May I ask what you don't like?

He'll need a beveled mag well for smooth entry, and quick reloads to keep him going. Not to mention a lube endorsment deal for those matches when things run dry after a few hours. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I'd love to come, but I will be gone from May 20th - Aug. 5th teaching black smithing at a summer camp. Maybe next time, have fun guys. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

$2k is about my limit for any firearm, short of a few high dollar Battle rifles that are on my "someday" list. I love my 1911's, but $4k is way more than I could ever afford to pay for one.

Well, if I wasn't self conscience about my backwoods grammar, I sure as hell am now around you bunch. I've always had a thick accent, and will usually revert to slang words in day to day conversation, even though I did good in most English classes, and had a librarian for a mother, so I have always been well read. I still have some issues with grammar and spelling from time to time, though as long as someone makes an effort at a coherent sentence, and it doesn't look like one big run on sentence typed in Ghetto speak and "texting code", I usually don't notice it. It does amaze me how many people who are in positions that include public speaking say ummm constantly. I do my best to avoid umm, or other nervous pauses and ticks in my speech.

To you guys who are turning in people reselling ammo. Yes it sucks, yes it pisses me off. But remeber, if you ever bought a vehicle and wrote down any price other than what you paid, your guilty of it. If you ever bought or sold at a flea market or yead sale without paying taxes on the stuff, your guilty of it. If you sold a gun for a profit your guilty of it. Yes this stuff is silly and yes almost everyone here has done those things. That doesn't make them any more legal or ok than reselling ammo. Suck it up, call them on it if you must, but turning people into the goverment for petty shit is a slippery slope. Some of you guys would fit right in up in New York. They will pay you $500 to turn in your neighbor with an AR up there. Then a thread gets posted here about someone acting weird or calling the cops over a gun, or calling police on neighbors, etc everyone is in agreement that people and the goverement need to mind their own buisness. But obviously if something doesn't suit some of you guys your ready and willing to call the IRS in and possibly ruin their life. Glad I don't live next to you guys if we ever get New York legslation. I can actually trust my neighbors Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Just a thought for the guys with .22's. What if they are 28 days later style zombies with the rage virius? 1. My home built AR, with a 10.5" pistol upper to be an SBR. 2. Select fire Bereta 93R 3. One of my hand forged breaching hawks and one of my big 12" plus bowies. Or my 24 lb sledge Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I never said a thing about getting it for free. The reason I havn't asked any of the tattoo artist in my area is because I haven't found one I trust yet. I also need an artist who will sell me the rights to the picture for use on t-shirts, and most tattoo artist won't. Thats why I posted here. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

[quote name="Erik88" post="961214" timestamp="1367196623"] Rifle and handgun. 1911 is on the seat if I'm in the truck, on my belt if I'm not. AR-15 behind the seats Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere I'm not going to risk leaving my AR in my vehicle to be stolen. I have a fantastic hiding spot for my Glock which I doubt anyone would find and I bring it inside with me when I get home from work.[/quote] I live in a very rural town, and rarely venture to larger citys like knoxville so break ins are a small concern. This will change from person to person and area to area. I do everything I can to mitigate break ins, and drive an older beat up pick up truck with no gear visible and nothing enticing like sound equipment. Its a risk I'm willing to take to ensure I have a long gun in case of a shtf situation and I need to get home. Plus I live on a large farm, and also travel to my parents farm alot. My truck gun has been pressed into service more than once to get rid of a coyote harassing live stock, something that would be almost impossible with a handgun, or even a shotgun. My firearms do enter and exit the truck with me when I'm home. I dont leave them overnight Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I love my Springfield, excellent choice

Hell, they were to busy screwing guards, and buying them cars in this prison to post pictures   http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/24/shocking-indictment-prison-gang-took-over-baltimore-prison-impregnated-corrupt-guards/2/     Our prison system needs to be looked at very closely

I carry a blowout kit in my truck all the time, and 95% of the time I'm close to my truck. I'll just have to play the odds, as I can't stand to carry a bunch of stuff in my pockets, or hanging from my belt.   My blowout kit contains: 2 torniquets 2 izzy bandges 1 pack hemcon/quikclot 1 NPA (nasal airway tube) 2 j-hooks (oral airway tubes) 2 chest seals 1 decompression needle Vet wrap Ace bandage Gauze   Its a pretty good kit for major emergency, but is definitely geared towards gunshots and major trauma.

