Man, I'll bet a 25acp is an aggravating little bugger to load! 9mm is borderline too small for me.

I wouldn't consider that safe for most normal applications....and it IS still a 2 stage trigger.

Looks good to me! :up:

Depends on what I'm carrying. 380s are small and tedious to load, so I carry factory ammo. If I'm carrying a 38 or 45, they'll likely have handloads in them.

If you want a really good trigger, you have to buy another type rifle than an AR 15.

You guys give me hope for the future of our country.   Everything I have I owe to Jesus, and my wife. A good wife will pat you on the back when it's deserved, and put a foot to your hind end when it's appropriate as well.   Oh yeah.....28 is a LOOOOOOOOONG way back in my rear view mirror!

I would say a Geissele trigger isn't a necessity on an AR, but they do make them easier to shoot well, and more enjoyable to shoot. If that's worth $150-200 to you, go for it. If you are quite budget conscience, you can get by with a less expensive trigger. As other have stated, if you buy one and don't like it, it wouldn't be difficult to resell.

If you would have stayed on the line, I'm guessing she WAS with the NRA, and would have hit you up for money shortly.

:rofl: Good point! I believe my creator would refer to this as hypocrisy, and takes a very dim view of it.

I haven't carried a bolt rifle into the woods in several years now. I'm starting to get away form scopes as well. As I'm on the downhill side of 40, however, the iron sights era will likely be short lived.

I find I'm not quite finished......     What gives you the "right" to healthcare, food, or any other valuable commodity?   I may agree you have the "right" to purchase it at market prices, but it costs money, time, energy, and effort to develop and produce. Without the promise of financial gain for doing so, few people would produce food, healthcare, etc. This where your thinking is flawed. Government produces nothing; it only sucks from productivity like a leech. It cannot mandate the development nor production of any good or service.

This is the first thing competitive in nature I've ever entered that required firing a gun. I definitely suck at it, but it has piqued my interest. I hope you get another one together at some point. :up:

What you are describing is precisely communism. I can't believe someone is on a gun forum, of all places, spouting this garbage.   Communism would be a beautiful thing if people weren't inherently sorry. That being said, the only way to motivate the average human is to reward productivity. "The resources" do NOT belong to everybody. Some people SHOULD have better healthcare, better food, and better doctors simply because they got off their @ss and produced enough to be able to afford these luxuries if they so desire.   If you work 6 days a week, and I lay my fat behind on the sofa watching Jerry Springer all day, what gives me the right to a portion of the fruit of YOUR labor?       Perhaps you'd be more into something written by Marx?

Well..........if police said it...... :shrug:     :shake: What the hell do they teach in journalism school these days?

Looks like it's gonna shoot! :up:   Nothing wrong with a lever rifle, I don't care what anybody says.

For those of you who listen to talk radio, Phil Valentine has a part in the upcoming third installment.

Yes. I've seen the first two, and intend to see the third. While the book should be required reading in high school, the movie was better than I expected. I did find it odd that each of the first two parts contained totally different casts.

I think my last tent I found on clearance at Kmart. I've been very happy with it, and it is several years old, and has been used several times. My son and some friends used it just last week.

I'd go with a cheap "on sale" tent to see if she likes it. As everyone else says, get one rated for more than two people. Those ratings are based on newborn people sizes. They also don't take into account for other stuff you'd want in the tent besides you and her.   I tried to acclimate my wife to camping, and it just didn't take. We tried a tent, a larger tent, cots, air mattresses, and finally a pop up camper. Unless I could tow around a Holiday Inn, she just doesn't like camping.   Don't spend a fortune on the front end. Most inexpensive tents today do a decent job of shedding water. That's about all you could expect of a tent.

My goodness! This isn't easy. I've gotten in a lot of practice today, however. Thanks for posting. Mechanic_X has already destroyed this one, but I thought you all could laugh at it anyway.

[url=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/100yd_zps27215583.jpg.html][/URL] As for the 50 yard target, I'm still working on it. I can barely see the tiny diamonds. You're welcome to laugh, giggle, or whatever at my feeble attempts here, but if you do, I ask that you post a picture of what a target should look like. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/50yd_zps46f41e3a.jpg.html][/URL] I give on the 50 yard target. Everywhere I've had my eyes checked, I'm told better than 20/20, but I simply can't see the tiny diamonds form that far. Let's see em guys!

     http://www.midwayusa.com/product/974498/lee-powder-funnel-22-to-45-caliber   You got one of these?   YOu can stick the mouth of your case to the bottom of the powder measure, and throw a charge directly into a primed case. Pour it from the case into the pan of your scale if you want to check the charge weight, and you'll need a funnel like the one above to put the powder back into the case. You could also pour it in the top of the expander die while belling the case mouth, but I never do it that way.   Don't you have a reloading manual?

I'll try some different ammo if it ever becomes available again. The group posted was shot with CCI Maxi Mag +V. I have some old Winchester HPs that shoot better, but didn't have it out there at the same time as the camera. They print about 1 1/2", and I have the scope adjusted to them. I also have some sort of 30 something grain Remingtons. They don't do very well.

It doesn't take long to figure out that not only is everyone NOT staring at you, 99% of them wouldn't notice if you were wearing a skirt and had an AK47 duct taped to your forehead.

I've always used a dye before I applied tru oil. The dye brings out the grain in the wood. The tru oil finishes and seals it, as well as making it shiny.
