I have been wanting a nice O/U for a while. I sold some guns and saved my pennies and bought this Zoli. Took her out and shot some sporting clays today.

Sounds like DLM is doing fine. I have been thinking about him lately anyway. I'll give him a call next week.

The only thing I find surprising is that somebody actually made a big deal out of this and people are getting arrested. Its no news that everything in this country can be bought by those who can meet the price. Frankly, I'm really not that interested. Much ado about nothing to me.

Eliminators were made in 1969 and 1970. By the VIN this '68 Cougar was originally a 302-4v car. The "Torino" is actually a Fairlane, but from the VIN does appear to have been a factory 428 car, if it truly is a matching numbers car it will probably (depending on condition) bring some decent money. I don't know enough about Pontiacs to comment on the Gran Prix. From what I can see in the listing, most of these cars have been either mildly, or in some cases extensively modified from stock. Except in rare cases, modified cars don't bring the same money as highly optioned original cars in good condition. There does appear to be some nice looking cars in this auction, but the lack of presentation in the online listings makes the overall condition difficult to ascertain, and the location of the auction is questionable at best if the owner is looking for top dollar on these cars. Having said that, it's still an interesting auction and I'm looking forward to how it turns out. Thanks to grenintenn for linking this ...

The SCOTUS will never uphold this ruling. However, the anti-gunners can bankrupt these companies with legal costs. If this isn’t stopped now; they will all be in trouble.

It’s the same fuzzy headed logic isn’t it. Truly mind boggling!

Does this mean that if a person gets killed in a car accident that was 100% driver error the family of the deceased can sue the auto maker?

No.....but it makes the wife a bit easier to live with. I seriously doubt I'll buy a car, but have been to a few auctions where you just couldn't pass one up. I doubt this will be one, but a fellow has to be prepared for that slim possibility. Funny thing is that I do own some guns that are worth more than the truck I drive. It ain't that I have real expensive guns. Years ago, I learned that driving a classic car was actually a very economical mode of transportation. You can buy one, drive it til you get tired of it, and sell it for a profit. I'm still working on convincing my wife of this.

I’ve not talked to him lately, but I’ll reach out to him.

bigun asked today how this project was coming along so I thought I'd share with you guys. It's actually coming out better than I was expecting.

I think they already stopped selling guns but not necessarily by their own choice.

I saw a bag of this at the grocery store last week. Never heard of it. I bought a bag and fried it. Surprise! It is among the best fish I've ever eaten. I'd rank it right up there with Red Snapper and Crappie. I will go back and stock my freezer with it. If you haven't tried it, I'd suggest you do.

Sue the fork and spoon manufacturers over all the obese people that got that way because of their forks and spoons!! It makes the same amount of sense. It is never the person that uses the weapon, but it is always the weapon If it is a gun, if it is a 6,000 lb. pickup truck then there is no foul. I hate to tell them, the little idiot Adam Lanza stole the gun from his mother, so how does Bushmaster become the bad guy?? Put the blame on the murderer not the murder weapon. It is just an inanimate object.

No punch carts directly for me, but I did Fortran and Assembly Language (Binary). I think Paschal was the worst for me. I kept missing commas that were the line break characters. I did all this as electives in my business major because I saw computers as a big part if the future. I toyed around with friends that were on BBSs in the early 90s, got on the internet in college just after that. Saw eBay gets its start, signed up on PayPal when you still got referal bonuses to get friends to join, and build web pages in notepad before all the flash and other addons. I love the information we can access,and the ease of shopping but I really don't like social media. I actually remember telling a buddy way back when the internet was mainly academic that I bet it would not be a year before it was filled with porn. I was not far off. I did not envision the crushing weight that is internet advertising though. You can't go on a page without tons of ads showing up. Some days I am not so sure that turning it all off would be a bad thing.

No idea. Probably Vietnam. I don't care if they raise it in radio active sludge. It is delicious!

As Remington already is bankrupt the strategy is quite clear.

The .308 Pro Hunter is a beast. Much more recoil then either of my 2 BFR's. One in .45-70, and the other in .500 S&W Magnum. And I've put hundreds of rounds downrange with all three.

Cars are inanimate objects that need to be started & operated by someone, guns on the other hand........

I "gave blood" several years ago when I shot a short barreled 45-70 from a rest.

I shot a Contender with a 14" .357 Herrett barrel on and it was a handful. It had wood grips that felt like getting hit with a hammer.

Or a kid's fort. That would make for a sweet dang playhouse. Construction season is coming again... Might have to wire it for satellite.

If you want to decrease the reliability of any Glock, put a bunch of aftermarket parts in it.

I am dreading the first ding I put on it.

Some of the bribes were sent in through a phony charity. Then they deducted the charitable donation on their taxes. That is going to cause them more problems than the bribe and could be why the bond was so high.

Welcome to TGO. Make yourself at home.

I found that to be a rather large bond as well.

Congratulations on picking up a beautiful shotgun! Given a recent thread, I gotta ask: Is it 4 wheel drive?

