My Home Defense AR is pistol length, and .300 BO. Current first mag is 205gr Sig Crown sub-sonics.

Thanks for taking them in. People are (mostly) disgusting. They look precious.

A "best handgun" thread crawls out of the grave after 13 years. Might be some kind of record....
Cheers,

Some of us weren't around here 13 years back. LOL! Compact 45 is my favorite subject. I'm watching two different models on GB now. Some of the comments were interesting but the best advice was the one that fits you best.

If they had told my Wife we need to move, that wouldn't be an option. A thinly veiled threat is still a threat. I've given my opinion of how to legally fix the situation. I wouldn't have handled it like that after the threat, but I would have removed their ability to hunt my land.
Threatening my wife would get one evicted from my AO to be sure.to say I'd go to war for her is an understatement. I do understand the dynamic of the area though. I personally wouldn't offer any compromise, just a suggestion for a more tolerant person. At this point, lots of concertina wire would crisscross my property, it could easily be pulled back for the livestock. And I am not advocating that anyone do what I would as I'm intolerant and unforgiving.

Wow, you are more tolerant than I. Which knowing history is a very good thing I would have to believe. Sad to re-enforce that you will always be an outsider but it's true. I would have to believe that if they are hunting your property that often it is harassment. Especially being close to your house. I believe you will have to go to the state level to get any satisfaction. Sorry for your trouble and best of luck.
Adding this and I don't know if it would work. Offer to trade time allowing them to coon hunt specific dates in exchange for taking care of your coyotes and varmints.

So my latest acquisition in the realm of lever guns is a Marlin model 1889 born in 1890. Octagonal barrel, chambered in the venerable.44-40. Looks to be all original. She is old but still shoots straight. The condition was a bit more rough than I thought it would be (the auction photos were dark), but a little TLC to the wood and some gentle work on the barrel and she looks better. The barrel and receiver are mostly now a dark brown patina (rust). The barrel was a little rough. Not wanting to hit it with sandpaper which could round the edges of the octagonal barrel, I took a chance and ran a Case Knife oil stone up and down the barrel flats with lots of oil, it worked like a charm.
Nice score! Have you ever tried a fingernail polishing board? I've had two of the three sided nail polishing boards, wore one out though not all on firearms. A little gun oil and a light touch. I have a baby Browning with a rusty backstrap I wish I could use them on.

Merry Christmas to all!

Why would you think that looking for deals was not enjoyable?
Merry Christmas to all.

Looks great, the older you get the harder it is to crawl under a vehicle but a tractor isn’t too bad yet.
ahh, getting under I can do. Getting OUT from under is another story entirely.
congrats on the new lift!!-

Nothing surprises me anymore. I'm saddened but not surprised. Sorry that it hit so close to you.

That's great! I can't do much of anything with wood, it hates me.

Great pair. I have a hard time picking a favorite let alone second. Like picking a favorite child.

I'd have to argue that those who only have a birthday every 4 years on average live just as many years as those who have a birthday every year.
yes, I like to argue trivial statistics

Still on my first, and after thirty five years I wouldn't know what to do without her.
She's been with me over 20 years. Spoils me rotten, and she doesn't say anything ever about me buying guns. If I could ony get her interested in shooting!
And I wouldn't know what to do without her.

You dad burn right, I know who wears the pants in my family. Sometimes I want her to get in them.
Mine has a good sense of humor. I have 3 ex wives so I know what not to do. LOL

Congratulations! I've been on Ozempic for a while now, My blood sugar was ok on my old meds but I was having issues with it. Ozempic has controlled my A1C and I've dropped 60 lbs. Of course part of that was thyroid. I do feel better, amazing what shedding a little weight does.

You have my deepest sympathy. I know how hard it is and remembering what was good is the best medicine. God bless.
What Ammo do you have in your HD AR mags?
in Handgun Carry and Self Defense

I have supersonic ammo for mine but it hates it. Blows the grouping out to unacceptable spreads. Subsonic is what I depend on, the rest is just range junk for me. The SIG ammo groups well so when I find it I buy it. I hate paying the premium but oh well.
