Why not go wildcat? I am in the middle of building a .277 Wolverine, it is a 5.56 case cut and necked up slightly to a .277 (think .270 win) bullet. Looks like its doing quite well as a longish distance round with 90 grain bullets. And all you need is a barrel, currently I am going with 18" stainless but waiting on a 10.5" in stainless (for a second one) since it has performed well there too with heavier bullets suppressed. There are other wildcats too, right now they are working on a 6.8 SPC like build, but with modified upper/lower to accept longer OAL.

Maybe, but I had good luck planting corn in such dirt in my area. I too have right-of-ways in my hunting land, a TVA and a gas line. The dirt on the top looked good, not too compacted and rich looking, the one at the bottom about the same. The one at the bottom took corn real well with nothing done on my part except spreading the seed, the one at the top, nada. Did not reach maturity though as it was grazed before stalks produced ears of corn. What I did afterward was to spread some ladino clover, red clover, chicory, essex rape and some wheat. Was great for one season, then the weeds started to take over. So re-tilled, and spread cheap grass seed from rural king ($3 bags not the bulk) and not have huge clover field. I figured since every time I tried to plant grass at home I ended up with a bunch of clover it would do the same there, and it did. To date I haven't had much luck with soy beans even though I tried a couple of times, but either turkeys or some other critter keeps eating the seed. I have a 55gl barrel full of soybean seed though, so will keep trying, a couple of weeks ago I spread some out so we will see what happens.

That and a little lime now and then.

Only if you defer to the ATF's definition, my 10.5" AR is considered a pistol by them, but throw a stock on it and bam, it's a rifle.

Too many unanswered variables to make an informed decision so I'll do this: Long gun ATM I'll pick my 10.5" .300 Blackout, good close-in SD weapon in suppressed or supper. In a pinch can be used at longer ranges. Pistol, I'll stick with my Glock 23, has not failed me yet. While arguably the .40 is not better than the 9mm or the .45, but equal IMO, it makes holes where I want them and the 180 grain Speer Gold Dots will drop any threat as long as I do my job. It's easily concealed, runs like a well oiled machine and you would be hard pressed to find a more dependable gun.

Speaking of going out of business; stopped by Grandpa''s here in Clarksville, first thing I notice are a bunch of customers, then I walk in and 30% off signs everywhere. Seems the owner wants to retire, problem is she gave her workers no notice. Didn't go into the gun area as the store was closing in a few and I needed some hardware, but there may be some deals to be had.

I planted small fruit trees at my place, deer would eat the leaves leaving them bald. I placed 4' welded wire fencing around each tree with no room to jump in and not close enough to the tree for them to eat the leaves, about 2' away from the branches.

Suppressors that don't work
Omega replied to Caster's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Could be his stack, not enough of an expansion chamber. Then again, maybe he is expecting Hollywood quite, is he using subs? -
If I read the story correctly, he never took possession of the weapon. And, if he purchased the gun with the intent to give to someone else, that is not a felony per se, only if the next party was a prohibited person and the buyer knew that, then that is a felony. Of course, you can't purchase a weapon for someone else if they are providing the money, say to get an employee discount or something like that, even if the final recipient is not a prohibited person. So to be safe, its best to give a gift certificate or gift card so they can fill out the 4473 themselves. Ain't weapon laws wonderfully easy to understand?
-
I don't get any lag, but did notice a bit on the dark theme. So maybe it's a setting or something?
-
I beg to differ, how can you enforce such a law without having a way to confirm if a certain serial number went through the bg process?
-
I don't mind the politics, as long as it's related to 2A, weapons, CCW, or SD issues etc, it belongs here. The problem is that some don't know how to keep it from getting personal, I'm sure it keeps moderators busy. As this is a post about traffic, I'm not sure there is a correlation with these topics and less (or more) traffic. You can always choose what topics to look at or respond to, but I do feel some just make it too personal; it's just not that serious.

I don't know about anyone else, but I see background checks just like the GCA; gun control. So in my case it's not that I support background checks, it's that I tolerate them. But I am hard pressed to see any other way to keep guns away from criminals. The thing is, background checks, tax stamps, and CCW permits have become a way to put money into the system, otherwise why not make it free? Why a bg check for each purchase vs per person? Why a bg check when you have a CCW, Military, LEO, have a Security Clearance? Why can't you have prohibited weapons without a $200 tax? Does $200 make you less likely to commit heinous acts? No, it's all about control, nothing else.
-
It's all bs, they ask questions such as "Do you think guns should be kept from criminals and terrorists?", then when the answer is of course Yes, they say we support gun control or whatever bs they want to push. I only support dropping the hammer on criminals and terrorists, and the way to do that is to first identify them and target them, and in the case of terrorists eliminate them. In the case of criminals, tack on an extra few years when they use firearms in a crime.

I started some time back but have been on a long break lately due to getting bored, many of the caches are just not too imaginative. I do have some hidden though but have let some get archived to open up areas to other cachers.

Me, I use the block feature to either shorten the thread or to remind me of someone that either ticked me off or was a donkey about something or another. Nobody here has made the list, yet, but on another forum I have a few, one just goes on and on and on taking half the page with drivel so in order to see more posts I just block him, selectively expanding his posts. The others are not to block their posts per se, but to alert me that they have made it known they don't appreciate my posts so I don't rile them up unintentionally.

I always heard it called bath salts.

First off, props for his support of many causes at least he gave back to the community: Muhammad Ali has supported the following charities: Ali Care Program Andrea Bocelli Foundation Athletes For Hope BeatBullying Buoniconti Fund To Cure Paralysis Celebrity Fight Night Foundation HELP USA Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation Keep Memory Alive Michael J. Fox Foundation Muhammad Ali Center Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center Parkinson Society Maritime Region Project A.L.S. Special Olympics The HollyRod Foundation The Miami Project UNICEF Watering Seeds Organization The thing I'll never understand though, the public gets so worked up over celebrities deaths as if their mother or father had died. We lose men whom helped keep our country safe on a daily basis, some who gave their all in some instances yet they are nothing but a few lines in their local papers. Anyone note the passing of these men?? http://www.cmohs.org/ Hector A. Cafferata Jr. Passes Away April 13, 2016 Hector A.

Yea, my employer got the same guidance. We used to get quarterly checks separately from our paychecks, now it's structured differently and comes in with our paychecks and taxed.

I know it sounds bad, but logistically speaking there was no other way. We were moving so fast that we didn't have transportation or enough guards to keep the quantities of weapons found in multiple caches. Since most of the Iraqi military she'd their uniforms there was no way we wanted those weapons left intact for those we left behind us. As it was many hardened armories were raided let alone those in schools and medical facilities.

Ok, it has happened a few times now. I write a post, and in this case I use the preview, then when I think I am done I hit submit topic but the whole thing just disappears. I has happened on chrome on my tablet and now in Internet explorer. Not sure what causes it, one I was posting a new topic, and others I was replying so not sure what they have in common. I am going to copy this one just in case it disappears.

Dang, hate to get an elephant ticked at me!
