Us? No. I disagree that it is us. It shouldn't matter if we elect Gumby, Santa, or Hugo Chavez to office. As long as they obey the law, which is the U.S. Constitution, it shouldn't make any difference at all who is in the office. The problem is those who ignore the law (the aforementioned U.S. Constitution). Unfortunately....

They have been around a long time. I have one for a 1911 in .460 Rowland. .460 R is basically a high-pressure 45 ACP with a lengthened case so it cannot be chambered in a regular .45 ACP or a .45 Super. Unfortunately, mine is not very reliable. I bet that it is more because of the frame than the upper. I would love to have one for a Glock frame, but it just isn't in the budget right now. Will

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1355097149' post='857444'] 18.5" carbine to pistol grip part of rifle stock is about 28", so a 16" in a Charger stock is gonna be iffy, seems. 16" barrel in a Butler Creek would be about 25" or less, folded, so yeah, if space saving is the object here, it's a better option, especially since you can shoot it with the butt stock too. - OS [/quote] Oooh, my calculations weren't correct. I've only used a Butler Creek with an [b][u]18+"[/u][/b] barrel. If it is only ~25" with a 16" barrel, is it legal? Will

[quote name='RED333' timestamp='1355098967' post='857464'] and the best part, MONEY SAVING!!! [/quote] Money saving? Not for me. BUT, I can shoot more and more interesting ammo. Will

I would. If I thought it would actually make a difference. However, I believe that these "Taking Comments" periods are purely for show. They're going to do whatever they think that they can get away with regardless of what we say. Will

If the barrel is 16" AND the overall length is 26", that's legal. If it were me, though, I'd put it in a folding stock, like the Butler Creek. http://www.cabelas.com/10-22-accessories-butler-creek-folding-stock-ruger-10-22-1.shtml Will

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1355041943' post='857142'] I’d be curious to see the statistics on this. Is “armor piercing” an issue that needs to be dealt with? Have there been Police Officers shot though their vests with armor piercing rounds? [/quote] It sounds to me from reading the article that the Bat-feys are angling to control ANY round capable of penetrating body armor. This would include most centerfire rifle rounds, some of which have been used to penetrate officers' vests.

For some reason, I've always preferred a magnum revolver over an autoloader for walking in the woods and wandering around the farm. Gould and Goodrich used to make a nice nylon belt holster with leather or suede lining. It's pretty solid. I can't find it on their website, but they may be still out there somewhere. It's what I carry my .41 mag Blackhawk in. Will

[quote name='Murgatroy' timestamp='1354584518' post='854550'] No, you have the timeline messed up. The TV show is in line with the comics, just telling it differently. Woodbury was at the prison. When Rick lost his hand. Michonne chopped up the Governor. The TV show is just telling it in a different way, with new characters. The Governor in the comics was Brian, Philip's brother who wanted to be like Philip, but was weak. He was a sadist, and an evil man. That is not who Philip is. The Governor in the TV series. [/quote] Ok, thanks. Like I said, it's been a while since I read them. [quote]Yes in the comix there is a second town in the suburbs of Washington DC, some of the survivors eventually make it to after the prison is over-run. That is where Rick is made sheriff. Unless the show very suddenly goes from fabulously popular to "nobody watches" am guessing they will eventually get there, unless the author decides something else would make a better TV story.[/quote] And thanks, Lester. That's what I was thinking of. I was confusing myself. Will

Ok, someone please refresh me. I read the comics through about issue 96, I think. But that has been a while. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!! Isn't the TV show sort of combining two different parts in the comics? In the comics, I remember the run-in with a nutcase in charge of a sort-of town while Rick's group were at the prison. Where they had gladiator fights, they cut off Rick's hand and Michonne chopped up the leader. BUT, didn't the town of Woodbury come AFTER they were run out of the prison? Where Rick was made the local Peace Officer, Andrea was a tower sniper and Rick's group surreptitiously got their weapons from the armory "just in case"? Am I remembering wrong?

As is Corker, but he won the primary and re-election by a ton. What was it, 70 or 80%?

[quote name='Lester Weevils' timestamp='1354397079' post='853483'] The way the AWB mag capacity limits got phased in, and grandfathered to only ban new construction, either the mag selling companies had massive over-stock already, or they got busy and had a crap-load of new mags manufactured fast before the law took effect. Does anyone know which way it was? [/quote] The manufacturers had really ramped up and tried to crank out as many as possible. This is one reason that some manufacturers had a poor reputation. For example, USA mags. I have a USA Mini-14 mag that they made well before the ban and it is good quality. Never jammed. As the ban loomed closer, some makers let QC slip in favor of mass quantity. Then, of course, the sellers jacked up the prices to levels that most people, like myself, were unwilling to pay. So that massive stock of overpriced, underquality mags sat in warehouses and on shelves. Will

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354166328' post='852301'] Well, it's to use as a, you know, pick. Pick and shovel. [img]http://www.survivalcampingstore.com/assets/images/stansportpickshovel.jpg[/img] - OS [/quote] Well, yeah. I guess so. But I never found a good use for it. I would rather have the saw edge. I might need the pick if I was digging foxholes, to loosen rocks and such. But for digging fireline, I just need to get TO the soil. Will

The good ol' E-tool. The US Forest Circus put a longer handle on them and called them a combi-tool for fighting fires. They don't have the saw edge (but they should), the can opener or the nail puller. But they do have a nifty pick or spike opposite the shovel blade. Why? I don't know. Actually, those appear to be engineered better than ours. The nut would constantly loosen and need retightening. That might be handy enough to keep in my truck.

