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 .

Color me surprised. /sarc

Ha, read the title and thought they caught Bill Clinton on top of Nancy Pelosi.

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?

At this point, if an entry for the time/date of my FFL assisted purchases and transfers aren't in a SQL database somewhere, that would be the real surprise.

And yet there are some who are ostensibly on our side (or at least claim to be) who would rather see her win than Trump......

This pussified land is getting insane.

The only way I'm stopping is if the SOB wrecks me. There are waaaay to many people out there that need anger management classes and drugs. Besides...I'm an feeble old man that is in constantly in fear for my life so.....

Good parenting and good training, he took both to heart! You should be proud!

The size of a tennis ball? Dang.. I think I'd have to shoot it... Or try one of those Electronic Fly Swatter Tennis Racket thingies from Harbor Freight...

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.

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....

I'd pass. Just too much unknown.

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.

Ok, I'll play.... Smith and Wesson pre-27s SW 27-2 More 27-2s 1965 Colt Python 1963 Colt Python Colt Lawmen in e-nickel Consecutive Serial Numbered SW 27-2s with presentation box, and all other goodies including original shipping boxes

What the hell is this?

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.

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.

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.

Goooosefraaabaaaa

Shock value there.. Fortunately for me I lost all my firearms in a "boating accident".... but I do enjoy "meeting" people from here (and ARF and Glocktalk and...)...

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.

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!

Thanks for this wonderful prize!

Outstanding young man who stepped up when it counted.

That is a great son you have. He's proved he has what it takes to take action in a time of trouble. Not everyone has that.

Super cool. It's good to hear stories like this given all the bad news we continually see.

Gentlemen, TGO Striders are now being Built! those of you who got in on this one are going to love these!

What's the detail on the story if you don't mind sharing?

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.

Your kid is ... FREAKING AWESOME!

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.

I was going to post a pic or two until I saw gr8smiles collection......then I just put mine away. Those are some awesome pieces!

wow, his friend is going to owe him BIG TIME when he recovers I can only imagine how proud you are...that's awesom

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 .

Bravo Zulu Ashton!

Wow that's awesome!

Hey, that's awesome! You should be proud. Here are prayers for his friend's recovery.

As you should be proud. Congratulations to you (and Ashton)!

Fixed it for you.

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.

The only .357 Mag I own right here... Ruger Security Six.

Fat Hillbilly Lives Matter? I'm game... We need attach a smoker to you trailer though.

And a few more for fun.... SW 686 Colt Python Snubs SW Pre 27 Nickel snubs....two of my rarest pieces Another SW SW 19-3 nickel snub SW 27-2 nickel SW 19-2 snub

You got that big truck......I got a 20 foot trailer........ maybe we need to block some red lights during a Home Game on the main drag....get our message heard!

John Well's set up my trust, too. Good guy, can certainly recommend him.

Stupid laws get ignored. Let them catch me lapping a receiver.
