Brown Bess Flintlock musket with bayonet.  If they can see that .75 bore, it'll scare the pants off of them.  If they can't see that huge hole, then that .736 lead ball will make an entry wound as big as a shotgun slug.  Secondly, the smoke from that shot creates a screen that makes it impossible for them to see down the hall.  Lastly, if seeing my overweight, mostly-naked body come screaming out of that smoke behind 5 1/5 feet of bayoneted musket doesn't send them into paroxysms of terror, nothing will!  The 17" of triangular-bladed bayonet is long enough to search out intruders gibbering with fear behind interior doors and walls, but not long enough to endanger the neighbors with over-penetration.   Besides, the cops always get a thrill at the sight of me in my boxers standing over the surviving idiot prisoner while he lies face-down on the ground with my bayonet touching on his spine.

That would be a death sentence. Everyone knows 2 x .22 = .44 and while the .44 is still .45-1, it's still close enough to do some real damage. ;)

This was the hardest stock project I have done. I thought I had it before but when looking at it found some issues. Started out as an inletted blank that was roughed out. Stripped the finish off 3 times after seeing more issues, finally am calling it quits on this one.

Then he shouldn't mind going out to the parking lot and catching a few rounds of .22 to prove his point.

    no it's not

Christmas is the only time of the year we sit in front of a dead tree eating candy out of our socks.

Here is my first assembly of a stripped lower. Used a LPK I got for Christmas last year. Will probably replace the safety with something different and put a Geisselle trigger in it next year. Hopefully I will get the complete upper and buffer tube/stock kit I asked Santa (aka my wife and kids) for this year...Was really cool learning how all the springs and detents and roll pins come together to make everything work...I am officially HOOKED...

  Which means if there's at least 3 of you sitting around, one will try to take up a collection ...

  They lost, remember? Just imagine how it would have turned out if JMB had been a German and he gifted them with the .45 of the gods!             [/sarcasm]

LMAO In reality there would never be enough Vandy fans there to even need to play any music very loudly

  That's OK, I'm from Church O God so I can make allowances for you. lol

I believe Pawn shops are suppose to put items like that on a website for police.  I think it is called leadsonline.com Also they are suppose to hold items for X amount of time before they sell them.

I like the positive atmosphere in discussions. On other boards the posters get into pissing contests over miniscule details, devolving into personal attacks and kindergarden verbage. I do not post much, on any board, due to that reason. I appreciate TGO for the maturity,knowledge base and clean humor found here. I know there was a "purge" some time back with over the line posters and Iam appreciative of the effort of the mods.

Resale value will probably be best with a gun that is "manufactured". Unfortunately, not all home made guns are created equal. It isn't all about the parts list either.

Whew...thought I was going to see something like this based upon the OP topic: [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/stuckcycle_zpse428fef0.jpg.html][/URL]

... this is one of them. 1) I bought the scope off of DBTN. 2) I bought the ammunition off of drv2fst. 3) 2.ooohhh helped me change the A2 flash hider out for my BCM gunfighter comp. (thanks again) drv2fst!!!! If you find anymore of that run of BH 77gr laying around, ... I'll take it. :) ... this is what it'll do in "somebody's" LWRC M6. 100yds. 16" LWRC M6A2 SSA-E trigger Leupold VXIII 3.5-10 P.E.P.R. quick release mount Black Hills 77gr OTM - sitting at a picnic table w/ Caldwell bipod (built-in picatinny mount) & squeeze bag under the stock. I shot 3 groups just like this one. I also think the BCM gunfighter comp absolutely made a difference... don't know why? but this gun was a 1.5-2moa gun before.

Congrats on getting the puzzle done !

  Yep, and you see where messing with his divine design got them. Straight to the hangman's noose at Nuremberg. Proof that the 9mm ain't ####. If they'd kept the mighty .45 against our own 1911 thunder hammers, the two mighty forces colliding would likely have caused an extinction event like the one that that killed off the dinosaurs. Geologists 100,000 years from now would be referring to the "JMB layer" in the sedimentary time line.

First time in ages I've actually took time to prowl in the pawn shop. And they had a Beretta cougar 8040D, finish pretty well worn but everything felt good. So I told the lady I wanted it since it was 249.99. Fill out my form, give her my dl, a few min. later she comes back with my gun in a plastic bag (or what I thought was my gun). Turned out they had 1 left in the back, very little wear and for the same price. So I got a 8040D Cougar for 282 tax background and all.

