  1. Both links work here at work, and we block all kinds of legit stuff.  Might be something with your browser or provider.  Try copying the shortcut and pasting it into your browser to see if that works.
  2. Seen this on another site, signed it and was about to share here  see if this link works: https://www.change.org/p/federal-energy-regulatory-commission-chairman-norman-c-bey-ferc-do-not-approve-the-gas-compression-station-to-move-into-joelton-tn-and-destroy-walden-s-puddle-a-nonprofit-wildlife-rehabilitation-and-education-center?recruiter=338311239&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
  3. On mine I get leading if my bullet does not seal properly and gas gets around the bullet.  With a proper coating, PC or Ben's Liquid Lube I get no noticeable leading at all even when I push them quite fast. With some of my PC coated bullets the base is exposed and they are rather soft on the hardness scale, not pure but range scrap soft, but then again many FMJs have an exposed base too.  Some have taken to PC the bullets point down (non tumble method) leaving the tip exposed, but I think that's for expansion vs leading but IDK what results they are getting either way from that.
  4. Because it's illegal, and I for one don't post my willingness to knowingly break the law; even if I am. If I am out, my gun is in my vehicle if I'm drinking. I dont go to functions where getting inebriated is the goal, so I have one or two drinks early on then make sure at least an hour or two go by before I drive and therefore regain control of my weapon. If it looks like it will be more than a couple, I give it more time. The chance of something happening is slim, and even slimmer that it happens when I have been drinking. If I am ever in a place I feel a higher chance of something happening, I don't drink.
  5. I'm a bit lost here, I can handle my weapon very well sober, I can handle my liquor well enough, but I don't mix the two. Of course I don't drink to excess either so maybe that's why your point may be lost on me. When I drink more than a beer or two I make it a point to not handle or carry my weapon or drive, even if I feel no effects. Not that I feel I may be unsafe, it's that I don't want to put myself in a position where someone else gets to decide whether I am safe or not.
  6. That mount is great, and if you can get it cheaper even better.  I have mine on a Millet scope mount I found at walmart.  The AR has very light recoil so that mount is sturdy enough, my buddy has the P series mount, his came with the scope, mine didn't so went the cheaper route.    I looked at this software when I got mine, but you had to pay for it then, is it free now?  I use Strelok + to do mine, its very good and can be used with any of my scopes.
  7. I have one on my 16" 300 Blk, its not a bad scope for the price but not in love with the reticle.  I thought it would be less intrusive but those little circles are a bit distracting to me.  Much better to have a simple mildot type reticle which you can calibrate to the 300 Blk.  On the upside, you can pick out those circles quite well and rather quickly, if you know your targets range you can usually put it right in the bulls eye with little effort.    The BDC is over rated IMHO, while its great if you shoot the same exact round combo (if you reload) or same commercial round, but its harder to switch from light to heavy rounds at the range or in the field.  The BDC only has a few reference points, (4 I think) so a 110 grain bullet will not line up if you have the BDC ranged for say a 120 grain or heavier bullet.  With more reference lines, its possible to get closer to a reference line with each weight so without changing settings on the turret.  While some shooters mess with their turrets to get on the bull, I seldom change settings, I instead use hold over (Kentucky windage) to get on target, but that's just me.  I zero at 100 (hunting) or 36/50 yards (HD) and hold over if my target is at a different distance.
  8. While I would not chance that particular scenario, I wouldn't let the fact that I had a beer or two keep me from defending me or mine. I wonder if anyone who was involved in a home invasión (home owner) ever been tested for alcohol and drugs, and been charged if positive? I would think that self defense would trump that charge.
  9. Make it a pistol, with a good sling it is rather stable and if you make it ADA capable with a Sig Brace well, its very stable. That way you can put on whatever barrel size you want.
  10. I went to harbor freight for my trailer tool box, fairly cheap considering the others: http://www.harborfreight.com/35-inch-steel-trailer-tongue-box-66244.html http://www.harborfreight.com/2-34-cu-ft-steel-trailer-tongue-box-60302.html I went with the more expensive one, but with the 20% coupon it was less than $100. More than 4 years and the only thing that didn't hold up is the paint but a quick rattle can paint job will fix that.
  11. Though he's a comedian, an Australian at that, it doesn't make it funny; specially when you consider that many take his statements to heart. But they haven't taken all their "facts" into account: http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2012/08/some-notes-on-claims-about-australias.html
  12. Sort of broke back mountain.
  13. Looking at some laminated boards that have the skin peeled off, they just have lines of some red glue that were holding it together.  None of the ones I have seen have had an even spread of glue, though it wouldn't hurt to do it that way I suppose. If its going to have edge and corner protectors the skin should stay put either way as long as the glue sets properly.  If you want to use the proper glue you may want to give one of the trailer builders a call, they may just tell you what they use.
