I lost an uncle in Korea, one in 'Nam and almost lost my Dad there too. The flag is at half staff all weekend for those men and what we, as a family, lost.

I do and have....while living out west I found myself targeted by a pack of rather large coyotes. I was hiking thru the desert way outside of Salt Lake and Mr.Browning's eternal design propelled some rather recent reloads and rid the world of 3 yotes. Wheel weights, tin and Zip...that's the ticket. :up:

Anything made by our own Grand Torino....he has good quality knives in his ever growing stock....or you could look at Boker knives.

Individual heroism is American. I understand that Sheriff may have wanted to protect the individual cop from Islamic repercussions but by back tracking on who did what and when set the example for others to wait until SWAT gets there. When seconds count  SWAT is just minutes away.  Individual initiative needs to be rewarded, not divided up between departments. I understand teamwork but this cop did an excellent job.

I wouldn't want to get shot with a pretty Glock or a fugly Hi Point..... :cool:

SWAT was late to the party....give credit to the traffic cop for doing what needed to be done when it needed to be done. Sounds like the SWAT team is trying to justify their funding.

 An ammosexual...does that mean your primer has been pierced? I know of guys that regularly bulge their brass with their Glocks.....after limp wristing with their 1911 of course.

Does anyone else remember the Muslim Day event held on the Texas State Capitol steps awhile back? They exercised their free speech right and were met with 1 woman protesting that their god is not our God. She was exercising her right to speak freely and was escorted away. No bullets went flying. The issue is actions vs. words. I can say that my dog's crap is holy and doesn't stink but when I fling that sh*t in you face for you to smell....that crosses the line. Actions make the difference. The Muslims are pushing their beliefs by violent actions and it is not by a militant minority. Our God given, Constitionally protected rights are being eroded day by day. A time is soon approaching that we stand up and fight or kneel down and die. Actions make the difference. God save the USA.

Never rush a real estate deal and tread carefully when dealing with FedGov. You have an offer for your asking price from an investor, sounds like they want to flip it at a profit. That's how I bought my house for 1/3 of market value and nothing is wrong with it. The VA has time, money and bargaining power on their side. Quick and painless are not spoken by the govt or their agents....just my :2cents:

Red...I owe you a beer or beverage of your choice....that Lucky Gunner article is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you.

My Dad and I were discussing military calibers/weapons that he used in service. The conversation wandered around the 30.06 and 7.62x51...Garand versus M14....both .30 caliber yet one is a "full battle round" and the x51 is a "target round" (his words not mine). The only difference I can find between the two is case length and diameter.....so one holds more powder....but they use the same projectile...correct? I know better than to argue with the stubborn old Yankee.....since he carried both in service..... but is there any real difference between the two cartridges? Could I use the same 150gr FMJBT in both cases with different powder charges? I say yes...he says no....a steak dinner lies in the balance...help !  :D

They are uglier than sin....but I still want one....congrats on your new baby Rhino!

  Just returned from Academy.....lots of ammo at decent prices, spam cans of 54r, lots of .22 behind the counter... $3.50 for 50 rds CCI 40gr....limit 2 per person per day....reloading gear but no powder yet....good selection of handguns and long arms, not great prices but better than Mahoney's... for now...took my wife and we had a blast walking around and shopping. Just my excited :2cents:

Believe I can't how annoying that was.......

Congratulations ! Daughters are a joy...and a pain...and a challenge all rolled into one. Just ignore the feelings as you are wrapped around her finger by her smile... they are the best blessing (next to a good wife) that God gives to a man. Enjoy her and teach her well. :up:

Welcome to the club! :up:

Yes thank you! I can really use this guide as I'm starting to reload for 12ga..... :up:

The Bond franchise is just Dr.Who for adults...... :rofl:

:drool:  wow...very nice score

Randall....thank you for posting that.....

His suffering started in Gethsemane...he drank the cup of Wrath (3rd cup in the Passover seder) and then the Father started to pour out His Wrath (for mankind's sin) on him. That is why he prayed "If it be possible let this cup pass from me, but not my will but Thine be done". Yeshua took upon himself my sin and the summary punishment. He rose from the dead and redeemed me! Blessed be the Lord! To my brothers and sisters at TGO......rejoice and be glad....our Redeemer lives!

I had a high and tight up to the age of 16!.......hair flew high, butt cheeck clinched tight........my Dad sat us boys down on the commode, draped a towel over our shoulder and turned on the buzz clippers....usually 5 swipes front to back....ok yer done.....NEXT....we looked like hell...but an Army hell....such is life on post.

      I went and looked at it last night...took some snap caps to test the feeding as I've read about mag feed issues....yup this one would not feed for squat. Kept jamming the second round or riding over it...kinda like a finicky AK. Seems the guy was just trying to unload a lemon....I did have high hopes for it being a Remmy....will have to look closer at the Savage line.         $279 for an .06? Wow This guy wanted $350 for a .308 used.....glad I passed it up. Thanks for the input gentlemen, I do appreciate the wealth of brain power here. Now to hunt down a new deer rifle..... :up:
