  1. I think this is an editorial error and a plot continuation.  It looked like she took the whole chocolate piece the first time, then again the second time.  Anyone thinking tactically like her would not endanger the mission by taking anything but what they came for, especially when they made it a point to bring up the box of guns they would not notice; I think the writers got lazy.
  2. You will have to confirm, but most outdoor ranges only limit those rounds from their steel targets.  Indoor ranges won't let you shoot steel core, some limit even steel jackets using a magnet to clear your ammo.
  3. I once went all out on jerky, freezing the meat slightly to aid in the slicing; using many a marinade and spice recipes.  But recently I started using the jerky guns and premixed spices.  I was skeptical about using ground venison for jerky, I had purchased a kit but stored it away for years.  One year my freezer went out so had to use all the meat that was in there, so I decided to try it and I have to tell you it came out pretty good.  I still slice every once in awhile but mainly I now use the "caulking gun" method. 
  4. If you are real interested in getting your family tree done, I would suggest a professional service.  There are quite a few listed and they can at least use services that would be too expensive in whole to use.  Here is a great article about hiring out these services: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Hiring_a_Professional_Researcher   If enough family members are interested maybe you guys can share in the cost.
  5. That would be purple though.  Pretty soon it will be the whole rainbow of colors.
  6. I hate to disagree but I must. Handling weapons while someone is downrange is a definite bad thing to do. While you may be the safest guy around, that guy next you may not be. It only takes one non attentive moment for someone to get hurt. Even on my own place I follow that rule, and most times its no more than two there.
  7. Not sure its a resolution issue, I have some posts not sizing correctly such as this one:    http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/86359-uc-irvine-votes-to-ban-the-american-flag/   This post only fills the left most quarter or less of my screen on my samsung tablet and samsung phone both running chrome.   I seen this happen before but in those it was pictures that were rather large would distort the single post the picture was in to the right leaving all other posts the original size/width.   No post in that linked post though so not sure what ks doing it.
  8. Sounds like an idler arm or pulley bearing needs either lubed or replaced.   I'd spray some wd-40 on them one by one till you find the one that needs some tlc.  Be sure not to spray the belt, it will slip easily and damage it.
  9. Not sure when that changed, but we (Army as well) always called it that.     From the series of pictures it seems to be either a public safety ad or advertising for a "safer" holster.  The "wounded" guy sitting there for a pic and tragectory marker leads me to lean towards it being staged.
  10.  AR is Armalite Rifle, not assault rifle, not automatic rifle or any other name given it.  And while I think an auto has a place in combat I would rather stay semi-auto unless its a crew serve weapon.  An M4 in auto is a  psychological weapon but hard to be real effective with it due to its muzzle jump.  A bit better with a tripod, but harder to maneuver with one attached.
  11. Yea sorry, after spending 21 years in the military its hard to give up the acronyms.   PMCS is preventive maintenance checks and services. He just plain did not maintain his equipment.
  12. I like #1 but would like to see more curve to the blade and maybe a gut hook to use as a skinner.  I have a similar one I bought some years ago real cheap,  like $5 or $10 cheap, that has a rubber covered handle and two holes.  The holes are probably only for show though since I cant find a good grip using one or both but the sheath snaps through one of them I believe.
  13. Ouch, that's got to smart a bit.  Seems like more of a PMCS issue than a soft holster issue though.  That indentation looks to be old, should of been replaced some time ago.  
  14.   I am glad yours is running good, when I got back from Japan I needed a truck but couldn't afford a toyota.  I asked around and got many opinions but all told me to avoid the rangers.  I came upon a Mazda B2300 4x2 in my price range so I got it.  Only to find out later that it was a ranger with a mazda logo on it.  After the second tranny started slipping I got rid of it asap.
  15. My first truck was an 80s model, same size as a tacoma but not the same name...could of swore it was a hilux.  Anyway, it was a 4x4 with a 4cyl 22r engine and it was a tank.  It would pull my 17' trihull boat from Ft Bragg to Wilmington,  NC almost every weekend during the warm months and during hunting that little truck would get me in or out of anywhere.  In 92' I decided to upgrade to a fuel injected 4cyl a 90' or 91', and what an improvement.  Today I have a 2010' and so far so good.  I have had to take it in for a few issues, the stupid mat recall (not done), the heater fan which I don't think they totally fixed, and the radio which I didn't get replaced due to the deductible on the extended warranty. But mechanicaly it has run great.  Its the perfect size for me, I traded my sequoia for it due to it not doing so good offroad and getting the same gas mileage as the tacoma...should have started with it.
  16. Some people are real resistant to change and some just like to complain ...most times it's both.  
  17. New powder in stock: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00034IMR41661/IMR-4166-with-ENDURON-Technology-Smokeless-Powder-1-Lb   Haven't tried it yet but it's marketed for .223 so should work ok.
  18. I have been using all ten digits for some time now since I only have a cell phone.  My work landline is VOIP which has the local area codes (270, 931) built in because some numbers were local while others were considered long distance. 
  19. So here I am thinking you borrowed the Gen Lee for the vid, but low and behold you pull along side me on 41A going into gate4 this morning.  Just had to look to see who was driving and even got to see your temp tags, had me cracking up; other drivers probably thought I was nuts.  Would of waved to say hi, but I didn't want you to think I was a Gen Lee fanboy.
  20. I have, and seen many an x-ray and seen close up how good that ammo is, even at distances far beyond what the M4 was intended.  Make no mistake, many a larger caliber would do a better job, but that does not mean that the 5.56 is a bad round.  I feel it is a good trade off, light weight base load, round capacity and effectiveness on target.  Even the soviets have developed a smaller caliber for their weapons, 5.45×39mm, as well as the Chinese 5.8×42mm. 
  21. Yea, right handed, left eye dominant here as well.  I shoot my long guns and bow left handed and handguns right handed, I tried to get used to a left handed rifle awhile back but feel more comfortable shooting a right handed rifle on the left side.  If he is uncomfortable shooting left handed, get him a good scope and correct for his right eye.  Tape his left shooting lens on his shooting glasses so he has to focus with the right, it will strengthen the eye and help with the shooting.  Depending on his age, covering the left eye for a few hours a day may help get that eye to work better, a few of my friends had to do that when I was young.  
  22. That is why they make good technicals all over the world. https://www.google.com/search?q=toyota+technicals&safe=strict&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=JtD0VI_oFMG9ggTXuYToDA&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1071#imgdii=_
  23. I use my lead sled to zero my rifles in this manner. First I setup so my crosshair is right on the bull, I fire; reset to where my crosshair is again on the bull; then make adjustments to the scope so the crosshair is on the bullet strike. Adjust the rifle on the sled so that the crosshair is once again on the bull, fire again and repeat the above until my bullet strike is on the bull then repeat two more times so I have at least a three round strike on the bull. My .270 and .308 took 5 rounds to zero. Thinks to consider: Weight on the sled; I have two bags filled with lead shot on my sled to absorb the recoil. Loose rings/scope; if you cant take three consecutive shots and hit within a few cm to each other then something is moving. Cold barrel; some rifles will shoot the first round differently with a cold barrel than with a warm/hot barrel and clean vs fouled bore. If a its target rifle don't start adjusting the scope until you have at least a couple of rounds though it. If a hunting rifle, give it 10 or 15 minutes and clean the bore between shots if you plan on cleaning the bore before hunting. If you leave your bore fouled then just zero normally. I don't clean my bore unless I see major fouling or if leading occurs; I just run a clean patch through it. And make sure you are using the same batch of ammo you plan on using to hunt or target shoot, it does make a difference.
