No offense, but every time you post it becomes an increasingly more ridiculous arrangement that would make Rube Goldberg shake his head in disbelief. I am a fan of Occam's Razor. If you aren't familiar, it is a problem-solving principle that holds that the solution with the least number of components is the correct one. If you apply it to the completely absurd scenario you're painting for everyone, the most simplistic solution is to avoid it completely. Don't think that I am being inhospitable, but you're a complete newcomer and all seven of your posts to date are about a situation that anyone with common sense wouldn't partake in. I can't decide if we're being trolled, fished or if you're just one of those people who seems relatively intelligent but lacking in the aforementioned common sense. No matter what it is, I'm closing this thread. You should probably seek legal counsel before you do any of the crap you've described to us here. From an attorney, not a deputy or a police officer or the Internet.

I had a chance to run about 150 rds through mine yesterday. It performed flawlessly. I added a combination of Vickers Tactical plain black rear sight and orange outline Ameriglo Pro i-Dot front sight before doing so, as I run this combo on several handguns and am very proficient with it. No surprise that it worked great for the M&P also. After shooting the gun a bit, I took some 1000 grit aluminum oxide paper and very lightly knocked down the sharpness on some of the stippling on the palm-swell insert where it meets the web of my thumb. Not much. Just the sharpest peaks. This made a world of difference in the comfort of shooting it. I'm carrying it IWB right now in the same TT Gunleather holster that I used to carry my M&P 40 in. Feels a bit like an old friend.

Got out of stamp purgatory and topped off the MP5. It's complete with nothing else to add.... Finally

Run away... with no training, or standing as profesional security being ASKED to protect others WILL be a legal nightmare if something goes down. Run away....

If you get a mod 2, you will be excommunicated from the forum, unless you sand off or stipple the "Grip Zone" off the handle.

I gotcha! Pics and a review will be coming along shortly.

I picked one up Friday and shot it this morning. This handgun feels great in my hands and shoots great. I am very happy with my purchased.

I have a CWP and there is no way you could drag me to that event. The reason for the event or anything else has not been made clear as I can read and just knowing that a bunch of Strangers, possibly dope smokers and Meth heads would be enough for me to put the brakes on and run not walk away from that invitation..........jmho

Ok... so you annealed or tempered it a bit at 500 deg. Keep in mind that thermocouples do degrade over time and no two are the same. Yes, 2000F should be plenty hot for most things. Just be very careful and plan accordingly. You will drop a piece of 1500 deg steel at just the wrong moment, be prepared for the consequences. And yes, large differences in section thickness have the potential to cause warpage during quench. You'll need a good infrared pyrometer to measure the post quench temp of the part. Some steels are very sensitive to how far you quench them down and then get them into the annealing oven quickly. 4140 is common enough that you should be able to find phase diagrams and age tempering curves. I have access to the ASM databases through work, so holler if you have questions.

Bahahahhaaaa!!! Now I've got coffee to clean off my screen, thanks for that! - K

As if it matters in these parts. You're way outnumbered And, it's the War of Northern Aggression.

I try to avoid being probed.

I got an email back from Senator Ketron with the opinion of his legal department...

Back in 1966, during the height of the cold war, we were going through the Straits of Gibraltar and the lookouts picked up a periscope off our starboard side. Shortly thereafter, a Russian surface ship pulled up close and escorted us into Naples. Later that night we ran into part of their crew in the Cactus Bar (Don’t even ask, how I remember the name of the bar, that’s another story). We were on opposite sides of the room and having a good time, then someone suggested we buy them some drinks. Needless to say, they were surprised, and even more so when we motioned them over to our table. We pushed several table together until we had room for everyone (there must have been 10-12 of them and about the same number of us). I don’t know if they could understand us and I know we had no idea what they were saying but we were having a hell of a good time. I can remember one of them pointing at our Dolphins and making a motion of going under water. When we confirmed it, he shook his head and made a negative motion with his hand, then a circular motion around his ear like we were crazy. He got a round of applause for that . Later on, they seemed to be embarrassed about not being able to buy rounds of drinks but we assured them, it was no problem and footed the bill ourselves. All was going well until the Shore Patrol showed up. It seems that the fact that we were partying with the “enemy” got back to the boat and we were ordered to return to the boat immediately. The Shore Patrol got a little tiffed because before we left, we paid for another round of drinks for our new buddies. I don’t know what they went through, but we were grilled about what was discussed at the bar. The only thing we were able tell them was the Russians didn’t have as much money as us, could drink like a fish, and liked the ladies with a little meat on their bones.

