Snaveba

For some reason my wife did not find that joke funny

Maybe he was tired of the speech as was thinking of a way out?

But not Glocks, just red dot optics

Well, poor college students did not have cell phones. And yes I was in school in Jackson, MS in the late 80’s early 90’s.

Reminds me of a time in college when a buddy and I, after a few too many cold ones (and maybe some Jack) got my cruiser stuck down near the pearl river at about 1am. This was back in like 1993 so no cell phones. We had to hike to a pay phone where I called my GF (now wife). She called her dad, who lived near by and he shows up with two big come-alongs and about 30’ of chain. He dropped it off and said good luck. We had to hike back in, and manually pull the truck out. I don’t think he was too happy to bring us the equipment or have to deal with two muddy, drunk college students. We did try to start an old D7 that was near by before we hiked all the way out. In retrospect, I’m glad that did not work. I don’t think anything good would have resulted from us trying to drive a D7 dozer into the woods.

Hey, I take exception to that comment (being a native Nashvillian) . But it sure is expensive in Nashville as well. TBH, I couldn’t move here now. Luckily I bought my house 22.5 years ago.

I hope that was just a carport and storage area.

Prayers to his family.

Where are you finding 50 BMG (or 50 Beowulf) anywhere near $1.00 - $1.50 per round?

Had a similar thing happen some years ago with Leatherman. I had an old beat up leatherman multitool I ended up with after a drilling job. Ir had Boart-Longyear laser etched on the side and was already pretty used when I got it. Well, I dropped it off the side of a stack with the blade out (about 50+ feet) and wheh it hit the blade snapped completely off. I called Leatherman, explained what I said above, and asked if I coiuld buy a new blade to put on myself. They said, send it back to us and we will send you a new one. For the cost of one-way shipping, I had a brand new Leatherman multitool with the sheath. Great customer service.

Can you provide a link? I can not find not reference in a quick Google search.

Have not hunted with it, but I plan to try this next season. 6.5 Grendel. We will see what happens.

So that build above ended up Cerekoted (on another thread). I then rebuilt it again but for 6.5 Grendel. I took the barrel from the original build (that I will use with my cmmg 22LR conversion) and put together this sort of M16A2 clone bit with the carbine stock. I need to change the rear site to a carry handle. I might, but then I lose my option for easily mounting an optic.

I will cross post these photos to Show and Tell. I ended up rebuilding one rifle to shoot 6.5 Grendel. 20” type II barrel and BCG, low profile adjustable gas block. Added the bipod and moved a scope over from a different one. I took the barrel, the upper I bought for the “big bore” build, some other parts I had lying around, and a delta ring barrel nut donated by mikadosoft, and put together a sort of M16A2 clone but with a carbine stock. I really need a carry-handle rear sight to complete the look.

Welcome to the TGO, it ok we don’t bite.

Lucky find.

Where was that beauty hiding for the last 80+ years?

I assume this is in Rockvale, TN? That is a better price than I paid at Academy. I may need to head down there. So it is remanufactured?

What kind of deal on the 300BO? I am looking to beef up my supply.

You have to provide a SS# to eBay now. They will report yearly sales over $600 (for 2022)to the IRS as reportable income. it used to be on sales more than $20,000. I guess that loophole is now closed

There are 3 in GB at the moment. Range in price from $3300 to $8000. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/922907514 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/919167423 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/915448821

Possibly in Cuba?

Only took you 4 years…..

This was in Cool Springs, BTW.
