I like the nose dive we are seeing in prices still. Maybe I can afford to actually buy some good stuff.

Is it just me, or does anyone else look at these and think they would be a great frame to build a raised platform shelter on in a grid down senerio?

Just looking to get a few more rounds and I see Cabela's now has the .223 in a "HotShot" brand. It is on sale for $4.49 for 20. Looks like typical Russian stuff, but that is a darn good price. Plus shipped to me it is no tax and over $99 is free shipping. makes it out the door to be $0.2245. Does not say polymer or lacquer coated, but I bet it is the latter. Curious, so I looked at 9mm. They have it $8.49 for 50. Look like the ammo only comes in .223, 9mm, .308 and (very oddly) 8x57 Mauser. Anyone tried this or have an idea of the maker? Ordering from Cabela's is cheaper for me than Academy due to tax savings, but normally Academy beats them on price anyway. I know there are a few slightly cheaper places out there, but I have a gift card to both places right now, so that makes up for it. Looks like ammunitionstore.com has some Wolf WPA that is .21893 when you buy 1000 and pay shipping.

I remember scraping to save enough to but a used set at a repair shop. The washer sounded like a rhino trying to bust out but sure beat laundromat costs EVERY week. Hopefully you find a worthy recipient and that Karma will return the favor when you need it most.

I have attended a few over the last few years. I always park at Sunbelt Rentals at 3022 US-19, Bluff City, TN 37618. I think they just moved, but someone will be selling parking there. It is very close to the track and I think was $25 last time. If they are full, Lady Equipment Co. at 3077 Hwy 11 E, Bluff City, TN 37618 is just a little farther away and has a huge lot. These are on the Johnson City side of the track. There is a hill to walk up to get to the gates, but I think the other side is about the same. I recommend getting there early and just hang out. It makes parking so much easier. When you leave from either place, take a left away from the track and things will thin out some. Juse don't be in s hurry anyway. Also, unless you are driving back, you may want to look for a hotel ASAP. They fill up early. If you can drive back to Knoxville, it might get better. Enjoy!

Might be interested, but depends on what exactly is offered and if prices are reasonable. I have seen a few of these things setup. It can be really nice.

Welcome. Glad to see another NE TN resident.

I thought this was interesting when I saw it. Made by the New York City Police Department in 1997. Be sure you do not wear an over sized or mismatched coat when you CCW so no one can spot it. lol

That is a possibility. That is how I got my latest upper. I found a good deal on a used full upper with a 7.5 inch barrel. I bought it and swapped on my 16 inch barrel and hand guard. Then I sold off the barrel and hand guard to recoup some of my money.

While they do sound good to most people in principle, I agree that they do not work. Criminals do not go into a store and buy off the shelf. Other than that they can recruit "clean" buyers to do straw purchases and then move the guns out of state so that connecting them is harder. The "clean" buyer can report a theft if they want a record of them no longer having the gun. They could even buy a few and take care of them all on one "theft" On top of this, lots of guns recovered from crimes are stolen from legitimate owners. There is no way for background checks to stop either of these. On the other side, if a person goes in to buy a gun that is then used in a "crime of passion", that person passed the background check at the time because they had no outstanding issues. So that did not deter that issue. So while background checks for private sales might have a positive impact, the amount would be very small. Basically it would simply generate more income for the government via the charge for background checks with very little in return. I think the energy would be best used to stop the smuggling of weapons into the country by criminal networks. I can guarantee those weapons have a 500 times larger chance to be used in a violent crime than the gun sitting on the shelf at a LGS.

I wonder what he did with the AR? Maybe someone could buy both as a package deal. lol

Someone less nice than me might be tempted to set up an Armslist ad for him......

Wow he looks like an a$$wipe. And no way 80% of any evenly diverse group is really for something...How about you ask in some other parts of the state. Can I come buy it, then promptly resell it without a back ground check. Lol On another note....I have that same lemonade pitcher.

But everyone can pull head shots on walkers with no sights....

I like how Negan is flipping us off as he frowns and somehow aims without looking in the scope. No wonder no one on this show ever has a decent hit average on humans.

If the lock has a number or letter/number combo on the face, you can probably have one made. Lots of locksmiths can cut from the number. It is possible that an online place like easykeys.com might be able to also. They do mostly office cabinets and such though.

JoeCorrado - Ok I figured you had to have seen it before. No wonder companies want their products in hit shows. Some people will buy anything just to look like the people on the show. MP5_Rizzo - Yeah I had looked at imfbd already for the info. No idea how often they update either. I had seen the one from earlier seasons. I think there was way too much build up for this to end it in one episode. And what are the chances that both the Kingdom and Hilltop arrive within a minute of each other??? I really think they are riding the show's success too much and skimping on the details. That is usually the death of a popular long running show.

Would be a nice setup, but space prevents me from doing that. At least for now. A guy I work with told me he uses a rolling tool chest, but that falls into the same issue. Bottom line is that I just need more garage space.....That is not happening any time soon. Sucks, but it is the way it is.

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.

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.

As nice as she looks there....man that nerd glasses look.....

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.

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.

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?

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
