Would you recommend buying just the press, or the "kit"? I'd rather not buy a kit, if it comes with a bunch of junk that I'll need to immediately replace.

I've never reloaded. I've never watched anyone reload. I know almost nothing bout reloading. I do plan on taking a TGO member or two up on their offers to show me the ropes, but I'd like to get an idea of what I'll need.   Being that I'm in the middle of this 300 Blackout build, reloading for this caliber is my main immediate concern. Other calibers of concern will be mostly .223/5.56 and .40 S&W.   What will I need? If it's not too much trouble, specifics (brands, types, models, etc.) would be most helpful. Also, items to avoid may also come in handy, too.   Thank you in advance.

I don't what what hunters usually do with the antlers, but I thought I'd throw this out there. If you are just going to toss them, I'll gladly take them. I usually buy deer and elk antlers for my dogs to chew on, so they will go to good use. I'm sure there are several other uses, so maybe everyone keeps them for something. Just thought I'd check. 

I agree. The company I drive for had always had their trucks governed at 70. The recently started backing that down to 65-67. This makes passing much more difficult. Thankfully (knock on wood), mine is still set at 70. Even at 70, I pass far more trucks than trucks pass me. If I don't think I can pass in a reasonable amount of time, I stay put. I get paid my the hour, and I have all day.

Wow! Before reading this thread, I had no idea that something as simple as driving a vehicle could possibly be so over-thunked.

Considering 95% of the trucks running up and down the Interstate are governed at or below 70 mph, this should rarely be an issue.

I thought it was common knowledge that most stores had a very limit number of the Doorbuster items. That's why morons camp in front of the store for a week prior to the sale.

How do you get into doing the evaluations and reviews? Sounds like fun.

A slightly different angle.

If I had a car with 600+ HP and a top speed of 200+, I couldn't promise mine wouldn't suffer a similar fate. I hope it was the crash that took them. R.I.P, fellas.

They obviously haven't had a 120 pound tire with 100+ PSI and spinning at 70 MPH blow out next to their window. God forbid it be a steer tire.  Of all the things I encounter as a truck driver, this is probably the most aggravating. Not only is it extremely unsafe for someone in a small vehicle to ride alongside a semi, it leaves the truck driver one less escape route, in the event we need to make a sudden lane change for any number of reasons.

A friend of mine is trying to identify a collapsible stock. He believes it's Mil-Surp, but not sure. It does not have HK printed on it anywhere, so it may be made by PTR?      It has “142” and “X”s stamped over top of the 142 on the bottom.   Does this rign a bell to anyone? Sorry, not pics at this time.

I clean mine every once in a while. Not very often. When I do, I just use hot water and Dawn dish soap. Rub it in with my hands, rinse, hang to dry.

First I've heard about QuickDraw Nashville.   Newly opened by a former Navy Reservist, QuickDraw Nashville is an indoor virtual gun range where civilians and law enforcement can train on virtual firearm training simulators, manufactured by Meggitt Training Systems, just like the ones law enforcement organizations around the country use to train.   With 380 different scenarios from terrorists on an airplane to gunmen in a mall, and even zombies – and and 4,500 different outcomes of those scenarios – shooters can train to learn how to better defend themselves and take out the bad guys without harming innocent bystanders, expending ammunition or wearing heavy protection.   “It is very realistic,” says a local law enforcement officer who has used the simulators. “It puts you in those scenarios and it makes you think about things you wouldn’t ordinarily think about because of your adrenaline, not having had that experience or been in that scenario. You can talk about it and figure out what you would do differently in shoot/don’t shoot situations.”   QuickDraw has three simulation rooms available for 30-minute sessions, outfitted with modified handguns, M-16s and a 12-gauge shotgun.   Thirty-minute sessions will run $20, with target-practice only sessions at $20 per hour.   Rates for memberships and organization team-building events are also available.   Practice at QuickDraw and Save Your Ammo!   http://www.nashville.com/news/nashville-business-news/virtual-gun-range-in-brentwood-attracting-all-types-of-customers

I drive for a living, and if I decided to interact with every dumbass who can't drive with a lick of sense, I'd never get any work done. I have long learned to ignore it. If I see something obscenely crazy, I have been known to dial *THP.    Under no circumstances should you "brake check" someone who's following too close. You're just asking for trouble, especially if the driver behind you cannot react fast enough to prevent an accident at 75 MPH.    I'm not sure what you expected to accomplish by pulling along side the other driver. If anything, you created a more dangerous situation for not only yourself, but everyone else on the Interstate. It's simply not worth it. 

