to the Navy I still do not believe that Obama gave the go ahead, but who knows, he might even become a TGO member too! Nah, wishful thinking.

I know why I do not watch network television. All the programming is either the gun caused the problem with the misunderstood bg from a broken home or the bg is the gun owner. What better way to show that we do not need to worry about our second adment rights than to let network hacks show gun owners in a bad light. I must be a bad parent as I taught my childern all how to safely use both hand guns and rifles at an early age. I think the oldest son had a 22 when he was 12 and started hunting when he was 13. Proper education about firearm safety and open carry is an answer that one LEO suggested to me back in 1970 was the way to go. That way the bg would see the weapon and know that you were not a victim waiting to happen.

I have recently purchased a custom built rifle that is chambered to the specifications of a M118LR ( cal .308 ). The RIfle is built to the specifications of a M 24 by Predator on a Savage action. I knoww that the ammo is designed around theSMK 175 gr hpbt, RE 15 and match brass. I have a few rounds of Black Hills 308 with the 175 SMK bullets. some hand loads with both the Hornady A-max and SMK 168 grain bullets. I think that the muzzle velocity should be around 2600 to 2650 fps. I have on hand Win 748, IMR 4064 and a small amount of Varget. Any favorite loads or suggestions.

Check back with Wally World on Clinton Hwy. I don't delivery days but they usually have more than any of the other Wally Worlds. I did not see Randy's Guns and Knives mentioned on Broadway, check there also.

That is what I would call a very nice home defense weapon or maybe a nice centter piece for the coffee table. I am still trying to get the wife to let me place my M-24 on the kitchen table as a center piece.

At least he figured out how to post a new thread, muchless how to post a picture. I am still trying to figure out how to start a new thread, muchless post pictures. Sounds like a good deal to me, as I have a Predator custom built .308 that has a Savage action.

After reading the entire thread, I must be to set in my ways. I have a single stage RCBS single stage press with Lee dies. I have loaded approximately 6k rounds this past year. I know that that does not seem like a lot to some people with the turrent press, but it has keep me happy. Never looked to upgrade to the progressive press, even though it would be faster. I would recommend the single stage to any beginner or even to a well seasoned reloader to work up a load for any ammo.

I have a PT 1911 AR. I have put about 250 rounds through it both hard ball and hollow points. No problems at all, except that I had a hard time adjusting to the sight picture at first, then at 10 yards just one big ragged hole. By the way it came from CCA, Thanks guys. I can't go into a gun store and just window shop!

Moving on up.

I have lost everything that I held dear more than once. At first I was very upset with two ex-wives and the second part I got back on my feet. To lose everything and the ones I love is nothing new. To defend the right to keep and bear arms is one of the freedoms that keeps us free. A question asked of one of the generals of a foreign power said they did not fear the United States military; it was the citizens of the United States. I would think that I am one of those that they fear.

+1 on the laser

Does anyone recall that the German army had to change the oath to be loyal to Hitler at the beginig of the Nazi takeover of Germany. The oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic should not be changed! With the new change in America I do not think that any of our individual rights are safe from attack either.

+1 on too funny. Must be some of the citizens from Bama.

Mossberg 500 empty chamber and safety on. Grandchildren who are not raised around firearms. It is a safety priority for the wife. My dogs are the alarm system and racking the action is quiter than the dogs.

I missed the earlier discussion, but I perfer the .45 over the . 40, when loaded with approximately the same grain bulllet weight the .45 hasa shade higher velocity in most factory loads. The 9mm with 115 grain hollow points is faster still. My main weapon is a .45 my backup is a 9mm. If that is not enough I then revert to a .38 spl with hollow points. Use what you are comfortable wearing, practice, practice, parctice. Move, shoot, move and hit where you aim. Bigger is not always better, but I want something that intimidate with the big hole oput front. S&w M&P 45 Kel-Tec P_11 Colt Diamondback

I reload 9 mm, 38 sp, 357 mag, 45 acp, 223, 308, 30-06 & 12 ga
