See my post above. If you are going to use the "form" let folks know up front. Most guys i know if you show up with one of those you will leave disappointed and they will leave a little more than perturbed.It offers no protection and is the legal equivalent of an HCP badge.

Just do a search and you will find intense feelings about the "form". Just sayin.

You'll feel even dumber if you use it.

They work so well, they will even work by themselves sometimes!

Just curious how they do post production melonite. My understanding is the salt nitride bath had to be done prior to heat treating. If that is the case is there a difference between normal melonite and melonite refinishing?

I've had two different 5.56 uppers and two 6.8. I really like the 6.8 for the added versatility. I can hunt everything the 5.56 can and add some of the bigger game as well. When I got my first 6.8 (Ko-tonics) ammo prices were quite a bit higher and made it hard to justify. I ended up selling that one (wish I hadn't). Nowadays it is much more reasonable, especially considering the rise in prices of everything else. Silver State is also about to release some "plinking" rounds that are going to make it even better to shoot the 6.8. My suggestion would be to keep the 5.56 upper and just get a 6.8 upper. There are a couple of new custom builders doing really good builds for reasonable prices - Bison Armory and Titan Armory. Check out the 6.8 forum as well.

Actually Tennifer is a trade name for melonite. Good stuff and it looks good on your gun. I'm glad they are finally doing post production meloniting.

I've had a Dual Carry and it is an excellent all leather choice. If I were going with a hybrid I would go with the Bluegrass.

Old "story". Put in the US concentration camps, Skull and Bones, Free Mason, etc mysticism tin foil category.

Almost every place that does HCP that i know of will do Armed Security Guard. Just ask.

are you media blasting them down to take off the original finish or just going over the top of the old finish? Reason I ask, is if it matters or is there an adhesion issue with the old finish still on it.

Looking for some new grips for the .40 Hi-Power. I've had some really nice wood grips in cocobolo (current) and some beautiful Celtic cross ivory wood grips from Esmeralda (NICE! ask Magic!), so I'm looking for something more practical this time. Currently looks like this: here are the choices: 1. VZ Pro Slims 2. VZ Diamond Back 3. Alumagrips - color?

I wouldn't worry about a lock if it's hidden. I personally am going with this. If it needs to be secured a simple chain lock will work. Plus if I have to take it with me it works equally well. Amazon.com: Molle SHOTGUN SCABBARD Universal Mount Sling--TAN: Sports & Outdoors

Maks are great inexpensive (Russian and E German excluded) pocket pistols. The trigger pull can be reduced through springs and the round is pretty good. Plus you can change barrels and make it a .380. They are rock solid pistols. As has been said the p64 is NOT a Makarov. It is more akin to a PPK clone, although internals are a little different. That being said I prefer the P64 to a Mak due to size and asthetics. The Makarov site is a very good resource.

according to the last DHS memo weren't Christians, right to life, conservatives, and tea party protesters on the watch out list?

Well, I learn something new everyday. Were they Canadian imports?

Yellowstone is pretty good. If you get a little more time go on up to Glacier NP! Absolutely beautiful and not near the traffic.

When were they ever available? I think you may be confusing the the TAVOR with the AUG. BTW - this would truly be awesome if CD can pull it off!

Eh, the other guy is about the same. I do think it buys time which is always a good thing. I also think the destabilization of the current structure is also a good thing. As justme pointed out Iran had been historically fairly civil - until the "revolution". Since then they have quietly been one of the largest funders of weapons and money to Hesbollah, terroist, etc. against Israel and the world. A little instability might be a good thing if it allows the Iranian people to get back on the good track.

When I was looking into it, I couldn't really beat the price of plinking 9mm and since I can't just buy the bullets of the HP I wanted it made more sense to just get my practice stuff at Walmart. I think it would have saved me a cent or two a round reloading. Now that I finally got my 6.8 AR build up I will definitely start loading for that and 9mm now that the cost is spread out. I guess my point is on 9mm or say .22 it's hard to justify buying all the equipment to not really save anything for a long time. With .40 and up or specialty stuff it makes a whole lot more sense.

Yeah, 99.7 till 11 then it's 1510 AM for Limbaugh. After that it's kinda of a toss up. I hate that they put Thompson up against Limbaugh though. I really like him.

Under 200 yrds!

The hardest part is finding a place to go. I usually run into folks, mainly at church, who hunt and they let me go on their land or lease. Other than that use something bigger than .22 and sit and wait.

I got one of those gen1 Bushnell monoculars from Sams awhile back. Pretty neat. No gun mounted stuff though. I use mine for seeing whats in the yard before I light it up with my flashlight or BB gun! Beware dogs and cats.

One instance in the face of a WMD threat at the outbreak of war? Yeah, that was so over the top. Iraq had threatened WMD's and conversely had sent scuds towards Israel. To be on alert is routine in that instance. Come on DaveTN you know better than that. If I'm not mistaken it was Isreal that sent a lone plane in to bomb Iraq's nuclear facility to avoid an upscale war prior to 1991. I might mention that it was a success. Israel has been more than accomodating in avoiding conflict. However, if some one insist they TCB.
