  1. I'm saddened that my first reaction is anger that this will be used as a political event. :down:    "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Rahm Emanuel
  2. Because, they couldn't figure out the semi-auto .357. (I know they tried, but they couldn't get them to work reliably.)    I know that's a bit simplistic but I have always viewed the 10mm as the .357 semi-auto counterpart. It incorporates the best (capacity, velocity, and mass) of the major SA calibers (9mm/.45 Auto) in a single caliber. On the other hand the .40 is just the opposite. It gets the some of the capacity of a 9mm and some of the stopping power of the 9mm and .45, but not the best parts of either of the other major calibers. :stir:
  3. I think that's the entirety of the point.
  4. Watched regular tv this week during thanksgiving, and what a pain just to sit through all the commercials. Not to mention having to channel surf again. I have been spoiled by my Roku's and Netflix/Hulu. I also like the fact, as the article started, I'm not supporting a bunch of networks that are actively campaigning against everything I believe.
  5. I struggled with the same question awhile back. I have two currently. One is a FN Hi-Power I had bought a while back then sold because I didn't know better. Finally, was able to get it back and it is one my kids will get. It's a nice specimen but it's the story that goes with it that's most important. Secondly is a Rossi M92 that my dad engraved the receiver. I added some nice walnut stocks to finish it. Not a high dollar gun but now it has a family touch and history that gets passed down as well. To me heirlooms are as much about the story as the gun. My dad has his dad's Savage 110 30-30 bolt action bought in the early 50's? That gun while holding little monetary value will never leave my family. It's one of the few things my dad has of his dad. My grandfather died from an aneurysm at 35. My dad was only 5. Look for a gun with a story. Even if it's not entirely yours. Older pic with original wood.
  6. This is an interesting look at how big of a business universities are. The largest employers in nearly every state, with a few exceptions, are either Walmart or a university.  http://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/03/19/the-largest-employer-in-each-state-2/2/
  7. If that's the case, like DS said - one screwdriver and you are done. Pick the stock and grip of your choice and put them on.    Now if you want an under folder, then yeah, you will need someone to cut the receiver/trunnion mounting holes or change the rear trunion and then cut the receiver.
  8.   Kel-Tec makes two. The polymer version is real cheap and then they have the aluminum version which is what I always get. AL version $27 - SKU# SU16B-365 Polymer versions $3 SKU# SU16-230
  9. I'm a big fan of the TWS and the minute they released it for the M92, I got one. I have them on all my other AK's. Much better than the stock m92 cover. Get Kel-Tecs peep sight for the SU-16. Windage adjustable and half the cost of the TWS. It also co witnesses (lower 1/3) with some optics. I run mine with a Burris FastFire III.
  10. I adopted disk brakes early. At the time Hayes HFX were about it. I ran HFX-1s. Magura's were very pricey and Avid had mechanicals. However, then 29ers were a passing fad that had just been experimented with. [emoji3] This was 1998-99. The 29's are definitely different than 26's. I was also surprised how much travel bikes are getting. I remember 120mm front or back being very much free ride territory and close to downhill range. Now, it's barely out of the cross country range.
  11. Yeah, I forgot how much fun riding a bike was .... and how hard it was!    I refuse to run or walk for exercise. It's just plain painful and boring, but I love riding a bike! Makes me feel like a kid again.
  12. So, many years ago I briefly did some grassroots Mt. bike racing for KHS. Didn't amount to much except I really enjoyed it and they gave me a lot of cool stuff. Kids came along and couldn't find time for the bikes, races, and spandex anymore. Well, the kids are getting to the age where they can ride with me now, so I decided to jump back in. WOW how technology changed! Most of what is normal low end now, was super high end unobtanium back in the day. Mind you I started when full suspension was in its infancy and disc brakes were controversial. Anyway, loving my new Breezer Supercell (Expert). As my birthday approaches Monday, I'm confronted with the reality that I didn't get younger but I got a lot fatter and more out of shape!! Love riding the trails once again. Debated going road, but I stuck with my roots. Just love the woods much better than dodging traffic. Plus, a clydesdale on a road bike and spandex just looks SOOO wrong ;) (Stock photo) I did swap the triple crank rings for a Race Face NW 32 single, new Continental X-King tires, and a tubeless setup. Other than that, I think I'm done with the mods.
