Ima and Youra Commie Chump!!! Think about it. leroy

My favorite so far!! Spend big on rifle (...especially the hard kickers -- 7 mag/300 Win. Mag and up...); save money with BB gun scope! Another great one by Deerslayer: Keep up the good work! Leroy

Mike:_____________ You may want to take a look at the round freefloat handguards. You can put a small peice of rail where you want it and leave the rest of the handguard for your hand, and not spare rail. I like the free floats. I believe they are the best accuracy improver you can do to a non-precision AR (...or any other rifle, for that matter...). RE: Saving money. I agree, we have done a couple or AR's. The great thing is that you get what you want. Keep up the good work! Kind reagrds, leroy

This is great advice for anyone who loads ammo that needs to go off every time you pull the trigger (....hunting, SD, etc. ...). The surest way to get ammo PROPERLY PRIMED is with a hand primer. PS-- i fully agree those who opine that .005 is a miniscule oal difference with the reloaded ammo. Dont worry about it. Thanks for posting this great info. Kind regards, leroy

Glad to have ya brother!!! Kind regards, leroy

Take a look at the Walther PPS. They are made in bothe 9mm and 40s&w. They are a well made and reliable pistol. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

Me too!! Thanks for posing this! Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

Some great wisdom in this post. Especially the words about the "perfect candidate". There aint any. RE: Ron Ramsey:____________ I have hesitated greatly to say this; but i believe it is worth consideration. Could it be possible that Haslam used Ramsey as a willing accomplice to split the Republican Primary vote in order to beat "Stateline" Wamp in this primary in exchange for his (...Haslam's...) backing sometime down the road (...say after two Haslam terms as governor....)? I don't want to think that because i like Ramsey on a personal basis; and there is no way to know for sure; but politics is a dirty business. Dont discount the possibility. It has happened before. Food for thought. Leroy

Good advice. We always used Balistol (...it must be a water soluble vegetable type oil...). Dont use a petroleum based oil with black powder/pyrodex type powders. They will make a hard fouling that you will have to work hard to get rid of. We always used bore butter soaked patches under the bullet (...or ball..) in our percussion revolvers. To clean after shooting; we always scrubbed with a mixture of equal parts of water, non ammonia windex, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide (...got this recipe from the North-South Skirmish website--- dont know what the hydrogen peroxide is for. ....); dried the bore, and wiped it down with balistol. We always swabbed the nipples with the same cleaning mixture and wiped them dry with pipe cleaners. PS: I think rabatatoo is right about this too. Black powder shoots better and doesnt choke you to death with the nasty fumes from the black powder substitute stuff. Black powder also cleans up better. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

Conrad and all:___________________ Here is a link giving some historical data on the 257 Roberts. It is probably the greatest of the 25 caliber wildcats. Link here: Nazarian. I remember when the 257 came out in the Ruger 77, along with the 7X57 Mauser round. There was great excitement in the "real rifleman" (...no bazooka calibers or weatherbys; these were guys that actually shot their rifles on a regular basis ---target or hunting....) world about the indtroduction of these old time cartridges. When Bill Ruger was alive, Ruger did a great job of publicizing their production and mixing it up with the great old calibers. The 7 X 57 and the 257 Roberts were two of their best offerings. As I remember, they did them both in bolt action and single shot versions (...Ruger 77 and Ruger #1...). Enjoy your Roberts, it is a great thing. Kind regards, Leroy

Aaron:___________ Got the same problem myself. I dont like shoulder holsters, they can get uncomfortable. That being said; I carry a glock 33 in an Allen Miller kydex pocket holster (.... link here: Welcome to Aholster ...) in the hip pocket (...or front pocket...) of my dungarees (...shorts or long pants...). When i wear khakis or dress pants, i carry a sig 238 in a D. M Bullard roughout leather front pocket holster. They both work very well. By the way, im a gimped up 5ft 8in --300 lb round man who wears his clothes a bit loose. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

Dont worry about the UN. They are only in to stealin money, passing it around to dictators, and murdering and raping defenseless women and children in third world countries where the men have all been murdered off and the populace is too weak to resist. They didnt enforce the peace between Hezbolla and Israel in the south of Lebanon and they aint commin over here to enforce the "rights of the child" either. Leroy

Amen brother! Whatta truth!!! The founders did not want us to trust our government. They knew you couldnt trust it. Government needs to be watched and controlled. That's why you never allow government to take up your arms, no matter what the precieved justification or pretense. Unarmed citizens are serfs; armed citizens are, in fact citizens who can enforce their rights if necessary; including self defense (...even against agents of their own government...). Remember the Ambrose Bierce quote: "...There are four boxes protecting America, the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box." He was a very insightful man. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Leroy

