I have been a member here for quite a while. I don't post a lot because most of you have forgotten more than I'll ever know. I have learned a lot here and just wanted to say I appreciate this forum and all of you very much. This is the best run forum I've ever seen and that is due to David and the mods and the fine members. Thanks TGO for lessening my ignorance and educating me over the years

Why waste time educating kids at all? Why not just tell the truth, they want a daycare for propaganda programming. Stupid and severely dependent never fathom revolt against the system.

Norton is by FAR one of the worst Anti-virus companies on the planet...way better options out there. Ever since Symantec bought Norton from the creator it has gone down hill. Love, A Systems Engineer

Doomsday Clock just drop-kicked itself into irrelevance due to the citing of global-warming/climate-change.

What do they expect these kids to do when they get to college?   Maybe this is what the 2 years of free community college is all about? So they can begin to teach high shcool level?

  That's so evil Hozzie.   I'm all about giving people like this choices.   For instance ,   take the offender to a small shed. Inside the shed sits a table that's been nailed to the floor. Nailed to that table is a vice. Simply place offenders junk in said vice and wind down to secure junk will not slip out. remove handle. give offender a rusty knife. Proceed to set shed on fire.   And let the choices begin...... :popcorn:

My wife works at the service desk at our local Walmart & hates it when the weather forecast says "snow or storm". She says you'd be surprised at how many people actually bring back a lot of milk, bread, eggs, ect for a refund a few days afterwards that don't get used. :down:

While not admitting to anything lets just say experience can be instructive. After a while, "my friend" realized that there must be a better way. Enter goosenecks and 5th wheels. Who knew it was so expensive to repair the back of truck cabs. Along those lines it took me a few years to realize that i get stuck about the same amount in my 2 wheel drive truck as I did my jeep. The money saving part came in "where" the vehicle gets stuck. My favorite Dave Ramsey phrase: How do you get good judgement? Experience How do you get experience? Bad judgement...

Do you have room to put a small hydraulic bottle jack in there? Brace it against the other side and start pumping. Not that I've ever had to do that or anything...

You did a damn fine job refurbishing that trailer. Congratulations on a job well done. :up:

How about a train ride? My wife took her mother on a ride and had a VERY good time. Not loud, comfortable, nice scenery. Try Tennessee Central Railway Museum.

I've spent some time in Saudi Arabia at the invitation of King Abdullah.  They've got their issues - human rights and otherwise.  But, make no mistake.  His was a voice of moderation in the middle East, and they are an important ally.  I hope that their transition is a smooth one.  We need that, and so does the middle East at large.    If we lose a moderate voice in the region, we all lose.

I won't even read this.  I would also chain the bastard to a tree and leave him until he rots.

I echo what Pain said-     Keep it on your person, completely under your control and you should be fine.  I would add that I would keep it concealed and keep my mouth shut about it.  It never hurts to be discreet.   :pleased:  

I'll say the best thing you can do in reference to a gunfight is to avoid it.   Pay attention to your surroundings all the time. Head outta the smartphone!

 I heard of this forum on another that I’ve been a member of for a couple of years and decided to join you folks since I’m also a Tennessean. I was born and raised in Oklahoma just south of Tulsa but finished up my military career here and decided to stay.    I spent just shy of 21 years in the Navy, retired and went to work for the Postal Service ( I can already hear the boos and hisses) as an electronics technician. I worked there for 26 years without going Postal and retired 6 years ago.    I’ve dabbled around with just about every aspect of guns and shooting, including reloading, casting and muzzleloading, but in my opinion, am only mediocre at any of them. As you can tell from my user name, I didn’t get a lot of shooting experience while in the Navy. Our small arms proficiency test was to surface out in the middle of nowhere, go topside and try to hit the ocean.   :D    I’m looking forward to learning on this forum and maybe even meeting some of the members.      Chip    

We like shooting pool or bowling.   She might not be a redneck, however.

