All gone

Well, it got to me. My Dad, who died in 1991, was a die hard Chevy man, and I have longed to restore a '68 Chevy Impala Super Sport in his memory. God Bless you, Dad. I miss you . . .

I have a complete night vision set up to include a large/extra large Ops Core fast base jump helmet. It has 4D pads. Norotos mount. Also includes a administrative white and IR rail mounted light. A counterweight pouch that holds batteries and lead weight. The PVS 14 is a Omni 7 GEN 3 green phosphorus tube with no identifiable blems. The PVS was purchased from night combat solutions and has approximately 75 hours worth of use. No marks, scratch or defects. I used this set up mainly for walking trails at night or driving the four wheeler with all the lights blacked out. PVS fits in a padded pouch that stores in the helmet for protection. Adapter for dove tail mount included. 2900 Greg Proarcaviationgmail.com please use email for best comms

Nice... Did Chevrolet Have to Make America Cry With Its New Christmas Ad? – RedState

I'm finding powder here and there at something around $35 a pound. And I just bought 1000 Berry's 30-carbine bullets for $100. The last primers I saw for sale at a retail store were insanely priced. Premium bullets continue to fetch premium prices, but plinkers are available. I check Hodgdon and Powder Valley just about every day looking for some Retumbo or H1000, but no luck so far. When a powder comes available you'd better be ready to push the "buy now" button, as it won't be available for long. I've seen Varget at suggested retail price twice in the past couple of months, and it's gone within an hour. I cast bullets for quite a few of my handguns and a couple of rifles. I have a fair bit of lead on hand, so I should be able to continue with that for a few years. But finding tin to mix in has become more and more difficult. My local thrift shops probably think I collect pewter pieces, but it gets cut down and tossed in the pot.

Then don’t listen to them. Disregard their opinions. Move along. Problem solved. i guess you’re of the opinion everything should be presented or said in the guise of racial justice.

OK , lets not fall into the "upstanding citizen of color gunned down while minding his own business" false narrative. Arbery was caught with a gun in a high school basketball game and arrested in 2013, was arrested for trying to steal a TV from Walmart in 2017, had mental issues (diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after a 2018 incident ) where his mom had to call the police on him where she warned the dispatcher that responding officers should be careful because he would become violent if the police were confrontational...... so lets just stop the "he was a pillar of the community" stuff. According to WTOC 11 in Savannah ....." Arbery pleaded guilty to charges he carried a gun onto a high school campus in 2013, a year after he graduated. Rodney Ellis, police chief for the Glynn County school system, testified at Wednesday’s hearing that Arbery tried to evade officers on foot and stopped only when two of them pointed guns at him. He was also arrested in 2017 on charges that he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart store. Court records show he pleaded guilty to shoplifting. Arbery was on probation at the time of his death." Being on probation from the shoplifting conviction might be a good reason to not submit to citizens arrest....He was also locally known to convenience store owners as "The Jogger " who would jog up in front of convenience stores and stop and stretch and then run inside , steal merchandise and run off. Now as to the three dumbasses that killed him.....Unlike Tennessee where you can't legally use lethal force to make a citizens arrest . under the confusing and poorly written GA law at the time of the killing it was LEGAL to use lethal force to perform a citizens arrest. That does not mean it was wise. These guys should have IMMEDIATELY called 911 and let the people who get paid to do that kind of thing arrest him. He was not committing a violent felony that needed to be stopped immediately so just get on the phone and don't go chasing him. Unfortunately emotions got the better of logic and chase was on. Now if we want to argue that the defendants were tired of stuff getting stolen in the neighborhood and that they had seen him there more than once (and he had actually been caught on at least 5 different dates on surveillance camera inside a house under construction in the Satilla Shores) then OK fine, but just like the angry dog chasing the car....what exactly did you plan to do with the car once you catch it? These guys were not just out cruising around looking for black joggers to shoot. They were chasing him specifically because they (right or wrongly ) thought he specifically was the one responsible for all the petty theft going on in that neighborhood. And MAYBE he was .... we do not KNOW for sure that he wasn't. But like I tell everyone that will listen....you REALLY need to have a very short and very well thought out and reasoned list of things you are willing to kill people over because once you interject the gun someone may well die. Even if you are within the law (and the way the confusing citizens arrest statute at the time was written they arguably were ) when the chase begins , are you prepared for what may happen if you corner him and he does not submit peacefully? What if he is not afraid of your gun? What if he tries to take it? The easiest way to avoid that bad situation is to simply avoid that situation altogether. Call the police and let them do what they get paid to do. Should they have been convicted? I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with what they got convicted of (malice murder) . Manslaughter? Yep. Criminally negligent homicide? Probably. I do not think they intended to kill him when this was set in motion . I think it was reckless and they should well have known that someone might get killed from their actions (pretty much what criminally negligent homicide is) but I don't believe they set out intending to kill the guy. They got convicted largely because they killed a guy who was not a danger to the community (at the time) but who may well have been stealing stuff in the neighborhood. You can't legally shoot people for stealing property ...especially OTHER people's property. And if your dumbassery (chasing him) set the stage for him trying to take your gun (that's when he was shot) then yeah you are kind of responsible and you are probably going to get convicted.

