I can’t believe grown men are on a gun forum discussing the wearing of masks. Man up and live your lives, guys.

You should have followed the advice given to dial it back a bit. It was good advice. Come back in a couple days when hopefully you’ve heeded that advice.

I re-read my answer and sticking to it. The February issue of the Rangemaster Newsletter speaks to the use of lethal force. Can, may, should, must. Tom also highlights through the inclusion of this content, as an instructor, I am not a legal expert and to be cautious and aware when having these conversations with students and others.

The murderer fired the first several shots at the ground or in the air. And they still were hurling insults at him. The woman pulled out her phone and said she had it on camera. This had been a long ongoing feud but the fact that the folks just really could not grasp that he was for real and their lives were in danger boggles the mind. The couple did not deserve to die like that, but the story is coming out from the neighbors say that they were not innocent players in all of this. You never know who you’re dealing with and you never know when that psycho switch is going to flip. You just can’t go around pushing people because sometimes you find that you end up dead. ETA: This all relates to some of the recent road rage discussions we’ve had.

Just a heads up and most should know this, but Palmetto state armory has Magpul P-mags for $12.30 and free shipping if you buy 5+. I don't want to hear anyone saying in 6 months or 6 years that nobody alerted them to this fact. You can also buy aluminum mags for $11.99. Simple if you snooze you lose.

Picked her up on here a couple of months back looking like this.... I picked up a bargain priced 1896 small ring stock on ebay (i'd love to say I did it with the intention of modifying the inletting, but honestly i'd had a couple of bourbons & screwed up....) It arrived yesterday & i set to work the gouges, chisels & rasps. Now she looks like this: I have the bolt with an old guy in Wisconsin getting the super short knob replaced with a traditional, butterknife handle. Once that's back it's going to Terry Walden to have scope mounts fitted. This has been a super simple-ish, classy, cheap project & the ol' gal is going to end up being my antelope, deer & coyote go to.

The point of the mask is to stop YOUR droplets from escaping.

You absolutely should have, we're all glad you did. You don't have to bear this burden alone, everyone needs help sometimes.

You are a hero in my eyes for taking on such a challenge. I wish I had your bravery and strength, but sadly I do not.

The style of stock & checkering is a real sweet combo on that rifle. Looks like one of those that you just want to pick up and play with it for a few minutes. Hope the spoon handle turns out nice. I made a couple up from hot forging the original, adding some weld to the end and then pear shaping the spoon. This was the last one I did about 9 years ago. Adds a really nice touch!

The proper approach to this question and others like it isn’t “what can I do?” It should always be “what must I do?” Whether in your home or elsewhere. So the question isn’t “can I shoot this person,” the question is “must I shoot this person to defend my life, or the lives of others from imminent harm.” If that’s your operating position, I think the odds of you actually being in a position to shoot anybody are pretty damn low, and facing legal trouble over the shoot well below that.

That’s a bit more than scary.

Same here. Eyes aren't replaceable yet.

I had a particularly paranoid client this past week who required I wear two masks for my inspection. So I put a cloth mask over a N95 mask. First time wearing any mask that my glasses didn't fog up.

Yeah, Greg I hear you. I have to wear them all the time at work. Along with safety glasses. It sucks.

If I figure out a way to get away long enough I’ll let you know.

When I'm scalping this after I win it, I hope it's worth a whole lot more than that ...

You were special before you had co-morbidities

I've got a lot of respect for you brother. Bless you.

Built off the alloy J frame 2004-2006. Its brother is the 431pd (hammered model) also in 32 h&r magnum. It IS a cataloged model despite what the shop told you and there was no "one" distributor, at least to my knowledge. I had them both at one time. Stout little backup or pocket carry. Im fairly certain they have not reintroduced this model but have no information to prove that. Hope that helps

Since 2016 with ATF's introduction of 41F, a trust does not have the benefit it did previously. I have a NFA trust. Since 2016 and the "Responsible Persons" credentialing addition added to a trust, my subsequent NFA stamps have been done as an individual. Here's a great video explaining the change that took place in 2016 and why a trust is no longer the benefit it used to be.

