  1. Guys this is one of the reasons I have no NRA, Mossy Oak or any other sticker or tag on my vehicles that say I hunt, shoot, fish, or whatever. I guess I need to put a golfing sticker on to make them leave me alone. I have heard that thugs see you driving with all the "gun" stickers on and follow you to work or home and know you have something worth stealing. Spots you handled it well and being aware of your surroundings is crucial.
  2. Hey Rugerla 1 I said that line once and a welder that I didn't know told me. " I think you got screwed on both counts". I told him he didn't have to be so honest!!
  3. If I were a betting man I would wager that most of the Wally World .22 ammo is getting sold to LGS's who then jack up the prices.
  4. Got a friend in Florida told me his gun shop got a half a million dollar order in and guess what NO 22lr. I got him a brick for starters anyway.
  5. Prayer sent for him and your family.
  6. Sorry Glock55 but for certain you would have to change that name! LOL Shoot I have to be good to my kids and grandkids so they will take care of my sorry but when I sure enough get old.My oldest grandson is getting a camo Ruger 10-22 that is sure to get me a few brownie points.
  7. The story I got from the guy is a friend won it in a raffle and sold it to him so I am pretty sure it is a factory gun. Hey Runco, if I was an expert I wouldn't be asking ya'lls advice. LOL On some things I just like another opinion as I have been stuck in the past and it never feels real good to find out later. Thanks Mac
  8. Hi guys, I am going to buy my adult son an AR for Christmas. I had planned on a new S&W M&P but ran across a local deal of a used Bushmaster XM-15E2S flattop that has collapsible stock, leapers red dot, aftermarket handguards, foregrip with light and maybe bipod, sling and 3 mags. Also included in deal is 400 rounds of PMC Bronze ammo and 220 rounds of Wolf steel cased. He is asking $1,000 and although I think it is a good deal I am having a hard time deciding. I want your opinion so I don't have buyers remorse, or better yet I can put part of the blame on you. LOL Thanks Mac Also does anyone know how to check an upper to see what brand it is or anything, most I see don't have any marking.
  9. The moral to this story my friends is to live far enough in the woods that "you" are 911!! There is a war on drugs like I am a brain surgeon. But I can stop the drug problem real quick. 2 forms of punishment, caning and hanging. If the first punishment doesn't FIX the problem the 2nd one will. No prisons, just small local jails. It will work, but the mamby pamby ACLU and such wouldn't hear of such brutal forms of punishment, and here we are.
  10. Well I may as well chime in. I too wanted a Kel-tec, and this was a couple of years back. Well saw one on GB and called the guy and asked is this a pos or what. He said he had a 9mm and it was his most fun gun to shoot. I bought a 4095  .40 cal and it is a blast. I sighted it in at 50 yards and I was happy, then 1 day I decided to shoot it at 100 yds, this is with my cast bullet plinking reloads. They will headshoot an IPSC target at 100yds. and that is good enough for me. I would prefer a higher cap mag, but I can live with 10. I also torture tested this out of the box, I didn't clean or lube it and shot 100 rounds with no malfunction. Before you berate them, go borrow one from a friend and I bet you will buy one.
  11. Hi guys saw some cheap priced AR's and wonder if anyone has heard of them? Thanks Mac
  12. I don't think it is a localized thing. I live in S.E. Mississippi and this whole year I saw 22lr and 22wmr at a wally world the day before Thanksgiving with a limit of 1 box per caliber 3 box total limit. We have regular pistol and rifle ammo most of the time. I saw and bought 3 boxes of cheap thunderbolts at $29 tax included in Alabama in May, the lady at Wally world said it was their 1st shipment of bulk 22 for the year. It ain't over not by a long shot. It wouldn't surprise me if it took 3-5 years for it to come back around. I hope I am wrong.
