This is just my personal feelings {RANT}    Every where you turn today, the TV, the Radio, The newspaper all have a "TOP STORY"  on PRINCE or some other ass clown that died, from committing suicide or drug overdose. Who really gives a flying F**K..... There are men and women fighting for our freedom and our civil liberties dying everyday. There are close to 20 veterans committing suicide everyday due to PTSD. BUT you don't read about that in newsprint or on the tv news. It personality makes me sick knowing that my two sons and countless other men and women that are risking their lives for a country that could care less for them and more about about someone like "Prince"

The Blue Book is worthless now! That gun would bring more than $700 on gunbroker.

My first visit to Royal Range.  Very, VERY Nice facilities and the TAP folks run a well organized match!  :up:      However......   Thursday Night turned out to be the most expensive IDPA match that I have ever shot - - - Well that is the aftermath of the match.   My Delta Elite kept choking on my old Chip McCormick shooting star mags.  Its astonishing how things can be just fine during range testing and then crap out once the timer goes off.  I had to clear a malfunction on three out of four stages!  :yuck:      So I Fixed That SH*T - - - Ordered so many Wilson Combat 10mm mags from Brownells that they are now showing them as Out-Of-Stock!  :dirty:          

I zero to the right barrel and let the left fall where it will... Usually an inch to the left. 9 times out of 10 you won't need the second barrel if you make a good first shot so I focus on that. The quick follow up is the main reason for a double, but reliability is another. Each barrel has it's own firing mechanism completely independent of the other.... if one fails the other is ready to go. When you hunt things that hunt back, that can be pretty important.

keep it classy TGO

I found the company on Facebook. Out of Louisiana. They make guess what.....? Waders. Of all things.

For me my older S&W and Colt Revolvers are priceless. As stated already you can throw the book away on them. It comes down to what you are willing and can afford to pay. I have a few guns that public opinion would say I paid too much. But, they are hard to find, I found them, and had the means to pay the price. For some reason my brother and I got into collecting rifles and pistols manufactured in 1965 the year I was born, and 1970 the year he was born. It has been fun for us to hunt for each other. The conversations it has opened up between us has made some of our finds priceless just from the journey. I hope you get this beautiful gun for your collection.

I think is sad that anyone dies in unusual circumstances. I think it's a tragedy when a soldier dies in the service to his country and so few notice. Veterans day means something! We don't know the names of all the soldiers that die, or are wounded in the service to our country but I think of them whenever I see a solider, a monument, or our flag. Sadly prince or other celebrity figures die, but regardless of how influential that have been their life isn't worth more celebration, or memory that any others. The news don't discuss the statistics of KIA, WIA, MIA, or the plight of our Veterans because they don't get to listen to their favorite song, or reminisce about them. It's selfish and sad. There is a bigger fight to fight and we're in it now. We can change the direction of our political future for better or worse in November. When you vote think of those VOLUNTEER soldiers and what they thought about as they took the oath.

Ron ......they don't want to hear an ole farts tricks.......think of all the seconds there  saving...and there beating you to the next light. :confused:

This tweet sums up why folks react the way they do to the passing of a Prince, or a Bowie, or a Lemmy.

Eveybody dies but we should remember those who earned our respect from doing not just being.

I usually hunt Soutern Africa, so it's usually "Nkosi" instead of bwana. Nkosi is Zulu (or possibly Xhosa.. not sure). Bwana is Swahili and would be used further up the coast in Eastern Africa. Yes, I know... I'm a pedantic jackass.

  I believe he's certainly pro-Trump.   - OS

The quantity of my admiration is only surpassed by the rigidity of my tumescence. That's one of THE most beautiful doubles I've ever seen!

I've decided upon a new way to enjoy the show- i'n rooting for the zombies

That is a truly amazing weapon!

Ok after some research I have found the owner owner on Facebook. It happened in December. Just Just a dumb mistake. It went down the ramp when the water was up just enough to wash it down. He said insurance did replace it so they own it now. He said at the time that the fire/rescue said they would just leave it in the river as is for training soon. I am going to try to see if I can make a deal afterwards to remove it. The insurance company I'm sure would rather let someone have it to move than pay to have it recovered. I have the equipment to get it out of there. Oh and the Keychain is some sort of bit from a drilling rig that he worked on and I am going to meet him soon to give it to him. He had just over here from Louisiana when it happened and lives in Spring Hill now. He said it had 40,000 miles on it.

I have it, love it.  Pay once and be done with it.  No more restaining, no more splinters.  Only downside and it's not huge, composite boards hold in the heat and feel like the surface of the sun in the Summer.  

