Tower, unless you have a degree in Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering, you don't know what you think you know.
J.
Nah, I don't claim to know all that stuff. I just know a leetle Engrish..I red the riting on the tube of greese
-
heh. I don't think I STOPPED talking. it was just so good to see you guys again. I was happy as a dog with 8 tails to see you folks!
Cody, I'm gonna miss ya pal. keep your head on a swivel and come home when you can.
You will do well and I can't think of a finer young man to serve. I still have quite a few folks that are active. give me a holler if you ever need a unit to hang your hat, I make no guarantees, but I can ask a couple of folks that I know..master sgts, 1SG's and heck, I even know a few officers that I'm friendly with..go figure.
Dan, as usual, I always enjoy seein ya man...you're like a brother from another mother
Mike.357? hahahah well..all I can say is that I'm truly home. Seeing ya again reinforced that I'm home, among good friends and good people.
and of Course, Titan, tell Lisa that Julie totally enjoyed talking with you guys...she doesn't get out much and she knows few folks around here...so you were like an oasis in the desert for her.
Bubba, I hope you had fun shooting..I enjoyed to also! I Shot more today than I normally do when I am the RSO. That's some nice shooting with the .22's!
your keen eyes did the trick with those tight groups!
Don't take my disparaging of your HK pistols to heart...I'm partial to JMB's work..(more like I'm a JMB snob..)
Everyone else? guys the worst thing I could say is that it was a total pleasure.
That is the best way to spend my memorial day. amongst good friends, with great food and good conversation.

I got up this morning to find the little air pressure sensor going off in the jeep...which normally means one of my tires are low or high on air.
I get out the old air gauge and find that my left front tire is running at 24 pounds of air..NOT the optimum for this vehicle.
So, I go to put air in it and the top quarter part of the valve breaks off...(held on by the valve stem inside the valve..)
Now I'm at a loss...so when 9 am comes around I'm calling tire places...did you know that it's a federal law that if your vehicle has a tire pressure sensor in the wheel, they cannot replace it with a valve stem?
the sensor has to be bought (it's a part of the valve stem) and installed in the hub.
these things are between 30 and 80 dollars and tire companies don't carry them.
*sigh* so after a bunch of thought, I simply put the spare tire on. I'll take that one to a private tire company and have them put in a regular valve stem until I can get the money to go buy a sensor.
8.50 versus 80.00.
all because some jackass can't check his tire pressures, and car manufacturers want that guaranteed paycheck.
I'm heading to the shoot now, it's 10.15 already though.

I just want you to understand that "for modern firearms" and "for black powder firearms" really is two entirely separate things.
After all, diesel fuel is made for "internal combustion engines", but wouldn't work too well in a gasoline engine, nor would gasoline work in the diesel.
The problem isn't necessarily what the grease leaves behind, so much as it is what will those leaving do when combined with what BP leaves behind.
J.
Oh yeah, I got a class on that when I got my pistol. I also learned a bit through reading stuff on the internet and from Mike .357...he's a bit of a BP fanatic.
-
Knock that crap out'a your head.
Is it made for BLACK POWDER?
And yes, BP really is a whole different animal.
J.
it actually DOES work with black powder
It doesn't give off any dangerous odors when it's burned, doesn't seize up or turn gooey..but I change it every time I clean my pistol.The last time I fired my pistol was at the bp shoot we had the other year, I fired quite a bit with no troubles.
it cleaned up and still turns beautifully..I know, you guys made me want to check it last night.
-
Does burnt tesla grease produce any toxic by-products? ( Another thing one has to consider. )
Some of that stuff can leave behind all sorts of arsenic and/or cyanide compounds...
J.
nah, it's made for rifles. I actually use it for all my modern rifles also.
-
Oh man...you're KIDDING!! Danno, I swear...I leave Tn, for a year and you go all girly man on me...
Just kidding..those guys do some FREAKY stuff!!!
at least they did when I was in. I dunno what they do now..
I hope ya like it.
-
ONE modern grease (tesla grease) has worked pretty darn good so far and hasn't reacted to any residue's.
-
I reckon we can always just grill at around 11 or 12 and when you come off the range you can eat..or we can call it around dinner time and sit down and eat.
totally up to you guys
-
oh man...ya had me going there...
The experts believe that the object must be a spacecraft, or more accurately part of one - sadly not an alien visitor, though. Rather it's likely to be a booster stage from an interplanetary mission of the past, now drifting back in to Earth and out again.

Ahh....my sarcasm radar seems to be disorted today for some reason...
Carry on, gentlemen.
well, that's ok, I'm always sarcastic..you don't need radar.

