I'd rather give it to Croatia than Ted Kennedy! J/K......... sort of.

I think I saw those on RENO 911!

Yep. good stuff.

If you sight in for 200 yrds the drop on the 6.8 110g is roughly 100-1.4", 200-0", & 300-8.1". Very simliar to the .308 which is one of it's advantages. Your are right on the x39, but the 6.8 is effective out to under 400 yrds although most will say 300 yrds for confidence sake. On the 6.8 forums guys have taken elk out to 250 which is pretty good IMO and well over what is advertised. Also an advantage of the 6.8 is that is is designed for short barrels. You only gain a few ft per sec. with a 20" as opposed to a 16" barrel.

Evidently Iver Johnson started making them under the name Cadet and when Colt took over, Iver Johnson wouldn't release the cadet name. From what I could find it was simply called Colt 22, but most referred to it as the Cadet as to not be so ambiguous.

Yeah, that last quote was very interesting logic.

Regular people don't see any of that money! It stays in Nairobi, or worse Mombasa (which is more Arab than African). Me and my family have spent quite a bit of time there and the political mess is truly a sight to see. Like kids running the playground except less efficient and more ruthless. When I went in 2000 they had just had an election and the incumbent president printed up a couple million Kenyan dollars to pay for votes. Needless to say he won but the exchange rate went from 1:9 to 1:110! Great for us bad for them. BTW - gotta see "Ghost in the Darkness". It's about the lions of Tsavo during the British colonial period in Kenya.

That's how Noth Korea got their nuclear weapons. Bill Clinton sold them the centrifuges and a few other things under the guise they wouldn't make weapons. How long did it take them? Just as long as they could get them operational. The problem with Iran is they are in range of all of Europe and Israel which they have stated numerous times it target one.

I know what you are saying but I have a harder time with the guys like S&W & Ruger etc. selling us out on gun control issues then trying to play patriotic. It didn't really help their bottom line either.

Not many hogs here in TN. Wish there were though. My brother used to go in Mississippi and they used dogs and knives!

The ones that mean the most to me: Marlin Golden trigger lever action .22 and a Savage 30-30 bolt action that was originally my great grandfathers. The .22 was the first gun my dad every took us hunting with and it was mostly for fun and plinking although a lot of squirrels got shot at with it! The 30-30 has been kinda of the family hunting rifle for along long time. I'm guessing my great grandfather got one of the first made when they came out. It has taken a lot of deer and still looks and shoots great. I even have some of the original ammo from the 60's for it.

BTW they don't even qualify for rights under the Geneva convention.

We need a chart with where we can and where we can't carry and when they become effective. My mind hurts just trying to get caught up.

I prefer the QA design myself. Something about that initial trigger set on the AS was odd to me. Wish I could say. Haven't had a chance to get it out yet. If it shoot haalf as good as my previous one, I think I'll like it.

It is justyou. BTW you may want them to check the reactor. It may be leaking close to your water supply.

This is a prime example of the of degradation of US education system.

Yet again i will correct you. Desert Storm was the initial conflict in which we came to the support of a sovereign nation being invaded by Iraq and threatening yet another ally in Saudi Arabia. The conditions of the Iraqi surrender and our subsequent exit from the theater was Iraq's compliance with the terms. Over many years Iraq was found to be in numerous violations of the terms as well as outright defiance of the surrender. The terms also dictated that violation of said terms would result in furter military actions. IMO we waited far too long to bring Saddam into compliance and as such escalated the current effort.

Take them out of the box and dump them in a ammo can.

Uh..... liberal is not a party but an ideology. It transcends parties as does the dissatisfaction most here have with said parties.

HaHa! These things have a way of going all over the place.

She may have assumed the question was coming from an anti POV and she was just placating a customer. That's what managers do.

So far KevinM your arguments against "torture" are BOR, due process, civil rights, constitution.... You do know those don't apply right? Again come down from the ivory tower of arrogance and realize the work in the trenches is not pretty, clean, nor easy. It is arrogant to 1. assume you are superior to others in the realm of humanity and that you are not capable of what they do 2. to assume you are so much more intelligent than the over 4000 yrs of recorded history that shows us what ultimately works in stopping aggressors. Do I want war, torture, killing, crime, bad people? No, but you better believe the reality is they exsist and I'm not going to be polite when I try to stop them. War IS self defense from at least one side. We have not been, nor will we ever be the aggressor! Asking us to not to take every precaution and step to stop the enemy is akin to asking the woman being raped to not fight too hard against her attacker. She just might hurt him in the process and that would just make her as bad as him. Consistency my friends, Consistency. You are mixing civil liberties of US citizens with war zone combatants. Two different games. Two different set of rules.

After looking for over a year for a Walther P99 9mm QA black frame, I finally found one. It wasn't priced too bad either I might add. They are pricey, but when you factor in the back straps, extra mag, & 4 front sights it really isn't so bad. Got it for $649 from Buds. This thing fits like a glove and all the controls feel like they were designed and fit to my hand and taste. I absolutely love it. Of course I did have to sell my awesome G19 to fund this bad boy. Now to find some more 9mm ammo to try the thing out!

Oh, the Ivory tower philosophers. These are the same people who wonder why the cops couldn't have shot the gun out of an assailants arm instead of killing him with "massive" center mass hits. The argument is the same. If we shoot back in kind we are no better than the armed murderer. Again !
