Sports South must be pretty huge. [/quote] Funny I linked the Sports South website in post #53. Dolomite

That looks worse than mine, both of mine. Hope it heals well. Joints tend to take a while to heal up. Dolomite

You must list a caliber. And although you can swap calibers as needed you must always have a 9mm upper to put on it. Or if you list 5.56 as the caliber you must always have a 5.56 to put on it. Anyway you do it you must have a caliber upper to match what is on the form. You use the existing serial number. It is better to have the lower engraved [u]BEFORE[/u] the paperwork comes back. If you do it then the firearm is not a NFA item and any FFL can handle it. Once the paperwork comes back the lower [u]IS[/u] an NFA item and the engraving must be done by a dealer that is licensed to handle NFA items. Dolomite

They do make stocks similar to the Charger that will make a 16" barrel legal. [url="http://www.hornetproducts.com/bin/category.asp?category=33"]http://www.hornetproducts.com/bin/category.asp?category=33[/url] Because of how the stock is built the overal length is 26"+ with a 16.25" barrel.

I have read of a few reports as well where it saved the officer's life. I have owned and used guns with them and without them. They really don't bother me on a gun I would carry for self defense. On plinker guns, like a Ruger MKIII, they are not needed. Dolomite

Post yours or I [u]WILL[/u] post mine, both sets. Dolomite

I find it hard to make identical ammunition when I have to set the dies up each time. You could also do away with the powder pan and just weigh the powder in the casing. You just need to make sure to zero out the scale for each casing because they all weigh differently. You could also dip out the powder and not use the Perfect Powder Measure but that is a very slow going process. The Press has a priming tool on it but that is also another slow going process. You are also tied to your press to prime cases. With the hand primers you can watch TV while priming cases. Dolomite

Do a search for my username and "midway". You will find a very nice list that is also cheap. When I get home I will edit this and add it here. Dolomite

The reason why they were though up in the first place was to allow LE to drop the mag if they were struggling to keep their sidearm. In that case the gun would be rendered useless unless the bad guy inserted the magazine back into the gun. Dolomite

They said in the video they are giving it back so she can sell it. Dolomite

It has nothing to do with what he did over there DURING the ambush. For those that know him know he was a tool before that and continues to be afterwards. I have never called him a coward, on here or anywhere, but the fact still remains he was a ####bird then and continues to be to this day. Dolomite

Heat it then use leather to insulate the strap wrench from the heat. Dolomite

Pat Rogers is another who marketed himself really well. He has been debunked on dozens of his claims. Dolomite

The anti's will report him and he will get questioned. Seen it on another board. Dolomite

[quote name='JayC' timestamp='1354805850' post='855841'] But this just isn't happening... You could pull somebody over and an 8 foot tall bigfoot covered in hair could jump out of the trunk and kill you... which is about as likely to happen as a valid permit holder is to shoot an officer during a traffic stop. The big problem here is, we don't know how often officers are disarming law abiding citizens, and nothing happens... [color=#0000FF]There are no penalties if the officer breaks the disarming law[/color], which appears to be happening on a regular basis. At the very least an officer unlawfully disarming a permit holder should be a criminal offense. It would be nice to require that every disarming be documented under the penalty of perjury stating the reason the permit holder was disarmed. Clearly a SOP (standard operating procedure) to disarm all permit holders during traffic stops would not be lawful under current state law, yet it appears that some officers and possibly some departments have such a policy. But, lets pretend there is such a rash of officer safety concerns that some permit holders need to be disarmed... why on earth do the serial numbers of their firearms need to be ran? This is [u]creating a computerized gun database[/u], and we should have laws (with criminal sanctions) preventing officers from running serial numbers on firearms unless that have probable cause the firearm in question is stolen. [/quote] Please point me to the disarming law you are talking about. Also, every single person in the state who has a firearm on them, HCP or not, is breaking the law. Dolomite

3, 2, 1 and go. Dolomite

People loose their minds all the time. Just because someone has a HCP doesn't mean they won't flip out and do something rash. We have read about it dozens of times on here where a HCP holder does something stupid. And as an officer if they can do something to prevent injuries to anyone it is a good thing. Think about it. A HCP holder flips out and pulls his gun on the officer. The officer responds and kills the HCP holder. Who won? No one because one man lost his life and another has to live with taking that life for the rest of his life. The families of both will suffer for the rest of their lives. The officer and department will get sued. Especially if the officer knew and did not disarm the HCP holder. I know it would weigh heavily on me if I did not do everything in my power to prevent conflict. Dolomite

