sorry forgot to post the pics. i finished the tanning and it came out better than i had expected for my first attempt. sewed it up and made a new winter hat. may still do some more changes but i'm pleased with it fo now. crappy cell pics .

OK, Richard Nixon's missing 18 minutes made me forever suspicious. :rofl:  Boy, guess I really dated m'self on that one, didn't I?

Stronger blade = Zero Tolerance

you can cerakote a revolver; wife has a hot pink one.   Its fine, and relatively inexpensive, and usually can find someone in driving distance to do it if not a DYI person.   It looks sharp if its done right, and it gets rid of the rust problem.    Given the price of that gun,  and its general value, it may not be worth it but if you do it and then treat it with some respect it will be good for a lifetime going forward.  Or you can keep it maintained .. oiled and wiped and as someone said waxed, or you can use blue-touch-up pen/kit,  or whatever ... lots of ways to maintain it ... that works too.   Either choice works.

I've posted this elsewhere, but I don't trust Trump.  I sure hope I am wrong about his true intentions, but I don't think so.  You would think if he was serious about running as a republican he would not alienate 3/4 of the voters by insulting Women, Hispanics and Veterans.  The Republican party has had weak support from two of those three groups in the past.  If he happen to get the Republican nomination, he will lose, if the Republican's pick a strong nominee, he'll run third party to make them lose.  Either way its a sure win for Hillary.

Well what kind of deal can we get on a group buy some one has been holding out on his friends lol

Honestly? Leave it alone, its not all that bad. If you want to do some corrosion control put a car paste wax on it and call it a day. I'm all for refinishing a gun when its really necessary but tend to believe a cerntan level of blue wear only defines character.

Blasphemy.  Get it reblued if you must.

San Fran is on my personal list, for all the reasons you mention, plus I want to sit out on a boat in McCovey Cove, listen to a Giants game on the radio, and hope to see some home run balls come into the water. I'd also take in a game inside the stadium, as they have a great beer selection from what I hear.

Gosh!!!  A lot of great opinions for sure. As I listen to Trump answer that first question it sounded like he is trying to blackmail all of the republican and conservative voters when he said he will not rule out a third party candidate run. I don't think he wold run a third party because he saw what happened when Ross Perot did it and it cost the party the election. I do look for him to run a full run right up to the point of no return and then drop out and throw his support behind a candidate.At least that is what i hope he does and is not really stupid enough to make a 3rd party run knowing he can't win.   I'm not a Trump guy but would vote for him if he got the nomination. I would like to see more out of Rubio, Carson and Cruz and maybe a little more from Huckabee which surprised me a little from his previous debates and had a more stern sound to his replies than in the past...........jmho

   Plus there's some part of NO they still don't understand.

I've always preferred the poon flavored tang, myself. :yum: :rofl:

Yep. The copper can tint the water but that mostly looks like mud and silt being washed down stream. Now if that'd been an accidental realease caused by a mine worker a rather large fine and subsiquent clean up would be required. Somehow I don't think EPA's going to do anything other than use Superfund Money...

Looks sbout like any river or stream in Alabama after it rains.

Our law makes it clear that we don't execute people who are mentally ill, and nobody who is objective and honest can say this guy isn't seriously mentally ill.  Besides, it costs more to use capital punishment than it does to put someone away for life.

Sad, but maybe living is worse for him.

IT is like witchcraft. When it works, no one acknowledges that you had anything to do with it, and when it doesn't, they want to burn you at the stake.

