Every young American should have to watch this.

great news guys! one of my daughters coworkers picked this girl up an hour ago! new permanent home w 2 girls!!! thanks for the responses and kudos!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, its either this or smoke signals!

A few pics of me doing the hearts and minds thing in 2002 and 2003 when I still had hair and clocked in at a reasonable weight.

Both are made from 1095 and 15N20 steels so yes they will rust but a good wipe down with a coat of oil should prevent that. Both are 3/16" stock. First has Suriname Ironwood scales with mosaic pins. It has a blade length of about 6 3/8" with an OAL of 11 5/8". It has a subtle yet beautiful twist pattern, thumb jimping and nice filework on the spine and a lanyard hole. Next has a blade length of about 6 3/8" and an OAL of 11". It has thumb jimping and file work on the spine with SS pins and Wenge scales. It also has a lanyard hole. The Damascus is bold with this twist pattern.

I am leaning toward a Biltwell HB seat, I like the looks and it seems I can sit where I want without being 'forced' into a position. Here she is this morning after she got here.

Yes. I have many different applications for handguns, so I have many different handguns.

First CZ product I own, I've shot a couple and fell in love. After playing with this at the NRA Show this year, I fell in love with it. It was either this or the Bren 805. I could afford this one. Got it Friday and already dropped a new trigger and shockwave kit on it. Love this thing so far!

For those of you that are Amazon Prime members, July 12th is Prime Day. It's like Amazon's Black Friday sales in July. I picked up several good deals last year. The only bad thing, as I recall, is the deals come all day long, so you kind of have to be near a computer all day long.

You found several good deals last year? Seriously? I'm a HUGE Amazon fan but Prime day was a joke. They got major criticism last year. https://www.buzzfeed.com/kanikateng/the-26-best-responses-to-amazon-prime-day-9wy1?utm_term=.ecJgVolBaE#.kvE4G82JoD ETA: I don't mean to sound like an ass, I'm just genuinely surprised to hear you found some good deals. You're literally the first person I've ever met who had a positive experience. I was very excited for it last year but couldn't believe how disappointing it was.

My 3 ton Harbor Freight jack has lasted through something like 15 yrs of oil changes, brake jobs, starters, ... The trick to making them last is only use them for lifting, jack stands are for holding. I'd guess most any modestly priced jack will be made overseas.

best advice for gear I ever got was, spend as much money on gear as you think that body part is worth.

I am guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No where is it written that my attacker's right s trump my basic three rights.

If someone is about to assault me and possibly kill or harm me or a loved one I will at that point become Judge, Jury and executioner and do everything in my power to protect me and mine from harm..............jmho

Received my trigger today for what I think is my complete build list (minus scope). This will be my first and probably only AR10 so I hope it turns out as good as I think it should. More to come!

Some companies in the firearms industry will never cease to amaze me. I called RCBS this morning to inquire on a problem with my Rock Chucker and they are sending all the parts to rebuild it at no charge. I have had this press for 20 plus years. Sure would be nice if other industries would adopt this level of customer service.

I know I am late to the party, but I am a bourbon newbie. I bought a bottle of Larceny on the recommendation of this thread, and I must admit it is nice and smooth.

Walter P22, like nightrunner's experience, only hot rounds would properly cycle. Wife's training pistol, so not really pertinent . I will typically run 200 round of sd ammo and an equivalent or more of fmj before I carry a new piece.

I am on my second Torin Black Jack from Walmart. The first one lasted over a decade of semi-frequent use. I bought my new one about a year ago. I think it was $20?

I bought an Arcan XL 35 from Northern Tool because I needed over 20" of jacking height. I haven't had it long enough to speak for longevity but it works great. http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200345429_200345429?hotline=false

The one you have may just need some hydraulic fluid or you can replace the hydraulic cylinder. If your plan on buying a new one I would recommend a low profile Duralast 2 1/2 Ton aluminum steel garage jack from Autozone.....You can order from their website and get 20% off

And I'll add.... Find a good mentor. Worry more about the skills your riding buddies have than how cool they look. Take the rear brake lever off the bike and ride it for a few weeks. Practice threshold braking... Start at about 50 mph and squeeeeeze the front brake lever until the tire starts to howl. Feel the forks load up. Hold it there and downshift until you're nearly stopped. Accelerate and repeat until you can do it smoothly and quickly. The point is to not develop the habit of stomping on the rear brake. Nothing will get you into trouble faster.

