I have recently acquired another JMB design. This particular gun's serial number puts it in the 1908-1909 production. It is chambered in 25 auto. Can't wait to shoot it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just got to spend a little time talking with TN-popo today. Great guy for sure. Enjoyed meeting him and talking about things. Hope to get to spend more time with him talking about things in the future...... :up: :up:

Well, I decided to get it. Not exactly what I was looking for, as I wanted one that was not so nice that I'd have reservations of hunting with it. However, I just thought it was too pretty and priced too well not to get it. It's the Cowboy Limited version in 44 mag. It has the cross bolt safety, but is still a "JM" gun built in North Haven. It came with an assortment of ammo too. Obligatory porn...

    You cannot say that because a person has a couple of beers that they forfeit their right to defend themselves.  That just ain't right. You can say that you cannot carry a handgun in public after you have had a couple of beers. So you have to answer one question (do you feel lucky?) or...Is there anything at Lowes that you need bad enough to risk getting busted over? I don't drink often, but when I do, I stay on the porch. in my boxer shorts, with my western leather rig, singing "Rippy I aye Ki aye!" Which is why I don't drink often....

I blame the US Supreme Court. Just a few years ago we'd have never had a story about two Johnsons fighting over a cock.

This is what I want.

I concur. I have only met Dralarms and Erik88. After I meet Eric he moved to FL. So I assumed I shouldn't meet anyone else. And if anyone else has met Gerald (dralarms) they understand why I couldn't run him off. LOL

That's going to be pretty hard to get anything into.  Even a syringe with wood glue will most likey not penetrate deep enough to really fix the issue.  A slow drying cyanoacrylic may seep about as good as anything and would probably work as well as wood glue at this point.  I think both wood glue and epoxy will be too thick to be effective.   A trip to Woodcraft in Franklin may be worth it. http://www.woodcraft.com/product/149430/instant-bond-ca-adhesive-thin-2oz.aspx

if you are responsible a CC can be a good thing.  If you are not responsible then you will have issues.  It is pretty simple.

Welcome Audrey to the world folks :) 9lbs even, 20" long, and healthy :)

Sam1 is right, does every post in general chat have to turn into a pissing contest? OP was just asking for advice and got a couple different views, why not let him decide what is best for him?   People need to lighten up a little, :2cents:

Don't worry about what the "experts" at ARFCOM are saying. For 99% of the users out there these kits are just fine. And for the price if you break a part or two who cares but I suspect you will not have any issues unless you are a really heavy user.

How many magazines do you think you'd like to have?  Coming from New York you should give this serious thought.  If you're going to be a magazine slut (like say more than 20, and if that is the criteria then I certainly qualify) then consider that Glock factory mags are some of the least expensive out there.  You can get new ones for $20 and police trade-ins for around $15.  The new Magpul Glock mags are also $15.  Ergonomical issues can be dealt with through practice (which you should be doing a lot of anyway).  Cost of ownership never goes away.

This has been shared on my units FB page - hopefully I'm in town and can make it.

You didn't start a whole thread when you met me  :cry:   :rofl:

Why would you bring up Natural Light in a conversation about beer? That's like bringing up Rosie O' Donnel in a conversation about women.

I live about 4 miles from the cemetery, so I am going to try to be there if work will allow me the brief time away.

That's completely understandable. But a chicken?