I fully agree. This has been going on for a pretty good while. There is a very powerful faction in the Demorat party (...and a few in the Republican party; sadly...) that has been working mightily to make everyone ignorant and poor (...just like serfs...) in this country; and to create a "privledged class" of insiders who run the "Socialist Workers Utopian Dream" state. Nobama is just the latest incarnation of them. I doubt they will succeed. We are still armed and have the vote. Keep up the good work. Leroy

Jeff:_____________ Got one comming on a custom 450 Bushmaster. I like the YHM stuff because it is steel. They make an excellent product at a good price. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

Folks:_______________ Dont worry about this: These folks (...for the most part...) are the sons and daughters of Tories who wouldnt fight their British brothers in the Revolutionary War and were too timid to help their Colonial brothers either. I aint too worried about them now. Both our societies (...American and Canadian...) are too feminized now to do much killing and pillaging. If the "New World Order" tough guys want real help, they better do the "Red Dawn" thing and get them some good ole comunist latino guys like Daniel Ortega's boys. I say:"...come on down boys; lets see what ya got! ...". Come up on the ridge and hunt us country boys down! "Hillside" Leroy

Greg has some great advice here. The only problem is that the old Ithaca 37's have become somewhat of a collector's item in some locations, and may bring a bit too much money for what they are. That being said, the Browning BPS is a great shotgun (...the greatest pump manufactured now, i think...). They are ultra smooth (...what the revered Winchester model 12 should have been...), eject to the bottom (...a great feature, especially for lefties...), are extremely well built, and dont cost an arm and a leg. There are lots of 'em out there. Take a look at the "lightly used" models. I like (... and used to shoot...) both. For a pump shotgun, they (...the Ithaca 37 and the BPS...) are the kings of the recent pump shotguns (...my all time favorite is the great Winchester 1897 hammer pump; the original "trench sweeper" and king of the duck blind!!...). Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

Red:______________ My two cents worth: I really like the remington 870, the mossberg 500, and the browning bps. They are all great shotguns, no matter the model. Look around at all of them. Pick the best deal. Dont be afraid to buy a "lightly used" one either. By the way, load it with #4 buck or larger. I load 2 rounds of #4 buck and the rest with 00 buck. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy (...with a Winchester model 12 riot pump (...lightly used, lovingly cared for...) in the corner and a 12 gage browning bps (22 inch barrel...) next to the bed...)

Dear Think:_____________ Model 15 has target (...adjustable...) sights; but is 38 special. They are good ones. The others are fixed sights. I like 'em all. Kind regards, leroy

Graycrait gives some great advice here: We are revolver guys. Done lots of shooting with smiths similar to these. Learn to shoot DA; that's what these guys were made for. They are fast, accurate, tough, and dead reliable. Every pistolero should own one. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

Folks:_______________ A few things to think about. First I agree with the idea that we have freedom of religion in this country; and that this freedom is guranteed by the Constitution. That means freedom to practice any religion, so long as the tenants and practices of that religion do not violate existing law (...e.g. -- child sacrifice, temple prostitution --- you get the picture...). That means that Islam, which I believe is both a religious and political world view can be practiced anywhere there are followers who gather together for worship. This brings us to the issue of the "Ground Zero" Mosque. Those who oppose the choice of this specific location of this project should buy the ground zero property. That is the best way to stop any project (...religious or otherwise...) which requires a real estate location. This has the effect of diverting that particular location to the uses of the owners. The government (...both federal, local, and state...) should stay out of the mosque location issue. All that being said; there is no doubt in my mind that the secret sponsors of radical Islam (...read that the Saudis and other oil sheik nations that we do business with...) are working mightily behind the scenes to give the nutty among their fiefdoms a tangible token of the "Victory of Islam" over the USA (...whether it is, in fact, a victory or not...). I believe that "token" or shrine is the proposed Ground Zero Mosque. If those parties that are interested in this issue wish to stop this project; land purchase is the solution. No courts, no political arguments (…and demagoguery…), no constitutional issues, no nothing except dollars to buy the property. My guess is that since that since the oil fiefdoms have plenty of money and that the folks who own the ground zero property worship the god of money, this aint going to happen. That means that the nutty will get their shrine, and New Yorkers will get a new mosque. Either way, I would much prefer no meddling in the constitutional issues in regard to freedom of religion and property rights. Remember, folks generally get what they ask for. Oh, by the way, I think it is great that Nobama and other foolish polititians are talking about this; even endorsing it. They are busy making more and more people mad about this. I say, never interupt your enemies while they are digging their own graves and making making more enemies out of former friends. I say; "Keep talking!!!". Food for thought. Leroy

