I guess most of you read the post I made about the guy blocking his number and then calling me up and threatening to beat my head into mush about week or 10 days ago. The police were actually able to do a back check with the information my phone server provided and tracking where the voice mail originated from his phone. They found out who he is and also that he has an arrest record and is on probation right now. He lives in Westmoreland. They have issued a warrant for his arrest because of the threats he made on my life. The Gallatin Police Officer told me that they will be making an arrest very soon and ask if I would be willing to testify at his trial and I assured them that I would. At the present time I cannot reveal his name and to be all honest I never thought any more about the issue until the officer just left my home a few minutes ago. I am glad for the great police work which I didn't think would happen did happen.......... :up: :up:

Who knew TGO would be a hot bed for astronomy talk today.   First Dolomite watching out for Uranus and now this :)

This is made from 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel. The blade is 9 1/4" and AOL of 14 1/2". It has a matte finish and walnut scales. I guess you could call it a small chopper or large camp knife. I may just send this out for a nice leather sheath.

I'm happy for you but advertising it ain't doing you no favors.  Broadcast an edible carcass and ALL the buzzards will show up.  The range may even see the value in it and put a stop to it all together.  Charlie Haffner got smart and if you didn't shoot it, you can't pick it up.  He sells it and makes a good little chunk of change from it.  I don't blame him at all.  I would do the same.   In a few words, ALWAYS keep a good thing under your hat.  Just my opinion which ain't worth much.

None

  That very statement was probably said to explorers long ago.

  13 gallons was left, i measured :jester:

1st pictures coming in already. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Pluto_zpsmfht9ykz.jpg.html][/URL]

I think it's important to look at Allen West in light of where he exists. The comparison with Sharpton, though harsh - is not as far off as it may sound. West is no longer a "public servant" - though he remains in the public sphere. This alone is probably illustrative of his intent and ambitions. Upon losing the election in 18th district of Florida, he accepted a handsome salary to be a pundit at Fox News. As such - his job as it exists today - isn't to serve a constituency, it's not to move the dialog on a given issue forward. Rather, it's to sell the message that his bosses - in this case Murdoch's 21st Century Fox want him to deliver to the public. Sure, he has a say in that dialog, but he makes a handsome salary delivering it. He is in essence a foil to the likes of Sharpton, but he's a salesman all the same. This is the light within which I primarily view him as a politician. Beyond that, I've a great deal of respect for anyone who willingly signs a contract to put on the uniform of the United States military and defend our country. I can even understand the circumstances and the logic that led to his decisions in Taji. Those decisions however, probably ought to disqualify him for any higher office. I know there's a great clammer in certain circles to get him to throw his hat in the ring for president. I just can't see a Commander in Chief who's held a mock execution for a prisoner that was under his control.

   The worst losers of all were the nine people whose murders were immediately forgotten in the headlong rush to get rid of the flag.

So now we get ready for the 9mmJHP shortage?

I purchased the pump yesterday at harbor freight, $55 total for it..and about $20 in pvc piping up the hill to my IBC tote.. :woohoo:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzmXmfv5WYM

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/07/13/it-showtime-for-pluto-prepare-to-be-amazed-by-nasa-flyby/   This will be cool, it flys by Tuesday but i heard it takes 14 hours at the speed of light to get the pics back to earth, that's a loooong way away. Even if it's just a round rock at least we will know.

Recently got the itch to pick up a smaller 9mm...after holding a bunch of guns including the smaller versions of my M&P I fell in love with the look and feel of this one and picked it up last Friday. Took it to my buddies land this past weekend and put about 100 rounds through it with zero issues. Love the accuracy and fixed barrel...I like the trigger quite a bit but its got a long reset "I'm used to 1911's" but over all very happy with it.

  Howdy! I'm down not far from Kroger and the Liquor Stores

I may need to borrow that sear for my next match!!!