I have no love for this man but I have never called Yeager a coward, either publically or privately, because if you are over there you are not a coward. He is a lot of things but a coward is probably not one. James might find himself in a far worse spot than he is right now. He made lemonade out of lemons, and I am happy for him, but he just put himself in between a rock and a hard spot with this video. When someone calls him on it, and someone will, he will either fight and risk loosing everything or he doesn't and then all those screaming he is a coward will have their ammunition. At a bare minimum if he fights it is going to cost him thousands in legal fees. And you know damn well both sides are going to have video. And this is yet another video that proves to me some of the things I have been told by those that knew him. Dolomite

I put my 22's in larger containers anyways so this would have been easier for me. At least they were all the same kind. I would have been upset had they been different. Dolomite

Heard of some barrels having misaligned ports. Or as Dolomite suggested, could just be the block not lined up. [/quote] Yes, it has been way, way to long since my last trip to the range. Dolomite

Timing is only an issue with full auto AR's, not semi autos. It is a gas problem. Either the gas block is not lined up right or the gas port is not big enough. Also check your gas key to make sure it isn't loose. Something else I ran into, make sure your gas tube is fitting tightly inside of the gas key. Like any short barreled gun it will be finicky once you do get it running. Is is partially unlocking and just not ejecting? Can you verify the gas port diameter? With it being from J&T anything is possible. I have seen and heard some horror stories about the stuff that makes it out of their doors. Dolomite

I watched a customer ask about the "new" 17HMR. The shop owner said if you shoot a groundhog you will only find the teeth. He said the muzzle velocity was over 4,000 fps and vaporizes anything it hits. I aksed if he was talking about the 17 Remingotn and he said no, the 17 HMR. He then grabbed a rifle chambered in it and showed the customer. I was at a local Walmart and a person called in asking for Hydrashocks. The sporting goods manager said no. When he got off the phone he went into a tirade telling the other associate that Hydrashocks are hollow points and they should be outlawed because they are designed to maim and cause suffering. I piped up and said I carried Hydrashocks in my 1911. You would have thought I said something inflammatory with how he reacted. He said the 1911 should never be in the hands of a civillian it was also designed to maim. He said everybody should carry a bolt gun loaded with FMJ's. I was in a Walmart and heard the racking of a gun, I mean over and over again. So I walked over to sporting goods to see what was going on. A younger customer was vigoursly racking all the pump actions to see which one was the loudest. He told his friend you need to test them to see which is the loudest before buying. He said if you get a loud one you don't have to keep it loaded. He said when an intruder hears the shotgun they would run away in fear. I had a close friend who is a 1911 freak, not just a fan boy but a over the top freak. We were discussing our Glocks we carried in 9mm and he said they wouldn't stop anyone. He went on to say that even a grazing wound from a 45 ACP would drop a bad guy immediately. He said the shock wave from the bullet would travel through the body and cause the person to become incapacitated immediately. I laughed and said no it doesn't. He said how do you know, have you been shot with a 45? I said yes in the leg and I didn't drop. He mumbled to himself then went into his room without saying another word. Dolomite

I have stood right in front of a manager as they called the distributor to see if they had a gun in stock I wanted to buy. The manager did not call the firearm company to have one shipped, they called the distributor. And when the distributor said they didn't have it the manager told me it couldn't be ordered. I was told by the manager that I could go to distributor's website and see what was in stock. He said that he could order anything listed on the the distributor's website. Things may have changed since they started using Sports South but I suspect it is the same way just with a different middle man. And if you want to see what Walmart can order then go to the Sports South website and do a search. I bet you could order anything on their website except maybe pistols. [url="http://www.internetguncatalog.com/Default.aspx?tabid=179"]http://www.internetg....aspx?tabid=179[/url] There is probably a different supply chain for guns ordered by Walmart and guns ordered through Walmart for a customer. I know the managers have no clue what guns are coming in until they open the boxes to log them in. As far as who they place the order with I bet you could call 5 different stores and get 3 different answers. Dolomite
