  1. I haven't actually read anything about season 2 on dvd. If they do things like most TV shows do, they'll release the dvds a few weeks before the next season. I hate that!
  2. It's rather lucky that Maverick and Goose didn't kill anyone.
  3. I looked at the Dykem High Heat markers, but they are enamel. That would add thickness like you said. The layout fluid was half the price of the stain, so I got cheap and went with that route. Maybe I can change my order, we'll see.
  4. I was hoping to stain my 9X18 rounds red and my 9X19 rounds blue to distinguish them easily and to help me find all MY brass at the public range. I intended to use a slow cordless drill with a bore mop chucked in place to pick up the shells and turn them while a put a stripe near and in the rim.
  5. Are you serious? I was told this stuff will stay put even during a tumbling or 2. Should I have gotten the transparent stain instead?
  6. They may be easier (not sure, haven't tried yet), but I'm not sure Sharpies are actually cheaper. The big ol fat ones with a nice chisel point are around $4 each. Right now you can get a 32 oz jug of red or blue layout fluid from ENCO (http://www.use-enco....?PMK0NO=1308767) for only $10.29 (online price). Plus, there's a coupon code (NCCMAR) on RetailMeNot.com which gets you free shipping on a $25 order. I haven't tried it yet, but I just put in an order to Enco for a 32 oz jug of each color and a 2 oz bottle of each (just to get the nice felt tip applicators and refillable bottles). It came out to just under $28 total. For that price I could get 7 or 8 big sharpies and there's no way they'd outlast 64 oz of Dykem. I hope it works out, will let you know how it holds up from tumbling to shooting. BigK
  7. I used the SailorCurt when it came to removing/installing the slide stop spring. Not sure I'd have gotten the darn thing back together so easily without his awesome turorials. I didn't even look at his mag release step until now. His method of lightening the spring is much better than cutting off coils. In fact, I'd say it's a pretty brilliant idea in its simplicity. Since I just started reloading 9X18 ammo, I anticipate shooting my 82 a lot more than ever. I'm definitely gonna lighten that mag release spring this weekend to save me some wear/tear on the mag release button.
  8. I've heard this rationale before and experienced the 'no look' lane change more than once back when I had a bike. Now that I drive a nice comfy car around, I can't help but notice that I can only hear even the loudest bike when it's beside me or in front of me. I don't hear them when they are in my blind spot.
  9. I assume it's for the same reason people put whale tails on a Dodge Neon or those tin can mufflers on their Nissan Sentra or crank their radio up until their tail light covers are rattling. They want some attention.
  10. Kind of funny... My MVZK (most valuable zombie killer) is...
  11. From the sound of things the Estep got ugly and the cops felt threatened. Seems the investigators agreed. Telling his side of the story to the press early and the hell that it raised may have been all that kept Estep from being arrested. But then again, nobody but the 3 of them know for sure.

    Naming your gun

    Maybe you should call it Christine...when she's not listening of course.

    Naming your gun

    I've got some pretty close friends that I like a lot...they have names. I've got a couple of guns I love quite a lot...they have no names. I never even considered it until now.
  14. I love those guys on Best Defense. In all their scenarios they always at least show 1) worst case, 2) better case, 3) best case scenarios. The best case is almost always a way to avoid the situation or avoid anyone getting killed.
  15. That was so funny! He was pulling that trigger so hard that he was shaking like a epileptic Eskimo (trying to trump Caster's "weakest chink" comment for most politically incorrect comment of the day). I can't stand the big oaf! Wish he hadn't won.
  16. Oh, is that what that is? I thought he was just happy to see us.
  17. It's sad that the people interested in NOT breaking these laws have hoops to jump through in the first place. We all know who these laws were written to protect society from and law-abiding folks headed to the shooting range, a match, hunting, etc. ain't those people. It's the hooligan driving around a seedy neighborhood at 1:00 in the morning 'looking for a place to test out' his new Jennings 9mm he 'aquired' recently.
  18. I already feel the WD withdrawals starting to take hold. It's gonna be a LONG time til October. At least I have a few more weeks of Top Shot left to go, a season of Game of Thrones starting soon, and True Blood in a few months.
  19. His 40 round shotgun impressed me and so did Rick's 11 round revolver. Don't even get me started on those headshots Glen and them were making from a vehicle moving at what looked like 25 - 30 mph. Hell, I can barely hit center mass 7 out of 10 times in IDPA while walking at around 3 mph.
  20. Reminds me of the movie Fido.
  21. I believe the text in red is what you are looking for. It was my understanding from HCP class that if you don't have an HCP, subsection (1) must be satisfied at ALL times when transporting in a vehicle. In (4) "Incident to" was explained to mean "while engaged in", like while in the field hunting or at the range shooting. This does not cover "while on the way to". 39-17-1308. Defenses to unlawful possession or carrying of a weapon. (a) It is a defense to the application of § 39-17-1307 if the possession or carrying was: (1) Of an unloaded rifle, shotgun or handgun not concealed on or about the person and the ammunition for the weapon was not in the immediate vicinity of the person or weapon; (2) By a person authorized to possess or carry a firearm pursuant to § 39-17-1315 or § 39-17-1351; (3) At the person's: (A) Place of residence; ( Place of business; or © Premises; (4) Incident to lawful hunting, trapping, fishing, camping, sport shooting or other lawful activity;
  22. "certain elements", huh?! I'd be just as mad if it'd been Reagan's face on the flag.
  23. My first refinishing on this gun was a simple reblue job. I used Jasco paint stripper and a soft wire wheel and buffing pad on my Dremel. Second time, I let somebody else do everything. I got it stripped, bead blasted, and Cerakoted for just over $100.
  24. Y'all caught something about the Glenn and Maggie thing I missed aparrently. I got the impression he was giving her the cold shoulder or just not interested in her like that.
  25. Are you kidding me!? I'd stand in line to buy a ticket for that movie!