I may take you up on that offer, because I know almost zero about about reloading.

I'm a huge fan of AIC. While it was sad to get an up close look at the deterioration of Layne Staley at the hands of his heroin abuse, the stripped down accoustic MTV Unplugged concert is my favorite.   [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wwEVKBYsLY[/media]   

Congratulations! Once this 300 Blackout is built, I'm gonna have to start looking into reloading. 

http://www.concealednation.org/2013/11/rumored-glock-42-to-be-unveiled-in-january-2014/ UPDATE According to some FFL dealers, they have been seeing new Glock models listed in the inventory of distributors, and that Glock plans to unveil a new gun (or guns) at SHOT SHOW in January. We found the information below here, from forum user shooter521: I was doing some ordering for the shop this evening, and found that the new models are already in our distributor’s system. Very little information is available (and no pics or description), but what is there allows us to make some inferences. They are listed under “handguns,” so no Glock Carbine (big surprise) One model will be the Glock 41. SKU numbers are PG4130101 and PG4130103, which indicate adjustable sights, and a low-cap and hi-cap version. The Glock 41 is more expensive than any of Glock’s other pistols to date; based on the wholesale cost I’m seeing, street price will be $779.95 at my shop. Given that, my official guess is that the new Glock Model 41 is going to be an optics-ready, competition-oriented pistol to compete with the S&W M&P CORE and FNH-USA FNX-45 Tactical. The other model will be the Glock 42. SKU number is UI4250201, which indicates US-made, fixed sights and a low-capacity (10 or less) magazine. Wholesale price on this is only slightly above the Gen3 models, so street price should be $539.95. I think this is a new single stack .380 or 9mm of some sort. Original Article Is it a rumor? If not, what could it be? Speculations are flying around the gun community as to the validity of this flyer. According to the image below, Glock is set to introduce a new line of pistols early next year. The main assumptions are either a single-stack 9mm or a .380 (.380 is unlikely, since they already have this line for law enforcement only). A .380 MAY be likely if they’re manufactured in the USA. Glock releases in sequence, so if a G42 is in the works, we’d imagine a G41 and G40 would also be available shortly after. It’s all speculation at this point. I, for one, wouldn’t mind a compact single-stack 9mm Glock.

I've been hearing a lot of 3D printer commercials on 99.7 FM. If I'm not mistaken, the advertiser is NovaCopy. The ad is directed at parents, telling them what a great idea it is to buy their children a Cube 3D printer. A quick Google search indicates the basic model sells for roughly $1300. 

Thank you kindly, Sir. 

I hope Forbes is wrong about Best Buy, but I wouldn't at all be surprised. First of all, their brick and mortar stores are far too big. If they would give up on the exercise equipment and appliances, only focusing on items you'd expect to see in an electronics store, they could cut their square footage nearly in half.    Then there's probably the biggest problem; online retailers. I think they are a bigger problem than even Wal-Mart. While Wal-Mart is difficult to beat where price is concerned, you could fit their electronics section inside of Best Buys bathroom. Best Buy is quickly becoming little more than a showroom for every other online retailers. Even being a Best Buy Elite Plus member, I am guilty of using Best Buy to put my hands on an item, only to buy it cheaper somewhere else. I am probably more loyal to Best Buy than any other store, period. But sometimes the online savings are just to great to pass up. If/When the Best Buy stores are no longer, I'll be the first one to kick myself in the ass. I love that place. With any luck, maybe they can become the Amazon of the electronics industry. Time will tell.

But I don't think those have velcro knee pads.

Crye Precision G3 combat pants?

You are correct. But they were the first thing that came to mind.
