  2. [quote name='rebeldrummer' timestamp='1354215047' post='852490'] noted...still didnt want to stoop to others levels and air anything out on the thread. i even think some where in TGO history mods other others in authority have asked us not to do that?? just trying to comply. [/quote] Interesting. I think I said I wasn't naming names yet you're all but tripping over your dick {keeping with the Favre analogy because, well ... it's funny} to implicate yourself for some reason, and I'm still not saying who the PM was about. Got something you need to get off your chest? Maybe it'll make you feel better and bring some value to this thread. Otherwise, I'm still keeping quiet about who I was referring to.
  3. There's a bunch of people who's profiles I look at daily. Because I like to. [IMG]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll194/dkyancy/Funny%20Stuff/internet-creeper.jpg[/IMG]
  4. So I had an interesting PM this morning. One of our members who has worked in the private security industry called the regulatory board that oversees licensing for such things in Tennessee and learned that someone in this thread, who has been very vocal and claims to currently work private security, is NOT licensed in the state of Tennessee. It seems his armed guard license expired on February 28th, 2009. I'm not naming names, but clearly there is some interest in whether people are full of it or not and I wanted to throw this out there. Point being, either someone here is telling stories that aren't true or they're not operating within the law and maybe they should get that fixed. Just a friendly reminder that on the Internet there are both posers and professionals. The professionals [b][u]are[/u][/b] watching.
  5. I was looking at the Sabre a while back but ended up getting a Carhartt "soft shell" instead.
  6. I don't think I'd let that go if I were in your shoes. A bolt action .308 is a pretty versatile rifle.
  7. What's it chambered in?

  9. It's automated. Thanks for the support!
  10. [quote name='Sandman' timestamp='1353795775' post='850160'] Thread revival! Took the tech test today and passed. Just waiting on my sign and I will be on the airwaves! [/quote] Congrats!
  11. At what distance?
  12. Welcome to the group!
  13. [quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1353777301' post='850067'] All true. Wally's Ruger 10/22 receivers are assembled from recycled sardine cans in Taiwan, barrels are formed from ground bamboo impregnated with epoxy and unsmelted iron ore in Malaysia, all assembled by current descendents of Nazi war criminals in Argentina. And all the ammo sold there is actually rebranded Chinese manufacture. Even the Russian stuff. - OS [/quote] It really does none of us any good to propagate rumors like this. You and I both know that's all a bunch of crap. Except for the Nazi war criminals part. That's true.
  14.

Sooner or later I'm going to have to start issuing people Whiffle Ball bats and have them slug it out in TGO's Thunderdome if they can't stay away from each other in the threads.
  15. Mmmm... MATEN. That's the upper/lower receiver combo I've been thinking about matched up with one of Ranier Arms' 16" polygonally rifled barrels.
  16. [quote name='av88tor' timestamp='1353475042' post='849042'] Of course I will admit that I would like to sell you a safe over Dicks or TSC but if not I will let you know the biggest difference over the two locks your are talking about. The lock on the Cannon is a basic electronic lock that is fairly dependable, We do alot of the service work for Cannon and they stand behind the lock for a certain amount of time and will send us out to repair or replace a defective lock, matter of fact just replaced one last week for a customer. The mechanical lock on the Stack on is a lower quality mechanical lock and not the same quality as the Cannon. Security wise the Cannon is the better safe and if the Cannon was the same price that would be my choice. Hope this helps with your decision. TSH [/quote] That's good customer service right there!
  17. [quote name='HvyMtl' timestamp='1353443856' post='848850'] Came out in 1958. You post seems a little, pretentious. Not everyone get the chances you got. Or I got. Not everyone gets access. And not everyone gets a $50k job. Majority of us get paid less than $30k a year. Same level as during the Reagan Administration. So, cause they fear the loss of their job, they do not get to celebrate holidays, particularly one so specifically American in creation and importance? Sad. CONSUME. [/quote] Sorry but that's a bunch of relativist horse-crap. No one handed me my opportunities on a silver platter. I worked my ass off for them. Same as anyone else could. But thanks for discounting nearly 30 years of hard work and hard choices by saying I got a leg-up somehow.
  18. I made good choices starting about 30 years ago when my grades in school started really counting toward something. I made good choices about 23 years ago when I had to choose between going to college and applying myself or going out f'ing around with my slacker friends. I've continued making good, sometimes difficult decisions ever since then in my career. I've made some decisions that really sucked to endure and cope with but eventually put me in better a better place, employment wise. I've also had the rug pulled out from under me and had to work a less than appealing job or two in order to make sure my bills were paid and my family was taken care of. What I'm getting at is a lot of people working retail had a decision to make somewhere along the line. And while I am not advocating being completely unsympathetic to a person's plight ([i]there but by the grace of God go I[/i]) I am saying that there are essentially two groups of people in retail: (1.) those who chose the profession willfully and (2.) those who are just thankful they have a job. The first should understand that with a job in retail comes the tireless task of bending to the consumer's will which sometimes means working on days you'd rather be at home with your family. For the second, those folks aren't likely going to complain because they're doing what they have to do in order to make ends meet. And if they [u]are[/u] complaining, then maybe they should have made different choices along the way. So am I going shopping on Thanksgiving night? Probably so. Do I think it's a war on Thanksgiving? No. I'll be shopping with my family and it gets us in the holiday spirit.

