MOLLE is the only attachment system I have seen in over 10 years.  The only thing that has seen any "improved" are some of the methods of attachment such as molle sticks and molle lok but those only come on a few pieces of equipment such as the IOTV for the adjusters and a few webbing cutter pouches which have a plastic lock system.  IMHO the molle straps with stiffeners are the best, though harder to weave through they provide a sturdy attachment and since they are not plastic they dont get brittle and break.  

All politics,  if they receive nothing they donate nothing.  While I disagree with the Brady campaign and their tactics I have to admire the way they do things.  If they win, they advance their cause, if they lose they are not held liable.  You can't get blood from a turnip so I doubt anyone will end up paying much if anything.

They do not sue in their name, they get others to file with their financial support: http://www.bradycampaign.org/our-impact/resources/current-cases-against-gun-dealers 

Here are two in the immediate vicinity The first is a Gerber, it may still be the one issued. The second says Asek on one side and Ontario on the other. I think it's an updated pilot survival knife withe the leather sheath I had in the 80s. As shown, they both have molle straps, and leg straps but I never used those. The only thing I strapped on my leg was my M9, and that only while on mission otherwise just a hip holster while in civies.

I'd be careful,  I tried the flush and it did not work out for me.  A couple of days after I tried the flush, I had to go into the ER in extreme pain and a fever.  I had a sonogram which showed stones so they immediately checked me in for surgery the next morning.  Apparently the flush just washed a large stone into the duct which lodged.  They made a couple of small incisions and used some scope to get the gall bladder out.  Apparently the flush sort of soaks into the stone which makes them a bit softer and bigger, it also coats it in a slimy skin and flushes it out of your system.  If the stones are smaller, sand or pea size then it may work fine but mine were almost marble sized so the duct was not large enough to pass them.  The surgery itself was fine, but the nurse or whoever intubated me sliced my throat so had a sore throat for a few weeks afterward.  The docs warned me to cut back on spicy food and a few other things but I mainly eat the same as always.

I mostly used a benchmade folder, my fixed blade was usually left in its sheath.  Our ALSE section would issue various knives so I carried whatever knife du jour was issued.  I remember carrying a kabar, an M9 (Buck)  bayonet, a pilot survival knife, a gerber survival knife and another I forget the brand of but its in a drawer someplace. The latest few had molle straps but all always had a 550 safety.  Most times I would place them on the side of my pack with the handle down but on a few occasions I would have it attached to my vest.  I'll try and drag out a few for pics later.

Like these: http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/cats/fish/fish-tn.htm?136,151 or these: http://www.kentuckyhydrografx.com/   The last ones are pretty good maps, shows all the bottom structures but I don't know if they show the specific areas you are looking for.  I use google earth to plan then the fishfinder to indicate when I am over a structure I want to fish.

Epic.

.308 is not a bad choice, but I have used a .270 Winchester for a long time and have found that I can hunt any North American game animal with this caliber.  At present I have a Weatherby Vanguard .270 bolt which is their cheaper rifle but before that one I had a Winchester which was a Ranger Model but again a cheaper version of the Model 70 (cheaper furniture) which served me well for 20 years.  I hunt with both the .308 and .270 at my place since range is no greater than 150 yards which is great for these but not so good for a slug gun, they just have too much drop.  Same goes for that venerable cartridge, the 30-30 Win, it just has too much drop. Anything in larger or in a magnum IMHO is just too much gun, specially for white tail but if that is all you got, they work too.   I know I mentioned some brands above but honestly most any rifle chambered in those calibers are good to go, as any brand can have an individual rifle that is either a tack driver or a lemon.  Just be sure to inspect the chamber, bore and crown as defects there can affect accuracy.

Yea, but then some clown would steal it.

Too old to try and relearn a new method, specially since I have no need of it. As for the guys reasoning,  I don't cover the ejection port anyway even when I need to unload a squib.  I just eject it onto a surface such as a table or a clear spot on the ground.

When we had the M16s, they always had those wooden q-tips and pipe cleaners for us, just no picks, we cut wire hangers and smashed or sharpened the ends to make our own.  We cleaned the gas key with q-tips and the end of the gas tube with pipe cleaners after scraping out the carbon with the "picks" without any issues.  Of course, back then they hadn't quite realized that a rifle was almost always loosing bluing so wouldn't pass the clean swab test easily.  When we used the M16A2 to the M4s, the solvent tank became popular, and the q-tips disappeared, you had to get some from the medics if you were old school.

