The Col. was given plenty of recognition ....by his soldiers and buddies.....it is the Army way of life. He did his job, an excellent job, and was awarded time and again from those that "get it". My Dad is the same way.....

Damn fine soldier he.......

Oh man....watching that was.......... a real blast!!!!   :rock:  :usa:

As far as the chambering goes...it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I had a Remmy 1100 years ago and really did not like being restricted to 2 3/4 inch shells. My Winnie 1300 takes up to 3 inch shells and it is nice to switch from 2 3/4" for skeet and small game to 3" for ducks and geese. JMHO......

lots of fog  ut no frost just yet.....cool, chilly morning...... :up:

Interesting how the BBC reported the information/allegation first......

There are many facets to this discussion and to the broader subject of topics that we, as adults, feel passionate about. I look at the "LE threads" with a critical eye for whatever details are known and are proven true. When the Boston bombing happened, I was appaled at the military approach/vehicles/tactics involved because it reminded me of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Both happened outside TN but affect us here, should we not discuss those events? Of course we should. Do we call for the participating LE agency members heads on pikes? Of course not. I do not paint LE with any broad brush, as that treatment was metted out to my beloved Army during/after Vietnam, but the abuses of the "few" are becoming more and more commonplace across the country. We live in a well connected, communication society. Perceived slights/abuse/brutality are in the " instant upload to social media" arena. I believe it would be a dis-service to squelch or appear to censor discussion of events from outside the state borders. We are adults and gentlemen. The trolls and trouble makers should not be given a platform to stir the sh*t pot or, by their existence, prevent us from genuine discourse.  It has been stated in previous posts that we police ourselves. I ask the Moderators to continue to moderate yet allow honest discussion. Gentlemen, I thank you for your efforts on this board. I quite enjoy reading, disagreeing and sharing with those of like mind and spirit and I hope that it continues unabated.

The best way to defeat this new technology .......don't use it. The surveillance is voluntary (at this point) and the catch/hook is the golly-gee-wizz-bang of the device. The new cars are computer hackable (I have an older vehicle) the new mega size TVs have video cameras installed (mine is 8 years old,works fine) and the phones are being monitored by .gov (known that for years, still have my flip phone)......I refuse to participate in the voluntary gathering/mining of what my life choices are.....that's also why I have curtains on my windows.

That dog can fly!!!

We have one in Elizabethton and my wife and I were grinning from ear to ear the evening we went. The sights,sounds,smells and memories flooded back from when we were kids. The line was about 50 cars long to get in but well worth the time as we people watched. Kids never really change when they are allowed to play and run...they were half of the entertainment! I dare say you were in a line of memory minded folk out for a nice evening....very normal indeed. :usa:

I had other stuff to get at Midway so shipping hurt less but I did get a brick for my wife's new Henry.......

The Replacements and Field of Dreams are my all time favorites......

I would expect you to be Johnny on the Spot and beat me to the draw by a knife's edge......kinda keen don't cha think...... :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

They sound like a ticked off helicopter in attack mode.....Florida is full of them.....state bird actually..... :rofl:

I did not realize this thread was over a year old..... :stunned:

A question along those lines.....as far as .308 brass goes, what is the max OAL that will chamber safely? My book gives an AOL of 2.015......would 2.040 be too long? I can't find my Dillon case guide so I thought I'd ask here.

Most of us are older than Star Wars toys.......

  " Being able to kayak on these same rivers during the summer, wearing nothing but a lifejacket is AWESOME! "   Not a visual I needed...thank you very much!!!!    :stunned:  :stunned:  :stunned:      :rofl:

Just be glad you don't live in Florida.....rains like this almost every day between March and October...not to mention hurricanes, mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds, gators in the lakes and the ever present humidity! East Tennessee is heaven....so glad the Mrs. and I moved north into God's country!

I have a TZ 75 from Tanfoglio and I will not sell it! It has excellent balance, shoots like a dream, is very accurate and all steel. I have had it for at least 10 years and it still is my "go to" 9mm.........EAA makes great pistols as well.....just my :2cents:  

soap box.....ballot box....ammo box......just sayin...... :cool:

A pics would really help to identify them.........
