Thanks guys for the information, observations and to chucktshoes for the video. A lot to learn, and I'm not stupid enough to think that's all. I hope. Anyone wanna chime in with thoughts and recommendations...please do. Lesson Question 1. Slings do/do not usually come with attachment hardware? Lesson Observation 1. Looks like a 2 point for a novice like me.

Thanks. That's what the guy from Classic Firearms is touting this morning. What about single vs double attachment point slings? Just individual preference, or valid differences in them?

Well, if I don't have to go out and fight them...lol. We have experienced two really bad times with them. Both involved our dogs. A long haired Chow was for some reason just like catnip for a cat to them. Cody would venture out and just be attacked by them. It was miserable for her. the critters seemed attracted to her fur. We spent a long summer trying to keep her clean. She would just roll around on the ground trying to get them off, so crushed cicada guts and long black hair was not a good combination we found. The second time, the first actually,(I got my times in reverse) was with a pair of Huskies. One long hair and one short hair pair. They absolutely loved to chase and crunch on the cicadas. Seemed to like the taste of them apparently. But it left them with horrible smelling breath! Our Molly, a Border Collie mix, has never seen them. I don't know what to expect from her. EDITED Hmmm. Looking at the above chart, thanks xsubsailor, Nashville area might not be bad. Actually might miss out until 2024. But that's just my guesswork looking at the projections on that map.

Very sad, but not totally unexpected news. Prayers for the families and loved ones of these sailors.

Done!

I know of Law Tactical, at least by name, but what about this Sylvan line? Anyone? The one thing that does seem to stand out about the Sylvan is that it doesn't lock in the open/folded position. Does Law T? Is that really important except for stowing and carrying in a bag?

Buddy...you are ahead of me. I have none.

Well, new to the sling idea for AR style rifles/pistols. Really looking for thoughts/ideas for a novice. Types. Brands. Costs. Basically anything you might have to tell. Thanks.

I can't say that I fully agree with you on PSA's pricing, but I guess it depends on what you are after. Yes, the transfer and tics fees can add up on a lower purchase if you buy online, but the only place that I know has a few in stock(Anderson btw, has a price you would not believe...hold on here. 349 each. And selling all he can get. I've had good luck with all I've bought from them...so far. lol. But I agree they aren't top shelf products, but not bottom either. Good enough for a wannabe operator like me though. I'll look into Bear Creek. I've heard the name, but have no knowledge of them.

Amen brother! I'm very glad that I listened to Tad(b-i-l) some years ago, and bought some LPK kits, a few OOPs kits, a couple of economy trigger kits(and the expensive one I mentioned above), some BCGs and a few charging handles. Did backtrack and buy a couple of cheap, but decent looking BUIS sets. They are metal rather than plastic. Don't remember the brand at the moment. Also several different handgrips and forward hand stops. Nothing real expensive, but it all adds up. I do regret not taking advantage of the lower pricing on complete uppers last year. Still might find something to interest me. As I go thru boxes, I keep finding other things. Maybe there's an upper in one of them. lol

Done that. And have the T-shirt labeled "slow and stupid" to boot!

What's that nice looking turntable? Been thinking I might upgrade mine. Don't ask what it is or how old...too embarrassing to tell.

I don't think I have before...but I will be now. I like it. Good music for bouncing around in my office here at 11:56. It's waking me up! Blusey and swing notes. Good stuff here! Well...the more I listen, the more style I hear. Now got some rockabilly in it.

Yes, I got that email as well. I've been waiting to get a cheap complete 16" upper from them, but the price has started going up instead of down again. I bought my last lower from Royal Range, but that's been over a year ago. Found a Spikes Crusader for 99. About all I could afford that day. Still have it. Rolling around in my head is a planned "tribute" rifle to my late brother-in-law. He was always telling me I should have an 18 or 20 inch barreled rifle. Maybe I will get around to it. Have pretty much all needed for the Spikes...good LPK, better trigger than I'd normally have bought, a good set of Troy sights, my NIB BCG, and my BCM Charging Handle. Darn close to being there. lol Got an email for Thunder Ranch complete uppers today. They look pretty good. 700 */- for the upper, depending on add goodies. I didn't really like the hand guards though. I keep coming back to the old MagPul stuff. Just old school I guess. Not able to spend that right now though. Had to replace AC/Heat Pump unit last week and I'm broke. My SS check sure didn't cover it! Might have to offer another pistol or 2 to offset my lost cash!

Mostly I do that. But personally like to wash towels and bedding in hot water. Just a little phobia.

Gotten almost exactly 4 years each out of consecutive GE washers. Last purchase was a Maytag. It runs like a rod is about to come thru it. But only on the Hot cycle. On Cold... it's ok.

No thanks. Don't drink beer, and rarely anything else.

Thanks for the new temptation. I'm sure got to find one now.

Menu photos making me hungry. But what's and Arepa?

I may have, but I cannot remember ever eaten a Bojangles meal.

So much I want to say here...but will do several things that are bad for me. One, I'll be labeled as a racist. Two, I'll be accused of wanting genocide. So only a few comments. I cannot fathom some of the statements made in this video. Burn the city down? Ok...go ahead Your home is there too. It's gone. Where will you go? Run back to white government and scream for more houses to live in? Where will your food and money come from? Rioters/looters are only taking are only taking things out of frustration and are just going to destroy it all to make a point? Bull***t! When you break into a business and carry out shopping carts of merchandise, pull up cars and load them up...that's not frustration. That's theft. Yeah, I saw all the tv sets, clothing, shoes, and cases of liquors set afire in the streets. Did all that just to show how much you care about Floyd, Breianna and the others. Sure makes a strong statement. Kill all the whites to end racism? Wow. That's just incredible. Where will those two females end up in that situation? Start a civil war? Nuts. There might be an eradiation of some, starting with all the street corner loudmouths threatening restaurant patrons and owners, vandals and looters; but a whole race? You seriously do not want to start that ladies. It just might not go as you would think or like.

Right on all counts! Mickey's breakfast platter is good. The biscuits and McMuffins are good if not too burnt. I like Arbys and Sonic. Wish we had a Whataburger here! Wendy's...I like it, but my wife refuses to eat anything from them. And I hate sesame seed buns!!!

As an Old Road Warrior, I ate McDonalds so frequently it was just absurd. However, back in the dim past...the 80s/90s, it was at least cheap(er) than now. I could get a Quarter Pounder Meal for 2.99. That at least made it reasonable for a quick lunch out on the road that I could eat between stops. I later started going to Burger King for much the same reasons, but I thought the food was a bit better. At least it had some flavor to it. But as Erik88 says, today the fast food meals are 9-12 bucks at the same burger places. On occasion, I'll get that Mickey D craving and stop in. Then I remember why I had stopped...still the same cardboard-like flavor in the meals. And still not even cheap.

Decent show, especially for it's time. Hated Robert Vaughn. Loved David McCallem.

What a humble, and caring man. His story is amazing, yet only one of many from our Greatest Generation. Watch some of the other Medal of Honor videos at he end of his. They are wonderous tales of brave men.