Nope. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/11399931690940082184?rlz=1C1GGGE_enUS591US591&espv=2&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=sharks+with+lasers&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.80185997,d.aWw&ion=1&biw=1280&bih=638&tch=1&ech=1&psi=jINyVPbSI4qnyQTm_YHoAQ.1416790903828.3&sa=X&ei=kINyVKq0LImdyQTrzoGoAQ&ved=0CIABELkk

Here's mine Till I get my SBR stamp and suppressor...

.......some peoples kids.

The other day my wife walked in and I was reloading magazines from a range trip. She looked at the stack and said "Really? 10 magazines?" Inside I busted out laughing athe the 40 she didn't see in the safe lmao. Not that she would really care, she'd just say I'm ridiculous. Although she gets mad when her 9mm ammo doesn't get restocked fast enough. ....by me of course

With a Keymod rail? That's not too bad I believe.

I felt the same way after I did my first one. Now I'm on number 7 (or maybe 8). It really is fun learning how to build them. Like anything else, it makes more sense if you put it together yourself. Congrats and wont be long till you post another lol.

Yep, that's what I paid for mine. I looked for a coon's age & couldn't find a used one for less than Bud's. Incidentally, you'll LOVE it! :)

  This is a pretty good bunch around here. But, it's easy to wonder if somebody that has built ONE rifle did everything right, and with the right tools. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if the deal was right based on the parts list. But, I have all the tools, and have built a bunch of them. For me, that means that it would have to be a helluva deal to choose it over just buying a bag of parts. In other words, low resale value.   When I see an ad that says "custom built" from somebody I don't know, there's an immediate red flag. I get a picture of a guy holding the upper receiver between his knees, and cranking on the barrel nut with a pipe wrench. :) Oh yeah... and a large bottle of Red Loctite sitting next to him.

Where does the freakin' laser beam go? :D

No I'm a Baptist :shake:  

  I wanna see how he mounted the Surefire light.

Any update on when we will receive the names?

Thanks for the recommendations on the books.   As far as the lists, well we are on so many I dont know how the ones watching are keeping up with all of them. The way I see it is to keep adding to the lists and just maybe we can overload the system. :cool:

double tap

Ditto...

I have an extremely busy work schedule, but I was fortunate to have some time off this week. Got to go for a little muzzleloader time... [URL=http://s1207.photobucket.com/user/72-oj/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps225c06d0.jpg.html][/URL] Had a successful hunt... [URL=http://s1207.photobucket.com/user/72-oj/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsbb3a3089.jpg.html][/URL] Then made it out yesterday for a rifle hunt. Killed nothing but time...

Bushmaster AR-15.  Back up to that is either another AR or an 870.

Are firearm owners the best of people or what.

The entire infrastructure of this country is on the verge of collapse. Power grids, roads, bridges and water supply. It seems congess would rather waste our tax dollars on worthless government programs and sending billions each year to countries that hate us.  All the Chinese have to do is wait. 

Mossberg 500, 7+1 all turkey loads.

I don't have a go to home defense long gun.  My house is not big enough so a pistol is more than adequate.

Ithaca M37 Police Special, 8 rounds of #1 buck.

M2 Browning at the front door. Mk 19 at the back. Mother-in-law guarding the side door with a BB gun.

My fists! Or the mossy 500

I like mine. Not sure why. You'll love the smooth crisp 87lb double action trigger.

That's just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen.   Just looking at it makes me want to hold it sideways to get the grip straight.  Shooting the thing might very well lead to insanity.

meh, they are just people.  No better and certainly no worse.

If it's on here I ask for a fair price and usually sell for about what I paid for it.  If it's on Gunbroker I set a min price and let fly. If it's on Armslist I ask what I think they're selling for. If it's at our Club it's 2x the list price and carrying charges since I had to carry it out there. If I'm buying at our Club it's 1/2 of what I think it's worth. If I sell it then I tell my wife I got double what I actually paid for it.

If it is a true serious SHTF or TEOTWAWKI, and the situation arises that im stuck in traffic, im either driving the shoulder or going offroad to get away from the mess or im going to start pushing vehicles out of my way on my own. You should have several ways to get home but rules and laws be damned if it truly hits the fan.

Please use the 223 (not FMJ as that is illegal) so when you do hit one it dies quickly.  You could probably use a 22, but why, it's not fair to the animal unless you have a perfectly placed shot.  Plus, if it is at any distance, you will just end up wounding it.  Some may disagree, but I am always looking for a humane kill.  Since you have a 223, use it.  Personally, I don't think a red dot is a great option for Coyote hunting though.  If possible, I would get at least a 3-9x scope to put on it.  It doesn't have to be expensive as a 223 doesn't have a lot of recoil and an AR decreases it even further.
