R.I.P.

I'm fixing to work on a propane forge and furnace, the propane cylinder type, and need some info. Is there any place, close by, that sells the items below, or other forge stuff? The firebrick is the lightweight ones, not the heavier ones available in box stores, you can cut it with a hacksaw. They are relatively cheap, but shipping sucks so would like to pick up locally. Nashville is probably the furthest that will make sense, further than that I may as well order it. https://www.amazon.com/Amaco-28035N-Insulating-Firebrick-Size/dp/B007VEOIVA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07846DXW1/?coliid=I1HSQF54LMVCPW&colid=5JZFAMPDE3U2&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OBXARVY/?coliid=I2O3W83NF8FS2C&colid=5JZFAMPDE3U2&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Memphis? Just kidding guys, just kidding...but just barely.

It must have been a cold day!

With a good muzzle device most AR calibers can be tamed. Not a fan of the flaming pig, or the like, but they do reduce the noise level at your ears, though not anyone to the front or side. I have a Simple Threaded Device on my 300Blk which pushes most of the noise and flash forward, but it reduces the flash quite well. I got another one for the 5.56 but have not installed it yet, so don't know how much if any improvement can be had over the birdcage.

I have pistols in 300Blk, 5.56, .277, and 9mm, I like to shoot them. The one I carry in the truck is the 300Blk at the moment, but any of the above will be better than a handgun. I don't worry about the braces, they are legal, and if pulled over it's easy to explain to any LEO if they are unaware. Of course the reason for the stop can make things more difficult, if you are doing stupid things, or get mistaken for someone that did, it may take more explaining.

They will Gore you if they get the chance, but they also bite, can take digits clean off.

There in lies the problem. If we, as gun enthusiasts keep thinking this way, we will soon need to take classes, pass certification courses, and hell, why not throw in mandatory liability insurance before we can even begin looking for a weapon. I mean, it's only common sense right? While I also feel people should take courses, I in no way feel it should be mandatory.

I'm a Toyota guy, my first, an 81 hilux(?), was what sold me. It was a 4x4 stick shift, and that thing never let me down. It's only downside was that it had problems pulling my 17' tri-hull boat from Ft Bragg to Wilmington every weekend in the summer. I upgraded to a 90ish, same 22R engine just fuel injected and it fixed that. I was shipped out to Japan, was notified 1 day after I picked it up, so my BIL took over payments for it and delivered it to him when I finally left. He trashed both of course, but that's another story, anyway when I returned I went through a few other brands and Ford was the worst. I actually was warned against getting a Ranger, so I bought a Mazda B2300...yup, same truck. So I went through 2 Mazdas, and a GMC before going back to a Toyota. Run a Tacoma now after first trying a Sequoia (didn't like offroad), and if I get another it will probably be another Tacoma. Older vehicles...Yea, had Dodge Demon, AMC Javelin, Chrysler Tradesman 200, Pontiac Trans-am, Chevy Monte Carlo. They all had their time but eventually they all fell to mechanical issue. The only thing I liked was that parts were readily available, and besides the tradesman, all had plenty of space to work on them.

I'm sure other calibers are going to be available, but these have to catch on and get some range time first to see if anything creeps up. I would like to shoot one, to see what the recoil feels like, and to see if it would be a good platform for intuitive shooting.

What haven't you heard? The money is in renewable energy, I'm going to submit a research grant proposal on rabbit powered cars. Park on the grass, a small enclosure lowers down to feed the rabbit pairs, they eat, mate and run your car faster with every litter. Here is my prototype.

I do, let's get this list going.

The dinosaurs man, the dinosaurs, if man hadn't invented...I mean caused global warming that meteor wouldn't of found us.

Sucks to hear about cases like these, but I always send mine in, though luckily it's only been three times, my G23, which sort of ticked me off, they pretty much gave me a new lower which at the time I didn't like, my Mossberg slug gun, inspected and returned, my Remington 700, trigger cleaned and sealed, and while they each took awhile, none took as long as these. My thought process is liability, none of the weapons exhibited any of the issues on the recall, but who knows what lies ahead. I try to be as safe as I can be, but on occasion I let others fire my weapons and I'd hate for there to be an issue. Now, if a manufacturer is gone bankrupt or some such, then my thinking may change, such as when Remington was having issues, but then I'd opt to take that weapon out of circulation until I could trust the mfg or effect inspection and repair on my own.

But Mueller said it's the Russians.

Haven't heard of anyone being tried for shooting an armed home invader, murderer and such even when fleeing, at least not in the free states. The ones that have been arrested, shot at burglary suspects with no threat to them or others, at least no pattern of such. Wasn't a fleeing home invader killed in Memphis recently? I guess it all depends on what is known before encountering him, and of course backstop and other circumstances would be considered. I would draw down on a murderer in a heartbeat, and any offensive move would get him shot. But if he was only a burglary subject, and no hindsight to guide you, then the factors you list may come into play and the safest course would be to let law enforcement deal with him later.

If the ferry operator was armed, he should have tried to hold him there. But I can't fault him for not engaging him, only he knows his capabilities. As to shooting while he is running away, I think him being a danger to the community at large would give you legal cover.

Don't know, but I like it. But that wind farm looks modern so not sure how vintage this photo is.

There was a bunch available a few years ago, no issues were reported. It's boxer primed, non corrosive, and reloadable. Probably a match to Federal XM193 55gr FMJ, not a bad find.

I seen that article a few days ago, and its theoretically a good rifle, but it will go nowhere. First, the ammo for it is bulky, not to mention more expensive than standard ammo. We already tried a three round burst, it didn't work well in the field. The Army is interested in the four shot version, which will have the same handicap, once you shoot 2 or three, you either shoot the last ones, or lose the rounds by reloading to begin a new contact with the enemy. Not good IMHO, the first option loses the element of surprise, or gives away your position, the second has you either losing rounds or carrying partial, blocks of ammo.

I'd be more worried about keeping a loaded long gun in a vehicle than an AR pistol. And I hope you don't recommend keeping it unloaded.

Many manufacturers have their own letter, check their website. You should be fine with that. As @Raoul said, just buy what you want, there are hundreds on the street already.

We lost ours a few years ago, Clarksville has no reporters left. Check the future section to see if the lotto numbers are in it.

The answer is quite the same, if you feel you may have an NFA issue, just save links to the ATF site and or print out a copy to keep and show local LEOs. Most LEO do know the difference, if they don't I'm sure they can clarify it quite quickly, the key is to be courteous and not belittling when explaining it to them.

I personally feel it would not be an issue, I would just keep links to the pertinent NFA rules and possibly a printout to show any LEO if they don't know. However, why bother? Lowers are at an all time low, and available everywhere, so the risk/reward isn't there. If all you want, as I do, is to build your own, then have at it, it's legal, just be sure to check adjacent state/local laws to make sure there are no laws against it.
