Poor car. lol I want to call B.S. on this being a continuous burst of 10 seconds of one Thompson. At the Fastest rate of fire (1500 rpm for the M1919) that makes 250 rounds in 10 seconds. Ok that number might be right if we started counting holes, but the largest drum for a Thompson was 100 round. So they could only sustain fire for less than 5 seconds. So I think some liberty was taken with the timing, number of guns, or they fact that they changed mags during and stopped the clock for that. Ok, not back to the regularly scheduled fun.

Looks like you are a little high on that violet to get a clean kill. lol

There are all kinds of cops like in any other profession. I have known good and bad in a lot of places. My Papaw was a deputy and was loved by coworkers and prisoners alike for treating people like humans. More than once a former prisoner showed up to thank him and offer to do chores for him. On the other hand, my uncle was a patrolman in another city. He would show up in full uniform, including State Trooper style glasses at family gatherings...on his day off. He said he needed a pocket recorder because "people always lied about him harassing them." He was an royal a$$hole to everyone. He had a power trip about it like I bet these guys did. If you do it for the right reasons you will be happy doing it. Otherwise, no matter the pay, move on. Nothing justifies you torturing someone that you have clearly restrained.

This wrench looks close to the nut. https://monstrumtactical.com/collections/free-float-quad-rail-handguards-ar-15/products/ar-15-armorers-wrench?variant=15621769091 I tried looking on DB's site and there is no link to a wrench to buy from DB. If you Google, you get a dead link to the page it is supposed to be on. I am guessing they moved to standard barrel nuts maybe. Looks like you might be borrowing theirs.

Better question. Did you see the gun knife in pic 32? Pics 148-153 also caught my eye.

Like a lot of Classifides here, I am far (8 hours) away from it, so that makes it a whole different ball game. I would love to go, even if it was only to look.

If I put all my stuff out on display my wife would kill me...then sell it. This guy does look like he had as great sense of taste...and lots of money to collect. I doubt I could afford his cheapest gun. Lol

Looks like they have been prepping for weeks.

Congrats. My advice: Sleep now, starting in February you will think you brought home 5 instead of just 1. You will love every minute though.

Seems like they turned off a bunch of light cameras up here after the news started putting out who got how much money and how they did not even have a cop reviewing the footage. Pretty much are just cash machines for the city or county.

My Dad says his Papaw and Dad tried to re-establish them on family land here in East TN, but that house cats would pick off all the quail. I am not sure I have ever seen one on that land. Sad too, I always wanted to bird hunt. Those are sone good looking birds you took.

The worst part is not the "fine", but the "administrative fee". I had one years back that was $50, but the admin fee when I paid it added like $66 dollars. It literally took the one lady 2 minutes to "administer" the paperwork.

Is that Charlie Chaplin driving? LOL Looks kinda like a Vespa.

Aguila 12 Gauge MINISHELL - Double your capacity?
Ronald_55 replied to Ronald_55's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
That is why I bought that 100 rounds of Remington Buckshot. If I need more that 100 rounds in my lifetime then I am SOL. -

Aguila 12 Gauge MINISHELL - Double your capacity?
Ronald_55 replied to Ronald_55's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
You think they would still be trouble in a pump? -
I got an email from AmmoFast.com today that showed "Aguila 12 Gauge MINISHELL". Has anyone used these? Looks like they come in 7.5 shot, slug and buckshot. They are 1 3/4 Inch, so they are touting that you can double the capacity of your pump. They are not for Semis. Interesting idea I guess if you worry about number of shots. At $1 a round, it is not the cheapest thing ever. The Remington Buckshot I just bought with a rebate comes out to about $0.40 per shot. So thoughts? Here is a link if anyone want to look. Buckshot Slug I have never bought from AmmoFast, but it seems like thye have lots of gimmick ammo.

Adding that one expensive firearm to the collection...
Ronald_55 replied to Ramjo's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Man that is nice. I always wonder how someone got this and held onto all the original pieces with it. So how many rounds would you put through it on the first range trip? -

Ronald_55 replied to Ramjo's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Not a classic, but I keep feeling the itch to own a .50 BMG. Though even shelling out for the one that was a good deal on here a while back is outside my wallet's limits. -
Ours was down a while back for a weekend and all we had were box fans. Was real hard to deal with and it was nowhere as hot as now. Glad to know you thought ahead.

Looks great to me. Also looks like you could easily do this same work to make a key chain. Just another item you could add to your arsenal of designs.

Glad to meet ya! I grew up in Sevierville, worked in Knoxville, and live close to Johnson City. The Sevierville area is just too tourist ridden for me (high prices too), Knoxville is too much like a big city, but the Tri-cities keep a smaller town feel. You have access to a bunch of stuff due to the combined population. Plus you are close to VA and NC if you want a day trip. My only advice is buy as much land as you can afford if you want to shoot at home. My 2 acres is just too close for shooting comfort to other houses. Prices should be very favorable compared to NY.