If you have to go store brought, Smukers it is. Homemade just spreads so much better even directly out of the refrigerator. 

I have allot of PB$J.   My PB might have come from the supermarket, but I have a kitchen cabinet full of Amish Jelly. (it is so good).  Very close to what mom used to make.  This spring, we plan for her to help me learn to make it right.

  Luckily my trailer tongue is long enough that it clears all the way to the jack if I'm cornering. My bumper is high enough and the drop hitch drops the tongue below it farther. It makes it harder for me to do what you did....which would make me sick by the way. As stout as that tongue is, it would probably do more to my truck than the tongue!      Thank you Mark. I think it may be! I'm even glad they work for daytime use now.   Had a friend have that happen did ya?  :rofl:

Congrats on the lights. Was starting to believe working lights on a trailer was against the law in Tennessee.. Nice looking litte trailer. Everytime I get a small one I love it. Eventually I get rid of it to make room or something then I go through withdrawal until I get another one. You might consider some of that roll on bedliner stuff. It makes things a bit harder to slide in but it sure is nice if you have to climb up on the trailer when it is wet. Ask me how I know...

I have a 5x10 tilt, and the "A" frame tongue is bent where I jack-knifed it backing up (forgot it was there... can't see it in my truck... lucky didn't hit anything else :nervous: ). Now I just have to figure out how to straighten it or find someone who can

My browning A bolt 243 with some Hornady 95gr takes down deer just fine. I see your point.

Bought the last light kit like yours at the TSC in Triune, gonna order another for the boat trailer on-line. So far I have all the hardware and will start on it tomorrow. I hate going to that store - always end up spending way more than I wanted.

  My personal favorites are the out of state check-ins. My wife still uses it and we see her friends posting that they are at the beach currently. I've been tempted to go to their house and take a mock picture of me with a crowbar at their back door, but it would be my luck some turd would break in and then I would get the blame.

Good it's about time they did this!  We can't have the smart kids hurting the "feels" of the dumb kids!  Social Justice!!

The dumbing down of America continues.

I really like it...but giving up 15 rounds in a G20 seems like too much of a stretch to trade my glock in for one.     We need a HK VP10!

I think you'll find TGO home to more bacon operators than ham operators.

Love me some K5 Blazers!  My grandfather had an '85 for much of my childhood.  I inherited it nearly 30 years later when he passed away, but unfortunately the truck had so much rust beneath the floor in the cargo area that all I could do was, with great sadness, sell it to someone who wanted a hunting truck.   One of these days I'd like to pick up another in good shape for sentimental value.

Doesn't sound like Norton did a good job of protecting it since you ended up having to reset it anyways.   Well, at least it spotted it and warned you so you could take corrective steps.

So can we start counting days back to those higher gas prices ? The sole reason I paid attention this morning when they announced his death is to see if he was the guy in charge of the switch on the oil wells :) For those that care about gas prices, I thought this was the old guy that claimed oil prices would NEVER be high again as long as he lived. Well sh!t, we can't catch a break !

Agree. :up: There are good people here that take the time to make well researched posts that help everyone learn. That is across the board from gun rights, gun related laws, NFA weapons, politics, trusts, etc. :) I also appreciate all the work David does here to keep this place going, technically and financially.  :cheers:  This is the #1 gun forum I visit.  :no1:

Can't wait to try out my shotgun

IMO Bryant Gumbel is a pimple on the butt of the American media.

Be there or be square.

We don't hear about the peace loving muslims, only the Extremists. Remember, the news sells fear and that is where some in the government want us to be. Fearful of a new enemy. First it was the germans/Japanese/Italians, then during the cold war it was Russia and any communist country, then it was Iran, Iraq and lately it has been terrorists in the middle east or with ties to the middle east.   As long as they( government) keep the public in fear, they will have to rely on the government for protection. Thus, justifies it's existance. More military spending, special operations, etc...   If the US government would keep out of these other countries business, then we might not have such a target on our country. At least that is what it seems.

