A few of my memories from when my son was an undergraduate recruiting assistant for Billy Napier. My son said Saban didn’t normally allow the bottom feeders to get a SEC Championship rings. This must have been special to Saban. I blurred out the last name on the ring. Those who’ve interacted with me know it. Unfortunately the G.O.A.T. wasn’t as generous with National Championship rings. I was all over that place, even in Saban’s private office. The coolest thing I saw was the old anti-gravity treadmill they used to get Mark Ingram ready for the natty. It cost a fortune at the time. Those are Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry’s Heisman Trophies. A little off topic, but my son is finishing up his PhD at Florida, and he says Napier is still a down to earth guy after all these years.

Just FYI to everyone here, I went into Opry Mills mall the other day and spotted gunbuster signs at the exit from Bass Pro into the mall itself. I have no idea how long they've been up since I go there once in a great while, but I don't remember them being there the last time I was there. Personally I don't think I would go to Opry Mills without a weapon of some sort, but you make your own decisions. Just providing some info.

You know i saw Wayne Lapierre speak 40 years ago man I bought into his crap. Talked slicker then Gavin Newsom, Just as evil. verify and double check. Half the time it's for another agenda. Great job pointing out this crap.

If it walks like a duck...

I have found the best strategy is simply forget about them. When you get the call it's like a surprise christmas.

I said those folks smelled funny. Coming on here and trying to get us to fill in their loaded questionnaire.

Alright everyone, I think I have a heart breaker on my hands. If my research is correct, this a model 1917 Commercial version. Should be so so soooo sweet. Yet, at some point, someone replaced those plain walnut stock grip with a weirdly orange plastic one. Absolutely heartbreaking. However, it is still a very rare find. From my research only around 1,000 of the "truly" commercial models remain in existence. It is easy to prove that this is a commercial vs a military refurbished by the S&W insignia being on the left side, which only the commercial had, and the fact that the finish is factory nickel not blued. As always, I am sure some of you experts in these old Smiths know more than me and can correct any mistakes I have made. I'm looking at my S&W standard catalog 4th edition on page 192-193 for my information. Serial number is 179833. Since the stocks are plastic for a tricked out rocky top look (Go big orange?) I will be asking $500 OBO since even though it is rocky top orange it is still considered a "rare find" by the standard catalog but I am willing to hear reasonable offers.

Looking to sell a Savage 110 bolt gun in .308. 21" barrel, with a choate tactical stock. Lightly used. Comes with one magazine and has a threaded barrel Looking to get $450

Dad loves finding cool little tools to give as Christmas presents to my brother and me. The one he found this year will be very helpful. How many times do you need to figure out what size a random bolt or nut is? Usually I take it to the hardware store and start trying it out until I find out what size it is. With this tool I can now figure out out pretty much any odd bolt or nut I have. It has standard and metric and different thread pitches. Pretty simple idea but it will be very useful.

I shot Contenders and Encores for years. There were no 30-06 factory Contender barrels built to my knowledge. Too much pressure. Try to fit it in the frame. Bet you a dollar it won’t fit.

I'd have to figure out a way to force Google Maps or Waze to always include a tunnel in the route. Because my inner child is twelve years old. Thompson Lane - Nashville Murfreesboro Road near the Airport - Nashville

I really wanted to believe that guy but never trusted him enough to fill out his survey. He did talk a good game.

well today was the day, I actually thought we were going down to 5137, we went to 5470 the watch stopped working just after passing 5400 feet. While this is not the 3k meters it was rated for, this is still quite impressive. At the moment the watch looks fine at depth, the second hand stopped so when we bring the Sub on deck Ill take pictures of the watch and uodate this

Not that it will stop these idiots from passing a law they know is unconstitutional, but the SCOTUS has already ruled that an infringement on ammo is the same as an infringement on firearms. Sadly, the twits that pass these laws have unlimited tax payer dollars to defend these laws in court.

Military is limited to FMJ ammo by the rules of war. Which makes sense in a combat zone. Kill an enemy soldier and you take him out of the fight. Wound an enemy soldier and you then need at least one, probably two men to care for and evacuate him. Thereby taking up to three men out of the fight. Civilian ammo is designed to do as much damage as possible with a single round to achieve a one shot stop or a clean kill on a game animal. Lots of people buy surplus military ammo because its generally pretty cheap compared to commercial ammo and many don't know the difference. So they use it for self defense or in some cases, crimes. Once again, the antis have no idea what they're talking about.

I have always had a problem seeing those gun buster signs. It's like they just fade into the background. I finally went and got my KY permit. They don't have that stupid law here. You can walk right past a sign here. All they can do is try to get you on trespassing.

The $76 for 5000 primers hits hard considering today's market. You'll pay that much for a 1000 and that's a decent deal.

Certified my new suppressor today and my Form 4 is officially submitted. Let’s see how long this takes.

For the sub-floor openings, cut sheet metal to slightly oversize of the opening. Run a bead of silicone around the edge of the hole. Your hardware dealer can reccomend something with tack to it. then self drilling screws around the edges every 4-6 inches. I can't tell if you could do the same around the trunk but if you can, use construction cement to glue it in place. (liquid nails). One option Good Luck!

Man, if this was a full size, Id have already snatched it up. GLWS!

