We need more people to step up like Lionsfan!  Thank you.   You know this is a case to increase minimum wage.  These poor old counter folks who are making $7.25 an hour, they have to eat, so I am sure they have kickbacks not because they are bad folk, but because they have to eat!  They need to make $20 per hour, so they can live a comfortable life, and they will then never unhandily sell ammo again!  :rofl:

I think if you research the 357Sig and why some PD have moved away from 40 to 357Sig, the engine block theory will be debunked.   BTW I did lose respect over 9mm based upon this story from Knoxville in 1995, I think this guy took 5 shots of 9mm by TBI agents and lived: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19940709&id=vgMiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7scEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6344,1082795

I have bought a many of things, and I have sent a many of things through the USPS, I have no stories.  I guess the law of it will happen is certainly going to catch up to me.  So I must be at high risk since it has not happened to me.

My wife would want one of these for herself, she says I am a know it all person! 

It was 68 just moments ago on the wife's minivan outside temperature gauge.  It is slightly breezy.  My weather rock is dry, and is moving.  Quite warm to the touch. 

I was in Pigeon Forge yesterday, this one for sure makes me go hmmmmm, not for what I saw, but for how the entrepreneurship idea hit the owner: [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/goatsontheroof_zpsd552665d.jpg.html][/URL]

I guess this guy needed his brother's keeper, then all would be all right.

Does this mean Apple I-phone production will not be met this week?

Dag Jim! On March 1st, it was 65 and beautiful, and today maybe a little cloudy, but nonetheless mid 60s, but tomorrow freezing rain, snow. Gees................ :surrender: [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/weather_zps4de75a58.jpg.html][/URL]

One thing about guns, you never just have a only one gun!  You will buy another!  Welcome.

I view books as directional guides only.  Classifieds here, Armslist, Gunbroker, is the real market.  I mean the items that actually sell, not the asking prices.  I am sure most folks run across that occasional gun that they have no idea what its worth.  The book will get you in ballpark, but the market is actually what a buyer is willing to pay.    I have always read the classifieds of guns, and just about anything else for years.  Not always to be looking for something, but to understand and try to have a memory of certain things.  So when I come across something at a yard sale, a gun show, a flea market, or just a buddy, I can spot a deal if I see one.  My problem is I do find deals, and I do buy.  I really don't need it, and I usually don't sell it.   :screwy: 

I am 46 years old, and I am still in a state of hmmmm over this: [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/chickenoregg1_zps747ac813.png.html][/URL]

One good thing about it being so small, not to much torque will be on it.  I am the master at breaking bolts, rounding nuts, and stripping threads.  I have many easy-outs, but you have to drill a hole in the center of the broken item for the easy out to grab.

Before I got married, I test drove some items, that didn't pan out.  Is this any different?  I also never read any magazines at Walmart or the book store either! 

I purchased my Thumler's Tumber Model B from Stainless Tumbling Media about a year ago, http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com . I caught the stainless steel media on sale at Midway, ebay has some good buys for media too. Then I use local walmart for my Lemi-Shine. Why I chose a tumbler over a vibe bowl, just about every other person who started out the vibe bowl and dry media route on most message boards that I read made the same comment, wished they had went the stainless media route. One of the reasons I lurk on message boards is to learn and not make the same mistakes as others. As an alternative, every now and then you can find a cheap barrel type cement mixer that will do the same job either on craigslist or at Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=cement [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/cement_zpsa0db8718.jpg.html][/URL]

Tag for myself.  Thanks for posting.

It is extremely rare anymore for me to buy from a brick and mortar stores for anything including most durable items, not just gun items.  Nothing against them personally, they just can't compete with the changing market place.  It is 10x easier for me to click buy it on a trusted web site, use a coupon, and have it on my door step in 2 days.  Sorry, I just can't give extra money to a business just because they have a store front and they live in my town.  I have too many bills, too many wants, and not enough money.  I have to smart shop all the time to make the ends meet.     I recently in the past 60 days bought the Aimpoint Pro delivered from Optics Planet for like ~$367 with a special Facebook coupon, and free shipping.  From what "little" research I did, I could only find $409+ tax as the best store front price.  So $449 at the retail store, vs $367 for the same item,  hmmmmm this is a no-brainer, or at least with my money, its a no-brainer.  My :2cents:

Tonights episode "Bulletproof" was about guns and vests, with a little liberal spin.  Anyone catch it?   BTW this is one of only a few TV shows I watch period.  Been watching since 2004.   http://www.cbs.com/shows/ncis/?ttag=tv%3bncis

I hear those guns are very light?

I found this interested article on TTAG. If 2012 doubled over 2011, I wonder what 2013 did triple? http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/02/chris-dumm/atfe-report-ar-15-manufacture-doubled-2011-2012/#more-299423 https://www.atf.gov/sites/default/files/assets/pdf-files/afmer_2012_final_web_report_17jan2014.pdf Because we’re a few months into 2014, the ATF has just released their annual “Annual Firearms Manufacturing And Export Report” for the calendar year…2012. It’s a year late and a dollar short, so we’re lucky that good news can (in this case) wait . . . So what’s the good news? It’s that the manufacture of AR-15 pattern rifles more than doubled from CY 2011 to CY 2012, to a paper number of over 825,000. I say ‘paper’ number because that 825K doesn’t include any AR-pattern pistols like this PWS MK107. And it also doesn’t include any Ruger SR-556s like this one. Or any of the ARs manufactured by Remington or Bushmaster. If these manufacturers were included, as well as AR pistols, the number would approach an even million. Nearly one million ARs produced in a single year.The year before Newtown. And we all know where that number went after Newtown. It is pretty awesome, if you’ve been saving your pennies to buy one. I’m flooding you with pictures of ARs because they’re flooding the market. The sky-high Panic prices of early 2013 are long gone, and entry-level Modern Sporting Rifles can now be found for about $600, which is roughly the same price as in November 2012. AR Magazines have dropped back down to pre-Panic prices, and CTD doesn’t dare advertise a single GI magazine for $125 any more. The price of 5.56 ammo hasn’t quite come down off the ledge yet, but it’s getting there. We won’t know for another year, but my prediction is that 2013 will prove to be an even bigger year for AR manufacture than 2012 was. I don’t see another 100% year-on-year increase happening, but it would be nice to see 2013 being another million-plus year for the single most popular rifle design in America. Keep up the good work, people. The more ARs that exist in private ownership, the more trouble Shannon Watts & Co. will have if they try to ban them.
