I've had a M1A with a lot of the whistles and bells. It would only cycle 308's off a machine gun belt. Not even close with my reloads. Ended up putting it in the back of the safe and eventually giving it to my oldest son. He hasn't said anything about it so I figure it's sitting in the back of his safe. Replaced it with a Ruger AR 762. Great groups, eats everything I feed it, and didn't cost anything like the M1A did.

Thank you for the lesson for the day. Once in a while we all need a reminder why we are here on this earth. Ray ZIllick Tellico Plains

I went. With the expressed purpose of finding a 5" M&P M2.0. My mistake. No one had a M2.0 of any kind at the show.

Thanks.

What did they change in gen 2?

I was hot on it until I found out that Ruger switched out a part in the bolt for one in plastic. Couldn't deal with a part in the most important part in the gun being plastic.

BTW, the governor of Texas embraced the capitalism there the other day. With bottled water going for $80-$100 a case and gas going for $20/gal they decided $20,000 fines per incident to start with was a nice thing to do for the capitalistic individuals there.

It's very simple to me. Any gun sticker on a car says [ Break into me first ]

Come on to Tellico Plains. Latest weather 92 degrees and occasional clouds. We're only expecting 112,000 more folks. Hotels are all full, people are selling space in their yards for $15-$30 for the eclipse and $40-$60 to camp in with no facilities for the night. Don't know how I really feel about this. But I'm bordering on " It makes me sick that local people are taking advantage of it ".

There's the difference between an optimist and a pessimist

That's a big 10-4

Mine was an Ansultz single shot 22. Kid sized, when I was 8 or 9. I had to earn the money to buy it [ $14-15 ]I have never seen one since. BTW I'm 70.

I remember the fifties with the school drills and the back yard bomb shelters. And the sixties when we realized that the half life of the radiation would be beyond our great great grandchildren's lifetime. And if the politicians gum bumping and the military antimissile missiles don't work we're in the same place we would be before all the fear mongering. Just find a chair, sit in it, bend as far forward as you can, and kiss your ass goodby.

Can larger shot be made for hunting? What's the composition of the lead?

When y'all get done with your one acre, come on out here to Tellico Plains. I got 25 acres that got away from me while I was in the hospital getting my gull bladder taken out. My other half has volunteered to cut it for me. Only thing is when she came out of the bedroom in shorts, for the first time this year, I thought she was dead.

I've heard this BS before. It's the wind's fault It's the gun's fault They were only juveniles It's the fault of the store that sold the gun Should the prosecution be done by the state, or feds, or local? Let's just sue the gun manufacture. It had to be their fault Shall I go on? Talk is that they could be charged as adults. That means they had to be 16, or so. They're act destroyed over 1700 structures, cost untold millions in revenue to thousands of businesses, not to mention the deaths they caused. Should we do what any good liberal would do and slap them on the back of the hand? Oh!, we should pity the poor juveniles. BULLSH&*. Let's see some good old American justice here.

Thank you for correcting my spelling. I spent my whole working life in commercial construction. The hardest thing I have to do is not put the appropriate adjectives in a return thread like this. HUMM! I wonder what I meant by that?

Didn't know I was unhappy with the M&P line, 'til they came out with the 2.0. If I was going to be any happier I'd have to take my cloths off.

The future of gun shows for me is over. The prices have gotten way out of hand. I've been doing my gun related buying through the internet. I shop prices, make my choice, and the item is sitting on my porch in a few days. Guns go through my local FFL dealer.

I,to, was told that lead bullets in the Ruger 44 mag auto rifle is a no no. When I contacted Ruger they told me that when the gas check fouled the rifle would have to be returned to them or to a very competent gun smith to have the system cleaned out.

Didn't know where else to put this one

Your wife is stopped at a stop light. Cars in front and behind you. A person comes up to the window point a gun at her through the side window and says "Roll down the window or I'll shoot you". You've got a 380. Should you...... Roll the window down Shoot him through the window. Ignore him and hope he goes away Or?

Did you check the prices? They caught up with the gun shops and the guys at the flea markets with their prices. The scare is about over. The feds and the survivalists have all they want. Now we can have some.

Seriously!, I'm on the list but haven't seen a price as of yet.
