  1. So did you just recognize it, or was it posted somewhere? I have looked at Seekins before at a shop, but it was just a run of the mill setup. I just had not seen one with that type of hand guard. Or maybe I just did not look close enough. I know I am not a fan of the camo, but the rest looked good.
  2. Yeah, I like how Carl took charge, but then where was he while the leader girl was holding a gun on Rick with her back to him??? Easy shot to save ole dad. Anybody recognize the camo AR Daryl was using? Looked cool.
  3. As nice as she looks there....man that nerd glasses look.....
  4. I saw an interesting way to add protein the the birds' diet from a guy on YouTube. He takes a bucket and punches some small holes in the bottom. Then he suspends it with a makeshift tripod. He puts in a layer of straw/hay. Then he puts in left over meat scraps (such as from the bird he just ate or butchered), then more straw. He keeps that up as meat scraps are available. He even said he picks up roadkill to add to it. Then as nature does its work, the flies leave eggs. When they hatch the maggots crawl out the bottom holes to be chick food. He says the straw keeps the smell contained and when the bucket is full he just dumps the clean bones and such out somewhere. He said his chickens love it and since the maggots are clean it does not have any type of potential health issues. This might be good to use in you contained run. I might suggest cracking open any bones if you can to get maximum benefit by letting the marrow be eaten out. You might also need several buckets set up at butchering time so that you do not waste the butchering scraps. Obviously this would not be a primary food, but would be a free way to augment it naturally. It also takes care of food waste that you can not add to the compose bin. If you got really ambitious, you might be able to hook up with a local butcher and keep a lot of buckets running. If you hunt things like the deer head that you are not going to use could be added too. I have wanted to try this, but my place and life does not lend itself to fowl. Another note: With Easter coming up, you might watch for people giving away fowl after the cute chick/duck phase wears off. Lots of people still give the dyed chicks and ducks to kids as Easter gifts. You might not have a choice of sex or breed, but it might help to add to your flock.
  5. I am hoping to see another shot at a $299 AR. Right now you can get ATI and Del-Ton ARs for $399 or so at grabagun all day long. I see all the local guys that were building and flipping ARs scrambling to sell their "cheapest parts I could find" ARs for $500. Some of those guys are gonna get burned for gouging people.
  6. My Papaw was a bee keeper. He usually had 5-10 hives. I remember walking through clouds of bees and I think I only ever got stung twice. Both were really my own fault. I don't mind honey bees at all, but yellow-jackets are my bane. I actually did a project in school with a 1 rack view hive. One of my Papaw's woodworking bee keeper buddies built it. It was all cedar and beautiful. I think my sister has it now. She cleaned it up and used it to display my Papaw's army uniform. This is what it was like, but only one rack high. If I remember correct he kept his hives on a piece of tin larger than the hive bottom by a few inches each way to limit ants crawling in. Ants and other bugs will wear down a hive if they keep at it. So what kind of trees and flowers do you have around for them?
  7. My dad has one of these. He bought it right at the factory shop in Knoxville. See if this looks right. http://www.keepshooting.com/m3-grease-gun-magazine.html
  8. You were not much behind me then. Things at my school really started to change the year after I graduated. My girlfriend was still a senior and I would go pick her up. They put up all kinds of new fences with barbed wire tops and started to get majorly an@l about stuff.
  9. We had Hunter Education in my middle school. Everyone was required to shoot a shotgun. I bet they don't do that now. I wish they did. kids would be safer about guns. I heard that the shop class guys did gun work when no one was looking too.
  10. Might be cheaper somewhere else, or need a different size based on what case you ordered. Or if you know someone with that foam that you spray in a bag and it hardens up around the item while in the box. Charcoal Pick & Pluck Foam - 2" x 10.5" x 14.5" $7.30 Density:0.9 lbs Per Cubic Foot Usage:This sheet of foam is pre-scored into tiny 0.5" x 0.5" cubes that can be plucked out to form the perfect shape for your packaging needs. https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/charcoal-pick-and-pluck-foam-2-inch-x-10-5-inch-x-14-5-inch-.htm?gclid=Cj0KEQjw2fLGBRDopP-vg7PLgvsBEiQAUOnIXPTEiRtwmwM3Fqg3zlTTEx4rSEUxY9oRdqWTjXygNkkaAi2l8P8HAQ
  11. I like the idea...already been done though..dang it. lol I would have though they would have gone with the one that has doors you open on a carousel so that there was no falling ammo. http://concealednation.org/2015/03/gun-range-has-ammo-vending-machine-installed-some-people-cry-about-it/
  12. I saw an old Pepsi machine converted that way for sale a few years ago. I always wanted to do that with a 50's era fridge my Dad had.