  13. How about 4 track tapes that was pre 8-track, my wife was a keypunch operator, the #3 washtub on the back porch was our Hot tub, going to the Western Auto and buying a box of 22 shorts for $0.29 and I was 9 and no-one questioned that. The way I heard the balls floating in the bathtub was if they floated like a cork you couldn't get the job done anymore. That is the family version of it anyway. I prefer my dimmer switch on the floor and the starter button on the floor also. I also prefer a POTUS and congress that gave a crap about this beautiful country.
  14. Thank you LORD!! Great news TDR, hope all is well. Will continue to pray for your family.
  15. Hey guys I work with chemicals everyday. A warning against any drum or tote is to be perfectly certain that it was used with a  food grade product, I would need to see a label and a MSDS before I used it for water to drink. I asked our supplier the other day how much a bottle that is the plastic container inside the cage cost and it was $95 new however it was not rated as for potable drinking water, the materials are FDA compliant but he said the grease that was used on the valve wasn't so they couldn't be listed as good for potable water. Also plastic HDPE type that drums, pails and totes are made of are porous and if any "bad" stuff has been in them it could leach out for years. Please be careful with used containers. I plan on having some under my gutter I will install on my barn, but use the water for garden if needed. Stay safe!!
  16. WW I know a lot of people think EMP, and nukes and every other possible scenario, but the collapse of our economy is what I believe will bring back to the 1800's real quick. I mean there is only so long you can keep printing worthless paper money and eventually Russia and China will figure out how to get the Dollar out of the loop as currency to buy oil, when the U.S. loses that 1 thing we are history. That is the shoe I am watching to drop. I don't know if I shared it here or not, but I saw on Fox news scroll across bottom about 3-4 weeks ago saying the Feds were telling the banks to keep extra amounts of cash on hand for a situation. The big banks were asked to keep 30-45 day supply and the smaller ones 2 weeks. Never before in my 61 years have I heard such as this. Keep your eyes and ears open guys I don't know how long these props can keep us going. God Speed and wishing ya'll a Blessed Thanksgiving. Even with all the ^%ap going on here I don't want to be anywhere else on this planet.
  17. I do not condone any drug or other law breaking, but come on now. He needs to get a really good lawyer that wants to make a name for himself/herself keeping this politically correct. Mike .357 I had my 2012 F-150 for a few months before a buddy told me about the under console hidey hole. And Dane that hidey hole ain't near about big enough to put all the spare parts to keep a Ford a runnin!! You know Ford used to have a commercial about 98% of all Fords built were still on the road, they weren't lyin, I see them beside the road every day!! On a cool quiet evening you can hear them Fords a rustin, kind of warms your heart ya know. Just funnin ya'll I have a F-150 and a Yukon so I am playing both sides, looking to buy a Jeep so I can have something running some of the time.
  18. Good gun prices are coming down, now if we can get the 22 ammo back on the shelves at a reasonable price life would be better. Probably wait 5 years for that to happen if it ever does!!
  19. The thing a lot of people don't realize about a rebuilt title on a vehicle is that most insurance companies won't give you much if any coverage as the value of the vehicle is hard to put a figure on. I found a great looking Jeep near Memphis and wanted it bad until I saw the ad said rebuilt title. Also if you ever go to sell or trade it this will come up and be harder for you to sell or trade. I think you did the right thing.
  20. I wouldn't believe him if he said it was dark outside, I would go and see for myself.
  21. WW you need to quit your day job and become a full time paid writer. Love the story!! Keep it up.
  22. We have our fair share here in Ms. I killed one about 10 years ago while muzzleload hunting, he had been making noise in the leaves for a couple of hours and right before dark I blasted him with a .50 cal. Lets just say he quit russling around in them leaves. LOL!!
  23. Timestepper, I thought POTUS would be the better choice for him. He's got the balls to get something done and I have a feeling maybe something with some good ol country common sense.
  24. Thanks to all, Leroy I liked the link now I need to see if any is local.
  25. Hi guys got a question for ya. I have seen several black wooden fences and am wondering if people are using burnt motor oil on them or are they painting them a flat or matte finish black paint? Anybody done this?? I think they look so much better than the natural or white wooden fences especially a few years down the road. Thanks Mac
