Sounds like he should have run over a few more of them. This is what happens when the general public is conditioned to "let the 'authorities' handle it". And are often prosecuted when they administer a well-deserved beat-down to some a-hole. This I a bit of a tangent, but does anyone remember 9/11/01? That would have NEVER happened if it weren't for the aforementioned conditioning to sit back and let the "authorities" handle things. If the first two-legged cockroach who stood up and started screeching 'allahu akbar' had received a knife blade in his brainstem (yes, you could still take a pocket knife on a flight back then. I had one in my pocket on a flight one month before that happened), the rest may have rethought their plan or suffered the same fate. Likewise with those worthless slimebags on those bikes. If one group of them got steamrolled by a jacked up 4x4 or ventilated by an AR, the next group likely wouldn't be so bold. Before somebody blows a gasket and claims that I'm comparing Sept 11 to this incident, I am not. I AM saying that this country has become a society of panty-waists, by design and by law, and this is a result of it. I better go to bed. I'm cranky. Will

I've said since I was young that the gene pool needs a healthy dose of chlorine.

Me neither, but by personal choice. :) My dad taught me how to repair and build all kinds of things when I was growing up. He could build practically anything. So I've taken what he taught me and added to it with my own experience. And hopefully, I can take my whole knowledge base and pass it on to my 8 month old so he can skip the basics and build his own, bigger skill base.

Doesn't that just power the flux capacitor? Cant remember. It's been a while since my quantum physics classes.

Thanks fellers. I've been checking Walmarts. No luck. I figured they'd ran out a while back. Guess I'll just use old copies and the website until the 2014 edition comes out. Thanks

Thanks for that link. I'll check it out. And I actually have been looking into wood gasification recently. Seems more viable. IIRC, people were using it during WWII because of fuel rationing.

Does anyone know if there are still any of Hodgdon's annual reloading manuals left on the shelf anywhere near Knoxville? I usually get one every year, but it slipped my mind until recently this year. Thanks, Will

If you're willing to spend a bit more time and money to get this one shooting, you may want to try cryo treating it. I have a Mini-30 that would walk the POI 3-4 inches at 25 yards. Yes, literally. It was predictable. It would move right and up. And make a "J" shaped group. I sent it to be cryo'ed and that improved it significantly. It still strings vertically, but not horizontally. And not as much vertically. It wasn't expensive. Maybe 50 bucks? Don't remember exactly.

It doesn't appear that anyone read the edit under the pic of the guy with the shotgun. "Edit: I was contacted by the individual pictured above. He is in the US Military, and for context, wanted to advise that this photo was taken in a Starbucks in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait in 2005. He did not request the photo be removed, just wanted to add context for this particular photo. -Casey" Sorry if I missed anyone else point it out.

I like Ballistic for calculating down range ballistics. Just looked for Shooter in the Apple App Store. Couldn't find it.

How about a budget AR with a .22 conversion? Ammo is showing back up. Not much .22 yet, but it will. I saw some 5.56 bulk ammo yesterday.

I'm in Knox. I'll be more than happy to come by and help you get started. My schedule is a bit tight, but I'm sure we could work it out.

Don't think so. If I recall correctly, they recalled Gray Davis. Then the Governator was elected (I liked him until he turned out to be a flaming RINO). And now it's Moonbeam Jerry Brown.

She is? They recalled a governor a few short years ago. Not that it would happen. Just curious.

You probably couldn't find a synthetic stick for it anyway. Most brands say they won't fit anything pre-181 series. A scope wouldn't be an easy feat either.

Awesome! Just ordered mine. Thanks for the heads up!

It does. Thanks. I'll be by that way today. I'll stop in and check.

Didn't make it this time. I kinda wanted to try to find a couple glock mags, but without knowing if I could find a good deal, I don't want to spend 9 bucks to find out.

I'll be there! Wearing my turbine too! Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow, baby! Edit: Sorry. ChuckTshoes already used the first joke that popped in my head.

I don't know. Rush Limbaugh was a judge for the Miss America pageant a couple years ago. Probably just as a token conservative, though.

Got pulled over for the same thing a few months ago. Except I had renewed the tags and forgot to put the sticker on. As she approached the window, I had my license and the sticker in my hand. She merely said "go put it on". I got out and stuck the sticker in my plate while she sat in her car and watched. No other questions, no frisk, no problem.

Apparently so.  But we probably won't see any cheap Russki Glocks for a while.   http://www.thebangswitch.com/russian-made-glock-pistols/

I don't think it is necessary to remove bluing.  It is a good idea to roughen the surface well.  As a matter of fact, anodized aluminum will take Duracoat very well.  And phosphated steel (Parkerized) is an excellent base for Duracoat because it's porous.   If you plan to do internals, you may want to do something besides Duracoat as it will change the dimensions of coated pieces.     I've done several guns with Duracoat.  Outsides only.  I think next time I am going to try Cerakote.  I've read that it's more involved, but better overall.

As others have said, costco is managed by leftists and supports leftists.  I can't help but remember the response letter I read several years ago in response to a customer's letter.  "We do not think the shopping experience is enhanced by carrying weapons" (paraphrasing, of course).  Those things are enough to make me anti-costco.  I will still occasionally shop at a business who halfheartedly makes an attempt to placate the sheep by posting a "no weapons" sign (like the Bearden Earthfare), but costco seems to go all out to make sure no one carries there.     Sams is good enough for me.  

Depends on the individual animal.  But most of them will stay away after a lesson like that.  Some agencies use paintball guns on habituated wildlife as "negative reinforcement".  That's not the term they use, but I can't remember it right now.     It works for most animals.  But there will occasionally be one that will keep coming back regardless.  When I was trapping bears one summer we caught one three times.  I suspect he may have been addicted the the drug we used to tranquilize them.   Will