  13. Thanks for the input so far guys. I was using some of the smaller plastic ammo cans, but got tired of having so many. I did pick up one of these MTM ACR7-18 Ammo Crates. Their exterior dimensions are 17.2" x 10.7" x 9.2"(H). Packed full it can be kinda heavy, but easier to stack up. I keep expanding the calibers I have and I like to keep a decent amount for each. I wish I had room and money for something like this. It is a Liberty Ammo Can Safe. Runs $420 at Cabelas. 59-1/2"H x 24-1/4"W x 22"D
  14. So I know all you guys could fit the ammo you have in your house in a sandwich bag....lol So just curious how you would store your ammo if you had a decent amount. I am not real happy with my solution at the moment. I would like for it to be secure, but buying a safe just for ammo is probably not going to happen. Then there is protection from moisture. Not that I want to store it in an aquarium, but just to make sure my steel case does not rust. Also, having 25 ammo cans stacked up is not real handy if I need the bottom can. Plus space in my "armory" a.k.a. the garage is limited. So what do you guys use? Thanks in advance.
  15. Who was asleep while he broke into the case and limped out? I always love the quality of these pics. This guy could be 1/2 the guys I see every day.
  16. Wow, Any chance this is still hiding in your attic? I love the name...no way would it fly today. Lmap
  17. Thanks. As always you are a wealth of knowledge. I would have never known that.
  18. Just about. lol. I know I got the Campmaster frame pack, tent, buck knife, bow, bb gun, swiss army knife, hammock, canteen, hatchet, and cook kit. Probably more that I forget. I still have most of it. I was a motivated kid. Would you believe i was not the top seller though? I remember my Dad dropping me at the end of a street in a subdivision and he would pick me up at the other end. Then we would do the next street. I was chased by so many dogs, I can't remember them all. I met a lot of nice people though. Lots just gave me the money and said keep the ticket. Sadly, no way would I do that with my kids now. Too many crazies.
  19. Guys Just thought I would update you. I did get that Taurus Model 94 Ultra-lite Nine. I ran 50 rounds through it and was really pleased. The sights are good, it feels good in my hand, and works like a charm. This model does have to hammer key lock, but I will probably never set it. I did get the keys and manual with it but no box. I am pleases for now, but I have decided I need a SR22 also. I will probably get the 3.5" threaded barrel model just in case the whole HPA goes through. I wish the 4.5" model came in a threaded barrel.
  20. I found this in some stuff my Dad brought up to me. This was my banner year in Cub Scouts. I think I sold 1296 tickets. Take a look at the prizes. BB Guns, Pellet Guns, hatchets. a Bow set, and Knives. These were the good old days when you did not get a plastic Frisbee or drawstring backpack for fundraiser prizes. Some parents would go ape sh!t if this was the prizes they used today. Also at the bottom it says if you sold the most tickets in the Council you got a free Disney Trip. Also shows sponsored by Ogles Water Park up in the corner. Simpler times.....
  21. So if a Molotov Cocktail is a destructive device, then I could be arrested for carrying around a oil soaked rag and a bottle of whiskey in the same vehicle or on my person.....
  22. Just got an email saying that Grabagun has the TAURUS 709 SLIM for $185. Regular price is $329. http://grabagun.com/taurus-709fs-9mm-7rd-3-bl-1-mag.html
  23. Sorry to hold you guys in suspense. Work has made me crazy lately. I did get to handle one in a store and it seemed easier to rack than mine. Unfortunately, it was too busy in the shop to pop the slide off to compare to the spring I have in mine (no idea if I could visually tell the difference anyway). That is as far as I have been able to go with the 12 to 14 hour days at work. I still plan to strip it and clean it totally. Not sure if that will end up making any difference.
  24. These Marines must have watched Heartbreak Ridge recently. Lol. Good work on both sides.
