I had the frame of my wife's Shield Cerakoted Tiffany Blue and just got it picked up last night. I just took a few minutes and put it all back together so figured I would post a pic here.

OK, I know that this isn't a firearm. However, I noted a few others posting items they're proud of. This is one of mine! While in Iraq in '06 our Motor Pool OIC brought his knife-making equipment (he forges and makes his own). He taught some of how to make knives when we had some free time. My blade has been cut (with a plasma torch) from a piece of HMWWV armor (off an old vehicle). smoothed and shaped by me. The handle is a piece of wood from a door frame out of one of Saddam's palaces (Radwaniah Palace, southern end of BIAP). Start to finish:

  What I was thinking. It's TGO. We'll have this case solved way before the TBI :)

Bread and milk my brothers, bread and milk...

  There is just as much if not more anecdotal evidence that initially presenting your permit during a traffic stop gets you out of a ticket, and that the vast majority of LEOs will not care about disarming you.   - OS

  Personally, I would rather see Prius's and other hybrids!  :)

Whoever they bring in will only be worse.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Hope he lives the rest of his life with Bubba in the Gray Bar Motel.....................jmho

[quote name="Hershmeister" post="1109830" timestamp="1392235231"]Ive run into one or two idiots with vertical grips on their pistol versions of rifles.And as far as why, would you want to be the range owner and have someone accidentaly hurt someone with an illegal gun - i guarantee you'd be suffering from a civil suit suggesting some liability. You may win, but having good policies is smart business.[/quote] If I was a range owner I wouldn't want anyone to hurt anyone with any gun. I don't expect it to make any difference in a lawsuit, especially since every range I have seen requires a waiver of liability, although we know what that's worth. In the end, they are welcome to ask and I am welcome to go elsewhere if I don't like their rules. I'm ok with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We went to Mammoth cave & also took a tour of the Corvette factory a few years ago & they said that area has hundreds of sinkholes. Mammoth cave is estimated to have about 600+ miles of tunnels under KY & sinkholes are everywhere.

Next time put the sight in the freezer for a while and heat the slide up.  It'll probably slide right in. 

RIP Officer Ellis http://www.odmp.org/officer/21789-police-officer-jason-scott-ellis My condolences and prayers go out to the family, the community and the Officers that worked with him. Some gave all.

As you wish, just came in the mail 30 minutes ago, I love this rifle!

I have several threads about my recent interest in older firearms and working my way back. I have finally made it back to my first C&R purchase and would like to share some photos of it with everyone. I am no expert but am interested in any experience you have with it. I think I have a 1956 S&W pre39 in good shape to be about 57 years old. Thinking about getting it lettered so I have the facts on it. My understanding is it is the first American made DA/SA pistol to make it into regular production. It also seems the serial numbers started at 1000 and went to about 2500 on the pre39 models. I have 15xx. Again any knowledge you can share about them and their history would be great. Also I wouldn't mind getting it closer to original, so if anyone has a box, paperwork, mag, etc that is the same age I would be interested in it. Now for some eye candy. Thanks

 There has been a bombing on the outskirts of Lebanon, on Vance Lane. Man was  killed, wife critical.  Law enforcement has been on scene for a couple of days. ATF investigating, along  with State & local LEO.  It's been all over the local TV news. LE are being very tight lipped. Bomb did major  damage to the house.  Sorry I don't have a link, but you can catch it on the local TV news.  The man was supposedly a retired attorney. Older couple.  Everbody is warned to be careful of suspicious packages, and to call 911 if found.

  :stunned:    :rofl:  :rofl:  Now that's just cold.!

Very cool, sort of a Hussein Hudson Bay. :) - OS

$10 admission $5 parking All the ambiance of a cheap flea market.   If Sam is there selling reloading supplies, it'll still be worth your while to go. If not, make other plans.

Dang, I was hoping BA was next.

i forgot about him so maybe it's over for a while again, even though the other two were much older and I think died of natural causes he would still make three connected to Tensile Town I guess.............jmho

Well I sold an AR from the collection to move to something different, so I got a Tavor. Mine is the FDE 18" version... liked that extra 1.5" of barrel while still same length as a registers SBR. Got it yesterday and sent it off to PA today to have the whole thing swapped to left hand!! now the two week wait. love that it will take my AR mags and co-witness with any of my AR optics with ease.