If you really want a .308 T/C pistol then Encore is your option. If you want to maximize your G1 or G2 frames then my suggestion is Bullberry Barrel Works. Click Here: Bullberry Here's a video of a guy shooting an Encore in .308, I think it's fairly lame recoil compared to my 45-70 Gubment barreled G1 T/C.

Update ... Last weekend I did a bit of shooting/testing with the aforementioned PSA upper. I shot 200 rounds of the ammo mentioned above. That ammo has 1260 FPS listed right on the box. 15 rounds over the chronograph ... drop high and low ... average of the remaining 13 ... 1270 FPS. The chrony was 13' out from the muzzle, so I added 10 FPS and plugged 1280 into ballistic software. 25 yard zero. 12oz soda at 172 yards. 12.4 MOA up .... 1st shot hit. New scope/mount ordered. I'm anxious to see what it can do at even longer range! Still very pleased.

No lost to me. I stopped shopping with them when they went anti 2a.

Welcome to club. Good group here.

Welcome to TGO! Glad to have you aboard.

Every time I see this thread title I read it as 2 questions. Q1. What is the the approximate wait time? Answer: Depends Q2. What is the actual wait time? Answer: Varies

G1 and G2 are interchangeable with the exception of the Herrett barrels. Encore barrels fit Encore frames. The info above was gathered from the T/C website in a brief read so take it for what it’s worth. Here’s a link T/C Arms

I hope that is only intended as a parade float. Lol. Those wheels....

He is a Facebook friend. Last posted on his birthday on 2-7. He never was real active. I'll ask Gordon.

The rich and famous using their money and position to get benefits not available to the rest of us? Say it ain't so!

After looking closer at these bullets, could probably cast them in hard lead and set up in a indexer or rotrary table on a milling machine and using a small ball end mill produce a few of them pretty easily, powder coat after maching them, another project maybe. According to their web site the civilian defense loads are loaded to not penetrate Kelvar law enforcement vests. Can't tell from the pictures if they are solid copper or just copper plated. Wonder how those notches would work on lead wad cutters? No end to the experimenting that can be done on boolits.

Thanks for the welcome. Hipower, you could probably see the entire town from your room lol. Camp, according to my wife you can never have too much cast iron.

Right. Sure. Yeah, that's it.

Thanks for the input. I went with the 75B Omega. After I pick it up and check it out I'll decide on the grips, sights, springs and such.

my experience has been they are overall good but they do have their slip ups from time to time....I would highly suggest trying a different brand if you can find one for cheap just to rule that out.... S&W's are usually pretty much GTG in my experience.

Finally found a Python in what I consider good shape and I could afford. I've been on the Python search for quite some time now. Most of them I'd want to take home must have gold screws! Sorry for the lousy pics.

I find myself not voting for anyone but voting against someone.

Next time the Dems hit the triple in DC, it's coming everywhere. - OS

Isn't the constitutional right that she is referring to the 2nd amendment? Isn't that why we have the 2nd?

I didn't say it was a decent price... OK, I thought it was a good price for this quality weapon. They had a nicer one with the matching box; I don't think it had ever been shot. I wanted a nice one but something I was willing to shoot!

I have to agree with this as well. I'll show you my permit, and I'll sign a bill of sale, but no one is getting a photo of my permit or my DL. Sorry.

I've just moved back home after having lived in TX for the past 16 years. With rifle season opening last weekend, I decided to go and purchase a new rifle to hunt with. After finding the gun I wanted and filling out the background check, it came back denied. I was in utter shock and frustrated as to why this was happening. I do have a class B misdemeanor, but its for a check that bounced and I neglected to take care of in 2005. That has long since been taken care of, and I received a deferred adjudication on the charge. The store owner said that sometimes the TBI will randomly pick buyers to go to a supervisor for approval and that this might be the case, to give it a day or so and more than likely they would reverse the denial. The store is closed Sun. & Mon. So this morning I called expecting to hear good news. To the contrary, I was told that they had not reversed the denial and that I was going to have to appeal the denial. I've purchased several firearms in TX, without incident, and am just blown away as to why doing so in TN is being so problematic. Just curious if anyone else has had similar experience, and what the outcome was. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Interestingly, citizens do not have the right to vote for President and Vice President. Article 2, Section 1 says that the states will appoint Electors, the same number as the total of the state's Senators and Representatives. Then Ammendment 12 says those Electors choose the President and VP. It's really left up to each indivual state to decide how they select Electors. It just so happens that all of the states use popular votes of the Citizens. If a state wanted to, it could appoint Electors any way they choose, such as allowing the Governor to appoint them, or holding a vote by people who's first name is Joe, or whatever hair-brained idea they could come up with. Of course, the Citizens do elect other officials. If a state came up with a crazy method of selecting Electors, whoever came up with and approved the ide would be elected out. However, the 17th Ammendment specifially says the People will elect Senators. Now, think about this.. If I'm a lazy bum and would rather sit at home collecting welfare than go to work each day, who am I going to vote for? Obviously the person that will protect my government paycheck. I have not paid any taxes that fund welfare, every other hard working citizen has. Why should I get to have a vote in picking out the person who decides how that money is spent?