These were made for a very limited time by silencerco and work very well. Easily mounts to any Picatinny rail and allows you to push a pressure pad and get an instant reading of distance to target. You can set it to constant on and with Night Vision watch the IR beam range your target. I use this mainly with Night Vision as its hard to judge distance in the dark. Figuring out how far a coyote is in an open cornfield is difficult without a rangefinder. Perfect condition not a scratch on it. 950$

Seems a couple of folks were looking for this earlier.

This is the best I could do off the back porch into the woods. It’s fairly dark back in the wood line. Not the best pics holding a I pad and a 14 at same time

My first effort with the scope after dark was a disappointment until I realized there was a "Day" mode and a "Night" mode. Once I switched to night mode I was pleased.

First off, glad he’s getting better! And yeah vets tend to not be cheap in most cases but glad they’re around for sure. Second, glad to hear your NV showed up and you’re enjoying it I’m not sure which IR comes with that but I didn’t realize mine had adjustment and had it on flood and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Tightened up the beam and BAM, huge difference. Hope you pop some yotes with it soon!

I ordered the Wraith HD 2-16x28 due to the increased field of view at closer distances. It arrived today and I have just been out trying it for view and clarity. When I decided which version I wanted I went to order and it just happened that they went on sale at 20 percent off so I got it for 390.00 + tax. I realize this is a budget unit in the world of night scopes but I am very pleased so far. Once adjusted, 25 to 150 yards is very clear and it appears that it would exceed that with no problem. The supplied IR light worked fine for this range but I also have another more powerful weapon mount IR if needed sometime. I plan to mount it and sight it in this week. I hope TN adopts night hunting for yotes so I can justify going thermal down the road. My Boston is doing well and will get a lot of stitches out in about a week. I also learned during my vet visits that "Hydro Therapy" is an expensive term for rinsing with warm water.

Actually I just bought my 49 year old daughter a new Bright Red Kia Soul for Christmas. Since she is an only child and will inherit what little I have, I decided to give her part of it now so I can watch her enjoy it. Of course I also bought myself a new Ford Maverick truck while I was at it. No need to leave any money behind.

This one made me laugh:

I saw this on another forum and thought it was so good that I should share it here.

Gone.

That hits hard right in the feels in so many ways.

It was not a commercial about selling a car. It was a heart warming commercial about a daughter doing something for her father and a small garage stepping up to help and to me that is what Christmas is all about. I liked and enjoyed it.....JMHO

Sold to a good guy excellent comms

I've been buying Federal Auto Match .22LR at Walmart when I catch it. At $20 a box of 325, I don' think that's bad at all. Now the Winchester Anniversary Boxes at $40 are a big no go.

Ended up with only 9 for the night. Only one group all the rest were lone boars. We shot 4 of the 8 at 165 yards running. 6 of the hogs were between 250 and 275. One hog head coming home. Most shots happened between 150 and 220 yards.

I don't frequent Wal Mart as much as I once did. Kinda soured me over their attitude on the ammo and gun thing.

They usually have some 12's and a few boxes of 28's but that's about it. They did have quite a few CCI standard vel. 22's.

Take my money ;-). I'll message you.

I have the ADM mount from Outdoor Legacy Gear. It places the scope in the same position on the rifle as the supplied factory mount. I have been told by ADM, (via email), that the mount listed below will also work for the Wraith. Said they were bringing in a Wraith yesterday for testing. This style would allow for a more rearward positioning of the scope. I haven't yet received an update from any tests on their behalf. https://www.admmfg.com/ad-b3-c-cantilever-acog-base For bolt guns .... https://sightmark.com/collections/mounts/products/wraith-long-mount-for-bolt-action-rifles

No it's not.

Hahahaha this had me in stitches. Maybe partnered with the grinch outfit while you do it.

Which was months after the incident. Didn't the police have the video from day one? Regardless, that's more on the prosecution that refused than the police. And more about cronyism than race.

All I know is there are three guys in Georgia who just got convicted of murder while having illusions of being “good samaritans” when they should have minded their business and called the cops. I am not law enforcement. Living in Memphis has taught me to mind my own business. I’ll leave the hero stuff to the cops and people wishing to be killed, jailed and/or financially ruined. I’m middle aged, and don’t want to ruin my comfortable life playing Charles Bronson.

Let's Go Brandon ! To the Top

Well, good luck with all that. With the prices of guns going up like they have, coupled with the dearth of .22LR revolvers of quality, I'd bet a lot of folks are going to keep theirs in the safe, IMO. I toyed with selling one or two of my Smiths over the last year but have since decided to wait another year, see where prices are. If you do latch onto something, please post what it is. I'd be curious what caught your eye?

I WANT this gun, but I NEED to wait until the prices are reasonable.

The first non-corrosive primers were made in the 20's, but didn't become very popular until the mid-50's when many of the world's military organizations began switching over ...

A good first step would be to stop putting these folks back on the streets.

I carry my tiny Rugers everywhere, but my personal favorite handgun is this Cajunized CZ PCR DA 7 lb 14 oz; SA 3 lb; 9 oz

Cajunized CZ P01

My CZ 75 SP-01 with a tickling of Cajun Gun Works...

Browning HiPower, hands down.

You’re fine with a loaded gun inside of your vehicle. You cannot legally carry it outside of the vehicle.

Nice trip. Few I piled up in Arkansas last weekend. FullSizeRender.mov
