I just use a drop of 30 weight motor oil. I have a 1 ounce bottle that I use and if I put my finger over the end I get more than enough to oil the ram on my Lee turret.

I didn't need to see that! I'm just getting into PCP air rifles myself. They are quiet, cheap to shoot and can be tack driver accurate. I still prefer .22 and centerfire, But considering the availability and cost of ammo, air guns can't be beat. Esp considering there's no TICS and they are likely to survive just about any gun control laws. Just last week I took my son to a junior air rifle camp at the CMP in Alabama. The kids there were very impressive. Sure some had $3k+ rifles but some were shooting Daisy and Crosman guns just as accurately. I thought I had most of the CZ's I could want til I saw a couple of their PCP rifles there. :drool:   My only problem was the frustration of watching and not getting to shoot with them. Fun, fun, fun!

    1 Timothy 5: 8 ESV - But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.   I understand that any one verse can easily be taken out of context, but I look at it this way: Just like on a plane, when they tell you in an emergency to put on your own mask before you try to help someone else; your household is your first responsibility, and if you don't take care of yourself and your own household first, how can you have the resources to help others? I'm not saying you need to hoard away a million dollars first, but there's a healthy balance. I know you're not saying otherwise, but in my opinion you have no business helping the neighbor keep from being late on their mortgage if you own children are hungry. Conversely, it is good to sacrifice replacing your 10 year old vehicle if you can help feed a family with a single mom who lost her job.   I  think the exact same goes for larger scale as well. For example, it may be admirable to send foreign aid to an oppressed people in another country, but you shouldn't do that if the country has to borrow money to do it when doing so is risking its own economy, and ability to help in the future, in the process.   I'm not saying this to preach, because I'm sure we all feel the same way. I just felt like sometimes this kind of thing needs to be said so that we don't lose sight of what's really important. Lord knows we get enough of the opposite from our so called leaders nowadays.

I agree, I hate getting all of the crap in the mail. I get a bunch of emails too which is irritating, but at least it doesn't take as much of our dues to pay for it.   I can only assume all of that is so that they can offer value to their members to keep their tax exempt status so that they are not just a lobbying organization.

Darn quick shipping! Came this evening. Nice packaging too. The BCG was a little marred, but to be expected with that finish. It should wear in nicely. Looks like excellent quality, esp for the price. That stainless barrel is purty. A touch on the heavy side too.

I still don't see the proof that they are producing at capacity. It seems like there would be larger shipments and more available online if that were the case. You also don't see it at the gun shops where they can more closely control rationing without the people camping out. I just think that if they were producing that much it would be flooding the market enough 2 years later to have discouraged the resellers.

They can be a bit difficult to come by, but here it is at a good price. Same place I picked mine up. http://www.damascusgunshop.com/shop/pistols/cz-97/cz-97-bd.html

I did the same thing. I had a Ruger SR1911, but after firing BigK's 97 I was sold. I love Rugers but I had it sold off and bought a 97BD just a few months later. The felt recoil is much less and I was a lot more accurate with it. I am also a huge fan of the deckocker. All of my CZ's are decockers with the exceptions of my 82 and Shadow which unfortunately is only available with a safety. I REALLY want a stainless CZ but they don't come in a decocker model so I'll have to wait. I asked them about that at the NRA convention and their reply was that they had too many models already.

Saddest part is, those stories are believable.

After 60 days would they be going to go to everyone's house that bought a .45 handgun recently to confiscate them? There may not be official registration, but it's basically the same thing when the ATF form requires model and serial number. And would they look at Wal-Mart receipts to go after the evil ammo people just bought but haven't shot yet? None of that would surprise me in that commy state.

Then you'll need another CZ so that you'll have a dedicated lower for the Kadet. I've got mine on a 40P lower (same as P-01) and its shoots like a dream. All the goodness of a CZ with even less recoil.

Congrats and welcome to the club! They are addictive- I'm sure you'll end up with more.

Taurus PT-145. Man I wanted to like that gun. Grip felt really good, the trigger was nice and crisp and it was about as accurate as a drunk, blind man with tourettes I had one and traded it and just had to get another one and it jammed constantly. Kinda like that girl that you really want to be attractive, but you realize no matter how many times you look you can't wish it into being so.

It may be because I'm used to shooting mine but I don't notice any difference either in accuracy or felt recoil between my SP-01 and my PCR. Other than a slightly shorter grip they feel the same in my hand. Maybe the trigger is not quite as nice as a 1911, but there's a heckuva lot you can do to make them better. The most fun is the excuse to shoot it more. Speaking of 1911, I sold mine to get the 97BD and will probably never go back. There's a LOT less muzzle flip and it's more accurate than I can shoot.

