Yup. Astra.

Me either. :lol:

Most folks who use a credit card have no idea what they are doing. Credit card companies are a lot like Las Vegas. How do you explain all their big fancy buildings, employees, and advertising if they just simply give away free stuff?   You are correct that if you pay your balance in full each month, you do not owe any interest. Guess what.....most people don't.   I understood the op was wanting to get out of debt. I stand by my statement that a credit card isn't the way to do it.   Again, I have a credit card, and use it for convenience, as well as a layer of consumer protection when purchasing on the internet. I also have no debt. I'm not against them as a matter of religious belief, I just dislike seeing them take advantage of people who get in a tight spot, or simply don't know any better.   You do as you please. I was just offering the op some advice. He has debt he wants gone. I've eliminated debt from my life, and wanted to share some of how that happened. It wasn't with a credit card.

I firmly believe a shotgun should have two barrels, but the OP asked about a semi auto.

If the LCP isn't the perfect pocket pistol, I don't know what is.

They shoot great for what they are. I can't hit a barn standing in the hallway with a Colt Jr., but was quite surprised at the accuracy of the Vest Pocket model.

That would be great. Wonder where I could get a foot or two rather than a large roll?

If you look inside, there are nylon tie down straps with velcro on each end. I'd like a couple more to secure magazines in the case. Were could I buy some if these, or what would I call them in a google search?

I disagree. It might not fit society's idea of money management, but having a "good credit score" is horsefeces. Debt free is where it's at.   I don't have any payments, and pay no interest. Guess what? Because of that, I can fly anywhere I please anytime I please, and I don't need a stinking credit card to do it.   Credit means that you are buying crap you have no business buying, and paying for it, plus interest. How's that getting ahead?   As far as buying a house goes, you show up the the closing with nothing buy your checkbook, and nobody's going to care what your credit score is. You say that isn't feasible? Go to a mortgage lender with 20% down, and they don't care either. Local auctions carry non-qualifying terms with 15% down.   Bottom line: You have a credit score if you owe money. If you don't owe money, you may not have a high credit score, but you don't need credit either.

My wife owns a Beretta AL391 Urika. I don't fancy semi autos, and am not an authority on them, but this is a really nice,light, and reliable shotgun. Definitely worth a look if it's in your price range.

You are correct, but......the OP is wanting to shed debt and build a credit rating. He should pay cash. If he doesn't have cash, he doesn't buy it!   Screw a credit rating!   You and I are likely in a place where we can benefit a small bit from a credit card perk. It doesn't sound like the OP is.

So you are telling me that you've become independently wealthy with credit card perks? :ugh:   I have a card, and use it for convenience. I also pay the full balance monthly.   A lot of folks don't need a credit card, because they assume if the card still works, they still have money.

A friggin' credit card ain't going to get you where you want to be! :up:

WalMart deli, surprisingly enough, has pretty good fried as well as baked chicken. Their livers aren't bad either.   For home use, frozen the boxes of Banquet fried chicken are quite good.   None of this, however, begins to compare to the chickens my wife's grandmother used to kill and fry! :rock:

Popeye's is better in my opinion. :up:   The red beans & rice is really good.

That readyman stuff looks neat! Here's one with AR15 cleaning tools.     http://readymanstore.com/readyman-ar-15-cleaning-card/

Perhaps it's time to banish political and religious discussions from the board.   I can only speak for me, but no one here has changed my mind on either to any degree, and I seriously doubt I've gotten anywhere with changing anyone else's opinion either.   There's a lot of good people on this forum, but when I read a comments from a specific few on certain topics, I usually want to reach through the monitor and strangle them. :D

My 99 Savages have safeties, but no visible hammer.   The half cock position on the hammer hsda been safety enough for over 100 years on a Winchester or Marlin lever rifle.   The fellow told you correctly on how to cock the hammer without making noise.   The best safety for a gun is the one between your ears.

I bought a gun case on ebay last week. I see it left Memphis today headed for the black hole known as South Haven, Mississippi. :ugh: I've found that this isn't reassuring news. I'm glad it's a gun case and not a life saving device. :D   I never order anything I consider critical via mail, so I just sit back and enjoy the show.   LINKS2K, That's quite an impressive itinerary you have going on there. :dropjaw:

Won't be a problem. I'd like to see 100 lever rifles in the classified; even if I was selling one as well.

Do it yourself and you'll know it was done correctly.

Yeah. The price went up when Remington bought Marlin and dropped Marlin quality. Putting a safety on a lever rifle didn't help either.   If you think a 357 is high, price one in 41 magnum!!! :shake:

Well, Mariota certainly ain't no Jake Locker. :rofl:   I thought they looked good yesterday.

No, that would be the Second Amendment.   There is a lot of stuff going on in government that isn't legal or constitutional. It will get worse until someone does something about it.