As long as you supply the ammo I'll bring a posty lower :)

I use a Desantis superfly pocket holster and never had trouble with the safety disengaging

Maybe they are thinking about going to the to JHP because they purchased about a billion of them back several years ago in that big ammo buy up of Hollow points and now figured out what they bought them for ain't gonna happen so now to save Military spending they will use stuff they already have................jmho

i ended up buying a matthews mission crossbow last year.  I liked that i could restring it myself at home with no press.  Ive taken it hunting once, one shot, one kill.

Leroy, thanks for the input. I think you're spot on in your analysis of the 22 Hornet as a reloadable round for small varmint hunting. I have rifles in the .222 and .223 calibers and probably should just use them for coyote hunting. I'm just thinking that the .22 Hornet could be used on fox and bobcat, with less hide damage... and possibly on a yote too.

I just ordered a Jericho 941 F Black Steel 9mm, I have been wanting one of these for a long time, now since IWI does them my love for my Tavor is what pushed me over the edge, I hope to have it by this weekend :cool:

Sidewinder, I've noticed your evolution in thinking over the last couple of weeks from .17HMR to 22WMR to .22 Hornet now.  Now that you're in centerfire calibers, your options open up a lot.  I don't remember if you have other constraints affecting your decision, but why not go with a more common, more available caliber like .223?     You can download rounds into the above caliber energies if you like, but you can also load some real hot ones.  Likewise, the ammo available off the shelf probably makes it pretty easy to stock and consume.

As far as coyotes? No personal experience. But it's no great secret, the .22 Hornet will bust Willey Coyote's ass.

I have bought a few through them as well, I always try to use them first they have a no Bullshit lifetime warranty and stand by it

One thing about OTF knives, they will collect lint,use lighter fluid in the Microtechs, this will not stick to Lint and pocket debres like oil will. The last few Microtech OTF knives I have owned were extremely hard to open and close, to a point that I sold them off   Again oil will cause crap to stick inside where Lighter fluid will clean and not stick,  so flush them with it, also if the blade ever comes off track, (which they will at some point) a strong flick of the wrist flicking it outward will reset it on the track I have owned over 20 OTF Microtechs over the years and have never had to open one

Lots of outta the box accuracy for the money! I have a couple and love them!

Ive had no negatives with them at all!

I've bought from them at least twice and there were no surprises, no hidden fees.  All went smoothly and I'd do it again.  I haven't had to use their warranty.

Back when I was bow hunting before this was just how I did it, I could draw 65-70 pounds but I kept my bow set at 55 and slung about 100 arrows per day. I figured shot placement was more important than power.

Or you can have paypal credit (no cc).  There are some good deals, i.e. spend $100 on ebay, get 6 mos to pay no interest.  Most of my Christmas items came due this past pay cycle.  Great service, just pay in full.    I have used paypal a very long time, maybe 10+ years.  Not one issue whatsoever.  Have maybe 500+ transactions on ebay (mostly buying, probably 10% as a seller).

I couldn't agree more, robtattoo.   Sometimes I wonder if it's machismo that makes guys want a 70# bow or if the bow industry is just that good at convincing the market that today's deer will only die if the arrow is going 330 feet per second. I can sling a lot more practice arrows with 45-55# bow before I get tired too.

I believe I had #13 for the rockeye run. So I will take #13 if it is available. If not, #8, #9, or #26. Two tone.

There is no "owner" of the CRC (Chattanooga Rifle Club) so no one can really lay claim to the brass other than the shooter. The club etiquette on brass is that you clean up after your self. Sweep nonreloadable .22/steel/aluminum off the pad and pick up reloadable brass. If you reload take it with you if you do not leave it on the bench or counter for someone who does.

You can also add a credit card to a PayPal account for payments.  I use it for all my purchases, but you have to manually select it for each purchase, only a bank can be the default payment mode.

In it. Post for updates. I'm excited about this one.

I have mine linked to my checking account. When I buy w/PayPal it just takes it right out. If someone pays to your account it can stay there to use later or get them to put it into your bank account. If you buy from a business, the fees will be on them, if private sale one or the other pays the fee depending on the agreement. Sending to friends or family is no fee.

