I'm about to sign a bunch of y'all up for Facebook...

Don't go to AR15.com for ANY advice of ANY kind about your rifle.

Perhaps I should mention my silencers, stockpiles of ammunition and my strong dislike of people who ask too many questions.

I remember the word's of my wife's doctor, "When you have a boy you only have to worry about one penis.  When you have a girl you have to worry about all of them."

The bail was $62,000, but the highest Rick Harrison was willing to go was $250.   :D

WWF fired its leaders after somebody dropped a dime on their spending habits. Apparently they were spending 40% of income on overhead. It will be good if that money can go where it was intended, rather than being used for expensive "conferences" at resorts.

They actually have some of the lowest rates as far as what goes to those they are supposed to help. It started life with good intentions and then making money became their goal. I know it is a non profit but that just means their bank account is zero at the end of the year. Like a lot of non profits excess goes into paying salaries rather than into those they are helping.   I do not support the WWP and will not. Plenty of other veteran organizations that actually give more.   Look at all their legal fees from suing other organizations that are helping our veterans. You mention you help the wounded and they come after you. You have a black and white image of a soldier and they come after you. WWP has sued quite a few and I haven't really looked into it but I wonder home many of those they have sued had to close their doors over mounting legal fees.

And we are full for this match. Looking forward to a great group and a lot of fun on the 24th. I'll send out squad emails closer to time. We will take wait list registration in case any drops, so get on if you want to shoot at an outstanding new facility. This is the first of many matches to come, so be on the lookout for posts.

The purpose of the cool looking tail fins is to slow the bomb so that it won't impact the jet when it explodes. (Note: I'm hoping that is an Air Force jet) Army. 'Nuff Said

Yes, it's full auto. :) Figured it might as well get its own case, too.

Congrats. Don't believe for a moment this will be your only AR. They don't call it the black rifle disease for nothing. :) Dont believe that crap that AR's can be run "dry". Lube the appropriate areas as shown in the manual. You can never have too much ammo or Pmags. Configure the rifle like you intend to use it otherwise you'll end up installing a bunch of stuff you don't need and just make the rifle heavier. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I blame Martin for this.

  That's the thing.   I've considered starting a thread titled, "I don't trust Facebook, so I'd like to turn TGO into one" and move a bunch of threads in there...   We've got joke threads.  We've got animal pictures to no end.  Here's funny stuff kids say.  A couple of recipe videos and we're there.

Because intimidation is more effective! My two daughters are just a few years from being teens and you can bet I'm going to be the dad every boy fears. Sent from the Fortress of Solitude.

Don't worry. It's got brothers and sisters.

Went to Vegas some years back and same thing. Big ole sign on the side of the building touting them as the best, open 24 hours 7 days a week yada yada. Right underneath was a sign saying closed for filming. The shows popularity is stupifying, but not as much so as the amount of people who believe there is any reality to reaity TV.

This actually isn't how I planned on doing this, but I misread the instructions for doing it the way I did want and ended up with this. However, the more I look at it, the less disappointed I am with how it turned out. The green on this is actually closer to Magpul foliage, but my iPhone makes it look a bit blue.

boo.

That's actually the first requirement to begin class lol. It'll happen again. Probably in the next couple of months. I will make sure to send you a PM for the next one Sent from behind the anvil

Ya'll suck!!!!!!!   You just want to tell some tidbits and leave everyone hanging. We got 2 different stories going on here, and NO closure on either one...... The thousands in attendance, and the millions and millions watching at home want to know the answers.

I'll do it for some pie!

Awesome! #foundersintent

Not much different than middle TN deer! I think they are almost domesticated around Sumner county. I honk at them and they'll just look up as if to say hey I'm busy eating here! Sent from the Fortress of Solitude.

Controlling and over protective are two different things. I'll also say this... Unless you have kids you can't understand any of this. Your entire mindset changes once you have children. Sent from the Fortress of Solitude.

Mike @ Law Enforcement Sales is a great guy. Without a doubt the only guy I would use to transfer anything. And if anyone will give an honest assessment it is Mike.

    The VW software people programmed the car to recognize the presence of an engine analyzer.  When the analyzer is installed, the computer uses different fuel/ignition map and engages the emissions systems.  When the analyzer is removed, the computer defaults back to a different map which uses less fuel, disengages emissions systems, and results in higher NOx and SOx emissions than are allowed by the regs.  They cheated and got caught.    Does that really mean anything to the end consumer?  Only if you live in a place that requires emissions testing.   

I said it as soon as I heard about it, there is a reason why real AKs do not have cast trunions.

Yeah, they didn't have my flavor. I did manage a box of my favorite .300 BLK hog round and a new St. Croix rod, though. I've got to stop going in there.