I'm pretty much an under-the-radar kind of guy.    I like to think in the event of civil un-rest, natural disaster, zombie outbreak or good old fashioned revolution, should there be a need  for the "militia" to be called up, citizen soldiers as it were, that I would be an asset and welcome addition to help protect me and mine as well as those who could not serve or protect themselves.    

Right on... you hear that, fellas?! Buy your guns this spring and summer, cuz when fall comes around it's knife time again! :-) Thanks for all you do for us, Willis!

I don't want a single stack 10MM. I have a 44 mag for high power/low capacity. For me, a 10MM has to be about power AND capacity. Love my Witness Elite Match 10MM. I'd think about a G40 if someone offered extended capacity mags for it. If I were to get a single stack 10MM, it'd be something like a DW 1911.

  They are in charge of the White House.

White Christians commit plenty of terrorist acts too. As a matter of fact the record for most deaths at a school killing in the United States is still attributed [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster] to a white 55 year old school board treasurer.[/url]       There is evil in the whole world. No matter who or what, or what isn't your god. This country was founded on the ideal of freedom, and with freedom comes danger. That is the cost. Statistics clearly show that violent crime is on the overall downstroke. I fully believe that this is due to law abiding citizens carrying guns. There always have been, and always will be thugs who don't want to follow the rules. Again, no matter the skin tone, or socioeconomic background. A criminal is a criminal. Whether he is motivated by god, drugs or greed.   One thing I have learned in my life though, standing a round wringing my hands and working myself into a frenzy doesn't do anyone any good.   I know several Muslims, I currently work with a gentleman in a professional setting. He is calm, succinct, and good about his job. As a matter of fact one of the reasons that he and I work together, and well I might add, is that no one else in the office will even talk to him. I was even approached by a coworker and asked something that floored me, 'What if he cuts your head off?' It dumbfounds me that people can be so ignorant in such a connected world. When all the information of the world is at your fingertips, why are we more hateful and close-minded now than we have ever been?     Now, if I do get my head cut-off, you can all tell me I was wrong.

  I didn't realize how screwed up it is. I reckon I better shoot mine some more. My Gen 4 trigger feels exactly like my Gen 3 triggers

    Maybe if he was on fire.   Maybe.

That will NOT buff out!   :stunned:

  Problem is, they vote in your world.   - OS

Someone needs a little situational awareness bump.  I'd hope my spidy senses would kick in if some nut job was following me.

Wow, great! - where did E's original face shot come from? Anyway, it remains to be seen whether ATF will even attempt to actually enforce this opinion at all. They only have to prosecute one person to make the point, but then they open it up to courts, all the way to the top. I still say they won't risk it. Reversing the original opinion that these type braces are indeed stocks is the clear cut way to prevent them from being used for shoulder fire. - OS

http://store.accurate-mag.com/savageshortactionbottommetalkit.aspx This is the bottom metal & mags. It is indeed a .308, my intention was to end up with a rifle I would be completely happy taking anywhere on the continent to hunt. From Florida swamp to Wyoming prairie. I know there are better calibers out there, but 308 seems like a fine choice for 20-600 yds. I do like those chassisis'ses (dahell's the plural of chassis anyway?) & it would've been a much simpler option, but I prefer a traditional looking rifle. I've read up a bunch on the MDT stuff & if you've wanting to go ultralight weight, that's about as good as it gets. Downside is having to pop an extra $65 on top for a mag.

Those are good but I like Clint Smiths better from Thunder Ranch..............jmho   "Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!" "An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity." "A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'" "When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away." "I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy." "The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental." "You cannot save the planet. You may be able to save yourself and your family." "You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it." "You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language." "Don't shoot fast, shoot good." "If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for." "If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin, you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick." "Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. I may get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, cause it's gonna be empty." "Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way." "Every time I teach a class, I discover I don't know something." "The two most important rules in a gunfight are: always cheat and always win." "The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight. ...I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead."