Sold

You should check some of the welding forums maybe get some info on other welders, I can comment only on what I’m familiar with

Evening folks, I got a .25 caliber Model 950B by the good folks over at Beretta. Since it's a B it was made prior to 1968 but I am unsure exactly when. Included in the sale is the simple leather holster pictured, one magazine, and a crisp handshake. Serial number for this baby is B71452. Asking $250 OBO

Man, I do like me some old berettas. PM sent

Found a new (to me) 30-06 barrel for the pistol as well. Same price. Now with three caliber compatibility

Interested to see what @Worriedmanhas to say on this matter.

Shocker. Just like we all thought when Mr Luke tried to dupe us all.

I don't play but I can appreciate the work that goes in to those. Very nice examples....

I also have few boxes of Gold Dot and Hornady defensive hollow points if interested, would be slightly more. Also have a 100 round box of Winchester White Box 230 JRNs for 35 bucks WITH PURCHASE OF 1911

I just wish you didn’t have to send in all that paperwork again but I guess they don’t keep it on file. Hopefully it gets shredded before it hits the dumpster.

I've never heard of anybody being charged either.

Thanks for the review. I've been using a Labradar myself but it can be a little finicky to get it working (direction and elevation of the beam, getting the bullet offset set up correctly, getting the muzzle in the right position to pick up the report without hitting it with muzzle blast, etc). If something ever happens to it I will seriously consider getting one of these.

The duct opening is normal, maybe a bit larger than needed, but all foundation openings are bigger than the trunk lines going through them. You should NOT be seeing daylight through there. It should fit snug against both the wall and the HVAC and should be sealed with silicone. Check that the sides go down into the dirt so there's no way for critters to get in unless they tunnel under the metal shroud. If not, pack some soil up against the bottom and put some gravel over it to help minimize erosion. For the plumbing holes, take a piece of cardboard down there and cut a template for each side. Then transfer the pattern to a piece of plywood. A couple of screws up into the OSB above and a short 1x1 screwed into the joist to support the "inside" edge will do it. Run a bead of silicone or caulk around the edges and call it a day. Easy to remove if you or a plumber ever need access to those fittings in the future. Put some silicone around those copper pipes going through the OSB too.

If you can’t find a class to attend. Maybe get a book and watch u tube. Or better yet find someone close and see if they’ll get you started. If you just want to put a couple pieces of metal together just get a Lincoln buzz box. They run on 220 volts and will run about any size rod you want. Down side it’s AC only. Not as nice as a DC machine but will do anything you want with smaw. And for only a couple hundred dollars. I used to say it only takes 30 minutes to learn how to weld but about 50 years to get good at it. Lol I gave up after 45 years in the industry. Good luck a burn a lot of rods.

Good evening everyone. What we have here (aside from a failure to communicate) is a S&W mod 36 (S&W .38 Special) made between 1962 and 1966. Round butt original wooden grip. Flat latch, serrated front sight, checkered hammer, grooved trigger, blued finish, 2” pinned barrel. All the goodness. Serial number 415103. You can read more about it on page 242 of the S&W Standard Catalog 4th edition. Only indication of wear is at base of front sight, and a small blemish in the metal on the right side near the screw. Asking $550 but willing to hear reasonable offers.

Military grade, LMFHO, civilian ammo is much more accurate and more effective. FMJ is not in my EDC or SHTF stash for a reason. Most military ammo just needs to be 3 or 4 MOA, whereas target or hunting rounds try and achieve at least 1 MOA, most sub MOA, and they are designed to DRT your target.

I bought a $300 Yeswelder on Amazon. It's MIG or Flux-core, 220V only. No, it sure isn't a Lincoln, but for a guy like me who occasionally welds a project it seemed like the ticket. But be aware that you're going to pay $300 for a bottle of gas, too. And if you want to weld aluminum then you'll need another bottle of gas. And you'll need a cart, too. But that's true of any welder you buy. Edit: I almost forgot that I had to run a new 50A service as well. $7.80 a foot for the wire. So even the cheap welders aren't cheap.

Just some eye candy to make monkeylizard jealous while he waits...

For the first 20 years my resume looked like the Yellow Pages--newspaper writing, ad agency, hot-shot delivery and other odd jobs. When the wife found me, I was a scumbag scuba diving instructor. A couple of years later the Lord found me and eventually brought me into airline maintenance and then training mechanics. I retired off that after 16 years and now live comfortably with my retired nurse/wife. Yes, you can switch careers in later life, but I recommend doing so with Divine approval.

I have red dots on all my pistols now. I use 6 moa on all of them zeroed at 10 yards. If you think about MOA, a 6 MOA dot will cover 6" at 100 yds or roughly the size of an average face. It decrease to 3" at 50, 1.5" at 25, and so on. So it is plenty big for use in a defensive situation and still small enough to use with some accuracy. In fact, I find it easier to use at range vs. a smaller dot as it is easier to track in the window in recoil. As for brands, unfortunately the Chi-commers are leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else in regards to features at price points that make them very hard to argue with. I have used RMRs, Leupold DPP, Sig Romeos, and have settled on Holosun EPS/EPSc and the SCS if you have a Glock MOS. I've never had any issues out of my Holosuns like I did out of the aforementioned brands.
