  1. Wal-Mart does this every year. Near the end of their fiscal year they put a halt to ordering things they use in the store (toilet paper, shopping bags, etc). This cuts expenses and may help the bottom line. Also think about this- there is a definite ammo shortage right now. We all go in WM and see the empty case. WM has over 3,000 stores. What good would it do for the management in each store (which is at least 6 people per store) to go in and enter an order over and over for something that may be awhile coming. That clogs up the system. I think we can take off the tinfoil hats, there is no great conspiracy.......

  3. You show up at 7:00 AM and you will be about 9 hrs too late. Stores usually start unloading the truck about 4 pm and around 10 PM they bring it out and stage it around the store for the overnight stock crew to put out.
  4. I got my first Glock (a G22) back in 1993 and I've both personally owned or have been issued a G22, G23 and G27. I recently got a Gen4 G26 from another TGO member and I really liked the texture on the frame. So much so that today I bought another G23 in Gen4. FWIW, I have no need for the changeable grip panels. I was a LEO in Florida where it is far more humid than here in TN and I was around water, swamps, in hurricanes, on/off boats, etc. I like the texture of the Gen4 and the confidence it gives me around wet & slimey environs. Hold both Gen3 & Gen4 and decide for yourself.
  5. Here's a shot of Yeager when he was a contestant on "One Man Army". As I remember he was eliminated early in the episode so I guess he's not as tacticool as he thinks he is. http://www.discoveryuk.com/dni-media/photogallery-tool/mu-61/media-52943-190248.jpg Yep, I remember now. He didn't know how to slide down the rope bridge and got stuck half way. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xxf1TAsqaVY/0.jpg
  6. He was getting off the X, but apparently the X was chasing him down the road...
  7. The store in Bartlett got in 4 of the 420 round 5.56 ammo cans last night. The employee I talked with said they had customers standing around the counter at midnight waiting as they put tax stamps on them. They were gone like that. The same employee also said that the store in Millington also got 4 cans and word is an employee there bought them and then went out in the parking lot and resold them. I'd hate to know that was true.
  8. Yelling, "THE BUILDING IS ON FIRE" in a crowded theater is not protected speech so I bet it ain't smart to get on the grid and threaten to kill people in a very angry tone. Especially in our current state of affairs.
  9. Here is a link to all EO's issued since FDR. You can spend days reading thru them and see that they are issued for a plethora of subjects. http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/disposition.html
  10. Saban may have had a good game plan but ND had no business being in that game. In fact, the NC was decided at the end of the SEC Championship because ND couldn't have beaten UGA either. I agree that Jones is an outstanding offensive lineman but if Te'o was that talented (he did come in second in Heisman voting) then he should have been able to separate himself from an OG and make a play. In fact, most people I know that watched the game didn't even realize Te'o was in the game until late in the 3rd qtr. No one that is truly that good of a player gets neutralized the entire game. For as good as ND's defense is supposed to be they still should have brought their offense with them to Miami. The offense they did have looked lethargic and over- whelmed & couldn't score any points til UA had put in the 3rd string defense. That put immense pressure on a LB and NG to win the game. Let's sum up the game like this- Alabama & Notre Dame could play every day between now and St. Patrick's Day and Notre Dame would still never beat Alabama.
  11. Every Wal-Mart store sells toilet paper. Every store sells Tylenol. Every store sells dog food. Every store sells laundry detergent. Not all stores sell guns. If they were such money makers don't you think Wal-Mart would have them in every store?
  12. I checked there and once I did I remembered they are actually sold out. They have been for sometime. Thanks for pointing them out to me tho.
  13. I was only looking for a box or 2   Thanks! I'll check and see if they have some left   Sorry, never thought of that. Guess I should have said I'll by the brass, etc, if someone with a reloader will help me load some rounds.
  14. Does anyone know where I can pick up some 300BLK ammo without being gouged or is there someone here that reloads this round that would be willing to sell me a box? I want supersonic rounds cause I'm not using a suppressor at this time. I'm almost done with my AR build and want some ammo to shoot thru it. Thanks.
  15. I'd disagree with you. Wal-Mart makes its money from selling food, toilet paper and Tylenol- not from guns & ammunition. They'll keep these because customers do look to purchase them. Not because they make a lot of money on them.
  16. They've been video taping them for years. They have cameras everywhere and if you have been in a Walmart then they have you on tape.
  17. And, Wal-Mart is a nearly $700B company. A company that employs so many and has revenue of over half a trillion isn't scared of the gov't.
  18. [quote name="peejman" post="878278" timestamp="1357592715"]Based on that site, you're looking at $1500-ish for the billet.  While machining titanium isn't especially hard, it is very, VERY slow.  To fully machine an AR receiver from a billet would take days.  Say 40 hrs @ $100/hr... $4000 in machine time.  You'd probably burn up $1000+ in end-mills.  Assuming you've already got the various jigs and gauges necessary, it would be very expensive.  $8000 easy.  $10,000 if you wanted to make money.[/quote] Plus the charging handle, BCG, gas block, comp, buffer tube and rail system are titanium as well. Those take machine time as well.
  19. I guess a $95k price is a marketing tool. Gets more attention than simply saying, " AR-15 with titanium parts".
  20. I know but I figured we can all chip in and pay for it. I'll keep it at my house at first but we can treat it like a time-share condo. Each investor can put in a bid for the week they want it.....:-)
  21. This is one bad a** AR but I doubt my wife will let me buy one. I'd have to pick up a lot of aluminum cans on the side of the road to be able to pay for it. http://nemoarms.com/portfolio/tione-serial-no-1titanium-308-battle-rifle/gallery/guns/
  22. I think I'll stick with plant based ingredients for my beer.
