Me either!   I just got a new flip phone at the Verizon store in Gallatin about a month ago. It wasn't on display, but I asked for one, and the salesman got one from the back. It was $40 with no contract! It works great. I only have to charge it once weekly.

I'll have to take exception with this remark. When I fire a gun, I own the bullet leaving the barrel in perpetuity. I see no reason why a badge would relieve one from this responsibility. Winded, wounded, etc., he still fired; he's responsible for what gets hit.

We currently have a thread in the loung about making homemade explosives. Surely most of us are on one or more watchlists. Do you all see this sort of thing happening to some of us in the future?

No, but it does sound interesting. I assume it's a 7.62x25 necked down to 6.5 cal?

A wooden dowel or muzzleloader ramrod; (size depending on caliber) and a hammer usually works for me.   For lead bullets, I have a bullet puller that screws into my muzzleloader ramrod. It is nothing more than the shank of a wood screw, with the other end threaded to screw into the head of the ramrod.

Is that the gun that fires ear plugs?

My kid had to produce more information to play in the Little League All Star Tournament this year than if he were applying for a mortgage. 3 proofs of residence, a school report card, etc. It would take some serious doing to have an ineligible kid slip through the process.   I do enjoy the Little League games more than pro ball. Those kids give it all they've got.   My oldest son's Senior League team made it to the state playoffs last year. That's as close as we've come to the world series.   I did go watch my niece play in a softball world series in Gadsden Alabama several years back.

Understood. I've never priced shopped them, mainly because they are the only game in town if you want service a lot of places I go.

That was what; a $3000 rifle a year or two back? :shake: :shhh:

What you could do is to cut a piece of masking tape the size of the head of a round of ammunition, and stick it over the primer. See if the bolt will fully close with the round chambered. If it will, add another piece of tape and try it again. It probably shouldn't close on more than about three pieces of tape applied. This isn't scientific, but will give you a general idea of headspace on your rifle.   I don't normally check the headspace on a rifle unless I have some reason to be suspect of it.

If you read the law closely, you'll find that it is now your duty to strap on a pistol and immediatly proceed to the nearest Wal Mart for your inaugural "WallyWorld Walk". :up:

What's wrong with Verizon? I used them for years, and am quite happy with their service thus far.

What were they protesting in Murfreesboro?

I'd bet that if you could hide the name brands on those three rifles, no AR snob would be able to tell one from the other just from handling and firing them.

Sissies! :rofl:

Your local title company "operated by a lawyer" should be able to walk you through the process. They'll print a standard contract, run a title search, and have a plethora of paperwork for both of you to sign. Other than that, deciding whether the buyer, seller, or both pays for this will likely be your biggest worry.

I don't live around rioting/looting type people.

I don't currently have a dedicated varmint rifle. The only one I ever had was a heavy barrel pre 64 Winchester in 220 Swift. If you can find one, and assuming it isn't out of your budget, I can highly recommend them.

If you've ever made one, you'll understand that his prices are VERY reasonable.

Muscle memory and training your non dominant eye to focus on sights and target will be your greatest obstacle. I'm left handed, and aside from a muzzleloader with the hammer on the other side, I've never owned a left handed gun. I have installed a few ambi safeties however.

That's what I was thinking. Time to find a new home.   A guy I work with kills several rattlesnakes in his yard each year. I told him there was something he could plant int he yard to help the situation......A For Sale sign! :panic:

Sounds like a charming neighborhood indeed! :huh:   To tell the truth, I wouldn't be real excited about a bunch of people I didn't know tromping around my neighborhood waving gun either. :shrug: Would you?   I'm about ready for the open carry crowd to quit "helping".

You did well in my opinion. As long as I didn't see them have a gun, they wouldn't have seen mine either. Nothing wrong with getting a grip on it in case things went sour.   A great thing about pocket carry is while you look like you're just standing around playing pocket pool, you are in a quite advantageous situation to protect yourself should the need suddenly arise.

I sort of hope he comes back as a moderator. That would be interesting. :stir: :devil:

Dangerous and unusual? Care to show me a rifle today that is more "usual" than an AR15? :ugh:
