I'm a cigarette smoker normally. I have a pipe Ive smoked from time to time but I have a problem with pipe bite aka my tounge burning/hurting. Any tips on how to get away from it? Ill post a picture when I can. I am a part time cigar guy, and plan to order some Clints when I get straightened out financially. http://www.clintscigars.com Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Id add in jumper cables or even better, a boost box. A decent tool kit with wrenches, ratchet and sockets etc. I keep a head lamp and a good flashlight in the truck. I also keep spare socks, boots and rain gear. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

When's this "polar vortex" supposed to hit?[/quote] Supposed to get colder all night and all day tomorrow. High tomorrow is 13 and the low is -1. Oh well.

[quote name="carter" post="1089622" timestamp="1388940136"] and yes...have you seen the REAL pictures of the duck commander crew before they got a TV show? ya, no beards [/quote] They once said they used to grow their beards out for duck season then shave then off later. So they have always grown beards, just not all year like they do now. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I had a CETME .308 and traded it for a tuned Federal ordinance M14. You'll be happy with either one, but the m14 iron sights are probably the best ever put on a battle rifle. And they are a ton of fun to shoot as well as being easier on brass than the g3/cetme. If your a reloader, buy steel case for your G3. If you ever find the brass it'll be screwed anyways Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Even if we do risk losing everything, why on earth should I chose to email my intentions to someone who I don't know? I am one of the most outgoing people on this site, hosting meets, get togethers and camp outs. I have networked and made preparations. Why would I risk all of that, all the friends and contacts, the plans and preparations by emailing an unknown entity at a yahoo address. If you wanna be taken seriously come out to a few of our shoots that members hold, shake some hands, drink some coffee, meet some people. That'll get you a lot farther than a first post full of fiery words. I am generally distrustful of people on the Internet. These kinds of things do much better to be discussed in person akong trusted individuals Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I will say that it was freezing out there today. And in all I think I sighted in 3 AR's, 3 bolt guns, and a 742 carbine. The PA red dot was easy to dial in with postive clicks that made adjustment a snap. The 3 MOA dot was easy to see when turned up to around 9, out of 11, even in the bright sun with snow on the ground. It held a good zero at 50 yds, was clearly labeled for adjustment and worked well even when stepped out to 150 yds. It seemed very overbuilt for the price, and had zero issues all day. I look forward to Jeffs long term review, but I think its a winner, especially for the money. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

All of them. They were all in common usage when I was in the Marines from 07-12. One I love thats not on there is "RFI, cause I don't fly" RFI means an aircraft or component is ready for issue, and therefore should be safe to fly, and we used to make that statement when we were working I level maintenance or ground crew. Talk about pissing off a pilot lol.

[quote name="Wiljo05" post="1088432" timestamp="1388753822"]You are correct. A lot of folks don't know what T shot is, so the reference to buck shot was for similarity. Good call for clarification! For those that haven't seen T Shot, it's 2 sizes smaller than No. 4 buck, and bigger than BBB Shot. It works great, and is usually cheaper than heavy shot or the coyote specific shells[/quote] I'll look into that. I love the heavi-shot dead coyote, but man is it high dollar. The last 4 or 5 coyotes I've killed have been between my backdoor and the barn with a rifle. We have a serious issue with them down here. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="Dolomite_supafly" post="1087607" timestamp="1388613030"]You can shorten and do a crown without removing the barrel. You MUST remove the barrel to thread it.[/quote] Yeah I knew I would have to remove it to thread it. But if I do it with the socom gas block I wouldn't need to thread it as it just threads on in place of the factory one. I would just replace the gas plug with the SOCOM 16 which is shorter but has more volume. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="tnguy" post="1087550" timestamp="1388604907"]Oh, it just occurs to me... With respect to the title of this thread, cops are civilians too.[/quote] Well, they are civil servants. They are civilians in the military sense to a point, but even overseas we had 3 groups. U.S military, foreign military and police, and civilians. I don't view them as civilians because right or wrong, they have different rules that govern their conduct and what they are allowed to do. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Id be down. Id have to find a wheel gun and a lever gun, since I dont think an M14 and 1911 are gonna count lol. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