This is just an FYI, read it this morning on my phone news.Now there are several people that have had Covid-19 and months later re-infected. Also so you know the vaccine does not keep you from getting it.

Does it bother anyone else the way reporters throw around the term “decorated” when talking about service awards that pretty much everyone gets as long as they don’t mess up? This video is an eye opener on many levels.

Unfortunately everyone has a breaking point. I suspect he had more than annoying neighbors on his plate.

I've tried all kinds of masks with and without the metal band and my glasses fog up with all of them. None will stay up either. I think my whiskers pull them down. I pull it up when I think I need to but I will pull it down when I need to see where I'm going or what I'm doing. I wear one at work (for three more weeks and I'm done!) and when I go into a store but they just don't seem to work very well for me, I'm really looking forward to not having to wear one very often.

Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it! A couple of good friends have possibly found what I need & are going to mail them to me.

Nice. The auto version price is creeping up there...

Ok. So I will sell 4000 rounds to the TGO @ $0.30 to buy the AR. 3000 rounds at $0.80 to the general public to make $2400 for taxes now I have a decent AR and 7000 rounds of 5.56 NATO for no out of pocket expense. Plus hopefully some happy TGOers who got some inexpensive ammo.

I've been at "50% complete" for years. I don't chose to answer the questions required to be "100% Complete". Everything works fine for me.

If you have or see a Memphis Baptist Medical Systems affilated Doctor simply go open your "My Chart Account" and make an appointment. Pretty Simple process.

You should be good, if you paid for the membership. My screen still says 50% complete too. Never bothered. If you're still having troubles, there is a support forum you can post in and the mods will get back pronto.

That was horrifying.

I’ve been expecting this headline for years. It’s unfortunate that a young man lost his life, but this is a YT genre that needs to die. Shame that someone else had to first.

I don't have family. I have work & I have this. I already put in 15 hours a day at work......

It's disheartening, but unfortunately it looks to me the "New Norm", at least for the time being. Sad indeed. Thanks for posting the various links @The Legion. Like @RED333 posted. Even though the price is high it disappears quickly. It makes me appreciate what I have and at the same time feel bad for those that find themselves unprepared.

Just my $0.02, sounds like you have spent a LOT of time trying to find the screw, what could you have done with this spent time working on other things. My time is very valuable to me and my family, stop spending time trying to save a few dollars when you can spend the time with your family. After all you have found the screw.

I've been able to find some odd-ball screws and bolts at Ace Hardware. They've had stuff when nobody else did.

If McMaster-Carr doesn’t have it, I’d stop looking and just spring for the one from Winchester.

I had typed out a response on this thread a few days ago, and before hitting that submit button the thought "I don't want to go on record saying that" went through my head, and I hit the back button instead.

Placed my first order for seeds yesterday for my 2021 garden. 30 days to receive.... Wowzers.

I would add to chip's advice to try not and put yourself in a position to shoot at a dark figure. A flashlight may save a loved one, a drunk college kid or neighbor....and a lot of regret. Both a handheld as well as a weapon mounted light are good investments.

In Tennessee, people can justifiably use deadly force to defend themselves or others if they believe there is an imminent threat of death or serious injury. There is no duty to retreat from your home. Do you believe the intruder in your home poses a threat of death of serious injury? Then you are legally justified in using deadly force to prevent that death or injury. You cannot use deadly force to prevent the intruder from walking out the door with your 4K UHD television.

I guess I made a mistake selling a little over 3k rounds to a forum member for .06 a round last week and today. (Not a mistake) I had extra and they wanted to shoot their .22s. I just can’t bring myself to sell my extra on gunbroker for stupid prices.

So...free bacon for all benefactors?

I ain’t seen a hog that big laid out like that since one night when I got really drunk and....well never mind. We don’t need to go into that story. Congtats!

VZ makes a wide variety of revolver grips if you like G10.

Thank you all. You all are too kind. This is