Guys I am not going to mess around here, so listen up:   -- There exists NO retail operation that hasn't let someone down, pissed someone off, or otherwise dissatisfied at least one customer.   -- The Internet makes it entirely possible for one unhappy person to malign a business to financially damaging degrees, just because they have an axe to grind.   -- The retail public these days (you and ME) can be some of the most ungrateful, demanding, whiney-assed babies any of us have ever seen.  What seems like no big deal to 9/10 people may be the end of the damn world for that 10th guy and then he starts grinding that axe (See point 2 above).       When it comes to complaining about not being recognized with a smile, or thinking a gun was priced too high, or ammo was too scarce, or someone didn't stroke your fur the right way, really that is all SUBJECTIVE to the person doing the griping.  But for some reason, misery loves company on the Internet and people are all too happy to jump into the dog-pile and ruin the reputation of a business and hurt the finances of the PEOPLE working at, reliant upon, and owning those businesses.   I'm really just sick of it.   And more importantly, when it comes to a paying vendor who SPONSORS this site, I just am not going to allow it.   If you have a legitimate beef with a sponsor of TGO, take it up with them privately.  If you think a sponsor poses a significant risk to the physical or financial well-being of the TGO members at large, present your case to ME PRIVATELY and I will consider it and take action if it is warranted.   But if you're just sour that someone had an item you wanted, at a price you weren't willing to pay... put on your big boy pants and realize that life isn't fair and a business can charge whatever they want.  It's capitalism, baby!  It's what makes America awesome.         Jeez frickin Louise!!!   Can't even have a nice thread congratulating two of our local shops on becoming an even bigger operation to serve the local shooters.  We've gotta sit around and figure out how we can eat our own.   :rant:

I agree on the G2. Kyguncompany has had the G2 for $200 new recently and is a great value.

Good.

If you decide to cerakote it, Fighting Sheep Dog on Edgemore road in Powell does a great job and they are vendors here as well. Sent from the backwoods

Guy on the bike got hassled. He most likely is from out of state as evidenced by the "ccw" comment. Sent using wizardry.

Ungodly hot in Auburn Alabama. Wish I could be there

Beach wise, we've been to Hilton Head several times and like it there. It's pretty quiet and comparatively inexpensive. This year we're going to St. George Island FL with my in-laws. We went there a number of years ago and liked it. I'd also really like to travel out west. Fly into Denver, rent a car, and see how much we can see in a week. My wife really wants to go to Hawaii... But that's just not in the budget.

Good deal here. I'm buying a couple for friends I owe favors. Well not really favors...just good friends.

That's a really good price, I bought a 6920 upper a couple yrs ago for $650 I might know a place where you can pick up a few more...

Probe , Uranus , Tang ; shouldn't this post be in the adult section ?

Another vote of confidence for the MI SS rail. I have a 15 inch on mine and I love it .

The death penalty is nothing more than state-sponsored murder and even when I really want to, I cannot morally be OK with condoning that.

  Yep, he's good to go and does great work!

I would personally do the Desantis before the sticky holster...but thats just me. I need something with a hook on it and the sticky holster relies on friction to stay in place so it can move around if you pull a gun out of your pocket. Just my 2 cents anyway...

Ah where's the Citizen Kane gif when you need it.

Dahmer got life too.  Maybe mister orange hair will get his brains bashed in on the rim of a toilet too.  One can only hope.

I'm extremely disappointed in Fox News after tonight's debate... 1.) It was a circus and unorganized. 2.) They picked fights between candidates and tried to make Jeb Bush look like a knight in shining armor. 3.) They made it a point to try and bury Trump early "literally the first question" and never looked back after that. Fair and unbiased my ass...

Trump:  No shock moment, which was the shock.  I pissed myself laughing at the Rosie O'Donnell comment, but he blew the bankruptcy question.  He should have compared his bad investments with bad government programs saying we need to cut our losses and walk away from them like he did the bankrupt businesses he has on his record.    Bush:  Playing for time...he knows he has the money to outlast most of that stage, so he's not going to go strong in the 1st debate.   Walker:  Wasn't as aggressive as I thought he would be, kind of a meh night for him.   Huckabee:  Not bad, but not good. I don't see staying power from him, however.   Rubio:  Great job making the most of his time; probably what he and his team drilled on based on what I saw.   Carson:  Had good answers, but needs to be more assertive to get that "strong leader" aspect.   Cruz:  Came across as a weasel to me; I really think he should have stayed on the legal side of politics- he could have been a future Republican SCOTUS nominee instead of getting into the legislature and running for President with his pedigree.   Paul:  Getting lost in the crowd, and isn't pushing the libertarian message that brought him to the dance well enough.   Christie:  Needs to drop out riki tik; did nothing for himself tonight.   Kasich:  Fairly good, you can tell he's been in a debate before.  He's hoping all the God talk will resonate with the base that might be seeing him for the first time.