Honestly, I don't care who I offend. If one if the things I mention happens to fit you, then you need to learn how to drive. If you can't keep your vehicle from randomly crossing the center line, you're a moron. If you tailgate me when I'm not the one slowing traffic, you're a moron. If you tailgate me just because you're too dense to get in the left lane and pass me, you're a moron. If you hang out in the left lane right beside someone who is in the right lane, you're a moron. If you pass me in the left lane and dart in front of me when it would have been easier for both of us if you had just gotten in behind me, you're a moron. If you make a left turn from the right lane (or primary lane, when there is a turn lane), you're a moron. Same goes for right turns from the left. I've only scratched the surface of the idiocy that I see on the road. We on this forum constantly harp and chide others for doing stupid things with firearms, and rightly so. But far too often poor, dangerous driving just elicits a "meh". I speak of the public in general and not necessarily here. But cars carry far more killing potential than do even the most powerful firearms. Put it this way... If a cop spots me carrying a gun in my hand while I'm strolling down the sidewalk in town, he's going to at least stop and see what I'm up to. However, if he spots someone 5 feet from my bumper on I-40 at 60 mph, chances are he'll ignore it. Speeding, on the other hand, which isn't necessarily dangerous in and of itself, is often grounds for a blue light. Society tends to dismiss road deaths as the "cost of doing business". Or lawmakers try to idiot-proof vehicles instead of taking the idiots out of them. We wouldn't even need to wear seatbelts if everyone would just drive like they have half a brain. Can you tell this a sore subject for me?

He shouldn't be in jail. He should be in the morgue. The woman and/or her husband should have ventilated him in self-defense. Stupid sonofa... I don't think I would have kept my cool enough to blue light him. If he shot at my wife, I'd be doing my best to "stop" him whether it be with my car or gun.

Troy makes one as well. http://troyind.com/%20/rail-systemsaccessories/rails/ar15m16-rails/free-float-rails/troy-alpha-rail®-9″-no-sight I haven't used it, but it will probably be next one I use. Edit: Oops, it's not a two piece, so it will only work if you have a low-profile gas block.

I doubt you'll see much velocity gain in a 24" versus a 20" barrel. It is a handgun round after all and designed for a handgun length barrel. Were it me, I'd go with a 16" barrel. Much handier. The advantages of the longer barrel are sight radius and ammo capacity, assuming it has a full-length tube. The advantages of a shorter barrel are weight and handiness. I wouldn't factor in velocity. I do like longer barrels in full size rifle cartridges. If I were considering a .308 Win., I'd go with a 20" or longer barrel. But not with a .45 Colt.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1353436799' post='848798'] That's an authorization to deputize United States Attorney personnel; not politicians. People have been driving for over a hundred years and we don't have a Federal Vehicle Code because the states can't agree. They won't agree on handgun carry either. [/quote] True, but I can legally drive the vehicle that is parked in my driveway in any city of any state in the U.S. with my TN DL. As far as I know, anyway.

I doubt that he loses much business, if any. If I sold Twinkies... no, bad example. If I sold coal furnaces and coal... oops, 'nother bad example. Ok, ok. If I sold big screen HDTVs and beer, I would consider that a bad business move. But not a gun store. Honestly, I would not sell a gun or ammo to an Obama voter, either. They have clearly demonstrated a considerable lack of judgement.

Like others, I hope the CGI isn't too OTT. In movies, I can usually tell if the zombies are real or not.

Your thinking process is right on. I read an article a while back where the author compared the accuracy of soft point bullets with proper tips and deformed tips. The messed up tips really did affect accuracy. I don't remember if he polished some to perfection and compared those to factory. IIRC, when he cut off the deformed tips, the accuracy returned. As far as small dimples and dings, I think if you were a world class shooter shooting at 600+ yards, you would see a difference in accuracy between out-of-the-box and polished tips. But then you wouldn't be using soft tips anyway. I'm a bit OCD myself about some things, so I understand. If it makes you feel better, by all means do it. Disclaimer: I have done absolutely NO personal testing to determine if what I'm saying is true. I'm going mostly by what I read in that article. But if it were a big issue, we'd have heard more about it, I think. Perhaps that would be a good experiment for someone (besides me) to do and report on here. Good luck, Will

You're probably not the ONLY one, but one of a very few. Probably no negative side-effects. But no positive effects either, unless you enjoy looking at your ammo more than you enjoy shooting it. Why doesn't the factory do it? They do to an extent. They polish off the color from annealing. If they really went overboard, ammo would cost that much more. And I'd rather not pay extra for pretty ammo. As far as soft-points, a few small dings and dimples won't affect much. If the nose is all out of kilter, it can affect accuracy. If the rounds are loaded through a repeating rifle, especially an autoloader, it's going to get all banged up again before it's fired anyway. But if you enjoy it, go for it.