  13. Haha, do you own homework. :) It's been too long ago and I don't care.    My original point was that the military and Feds tend to choose calibers based on certain criteria that is questionable at best. That leads me to believe that it's not about the so-called data as they claim and cite, but other things that they are afraid to admit, like cost, contracts, etc. I simply pointed out the Feds switched from 9mm to .40 based on the Miami shootout "data" and are now switching back based on some new "data". I think both are red herrings. Evidently the Feds get caught up in the caliber war "data" just like forum posters do.
  14. Yeah, read the military reports from when they adopted 9mm. It's one of the reasons they cited the 9mm. I should have said penetrates armor better than x and penetrates armor, glass, and metal better than x. No handgun caliber will penetrate modern II or III body armor, but that is not what was being discussed when the military adopted the 9mm, which was the context of the OP and my response.
  15. So messed up. The Miami shootout was based on .38 spl and the .40 is a notoriously poor body armor penetrator. 9mm on the other hand has always penetrated body armor and light armor, which is why the military uses it for their side arms ammo. Typical government ignorance and misinformation they use to make decisions.
  16. Yeager's tactics in a gun fight are well documented by the bodies of his former crew. I would tread lightly if I were him about going after anyone else's credentials. Whatever kind of instructor he may be, his credentials also speak for themselves. I don't know why he constantly has to try to prop himself up as the end all be all when his history is very well documented for any and everyone to see. 
  17. You know I just watched it for the second time since I was sick at home this past week. Had to watch it twice because I couldn't figure out if I really liked it out really hated it ... I still don't know what I think, but I feel strongly about it [emoji6]
  18. KahrMan, you can take mine. #12. Just too tight right now.
  19. I got to play with this today and it is indeed NICE!
  20. It scares them because the Progressive Liberal teaching of secular humanism is that evil and bad are simply a lack of education (by the state) or injustice and that it can be cured with enough of other people's money, "progression", and fairness. Base humanity hasn't changed since the beginning of time nor will it.
  21. Promag = universally bad. If you have one that works, it's just a matter of time. Tapco = good reliable. The only caveat is that some poly mags can be real tight in the mag well. This is usually the issue you find with Tapco's. Also, poly mags tend to break at the tabs if you drop them loaded or they fall on the ground. There are a few Bulgarian poly mags (circle 10's) and a few commercially made Bulgarian poly mags that have steel reinforced tabs and feed lips. If course they start at around $24 and go way up from there.
  22. You will need to install a bullet guide, which is a small piece of metal that goes in the receiver just in front of the chamber. You will also probably need to file down the top of the mag catch. Once that is done any AK mag will work. http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/category_s/1931.htm
  23. Is this in the same category as Fireclean?
  24. The last stats I saw, showed Belle Meade and Brentwood with the highest B&E and auto thefts by a high margin.
  25. The yugo mags are the only ones that are factory BHO. The follower has a stop that catches the bolt. Weapon Tech is making BHO followers and they work really well. I have them in all my  mags and they work in all my AK's. http://www.primaryarms.com/WeaponTech_AK47_Enhanced_Bolt_Hold_Open_Follower_p/afwtakf3.htm   As to the fixed triangle, Dolomite is exactly right. Not only do they require a specific rear trunion, they also require a precise cut just behind the front trunion and a catch installed to hold the triangle open. Not hard but one of the more precise measure and cut on an AK that needs to be right.   If you want a triangle stock option withiout allthe trunion work and cut work, then Manticore Arms makes on that uses the ACE hinge system and works well.
