I couldn't think of a more deserving person to have a ship named after them... Sent from the future using my time machine made out of a Pontiac Fiero

What OS said.   Though the big question is...hair stylist?  I thought men went to barber's.  ;)

Dang my lack of abilities here. I just saw this on my Comcast startup page.   We/I have lost an idol. One of the greatest(arguably for many) actors of tv, screen and stage passed away this afternoon.    His influence on a probable 4 generations of entertainment junkies is impossible to measure.   You will be missed "Mr. Spock"   Live Long and Prosper in our memories.

After a suitable amount of time to grieve, they should make an episode of BBT where Sheldon makes a clone of him.  He DOES have his DNA afterall.   :pleased:

I know we have a lot of photographers here on TGO, myself included. There was another thread of this type a while back but it is so old a lot of the links to the photo hosting sites are no longer good so I thought that I would start a new thread so we could share our work with one another. Please contribute your own work. Here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of years. I don't care if you use my pictures for private use, I would appreciate a PM if anyone intends to use them for any other purpose.

Guys,   If all goes well, I will be shipping these Bad Boys to all on March 7th, a week ahead of schedule!!!!

Bass Pro has Unique and Bullseye available online. Choose ship to store to avoid shipping and hazmat fee's

Im with you. I want them unpinned anyways for the fun of it.

If you're doing time bonuses anyway, why not offer the option to unpin the plate racks for more bonus time?

Yep, you alone just funded my new AK purchase. $5 a minute really adds up.

Man I'm getting hyped waiting for these to come in. I have a sneaking suspicion that my LG Rockeye is about to be semi retired by these two beauties. 

I would consider changing the sight to metal a minor issue, if everything else is good to go. I have never owned a single firearm that I didn't want to change at least something on anyways.

The number of comments I could make that would probably get me removed from this forum...   That said, I know it isn't, but it should be an unarmed recon ship that is sent into hostile waters daily...     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._military_vessels_named_after_women

Guys and Gals,     For those of you who have a Runt ordered from me,   Please email me at rovmanwillis@yahoo.com the following info   1: TGO Name 2. Real Name  3. Shipping address   I am going to try and have these knifes possibly late the first week of March, if I have all of your shipping info by then they will go out the same day so please do this. I know many of you have sent the info already, but if you email me it it will all be in the same place for me to ship them out quicker     Thanks,          

Well we got the classifier out of the way, long night and thanks to everyone that made it through it! But now its time to do some moving and shooting. Stages are linked below and as you will see, its going to be fun, there will be steel, swingers, and I just finished up building the entry door so we have some new and exciting props to work with.   4 stages planned, with a 5th depending on time. As always, details below: Stages: http://www.mctsclub.com/~mctscl5/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MCTS-Indoors-3415.pdf   Setup begins at 5pm Registration at 5:30pm Shooters meeting at 5:45pm Rounds downrange at 6pm   MCTS Indoors Range located at: Sumner Gun and Supply 526 West Main Street Gallatin, TN 37066

crap,  people die.   I am sorry for his loved one's loss.   My favorite Nimoy work was "In Search Of" .  It was half of what H2 shows now in 144 episodes.  And oddly enough he only got the role because Serling died.   He did a couple episodes of Combat.  I have to search them out to see how the characters compared to Spock.

Do yourself a favor and spend some YouTube time viewing LN's videos. You'll find a episodes form Sea Hunt, The Lieutenant, Star Trek and more. He played some real smart ass jerks early on. As to his politics...well at least he didn't do a Jane Fonda number

You scared off anyone else posting their pictures by showing your own work.

Another vote for a nice double action revolver. Smith & Wesson has many options, but the nicest that you can get at a reasonable price will be the 686. New or old they are hard to beat. They are a far better range/target gun that any Tupperware gun, (I own many Tupperware guns and they are what I mainly carry) and the triggers can be made as smooth as glass.

Of course he will be Spock and always be Spock, and I really appreciate that he was in the two new Star Trek movies, but to me his favorite portraying will probably always be William Bell.

We'll see how effective NRA-ILA is in about 12 days, I guess...

Loading for long range shooting is different than just loading plinking ammo. A turret press of any brand is not going to cut it IMO. I just sold my RCBS turret because I only used it in single stage, and a single stage press does not have the flex of the turret which means more consistent ammo. That does not mean you cannot load accurate ammo with a turret press, just that runout tends to be higher.