  14. +1 for The Captain, she has good clean lead in either range scrap or wheel weight ingots and her prices are right close to $1 a lb.
  15. I looked at those when the aluminum lowers were at their peak in price but decided against them, just not a big fan of them.  Now that many aluminum ones can be had for cheap I can't see an upside to them except maybe perhaps some weight but even that is negligible.  If they were the 80% type then maybe you can list that as a positive but so many aluminum lowers can be had via private sale that even that would not be much of a selling point then considering that aluminum 80% ones are also getting a bit cheaper I would not go for it.
  16. I agree, I don't see it as a bad thing to let others know you would like a place to shoot, hunt, fish etc.  If you have a place and want to offer, then great, otherwise the request goes unfilled.  As for the liability portion, (any legal guys/gals here) would a waiver such as many ranges have you sign: https://www.smartwaiver.com/w/5181a265e56d2/web, be sufficient to release an owner of liability?  I would think so especially since not a commercial prospect; I know there is a waiver for sporting purposes and such which was recommended if leasing land to hunters, I figure it would be ok for some non-commercial range time as well.
  17. While I'm sure you could get both here in Clarksville,  why would you leave Memphis for them where they are both much more available.  I have noticed an uptick lately in shootings here, but when the shooters are identified they are not someone legally allowed to own a gun in the first place. And though a couple of them have domestic, most have been near government housing and "party" related.
  18. MOLLE is the only attachment system I have seen in over 10 years.  The only thing that has seen any "improved" are some of the methods of attachment such as molle sticks and molle lok but those only come on a few pieces of equipment such as the IOTV for the adjusters and a few webbing cutter pouches which have a plastic lock system.  IMHO the molle straps with stiffeners are the best, though harder to weave through they provide a sturdy attachment and since they are not plastic they dont get brittle and break.  
  19. All politics,  if they receive nothing they donate nothing.  While I disagree with the Brady campaign and their tactics I have to admire the way they do things.  If they win, they advance their cause, if they lose they are not held liable.  You can't get blood from a turnip so I doubt anyone will end up paying much if anything.
  20. They do not sue in their name, they get others to file with their financial support: http://www.bradycampaign.org/our-impact/resources/current-cases-against-gun-dealers 
  21. Here are two in the immediate vicinity The first is a Gerber, it may still be the one issued. The second says Asek on one side and Ontario on the other. I think it's an updated pilot survival knife withe the leather sheath I had in the 80s. As shown, they both have molle straps, and leg straps but I never used those. The only thing I strapped on my leg was my M9, and that only while on mission otherwise just a hip holster while in civies.
  22. I'd be careful,  I tried the flush and it did not work out for me.  A couple of days after I tried the flush, I had to go into the ER in extreme pain and a fever.  I had a sonogram which showed stones so they immediately checked me in for surgery the next morning.  Apparently the flush just washed a large stone into the duct which lodged.  They made a couple of small incisions and used some scope to get the gall bladder out.  Apparently the flush sort of soaks into the stone which makes them a bit softer and bigger, it also coats it in a slimy skin and flushes it out of your system.  If the stones are smaller, sand or pea size then it may work fine but mine were almost marble sized so the duct was not large enough to pass them.  The surgery itself was fine, but the nurse or whoever intubated me sliced my throat so had a sore throat for a few weeks afterward.  The docs warned me to cut back on spicy food and a few other things but I mainly eat the same as always.
  23. I mostly used a benchmade folder, my fixed blade was usually left in its sheath.  Our ALSE section would issue various knives so I carried whatever knife du jour was issued.  I remember carrying a kabar, an M9 (Buck)  bayonet, a pilot survival knife, a gerber survival knife and another I forget the brand of but its in a drawer someplace. The latest few had molle straps but all always had a 550 safety.  Most times I would place them on the side of my pack with the handle down but on a few occasions I would have it attached to my vest.  I'll try and drag out a few for pics later.
  24. Like these: http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/cats/fish/fish-tn.htm?136,151 or these: http://www.kentuckyhydrografx.com/   The last ones are pretty good maps, shows all the bottom structures but I don't know if they show the specific areas you are looking for.  I use google earth to plan then the fishfinder to indicate when I am over a structure I want to fish.
