Men Arrested for Stealing Machine Guns And Silencers From SHOT
Omega replied to DaveTN's topic in General Chat
You got to give them a pass on that one, they are silencers. Maxim named them that, there was/is a push to change it because they don't really silence the report, just suppress it. -
There are a cou This guy is an idiot, he must be trying to get funding for research, or selling a book. In the over 60 years that we have known about CWD, there has been 0 evidence that it has crossed the species barrier. Thats not to say it needs to be taken lightly, as it is very detrimental to the herd, and hunting. But fear mongering for the sake of it, IMHO, is as detrimental as the disease itself. If in 60 years it hasn't shown itself, chances are slim that it will. Of course, mutations and susceptibility to a specific strain of prion can possibly become an issue, such as mad cow and those unlucky few that got infected, so we must stay vigilant, but we also needn't get so scared of it that unnecessary steps are taken

This has gone from 0 to over 163, affecting 8 counties (last # I've heard about) in one season. That may be the fastest jump yet, well beyond the number of positives, of other States. https://www.tn.gov/twra/hunting/cwd.html

This was a black on white crime, nothing to see here. It has been covered here in TN, but the MSM has not picked it up because it does not support their agenda, otherwise they would sensationalize it like they did Treyvon Martin and Michael Brown.

Looks like you have 5.56 pretty well covered, so I would go with the AR-9, they are a blast to shoot. I got the entire upper from PSA, similar to this one, under 3 when it was on sale. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-pa-9-gen4-10-5-9mm-1-10-nitride-12-slanted-m-lok-railed-upper-with-bcg-ch-5165450304.html

Permit holder intervenes in Dentist Office shooting near Kingsport
Omega replied to Ronald_55's topic in General Chat
While he may have stopped at the wife, luckily we will never know due to this permit holder doing his part. -
Precursor to the current boresnakes, nothing new under the sun.

Man, glad she walked away from that. How far off the road is that? Looks like she went deep into those woods.

IDK, I've been using a standard military cleaning kit for some time. I have a gamut of solvents and lubes, don't really have a favorite, they all seem to work ok, but I'm not in extreme weather/environments anymore. I do have a couple bore snakes, which work good for an expedient bore cleaning, but that is only when I don't want/need the cleaning rod. Now for my pellet rifle, I did get a one piece rod, the military one wouldn't fit the .177 bore.

I was a bit bored with it. Writers are getting lazy and not writing a complete episodes, too much time spent following one character (Negan last night), which is doing nothing. They could have at least had some excitement or surprising events happen to the character, but no, just run of the mill scenes.

Storage For Tools and Cleaning Kit
Omega replied to ShaggyRS6's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I use the fishing lure boxes, they come in a variety of sizes and prices. I purchased a fishing bag which comes with these, I keep all of them in there until I need to use them, one for my black powder weapons, another for standard rifles and guns. https://www.academy.com/shop/browse/outdoors/fishing/tackle-storage/tackle-binders--utility-boxes -
Actually, they do benefit the air rifle as some are quite noisy without it. I have a .177 air rifle that is almost as loud as a .22 firearm, I am definitely interested in getting a rifle with built in silencer to be able to dispatch pesky squirrels without letting the rest know.

What part of Texas? I've been out there, will probably go back sooner or later.

It's hard being an ammo pimp yo.

Right? I wonder if Bill Lee is paying attention???

Looks like the forerunner to the wienermobile.

Need to stop peeing in the pool I guess. I take it that man was responsible for all those hot jungles in prehistoric times as well, or did those Flintstone cars emit greenhouse gas too? On a lighter note, I'm glad hunting season is over, 17* would have been hard to hunt in, and I would.

You know, I'm ok with TN sales taxes. TN does not have a State Income Tax, so they have to get their revenue somehow. I wish the Feds would go that route as well, and I also wish the surrounding States would do so as well, much of our sales tax revenue crosses into the border states that are lower, if even just a little bit. I must admit, I shop KY when I can, because it is lower and it is so close, though I do make it a point to just do it for high ticket items. or when I am buying enough to make the trip worth it..

True, but as I said, way beyond MY comfort level for a piece of equipment that doesn't do better than a Harris, or cheaper unit.
-
Apparently they didn't think that enough.
-
Ummm, maybe I haven't graduated to this level of tacticool, but that's a bit rich for my blood.
-
Not me, I take everything into account, taxes and shipping included. Hell, I'll cross the street for 1¢ a gallon cheaper gas. I used to use Amazon quite a bit because of their free shipping, even if I had to spend the $25, then $35, to get it. Now, they roll that into the price, so I shop elsewhere unless they're competitive in price.

Sounds a bit like the 300 blackout, which now has dedicated mags.
-
I have both the wire hangers listed above, the single under the shelf and the one that holds one above and one below. I prefer the single as it seems heavier and leaves the shelf space for the extra mags and stuff.

With any luck you will be good for a bit, except for the new regs. There hasn't been one physically out of McNairy, yet.
