Like I mentioned in my post, most likely it's the master and not the slave. If it were the slave the pedal would be really soft. Flushing it wont really help any if one of the two are going bad. Personally I wouldn't drive it until it was fixed, but the worse case is you are going down the road when it goes out completely and can't get your car out of whatever gear it's in without shutting the engine off.

X2. Would be more helpful to know what kinda vehicle this is, because if it's an older one that doesn't have a hydraulic clutch then you can adjust it some. If the fluid has leaked down, you definately need to find and fix the leak. If not, either the clutch master cylinder. If it were the slave cylinder the pedal would be soft instead of hard, however in some vehicles you have to buy both to replace it correctly. Also..... This statement, especially if it's an older vehicle that doesn't have a hydraulic clutch, makes me think you have indeed worn the clutch out, especially if you regularly floor it in 4th gear from 15mph.

:lol:Good point. If it were MY dream, I woulda just tossed a grenade over at the two of them, and then thrown another one under the bus. I always carry those around with me in my dreams. I would have known that everyone was after me because I would have been on my way to turn in the winning Powerball ticket.

Ah shoot, peace threw me off when he mentioned that part about thinking the old man wasn't packin. In that case you would definately want to take out the dad first if either one seemed to be getting ready to fire. He will be more likely to hit you than the boy with the Glock. You should be able to let everyone on the bus live though in this case. In reality it's tough, no matter what the responses. From the information we've been given, all you really know is there is a man with a rifle and a boy with a gun standing there. You can't just shoot them because they're not even looking at you, so they're not a definate threat. Going for the door would be good, however if you run up in someone's house that isn't yours, when you don't even know for sure that the man and the boy were a threat, then you become the BG for breaking in someone's house. In either case your best bet would be to get to cover, and try to get out of there, hopefully without being noticed. If they then notice you, and come your direction, they are now a threat and can be treated as one. By this time as well, you would be behind cover and better prepared to take out both threats.

That's kinda tough, because you can't really just cap the boy just for standin there with a Glock unless you know for sure he is about to open fire on you. I also agree that if a boy is standing there with a gun and his dad is there, you should always assume the dad is armed as well. My suggestion would be to either get back on the bus, or move quickly and get out of there, while being ready and not taking your eyes off the boy. Just from what I gather from the scenario the boy most likely can't hit anything anyway, so if you're a quick moving target you are much better off. The minute there's any movement of the gun towards you, open up and shoot the boy as well as the father. You can argue the case later that the father looked like he was going for a gun as well. Make sure they are both dead so they can't argue their case. The other bad factor in this situation would be if the bus is still there with the guy you turned in still on it. There are witnesses, and it could go either way as to whether or not they would back up your story or they guy you turned in may have already gotten to them. Most likely your best bet would be to quickly move toward the boy, grab his Glock, and cap everyone on the bus. You could then say the whole thing was a setup from the beginning and that everyone on the bus was trying to kill you. After all, it's just a dream, so your actual best bet for that scenario is to wake up, just like you did. In real life I would probably let the people on the bus live, but either way the beginning would be about the same. I'd rather take my chances in court than to not shoot and lose my life. This is also why I don't ride buses.

Good choice. I like evil black rifles, and I know most everyone's first instinct is to say black, but on the AUG rifles it just doesn't look right to me.

I agree. No city living for me in a SHTF situation. I always kinda like the thought of having a whole city like that to myself though. It seemed to drive him crazy not having anyone to talk to, but I think I would do pretty good. Reguardless of how long all of my posts are on internet forums, in real life I really don't like talking to people much.

Welcome to TGO. My g/f is from Fairview, I love that area.

