he was having none of that. Later that night he had forgot about it and after they were done getting candy they came back to the house and came in and he saw me and this time instead of running he just stood there and peep his pants and It took about 5 minutes of me taking my makeup off to convince him it was poppaw. I did have a little problem giving candy away that night...........

These minimum wage lifers are creating a real problem on teenage workers. It is getting harder and harder for them to get first jobs that enable them to learn how to work in a professional capacity...

I'm too fat for a full suit. But I've long wanted to do helmets. Y'all are making me jealous.

guess the dollar menu will be going to the $5 menu?

Cracked open another bottle of 1792. Yet another drinkable Sazerac offering.

I sent my pistol to Springfield last Wednesday. They called me late yesterday. The problem was a bulged barrel. Ouch, I would not swear that i didn't have a squib load. I was shooting at a range and watching where the rounds hit the target pretty close. But anyway the fit up of the slide to the barrel is tight enough that my gun would not cycle. the slide would move about 1/4" and stick, that is it would not go back into battery w/o a good push on the back of the slide. I was a little hasty in my first judgement of Springfield. Communication problems we on my end. My email server was acting up. A big thanks and good job to Springfield, $142 for a XDM match barrel a few firing pin parts i did not send with the gun and Springfield covered FedEx shipping cost, both ways. I'm one happy camper!

Along with Beiber, lets throw in Florida Georgia line and all the executives on Music Row. Don't even have to get anything for them, just get them out of here!

New addition to my full size 40s vintage self loading rifle collection. Finally bagged me a Swedish AG-42b otherwise known as a Ljungman. Here it is pictured with my other three. Top to bottom: 1942 Springfield Garand, 1945 Ljungman, 1941 SVT 40, and an Argentine FN49. . Still on the to acquire list are a MAS 49/56 and the Egyptian Hakim (Ljungman copy). Then maybe a Beretta BM-62 or a Walther K/G43 if I can swing it. I would still love a 41 Johnson automatic too. Again, this is just the big rifles. I have also an m1 carbine and SKS. I'll add a VZ 52 and a Rasheed at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This looks cool. I think it's my next project.

I've got a good one, when the time comes

Those look absolutely great!!!

Good googly moogly, you can just SEE the sharpness!

I have an awful clack noise coming from my Dodge too I've been putting off troubleshooting because I'm nervous what I'll find. I'm hoping it's just a CV or wheel bearing. Maybe this weekend I'll tackle it.

I'm firmly in the "milled is better" camp and a RMR snob. You'll have to either plunge right in and possible get something you don't really like or find people to let you shoot their setup.

lol.....yeah we've thought of doing videos like that but there are some that wouldn't know or understand that its completely satirical. The idea is still on the table, we just need a coordinated time that we both can record videos.

I would not hardly call .357 in any length barrel inefficient. I believe one of the most exaggerated facts is that of the .357 magnum loosing energy in a short barrel. I have a 1.87" barrel scandium S&W that is still launching the standard 158 gr magnums over 1100fps. That same 158 gr magnum has always produced 1250fps in a 4" revolver. Remember, the same 158 gr 38 spl load, standard pressure, is right at 800fps which is often not enough velocity to expand. There are a few light 357 magnum loads on the market that I prefer for the j frames. One is the almost non-existent 135 gr Gold Dot. And the other is the readily available 125 gr Golden Sabre. I get a little less than 1000 fps out of a 360 with the Golden Sabre and can stand to shoot more than I can afford. Both of these mimic 9mm performance. So a 2" bbl revolver will be the equivalent of a 3" 9mm auto. My favorite 357 is a pre-lock 3" model 60. I haven't chronographed the Golden Sabres but I think they are about 1100 in the 3" and standard 158 gr magnums are probably 1200 fps.

If you're gonna shoot the crap out of it, and carry it in your truck, or while in the woods cutting down trees, get a Ruger GP100.... If you're going to leave it in the safe and show it off to people at the shooting range, get a S&W.... Both good guns, just depends on how much you want to spend and how pretty of a gun you want.

I have a few friends that truly subscribe to this theory. One of my good friends is like a gypsy. He is in another country or state constantly. Hell, he's lived all over the US in the 10 years since we graduated H.S together. In some ways I'm jealous of him but then we will try to go out for drinks and he never has money. Being happy is important but I also couldn't go through life being constantly broke.

I have one as a company vehicle. Would have never bought one on my own but I would now. The trunk is really nice for keep things like a BOB and other such stuff. It is just barely large enough to carry 3 of my customers to lunch. I drive most of my territory and it is great on the highway. I say this from the position of also owning a quad cab 3/4 dodge diesel. If it were to be my only "truck" it would not work for me but for day to day stuff it is great. Kind of ugly but very functional. Mark

I submitted the form 1 on 3/1, approved 8/23. A big thanks to Michael Dresner of Law Enforcement Sales for doing my trust engraving and adding the folding stock. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

I will take a Smith any day over a Ruger. The Smith will generally have an overall better fit and finish. I am not saying the Ruger is garbage, but they generally have stiffer triggers and often leave the factory with burs or slight imperfections.

Money ain't everything. Do what you like and be happy.

We lost a hell of an actor today. Gone but not forgotten, rest easy Waco Kid.

It's a very light duty truck, an SUV or minivan without the enclosed cargo area. Honestly, the vast majority of truck owners who very rarely ever use their truck like a truck would be well served by a Ridgeline.

I looked in the current rulebook but didn't find any distance listed, but yea I seem to remember there was a clarification last year.

Let's get this party started. If you've never been to Rockcastle and don't recognize any of these locations, don't panic - a map will be released well before the match and the course will be marked. However, there will be no flashing neon signs, and "orienteering" (following a simple map - not actual bearings and distances) is part of the challenge. People do miss turns and get off course every single match of this kind I've seen though, sometimes adding miles to their run. Pay attention, follow the map, and follow the signs. Even when you're cold/hot/wet/muddy/frustrated/mad/happy/thrilled/exhausted/elated. That being said, here's Stage 1: Begin at the Lodge Overhang. Run to Doe Valley, go down the hill to the left, through three consecutive mud pits, and climb up inside one of the two corrugated tubes. There will be barbed wire strung over at least one of the mud pits – low enough to force you to submerge most of your gear, but high enough that you COULD hold your rifle above the water/mud if you’re careful. I highly recommend closed bolts and condoms over the muzzle as an added precaution to keep anything from obstructing your bore. Bypassing the obstacle gives you a ZERO for your entire run time. Begin Stage 1. (0.4 miles) Stage 1: Start With The Basics Location: Doe Valley Begin behind the center of the barricade. On the buzzer, load your rifle and hit an AC-zone steel target at 50 yards once from right-handed standing, once from left-handed kneeling, once from right-handed kneeling, and once from left handed standing around the appropriate sides of the barricade. Carry weighted 50 cal ammo can to the next firing position. Make 5 hits on each target from 4 different firing positions with rifle.

Yup, I ordered with one at Hardies last year and it was great! They offered me a small discount for trying it out and I threw a 'complicated' order at it just to see how accurate it was. Everything came out perfect. I would use one anytime the option presents itself.

You will more than likely go through multiple holsters and belts before you settle on one - don't feel bad about it, its always good to have extras and you can start with some "cheaper" ones to get the style you like (AIWB, OWB, SERPA, leather, clipped, etc) but definitely do not skimp out on the final choice of belt and holster. Belts are essential for weight - dependent on what gun you carry it can get heavy adding a giant phone and case, spare mags if you carry any and tear your lower back up. Some are more sensitive to weight, you end up not noticing but for work I carried a bunch of heftier stuff on my belt. Lint and sweat (especially if your swest is super briny because all you eat is salted pork and pretzels) will get into your gun - so keep it clean and lubed. Most guns are coated with something nice but constant contact will start surface rust and discoloration. Practice realistically. Dont be a mall ninja either - practice drawing and dry firing at home. At the range practice in plains clothes - tucked, untucked, jackets, suits, sweaters, offhanded, moving, etc - crawl/walk/run that out but be highly trained and discriminately lethal. Hardly anyone will notice unless you like carrying a 50rd drum magazine hanging out your gun. Dont fidget or worry - even if someone does notice for some reason its legal and they can FOAD. Tell them youre thinking of their mom/sister/grandma/wife. As far as ammo train with it - people love citing coolguy tests like how many fat chicks/phonebooks/gelatin tubs it can penetrate...first off I hope you never have to shoot someone it sucks...second you probably wont have to...third: shot placement is more important than carrying some +P+P nitro teflon coated race gun high caliber 23mm rounds. .22 will kill you just as bad as .450 BM - but whatever you choose make sure to practice. Too many times people want to carry some HST/GDs or whatever the "larry vickers said dis is kewl ma ninja" flavor of the month is and never train with it - so get comfortable as part of you never ending firearms and humility training. You can also look into shoulder holsters or even belly bands if that works for you - dont buy into hypes do what is the best for you. And as always keep yourself legally informed - where you can carry, what states honor your CCW, if the state had a law for declaring to LEOs, and applicable self defense laws Have fun. Buy smart. Train smarter.

I have used a couple different brands of ammo over the years. Back then when ammo was less costly I was using Blazer and Monarch and I ordered a bulk supply of Fiocchi FMJ 95 gr and tried a little of it and it performed very well. I 'm glad I was able to get a good stock of 380 ammo before it went through the roof. Good luck with your Bersa. Like I said I have a about 4 Bersa's and love them.

You know we need pictures with that thing on, right?

Really, those are great looking boots. I grew up in a family that had both parents working in the shoe industry...Acme and Texas Boot companys.   So have an appreciation for boots. I just can't wear them anymore...too many injuries to my right foot. I just can't bend my ankle and instep enough to get thru the throat of the boot.   And...those are some great pictures! Especially the first one, which is my favorite.

No laughs were meant to be had sir! I love boots and I would totally wear those! I once met a guy with furry boots, turns out they were pony hair (or so he said). I literally petted the boots. But the gun is pretty schnazzy too. ;)
