No, but Vaseline works quite well with beeswax as a bullet lube.

The DIY european mount I tried worked out pretty good, less than $30 for it and about $20 of that was the oak plaque. Now that I have a basic idea of the plaque, my next one will be that much less.

Nice buck, you mounting him? He would make a good european mount.

I've used grease in the past, but I seriously don't think there is much of a difference between oil and grease on guns in use. I mostly use CLP because CLP has all three properties, it's in the name Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant. If you let it sit long enough you can see it separate into an oil and a thicker grease like substance. The only thing I now use grease on is things like guns I plan on storing for a bit, or maybe if I am going to run a large amount of ammo through them at the range but only sometimes there. The grease I have in my box is milspec, used for the 240G, but like I said I rarely use any.

That has been used for the ordinance corps for some time. -
I have no problem wishing others a Merry Christmas, or Happy Hanukkah or Happy whatever they are celebrating.

Maybe Bloomberg can finally put his money to good use and get himself a nice 1911.

Rethinking HCP carry after San Bernadino
Omega replied to jgradyc's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I don't see that as a problem, it's easy to differentiate between the guy blasting at everyone and those trained on that individual. The ones you hear about getting shot are ones that point their guns at uniformed LEOs instead of laying it down. And as been shown many times, the killing is usually over by the time they arrive. -
Just seen it and I am mostly disappointed with the writers. It was the first movie all over again, and I agree about the whole light saber battle, just not believable that a stormtrooper could keep up with a Jedi trained warrior. I never read any of the books so from that aspect I can't really complain, but there was so much they could of done to make this a NEW movie and not redo the first one with better cgi.

Omega replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
Congratulations to all the winners, and again, Merry Christmas to all TGO members out there. -
I was out this evening, nothing moved at all. So took the time to clean the plexiglass in my stand so when/if it gets cold I can keep them down and still be able to see.

Mom wants to limit firearm discharges in Knox Co.

No, unfortunately liberals can live anywhere they want. -
Decided to try my luck in the rain, so far nil. Heard a couple of far off shots, but that may of been duck hunters; may not be enough of us out here to move them around.

I use theraflu in the little packets, I keep a box of the night/day combo box in the cupboard. I like the chamomile flavored ones but they are hard to find, so I make due with other flavors sometimes.

I thought I was tactical til I saw this!

What, you guys don't have one? How else are you going to attach your backup bipods, flashlights and laser range finder? It beats the gorilla tape I had to use :rofl: -
It is listed as a permit, not a licence for some reason. It says it is a special season/WMA non-quota permit. I wonder if bucks in a WMA count towards the 2 buck limit? https://www.tn.gov/twra/article/hunting-permits-j1

When your transmission went out, did they put the front driveshaft on? Don't laugh, I had a buddy who had his 4x4 Nissan worked on, they completely left the front driveshaft off. He didn't realize it for some time until he attempted to put it in 4wheel drive.

Did they connect the front driveshaft?

ATF Copying 4473 information in bulk
Omega replied to FreedomGunCo's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Don't underestimate the available technology, records can be scanned and OCR software used to import data into fields. There are commercial scanners available that are used to import business cards, receipts, etc., I imagine there are better ones available to government and large businesses that can accomplish this rather quickly. -
Merry Christmas

Is that one of those summer convertible models? Didn't they tell you not to shoot .40 ammo in that weak 10mm?
-
Ammo cans are overrated. They work great if stored properly out of the weather, but not very good for outdoor storage. The seals will fail eventually, some just last longer than others. I have gone through a few cans hiding geocaches, like I said some last longer than others. I do use them to store ammo, mostly loose, but some in their own boxes but mostly I just stack the boxes on shelves.

Shots fired at Academy on Kingston pike cedar Bluff.
Omega replied to G27ATT's topic in General Chat
What, some .22 LR came in? -
That is actually a good thing, to get around that on mine I used a 20 round mag. But with my ARs its really overkill since the recoil is really mild. On any of my other rifles If I am only confirming zero I don't use it, but if I am developing a load for a particular rifle/use combo I fire quite a few and after awhile it wears your shoulder out. If this one would of been priced like this when I got mine I would of jumped on it.

Yea, not the same but that is the one I have and it works great. The one in the OP allows the front rest to move forward and aft to better position it on the stock of shorter rifles and maybe even handguns. I got a separate pistol rest to use for my .44, but since I just needed something cheap, I got this one: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00094574662/Handy-Shooting-Rest-NXT-