Of the choices you have listed I voted for the handi. The 300 Blackout is not as expensive if you roll your own, many projos that will work for it in either pulldowns or cast. But not a fan of the company right now so I have been eyeballing this one : http://www.ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanch/models.html Yes, that is a threaded barrel; that info is hard to come by in the literature.

I do, as I do all my guns that I don't use often.  When I put them back in the safe I clean them and put a generous amount of wet lube on them since I don't know when Ill be at them again.  Rem oil works ok, but it does not stand up to the elements as well as other products I use so it is relegated to my sharpening stone for the small bottle and my spray is saved for fishing reels and any other thing that I don't want to tear down but needs a bit of lube.  I have a multitude of gun lubes available and can't say there is one I go to for any specific purpose, I have even sprayed WD40 on one at the range so not really sold on any one lube, but I do try and use dry lube on my EDC due to the dust and lint that accumulates on them every now and then.

Exactly why I bought my can, my Rugger was a PITA to disassemble until I got the hang of it.

I use about the same mostly, though I only have a spray can and one small bottle of rem oil left.  I have a bunch of militec-1 though so I try and treat as many of my steel parts as I can with it.  I wipe down my EDC every once in awhile with the tuff cloth since I don't use wet lube on them, only for cleaning purposes.  As for grease, I have a few tubes of different types but never used it on any of my guns and only a couple of times on my rifle's bolt but noticed no difference.  The most use of rem oil was when sharpening my knives with an Arkansas Stone.

What are these people thinking, what good is a gun you can't deploy when needed?  Why is "shall not be infringed" so difficult for them to understand?  I'm sorry, but I would become a law breaker if I had to live in that state.

Why stop at 29?  It's that one you don't have that you will need later.  I always put one in the chamber and load another into the mag so I have the max I can have, whether it be my Glock or AR.  Door security is great, specially the frame but I think the best thing to have is an early warning that someone or something is approaching your door.  I have seen many put those driveway alarms out so they know when someone is coming, but if fido barks when someone approaches that's good too because in those situations every second counts.

Wow, never owned a Mosquito or P22 but if the Jennings is better I want nothing to do with them.  My Jennings never leaves the safe and has had less than 50 rounds through it in the last 25 years or so.  It has always been fed CCIs and still has issues feeding and extracting rounds.

Well, sort of.  OCP was Overseas Camouflage Pattern and now will be known as Operation Enduring Freedom Pattern, Scorpion V2 is now going to be called Operational Camouflage Pattern, probably to keep from changing a bunch of printed material.  The two patterns were both started by crye precision but scorpion was done under contract so natick changed it and calls it scorpion V2, probably to keep from paying printing royalties.  Clear as mud right?   As for concealed carry on post, Ft Campbell, I doubt the post Commander will allow it.  Which is ironic since they allow you to take weapons on post as long as you are heading go the public range, or hunting, and they are registered on post.  They can't be loaded, ammo must be separate etc, but for years nobody doing it legally/by regs has gone nuts with them as I figure will be the same with CCW.

Yes, and that also includes condensation from cool boolits brought into a warmer area, or a splash from your water drop bucket.  That is why I melt all my wheel lead outside in a cast iron pot and only cast from ingots indoors; I can run away faster when in the open :eek: . 

How about the USO?  They have one at the airport and can always use things like that, and you know it will go to military folks.

OCP is Overseas Camouflage Pattern or Multicam as Crye Precision,  the mfg, calls it.  UCP is Universal Camouflage Pattern,  big waste of money IMHO.  The new pattern is officially called scorpion,  but is essentially a Multicam variation but they couldn't call it OCP anymore since its also for CONUS.  My bet is that they change the uniforms just enough so you can tell them apart such as a pocket or two so intead of just using the current equipment and uniforms,  everything will have to be repurchased.

Don't do it, they are so contaminated that it takes special equipment to get it clean.  The posts and cable lead is ok, but definitely stay away from the interior plates. 

Never knew they made these. I have a couple or three Victorinox Swiss Army knives running around somewhere, nice tools. I just sort of see the knives as a gentleman's tool and not as a field tool so never really put them through their paces.
