  1.   He was a cop in Keyntuck in the comic (near Lexintgon), but I think in the show he is from a Georgia town. 
  2. I should also add that I get what you are saying OP.  I can't understand heavy British accents very well either.    I remember having to watch "Killer Elites" with subtitles because when Jason Statham and Clive Owen had dialog, they may as well have been speaking Dwarven.
  3. I mentioned this before, but as I recall English folks have an easy time with a southern accent, especially hillbilly.  I am sure there are some english that will disagree with me, but when I was at UT there were folks from the UK visiting East TN all the time to study the local accents as it was a very close relative to their "Elizabethan" era accents.    Of course I may be completely wrong.    The main reason for so many British actors is that they are the best.  They do a lot of classical theatre training over there, as opposed to here, whereas in the U.S. we just put those who happen to be very attractive or connected in movies.   But as to why they don't do put on accents to be easier to understand in interviews...I mean, Madonna and Gweneth Paltrow fake english accents when they are overseas...what do you think of them?  I'd rather them be themselves in interviews, rather than acting.  Hilary and Obama put on black accents when they are speaking to african-american groups...is that attractive?  John Kerry "Can I get me a huntin' license" when he was in the mid-west? 
  4. Lots of good suggestions here.  Some people don't like them but my wife really likes her Sig 250 in 9mm.  You can get one out the door for under $400.  They do have a LONG trigger pull as they are DAO, but it is a smooth trigger.  They can be had full sized, sup compact, or compact because the frames are interchangeable.  We've had 500 or so rounds though it with no malfs of anykind, HP and FMJ.
  5. In this rotten Oconomy, people have more guns than cash, so you can get more "gun" than "cash" for your trade.
  6.   Washboards were around for many years before electricty.  I agree it is pretty clean, but they could have clean clothes, even mascara!
  7. This is quite simple.  Just do as VP Joe Biden says...shoot your double barrel off the back porch.  Or better yet, have your wife do it!
  8. Lol, the Breaking Bad one is even better.
  9. Man...I don't know.  It is a great idea if it weren't for possible training issues under stress.  Its kind of like the Serpa holsters.   A great idea, but unfortunately human beings have to function properly under stress for it not to result in disaster. 
  10. You can shoot 223 through a 5.56 safely.  It just may not be quite as accurate because the bullet is seated a little more deeply, so the bullet has to travel a hair further before it engages the rifling of the barrel.    The risk is going in the other direction.  A 5.56 round in a 223 will possibly touch the rifling when chambered, which will cause higher pressure.  But even then it isn't likley to be a problem. 
  11. Too soon!  It seems like the 90's just happened.  The 80's on the other hand...We need an opening more like "Riptide" or "Hardcastle and McCormick"!
  12. I shoot an FN Scar 17, with a 16 inch barrel 1:10 twist.  I don't know how similar it is to the FNAR barrel, though both guns are made by the same company.  For factory loads, I have never had a 308 that didn't like the Federal Gold Medal Match 168 grn SMK's.  It has shot very well in every 308 I have had.    For handloads, the tightest groups I have had so far is the recipe right on the front of the Varget can:  The same 168SMK's over 46 grains of Varget.    For milsurp...I haven't really tried to shoot many tight groups with surp, though I have shot quite a bit.  147gr seems to be the most common, but heck, even milsurp is usually over $0.80/round now.    What is the twist rate of your barrel?
  13. I don't know why you would buy one new for $530 when you can pick them up used for $600.  People who use Glock 19's only charge like $50 to $100 to ensure the lock pins aren't broken right out of the box and break them in for you.  :)
  14.   I spent a day watching those, and I don't even have a Garand!  The chapter on trigger pull has some of the best info I have ever seen on the subject.  You can use the increasing force trigger technique on any trigger, whether it be 2 stage, 1 stage, match, whatever.    I wonder if they still teach that in the military now?
  15.   I almost got in on that train ride back in 03.  Glad I passed.  I heard that rather than delivering them to those who had long ago paid for them in advance, they were selling them to new buyers.  That would have really torqued me.
  16. He, who should have never been born, has died.
  17.   That was a beautiful movie.  I still get teared up at the final charge.  The allegory of time-honored tradition instantly made obsolete...so painful.     Back on topic.  The saying is to beware the man who has only one gun, because he knows how to use it.  That being the case, there is nothing about me to fear =P
  18. C'mon...that girl is not what Bubba brings home when he goes hoggin'!  Where is the stain on her dress?
  19.   They go dormant in the absence of stimuli.  Again, a fairly common zombie apoc trope. 
  20. Most pop culture has stated that the reason they don't rot as fast is because the virus alters the genetics in such as way to make them resistant to bacteria.  Yeah, I know.   Also, Day by Day explains they do rot relatively quickly, the problem is really the irradiated ones because in that world the big cities were nuked...so the zombies from the radiated areas don't decay hardly at all.   But again I say...WTF is up with gun registration in Rick's hometown?
  21.   J.L. Bournes' Day By Day series addresses that quite well.
  22. How did that backpacker survive for the previous year?    The biggest WTF in last night's episode was Rick's having signed off on the registration of those guns they went looking for.
  23.   The $469 lower was an ATI Omni polymer lower at that.  The Palmetto State aluminum lower on the same table was about $600 IIRC.  Also saw a guy outside selling his Mini 14 for "not a penny less" than $2000.  At least it wasn't tactical.  Looked stock as a clock. 
  24. It was pretty solid. I will be tuning in regularly for it.    Last night was a whirlwind, The Bible on History from 8-10, DVR'd TWD (to the wife's chagrin), then Vikings from 10-11, and went back to watch TWD at 11p.  Too much shit going on Sunday nights.
