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]

I looked at several today and the ones I looked at were all matching numbers. No forced matched if anyone is looking for one. $149.00 was the price on the box.

You sound like me!

you must be an Austin Powers fan????

Yep, sounds like it! I finally got a pistol lower started. Can't wait to finish it and head to the range.

My wife loves to shoot so I am not as bad off as some...but she's more stingy than I am when it comes to money...I cant take it with me so I would rather enjoy it now kinda thing....I was loading up about 30 AR mags awhile back and she just rolled her eyes...I think you and I are probably in similar boats...lol

The Ruger AR556 is an excellent contender too, very cheap with a CHF barrel? Daddy like...

my wife will kill me if i post another one...even though this is my first assembly, it's my 4th AR...lol

Made a quick stop at a local gun shop looking for powder and happened across this jewel. Smith & Wesson model 627-5 pro series 8 shot .357 magnum.

KNS anti walk pins will help solve that.

He went from riding some ones tail on the interstate, to having some one riding his tail in the state pen.

You can't fix stupid!

I don't recall loud rap music at Vanderbilt games. I haven't been this year, however. I don't imagine you could hear it over the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Or this

10.5" AR and Glock 19

Well except for your lax in memory of how much money you had in your wallet you got all your money to cover your loss. I don't know why you were so surprised about how neat and nicely dressed they were. That is their lawyers idea. It makes them look more like upstanding pillars of the community in court. Look at those college kids that have been charged with rape next time they are ij the news. They are rough tough jock football players that look like Lawyers and Preachers when they are in court. Don't be fooled by how the are dressed. They were not dressed that way the night they broke into your car.....................jmho

  Not always. There was one real positive post this morning. And, I'm so tickled with Nashville Metro right now that I could turn cartwheels. They arrested five thievin' little bastards and got my #### back from them. Chased them down with a helicopter! I know that wasn't good samaritan stuff, but it sure was good cop stuff. In that case, I was hoping for at least one dick in the bunch.  :taser:

Just got my dad his first deer then I got one about 10 minutes later. Both were spikes and should eat well.

  What is your store? I'm from Tullahoma and would like to support the business of like minded individuals.

Sorry to hear that.  I hate a thief.   Maybe Karma will find him.  

Ditto... mediocre CZ clones for $99?... Three, please. :-)

Aero Precision makes good stuff. Buy with confidence

There are times that this place does give me hope for humanity. :)

:usa: :up: :rofl: :rock:

  If you're gonna paint the wall, you might as well do it in one coat :)

They're not going to have space to review it. Elections are less than two years out.

You naysayers just wait.  American Rifleman will review this thing and it will be the most awesome gun they've ever reviewed since last month's most awesome gun they've ever reviewed.

Nope.....just....nope.  :puke:   The high point has been dethroned.

I'm not a hunter (yet) but I am really enjoying all the posts and pics. I hope to be joining your ranks next year. There are no open hunter's safety courses until nearly March next year! I grew up in the city and had no close family or friends that hunted, so I'm kinda' trying to feel it out and figure out the how/when/where/why on my own. The sticky at the top of this subforum and everything you guys are talking about has really helped already. I've got the gun... a Marlin XL7 in 270, and plan on decking out in the rest of the gear when stuff goes on clearance after the season is over. ;-) Keep up the good posts! :-D

Excellent questions... Here's my answer... For the xtra $2K... Pride in ownership, a few more do-dads, bragging rights... By the way, im ok with all them myself... All that bein said; ... I'm kinda like Scrooge  McDuck... I'd rather put the $2K in my pocket and buy more stuff i like...   leroy scrooge

I do not approve

I'm amazed that Chatt State has it's own force...
