I saw that myself today up here in East TN lol

Yep, but at least they have gotten away from the stupid visa cards loaded with $10 ( or whatever). They will not stop it though because 1. It keeps people from price matching. Most of the places will only match the out the door price. 2. They get to use $20 x 100000 people for 8-10 weeks.

Why so?

She looks like it.... but she is about my Mom's age...

I hate total non-gun reporters trying to report on guns like they know what they are doing.. This is an amazing rifle... .308 AND 6.5 Creedmore Basically seems just like an article to get people to pressure smaller manufacturers. Name dropping as many as possible. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1OG1BZ Small assault-style rifle firms thriving under activists' radar

Only problem I have is I gotta tack on $25 each for transfer then $10 bcc. Eats up the good deal quick. Sucks.

Last night there was a different code to use.nto get tg at price. This is what do see now. Sorry I posted it more joking. I shoukd have grabbed the code. It may have expired. Maybe try code L37 too 10% off Backorder - FEDERAL LAKE CITY 5.56MM NATO XM855 BARREL - $3835 w/code "LEC" ($3335 after $500 MIR) + $19.95 S/H

How about a 55gal drum of 5.56? 12500 rounds $2990 after Mir. May be on back order.... https://www.brownells.com/ammunition/rifle-ammo/5-56x45mm-nato-62gr-full-metal-jacket-12-500-barrel-sku100010469-124685-104566.aspx?sku=100010469&avad=avant&aid=35987&cm_mmc=affiliate-_-Itwine-_-Avantlink-_-Custom+Link&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Avantlink&utm_content=NA&utm_campaign=Itwine

can we go back in time?? I want to buy like 100 of those

We tell our kids that we don't care what they decide to do. If they are a PHD or a McDonald's fry maker as long as they are happy and can live on what they make. My parents thought college was my ticket to a better life. It has helped with what I ended up doing. I know guys that barely graduated high school that are probably happier than me though. They are happy with how they live and the cashflow it generates. To each their own.

Sadly I agree. When SHTF you are gonna have a hard time bringing anyone into the fold because of trust. Is that 10 year old sweet little girl a plant to let murderous raiders into your camp? Do the people you let in have skills to be more than resource black holes? Even if you are well prepared, a long term or a teotwawki scenerio will mean hunger and toil. Without access to electricity and/or mechanical assistance it will be even worse. Growing enough food to sustain even a small group will be back breaking. The days of mules and horse drawn plows are gone. The small population of animals that still exist will probably be slaughtered by the masses for food long before anyone gets far enough above water to start farming again. The woods will be hunted clean of anything bigger than a chipmunk. Stores, warehouses, cubbards, and anywhere else anything of value is stored will be looted. Sadly lots of it will be wasted as the JIT mentality have people gorge themselves today just to starve in a week. I truly believe cannibalism and slavery will rise up again as the "strong" prey on others. These gangs will terrorize groups and communities in search of resources. Those of us with guns will have a bit of an edge if we are willing to make the hard decisions, but even reloading supplies will run out at a point. True we can make black powder and mold our old bullets, but making fresh brass? When we are back to flintlocks holding off invaders will be much different. I hope for everyone's sake that the fragile system holds. As much as I despise a lot of today's world, I do not want to test how I might survive when a simple cut could mean a horribly painful death due to infection.

I am told I died and was hard to revive when I was just a few days old. I was really sick and spent a great deal of time in the nicu before I got to go home. Obviously I don't remember but I often reflect how it may have affected who I am.

I had no idea she was from TN. Always interesting to find stuff like this out. "Locke was born in 1944 as Sandra Louise Smith and raised in Shelbyville, Tenn. " "She worked with Clint Eastwood in “The Outlaw Josey Wales” in 1976, followed by “The Gauntlet,” “Every Which Way But Loose,” “Any Which Way You Can,” “Bronco Billy” and “Sudden Impact"." https://variety.com/2018/film/news/sondra-locke-dead-dies-heart-is-a-lonely-hunter-1203089402/amp/

I was in that exact same place at my previous job. Took me years to get out of there. Do I love my new job, no, but I work less hours and don't take it home. I have occasion to come in for special tasks on weekends, but that is maybe a few hours every couple months. I was working 60-80 hours at my last job. Can you guess my pay setup.?....yep salary. Now I am hourly if I do OT work. It is hard to change because you have to find time and energy to look for jobs, apply, and interview. It can seem like a deep dark hole. My family had stopped including me in activities. They just assumed that I would be working. That was one of the big reasons I started looking for a new place. The other was my health. I could see how fast it was going down under that stress.

Or this

I'm waiting for them to one day say that certain shapes of whiskey bottles are illegal because Ithey let you get drunk too fast ..... I mean if they can arbitrarily make decisions without a law they could do that too.

Just means they confiscate the entire gun....

I had a firefighter tell me once that they had to be trained on knowing what cars had magnesium engine blocks so that they did not spray a car fire with water.

Crap. I am guessing the video ends because the camera died. I agree it seems super fast. Most of these places are mainly concrete. Not a ton to burn...on purpose.

Cool stuff. Sadly at $2500 that is way above my tax bracket

So 1.25 cents per round...You are the winner. Lol

Not too far from the airport and they say 9 here. Just got done shoveling driveway....and it is snowing again..

Kingsport usually gets protected by the Eastman Effect. Unusual to have so much more than anywhere else around @Parrothead

It is all fun until I need to go somewhere. Shoveling that wet snow is the way heart attacks happen. We still have power, but wondering how long. No sign of snow plows yet.

I was gonna buy one Black Friday at Academy along with a Shield, but they were sold out 5 minutes after opening. I have a G1 that I like.
