Oh Shoot

  Oh, you didn't mention needing to change barrel nut, figgered that rail used existing one, I don't know them by name.  You can cut Delta assembly off.   - OS

  All that's available from my Mom's unless I want to pay for broadband to use only 6 weeks out of the year.   - OS

  Not mine, just a nice example.   'Course, they don't have to look "nice" at all, assuming they'll be under the handguard.   - OS

  Oopsie. I'm on dialup for a week so didn't click on link. Thnx.   - OS

As of maybe 5-6 years ago, most of 580 series and all later ones improved with better rear site, integrated scope mounts (Ruger style rings only), and barrel profile. Should eat everything with factory mags, mine do.   Head of coyote at 200, probably, with consistent ammo.  Mine do maybe 5-6" spread with Russian steel, out of 10 shots about half will be close, half won't be.  Never really settled in with good ammo to shoot for groups but I'm sure it'll do a lot better than that without special tweaks.   I was just settling into my Minis when I got the AR  bug, so they kind of got sidelined. Really like them though, need to give them more attention. Comes way overgassed, brass goes to next zip code. :)   - OS

Cut and dremel the A2 down? Nothing's more secure than a pinned gas block.

Wow, the perp, 24, had broken into a home in Holston Hills when he was 14, held couple, shot the husband, tried to burn down the house. Convicted of attempted 2nd degree murder, aggravated assault, and kidnapping. They put him in therapy confinement instead of prison. There's tape of the husband after the trial prophetically saying "how are they gonna feel when he gets out at 18 and kills somebody". Apparently they did let him out about then, and he spent 5 years in prison in KY for something else nasty before once again gracing us with his presence: http://www.wbir.com/story/news/2015/05/03/police-investigate-stabbing-on-third-creek-greenway/26849377/ Still no word on the relationship or motive, victim was 42: When I walked by that entrance around 4, there was a mob of cops still. Seems it was an effort to assure everyone that the greenways are safe, as per Her Commie Honor and our PD Chief. They wuz all gone when I walked back by sometime after 8. - OS

Still kicking as of today. :)   Anyone who doesn't know "Scruffy Little City" is a whippersnapper. :)   - OS

  Should it not feed reliably almost certainly the mag, quite thin steel. Tweak the lips closer together usually fixes it. Rounds must angle upward in the mag.   - OS

Speaking of the actual events, I've heard the usual revolving clap trap of erroneous firearm terminology stuff.   Mostly I've heard they had automatic AKs. (probably weren't, right?) Also, that the traffic cop used his "service revolver" (probably not, right?)   Also that he only fired two shots, both headshots?   Also that the cop was shot in the foot before opening fire, but also that it was actually an officer standing next to him that was shot in the foot.   I love the media.   - OS

Well, "Dustin" ain't right on the money either:     There are no restrictions/requirements regarding the transportation of hand guns or long guns in TN.     Comment makes no sense, as again, there are no requirements for transport of any firearm (other than one must not be prohibited from possession by law).   Of course his intent is well taken, but best to be completely accurate about firearm laws yourself if you're ranting about inaccurate coverage of them. :)   - OS

  I think it's in the same vein as "locks keep the honest people out". An adage which has more than just a kernel of truth.   - OS

  I don't think there have been more than a handful of actual murders in the entire park/greenway system in Knoxville history. Any number of rapes and assaults of course, just like all over the rest of the city.   But yeah, that little parking area right there at that leg of the Third Creek Greenway access has a history of scuzzy stuff going on. Good place for creeps to park and just ogle chicks in running outfits if nothing else. Cops regularly pull in there and linger waiting on next call, though, and it's not like it's hidden or anything, right next to the sidewalk/road.   - OS

From West High to Tyson Park, Third Creek Greenway splits two worlds, vast diff tween the Kingston Pike and Sutherland borders. That said, the Sutherland side is my turf, and in years of walking around the area, often after dark, no probs, and only one iffy feeling situation at all in all that time.   Then again, I walk right through heart of Mechanicsville area too, (University/Western/5th Ave) frequently also to wind up at Y off Magnolia at Jessamine (will be doing that today matter of fact). A lot of folks wouldn't do that without armed column support I'm sure :),  but I figure I'm in the same ballpark of as dangerous as anyone else I'll encounter.   - OS

I put this in this forum because of the new statute allowing carry here. Actually, it's been legal for a year, although that seems to be news to our mayor and chief of police, and that's another story not relevant now anyway.   This is the section I traverse frequently and I guess this lady wasn't packing. Sounds like they may have the perp. Course, dunno yet if it was random or whether they knew each other or what, we'll see. I imagine some media will blame it on our open knife laws now since they can't blame a gun.   http://www.knoxnews.com/news/watchful-eye/kpd-woman-dead-in-stabbing-attack-on-third-creek-greenway_33505239   http://wate.com/2015/05/03/police-investigate-stabbing-on-a-knox-county-greenway/   - OS

  Oh, so NY and MD were in charge of the shell databases then. The gun companies simply had to supply the fired casing, and the FFL I guess was to remove it from package and send it in upon selling the gun. That makes more "sense". - OS

Oopsie, wrong thread somehow or other...

True single action 9 mm :) : - OS

Take a Gander at  almost 11 cents a round. Not moi.   - OS

  Taurus Tracker, Ruger Single Six,  Smith 647. None are petite. ;)   - OS

  Well, by all means just call Buck first, they're known to do some remarkable things in customer service. Long story, but they actually did a custom config on a Vantage for me a couple of years ago for nothing.   - OS

Buck said they wouldn't fix it even if you supply the blade?   You can pm/email Joe Houser through bladeforums.com. (buck forum mod, and Buck CR Director).   Or maybe just post there to shame them into doing it. :)   - OS

Huge difference really, didn't realize just how much. Thanks for digging them up for the pix. - OS

  I think they're hoping for this kind of math from folks. ;)   (it costs 12.50 per year to maintain an HCP)   - OS

  I wager she's overreached, unless can get super duper OJ type biased juries in each case.   Actually, I bet even money some if not most will have charges dropped or at worst plead to much lesser charges as the stories get closer to the truth and consolidate.   - OS