And you are TOTALLY missing the point of the conversation. Over and over. You have a CHOICE when it comes to credit. You can choose to extend yourself and get into debt. Or you can be a millionaire (my parents) and get tons of free stuff at no expense to you, simply for using plastic instead of carrying around $15k in cash all the time. (I have a funny story of Dad paying for a pair of jetskis in small bills because the salesman pissed him off. Took dude almost 2 hrs to count it all, haha!) Sure, you don't NEED a credit card to pay for airplane tickets. You can pay in cash or check. Some folks, who are smart enough to realize and use the advantages afforded to them at no cost simply don't have to pay for them. At. All. Before GM put low limits on their cash rebates towards vehicles, my Dad regularly got anywhere from another $3k-7k off the new Tahoe he bought with cash every 2 years, simply for using a GM card for his business expenses. He did not buy things he shouldn't have because he had a credit card, he simply used that instead of cash or check whenever he gassed up work vehicles, bought tools or meals. He needed gas, tools, and food regardless of the payment method. You can enjoy an aversion to credit, but facts are facts. You keep saying that if you use a credit card you are paying interest. Do you understand that that is not necessarily true? If I buy $1k worth of stuff, and then pay my card off in full within the usual 20-30 days from the statement date, I only pay them the $1k. Nothing more. That is the key to the whole mystery. As for the 20% downpayment for a house: congrats! That's great! Very happy you had the ability to do that! When my wife and I bought our house one year after college, we did not have almost $40k in the bank for a down payment. What we did have were excellent credit histories and solid jobs at the time. We got a rate just one quarter of one percent over prime. An excellent rate no matter your financial situation. As rates came down we refinanced again, and now to a 15 year loan and are shaving quite a bit off the back of that as well. Our cars are also paid for. The breakdown in this logic that credit causes debt is just as blatant as the sad, pathetic, and just plain stupid idea that Moms Demand Action and their ilk push... they say guns cause crime, and if we remove guns from people, crime will stop. The FBI proves that to be a lie. It is generally the IMPROPER USE of guns by people who should not have them in the first place that causes nearly all firearm crime. Similarly it is the IMPROPER USE of credit by people who are ill-equipped to handle the responsibility or by people who just shouldn't have it at all that gets people in debt. (Housing crisis, anyone?) Greed, instant gratification, sometimes a feeling of hopelessness and a lack of understanding of compound interest are the problems. Not available credit. Credit cards are tools just like firearms, hammers, and cars. Making mistakes with any of them can cost you. I won't call anyone a fool who properly uses a hammer.

Yes, don't worry about what interest they are charging you. Worry about what benefits they are giving you. If your intention is to ever carry a balance then you shouldn't have one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get a credit card with no fees and pay it off every month.  Doesn't matter who you get it from as interest rates are irrelevant if you read the first sentence.  If you need a limit, you don't need a card, but tell the CC company of your choice and what you want.

  If you are reffering to the first link, that is basically 100% exactly what you asked for. It is a financial website that compaires checking accounts, savings accounts, financial acocunts, and credit cards.   If you are reffering to the second link, pardon me if I thought I would spend a bit of my time typing up a detailed way that anyone on TGO with an iPhone 6 and a Discover Card could get 10% back. Seeing as you are technically proficient, I assumed there is a 50/50 chance you have an iPhone (iPhone vs. Android, etc). If you were eligible for it I really didn't think you'd find better than 10% cashback on some purchases.     It might not get you there but neither will a job. Just like a job, car, gun, etc, a credit card is a tool. If used intelligently credit cards are great. Lets pretend that you are anti-credit card. Lets say you have $3,000 in your checking account. Lets say that someone skims your card number at the atm/gas pump. Lets say that they then withdraw every penny of your money, leaving you with $0 in your checking account. Now, lets pretend that everything goes smoothly and they decide that you weren't liable for this. It could still take weeks before you get your money back. What about bills that are due during that time period?   With a credit card (and trust me, it happened to me because someone stole my Discover Card and purchased an account at Christianmingle.com), if someone steals your card number and makes purchases, you are not liable. Discover contacted me that night telling me something was weird and to call them. I called them, was informed that just an hour ago someone created an account at Christianmingle.com, asking if I did that. I told them no I did not. They canceled the card number and sent me a new one overnight. Sure, I had to swap a few automatic bill pays to the new card number. There is no way jose that it would have been that easy had they stolen a debit card number and actually stolen all of your money in your account.   I'm just a huge proponent of credit cards. I understand that some people cannot use them responsibly. However, if you want to be responible then get a credit card and use it responsibly. There are too many benifits to using a credit card not to have one.

So my wife is at the checkout today there was some lady behind her that was about shoving my wife into her cart because she thought if she was rude and pushy the cashier move faster. The lady would not back off to the point where my wife was wondering what her deal was? Then she tells my wife "you move I go next" my wife reaches into her car and accidently drops the family size bacon on her feet. Talk about taking care of a rude disrespectful person! Then she followed it up with oh my I am almost sorry guess you are still learning about personal space!

