  1. Just reported the video as : scam/misleading.  They remind me of ISIS with their bs social media ads.  
  2. Many guys used crylon paint to camo their rifles which they needed to clean upon return.  We had a nice weapons parts cleaner that would clean them right up.  I never painted mine, I used spandoflage, a camo non stick tape they use when medics take blood.  On the original sights, the numbers are white paint.  Not sure what kind, but they would not desolve in solvent.
  3. It reminds me of the fake gun to make you look like you are OC.
  4. No, many news stations reported that it was a gun.  They have not said what caliber yet but I doubt it was a .44; seems that would of not stopped in the guys head.   At 125 yards, it was most likely a ball 9mm or .45 not a 5.56 or 30 cal type round due to the same reason above.
  5. Not BS perse, but at 125 yards I would not be surprised, unless its a 5.56, that he may of intended to either hit the crowd or over everyones head.  The drop at that distance is considerable so he had to elevate his aim to lob it in if he meant to hit anyone, if not, then he elevated to hit above everyone not realising how much it would drop.
  6. Meh, just sit back and have a drink of Soju you won't notice the floor  :yum:   Seems like formaldehyde is in everything in the far east.
  7. Ok put your tin hats on, what if its "revealed" that it was a 5.56 shootin green tip out of a pistol with a Sig brace. :ugh:
  8. We had two passports, a brown official military (DOD) passport, and a civilian blue passport.  Depending on the country and mode of travel decided which you would present.  Many times it was only the Mil Id card that was needed.  Since I was in civies many times, I would only carry and use my blue one. 
  9. We have an ACE that still sells guns, it's called Grandpa's on 41A in Clarksville.  Never bought a gun there though, prices are not very competitive but have had my bow strung and a scope mounted a few years ago.
  10. A wide stiff tight belt helps, not so tight to be uncomfortable but tight.
  11. I got the opportunity to deploy to Botswana, Africa.  We landed at Sir Seretse Khama International during one of their diamond shipments and almost started an international incident.  Seems their security personnel did not appreciate a Military C-130 with fully armed US Rangers (I am not one) landing at that time.  We had to stay onboard under guard while the shipment was completed...fun times.  But they did get our passports and stamped them for us, but no exit stamp.  We also landed in the Ivory Coast which was a little more tense IMO, we slept in the hanger and maintained guards.  Every other country never even asked for a passport.
  12. I haven't used those myself but shoot cast bullets all the time.  I use a mix of alox and Johnson's liquid wax to coat my handgun bullets with no leading and it leaves my bore shiny.  Some will shoot theirs quite fast (+1000fps), I haven't pushed them quite that fast though.
  13. Maybe we need to do like Colorado did and do a recall on Haslam.  If our elected officials are not doing what we hired them to do then maybe its time they look for a new job.  I think this would be a wakeup call to those under him too.
  14. I used to do the same thing as far as full (or close to) case of powder but lately it seems that many powders are hard to come by so had to use some that would work but not leave the case as full.  In another forum I seen where someone had a SEE (Secondary Explosive Effect) due to the case not being full so am thinking if this powder availability issue is not fixed soon I am going to start using Dacron to top off the rest of my cases to try and prevent that.
  15. I use a turret press but use it in single stage mode, sort of.  When I get to the powder, I drop then seat.  If I get interrupted I start over with an empty shell by turning the left behind shell into the hopper.     I think this would work for large charges, or ones that are not close to max but smaller charges would be dificult to spot since some of my bullets can vary by a grain or two and as you mentioned brass can vary by brand, trim length or how many times its been reloaded.
  16. Probably thinking of Cheaper than Dirt, another gouger that raised their M855 price as well.
  17. I have a few hundred, I just used them to plink with and convert the cases to 300Blk.  They are not particularly good rounds for anything else since you can't use them to hunt with.  I would of traded them off one for one for 300Blk rounds if the panic would of gotten any worse.  As it is they are now back to plinking ammo :up:
  18. Its on the list as a decent case for conversion to 300 Blackout so can't be all that bad.
  19. Yea, seen that on another forum.  Seems that they bit off a bit more than they could chew.  The backlash was immediate and immense; the way it should be.
  20. Dang, I wonder what my Belgium Hi-Power is worth then...will never know.
  21. Ha, yea I meant to type "W" don't know why I typed "M".  I think the stamp is a bit too big not to be part of the plot line, they wanted it front and center; Even showed it later after Rick had changed clothes.
  22. Bet it has to do with the M marked on the walker, maybe a way to mark the two groups?
  23. I use the flat nozzle with venison, never really tried it with beef so not sure about higher fat content in that, but venison once mixed with cure and the spices is quite putty like.  Depending on how long you leave it in the dehydrator will determine how long it can be stored.  The less moisture you leave in the longer it will last, but you don't want it too dry though it still tastes good if you do.  Of course, good luck trying to let it last; mine goes quick.  I got the LEM jerky gun it holds about two lbs, and use Nesco spices because each pack set does one lb.
