This crap almost seems orchestrated to me. Murder is already against the law. Making my guns illegal will save no one, as my guns have so far obeyed current law.

it's just getting predictable. I hate to sound like Alex Jones but it sure does look like something is going on. The media pushes what fits their agenda, they don't report the news anymore. Multiple shootings involving young black males in Texas and Alabama killing 7 at one event and not sure of the other, not a word at all. First thing reported on this guy in Texas is White Male shooter........

My wife has been saying the same thing for a while now.

Too many "coincidences", I'm not much on "coincidences."

I do this as a hobby...not a you tuber. I don't say this in a derogatory manner but recording takes equipment and time. I have little to none of both. I try to sell my knives at the best possible price and since I've never been big on taping/recording, photography anyway if I bought decent stuff the knife customer would pay for it. I'm trying to keep costs to a minimum and pass the savings on.

I had a dang nice buck show up on camera this week. I hunted a big 12 for 2 years straight on this property. This one is at least a 12 and much bigger. Just watch, you'll see him.

To give you an idea of the cost of this just the Sambar Stag for the handles cost $160 before shipping. The custom leather/Caiman sheath was made by one of our own on the forum....1911alltheway.

On a brighter note... Ya know, we always look for the heroes that put their lives on the line in these situations; the cops and sometimes civilians that face these killers down. . But those cops train for that all the time and are expected to handle it. We tend to forget some of the other hero’s; the medical professionals. From the First Responders to the ER Nurses to the Surgeons and everyone else. Once the shooting stops or the shooter moves on, and sometimes before, the lives of the victims depend on the abilities of these folks. I was impressed with the fact that the hospitals involved had also practiced and had procedures in place for that situation. They locked the facilities down, called people in, moved less critical patients, and made all the other arrangements for the incoming wounded. Also the emotional toll it takes. I have had nurses in the ER hug me and cry because they had to try to save the life (and did) of the animal that had just shot two of my friends. What I saw was as hard on them as it was on me. No matter how hard they tried; people died in this shooting, that is tough on them also. Thank God for these professionals.

What!?! Na, no way. Disregard new Comey info, Pedo ring, Hong kong, focus on shootings. All they have to do is get people to focus on what they want.

Rush Limbaugh says there are no coincidences.

Which is obnoxious. I’m in IL quite a bit and it’s a state that I would totally get an OOS permit for if I had the opportunity.

What gun did he use???? How did he get it??? Where did the ammo come from???? Man it gets old…..

I almost wonder if your new part was a dud. It's happened before. I'm not sure why that ABS module would keep it from starting though.

Same here. Forget frog lube, save your money.

I use synthetic motor oil on all my firearms, 1911's, AR's, Shield, etc. I apply it with an artist brush. Never had any problems. Just my experience over thousands of rounds.

It HAS to be a monetary record of how much we spent ($950k) to get our a$$es handed to us.

You not wanting it, doesnt stop it from happening. People are driving around drunk and high now. My argument is that just like gun laws, people are going to circumvent the drug laws. The war on drugs has failed. I watched a video a year or so ago where they interviewed some high ranking cop in Denver. He stated that crime has gone up(slightly) since they legalized weed, especially property crime. He was quick to point out that it wasn't the drug doing this. What happened was that all of society's rejects have flocked there. So if you think about it, these are people that were likely already committing crimes elsewhere and now they have relocated to one spot. If it were legal everywhere you wouldn't see this localized uptick in crime. When TN legalized CBD last year I stopped by a store in West Knoxville. I was the only customer under 60 in the store. Some of the customers were in their 80's. They were buying something to help their various health issues. I guarantee that these people would love some legal weed. CBD is like non-alcoholic beer. And they are not the type to drive around stoned. I have an uncle living in Seattle. He just retired from a successful career with Lochkeed Martin. He's a Trump supporting conservative, not a "druggie loser". He started vaping THC in the evenings and told my dad this is the first time he's had good sleep in a few decades. The government has no business telling these people what they can do in the privacy of their homes. If they drive impaired then they should face stiff penalties just like drunk driving but to pretend this is more dangerous than alcohol is just not true. The arguments against weed is that the sky will fall and drugs addicts will start raping and pillaging. This is an emotional based reaction that sounds just like the arguments we hear against guns. Both are short on facts.

Beto is crying and dropping F bombs on CNN right now about including a mandatory “buyback” with the AWB he would propose. I don’t recall the government ever owning my guns to “buyback”. All this polarizing rhetoric will only drive more red to the polls. I hope these candidates keep talking about guns until Election Day. It has never served them well. They say they don’t want to take our guns and in the next sentence, they literally say they want confiscation of certain guns. I don’t own any hunting rifles or shotguns, so yes, the government wants to take all of my guns.

This is still in my want bucket. Needs bucket is nearly full. Desire bucket represents slightly more expensive items and projects.

We have 2 pair buzzing our house (I think ??) 2 males with the ruby rings around the throat, and then one female with a spot of ruby red on the throat (didn't know it was M or F until the above post). The other female does not have any ruby on her throat that I've seen, but could be wrong as they don't stay still for long. I seen a total of 5, maybe 6 playing "it's all mine, it's all mine (the feeders), when they all join in it looks like a WWII dog fight, just with supersonic midget fighters. LOL

It’s been going on for nearly 100 years now. Remember Prohibition and how that turned out?

