Capbyrd

One and Only was okay when I tried it but not great. Baby Jacks is great. I don't even need sauce with their meat. I love Baby Jacks! I haven't tried WH but I've been meaning to.

That's surprising about Cupboard. I never suffer to have enough food and their prices are cheap. Tops is garbage though so I'm not surprised you weren't blown away.

The TSA actively fought against us getting automatic knives in the state too. They testified that a switchblade made the same sound as a pump shotgun being racked and was just as dangerous.

BRISKET IS NOT BBQ!!!! The Cupboard is good. It is in no way convenient for me and I despise heading in that direction but I try to get down there a few times a year. It's worth it.

TN receives about 40 percent of it's general revenue from the federal government. If you think that the folks in Nashville are willing to give up 40 percent of the state's income over gun legislation, I think you don't understand politics. What are WE supposed to do? WE are supposed to handle this at the polls. And if that doesn't work, then WE go to war. But dreaming that the state might, well that's just dreaming.

I want that!

That’s cool. It won’t happen again.

You should verify all of your gauges are to spec. And then they should be periodically checked with use. Trust, but verify! Magpul's Bevblock is a good little tool. I have one as well. But for high torque work, it does not come close to locking all of the parts together the way that the MURR does. The MURR also provides a lot more surface area of contact in addition to four positions. In the case of a stubborn barrel nut, Bev blocks have been known to break receivers. Unfortunately no one tool does everything and the more jobs we give a tool, the worse it does them all. I'm a proponent of having ALL the tools so I say get them all!

That makes more sense. I was hoping you found a secret that you were going to share with us all!

I'll try and remember to shoot it this week.

SBRs require a federal background check that the ATF sends to the FBI. If the shop sold you an SBR without sending an ATF Form 4, you and the shop are both asking for trouble.

No time? What target?

I made it through without having to go to any stores or rely on outside assistance for anything. I went to work most days. I'd say that I was prepared enough this time but that's about all.

I've never touched one so I can't say for certain. But I believe that the top half rides inside the bottom half so that probably helps to alleviate some of the possibility for slide bite.

That's the point of the thread. Do some research and find something you never knew existed. It's fun.

My original answer was and still is going to be the M1916 red nine broom handle. But the Webley-Fosbery autococker is too cool not to mention for a second place pick.

If you have to replace your EDC with a pistol that has not been in production since before you were born, what would it be? version differences don’t count.

You should do stand up.

What I mean is that local law enforcement from the state level down will never physically stop a federal law enforcement official in this state. That would be war between the levels of government and the state would lose every time. Sanctuary laws are feel good laws. That's it.

How did you buy an SBR in 45 minutes? I need to know your secret.

That's not how this works.

The state will never go to war with the federal government. So the language that already exists is your best bet. Now, several years back they passed the TN Firearms Freedom Act. It protects TN manufactured objects from local prosecution. But make a machine gun tomorrow and see how much that FFA actually does to protect you. These are feel good laws that don't actually accomplish anything.

A lawsuit is dispute filed in a court for adjudication.

I haven’t used sketchup but tinkercad is also free and very easy to use. A bit limited but quite powerful for a free web based program.

I thought I'd share a couple of my non firearm but firearm related projects as well. Here are a couple of simple rail covers. This particular pistol came with two uppers, one in 5.56 and one in 300blk. I wanted a quick identifier and this was a fun little project. I could have made them sleeker but I was going for fast and simple. This picture has some of my tools in it. The punch blocks in the back were the first thing I designed on my own and printed. It was really cool to take something that didn't exist and create it in the computer and make the computer spit it out as a tangible object. Plus I got to learn some really basic 3D modeling. In front of that on the right is a Glock sight pusher. I've used it on two slides with great success. It has held up really nicely. It's not a perfect design but for the 7 bucks that I have into it, it works really well. The front left is an AR15 bolt vise. This is one of the most used tools on my workbench. The ejector must be removed to use a standard headspace gauge in an AR. The screw pushes the ejector in while the rest holds the bolt still so you can drive out the roll pin. Both this and the sight pusher were designs that I got off the internet but on this one, I didn't like the original design. The original design has a solid screw to push against the ejector. I found that it always wanted to push the bolt out of the jig and sometimes was harder to use. So I modified the design of the screw. I made it so that I could use a threaded insert with a wobble head and that fixed the issues I was having. I really like this design but I'm working on my own. I want to redesign the vise body to better hold and support the bolt.