    Well

    My XD-S is in my pocket right now. Stays there almost anytime I've got pants on.
  20. [size=6][b][color=#0000FF][font=times new roman,times,serif][i]How To Get Started as a Vendor on TGO[/i][/font][/color][/b][/size] Frequently I am asked by members how they can get started as a Vendor on TGO, or whether they can engage in a small sideline business just as a Benefactor. The answer to the first question is that it's pretty easy and a lot cheaper than you might think. The answer to the second question is no. Let me start with the issue of selling as a business using a [b]Benefactor[/b] account: The [url="http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/store/category/1-benefactor-subscriptions/"]TGO Benefactor[/url] account is an upgraded tier of membership for our folks who want to support the continued growth of TGO. In return for their generosity, they are given the ability to start and publicly reply to threads in our Trading Post forums where they can list items for Sale, Trade or Want to Buy. Benefactors are members who believe in this site and enjoy what we provide to the firearms owner and enthusiast. They are not businesses, although a business member can certainly support the site as a Benefactor if they wanted to. When a person engages in the act of making or building something, or providing a recurring supply of an item, to sell in our Trading Post forums, they are not operating within the spirit of what was intended for our Benefactor program. At that point they are a manufacturer, a retailer or a service provider and that falls into the realm of what is intended for our Vendor accounts. We realize that some folks may make holsters, tumble brass, fabricate knives, refinish firearms or provide other services as a sideline business. A pro-hobby if you will. However, once they engage in marketing that on TGO they simply do need to become a Vendor as they are competing [unfairly] in a space that our Vendors have the special privilege of operating within. [color=#0000ff][size=5][font=times new roman,times,serif][i][b]Vendor Accounts:[/b][/i][/font][/size][/color] TGO Vendors are businesses who support this site through one of several [i]tiers[/i] of membership. In exchange for their support, they are granted the privilege of advertising their goods and services through either promotional postings on the forum or several sizes of Banner Advertisements. A TGO Vendor account can start out for as little as the equivalent of $20 per month for a one year term. The various tiers go up from there, but a person who wants to engage in a sideline business can easily get started on TGO for less than the cost of one delivery pizza per month. I have frequently told people who are interested in becoming a Vendor that if their business plan doesn't provide for $240 a year in advertising costs, that they need to re-evaluate their business plan. Being completely honest here, that's dirt cheap advertising. It's cheaper than a box of business cards and is likely to generate a ton more business -- quickly -- for a person than any other means. Newspaper, radio, TV... all are astronomically more expensive than this. Just remember, we [u]do[/u] protect the investment that our Vendor partners have made in this site. We do not let anyone advertise commercial interest here without being a TGO Vendor and that does apply to Benefactor members as well. If you're providing recurring goods or services to our members and trying to do this as a Benfactor, your're doing it wrong. So there you have it. If you're interested in becoming a TGO Vendor, [url="http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/contact/"]contact me[/url] and we can get the ball rolling.

    bad day

    Hang in there, man. I know it seems like a trite, cliche thing to say ... but your mental strength and determination are what will allow you to eventually do things that your doctors and physical therapists tell you might not be possible. The human spirit is an incredibly powerful, wonderful and complex thing. Will keep you in my prayers.
  22. Have you tried the penny trick yet? Take aim, hold steady and have a partner balance a penny flat on the top of your front sight blade. Fire. If the penny falls before the primer ignites, you're flinching.
  23. GGS used to be a vendor here a while back. He since stopped supporting the forum at some point. I honestly don't recall the specifics of why.
  24. I don't have a budget. I'll spend whatever it takes to build a good one, but I am challenging myself to put a complete kit together, with good optics, for $3K or less.
  25. I'm not the [i]best[/i] shot in the world but I think you're flinching. Even if that gun's tolerances are at the outside of factory spec and it's so loose it rattles, your grouping should not be that wild. The only explanation I would accept for that being the firearm is if the sights are not only loose but each one mounted on a Slinky. Sorry. You're welcome to let me shoot it at the range sometime. Like I said, I'm not the best shot but even the worst 1911 I've ever fired had me grouping them a lot tighter than that.