Hopefully I'm not too far off topic, but I was just wondering. The other day I was in Dick's and they have a 10/22 with an OD stock made like this one... I couldn't find much on it other than the Axiom stocks, and I'm not really sure that this was the exact brand they had on this rifle. It was $299, but came with both stocks. The main thing I liked about it was it was really light weight. The Axiom stocks say they fit both sporter, as well as .920 barrels. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these, or knew if the ones Dick's had were the same in working with both barrels. The reason I ask is, I have an older rifle that I'm rebuilding for my step brother, and I could use alot of the parts off of this one, as well as the wood stock, to get his rifle back in working condition. I was planning on upgrading the other one I have, but I would rather leave it the way it is really. My logic on this is, if I spend $299 on this, it saves me having to buy a barrel for his, as well as a stock. Since I was going to upgrade anyway, I can upgrade this rifle instead and use the factory parts to rebuild his. The way my twisted gun mind works, I can justify this by working it out to myself that I would be getting this rifle for free, because when all is said and done I'm going to have to buy those parts either way for the two rifles that I already have. I know I know.....I could buy the plain rifle and then buy the stock seperately online and end up with less in it, but I can't justify it to myself and would just end up upgrading what I've already got, and having to buy the parts needed to fix his.

I voted for the OD. I know you already have some in that color, and this is only my personal preferance, and in most cases I would say evil black, but for that rifle in particular OD is the only color I would go with.

I like your way of thinking in that this gives you an excuse to buy a new rifle. For me personal I have to throw in another vote for the 45-70. I've wanted one for a long time now, but haven't been able to justify buying one just yet. If I were planning a boar hunt I would definately go get one.

That was my exact though, and I may even try to click the safety off quietly. I have several rules around my house, and rule #1 is that if you're in my house, and you're not suppose to be in my house, you are about to die. I'm not the type that would really try to scare a burglar off with the sound of pumping the shotgun if he is already inside. That just gives them practice for the next time they break in my house. I would rather know that for that particular individual there won't be a next time.

Definately Remington 870 or if you want to save a few dollars go with the Mossberg 500. The main difference between the two for me would be whether or not I would want to upgrade here and there with different accessories. There's tons of things out there for either one of these, but the 870 has much more options than the 500. Just my .02

I went with the AR first mainly because I couldn't find a good quality AK. As mentioned though, AR prices have gone down quite a bit since last year at this time, so you might find a good quality AR for what you would pay for a quality AK. I am however planning to purchase an AK at some point in the near future, and based on this statement....... You know you're gonna end up getting both before it's all over with anyway.

Those that would actually dig up that kinda info in search of ammo are the real addicts. I'm bettin there's quite a few on here who would.

You do your regular shopping at a Wal Mart that is an hour away, because the one that is only 10 minutes away doesn't carry much ammo. I make this drive regularly, whether I buy any ammo when I go or not, just so I can look to see what kinda ammo is in stock. My favorite one is an hour and a half away, so I don't go there as often. Yup, I only make that trip about once a month or so. I also have another favorite secret Wal Mart ammo location but I can't give out any information on that one as it may give too many clues to it's location. And yes, I would only post ammo reports after I had bought all the stock, it's bad of me to do that on such a friendly forum, but I can't help this sickness.

I've got one in a Glock 22 as well, and like mentioned above the main issue I've had is the holster turning it on and running the batteries down. That's really only happened once so far though, so it's not that big of a deal. Other than that, I love it, but I purchased this handgun with the Lasermax already in it. In reality I don't use it enough to know whether I could justify the cost though, but if I had already decided to get one this would be the way I would go.

I agree, never can have enough good resources in HD situations, and no matter what I must say again that it is important to practice, or at least have definate plans in certain situations as to what each person in the home should do, and even the wives need to have a plan. Here not too long ago a woman broke into my cousin's house by breaking a window out with a flower pot. Her husband was out of town, and her and the kids were in her bedroom watching tv. She obviously heard the window breaking and knew someone was breaking in, and decided to stay in the bedroom until the cops got there, and she was armed and ready for the BG to come through the bedroom door. The disturbing part is they ended up finding the BG hiding in the attic (the BG had even managed to pull the folding stairs to the attic back up and everything). Had the BG not cut herself coming through the window, they may have never known that she went up in the attic. This would have let her come down more quietly after the police had left, and possibly after my cousin had gone to sleep (if that would have been possible). That whole possible scenario bothers me every time I think about it.

