  1. My 18 year old son Ashton saved his friend's life by performing CPR on him and bringing him back to life after he was drowned and under water for several minutes . I love my son and I am just being a proud Daddy . Here he is getting a Life Saver award from the County Mayor .

  3. That's true. I just don't understand the mentality of those dissing Trump because of his commentary on many different issues; telling us how bad he "might" be for the country. But yet we have Hillary, proven to be a liar and a lawbreaker(If you believe the FBI), and people of all interests are raving over her. Even within the gun community. How many times do we need to listen to her comments on the Constitution, not just the 2nd Amendment, to understand what she plans for this country?

  10. I am a reloader. I have never had a KB of any sort from MY ammo. However, I DID have a round of Ultramax .223 splode my very first AR about 9 years ago. Split the upper from front to back, blew the mag out of the gun and blew the bottom out of the mag. Thankfully I was not hurt, but the rifle was toast. The dudes at On Target found my dust cover a few weeks later down at the far end of the range. I'll shoot my reloads, but not someone else's.

  11. What Omega said.... There are lots of non major manufacturer loads that are some of the best out there.... that said, "home reloads?"... where you don't know who did them? I wouldn't touch them with "your" firearm AND a 10 foot pole....

  13. It's about taking away the power of the people. They would rather eliminate the firearms industry all together if they could. Jobs don't matter, that means more people dependent on the government through welfare, food stamps, and whatever other programs there are. They only care about furthering their power not the country or its people.

  16. I use steel all the time in my ARs with zero problems. (Lacquer coated, usually) However, years ago I had SERIOUS problems with the one and only (half)box of steel pistol ammo I ever bought. It was Wolf and the gun was a Sigma. Joke all you want, terrible trigger, but a reliable gun... until Tula. I got through five or six rounds when the gun locked up so tight I had to beat it open by kinda punching/pushing the slide into the edge of a table to get the slide back. The case was STUCK in the chamber. I was fighting to get the extractor over the case rim. I then had to beat the case out with a dowel. I figured it was a fluke, so went back to shooting.... when after a few more rounds it happened again! Same process. I was young and dumb enough to fall for the trick a third time. I finally had enough. I was out in the sticks, and these folks had their trash pile burning. I did what any reasonable person would do and threw the rest in the fire... from pretty far away. It was fun, just some pops. Soon after this event, the extractor on the gun broke and Smith repaired it. I still blame that steel case ammo and the mistreatment I had to put the gun through to get the cases out. Anyways, back to the ammo recommendation from the clerk. I share just because I've personally had a bad experience with steel ammo in the past, and I'm not so quick to dismiss the store clerk. I've been in that position. I doubt she is going to be able to afford a nice dinner out or a new pair of shoes if someone buys a $25 box of ammo versus a $21 box of ammo. I doubt his ammo choice affected her in any meaningful way. She very may well have been sharing a past event that she thought may help the customer.

  17. So the lady at the counter dissuaded you from buying the cheapest ammo they had? Sounds like the upsell worked. i call BS on her story.

  18. Do you know it's a legit IRS deal? Many people especially older ones getting conned by those similar scams. I would want to see the actual forms and verify the numbers to go to a federal building. But if I made it to 88 I would probably tell them to pound sand I might only have a year or so left and doubt they would prosecute me. That's me and I plan on being a ornery old fart.

  20. Well...I don't think many of us are surprised by this admission. I've said for years that I didn't believe such a great source of information would be willingly deleted by our friends in the BATFE and its allies. Now we know for sure that it has happened. And no doubt will continue to be done so.

  21. When I get home I'm taking it to get checked out, then I'll head to the range if everything's good to go and it's ready to be fired. Not gunna jump the gun on this thing incase somethings missing and I blow the rotor because of a missing spring or something stupid like that ($7,000 part and the heart of the gun). Once it's good to go, game on!

  27. My only current .357 is a Marlin Model 1894 Lever Action Carbine, manufactured in 1981 (love it). I plan to add a revolver to go with it, maybe this thread will help me to decide what. I'm thinking double action with 6" barrel in stainless like the Ruger Security 6 but I'm still shopping.

  28. Its a good benefit as it hardens the steel in the bore and makes it last a bit longer. Melonite does the same and arguably better than chrome but it depends on where you read the comparison. Either of the two would be ok for most of our purposes though.

  31. One of the main things of my post is that American workers will lose their jobs. Yes we are a gun forum and club and we love guns but we also love our country and our jobs. If Hilary bans all this stuff she will put good American jobs in danger .

  35. Well, I have never thought road rage was a reason to shoot someone unless they pulled out a weapon to hurt me but then I would never pull over to get involved in a confrontation to begin with. I do find myself getting flipped off a lot these days than I did years ago and I guess that is because I do drive a little slower than I use to. On 2 lane roads I will drive the posted speed but on 4 lane roads I do drive about 10 miles under posted limit but remain in right lane and have vehicles wizzing by me that I know are doing well over the posted speed. Sometimes that is when folks flip the bird at me after they had to follow me until they could get in fast lane and pass. I am never in a hurry to get anywhere I am going anymore so I just take my time and enjoy the drive.