It looks like the forward band would prevent too much stress on the crack. If it was me I would carefully reassemble the stock looking for any stress points that might contribute to it growing particularly any twist. Relieve any stress if possible working only on hidden surfaces. Then I'd measure the crack length as precisely as possible. To keep an eye on any growth. If you wanted to renforce it use a piece of fine paper or thin 100% cotton cloth soaked in WHITE GLUE as this is reversible with just a bit of water. (Not enough to swell the stock)

That's simply gorgeous. You answered the question I had regarding the sight in process, but I had one more. Do you need a hunting buddy?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like you have that thing mastered......lookin' good.

Sent you a pm.

Try a "ring" brand stickup video camera with a wifi repeater/ extender. Works great. The motion detection feature will let u know when someone is coming on your cell phone when you're anywhere.

I have to admit I had to look up the definition of pedantic... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

This is my first NFA item so I went all out. This is my .458 SOCOM SBR I call "Red Death."

You're going to need to inject some glue I to the crack for it to hold. You probably need to wipe the wood down or soak it with lacquer thinner or other degreaser solvent first. I like gorilla glue.

I figured $500 was the bottom of what this would be worth from what I saw online. This belonged to a late uncle, his daughter / my cousin owns it now and she knows I want it. She has talked on and off about selling it for a few years. Because of some family health issues and travel that is required it was given to me for safe keeping. I am extremely close to this side of the family so there is an emotional attachment for me. Now that it is in my safe I intend to keep it here!

Slow down folks.....some day you'll look around and if your lucky you'll be 80.  And trust me you'll wish you could have made the trip slower!

Buy it or tell us where the hell it's at! :wall: :rofl:

  Please accept my most sincere condolences.  Words seem insufficient at times like this, but know that your friends on TGO grieve with you.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Another brain washed libtard.

Wow, I'm speechless ! That's the most beautiful rifle I've ever seen!!

  No, I was tired of him by 1985.   I'm just as tired of the media circus as anyone else.  But his death isn't the issue, the issue is lack of coverage for real heroes by a media that considers soldiers to be war criminals and has done so off and on since Vietnam.     I guess, just remember that "news" is "business".   They exist to make money, and they do that by selling advertising, and they do that by hooking people into watching/reading/listening, and they do THAT by covering whatever the low information idiot will click the most.   What do you think sells more clicks, the death of a superstar or the suicide of an never-before-heard-of ex soldier ?    Its circular... as long as the un-washed masses want their news to be entertainment, that is what we will get.

This time of year it's not uncommon for a female to stick close to a den. I've had farmers tell me that they were able to drive right up to the dens and the female would not leave. Not rabid just protective.

He did give a LOT to charity...most of the time asking not to be named. Saw this on t.v. today. I have 2 sons, one in rotc and the other aspiring to an academy. So I can see both sides. But he has done more than most to help humanity. Sent from my SCH-i705 using Tapatalk

the Illuminati was not allowing any to examine Scalia.  Everyone knows that.   As for the Chelsea,  I wish her mother would die in a fire.

  I've said on this forum that I would vote for Hillary if Trump is the Republican nominee.  I have come to realize that the president of the US doesn't have enough power to really move us toward becoming a Facist country.   I also suspect that Trump doesn't buy in to the hate speech he has used - that he's said it to get elected.   In light of that, along with being pretty close to a single issue voter with the Second Amendment, I have changed my thinking.     Between Trump, Cruz and Hillary, I now like Trump best, Cruz next and then Hillary.   It's too bad that we don't have better folks to choose from.  I believe that Hillary is dishonest to the very core of her essence.

That might just be the greatest interwebz post of all time.

  I know without a doubt that both Billy and Hillary are pro-Clinton.

I have said it for years that "we" will do things out of spite like refuse to vote and now threaten to vote for Hillary if their chosen candidate isn't the nominee. People like that are not friends of the gun community or even a conservative. I HATE Trump and would prefer Cruz but I will not do ANYTHING to help Hillary get into office because she is worse for me, and the country, than Trump ever will be. Some do not realize that or do not care about the ramifications.

I like his story.... A hand up instead of a handout.

I drive to the OK Corral now. I refuse to pay the price to shoot at the indoor range plus buy their ammo. I like being able to draw from my holster and shoot my pistol.

They're way too expensive to begin with. I never go there anymore for any reason.

There's only one real solution here.....take it back and buy a Toyota  :taunt:  :hiding:  :whistle:

Thanks!     lol

Be careful of any animal which is acting unnatural, may be rabid.

And bought it 3 seconds later lol

Action is pretty smooth, trigger could stand to lose a pound or two on the pull so I guess next on the list is to have that worked over. Really like these new frames over the previous model, they were able to lighten the thing up to 27 ounces (almost 9 ounces lighter than the first model)