I could teach you basic sword handling and knife fighting, but nothing specefic to the gladius. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Is anyone here an artist who could draw up a picture that would go on a T-shirt and possibly a tattoo. I want a large viking carrying an AR-15 intead of sword and shield. Or does anyone know somebody who does that kind of work? Thanks I'm looking for something kind of like this [URL=http://s535.photobucket.com/user/tnplowboy07/media/viking-series-history-channel_zpsd3a48482.jpg.html][/URL]

Should be running by tomorrow. Ive been dealing with helping dad remodel and its killing me on time to do damn near anything else. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

You'll get there brother. Keep your head up, you'll be walking, albeit with a pimp limp, in no time brother Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Not my kinda thing. But I'm very plain, mostly solid color work shirts. So anything that really pops like that isn't for me, and it has a gangster kind look that I think is a little extreme. Decent graphics though, good looking shirt if your into that kinda shirt. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I use a 1 x 30" belt grinder to establish the edges on my hand forged blades, working my way to 600 grit. Then I use a medium Arkansas stone to make them shave. I could do it all with stones, but starting with a fresh blade power tools are easier. I will touch a blade up on the grinder from time to time if its in nasty shape, or a super cheap beater.,

I carry a mid-2000's Springfield 1911 GI. Its a basic model, and I love it dearly. I prefer the small GI sights for carry, but a commander would probably be easier to carry everyday.

  Never really thought we'd have trouble with it. The bottom rocks are buried deep, and we have other, larger buildings on similar foundations that have been there for years and years and never had issue. I don't think overturning would be an issue as heavy as it is.

  I found them 3 places and handled them. Bass pro had them for $146, Smokey Mountain Knife Works had them for $140, and Greenes military in Knoxville had them for $155. I picked mine up off amazon for $112 shipped.  Expensive, but worth it to me

We usually get 4-6 a day on average when they are laying normally. So maybe 30 a week on average. Its plenty for my family, which has 12 people including the kids. 10 chickens and a rooster. We look to add more soon for meat, but these are making more than enough eggs.

I just got my new multi tool. Its a Leatherman MUT, which is aimed directly at military, LEO and civilian shooters. I just got the box, and have had no way to test it yet, but it seems to feel solid in the hand, and has a lot of features that make it unique to a shooter who needs a good mix of specialty and general tools. Some of the stuff I think is noteable for shooters. Replaceable Firearm Disassembly Punch Replaceable Bronze Carbon Scraper #8-32 Cleaning Rod/Brush Adapters Carabiner/Bottle Opener (For when you need a cold beer, cleaning your rifle) Some of the stuff that made me choose it was the fact that it has replaceable hardwire cutters, which will be getting test on barbed wire as soon as possible, and that alot of the stuff is one handed operation. It'll be finding a permanent place on my belt and with my shooting gear, if initial impressions are any indication. Does anyone else have one of these? I had to decide between this and the Multitasker 2, and this seemed a little more of a general tool with some firearms tools, than a firearm tool that could work for some general tasking. Lets see your multitool, and here your opinions on the MUT.

I thought I'd post some pics of my dads end of the world chicken coop. My name, not his lol. Its built out of oak we cut from our land, then cut on the band mill. It sits on oak 6x6's with a rock foundation, and its built in a bat and board style, with external nest boxes to get eggs from the outside. It has storage up top for anything you'd really need to store, we usually keep chicken feed up there. Anyways I thought I'd share, since its on of the strongest and best built chicken coops I've seen, and I'm proud to say I helped my old man build it.
