As of today, I have not used smokeless tobacco for four weeks. I had used it almost half of my 41 years on this earth, but decided it was time to quit. It has not been easy, but it has not been as difficult as I feared. I am over the physical nicotine withdrawal for a couple of weeks now, but the situational habit of having a dip in when shooting or going to gun stores or just driving is still very strong at times. I thank God, and my wife for encouraging, not nagging, me in this. If this is something you need to do, do it.

Lovely...

If the gun makers were smart all the ones in crap states would move here.....just sayin'.

I got a bazillion PMAGS. Besides, STUPID LAWS GET IGNORED (My new motto). I will find mags, even if they ban them.

Don't listen to Mike, he hunts wabbit with a Socom so there is no cleaning to do.

Smokeless tobacco is a nasty addiction and I've seen friends just about lose themselves when they finally decide to quite the stuff. Good for you for deciding enough was enough and going cold turkey. Not everyone can find the determination to do what you've done so give yourself a pat on the back, you earned it.

I have been threatening to gve up my Marlboro's for about 6 months but has not worked yet. I'm 68 years old and been smoking 58 years. Doctor actually told me quiting at my age with my health and smoking that long might just kill me. I looked at her and laughed and told her that was exactly what I have been thinking......................

I think you missed the tongue in cheek. They were $30 after Sandy Hook, when our rights were really in danger. Hillary is a huge threat. I don't think she will be all it takes. But, pile on a real juicy mass killing, and we could see it again. But, it's not time yet

Mighty bold of them to claim they've been making firearms since 1794

Got a regular 92 marked Gallatin for $599...

It is getting to be that time of the year. Last November I was heading west on I-40 and there around Cuba Landing just east of the TN river some ole boy was pulled off in the median cutting the backstrap out of a fresh one.

Ever shot a rabbit with a 223? You gonna lick it off a tree when you're done? I stockpile 5.56, but do try to keep some 22 around, mainly cause I have 5 guns chambered in it.

I've had elk in a Nashville restaurant. Don't know that deer is any stranger than that

Great. I've been quit since 92

Congrats. Its a horrible thing to beat. Wellbutrin will set you free of this beast. Been tobacco free for over 10 years myself after being hooked for 20+ years of my 1st 35.

I panic bought a box of Winchester 333 22LR today at a local wally world for $17 I don't know where I'm gonna put them though.....My 22lr shelf is full.

I sold my ar10 pmags for $70 each. A bunch of them <edit> ... forgot to say, I bought them all back for $15 a while later

Well, Spanky ain't but about 3 feet tall. - OS

Congrats. Tobacco is a tough adversary.

Tobacco is a tough one. Congrats. I quit it, but it took over 40 years.

Mikegideon gets me. It was sarcasm trying to acknowledge the LGS attempting to hype up sales. I think it is a definite possibility of a run on guns/ammo/mags but only time will tell.

Old habits are hard to break. Congratulations.

For you, I would do 25$ each on the pmags.

They'll sell shortly.

Good on ya!

Mk... my guess is some warmed over AR variant. Maybe made in Serbia this time. I bet the market will be ripe for an overpriced logo'd out Springfield tactical rifle on 11/9/16.

XD of course. - OS

Well, c'mon then!

They're infected with Hi-liar-y disease, perhaps?

Bight your tongue, that B will not blot a spot on my TV let alone go see anything with her in it. There is a difference between being anti-gun or anti-war and actively working against them. As soon as she set foot in VN territory she was dead to me, and her "get over it" attitude hasn't helped her any. If enough people stop going to see certain actor's movies, the studios stop making movies with them in it. The rest of the trickle down people still get paid off of other movies, popcorn and such. I personally have stopped going to many movies, not so much because of the actors but because of hollywood's insistence of forcing social issues. I can't remember a recent movie, or cartoon for that matter, where one of the characters wasn't gay, transgender, or in an interracial relationship. I know these things exist in society, but don't need it shoved into every movie. I don't care when it adds something to the storyline, but when its just a gratuitous placement it just takes away from the movie as a whole to me. Oh, yea..forgot to add. just being fat is not funny. I don't know what it is about Hollywood, but they seem to think just being fat is a formula for a good comedy. Personally I can't stand movies or shows with Melissa McCarthy, while she throws a good line now and then, she just doesn't do it for me as an actress. And before anyone says it, I myself am overweight so its not a dislike for fat people, but some such as Kevin James have overplayed their roles.

Last year, I foolishly let a Chinese MAK-90 in Sporter configuration pass me by at the gun show. I patiently waited well over a year for an opportunity to present itself and I found that opporunity last night on this very forum. A special thank you to johnnychimpo for answering my questions in a timely manner and for meeting me on such a short notice. I am overjoyed with the purchase of my rifle, but I am even happier to have met a local enthusiast.

Lots of fun and lots of rounds fired tonight! Good times as always! Results below, the first two brackets are the individual results of the double elimination, the last bracket is the team race. Itchytriggerfinger was on fire while wkd and Doug took the team win

Thanks man and I'm good to go now. Appreciate it!

As always, thanks for your ongoing efforts keeping the lights on, especially at full wattage. - OS

You mean like, the very first episode, 6 years ago? - OS

Good work! The site is awesome.

Yes, the site is slamming fast now. Thanks David.

Repeat of the above thanks, I know it takes a lot of work. The site is MUCH FASTER.

Seems they're throwing anything they can whip together at the wall to see what sticks. I can't imagine venison being a fast food item of consistent quality.

The new minority. Can't even get an EBT card

Remington Rolling Block! Forgot about that one. Many were made in 7mm Mauser. Some were made in 8mm Lebel. Very strong action.

Atlanta cutlery have a TON of old Nepalese Martini Henrys in .450-577 Some are junk decorations, many are restoreable with a lot of work, lots are restoreable with a bit of work, a few are fully functional. Obviously price depends on condition, but they run the gamut from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand. A fair example will cost a bit more up front, but if you don't mind getting dirty, you can build a really nice rifle by using one as a base & sourcing parts. There are even online tutorials of forming your own brass.

Let me take a look, I may have one. You talking about this one right? Not sure of it's condition atm but if it still works you can have it for shipping cost, I just upgraded to the bench mounted Lee version. Worse case it may have the part that's worn on yours.

The only actors that aren't "anti" can barely find work. Y'all just might as well say you're never going to watch another new movie or tv show.

Jp, it will be addictive. I too started on a rockchucker and after getting the sdb I literally couldn't walk past it without loading 15-20 rounds and chuckling to myself at all the ammo I had made in such a short short time. Enjoy it and you will want to kick yourself for not getting one 14 years ago!! LOL

"QUOTE" Sure it’s possible but with the recent SCOTUS rulings, unlikely. It's unlikely at present time but if Hildebeast gets elected and begins appointing Supreme Court Justices how much longer will the original decisions hold up might be a question to think about..........................jmho

Pic didn't upload from tapatalk, but here she is!! Sweet!!