I would guess the number would be near 100% from reputable organizations. But it’s not like the names are going to be announced or be in the news.

Reward, or not, if you have information to prevent or solve a crime why not come forward? There are victims that could potentially get closure.

My wife and I were talking about this and we agree, something must be about to be implemented that Holder wants to avoid personal fallout from.....interesting times we live in...fer sure n fer certain!

  Yep, silencers are not controlled items in many European countries, and indeed their use is even encouraged just for that reason.   The US is still hung up on silencers being a "gangster hit man" thing.   - OS

  No, it's obviously for the good of the community... lmao, you just can't fix idiocy.

That is a New York trigger. It just snaps down into the trigger housing. It was designed to increase the trigger pull weight. If you have the standard little trigger spring, just install the standard trigger spring and leave the New York trigger out.

  Any lawyer can make enemies, when you deal with anyone and anything in the legal system someone can get hurt or screwed bad in some way. Now killing someone with a bomb no matter what they did to you is a lowlife, careless way to do it because bombs are indiscriminant, can kill an innocent person. Someone has to be totally thoughtless of others to kill someone with a bomb. Don't know what the details or motivation is, maybe this lawyer really screwed someones life up. I might actually feel a little sympathy for someone if that was the case, if they had shot them or killed them in a way that wouldn't hurt or kill someone else but when you use a bomb the guy is going to rot in jail for life if i'm on a jury. Now a vengence killing I wouldn't excuse totally because it's against the law even though I might understand, if some dirtbag murdered someones family member and got off and they killed the dirtbag with a crowbar or something like that, I may have to find them guilty of littering and fine them $100. Anyway no one knows the motivation, I can't make an opinion except that using a bomb is thoughtless of innocent lives and whoever did that is a scumbag killer for that reason alone.   (edit) P.S. Wartime is a different story and killing terrorists with bombs sometimes is the only option. Besides there's usually no innocent people hanging out with terrorists.

This sounds pretty cut and dried to me; at least based on the stories I've read.  I haven't seen in any of the stories anything that would indicate that the shooter's life was ever in danger or that he had any rational reason to believe he was in danger. As such, his claim of self defense should be a non-starter.   I had hear early on that the shooter claimed that the three in the SUV had a shotgun and was or had pointed it at him but apparently that was either a lie by the shooter or he imagined something that just wasn't there.   As armed citizens we have a higher duty to avoid conflicts when we can.

Did the Sig 210 do anything the Browning High Power couldn't do for less?

In answer to .. why?   There is no reason. Just the seemingly all consuming desire of the "me, me and I want it now" that seems to be the way of our society. To be responsible...to take responsibility for  one's actions....that is just not entering the thoughts of more and more people these days.

They changed the rules awhile back so that all priority mail now has tracking on it. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I'm afraid if I keep reading stories like this I'm gonna snap. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hmm, now I have to figure out which attack helicopter an AH-15 is......

I second that.

  Kroil is the miracle oil.  Not only is it the best sticky situation unsticker it's made by a Tennessee company.

If you could qualify health wise, a cheaper option would be a TERM life insurance policy. I have a 30 year term policy for 250k, and it's twenty something bucks a month.

My "workbench" at this time is whatever flat surface I begin work on...writing desk, random table, floor......

That's the one to be used for .45 ACP wounds. :)

You could wait until the BCM KMR (keymod rail) comes out. It is supposed to be rediculously light and slim. http://www.bravocompanymfg.com/kmr/ that site shows the KMR13 but they will have a KMR10 as well. Designed by Eric of VLTOR and made with an aluminum-magnesium alloy. Should be around $250-270.   LW barrels are also an option. There are the BCM, DD, and Spikes LW barrels that are good options. Or you can flute or recontour the barrel at ADCO https://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/

I'd like to thank the TGO mod staff for understanding when to and when not to lock a thread. AND for understanding the need to leave some meat on the bone and toss it to the jackals ever so often. We appreciate it.

Be scared if they ask, "is your TGO screen name..."

The worst part of sub service, I am 6'3" tall, overhead was 5'10" to 6' high. All racks were 5'10", so I walked around stooped over, and never slept well. Other than that is was OK.