Heck...I've been hanging around here for close to 8 years and I still feel like a newcomer. Way too many guys that outrank me in knowledge to worry about titles and points. I just try to enjoy this place and not say something to get booted. And believe me...at times I've had to erase my comments and start over.

We don't have "concealed carry", we have handgun carry. Says so right there on the permit.

I think this can be a fun and informative thread thread if we keep it going. Basically, post a pic of what you cooked/prepared for yourself or your family...either a meal or a snack so good you have to share. That way, if someone likes what they see, they can ask for the recipe, or preparation tips. I'll kick things off with what I made for supper tonight: Grilled steak (charcoal, not gas)- marinated with Italian dressing for 8 hours, cooked somewhere between medium/medium well Honey gold potatoes- half cooked in a boiling pot, then sauteed to finish with olive oil, pressed garlic, butter, and cracked pepper Romaine salad with Mexican cheese blend Small/med amount of Italian dressing drizzled over everything

USPSA match at our range in Dickson this Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th. You do not have to be a USPSA or MCTS member to attend. Haven't picked a classifier yet. I'll pick a good one.

Cerakote it black and it's a tactical brick. Worth 10x the price.

Any reason why you prefer .40SW?

IANAL, but under TN state law, unless it's YOUR home and curtilage, it's still illegal to carry a firearm, concealed or openly. The chances you'll get arrested are slim and none, but if something goes wrong why risk the extra charge being added on? Curtilage generally means the house, porch, fenced in yard, and any outbuildings meant for human use.

What the hell Chris? Are you trying to get me divorced?

I know of two. The AMT Automag III and the Ruger Blackhawk. The Ruger new model Blackhawk is still being offered by Ruger.

or lying on the form.

Nothing more addictive than drugs to .Gov except for new sources of tax revenues. Besides, what's wrong with a little reefer?

The Feds have never put their stamp of approval on marijuana use. They could stop states like Colorado and Washington tomorrow. Sessions wants to enforce those laws; it appears to be unclear where Trump stands. (Although I’m sure he will make clear where he stands soon.) http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/23/politics/white-house-marijuana-donald-trump-pot/

I for one would not gamble on pot and guns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but add a gun to a marijuana charge and go from misdemeanor to felony. "Tell it to the judge, and sir, watch your head as you enter the patrol car."

.

And yet to keep the water muddy, TN permits 18-20 yo to obtain a HCP and thus carry in their POV.

Interesting. It was de-criminalized in NY when I lived there, and legally and socially treated quite a bit different than it is down here, that's for sure. - K

Unfortunately, the movie thoroughly sucked (IMHO) Some books should just be left alone

And swatting at the bats?

That really too bad because of late the only good thing about Colt in general was the Colt Custom Shop and the quality of work they produced.

Good lord. The whole thing sounds dicey to moi. Good luck there, Mr. Not Providing Security But Making Sure You're Armed So You Can Draw Down On Drunks and Meth Heads! - OS

When I had my Delta Elite at the Custom Shop a few years back, Brent called and asked me if it would be OK if they added the live-round cutout to my ejection port work. He had found that it really helped when doing the "unload and show clear" drill. I told him, "Sure..., just add it to the total." Brent replied, "No charge - - - Just figured it was something you would want since it would go well with all of the other mods you are doing to the gun." Not only was he great with Customer Service, Brent was a true ambassador for the Colt name.

I must be slipping in my old age. It took me entirely to long to get that. Well done sir.

First off, good for you for coming to your senses and moving to TN. I'm a bit out west of Nashville (don't like the traffic or the taxes). Here's the advice everyone gets: 1) don't live in Davidson county, taxes are literally double what they are in surrounding counties 2) North of Nashville is booming/getting crowded 3) South of Nashville is where all the money is Brentwood/Franklin - so you will pay more to live there. 4) Southeast to East is turning into little Tijuana 5) East to Northeast is an alright place to live 6) West is still pretty awesome for the time being, but people are starting to slowly creep out this way, it's the most rural part of the region that you can drive into Nashville daily and not have to travel an hour 7) Stay the F*** away from Memphis, that is the TN version of Mogadishu, we tried to give the city to Alabama, but they wouldn't even take it 8) If you're coming from a liberal state, stop by one of the decontamination stations at the state line and wash that crap off 9) Williamson county (where I'm at) supposedly has the best school systems in the state, and one of the better ones in the country. No clue though, I just pay taxes for other people's kids to go there 10) We like to shoot a lot down here, if you need assistance with creative ways to hide money from the spouse to stockpile an arsenal, just ask - the forum is filled with experts 11) Anything you need help with, no matter what it is, can be fixed with a TGO meeting if you supply the booze and BBQ

The easiest way to free float a barrel!

More importantly (IMO) he was the honcho of customer service. Now, that's got a lot of people really pissed as it sounds like he did a top-notch job.

When I was a kid, I remember pretty much everyone knowing whether they were black or white, an without fail, they all knew their gender as well. I'm starting to believe the movie "Idiocracy" is more a documentary than entertainment.

I'm intrigued by how important this feature seems to be.

There's plenty of that in Chapter 2 as well.

The Irish Daughter . . . . The Irish daughter had not been to the house for over 5 years. Upon her return, her father cussed her; "Where have you been all this time, you ingrate! Why didn't you write us, not even a line to let us know how you were doing? Why didn't you call? You little tramp! Don't you know what you put your Mum through??!!" The girl, crying, replied, Sniff, sniff . . . "Dad . . . I became a prostitute . . ." "WHAT!!? Out of here, you shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this family - I don't ever want to see you again!" "OK, Dad - as you wish. I just came back to give Mom this luxury fur coat, title deeds to a ten bed-roomed mansion, plus a savings account certificate for £5 million. For my little brother, this gold Rolex, and for you Daddy the spanking new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a lifetime membership to the Country Club . . . (takes a breath) . . . an invitation for you all to spend New Years' Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera, and . . . ." Her father interrupted, "Now what was it you said you had become?" Girl, crying again, Sniff, sniff . . . "A prostitute Dad!." Sniff, sniff . . . . "Oh! Be Jesus! - you scared me half to death girl! I thought you said "a Protestant". Come here and give your old man a big hug!"

Why anyone would want to open carry in this state with these type of stupid laws is beyond me. All it takes is to be open carrying at say a fast food restaurant and a 'concerned' mother with a school group calls the police on the person open carrying. To me unless you are out in the woods, you at risk for problems when other people in public can see your firearm. Open carry and concealed carry without a permit would be nice, but we've got to fix these type of legal traps so that good people don't get messed up when they are carrying. It would be nice if our NRA endorsed republican legislators and republican governor would be willing to make life a little easier for good people by removing these legal traps.

You don't have to cross the river. Even thougt Arkansas is Gods country, there's plenty beach on the Tennessee side. Come at the right time and catch Memphis in May. We got blues/we got jazz. BTW-Arkansas is the only state mentioned in the Bible. This goes to show ya East Tennessee has no clue about West Tennessee. Their still pissed caused the U of Memphis beat the beloved u of tn in football not long ago. Very sore losers. Very sore.

Um, well, garsh, thx. Note that about half of what I note about them are the gray areas though, so don't take anything from me as legally authoritative in any way, eh? And if I were writing them, there'd be few if any of them there gray areas. - OS

When in Doubt about Tennessee firearm laws just ask Oh Shoot. Sometimes I think he is the guy writing the dang things as much as he knows. Oh Shoot I would like to think you for all that you do for our group.