At what point is it safe to correctly call conspiracy on .22? The manufacturers can obviously produce it in quantities. 9mm has been in plentiful stock for a year now. And anyone dumb enough to pay gouger prices should be stocked up by now. I know the demand is high, but I don't hear of anyone finding any. Obviously it's not a round used in mass shootings, or for military type purposes, so there's no reason for the government to care other than it's usually the gateway caliber for most people new to shooting. I have some stashed away but neither I nor my son have shot any in well over a year because I don't know if I can replace it.

  On my modem it seems to be a public IP on the xfinitywifi connection. However, I agree with Dustbuster, that even though they may have partitioned the networks, if they are both being served by the same physical router, there's a way that someone could access one network from the other. And if they have bandwidth a'plenty for this, surely they can increase everyone's paid pipeline.   I've tried going to their web site to disable it like it states in Dustbuster's quote from their FAQ. Guess what, an unexpected error occurs. I will be calling them soon to have this turned off on my modem. If I want a guest network in my house I can configure that myself. If they won't, I'm going back to my personal modem. I only use theirs because it was cheaper for me to get a deal on their triple play bundle with voice and my modem did not support voice. I figured if it was free I may as well have it. Otherwise, I have no use for a land line.   Maybe when Google Fiber starts rolling out that will create some competition. That is unless Google decides to do the same thing.   Even though this is obviously a business decision to increase Comcasts' footprint, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Obummer's idea to give free wifi to the masses - on our dime.

39-17-1311.  Carrying weapons on public parks, playgrounds, civic centers and other public recreational buildings and grounds.    (d) Notwithstanding subdivision (b)(1)(H), any municipality or county may prohibit, by resolution adopted by a majority vote of its legislative body, persons authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351, from possessing the handgun while within or on a public park that is owned or operated by a county, a municipality or instrumentality thereof. If a legislative body elects to prohibit the possession of handguns within a park, the prohibition shall apply to the entire park, notwithstanding subdivision (b)(1)(H). If the area is jointly owned or operated by municipalities or counties, then a resolution adopted by a majority vote of all affected legislative bodies, voting individually, is necessary for the municipalities or counties to prohibit persons authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351 from possessing the handgun while within the park. (e)  (1) Because signage prohibiting the possessing of firearms while within or on a public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway or other similar public place that is owned or operated by the state or instrumentality of the state, and posted pursuant to this section prior to July 1, 2009, remains necessary for visitors who are not authorized to carry a firearm pursuant to subsection (b), the department shall not replace or change any existing signs that prohibit firearms or erect any new signs at existing state areas relative to firearms; however, the department may replace or repair signs that have been damaged or are scheduled for replacement in accordance with the park's regular replacement schedule.    (2) If a municipality or county elects to prohibit persons authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351 from possessing the handgun while within or on a public park, it shall display in prominent locations the sign authorized by subdivision (c)(1), to give notice that handguns are not permitted in the park.   This is the specific legislation. In section (e)(2) it does read that the signage is necessary, however, in (e)(1)(b) it at least infers that existing signage does not need to be replaced just to include verbiage or other indication that carrying is illegal there.

Since the bill died, I read the current law to say that if the city prohibits carry in their parks, even though there is no signage at a particular park or greenway trailhead, it is still illegal to do so.   Does anyone see this any differently?

I wonder if buying up all of the gun buster signs so that no one can buy one to post on their business wouldn't be a better idea. Only negative I can see is that their inventory system would simply keep ordering more.

Apparently you cannot flag a "Premium Vendor"   http://www.armslist.com/posts/3064166/bend-oregon-ammo-for-sale-trade-----525-value-pack-bricks-22lr-ammo---

  Don't ask, don't tell.

Meant to send you my resume but never did. I'll have to get that to you now.

Couldn't tell you how many times I've put something somewhere and said to myself "I won't forget where I put this if I put it here" .........

In the few boxes I've put through mine, I've never had an issue. I did notice at Walmart the other day they had a hand written note behind the register in the sporting goods dept that said they were not currently selling Remington 700s.   I did see on the Remington website http://xmprecall.remington.com the following blurb:   Contact the RARC nearest you to schedule a time when you can take your rifle to the repair center for installation of the new trigger mechanism. You will not be charged for the new trigger mechanism or its installation.     So it looks like they aren't just cleaning it, but replacing the entire trigger assembly.

  Seems like I've always got some nagging joint, tendon, ligament or muscle problems anymore. Could be from playing hockey for 10 years and/or the fact that I've never been one to otherwise exercise or workout, I'm not sure. I can't really complain cause I know overall I've got it better than some, but, it's no fun having pain or muscle weakness making it 10 times more difficult to do daily tasks. I'm trying to fix some of that now by going to the gym, but it takes a while for the benefits to kick in in your mid 40's.   However, I know what you mean about the nausea thing. A few years ago I had a 2-3 day bout with vertigo and with the world spinning non-stop, the only way I could handle it and the nausea was to try and stay asleep. If I could have been able to walk straight enough to find my gun it would have been considered. Although I'm sure I would have missed. At least with orthopedic stuff you can usually rest it and get some relief.
