This. Beltman. Not cheap but worth it.

I have a strange problem with one of my garage doors. When the power flickers (like a momentary brown-out), it'll open by itself. If the power goes completely off and back on, it doesn't do anything. It's been a while, but it happened again during the recent storms. Its a bit disconcerting, particularly when we're not home. When we're going to be gone for a while, I unplug the opener and mechanically lock the door. It's a craftsman door opener and about 15 yrs old, if that's useful. Thoughts? Suggestions?

True, but I think we tend to expect a bit too much from the guy making $7/hr behind the gun counter at such places. Any modern JHP ammo will perform adequately. Worry more about how it feeds in your gun and hitting your target.

Intimidation? This.

Wow. My son is almost 3. I definitely would've had a little discussion with that guy and the store manager. Depending on how that went, maybe a similar conversation with a cop shortly thereafter.

I'd guess that's what happened. The van's right front tire caught the dually's left rear. The tires grab one another and the van is on it's side in a blink. Common in open wheel racing.

What Mike said. Yes, it can be welded. But it would be easier to just drill holes and bolt it together, 3/16" bolts will work fine. It'll be far easier to take apart too.

Looks cool! Lots of ambient light from multiple sources, mind the shadows. No flash, slow-ish shutter speed (tri-pod if necessary). Change the background from the white sheet to a darker color (blue, burgundy, green, ...).

A friend made some out of 0.25" mild steel plate which have held up to several years of handgun shooting. Make sure you angle the plates so that splatter/ricochets aren't a problem. I'd guess it would take 0.5" to withstand high powered rifle rounds.

I haven't voted "for" anyone in a long time. I typically vote for the guy whom I think is most likely to not make things too much worse and has the best chance of beating the guy who I'm sure will make things a lot worse. I think voting for someone who has no chance of winning only strengthens the guy you most want to lose. YMMV.

Yes. Think about the number of things and frequency with which a cop's gun bumps stuff during the course of a normal day.

Inquire with your landlord and find out if they permit door-to-door solicitors. If not, they're trespassing and a phone call to the landlord (or law enforcement) to run them off is in order.

Curious that this comes out less than 2 weeks from voting day....

In east TN, it's rare to get a shot at a deer much beyond 100 yds, most are 75 yds or closer. Hence the ballistic advantage of .30-06 and larger cartridges is basically useless. If you intend to hunt deer or larger critters in flat areas, then the larger cartridges have value. Don't sweat the "this bullet vs. that bullet" stuff. If you dig a little, darn near everything is available in darn near every caliber. Plus you can hand load whatever you want. As with pistol shooting, shot placement is key. Find a rifle you like, that fits your budget, and go kill some stuff.

Isn't there another thread here about "don't ask, don't tell"?

It appears from the video that the police sniper pulled the trigger but the rifle didn't discharge. When he touched the bolt, it fired. Sounds like a burr or something causing the firing pin to snag. I'd expect a police armorer to be able to figure that out and fix it, so maybe it's not that simple. Note that the video says there are "thousands of complaints" and "more than 75 lawsuits". I'd guess that total production of 700 series rifles numbers in the millions. While the consequences are dire, in reality that's not what I'd consider a big problem. Problems in the 200ppm or less range are incredibly difficult to identify and fix. At a previous employer, I spent 2 years trying to solve a 150ppm manufacturing defect problem. The consequences were significant, but the cause nearly impossible to isolate. We made over 1 million of these items per year. I doubt Remington makes that many rifles, so you can see the difficulty in studying the problem. The only true solution I found was far too expensive to implement cost effectively. At the end of the day, the management decided to put a couple bandaids on it and move on to the next problem. Business as usual. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, comes of this.

By "mag extensions" do you mean a pinky rest or a higher capacity magazine? I've never seen a higher capacity extended mag. I have seen some pinky rests but as you found, they said "not for MILPRO".

Welcome!

Greetings!

We do this as well with my wife's extended family. It's a great way to make sure everyone gets a little something ($25 limit) without having to empty the bank account. Family time is the most important part. +1. I've basically given up telling people what I want. Most complain that my wants are boring, so I just ask for gift cards.

I think that's a fantastic habit to get your child in. Here's your out... guns aren't toys, they're tools. A man can never have enough tools. Excellent job on the refinish. I wouldn't mess with the bluing either. Sometimes, trying to redo small spots makes it look worse. I'd rather have a few spots where the bluing is rubbed off than have several different colors of bluing. As stated, it gives it a little character. As long as it's not openly rusting, it's fine.

I can see the value in practicing in the dark, but the above seems a little disturbing. You have to blindly fire a shot to see? What ever happened to knowing your target and what's beyond? I understand that it's just an exercise, but it seems to be practicing a "no no". Would practicing point shooting not accomplish the same thing?

A bull barrel on a 10/22? What does that accomplish other than just making it heavier? Does she specifically want a pink gun, or is that your idea? My wife hates pink. Has she been shooting with you before? If not, you need to take her with you, let her shoot various guns and let her decide what she wants. Personally, I'd think a 20ga or .410 would be a good 1st choice. Plenty of instant gratification with exploding targets to keep her interested.

The UT game time traffic will not affect your trip, unless you intend take the long way through downtown knoxville. I've found that during the game is a good time to run errands. There will be more people on the interstate heading in/out, but you should exit before it gets ugly. Hwy 321 is a reasonable route. Expect some rush hour slow downs in Lenoir City, Maryville, and Pigeon Forge. Otherwise, it's fine. While there are a few local backroads that can help get you around problem areas, some can't be avoided. Timing is everything. http://ww2.tdot.state.tn.us/tsw/smartmap.htm
