Nah man, I got really tired of Amber Alerts waking me up between 1-3am because a non-custodial parent had possession of their child in Shelby County.

RIP Deputy McGowan. It was refreshing to see S&W kick in 40k reward money.

Maybe I'm also an a-hole, but when I'm asleep in my bed, I am not going to wake up and join the search. Therefore I put my phone on DoNotDisturb on a schedule for 8 hours every night. I'm not offended by them in any way, but I sleep poorly enough as it is, so it can wait til morning. I don't need to add my phone to the list of things that wake me up from a sound sleep. I check the alerts right away the next morning and throughout the day to see if I need to be on the lookout or not though.

I got the message twice and it contained a link to facebook, which didn't work. It turns my stomach to think that some important detail for the community requires zuckerturd.

Sad situation. Hopefully he's caught without anyone else getting hurt. Side note, am I the only heartless bastard that has amber alerts turned off? I don't have an option to turn the Blue alerts off.

I'm shocked.

And of course the crazy thing is, there is no line on a P&L, there's no one in any boardroom of any publicly traded company anywhere that says this is a bad decision. To the contrary, to everyone who cares, it looks like a good decision. But then one day you wake up - and you've lost core capabilities. You literally cannot do those critical things anymore. You get to a point where not only have you taken advantage of your employees - but now your business model depends on that low cost labor because management has looted every last dollar and there's nothing left. Once storied brands are now shells of their former selves. And of course consumers are mostly okay with that. Yeah, we complain about it. But we also like paying $17.99 for a pair of jeans. And as it turns out - when 70% of GDP is consumer spending - this whole late stage capitalism thing kind of depends it.

Did any of you guys have one of these? It came with a bunch of little wires, and the little pegs on the board were these little springs. You could bend the spring, insert the wire and create all kinds of circuits. I spent hours making all kinds of stuff. One of the things you could make was an AM radio, which was the coolest thing to an 8 year old.

Well it did not inconvenience me I prayed for The murdered officer family and the other wounded officer and the BCSO family. This action by a felon will affect a lot of lives People should be grateful men and women are out there in the darkness keeping their communities safe. I doubt you’ll turn off those alerts when it you’re family and friends are involved

I’m more upset about hearing this than about Toby Keith

Have a Winchester M1917 (made in 1918) that has a Jeweled Bolt, Timney Trigger, 2-7x28 Leopold Vari-X II. Rebarreled to .375 H&H with an Ahlman Stainless Barrel.

Switched to Mossberg exclusively and this is the only 870 I have so I figured I would get rid of it. I've had it for several years and shot it very little. Runs great and has a smooth action. Added sidesaddle and light. It has an 18" barrel. **Reduced** $450 Located in Chattanooga

May trade for nice lever guns or Rugers.

I think I’ve had my account on here for about a month and made my first purchase through the forums smoothly and I love it here I know a little about firearms as I just recently started collecting them knives have been my hobby for a long time and have an extensive knife collection good day and god bless to all that read this

I’ve not progressed beyond a single stage. I clean, size, and prep cases in batches, and store them until such time I want to reload them. I’ll then charge one case, grab a bullet, and load that round. Repeat. I realize this isn’t the most efficient way to do it, but it works for me. I know they’d be handy, but I’ve never owned a reloading tray.

If ya have a progressive loader ( I do... A Dillon 650 ), I would strongly recommend that ya choose a powder that cannot double charge a case without spilling out of the case. Using fast burning powders in progressive loaders is a genuine hazard, even if ya can see in every case. If you use a single stage press, look at the powder level in every case. I habitually prep and expand the cases, then I add powder as a stand alone step, usually prepping them 50 at a time. I then look in every single case to verify the powder level. I also may check weigh the powder charge out of a few of the cases as well. I find myself reloading more and more in the old single stage press than the Dillon; especially when loading the bigger cases with powders like Unique, 231, or Titegroup... leroy.

I simply do not understand why fancy phone alerts such as this “offend” so many people. It’s a community service regardless of where you live. Cop killers, kidnappers, etc., can be anywhere in the state before those alerts are even sent out. Maybe it’s to alert the public to keep an eye out for them to actually help if they see whoever needs to be found?