I used to be a dealer and sold guns through Davidson's gallery of guns. The dealer programs his markup into davidsons website and when you order Davidson's sends the gun right out to him. I always tried to find another gun or two to add to the shipment to save a little on shipping costs. I didn't make a lot of money on the guns but lots of the time the customers liked my service and came back and bought a gun from me later or picked up ammo when they got their gun. Davidson's sends a warrenty card with the gun. Be sure to fill itout and send it in. If they can not repair your gun, they replace it. Seemed to work pretty well.

I stopped by last Friday. It is very nice. I bought some specialty rimfire ammo at a decent price. Extremely friendly people.

If a man ain't proud of where he lives, why don't he move to where he would be?     Segregation works, I just don't believe it should be forced.  If everyone lived with their own 'KIND' everyone could get along a lot better.  It would require a LOT of neutral zones in this day and age but it's doable and would work great.  Don't like what we're doing?  GTFO.     BTW, 'kind' is NOT racial but political and personal.

El Conquistador,  That's pretty good.  About as good as Il Duce naming his the Titanic so when he plugs it up it says "The Titanic is Syncing"   

  The idea that .45ACP JHP incapacitates any more reliably than 9MM+P JHP is highly debatable.  The 9mm is the only handgun cartridge that makes any sense for a military sidearm these days.   With the .45 you give up capacity and follow-up shot speed, and gain practically nothing.

  I wonder if my buddy Mark Lancaster over at Squared Away Customs has anything for them.  I'll do some checking.

My ancestors had no dog in this hunt as far as War Between The States as they never landed on American shores until 1878. I was born and raised above the Mason Dixon line until I went in the service in 1966. After I completed military service in 92 we moved to Tennessee and have been happy to call the south our home. Regardless what anyone says I see this unfortunate war caused by many reasons...not just one as so many claim. I've never felt the need to fly the Stars and Bars but on the other hand I've never been offended by it. I fly the Stars and Stripes from the front of my house and Gadsden Flag off the side of my workshop out back. With all the total nonsense lately about the Stars and Bars I now find it necessary to add it to the side of my workshop. I hope you born and bred southerners don't take offense by that. If you do then tough toenails. I'll be adding a small flag to my sig line here if I can find one I feel is appropriate in size. God Bless the United States of America and God Bless Dixie.

Are you saying certain symbols might repel certain unwanted Yankees, hmmm.........

  Sorry for the hijack, but West's reputation that took him to Congress and made him a conservative talking head is based on his military service to a large extent.  Even on his own webpage, he has "Steadfast and Loyal," the 4th Infantry Division motto, as his own.  So, I think what he did in that service is relevant.   He's also off topic as far as the flag goes.  Removing it won't solve any of the problems in the black community, but that's not the point.  The point is that government use of racist, and rebellious symbology is wrong and shouldn't be.

When you are an opportunistic black man, one of the easiest ways to fill the coffers is to say things that most whites can't or won't. The same thing is happening on the other side, so unless you are willing to jump off of the merry go round, MSNBC, FOX, Sharpton and West are always going to exaggerate the issues that Americans face, so that they can keep their profitable playgrounds running.

I find this very funny about grass. The Federal government says it is illegal to sell, grow use or buy but some states make it legal and the federal government doesn't go after the states. But, the Federal government says gay marriage is legal and will force states that have made it illegal to comply. Just saying

I purchased a Zastava M70a a few months ago from Bud's Guns. I had to have the first one sent back for replacement because the magazine disconnect safety kept locking up the trigger even when the magazine was fully seated in the pistol. I still haven't taken the replacement that I received to the range, but the magazine disconnect safety doesn't seem to be defective thus far. I wouldn't trust this as a carry gun because of the magazine disconnect issues. I found a video on YouTube where a guy was talking about this problem and showing what the likely cause was.