Well, I think you can watch The Donald's polling lead start throttling back now.   - OS

  Cruz would lose hugely, no matter who the veep, no matter who the Dem opponent. Won't have to worry about it though.   - OS

  He can propose all the taxes he wants, but House and Senate have to pass it before he can sign it.

  Gave home my whole gun too. He has also done multiple rifles for a friend of mine. Great guy to work with.

  No worries with Amendment 2. 'I gave him my whole gun. Lots of folks will vouch for him.

If this is happening on a regular basis and she's not owner/co-owner they need to let her go. If she is owner/co-owner they still need to let her go! You can't teach someone how to interact with people, it's natural.

  I'm not a lawyer, don't play one on TV, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express(R) last night, so I'm not going to say anything you said is wrong, but I am sure as heck not going to be the test case. ;)

I probably wouldn't have really cut it off......   The issue with wrapping index finger around the trigger guard is that MOST people who do that , whether they recognize it or not, actually tend to pull the muzzle down with that pressure they are applying to the trigger guard and the way they grip the gun is not the same every time. Consistency in results requires consistency in application and if the grip is not the same the gun moves around. If the gun moves around then the results are....Suboptimal.   Once you "cut out" that bad habit I think you will be happy with the results.

Don't know why I've never done it, I have the skills, and the equipment, it just never occurred to me. Now that I have, I don't know that I won't add several more to my stable. Call me crazy, but I can actually feel the 1.5" difference missing from the OAL. Enough of that, on to some specs. -14.5" 1/8 twist Faxon Firearms mid length medium profile barrel with 11 degree crown. -pinned and welded strike industries Venom -ARMS polymer BUIS (probably changing) -12" MI quad rail -Mega "tactical" adjustable trigger (I'll withhold recommending it until I have several rounds down range with it) I'm undecided on optics. I'm contemplating an Acog but it's hard for me to commit to. I go back and forth between a red dot/magnifier combo, acog, and a vortex 1-4. Here are some very rough pictures of the process of pinning and the final product. I used high temp paint that's designed for engine blocks and is chemical resistant to paint over the weld. I purposely left some weld just in case I run into an overzealous agent of our dear government. And a small AR group picture, because why not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You know I feel the same way on one hand but on the other hand the arrogance of that guy and others on the matter just pisses me off. I can't say I am in the situation or have the resources to be the test case but I dang sure hope someone has the balls to tell them to go fly a kite.   Frankly I think we all have cause to be "offended" by it. How is it that people walk on eggshells around the issues of gay whatever, or civil rights (not belittling those), but when it comes to 2A rights no one worries about saying "nope not in my house." Especially when it isn't even their house!

The XS Big Dot is well worth consideration for a defensive handgun especially for aging eyes. Mr. Tncobra's well stated experience matches mine.

  The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs cost about $25 billion, and that was in 1960's dollars.  For all that money, and a decade of work, we got a few hundred pounds of moon rocks and dust.  However, as a direct result of the research and development done to allow those journeys, we transformed the modern world in ways never imagined, to include GPS, improved satellite and land-based communications and many new materials which are in daily use today, not to mention the revolution in computing power and electronics caused by the need to miniaturize electronic instrumentation and computers on board the ships.  The total value of the spin-off technologies of our earlier endeavors in space is likely in the tens, if not hundreds of trillions of dollars, a pretty good ROI in anyone's estimation ...

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