This one hangs out on my bench as a reminder. Carefulling in process hammered out above. Fast powders with poor case fill….. you can never be too careful. Not a scratch here, but I always wonder how this would have turned out if it wasn’t a plated HBwc. Shot out the tip like a rocket and burned through the cylinder stop notch on a s&w 64 scorching top strap. I think I shared on here a decade ago but here’s a reality show reminder. worse things have happened with factory loaded ammo, so don’t get complacent on the shooter side.

$300 .....it's not going to happen. I'm sorry

What is this? Noo Yawk City?

I have Garands and few carbines, lets trade, Jim

Don't worry Brother. No offense taken. I'm about like you Brother, it's just close to home . leroy ...

I do not mean to diminish the gravity of the situation. What I'm saying is that an old man asleep in the bed in Macon County can't do much to help it.

By pure happenstance I didn't turn on my " do not disturb " function on the phone. I woke up to this about 12:30 pm. I sent up a prayer over this as well. It is, indeed, sad that this act of madness happened. This shooter here must be a thoroughly dangerous man. It's reported that they tazed him with no effect and he hit the woods running after shooting the deputies. I don't think they have caught sight of him yet. I'ma thinkin he had a cel phone and made a rescue call and somebody picked him up. I'd say he is a " dead man walking " now... The BCSO does a pretty good job keeping a grip on the hoodlum class in Blount County, so I'm surprised and saddened by this barbarism. It simply demonstrates what is out there on " the frontier ". I grew up near this part of the world, know the territory pretty well, and have friends that live around here. That makes this senseless act of murder and mayhem all the more close to home. leroy...

THIS!!! If my phone goes off with some alert every night from halfway across the state, I tend to ignore what might be pertinent to myself. When you get endangered child alerts for 17 year old runaways it kind of makes it unimportant. Chicken Little comes to mind.

Barrel details? What kind of muzzle device? How much does it weigh? How's the recoil?

I got only one. It took me a few seconds to realize that it wasn’t my alarm. Then my concern became my wife not waking up and listening to her raise hell because she thought work was calling me in the middle of the night again.

My dad served in Nam. Mechanized artillery. M107 I believe. I never got a single story from him. He didn't want to talk about it at all. I learned a few sparse facts from my mother. I think I learned enough when I bought him his first DVD player and put in my favorite movie at the time "We were soldiers". At one point he popped out of his chair and started yelling at the guys for running after a Vietcong. "Don't do it, don't do it!" After that, I got it. He didn't need to relive it with me.

100% this.

I have my amber alerts off as well. Wife has her phone set for all of those, so she'll know when I didn't listen to her when she told me where to go. Sad to hear about the police officers, god speed with the families.

We went to a friends daughters 30th birthday last week. We first meet the family when the daughter was 3. Our son went to school with their oldest daughter, we are getting old Greg, and it aint for the weak!

Well here's the final product. The dye job came out pretty good, I was kind of surprised when I got it done matches the lower end pretty good. I might do another one in 9mm just got to round up all the parts.

Who here had a chemistry lab. I always thought that was pretty cool. The one I had was similar to this one:

The wife sees me at the bench pulling the lever handle and believes I'm saving us money. I don't want to confuse her with the facts.

I still have some of those somewhere, they are in a square container made out of some type of cardboard . I found a picture of what it looks like.

SG is a top-notch family-owned business. Did you file a claim with UPS? If they lost it, it's really on them. They take their time though.

My biggest thing is don’t do something else while you’re loading. I used to listen to podcasts, and I’ve had more than one round not get powder. Now I don’t do anything while reloading except for that. And if my wife comes to talk to me she knows I’m not paying attention until the bullet I’m working on goes in the ammo carrier.

I've been there once. Walked in and was greeted. Walked around and browsed. I was asked if I could be helped, I politely said no thanks. While I was squatting down checking on items I might buy, I was told I couldn't carry my gun in the store without it being in a holster. I carry my g26 at 6 oclock in a 20yr old hybrid comptac iwb as I have for as long as I've owned that holster. When I lifted my shirt to show it was in a holster, the guy got offended that I would carry a gun like the "idiots" do on TV. I told him his attitude and statement lost a customer for life and asked where is the store manager. He said he was the "floor" manager. I just walked out. There is a gun store/range in Maryville called Gunnys...got treated like crap there too years ago and never went back. It's changed owners since then but I'll never go back to any place that doesn't respect their customers.
