If you're working on a deal and then fail to log onto the site for three or four days, then you shouldn't be to upset when someone thinks you've abandoned the deal and moves on.  Deals move quickly, and unless you set an expectation otherwise offering a reason for which you will be slow to respond, then it's unrealistic for someone to hold onto something because you might get back to them.    This is certainly NOT the right way to handle something like this, and will not be tolerated going forward.

This isn't surprising at all. McCain is worthless and should be the poster-child for term limits. He needs to go ahead and take the "R" from in front of his name. I respect his war service greatly but at this point in his life he's no better than Harry Reid, Lindsay Graham or any of the other power-hungry dinosaurs in Washington who need to be put out to pasture.

Most any train car in theory could double as a people hauler. Some people are absolutely bat shi* cray cray.

There is a feedback system just for this.    But while its here.... if he replied on Friday the 22nd saying he could meet Monday or Tuesday and you didn't reply, and then he sold it on Sunday, that seems like bad communication on your part.  

They can come to east Tennessee, and if the rest of the state doesn't like it, we can reestablish the State of Franklin and be done with it.  :usa:

they all just ought to quit the facade that there is any difference between the two main parties.

As someone who drives for a living, I understand his frustration. As someone who carries while driving for a living, I understand how important it is to control that frustration.

I'll take lead over a fmj for ANYTHING. Even if I were looking for deep penetration, I can get a lead bullet in there as far as any fmj. I can water drop straight wheel weights and get it hard enough it will not expand at all. I'll also take a cast lead bullet over almost any other copper condom out there. There's very little a jacket can do that a PROPERLY PREPARED cast load cannot do. .....cheaper. Over the weekend I shot some 308's I loaded for a friend's hunting rifle. Without boring details, it penetrated 4 gallon jugs of water and mushroomed from .311 to just over .650. The first two jugs were shredded to pieces. This is a light load and recoil is about like a .223. Accuracy was inside 2 inches at fifty yards and that's a ten shot group, btw. ...Ohh yeah, it cost me about $7 for the fifty rounds we fired.

Is this thread supposed to be satire or are we being serious right now? My God. I'm pretty sure if we had a video of US soldiers taking a dump and played it to menacing theme music some tin foil hatters would think is was a damn conspiracy rather than consider the possibility that soldiers have to take dumps too.

Not sure who this guy is, apparently just some guy with a Facebook.  I like what he has to say.    

Speaking of "breaking the law" you people up on that pedastal...how many times have you voluntarily paid TN sales tax on those guns you bought out of state and shipped to your FFL...or stuff you bought on Amazon for that matter...thats what I thought, shutup ;-D

And the Republicans wonder why their nominees aren't getting elected President.

I want my two minutes back.

Sorry if you're offended Jim, but I've just added you to the no clue, unimportant, non citizen, you're welcome to leave my country list.  Don't let the border cause you to stumble and stay any longer.

The A-Team used Mini 14s.   No need for any more discussion on the matter is there?

Mike you have no idea how I'd like the chance to bitchslap some of these Hollywood idiots.

I was sent this by my FIL that is a big supporter of the 2nd like all of us. Very interesting video.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/embed/9RABZq5IoaQ<br /><br /><br />JTM<br />Sent from my sending thing

There's one particular forum I go back to every now and then that makes me more and more grateful for David and his team every time I visit. Thanks for taking the high road and making this the best gun forum on the net.

  I'll save you the trouble. It's offensive to God, religion in general, gun owners and Charleton Heston.

It's ok, I think he'll live

We really need a conspiracy theory subforum for...stuff...like this. Anyone want to volunteer as a SME?  :rofl:

All I gotta say... I'll shoot a lizard man in the face with exploding hollow points. I HATE lizard men.

  You are correct.  That there are so many people out there who go through their daily lives thinking that a random train transporting military vehicles or towing car haulers is evidence of a FEMA plot is very concerning indeed. 

  That was because he was married to Jenny McCarthy at the time and that was her focus. He couldn't probably care less except he didn't want to be kicked out of bed. He is trying to remain relevant in a world he shouldn't even be in.

Did you know that Senator Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma attached ammendment 139 yesterday to that prevents the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.    Way to go!  I believe this bill has passed both Senate and House.    http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d113:4:./temp/~bd8Jrk::

I saw an interesting thread on another website that was interesting. Guys who are buying this stuff in MASSES and selling it all over the net have made a serious business for themselves... It would indeed be hilarious to see some of these big sellers go to jail for not paying tax on "income"... The largest seller on GB for bulk pack ammo sells about 50 bulk packs a week... WHERE in the heck does he get this stuff? My best friend and I bought a bunch from him. Nice guy from the northwest, but man o man... who only knows. I asked if he was a dealer and he said " I do it out of my garage for side money"... Now, it's not fair for me to say what he buys it for and what he sells it for. That's his business really. It was just an interesting point a guy brought up about guys who have just made a killing during this crisis paying up....

Here's what I want to know... all of these folks on Craigslist, GunBroker, etc are selling 10-20-30 boxes of the impossible to find bulk pack .22lr's. You can't tell me they just get lucky by getting to Walmart in time. There is some serious behind the scenes brother dealing going on. It's sad, but it's reality. How are the same people on these sites able to get, keep, and sell more 550 Bulk pack that a WHOLE entire region of Walmart gets in a damn month!! Riddle me that one!!

