They were an often unrecognized extremely talented band. Incredible musicians imho. I saw them in London in the mid-1970's. They hookwinked the audience by playing as their own opening act as a high-heeled glitter metal rock band ! Then took off the costumes on stage and kicked butt as only Dr Hook and The Medicine Show could do. RESPECT! RIP and Thanks Ray.

That is flippin' awesome!

I know you ! and I'm a better person for it. Welcome A.J. You've made my day brother.

Security theater Doc... Only the law abiding are affected. Sad, isn't it?

Just received e-mail confirmation that my rebates were approved and payment should be mailed out in about 4 weeks. I'm happy! At least I received some communication and quite honestly much sooner than I anticipated. iirc I sent my paperwork/photos in on 12/2/18 Be watching your e-mails folks.

This makes no sense Matt. But Lots of policies make no sense to me. One of my shooting buddies back in New Orleans was a sworn officer, SD and on their firggin Tac Team. He wasn't allowed to carry a Spyderco Delica into a concert he was taking his wife to... I just shook my head...

There is sound logic afoot here and I too shall take this pledge! Thank you Raoul for opening this door.

What a truly excellent post hipower! I agree 100% with everything you said and feel very blessed to be a part of this community. Merry Christmas to you all. I know many here will be working tomorrow, as will I, but my thoughts and prayers are there for all of you. I hope everyone else can enjoy the time and fellowship with those they choose.

Well done GTG! I'm looking forward to seeing this new iteration. Sweet!

Welcome aboard!

I will verify that Mike is indeed alive and kicking...and very busy! Heck he was working last evening when I saw him. Great guy!

Any time that works for you my friend. Just let me know. It'd be good to hang out some and shoot the breeze as well.

I don't know the twist rate of your barrel my friend but I'll try and include a diagram that may help somewhat. Twist rates matter. My ancient 16" Bushmaster Dissipator (from the days before RDS) has a 1:9 twist and definitely favors 55 gr bullets. I get stupid good results with 55 gr handloads using H335 powder. I get reasonable and affordable accuracy from Wolf Gold 55 gr rounds. I'd be happy to give you a few boxes to try before you buy if you'd like AJ. I've run a metric buttload of Wolf, Tula, Barnul, etc through it in classes and training.... while the accuracy is satisfactory for practice those steel cased rounds are still quite mediocre.

Of course Shooter's Nation, but here's a few more. I'm an avid podcast listener as I download several at a time and listen to & from work each day. Civilian Carry Radio. Very professionally done and formatted with top notch guests. https://firearmsradio.tv/civilian-carry-radio/ Firearms Nation. Cop and competition centric...but very well produced. Bob Vogel, Brian Enos, Yong Lee...hell yeah! https://firearmsnation.com/firearms-nation-live-with-yong-lee/ The American Warrior show aka Seeklander: Kinda over the top with much bravado but some great guests nonetheless... http://americanwarriorshow.libsyn.com/ Ballistic Radio; Twas better when John Johnson still had a degree of humility about him, but worth the effort as he frequently has quality guests such as members of the Shivworks Collective... http://ballisticradio.com/

LOL. But she was only in her very early 20's back then. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was one of the original 5-6 VJ's when MTV kicked off. There were occasional music videos back in the late 70's (I remember Kate Bush on BBC-1), but they were rare. MTV was definitely innovative... alas that has sadly changed.

Kinda like this?

THE Q&A's at this listing inquire about shipping. Kinda funny actually. The weight is 354 pounds and obviously isn't inexpensive to ship. Brownell's says they contact you to discuss shipping...see below. The one review is what I find funny. I think the guy bought it more for the barrel than the ammo. Brownells:"We will call you to approve that cost after it is calculated using your zip code. Under 200 lbs can ship FedEx or UPS ground for $9.95. This weighs 354 lbs it will need to ship by truck and will cost the have to be calculated for the shipping. Unfortunately, this is not covered under any promo, such as those for free shipping or Edge program."

@Dirtshooter I agree 100% with your post. Our infrastructure repair and updating has been at the bottom our Elected Officials "To Do" list for some time now. The preparations we make and skills we learn (speaking of my family) are to only improve our day to day life situations and lessen our dependency on institutions and the 3 day JIT delivery systems in place. Even living in a subdivision we are still able to garden, therefore we've learned to can, dehydrate, and freeze (yes Virginia you need to prepare food for the freezer LOL) foods. I was just out this morning setting up our new Honda eu2200i gennie. Sweet and quite little sucker. Much quieter and easier to run that the work site Coleman Vertex we had for 18 years. We lost power for 9 hours last month due to winds. While I didn't mind a day without power, I love to read and we have several propane stoves and heaters, it'd still be nice to pop in a DVD if we choose. And going to the basement pantry to "shop" is kinda convenient. So while I hope, and Pray,a wide spread disruption isn't in our future, I hope to be able to maintain our lifestyle as close to "normal" as possible. Just my ever devaluing $.02 worth.

I din't know what the NOS stands for, and yes I could Google it... But these are in stock as I search at $74.99 each. https://www.desertfoxsales.com/Russian_AK_74_Izhmash_Plum_Magazine_p/dfs-500.htm

I find myself in the same pleasant predicament. And with .22 LR as well. It's not a bad place to be actually. I think I'll set the next panic buying spree (or two) out...

I was awake and at my desk when it rumbled through. I could certainly feel it and watched a calendar sway back and forth for a good bit. I've lived here 12 years and felt tremors before but this was certainly the strongest.

Yeah and I had to go dig my boxes out of the trash! I'll learn to read the instructions first the next time LOL. I submitted online 12/2 and of course they are still "pending review". I imagine they received an incredibly large amount of rebate applications. All in time...

Thank you Monkey. I'll look around. I like the idea of having one put back as well.

I intended to ask about a solar charger the when you posted this...then work happened LOL. Do you (or anyone) have a solar charger that would serve this purpose that you would recommend?

I don't know how long this sale will last, but Surefire has the Sidekick at $29.99 as I type this. That's a steal folks! https://www.surefire.com/sidekick.html