It's got the HBI trigger springs, shoe, and I have the gear head works ambi-selector when it gets here tomorrow. I did polish the disconnector and mating surfaces. It's smooth. I will get one of the HBI charging handles. The OEM one does nothing for me. Not going to Form 1 it. Don't like the restrictions that places on me. I would like to take this anywhere without permission.

Just the bark.

I figure that shooting a attacker is as fair a trial as they should get!

BigK, hit the nail on the head for me. I enjoy group rides with people I know. I ride off to Texas every year to meet up with some good folks to ride the Texas Hill Country. Another group I have been riding with meets up every June and I enjoy riding with them also. However I am very cautious about riding with people that I have no idea of their riding skill sets. I also make a lot of miles each day and that doesn't sit well with many folks which also prompts me to ride alone. As such I spend most of my saddle time alone and enjoy the heck out of it. My wife rides some as well, but alas parenthood has taken its toll. Our 9 y/o son gets our attention and our time. Sadly the bikes sit idle on the trickle charger for way too long.

I have a Doyle thornless BlackBerry that I put in terrible dirt a couple of years ago. It refuses to die but hasn't fruited yet. I bought a second one at the same time for a friend who knows how to grow stuff and it has produced gallons of good tasting berries. Not sure if there are cheaper options but they seem to produce well with a little TLC Mark

I rarely post here, but felt like throwing in my 2 cents. Find a class and take the course. Its worth it. I've ridden for a long time, (42 years lol), and the biggest dangers in my opinion are texting/distracted drivers. Situational awareness! Enjoy the ride but keep your head on a swivel. I've had more close calls in the last five years than all the previous years combined and I chalk it up to cell phones. Congrats on the bike! I've got a sportster 1200s with a few mods.

Thanks BigK for letting me shoot your carbine today! You got the TRS dialed in nicely. And I like the rubber plugs you got in the rail. Those provided for a positive grip while not being too pronounced. Of course the best feature was the stock. (I guess I'll get my Form 1 for Christmas. ) It was a pleasure meeting and shooting with you. Also thank you for the other toys you brought. The trigger on the Shadow is amazing. Talk about surprise-break. You just gotta think about squeezing the trigger and it goes off. One of these days we should have an official TGO CZ fanclub meet-up.

The matching tie is made in Columbia.

Wow. People do develop dumb habits. This tops the list. Reminds me of this though. My Wife performs modern ballet. We were at the Princess Theatre in South Pittsburg, TN. I was upstairs shooting photos and there was one other husband with me. Halfway through one of the shows at night two officers come in upstairs, it's just the four of us total. Well, they stay about five minutes and then leave. The other Husband gives me the biggest "what just happened face". He tells me later that since it was dark in the theatre the male cop pulls his gun out of his holster and uses his flashlight on the gun for navigation. Couldn't believe it.

Well, it took me a week to find what I wanted, but she's home now

I paid $500 for a hooker once.

I've had my Glock 23 for about 18 years. Not even 1 hiccup the entire time I've had it. It still goes with me everywhere. I don't really have a firm position on the .40 vs 9mm debate, but I'm much more inclined to buy something with 9mm in mind rather than the .40. I have very limited experience with 10mm. I'm just not a big enough fan of any handgun caliber to make any argument interesting. On the other hand, ask me about something like 5.56 vs 6.8SPC and things will go south really, really quick.

I'm just dying to know his thoughts on Glocks, .40cal, and 10mm...

$200 jeans wouldn't make as much sense to those of us carrying and/or married. $200 jeans fit in a manner that tends to be eye candy for the ladies and help the single guys get certain attention. I wish my big ass would fit into mine.... Lincoln's been smacked around enough. He's new and your going to run him off. There isn't one among us that hasn't had bad days where we said and did similar things - cut him a little slack.

Academy is being racist by keeping the black rifles around, but out of sight.

Looks like I'm gonna buy me a DD rifle tomorrow:)

I'm going to buy me some DD stuff. I like their spirit.

It's nice to see a business stand on principle.
