Any ad block add-ons?

Nice, I like the FDE version. Great price too, brace alone over $100 and cheapest pistol lower, no brace, is $150 at PSA.

All I can compare it to is the birdcage, but yes it is noticeable. With my ARs there is not much kick so not sure of any compensation qualities but I was able to keep the muzzle on target very easily with my 300 the other day.

Looks like the end of a hose, an expensive hose.

I see you have a pattern preference since they almost all have the same look. I use the Simple Threaded Device, cheap but effective: I have this on my 300Blk but also have a 5.56 version which I haven't tried yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&seller=A35WXYX1GOTH29

Its probably due to using the vertical forward grip which can't be used on a pistol unless its over 26.5". I don't use the grip on a pistol so no need to worry about length for me. I have one on my 16" barreled rifle due to where I have the laser mounted, otherwise I would not need it for that one either.

Not sure what you are using as far as a browser goes but I use MS Explorer (this post) and Chrome on my table and they both only place the quote once. I did use firefox once and it had issues displaying the text box but the quote was only once as well on that one too.

Need a cerakote / durcote / refinshing guy locally
Omega replied to plank white's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Ok, I guess the key words are profit and business. Good to know though, some things are just not common sense so a reminder is welcome. I guess my SOF gunsmith taking a look at my rifles is a gray area too. -
Well, not fun but I can laugh about it now. I joined the military out of Denver, CO so hunted mulies and elk. When I started hunting at my first permanent duty station at Ft Bragg, NC. I was recommended a 30/30 so went with it. My first few outings I let a few 8 pointers go by because I thought they were too small. My buddies laughed their butts off when I told them and they clued me in on easter whitetails and the rest is history.

For deer anything that blends in is good, they notice movement, noise and smell more than color. But they will notice things out of place too, so keep close to trees and tall grass more often than in open areas with any camo. Birds on the other hand are much better noticing movement so you have to blend in better. I use overhead cover for doves, trees or a camo tarp does good. I haven't hunted turkey, but have run across them often enough to be confident in saying that they are like dove since they react the same. If they allowed hunting with multiple weapons (used to be against regs) I could take all kinds of turkey from my deer stand.

They will email you the label.

Well not a day only but a culmination of a few days. I replaced my dead tractor with a newer one and attacked my hunting area with a bushhog. My shooting lane was so overgrown with brambels that could not setup to shoot. I used my box blade to break up and level out the ground as much as I could and spread about 10 bags of grass seed and disked it in. Well, yesterday I went back, with food plot seed, and the grass is about 3 inches though right now mostly in the small ruts but expect it to spread. I put some the seed out and raked it in and setup my shooting bench and got me some range time. A real satisfying day for all my work.

A shotgun is a very versatile tool, you can load it with all sorts of interesting projectiles. Flares, flachett, salt, slugs, sabots etc.; in an urban environment it can be very handy so not a bad choice if that is what you go with.

Need a cerakote / durcote / refinshing guy locally
Omega replied to plank white's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
So let me get this straight, if I have a buddy that knows how to cerakote, set trigger weight, lap scopes etc I could not leave my weapon with him? Or is this more for for-profit guys? -
^This - No way I would stick around FL, no matter what his name will trigger news and somebody will try and make themselves famous.

That's a nice one, I use a similar one up front for my sling; who makes it?

I have a Harris bipod for mine, but only used it once or twice. Its just too heavy, relative speaking for anything but a defensive position. For yotes or prairie dogs I use a shooting stick, like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Winchester-Shooting-Stick/16662943 because it works and is pretty cheap. You can also go the DIY route: http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1747974 If you are set on a bipod I like the Harris ones but there are a few out there now that are as good but cheaper.

Civil Unrest Thread got me thinking.

I would not rely on brick for protection, most rifle rounds will get through. For those interested in trying to fortify their homes on the cheap, spray-on truck liner, like line-x or rhino liner, has been shown to help in blast protection and may also help a bit for bullet protection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSvVy6oiMZI -
Not bad at $99, specially if you pickup in bowling green's new store Sep 25th.

Seems counterintuitive, thugs trade guns to other thugs who could care less about the legalities. Its the honest guys you want to reach; if your friend was dishonest about the gun then he now knows its possibly stolen and is culpable if he passes it along to anyone. When I purchase guns, I try and do it smartly with bills of sale, trading licence or CCW info etc. If I run a serial number and it comes up hot I will report it and the info with it as I expect someone to do if one of mine came up fishy. If a gun I sell/trade gets surrendered to LE, then I will make it right with the buyer and pass on where I got the gun from to LE and find a recourse with the person/shop I got it from; its just the right thing to do. The way I see things is, if you dont do your due diligence and get stuck with the loss its your fault to begin with, you should not pass it on to the next guy. If you knowingly keep a suspect weapon, you will be having to keep it squirreled away forever in fear of being discovered, and thats not how I want to have a weapon; I try to use all my weapons. Edit: speeling

While I see your point, I disagree. Getting your serial number out there will greatly increase your chances of getting it back. If I go to buy a gun and find it is stolen I will contact the owner or LE to let them know, this way I can be sure that the gun is not tied to me in a theft investigation and will give the police any information on how or who I bought it from. I never buy a gun without some type of information exchange, whether it be phone number or email only. If you don't report it, it may trade hands many times before someone checks with the police department where the serial number is recorded. Besides, I would rather the gun be thrown into a river than it stay in the hands of the SOB who stole it.

The thing is this; If you are a law abiding citizen of the US, you follow the law whether you agree with it or not or suffer the consequences. If you do not like the law, work to get it changed. If you choose to break the law then you accept responsibility for what happens when the law gets enforced. I don't purport to follow every law, but I accept the traffic ticket when I get pulled over speeding or I forget my seat belt. If someone kills one of my kids, I'll accept whatever punishment comes from the retribution I deal out, period.
-
Timing may suck, but I don't think its a celebratory monument. It sounds more like an informational type setup. I think no matter where you stand on this, it is important to study it to try and develop ways to minimize loss of life on both sides. Edit for speeling.

Quote From: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/waco/topten2.html "Who started the fire that erupted a little more than six hours after the FBI began inserting the tear gas on April 19? Although several of the surviving Branch Davidians insist that they did not start the fire, a panel of arson investigators concluded that the Davidians were responsible for igniting it, simultaneously, in at least three different areas of the compound. Unless they were deliberatley set, the probability of the three fires starting almost simultaneously was highly unlikely, according to fire experts. Furthermore, the videotapes show the use of accelerants that strongly increased the spread of the fire. Although one Branch Davidian stated that a FBI tank had tipped over a lantern, videotapes show that the tank had struck the building a minute and a half before the fire began. Also some of the surviving Davidians' clothing showed evidence of lighter fluid and other accelerants. In addition, FBI listening devices seemed to establish that the Davidians were overheard making statements such as, "Spread the fuel," some six hours before the fires began. (Joint Hearing of the Crime Subcommittee July 1995.) What caused the death of more than 80 Branch Davidians inside the compound on April 19? Medical examiners, Dr. Nizam Peerwani and Dr. Rodney Crow, have told FRONTLINE that many of them died from asphyxiation when the intense fire raced through the compound. Others, particularly women and children who huddled under wet blankets in a concrete chamber, were fatally injured when debris collapsed on them during the fire, the officials said. Still others were shot to death, suicide or homicide victims in apparent mercy killings, they said. Both the coroners and some FBI sources have told FRONTLINE that the pattern of most of the bodies was not consistent with a theory of mass suicide."

Wasn't the fire started by the branch guys?
