Hide yo kids, hide yo wife! Black panthers in Middle TN!
Moped replied to monkeylizard's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I think if it's black, it's probably someone's escaped "pet". If it's tan, then it could just be passing through, like the one up in Connecticut last summer. They traced it all the way back from South Dakota. http://content.usato.../1#.T1Otm_UfhKs -
Ouch! I hope they catch whoever did it! I hate thieves!!!

If you have some time to spare check out this guys view.

He's been in and out of trouble with the law. Just a fancier form of scam artist. I watched one of his videos back last summer, then decided to check him out on Google. He was convicted of Fraud back in 2007 and has been in and out of trouble with the SEC. Of course, I'm sure it's all a Government conspircy to get him... yeah right! -
I'd take any of the three!

Congratulations! I love mine! If you don't do anything else to it, upgrade to a double hook trigger. Really improves the trigger group! I can't recommend them highly enough! Great service!

It looks like one of the candidates is finally coming around.

I know that's sarcasm, but I have to tell you that Santorum scares the hell out of me for that very reason. -
Went and read the comments section to this article on WBIR. There were several posts that were a bit eye opening. This isn't apparently a subdivision in the traditional sense. Yes there are some 1/2 acre lots, but there are some that are much bigger and one is about 50 acres. Also the police did talk to the individual(s) doing the shooting and apparently they were shooting the opposite direction and into a dirt bank or berm. Also this guy apparently is somewhat the neighborhood crank and constantly is posting signs for various things in his yard, Like "Stop videotaping our Children!" and other stuff. Now it does sound like his neighbors need to use a little common sense and maybe curtail the shooting after 5 or 6 o'clock, though the article didn't seem very clear on what time it was exactly the shooting was occuring. I see no need to change any laws in Knox County. I think the neighbors should just talk it out and use a little common sense.

Can't dispute this right now, but one can only hope that one of the Republican Candidates will turn it around. Sadly, that hope is slim at this point. I have more hope of capturing the Senate and keeping the House. That won't help the Supreme Court though. -
When did they start importing the ones with the back in already done? Did the BATFE finally through in the towel on the the dumbest rule known to man, 922r?

Newt is right, but he's wrong too. Here's the thing, if we pull out of Afghanistan now, then Al Quida and the Taliban are just going to move back in and sometime in the next ten years we will be attacked again. And then we'll go back there and do it all over again. So do we want to try and fix it or start all over again in later on. Maybe the better question is can we fix it and if not, what is a viable solution? -
If it's got a pouch big enough for an Altoids can, why not make a Personal Survival Kit. Look here. http://www.equipped.org/survlkit.htm#MINIPERSONAL

You know, I love my Saiga, but if you can get the WASR for only a $100 more, you will actually come out cheaper than buying the Saiga and doing a conversion. Both are AKs and they are going to shoot. But I do love my Saiga!
-
I'd be happy to take it off your hands, if you don't want it. Don't have a $100 but we could work a trade out.

Ruger is one of the best values on the market!

Garufa, that was not supplying the rifle. I told them I had a Saiga and wanted to get it converted. This was to one of the sales clerks behind the counter. He never batted an eye. Just told me the conversion would be around $600. I knew what the price was on the parts and I'd seen the Youtube vids, so I knew it wasn't all that hard to do and required no special tools. So I said thank you and left. I ordered my parts the next day. Three weeks later, I screwed up my courage and started the project myself. It took me two evenings and I had a converted Saiga. I'm not the worlds most gifted mechanic/machinest. To say even that, is a liberal use of the phrase! But this was really simple and when I was done, I knew my rifle inside and out and had the satisfaction of knowing I could do stuff like this. I also have a new found respect for the simplicity of the AK-47. It's a brillant and simple design!
-
True! But I do like to clean them every once in a while. I think when I first got mine, I was the first one to actually break it down. I suspect it's previous owner(s) just squirted a little oil in it and shot it.
-
Yes I am and yes I do!
-
I had to have a screwdriver to break mine down to get the reciever apart. That seemed like the least thought out part on the whole gun. I like a toolless takedown. To bad they can't be like ARs and AK, but then again that's probably asking too much for a $250 rifle. Still it was a blast to shoot and I miss it. We needed the money at the time worse than I needed the rifle. I'd love to have one in .45acp. For the Preppers out there, this would be a decent "give away" gun to someone that you felt you needed to arm as well, as would the one of their pistols.

One thing I did NOT like about the carbine, was breaking it down. It's a hemorrhoid to breakdown. Worse than a Ruger Mark II, imo.

Our plan is to stay put, but be ready to move at a moments notice to a location where we have family. The biggest thing we have to worry about is clean water. I have the bathtubs and the water heater the hold upwards of 200 gallons. As for the Power Line R.O.W., that's not a bad idea, but you won't move a lot of stuff that way, just you. Be aware that TVA didn't really worry too much about what the terrain on those looked like. Some of them are steeper than all get out and could be hard to navigate. I would think though, that a power line would be a veritable smorgasbord of eatible small furry animals like birds, rabbits, ground squirrels and other rodents. With some fine nets and some snare wires and a little know how, you could keep yourself fed is need be! Make sure you have some source of carbs to go with all that protein. I've heard great things about the Condor Golok. I think you would be well served with one.

Works for me. My son and I went to see the Grey last week. Language was pretty bad, but nothing kids don't hear at school anymore. But I thoght it was realistic for guys on a construction crew or working on an oil rig. Some parts I thought were stupid though. I don't think there would be a bar like was protrayed, on such a site in Alaska. I thought the movie itself was a bit hokey too.

How appropriate do you think it would be for a teenager? Language isn't much of problem. Skin would be.
