  1. Should have known it was a bad idea, but I guarantee I will regain respect after this followup idea!   A few weeks ago I saw this:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kZGTOLBvek   Perhaps we could take this design, modify it so that it works with any standard belt (or optionally MOLLE webbing with an added accessory), and then whenever you draw your weapon from your holster, it automatically deploys your sash across your torso!   Foolproof!   Version 2.0 could also auto-deploy anytime it detects that shots are fired.   Version 3.0 could auto-integrate with the new smart-guns that are going to be introduced.   Something tells me we won't make it to Version 4.0.
  2.   Sold. Swapped that up on the list and added the Hornady Conversion.
  3. I just had this great idea. Shouldn't we have a special TGO HCP badge made so that we can all identify ourselves to each other whenever we get into firefights?   Not only will it identify that we are the good guys, but it will also identify that we are on the same team.                                                                                         :popcorn: Team TGO!
  4.   So you are suggesting to go with the Lee Classic turret for under $100, get the "conversion" by Hornady, and then buy Hornady bushings? Hornady bushings are seemingly quite a bit cheaper. Any other specific reasons you like them?
  5.     That's the one I found.
  6.   And I (mostly) took that list and turned it into an Amazon wish list! Something I am trying to figure out though. In that list you mentioned "Hornady Lock-N-Load Press and Die Conversion Bushing Kit". Do I need that if I go with the Classic Breech? I understand that it's for converting non "breech" into "breechlike".
  7.   I'm not necessarily about quantity but quality. A single stage is what I want to start with and will always be able to use it for something. I'm just getting into reloading so I don't feel guilty about shooting. I might reload 25 or 50 rounds an evening every night of the week. Every two weeks I might go shooting. That way I can shoot 500 rounds a month and not feel bad about spending hundreds of bucks doing so. Unfortunately, right now I'm shooting about 0 rounds a month.   a loading block so you don't spill the cases with power in them. Case lube for rifle brass sizing. Been recommended to try lanolin oil dissolved into Isopropyl alcohol. Case lube is cheap though, so why not? Die's for each of the cals you want to reload. Lee vs. RCBS. I'm thinking Lee but would like both sides. A 6" harbor freight digitial electronic caliper. $9.50 when not on sale. $9.50 is cheaper than Hornady but will research price vs. quality I'd suggest a 6" hf dial face caliper from them at $6.50 each. The battery on the electronic will go dead when you need it and the dial face is simple to read. I like this idea; Manual backups for everything! I'd also suggest you think about purchasing an RCBS Model 750 powder scale. Very accurate and they last forever. Possibly in the future, but I don't think I'll start with one.   Also, 5.56x45mm is black rifle ammo, not commie rifle ammo. You're thinking of 5.45x39mm for the AK-74.
  8. So, I've edited this first thread because I "made" my list and purchased it. I now own:   Lee Classic Cast Lee Universal Decapping Die MTM Universal Reloading Tray Lee Deluxe Carbide 4-Die Set 9mm Luger Frankford Arsenal Electronic Caliper Hornady Lock-N-Load Conversion Lyman Electronic Scale Powder Funnel Pan Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Electronic Scale Lee Perfect Powder Measure Now, I'm just getting started on reloading and will continually update this thread as I attempt to pickup reloading as a serious skill/hobby.
  9.   Well..they sorta have that too.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVNZqL642fY
  10.   That would be "Smart Gun" feature 2.0 After implementing and requiring gun smart features, instead of posting signs on doors businesses would also pay the "smart gun" companies to install devices in buildings that would disable "smart guns" based upon RFID technology, geofencing, radio frequency, etc. Carry your smart gun into a restaurant that doesn't allow carry? Don't worry, you are safe because they disable all the guns (except the black market "dumb guns" and of course those of LEO's whom are all trustworthy).   An alternate future shows that instead of doing what I've shown above, perhaps in order for the gun to fire you have to be wearing your "tag" if you will but also be within range of an acceptable "use" tag. Examples of acceptable "use" tags would be at a shooting range, on a reserved hunting area, etc. Then your firearm would only fire within specific areas. For a lot of money you could have a tag installed in your home so you could use it for self defense, but only after you go through lots of classes and training. For the extremely privileged, you could have a "use" tag installed in your wallet so you could carry.   Just my pondering but also all possible with existing technology. It would only need to be implemented. Of course criminals could easily circumvent it all, but possible if the legislature and research simply pushed it. I think I will write a book on it. Quite scary stuff.