Yes I know that fraternization does occur in a combat zone. I'm referring to fraternization in the OP's context, two joes in a foxhole.
Dude....sex is sex. You and I both know it occurs anywhere and anytime when 2 young folks are concerned. Sexual orientation doesn't matter.
I was in a combat unit in the gulf war...when I finally rotated back stateside, I was assigned as a unit armorer in a Personnel battalion. (yah, I was lucky as heck!!).
I heard the stories though. One married female got preggo by a private (not her husband) and was rotated stateside, One officer was caught with an E5...
there were more stories..but I didn't pay much attention to them.
here's some facts for you...this is an old study..but it's still pertinent.
Some statistics about the Homosexual lifestyle:
* One study reports 70% of homosexuals admitting to having sex only one time with over 50% of their partners (3)
* One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year (6). The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime
* Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7)
* Many homosexuals don't pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: "Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior" (16)
* Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. "Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence" (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels "subjective distress") (27)
* Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States (5). They make up only 1-2% of the population
* Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the "gay bowel syndrome" (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27)
* 73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13)
* 25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11)
* Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film "The Castro", one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to "cruisy areas" and have anonymous sex
* 78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20)
* Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities" (10)
* Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, "30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals" (10)
* 50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10)
* Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, "Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person" (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality
* It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10)
* Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population
* Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8)
* 37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8)
* 41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8)
* Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8)
* The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8)
* The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8)
* Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8)
* 21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8)
* 50% of the calls to a hotline to report "queer bashing" involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18)
* About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).
Homosexuals prey on children.
* 33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7)
* There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is "SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE." This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States
* Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molestor, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molestor (19)
* 73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9)
* Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: "The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality" (22)
* Because homosexuals can't reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting "TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT" in their homosexual parades. A group called the "Lesbian Avengers" prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print "WE RECRUIT" on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren't as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.
The homosexual agenda.
* The homosexual agenda includes desensitizing the public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won" (25)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion" (1)
* Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness" (17).
The true number of homosexuals.
* The Kinsey study of 1948, which homosexuals often cite to say that 10% of the population is homosexual, actually says that only 4% of the population is EXCLUSIVELY homosexual. This study involved a disproportionate number of people who had been in jail for sex crimes (hardly a random sample of the population). Kinsey also did perverse studies involving young boys and pedophiles. Information on Kinsey
* Current research shows that the true percentage of homosexuals is in the 1-2% range (15,23,26,28). Consider how small this number is when compared to most of the numbers above.
Homosexuals aren't discriminated against in employment, so why should they be a protected class?
* The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24)
* 59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren't smart enough to listen to God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22)
* 49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where's the job discrimination?
Sexual Orientation
• A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is "sexual orientation." This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren't engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. "Sexual orientation," as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other "sexual orientations" are just fine, let's see what other "sexual orientations" you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you're not going to discriminate based on "sexual orientation", then you must not discriminate against any of the following. Bestiality, pedophile, necrophilia., exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, masochism, sadism, transvestitism, voyeurism. If you discriminate against any of these, you're a hypocrite. These "sexual orientations" are generally known as "paraphilias", and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).

If it's not raining tomorrow I'll find out what's happening from Mark and I guess we can play it by ear...I myself don't mind rain
I'm fairly waterproof as long as I don't talk much.

I will be rousing my wife up early and we're going to be out there probably by around 8 or so.
I'm going to try and get in some maintenance on the range before everyone gets there.

Unless someone else chimes in......I'm running low on 12ga ammo and this'll keep me from having to buy some on the way.........
I've got a Leepers 4x32 scope, NC Star 32mm Reddot, a SafariLand Tac Thigh holster (almost new in bag) 48rd shotgun shell bandolier, Houge pistol grip/forearm for Mossy 500, SKS/AK front Ameriglo sight, SKS bi-pod.....who know's what else lurks in my closet.....
Anything you see let me know......I sure won't mind making more room in my closet getting rid of this stuff....don't mind trading multiple items for the rounds either...
hey, bring all that stuff..I'm bringing a pistol safe and a 4x scope, some ammo and a few other odds and ends.
BTW........SUNTZU.......you still want that ole' BlackHawk IWB for a G26?? Found it the other day and remembered I had promised it to ya...like last year.

Enlightenment: Believe it or not, once you get the dies, the cost of making the rounds MORE than makes it worth the reloading.
case in point, the 30-06 rounds that I reload? I reload them for about .48 a round.
On the open market they would sell for about 1.20
My .308? I wait for sales and pick up bullets. I can make them for about .35 a round.
but...you can figure up how much it'll save you, if you use this : http://www.handloads.com/calc/loadingCosts.asp

Will a Bearcat really penetrate body armor?
No, and the other pistols won't penetrate modern body armor either...but it was cute..and I'd sure hate to be the guy that got shot with the vest on him..he won't be dead but he danged sure won't be moving fast..that much kinetic energy transferred to that small an area will knock the crap out of him and more than likely break bones.

that's not a Peking duck! he's got on eyes!!
(yah, I know I'm stretching it)
It doesn't give off any dangerous odors when it's burned, doesn't seize up or turn gooey..but I change it every time I clean my pistol.