Thanks for starting this thread; some riveting stuff in here. Sometimes a bit of thread drift is a good thing! : ) It's amazing how the Internet is fleshing out folks' knowledge of their families in that era. My GG father, gravitated from New Hampshire to Arkansas to farm and in less than a year joined a Calvary division of the Army of Arkansas. We knew he had served as a Hospital Steward and my paternal grandmother (1868 - 1960) had his saw bones kit. BUT, thanks to the web, I now have a microfiche copy of his ferry crossings and horse feed expenses (under his signature) for when he was charged with the task of apprehending deserters back in Arkansas. An odd task for a Hospital Steward used to doing limb amputations. I'll also vote for your reading "Company Aytch" by Sam Watkins. A CLASSIC! PS - (My family kind of skipped a generation by having kids late in life. G Mother born 1868 had my Dad in 1906. He had me in 1946. So luckily I new my paternal grandmother as a child. You could not mention Abraham Lincoln in her presence!)

So when are they going to name a ship after Chris Kyle or Marcus Luttrell?

I would just start out with a single stage press, which is inexpensive and what you really want anyway for your application.  Get yourself a good reloading manual and read it, then read it again.

I don't understand. I braved 400' of ice and snow to check the mailbox once again, and yet my RUNTS still had not arrived. This was the same false alarm as the last update from willis. Is this an internet scam? Is willis from Nigeria? WTF? LOL :D Sent, and thanks!

Then name it for Mark Kelly. A naval aviator who flew combat missions then went on to become an astronaut on 4 shuttle flights (pilot x2, commander x2). Yeah, I'd say that's impressive enough to have a ship named after you. That career shows a good public image for the Navy. Namings like that are usually done posthumously though, so he'll have to wait. They announced the USS Neil Armstrong (also a naval aviator before his NASA career) shortly after he died in 2012.

  I go to a barber. In a barber shop. Where we tell Obama jokes, insult each other, and watch sports.  There's a small glass cabinet of Pinaud products for sale that look like they haven't been touched since the Eisenhower administration. That's where men go for a hiarcut.

The two that I will never part with are: Glock 23 (I have a complete 19 upper and 9mm conversion barrel also) S&W 65 3" That said, a S&W 642 and Shield 9mm serve as my only carry pieces nowadays.

  Yep, demand has overridden MSRP by far on those .357 lever guns for many years now.   By sheer luck, I scored my Marlin at a WalMart for $485 about 4 years ago.   - OS

Oak Hill has an additional requirement. You have to get a signed note from the Lord himself to have any hope of getting anything done.

The HiPower gets some interest because of my interest in old/surplus guns.

No idea, but I'd like to see an animated simulation of the carnage that would ensue if it happened.   It might be the funniest thing I've ever seen; Seeing the "Industrial Technological System" as ole' Ted put it, crumble.  Some people can't wipe their own azz unless they google it first.  

Or a S&W 627-5, 8 shot 4" barrel 357 magnum. I love mine

Glock 19, bottom line.  If you don't like the Glock then S&W M&P 9    The first handgun I ever bought was a Glock 19, and I will never sell it unless we're about to starve

Your missing a good 357 Magnum there sport, Were I buying new or near new it'd be a Ruger GP-100 4". Otherwise any other pistol you obtain will be that a semi auto pistol. But a good DA/SA revolver simply defines handgun ownership.

And a truly wide open internet is one of the best ways to accomplish that. I hope no one is surprised by the net neutrality vote today. Slower service at a higher price is in our future. There is a plan and for all the public bellyaching the big companies are doing about it you know they are on board or it wouldn't be happening in the first place.   As much as I think Google is as deep in the middle of the political mess as can be at least it is ostensibly a free market offering.

Guys be very careful calling this number from a business phone.  That's how I lost my mall security job. 

How about a RIA 1911 in 9mm?

Can y'all not read the snide, tongue in cheek attitude OBVIOUS in the main page?? LMBO. This guy is hilarious! Great joke!!

Everyone should own an AR imo, and there's never been a better time price wise to get into one. You mentioned "home defense if possible", I'm not seeing any options other than the Hipoint carbine mentioned that would double in that role. Trust me when I say you could do much worse than a hipoint carbine.

As far as I'm concerned CTD is no longer in business.  They'll never see another dime from me.

  Ramjo,   Got to Love a Happy Ending to your HP story.   And Kudos to your gun shop for stepping up and fixing the issue!   :up:   

  Oh, I love this claim from the website:  When it comes to getting access to live rounds nothing is faster than the Safety Bullet. Ummm, no.... having a live round in the chamber is the quickest access to live rounds.