I'm not even gonna give him the attention of looking at the links.

I have a full size M & P .40 and I thought the same thing. My daughter heard me talking about it and said "If your belly didn't hang over, you might not feel it" ....................Well, I really had to laugh, cause she was right! :)

I stocked up on components when they reelected that asshole with the big ears.

Leads even cheaper than 1/2. I load 9, .40, .45, 38, .357, 44 all with lead. Great loads for paper punching.

I believe you answered your own question.  That being said, it is generally not advisable to shoot lead pills out of a polygonaly rifled barrel such as a Glock due to concerns of excessive lead build-up and subsequent elevations in pressure.

I cannot be the only one here who thinks that looks stupid.

This could be around the corner for us here in the US. Make your voice heard, call your congressman and representative constantly.   https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=fGaDAThOHhA

  Yep, we're not quite the "Patron State of Shootin' Stuff" that others often believe.   - OS

...Feinstein, and the he (now she) is....

the train in the background are for transporting us all to FEMA concentration camps.   Only the hard core holdouts will have to deal with the mil-spec rides on the train in the foreground.

It sounds like he has the seater die screwed in so far that it is applying a serious crimp to the case mouth. Then he tried to seat the bullets deeper after he already had a crimp.   You need to do a full length size. Even new brass needs to be sized. Pull the handle down to the bottom of its stroke. Screw the sizing die in until it contacts the shell holder then add about a 1/2 turn. You want to make sure the sizing die ALWAYS touches the shell holder.   Next you need to use the powder drop die to bell the case mouth. You want just enough bell that the bullet clears the case mouth. Most times you can't see or even feel the bell but when you set a bulet in the case mouth it is obvious. To set it you put the handle at the bottom of the stroke then you screw it in until the handle moves. Remove the shell and check the bullet fit. It is doesn't then add a 1/4 turn, lock it down and pull the handle to the hard stop with the case in the shell holder. Check it again and add a 1/4 turn at a time until the bullet just barely clears the case mouth. Too much bell work hardens the case mouth and will cause cracks pretty quickly.   To set your seater die up do this. Loosen the die and loosen the seater pin. Put a piece of factory ammo in the shell holder. Put the handle of the press at the bottom of the stroke, I mean bottomed out on the hard stop. Then screw the die in until you see the handle barely move. Lock the die in place. Then tighten the seater die until it hard stops on the bullet. This will get you near perfect bullets. You might have to add a 1/8 turn to get more of a crimp but not much more than that.

There is 5.56mm ammo and then there is 5.56mm ammo.  Your cartridge selection will make a huge difference in penetration of walls and doors.  Generally speaking, the lighter the bullet, the more chance it will blow up in the first thing it hits.  The Hornady 55gr TAP cartridge also has flash suppressant in the powder which helps a LOT when shooting in low-light conditions.  It was designed to reduce over-penetration. Military 62gr on the other hand was designed specifically to penetrate barriers.   I keep a 5.56mm AR carbine for home defense.  It's what my muscle memory knows best, and suddenly awake in the middle of the night, that's important.  I've fired M-16s indoors before  (on full-auto, too).  Afterwards your ears will ring.  But you really don't notice it while shooting.   We each have to make choices based on our individual situations, skills, and experiences.  There is no perfect answer that works for everyone (except Joe Biden's double-barrel 12ga  :rofl: ). 

I'm on a notification list for just about every type of .22 Midway carries.... nothin yet.

I'd stay the h3ll out of Davidson county, even if someone gave you a place there.

I have both, and have found that the Mini is by far the best at shooting anything it is fed!  Since you are not looking at having to shoot a lot, very far, and will only be shooting a few rounds, and not hunting, the Mini is cheaper, very reliable, and the mags are not that expensive.  Ruger has really good videos to help with field stripping for cleaning and it doesn't require a lot of TLC.  The AR is superior for long range, high capacity, high round counts, and that everywhere you look there might be one should SHTF!  I wouldn't use that SHTF as the main criteria for the purchase.  All AR's have lots of parts to clean, and they are really easy to loose if you are not cleaning them on a workbench or table.  The Mini will not fail you for the price!

  Young?  Man, I'm 41.  I kinda don't believe I should have to join the military and go to a foreign country in order to exercise my right to keep and bear arms.  I am also old enough to remember when pretty much every "good ol' boy" drove a pickup truck that had a gun rack in the rear window.  That rack generally held at least a shotgun and, often, a rifle.  Those long guns were present year 'round, not just during hunting season and, no, hunting season isn't different because the Second Amendment is not about hunting.  It was not a big deal and no one freaked out nor were they portrayed as 'armed mobs' by most folks because, back then, people weren't drinking the pussification Kool-Aid.  Some of us might like to still be able to do that without being harassed and without anyone freaking out.  It isn't our fault that the general populace has their heads up their collective asses.  I also don't think that most of us are talking about walking down the sidewalk, either alone or in groups, while carrying an AR, etc.

  Maybe you think we should all go buy double barrel shotguns?   Personally, I have served and fought for my freedoms.  I intend to keep and use them, and honestly I could not care less if you are comfortable with that.

I actually had a dream the other night that I went into my local post office and for whatever reason they had .223 for $50 per 1000. I bought as much as i could and tried to call my friend but my phone wouldn't work. Then my wife woke me for work.   I literally went and checked my ammo stash, saw it wasn't true and sulked the rest of the day.