  11. Well...what sort of people are these guys?
  12. I have such an itch to replace my G19 with a S&W M&P9 and my G26 with a S&W M&P9c. However, I have not done so yet because I fear I'll regret it and then wish I had both of them back. Considering purchasing a M&P9c to try it out and then I can always sale it if I don't like it...right?   Right guys?
  13.   This was my email. Not for anyone to copy and paste, but rather to perhaps inspire someone with what to write. Do it now!
  14. [quote name="broox" post="1109460" timestamp="1392163828"]I thought he was best in Bruce Almighty[/quote] That was ok, but he was even better in The Pursuit of Happiness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15.   Yeah, I figured out after posting that I should have read it thread by thread;)
  16. According to LifeHacker:   Mohu Leaf Clearstream 2 RCA ANT1050 Terk HDTVa Winegard Flatwave I myself have considered picking up that Mohu, it seems pretty neat and may do so sometime. If I do, I will definitely post my experience here. However, I also read the following rumor and have yet to try it even though I am extremely interested.   Theoretically you can pick up some channels by hooking your TV up to your cable line even if you don't have cable. I pay for Charter thus have an active cable connection. Supposedly if I hook the TV up to the cable line I may be able to pickup some local channels for free. Anyone tried this before?
  17.   Epic example of epic fail. He brought back this "dead" thread because the gun was stolen.
  18. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/02/06/pop-tart-gun-bill/5254629/   Legislature in Florida to bring some common sense back into our schools. It's being called the "Pop-Tart Gun Bill". It protects students that chew there Pop-Tarts into the shapes of guns and the like.
  19.   I could be mistaken about this...but I do believe something about some Mosin's being imported "as pistols" specifically for this purpose. Meaning that they were modified before coming into the United States (and thus, before ATF even knew about them).   I think you are right about doing it yourself though.
  20.   Obama? I don't know...I haven't checked in a while.
  21.   Yep, and had it passed last year then it would have been enacted  July 1, 2013. However, it did not pass. Therefore, absolutely nothing took place. You could write up crazy bill with your Representative and have him file it. Then, anyone could read that bill could do so by going to http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/108/Bill/Proposed-Bill-Number-Here. Perhaps this is an example of HB0582:   As enacted, it will be illegal for TGO user TheButterSponge to place butter on sponges on any day of the week that doesn't end in z. This act shall take effect July 1, 2015.   Some Representative drafted that and stuck in with all the other proposed bills. Without sponsors and going before applicable committees (The Breakfast Club, International House of Pancakes, etc) and then being passed by both the Tennessee House and Tennessee Senate, and then being signed into law by the Governor of Tennessee, TheButterSponge can put as much butter on sponges on any day of the week that he wants to. However, if that bill were passed (House/Senate) and signed (Governor), then it would take place July 1, 2015. But up until that point you can do whatever you want.   Bill = Proposed Law   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyeJ55o3El0
  22. Just about everyday I check Amazon's "Lightning Deals". Those can be seen here everyday.   I noticed that, later today starting at 12:30 PM EST, the G-Shock that I purchased is going to be on there. I paid $81.72. It is currently at $86.78. CamelCamelCamel says that the lowest Amazon has sold it for is $63.22.   If the GW-6900 breaks below $63.22, it is a definite buy for anyone looking for a quality G-Shock with solar and atomic capabilities. I've had mine since November. Not once has it shown to be on the "medium" battery level; It has always shown "high". You all know how much sunny weather we have had since November, and to top it off I spend 8 hours in an office everyday with fluorescent lighting.   GW-6900   EDIT:   At 4:30 PM EST the AWGM100-1ACR also goes on sale as a lightening deal.
  23. [quote name="Keyless" post="1104016" timestamp="1391156308"]There is one listed in knoxville for 350.00 , probably a blue label , but the price seems to be dropping fast . One sold on Gun Brokers a few days ago for 460.00 that a local gun shop had . It was said they can be ordered online for 424.00 but I didn't check it out because this was the first Glock that I just have no interest in owning but after watching the whole review he also mentions that price . Either way that is a big drop from a few weeks ago. I had started watching the review and just finished it . I also watched several other reviews on it and just can't get excited about a 380 in the size gun that so many are making in 9mm. I am sure they will sell just because it is a Glock but I am not sure of how well they will sell. I even have a 45 GAP and a G36 . The 45 GAP was cheap but I still don't know why I bought it . I have never shot it . The 36 I really like and carry often .[/quote] That one listed in Knoxville is listed in nearly every city in America, if you speak of gunlistings.org. That tells me it is a scammer probably not even in the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I'd call it....an M-15ery   A forgery between an M-14 and an M-16.   :stir:   I do like it.
