  1. And you're all racists!
  2. I'll be over at 3ish.
  3. Well, I had to fire a long-term employee today. But I also received a package of AR parts including some bits I didn't order & wasn't charged for.   50/50 so far.   Let's see what happens later.....
  4. Thanks for the help guys, I've decided to forgo the luxury of a red dot & go with a basic set of irons. At last the battery won't run out! :)
  5. I even have the original ramped front, taller blade installed & sighted with the Skinner. It's included :D
  6. I've had a Skinner sight installed on my 336/.44 It requires a taller front sight, but it's by far & away the best you can get.......and it's for sale ;)
  7. Aaaaalrighty then.....2/3 irons, 1/3 budget reflex.   Recommend me some irons? :) (gas block, not rail)
  8. So, for the newbie EBR owner on an extreeeemely tight budget (like under $100 tight) can anyone recommend me a sight for fast target aquisition?   I've bought a flat-top upper for my AR & I have no sights. At some point I'd like to throw on a set of flip-up sights (would this be a better option?) but I kinda like the idea of a non-magnifying, fast to point sight.   It's pretty much a range queen that I can let a friend's kid shoot (I'll probably end up banging off a round or two....) instead of him trying to shoulder the gun as-is with a 20" stainless bull barrel & scope. I reckon it'd serve for home/livestock defense too, so long range isn't important.   Obviously I'm on a hugely limited budget, but I don't want to go with the God-knows-what-I'm-buying Chiwanese EBay special.
  9. Who do you think is looking for you? :tinfoil:
  10. Done.
  11. I'm laughing about it now, but it took a couple of hours for my color to come back & the shaking to stop. The Wife, a non-gun person if ever there was one, thinks it's funny as all hell! Stupid is as stupid does, but stupid only does stuff like this once.
  12. I often practice trigger drills with my rifles. I like to be as familiar with all of my guns as humanly possible before I take them out hunting. Well, today was the turn of the trusty old '94 I unloaded it this morning (It's the ONLY rifle I keep loaded up, due to our coyote problem) & put it back in the safe. I know I unloaded it because I was there when I did it. So, when I grabbed it just now to practice, I KNEW it was unloaded........

The Wife thinks I'm an asshat. You think I'm an asshat & honestly, I agree with all of you. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHECK, DOUBLE CHECK & THEN RE-CHECK ANY FIREARM BEFORE YOU PULL THE TRIGGER!!! Thankfully all that was damaged was my hunting room window, the jeep & my shorts.
  13. I wanna buy this, just to meet the guy! http://enid.craigslist.org/cto/4119280944.html%3C/div%3E
  14. Dayum! That'd tow a two story house up a three story house!
  15. Funnily enough I just got done packing for a Florida hog whomping. I also choose my clothing with a mind to carrying extra gear, if necessary. Pant HAVE to have generous pockets. I've packed out a 60# hog, boned out, in my pants pockets before now! I also carry a cheap, Wally World 'packable day-pack' IN my pack. It weighs under 3oz & folds to the size of a baseball. I can throw that on with my fanny pack for an exta 22l of carrying space if I need to. Stuffed with dry grass, it also makes an excellent pillow/seat ;) Here's what's in my pack.... (again, knife & leatherman on my belt)   2, 1l bottles of water Water purification tabs 2 Bic lighters Ferro rod Large folding knife 6, 1gal ziplock bags 1, 39gal trash bag microfiber towel 20 Ibuprofen 20 Tums Chewing gum 25' paracord GPS Compass 6 safety pins 2 spare broadheads + 1 blunt (replace with 5 rounds of whatever caliber if rifle hunting) 6" file Diamond stone snacks as needed Thermacell + refills + 100% deet Packable day pack. Slingshot & 30 .40 lead balls (I get bored :) )   This lot can keep me in the woods for upto 3 days, in a nice climate (& it has a couple of times!) & weighs in at a shade under 8 pounds. It all fits nicely in a Cabelas Guide System fanny pack, with room to haul out the meat of one, average sized, boned out hog.
  16. Wow, y'all carry a bunch of stuff! Knife's on my belt, as is my Leatherman. In my pack/stand bags are: Deer drag Bow hanger Screw-in step 2 bottles of water Pack of gum Flashlight. If I'm hunting hogs, say in Florida our Texas, there's a LOT more I carry, but that's my regular deer stuff. Never needed anything else!
  17. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tipping_tooting   ^^^ This.
  18. I was shooting my AR a couple of weeks back & it sounds (through my ear defenders & tinnitus) like a sack of springs being kicked down stairs. I can't recall it sounding like this before, but I honestly haven't shot it much. It had the A2 buttstock (if that means anything) & it sounds like the buffer spring, but I'm so unfamiliar with the platform I'm only guessing. Any clues? If anyone is local to Tullahoma & needs to shoot it to hear it, you'd be welcome to run it at the range &see what you think.
  19. Gen2 19. Can't imagine anything much better.
  20.   The guy advertised it on Franklin Co. Buy, Sell, Trade on Faceache for $1000. The pics he'd posted were about 3 years old, when it was last roadworthy. When I got to his address he took my out to the back field, told me he'd take $800 & threw me the key to his backhoe! 4 new tires, fresh oil, coolant in the radiator, 5 gallons of gas & a new battery later (along with judicious application of a steam cleaner) & I drove it 19 miles home!   Right now it's sat at H&T Offroad in Tullahoma getting a few 'tweeks' Nothing major. It's already had a 2½" lift (the original springs had been reversed, now replaced) & it's running a pretty sporty little 350 Katana through the standard 3-speed box. It still needs a wiper setup, speedo cable, fuel & temp gauges & 'cosmetics' but I'm half tempted to leave it looking rough as a bear's ass.
  21. Meh. Won't work.   I played pro-paintball for a few years back in the UK (Actually, my first visit Stateside was to play paintball...) & the guns we had set up had a trigger upll weight of about 2 oz. The trigger on a paintball gun is more correctly just a switch. They all (well, 99% of 'em) work on tiny microswitches. There's no recoil to worry about, no mechanical friction of a sear & absolutely zero creep or overtravel. Most triggers, when correctly tuned, only move the tiniest fraction of an inch & the only spring pressure is that of the switch itself.
  22. '72 CJ5 here... This is her, 20 minutes after I dug here out of the previous owner's back field.... [URL=http://s4.photobucket.com/user/robtattoo/media/ResizedImage951376168882588_zpse694d663.jpg.html][/URL]
  23. Goon, A River Runs Through It & Moneyball. Can't make my mind up which is my fave from those 3!
  24. I had trouble with fully flat wadcutters in my .357/.38 too. Everything else fed fine. I also have feeding trouble with my .45lc, if the C.O.A.L. is a thou over the standard 1.6"
  25. Tenkara. THE most relaxing form of fishing known to man.