I’ve thought about trying to start a collection to have at least 1 live round of every different round made. I’m sure that would be in the hundreds if not over a thousand. Getting some of the rounds not in production anymore could be tough. But has anyone started it; or done it?

Never used it on a gun stock, but I know a thin penetrating epoxy works well to penetrate, bond and seal wood on my boat. Edit: Might be able to inject some wood glue with a glue syringe and clamp it tight while it dries

http://www.pistolgear.com/   Here you go for xd parts. Great company, bought many xd parts from them.

Yes. I've gotten that error too. The URL needs to end with jpg, gif, tiff, or other common photo extension. If you're doing "copy image location" straight out of the image search, try clicking "view image" and then copy the URL.

  Sure, if you can walk in and plunk down the cash for stuff, do it.   Not everyone just starting out can go debt free.   I mean you can if you live in momma's basement for 5 years while you save up.  Think about what a young'un out of college faces... a house, a car, insurance, utilities, student loans, wedding/dating, and tons more expenses all on, generally speaking, introductory level wages.   Its not possible for most folks. 

I still need it explained to me why a Confederate Flag is offensive.

Bingo. Dudes paying $3k for boutique ARs don't want to admit that a $400 PSA kit is functionally identical. Same thing in any hobby... you can find a way to spend thousands of dollars on something if you want, but usually there's an option with same functions for 20% of the cost, just without the panache. I've had a few PTAC kits and all have been 100% for me, both with cheap steal and fancy ammo.

I've been debt-free (except for my home) for most of my adult life, I have a great credit score, and I pay almost everything with a credit card that has NEVER carried a balance or costed me a single penny in fees or interest. If you can use a credit card only for purchases that you were going to make anyway, they can be great. The problem is, many people use them to buy crap they can't afford to be buying in the fist place. I hear people saying that a good credit score isn't important if you have saved at least 20% for a down payment on a home. That's simply not the case. While having a 20% down payment will HELP offset a low credit score, you will still pay a higher interest rate than someone who has the 20% AND a high credit score. A fraction of a percent can make a significant difference throughout the life of a mortgage loan. Every little bit helps. In the end, do whatever works for you. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Stumbled into a few bottles of Weller 12 this evening, an old favorite that I haven't seen on the shelves in a few years. It will be nice to have a bottle back on the bar.

Only an hour? What kind of commitment is that?

Great... been on that site for an hour now. Thanks a lot... jerk! :-P

Man you live a life of simple adventures that become all consuming adventures of interesting preportions and almost on a beer budjet to boot!!!

As you said, everybody's got their own thing, I just don't think the OP's question on CC's to build credit should have been turned into a pissing match about how everyone that uses a credit card or gets a loan is an idiot.

Just picked up a Redfield Revenge 3-9x42 with there 4 plex cross hairs and Leupold mark 2 IMS mount will set it up tonight and take some more pictures

There's not enough Natural Light in the world to make me drunk enough to associate Rosie with women.

12' of space with a jack Russel? One word: valium.

    People think that.  On another very large forum for firearm enthusiasts one member made a bet in general he could not be found based on what information he believed was available to anyone searching for him.   Within 45 minutes he had gotten an email from another member with his name address and phone number.   Don't think the internet is anonymous to someone who knows how to look.  

I'm not too far from your situation 10ring, but I dig credit cards for the perks. I get basically 5% back with Academy's card when I shop there. My Mom hasn't paid for an airline ticket since before I got my driver's license, and has never paid interest. She flies 3-4 round trips per year. There was one month, when my Grandpa was very sick/died that she forgot to pay her CC on time. They waived the interest and late fee for her. It's fine not to take advantage of the benefits available to you, but I don't begrudge anyone smart enough to leverage things in their favor, either. :-)

  Hell, you can hunt bear here with a .25acp derringer if you want. I think that would make things a lot more fair, actually. ;)   - OS

I think this video is one of the best to help you decide on a safe:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltK-bDbADa8

I still have your address, do not buy anything. I got some of the best stuff to use for things like that.

ALWAYS modify the cheapest part, in this case the pin.