If I can figure out how to do a nice crown with the barrel in the action then I think this will be simple. They sell a gas lock that is thread for a compensator. Do all you do is remove the old one, chop the barrel at the gas lock threads, crown it, and screw this gas lock on, then screw your compensator on. http://www.fulton-armory.com/gas-cylinder-lock-with-dovetail-for-m14-m1a-socom-16.aspx Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="Dolomite_supafly" post="1087027" timestamp="1388525788"]Chrome lining in a barrel isn't like chrome lining on a bumper. I have personally never seen a barrel have the lining chip out. To properly thread a barrel it must be removed from the receiver anyways.[/quote] Yeah I had planned on it pulling it and using a friend machine shop to do the work since I have access. The SOCOM uses a different gas plug and a couple of other things, but nobody seems tonbe able to decide if its needed or not. Gas port is behind the 16" mark. Most of what I'm hearing says it will probably run fine. I'm already on there and have already asked. I just like to get as many opinons as possible. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="enfield" post="1087067" timestamp="1388532878"]I cut only by necessity, but I have a Stihl saw, a timberjack and a cant hook, along with a pickaroon. Outside of saws, good logging tools are getting hard to find. Getting too old for this crap![/quote] You ain't kidding. My old mans got several god canthooks, log tongs, etc. You can't find decent ones anymore for less than an arm and a leg. Hell, you can't find a decent axe for less than $100 anymore Tapatalk ate my spelling. -

If your looking for a slightly smaller saw I would reccomend the Husky 365 xp or the 550 xp. Both are great saws and professional grade. For a home owner saw I love the Husky 455 and 460 Ranchers. Plenty of power, and not stupid heavy. But I am a huge Husqvarna fan anyways so that helps lol. Id say for what you do a semi-chiesel chain would be the ticket. They just perform better in overall conditions and all you give up is a little speed to a full chiesel. A safety chain is never gonna cut like a good sharp semi or full chiesel.

[quote name="bigtruuck" post="1087021" timestamp="1388524771"]my big saw is my husky 385 xp with a 36" bar, but most of the time it wears a 24". love cutting mostly for time in spent in the woods.[/quote] My 3120 xp wears a 20" 98% of the time anymore. We have a 36" just don't run into much need for it. Tapatalk ate my spelling. -

I don't use one, but its personal preference. They are much slower about bucking. I use a semi-chiesel chain on everything except ripping with the alaskan mill. Here is why. Quoted from wiki Full chisel chain has a square cornered tooth, splitting wood fibers easily in the cut for fast, efficient cutting in clean softwood. Semi-chisel chain has a rounded working corner formed by a radius between the top and side plates. While slower than full chisel in softwood, it retains an acceptable cutting sharpness longer, making it the preferred choice for dirtier wood, hard or dry wood, frozen wood or stump work, all of which would rapidly degrade full chisel chain.

I have been giving serious though to rebarreling my Fed. Ordinance M14 to a 16" barrel to make it handier. I already know the pros and cons of velocity loss, my biggest question is how to go about doing it. Seems I have 3 options. Purchase a Smith Enterprise 16" barrel that I'm waiting on a price quote for nd have them install it for a fee of $75 since their barrels come short chambered and must be reamed on installation Purchase a Fulton Armory 16" barrel for $270 and install it at the shop I work at. Cut my current barrel and recrown and thread it for a compensator. My worry with this is my barrel is chrome lined and I don't want the chrome chipping out. Is this a valid concern? Any opinions welcome. I do understand the cons of this mod, mainly more noise and less velocity. But it being able to fit behind my truck seats and being handier in the woods makes up for this for me. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1085995" timestamp="1388349426"]I would have asked the same question I ask any time someone implies they are a cop (LEO, works in LE, all those other nonsense statements). “Are you a Police Officer?†That’s a yes or no answer and since he is asking to check your weapon the wrong answer should get him an impersonating charge.[/quote] This is what I should have done, and if it ever happens again or anything similar happens Ill make sure to ask them very plainly Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I used a groupon thing and bought a $250 package from LA smoke for $30 last year. Its alright, but I still smoke. They don't have the taste of a cigarette, not really, and they just didn't work for me. The filters also don't last like they claim if your a heavy smoker especially.