I sure hope this thing works. There are a gazillion things that have to happen perfectly any one of which will turn it into space junk. I also hope I live to see the pictures it takes.   http://www.universetoday.com/127121/all-primary-mirrors-fully-installed-on-nasas-james-webb-space-telescope/

I figured this guy John L. Casey who discovered this 206 year solar cycle was not BS-ing us when he said one of the first things you need to do is have at least a one year supply of food and be prepared to defend it with a firearm. Now THATS a Scientist we can trust!

I had 2 daughters and I can tell you, it can get ugly. They are grown and on their own now, but those teen years will make you old before your time.

I grew up hunting and fishing and my dad taught me to respect nature and obey the rules. These 2 punks have no respect for either and I feel their punishment was no where close to adequate for what they did. Banning them from hunting for life is no punishment, they've already shown they'll kill 40 deer when they want without regard to the law. A measly $5000 fine each isn't enough either. </rant>

:bow: :dirty: :drool:

Out here it's people on ATV's or 4 wheelers. What we usually do is get the neighbors to help us "stop" them where we're all armed, our neighbor then politely points out the trespassing issue, documents their vehicles and says let's not meet again. It works really well. ;-) and I don't have to waste ammo!

The only way to cure this is for the common people to pay penalties so the brainiacs can use their new found riches to make more senseless policy to fix the problem of too many rainbow unicorns, it's the only thing that makes sense. Thank you Albert Gore

Fair skinned people unite!

Every one will enjoy their fuel mileage more if they would remove the Ethanol from the fuel. It has been proven that 100% pure gas improved fuel mileage by 15 to 25%  depending on the vehicle. That is why you have to stop and purchase fuel more often with Ethanol fuel......... :mad:

A person could wrap a HiPoint in ACTUAL $100 bills and it STILL wouldn't be worth $200. :/

Gordon, I have in no way had the terrible problems and experiences you have, and wouldn't dare compare myself to you or them.   I will say that after the last couple of years of recovery from my issues, I do have a better outlook on most things. I try not to be quite so troubled by little things, even money troubles. It has been a long time coming though.   I was sitting on my back porch yesterday after putting some shelves together in bare spot in my "supposed gun room." I saw the green coming back, the wind in the trees, and was listening to the flowing water in the spring. I had so much peace at that time, I couldn't help but reflect on the change in myself over these last years.   I think I have changed for the better, I really didn't like myself that much, and still don't. I have a lot of failings to overcome yet. But still trying   Within the scope of my abilities, worldly, fiscally, and physically; I'm trying for the outlook similar to what you describe.   Coming troubles will come...regardless of fretting and worry. Just try to be prepared and face them as we can.

I, too, have done my fair share of worrying, even for many years after I became a Christian.  But slowly and surely, I've learned to replace that kind of thinking with the reality of knowing Jesus Christ.   Once I was driving down a highway and a car began to pull out in front of me--about a quarter mile down the road.  Suddenly, this thought flashed into my mind, "Aren't you going to jam on your brakes?"   Somewhat puzzled, I answered, "Of course not.  By the time I get there, the car will either be gone or up to speed."   The "voice" replied immediately.  "Then why let worry cloud your life when the things you fear may never happen?"   I'm thankful that the Lord has never quit preaching that sermon while I eventually grasped that it's best to just to take Him at his Word and "cast all of your care upon Him, because He cares for you."

I change often, I must be the weird one.  Sometimes I like the various Glocks, others the various Sigs, and then there is the 1911 and the Beretta.  I believe my team of rotation has feelings, and if they don't get love, then they may not function when needed. 

I've had a lot of opportunities given to me. Blacksmithing, martial arts and others. I try to pay that forward any way I can. I firmly believe knowledge should be available to anyone who is willing to seek it. Sent from behind the anvil

  Whether I can make it or not, thank you for doing this.  Very generous (your time, effort, and knowledge).

It is a 9 twist SS 16" barrel that is not chrome lined. All loads are 2.23" OAL in order to feed from the magazines. The brass was match prepped and used Wolf SRM primers. There was no crimp, only neck tension holding the bullet. The brass was R-P with several loadings on them. I ran loads from 27.1 to 28.3 with 53 SMK. 28.3 grains seemed like a sweet spot with the 53 SMK. 27.7 did equally as well. For the 69 SMK I loaded from 24.5-24.9 grains. They did fine and shot comparable to my Varget loads with the same charge weights. Although it may not shoot the 69 better than Varget it is doing it cheaper. I have loaded using H335 and the SMP 842 is more accurate. Tula runs around 4"-5" at 100 yards. With factory Remington green box it was shooting 2" at 100 yards. With Blackhills it was around an inch. I have never really did any shooting using surplus US ammo. And all of this was done with a bore that has had little more than a bore snake ran through it in years. I did clean the bolt in order to see how clean the powder was. And as always my data was safe in my gun. I cannot guarantee it will be in yours. Make sure you follow published data and work up accordingly to keep yourself safe. Do no rely on my load data, do your own research. Dolomite
