  1. Well it certainly took a turn, not which direction it's headed yet. Looks gay but it's a few posts too early to tell yet.
  2. Well yeah, just don't have a gun in my hand.
  3. I think another member on here has the Winchester SXAR which is identical and I think his is camo. Might be TDR, can't remember. Any comparison on weight between this and an AR-10?
  4. That is awesome. I think it would look great with some nice wooden handles. The ultimate would be a Damascus blade and ivory handles.
  5. It's be great for a general use light but not for a weapon light or a self defense light. One of the things I HATE HATE HATE about Streamlight is their button interface goes HIGH-STROBE-LOW. And for a pocket light the size of a Surefire Backup, strobe is NOT a primary function. I use mine more as a utility light than self defense and I use low a lot. If I could disable strobe I would, it's not a useful feature to me.
  6. Marlin 336 in .30/30. Then once he gets into guns he can get a Winchester :) A quality bolt gun like a Remington 700 in anything from .243 on up not including magnums. If he isn't used to shooting rifles, a magnum would likely turn him away from it as well as a magnum being completely useless in TN for hunting. A .270 will reach out there and drop anything he sees.
  7. Keeping it is absolutely out of the question. Not only do you have the fact that it isn't yours and it's purely stealing, but also the possibility that it may be stolen or have been used in a crime. I probably wouldn't even touch it and get my prints on it. No way in this world I would keep it though.
  8. Hopefully so, anything to loosen the laws.
  9. Welcome! Sounds like you will fit it just fine, I think there are a few others on here that share at least one of your other hobbies as well.
  10. Same here. Guy at work asked who my doctor was in Manchester because his Dad was a doctor there. I told him I didn't have a doctor, he couldn't believe it. I'm 27 but I don't go to the doctor unless forced. The human body is actually pretty resilient. Just give it time and it will usually heal on its own. And your body will thank you for less processed food and more natural.
  11. Depends on your interpretation of generation...
  12. Former member from long time back, wasn't long after TGO was first started. He got banned too. A lot of the guys from back then aren't even around anymore.
  13. Yeah, between kwik, and the house cleaning, there has been worse. So far. This thread has some real potential though.
  14. I hate hipsters as much as any one, but if it makes knife carry more acceptable in the urban areas and other states, then so be it. Hipsters are about as non scary as it gets and if liberals have to fight the youngsters they are trying to get to vote for them, they won't like it.
  15. Some large corporation will buy them up and keep them floating. Similar to Freedom Group/Cerebus

    HK VP40

    I went to their website and went to sort their handguns by caliber in the search and it didn't list .41 magnum as an option. I knew that recently the 57 was produced in their classic line but with not seeing it on their website, I assumed they had dropped it from lack of sales.
  17. I think there was a short thread on it when it first came out in theaters. I saw it in theatre and loved it. Awesome movie. Loves the action and gunplay as we.

    HK VP40

    S&W doesn't make a .41mag anymore. Neither does Dan Wesson. Colt doesn't unless it's available from their custom shop in a SAA. Ruger sells their Blackhawk in it but that's the only current production firearm I'm aware of. Marlin doesn't make their 1894 in it anymore. I'm a gun nut and I read the magazines but I don't believe a word they say. I mostly just look at them to see if anything new has come out in the firearms world that I haven't heard about yet.

    HK VP40

    10mm vs .41mag isn't an accurate analogy. .41mag was a bit more powerful than .357mag and just a touch less than .44mag. It was developed for police wanting .44mag power with less recoil. And at a time that police were transitioning over to 9mm semi autos. It was doomed from the start. Now, 10mm, nothing can touch it in a semi auto. Maybe .45super or .460rowland bi they aren't production calibers. 10mm is THE magnum auto loader caliber. It's not going anywhere. It may fade in popularity but it's never going away.
  20. Like troutburger, while reading it, I was thinking Rem 700 in .300blk. Or if price conscious, a Ruger American. I'm assuming that when you say 7.62, you are referring to 7.62NATO, or .308win. If so there are a few companies loading subsonic .308. The thing is, it's the same bullet as is in a .300blk and the same amount of powder and same primer just a different case and more empty space left in the larger case, which can sometimes lead to inconsistent ignition. Also you are stuck with using a larger action for the .308win. For subsonic .308 caliber, whether it's .300blk or .308win, the 208gr AMAX, 220gr SMK, or a heavy cast bullet is what is commonly used.

    HK VP40

    Hell I'd be happy with a HK45 in 10mm or really anything HK in 10mm. Or anything new production in .357sig.
  22. Where I grew up and lived until 3 years ago (Manchester area) NOTHING works except Verizon. Either you have Verizon ( or A carrier using Verizon's network) or you have very crappy and spotty service. After I moved to Murfreesboro area, I guess everything works up here, but I stuck with Verizon. I have used the Verizon prepaid phone too and they work just as well.
  23. A .410 shotgun will make you realize just how much you have to aim a shotgun and not just point in the general direction. The lack of shot capacity makes it the hardest gauge of shotgun to hit with. But, if you can hit a flying bird with a 410, you can hit it with anything.
  24. Between the various machine shops out there and now the 3d printers becoming popular, they will have their hands full. Much less the millions and probably billions of guns already out there.