This kinda thing is why alot of the folks on here practice HD situations and drills on a regular basis so that both you and your wife know exactly what to do. Personally, you can't doubt the dog just yet either. After all, there was no intruder in the house. He probably knew that from not smelling anyone, and was following you around trying to figure out what the heck you were looking for. Had he smelled someone different, he may have been in a completely different mood. Glad everything turned out ok though, this in itself gives you practice.

I couldn't agree with you more on that. My two nephews have never been allowed around firearms at all much and it drives me nuts. Me and my dad (their grandfather of course) shoot on a regular basis and hunt all the time as well, and the two nephews are itchin to go along with us but my sister simply wont allow it. I think this is completely the *** backwards way of doing it. I would rather teach them how to shoot, and how to be safe with firearms rather than just try to keep them away from something that they are definately going to come in contact with at some point. I would bet that if ever left along with a firearm in plain sight curiosity would get the better of them and they would end up messing with it, which can end disasterously if they aren't taught how to be safe with them. What do I know though, I currently don't have any kids of my own. Sadly this also means that if something should happen to me, I have no one to pass my collection down too. Some of my rifles and shotguns belonged to my great great grandfather or maybe even further back in the family tree, and I would hate to see them sold off at auction or even left to someone outside the family.

Lots of little things here and there drive me nuts on TV when it comes to firearms and vehicles. I had been watching Sons of Anarchy alot up until the last episode of the season. Several things in there drove me crazy, but one of the main ones was Edmond got his handgun out of a hidden spot in the bathroom to kill the ATF agent. What bothered me was a detail that they could have left completly out of the episode and everything would have been fine. Edmond check the magazine to make sure the gun was loaded. In the end it turned out the gun had blanks in it. How can you be in the business of firearms like he is, and not know that your gun has blanks in it when you look at the rounds. They could have left the detail of him checking the mag out of the show and it wouldn't have bothered folks like me. I seem to find something done wrong in every show I watch when it comes to vehicles and firearms. Kinda makes me wish that I didn't know much at all about either subject, so that things like that wouldn't ruin a show for me.

For some of us it's even worse. Many many years ago I decided that the only true handgun for me would be a 1911. I have been hooked on the feel of them ever since the first one I handled. Now years have gone by and I still don't own one because I have yet to decide on exactly which one I want to go with. I don't mind spending $, but I don't want to overspend on something that isn't as good as one I could have gotten cheaper. I'm with Jack on staying away from black or blued because of it wearing off, but then again I also like the black guns, so that's another issue I'm still struggling with. Along the way I traded here and there and ended up with a Glock 22 and an XD-45 that are good enough to get me by handgun wise until I finally settle on my true favorite 1911, but here a while back my warehouse man here got one of the PT1911's and it kinda made me wonder if I should just pick one of those up to get me started. As for wanting to keep everything the same caliber, I really wouldn't worry about it much. Having both a .40 as well as a .45. Personally I have several different firearms that I have to buy for anyway, so trying to keep the same caliber would be out of the question anyway. Once you really start building up a small arsenal you'll know what I mean. Plus it gives you an excuse to buy that much more ammo when you go shopping. If you need 3-4 boxes for the .45, might as well pick up 3-4 for the .40 at the same time.......That's my logic.

I noticed that on the guide the other night and should have checked it out. I've gotten to a point where about all I watch are older shows, or things on the history channel. Most other modern day TV shows here lately have really made me realize that people are running out of ideas for entertainment.

It was on the same Sam's Club page and caught my eye as well. Sam's Club - Curio w/ Concealed Sliding 8-Gun Cabinet To me it would seem that it would be a safer approach than the cabinet the OP posted, because in alot of cases the thief wouldn't even notice it was there as opposed to seeing a locked cabinet that you know for sure something of value is in. Again, from looking at that one too depth would also be an issue for me on some of my scoped rifles. Would be great for my unscoped rifles and shotguns though.

Spread the bread all over your yard, pour the milk on top of it, and wait for it to freeze. Then sit and watch all the weather people flock to your yard so they can act like they were right about how much snow they said we were in for.
