I just called to get a renewal application....
gregintenn replied to gregintenn's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Should be the 4th of November, no? Nov4-Dec4=1 month Dec4-Jan4=2 months Jan4-Feb4=3 months Feb4-Mar4=4 months Mar4-Apr4=5 months Apr4-May4=6 months Did I do that wrong? -
My tops are usually shot at that time as well. I'd guess around $40 for a resole, but that is strictly a guess. A call to your local shoe repair store would probably in order to know for sure.

[quote name='gjohnsoniv' timestamp='1352954978' post='845922'] But that's not right! It's a Prius! There is no way a BMW is better! I always have wondered how good for the environment are those batteries that only last a limited amount of time? [/quote] What does it cost to dispose of all these batteries once they've run their life cycle? If you figure the cost of the Prius, along with the fact that the battery is good for 100k miles and costs about $10k to replace, making it a disposable car at that point, you'll never come close to breaking even financially as opposed to buying a conventional car. I guess saving the planet feels good though, huh?

With all of the talk about civil unrest and secession...
gregintenn replied to Links2k's topic in General Chat
I remember the world was going to end new year's 2000, when Bush was elected, etc. It isn't good, but this too will pass. -
I usually get 3-4 years out of a pair of Red Wings. 1 year is a good life for other brands.

First Attempt at a Molded Holster.
gregintenn replied to gjohnsoniv's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I just run mine under hot tap water until moist enough to mold. When you get bored with this, try tooling leather next. -

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352927066' post='845684'] I wonder.... What if we do have secession...What if the Federal government collapses under the weight of its own idiocy...What if we do have a second American Revolutionary War...What then? The real problem with our country is not really in Washington D.C.; it's in the hearts of the people...you can have revolution after revolution but when the last shot is fired you still have the people and the people, not the "politicians" and not the "unions" and not the "lobbyists"; its' the PEOPLE who are the problem. The first American Revolution worked NOT just because we defeated the British; it worked because we had strong, independent minded people who were capable and WILLING to take care of themselves and men of exceptional principles and morals who were willing to be servant-leaders. [/quote] I could not agree more. You can't get most lazy fat Americans to get out of their car and walk into McDonald's to get a Big Mac; they'd rather grab it from the car window. If there was a revolution; who'd fight it? And as Robert said, "Then what?" Till the peoples' sentiment is changed by some catostrophic event, we are pizzing in the wind discussing things like this. -
[quote name='Symbolic' timestamp='1352909218' post='845471'] He's fighting for what he believes is right. Isn't that what we've been taught to do? It's understandable that it gets annoying when people don't shut up about things. A carbon tax for big industries is probably a good thing in the end. [/quote] No he isn't. Al is an a$$, but he isn't stupid. He is trying to create a market; a ponzi scheme if you will. He has found a pretty sllick way to get rich off the backs of stupid people. All he needs is a law passed, and he's in. Did you see a couple of years back when the news reported that his average electricity bill at his one home in Brentwood was several thousand a month? Hypocrite?

First Attempt at a Molded Holster.
gregintenn replied to gjohnsoniv's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I've learned that you almost have to use an airbrush to get an even coat of the tan dye. Brown is much easier. As for the black, I like Feibing's USMC black. You'll think it isn't dry, and it'll look dull and come off on your hands, but you can buff it with a shoe brush, and it'll slick right up and get rid of whatever accumulates when it dries. Leather dyes are funny, and each one has unique characteristics. I have a navy dye, and it appears greenish blue until you buff it. -
Scope Mounting - Need Help
gregintenn replied to MiddTennTaco's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I wouldn't think you would have an eye relief problem, but in case you do, Weaver makes offset mounts to accomoday short scopes, incorrect eye relief, etc. As for the torque, just turn the screws good and tight without trying to twist the heads off. I've mounted close to 100 scopes, and never used a torque driver, and never had any problems. Chill out...you are way overthinking this. Let us know how the Ruger shoots. Oh yeah, you'll probably need high rings for that monster scope. -
Clayton was actually the Democrat nominee. You may remember the Democrat party tried to kick him off the ballot after he slipped in and won the primary.
-
I voted for Mark Clayton!

Sorta reminds me of all the celebrities and other assorted fools who were going to leave the country if Bush won the 2000 election. Didn't happen. I actually think we'd be better off without the likes of Rosie Odonnell, Roseanne Barr, Alec Baldwin, et al.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352737017' post='844298'] Population of the Chicago Metro: 9.7 Million Population of Illinois: 12.9 Million [/quote] Okay.....I blame the majority of the people in Chicago.

I'm living on the side of the river I prefer to be on. I don't see much reason why I'd want to cross it in the event of an emergency.

[quote]My problem isn't with the people of Illinois; it's with the politicians who RUN the state and who operate it as if it's a soviet state...[/quote] Aren't these politicians elected, re-elected, etc. by the majority of the people if Illinois? I blame the people.

[quote name='Jonnin' timestamp='1352729419' post='844247'] Ya think? This is one of my favorites... Its generally rude but not "adult" so you were warned if you click! [url="http://dontevenreply.com/view.php?post=104"]http://dontevenreply...ew.php?post=104[/url] [/quote] Thanks for sharing that site! I'm setting here in tears reading the email exchanges there. Funniest stuff I've seen in some time. -
what was it like in 2008? (run on ammo/reloading supplies)
gregintenn replied to vujade's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Prices were inflated, and shelves were bare save for a few boxes of bird shot. I recall one guy at the Nashville gunshow selling 380 ammo for $100 per box. I vowed to never buy anything from that jerk then or ever. -
Assuming it is a 1" tube, and an older Denver made Redfield, you have a fine scope.
-
Are you getting a group, or just firing one shot? I'd shoot three and check the group size. I'd first look at the scope mount, and if it is secure, I'd suspect the scope.

You can find about any type climate or terrain you'd like. West Tennessee is flat as a good billiards table, Middle Tennessee is rolling hills, while Mountains dominate East Tennessee. Beautiful lakes and rivers, an abundance of wildlife, and ever changing weather make Tennessee about as tolerable as anywhere I've been.

try a piece of 0000 steel, or if you can find it, brass wool, with oil. Mag wheel polish will remove any swirls or unsightly marks.

Can the Commodores get a little respect now? That was a helluva a game tonight!!!