Has the war on drugs worked? Yes/no? Answer-No. Legal weed is in fact cheaper than illegal weed. Prices in the legal states have plumetted thanks to competition. Capitalism is awesome! These threads always show the people that actually love freedom and the ones that want government control. DeerSlayer, not directing this at you specifically. But you can't simultaneously say that "banning drugs will keep people from getting them" while also saying "banning guns won't keep criminals from getting them." They are one in the same.

So, a false "Red flag" .......

Are we not going to discuss this? They are saying this is the worst loss in many decades. By the end of the 3rd quarter I was pulling for GA St. I'm so over the vols. How can a program generate so much money and still be this terrible? Amazing.

It runs great without the module. Plug it in and all sorts of weird stuff happens.

Haha!!! You know how it goes, just because he’s there now don’t mean I’ll ever see him in person but I’m sure hoping so. Those split G2’s got me tore up!! Thanks KahrMan, I’m gonna try.

If the module was never flashed it will do exactly as you describe. When they have been flashed they are usually plug and play but not always. Try starting it and then reconnect the module to see if your ECM will learn it. Even then it may take several key cycles to put the ABS light out.

That worked Thanks

WINNER WINNER...

Technology is great......when it works.

Trust me. The are ALL computers now.

O.k. I unplug the replacement brake control module and truck runs fine. plug it back in and it's a no go.

Large capacity magazines.....Winchester 1890, 61, 62, 63, & a tremendous amount of rifles could be deemed illegal. Sound Crazy?? Maybe not so much. Hope this gets appealed to the SCOTUS.

I didn’t mean you. I was listening to the reporting on the news and one of the clowns was carrying on about how he got a gun and where did the ammo come from? I just want to hear… Well Bob; I know its just a wild azz guess, but maybe he just went down to the store and bought it....you moron.

I haven’t seen it from Frog lube, but I’ve seen it plenty (not just guns) from WD40. I’m always amused at the lube threads. All this high end "new" stuff and guess who never has problems? The guys using regular old school gun oil or even motor oil.

Noticed the same thing with .223/5.56. Ammo is slightly on the rise. Grabbing a few more cases now.

Wandered over to SGAmmo site & looked at 9mm. Prices up a bit from a few weeks ago & many of the 1000 Rd cases were out of stock. Didn't check any other calibers.

Having been in the money lending business for a long time: Greater than 40% revolving usage does impact your FICO score. It makes prime lenders nervous if you want or need to borrow more money It does increase the probability of future bankruptcy, regardless of FICO score. I primarily use two rewards cards (business and personal) and pay the balances monthly. Need to keep some revolving activity to positively impact my FICO score. It took me years of strict spending habits to eliminate cc debt incurred by my younger self.

Grand Torino thanks again, I'm gonna have to get a display stand for this one. You and 1911alltheway really did a great job on this project, I'm sure glad you decided to make this one.

Palmetto State Armory with coupon code VENOM is $179.99 plus tax (new tax rules) but....if you use the capitalone wiki buy app/extension in your browser you also get 4% back at PSA! If I didn't already have a trijicon I didn't use I would hook up on this myself! https://palmettostatearmory.com/checkout/cart/

I dunno if I’d say they’re one in the same or that it’s even an argument of freedom vs government control. Unless I missed the Constitutional Amendment that says you have the right to keep and smoke weed or the right to have a heroine needle shall not be infringed. Two different animals IMO. One gives us a right and means to protect against tyranny of government and is specifically addressed in the Constitution, the other induces an altered state of consciousness. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a bunch of druggies wandering (or driving!) around.

That’s nice!

Multiple Rubies, male and female, are re-enacting the "Star Wars Death Star Valley" battle today at my house. Yesterday was the Battle of Britain.

You don’t need to look overseas, that is happening in this country. It happens if you make violent threats and has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment.

Some may laugh, but this is exactly what is occurring in Europe and other countries. Lose the 2nd, and the others fall right behind it.

Everybody needs a hobby, I guess. I've always watched people like the OP with a bit of amused curiosity at the amount of work they're willing to put into a return - kind of the same with travel hackers who are managing multiple cards for loyalty points or airline miles. I don't know that I've got the bandwidth to commit to the active management it would take. For most people, I'd be concerned about them wiping out their return and then some when they miss a payment or whatever. But, if this is your thing - good luck and Godspeed. A little extra money is a little extra money.

Yep....

My personal observation and opinion is that we are currently in a buyers market except for niche or highly sought after firearms. With sub-$500.00 AR's (some pretty decent) and many, many Police trade in Glocks and M&P's, and frequent "Specials" from online retailers the used gun market is very competitive, and therefore moving very slowly. We can see from our own Classified section that folks are looking for certain firearms as witnessed by the recent "bumping up" of 1-3 year old threads inquiring about certain firearms. Of Course it would help those folks if sellers would simply Close their ads after they've sold the item... but what the heck... But most firearms here, on Gunbroker and various boards are just moving low & slow. It's a phenomenal time for folks to stock up or acquire what they need or want. It'll change, sooner or later, always does.

I can't wait to get my hands on this one thank's for doing this build for me Grand Torino.

The pros say Sambar Stag from India is the best. Harder, less brittle, less pith and the best color of all. I tend to believe it. For years there was an export ban by India and the deer population was threatened due to... With proper management the export ban has finally been lifted I'm told.