Dear fellow opiners:_____________ I have read with great interest, amusement, and a bit of sadness the opining and musings of our brother and sister TGo’rs in regard to the recent results of the Tennessee Republican Gubernatorial Primary. I, like many of you, did not like the outcome of this race. Bill Haslam is my least favorite candidate. I have read with interest the pronouncements of those who say the process was rigged and those who have vowed to do write in candidates in the general election, not vote in protest of the poor candidate(s), or even vote Demorat to “teach the Republicans a lessonâ€. This issue of “protesting the vote†brings me to the subject of this little essay. First of all, I (…like many of you…) would have preferred that my pet candidate have won this primary; but, sadly, he didn’t. That is the reality of things. I really like Ron Ramsey, because I prefer to think that he is a good man who has thought thru what he believes and who is willing to both articulate those principles and stand up for them if necessary. I also think that about my ole pet “State-Line†Wamp. Sadly, I do not think that about Bill Haslam. I think that Haslam has not thought deeply about what he believes on a personal level about freedom, the role of government, ect.; because he has not talked much about those things in other than general platidunious terms. There are two possible reasons for this silence; the first is that he has not taken the time; the second is that he does not want us to know them. My fear is that he may rely on others to do this thinking for him (…many politicians do…) and to form his opinions on the issues that are near and dear to all of us here. Whatever he has chosen to do, he has kept it a well-guarded secret. I fear that he has borrowed a page from the old Howard Baker playbook and has carefully avoided saying anything other than he will do the right thing. The fact is that we simply don’t know what he believes. Having said all these things; all this opining and analysis is over; Haslam is, in fact, the Republican Gubernatorial candidate who will stand in the general election. He will run against a Demorat Gubernatorial candidate; most likely McWerter. The big question for each of us then becomes: Who will you vote for? The choice for me is easy – I WILL vote for Haslam. I simply will not vote for any Demorat. Why then, would a gun toting Radical Libertarian like myself say such a thing? Why would I not do a “protest vote†or do a “write-in†for someone other than these two lothesome candidates who do not represent my perfect ideal of what the “right candidate†should be? Why would I not keep my dignity and my core beliefs in tact by voting for such a Philistine as Haslam? The answer is simple, here it is. I fully understand what Mike McWerter is and I do not like anything that he believes nor do I prefer any of the policies he would implement. McWerter is a Demorat –pure and simple. He would be Phil Bredesen’s third term (…or worse…) if elected. If you didn’t like Bredesen; my opinion is that you sure won’t like McWerter. McWerter may be far more like Cohen than “Uncle Philâ€. That realization should sober everyone up. He has already said that he supports many of these things that we as a group are against. That being said, why would anyone vote for another Bredesen (…or worse; you know, it can be worse! …)? As has been stated above, we simply don’t know about Haslam. Let us hope that he gets the message, grows a backbone, and grows into the job. He is at least a capitalist. Everyone needs to consider that American politics is, from bottom to top, a “winner takes all propositionâ€. Governance at all levels is determined by which group (….read that political party….) is in the majority. This “majority†then dictates what issues will be debated and ultimately voted into law. It also determines what odious policies (…like prohibiting going armed…) will be reversed. It determines what fiscal policies will be followed (…read that taxation—income tax…, etc. …), what policies will be implemented, and ultimately how the citizens will be governed. There are those that have said; “Why not a third party?†I (…like many of you…) like the third party idea, but I do not think it is time for it yet. I say let’s give the Republicans another shot. What, you say, is the reason for this thinking? Simple; third parties are not very successful (…although I will concede that if the Republicans don’t straighten up, it will become viable….). The fact is that the Republicans had better take heed to what most folks are saying and mend their ways. If they do not, they will simply morph into the Demorat party (….Demorat “liteâ€â€¦), fade away, and be replaced by a third party. The fact is that politics and the political process in general are fraught with problems and shortcomings, and the Tennessee Republican party is not immune to them. However, it is my firm belief that these “problems and shortcomings†are much preferable to having men such as McWerter and his Demorat buddies calling the shots here in our home state. The Demorat party as it is currently constituted is the worst of the worst that can come from politics, and folks would do well to remember that. It is about three months until the general election. During this three months a ton of lies and a little bit of truth will flood the airways, telephone lines, and the print media concerning who these two men are and what they stand for. I would much prefer having Haslam and a conservative state legislature than I would McWerter. Those are the two choices. There aint a third option. If you don’t vote, write-in vote, or protest vote; you are voting for McWerter and the Demorats. I don’t think that is what you want to do. Food for thought.
