DaveS also does some leather work. Him and Mark@Sea are friends but they different types of leather working. East_TN_Patriot also does more modern leather work. Dolomite

You can get two gallons of muratic acid from Home Depot for cheap. It is used to clean concrete. It can be used to darken steel. I used it on a damascus blade I was working on. The biggest problem I had using it was getting rid of what I didn't use. I finally gave it to a friend who used it to clean his driveway. Dolomite

I have used single point and dual point slings. I prefer a two point sling because when you transition your gun will be tight to your body. With a single point sling it will continue to swing around as you move. I attach the rear sling point to the end plate and the front of the sling as far out on the rail as I can. I would also avoid bungee slings as they tend to increase the bouncing and movement of a single point. Something else I consider a must is a quick detach system. I can't count how many times I have been caught up on something. Fortunately it was never during a life and death moment. Had it been having a quick detach would have let me get free more quickly. Joe Bob has plenty of slings: http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Slings_s/256.htm He also is a sponsor here and offers a discount. Dolomite

bump for me to watch later.

Ahh, ok. I thought it was the rifle I linked for $734. Dolomite

Where did you find it for $734 shipped? I might have to grab one as well. Dolomite

Our 9mm AR is the gun we use as the house gun. That is over a 5.56 or 300 blackout. 9mm makes more sense than either of these for several reasons. The biggest is muzzle blast inside the house. Firing 5.56 in a house can be very disorienting, even with hearing protection. With the 9mm that is not the case. It is also less dauting for a women shooter. If you choose the right ammo overpenetration is not an issue either. Overpenetration is not a concern for us so we have it loaded with 124 grain FMJ's. Our 9mm is the most shot gun we own. It is fun and reliable. It works very well as a defensive firearm because you get 357 magnum ballistics because of the extra barrel length. The discount is what Brownells gives to LE or MIL or FFL's.

I was about to type the same thing TMF. Up until WWI most wars were small scale skirmishes in comparison. That assasination resulted in millions upon millions of deaths. It also resulted in a major shift in the world politics and ways of thinking. People were turned into billionaires over night as a result of WWI and the face of politics changed because of their control. Had Ferdinand had not been killed the world we live in today would be a very, very different place. Dolomite

Take a look at this: http://www.k-var.com/shop/SLR106-51.html It is just a hacksaw away from being a a SBR . The price isn't too bad either. Dolomite

Absolutely. CMMG makes a nice Colt pattern 9mm. They also make a dedicated lower that is cheaper than the mag blocks. A friend has one and it is a great gun. WIth discount their 9mm lower is $155 from Brownells. My wife's is a homebuilt Colt pattern gun. We have 7K to 8K rounds through it now. WIth FMJ it is 100% reliable. With certain HP's they can be a bit finicky but I have only found two types that cause problems. Dolomite

They use a non standard setup. They are NOT like Colts or at least weren't in the begining. Colt pattern is the standard and if you do get an Olympic upper you need to have a special bolt for it that is rare as hens teeth. If the upper doesn't come with the bolt you will likely never shoot the upper. Dolomite

No but if it is not loaded by a licensed manufacturer it is NOT a factory loaded round. The components may be used but that does not matter as long as they are assembled by a manufacturer. Again, selling reloads is illegal unless you are licensed to manufacture and sell them. Then they are considered factory loads. Dolomite

Here is what they boxes look like in stores. http://www.chuckhawks.com/22WRF.htm Dolomite

What is funny is I bet 90% of those Muslims upset at the movie have not seen the movie. I suspect our issues will not come from the Muslims in the world but from within our borders. Everyday I see more and more people using their EBT cards. And at some point those cards, as well as all the other "free" programs, are going to bankrupt the nation. And when those cards quit working it will be chaos within hours and we will be a third world nation within days. And when that happens it will be the "have nots" trying to take what they honestly believe is theirs from the "haves". That is why I am as far as I can get away from any population center because that is where it will start. I hope I will not be in town when it happens but if it does I am prepared to make it back home. The welfare fraud is so widespread that there is no way to fix it without a complete reset and when that happens we will be amidst a civil war. The only other thing that I can see happening is these Muslim countries who are upset with us restricting our oil. And when that happens it will be just like the previous scenario except it will affect all Americans and not just those on the government dole. People will not be able to go to work and when that happens the money will basically freeze up in our economy. On top of that store shelves will dry up within days. And people will panic, neighbors will fight to feed their children and those who have never stolen anything in their lives will. Dolomite

Ammunition produced by a licensed and insured manufacturer is what they are allowing. Anything else is a reload and likely what they do not want in their facilities. Buying ammunition from a friend, or anyone, is against the law for the seller unless he/she is licensed as a manufacturer of ammunition. There are a lot of fly by night ammo makers out there without any type of liability insurance. And why would anyone want to shoot ammunition knowing if something went wrong you are on your own. And on top of that anyone who sells or gives their reloads without liability insurance is someone I would not want ammunition from anyways. If they are not taht worried about protecting themselves they sure as hell aren;t worried about safeguarding someone else. Dolomite

I would seriously remove the Colt from consideration. There are cases of them breaking at the stock attachment. There are other random cracks that seem to be showing up as well. I am sure they are going to fix it but I would rather have a gun that works than rely on the factory warranty. The M&P and the 522 are comparable quality. So then the magazines become the deciding factor for me. How about this. Buy a CMMG dedicated 22lr upper. Then buy a Frontier Arms polymer lower. You should have a complete gun for close to the cost of either of these. And when you want you can slap a 5.56 upper on that Frontier lower and do some real shooting. That way you have a multipurpose gun. Dolomite

I know part of the inspection for them is to make sure the bolts match the gun. I watched them search high and low for the matching bolt to a gun that was being sold. Evidentally someone had swapped bolts between guns while it was on the shelf. Dolomite

As long as it transferred as a receiver only or as a pistol then it can be a pistol. If it is transferred as a rifle or ever assembled into a rifle it can never be a pistol. The rule of thumb is "once a rifle always a rifle". For a SBR AK I would recommend finding a Draco pistol then adding a stock after you have the SBR paperwork in hand. Dolomite

They make it new today. You can find it at Bass Pro and Gander Mountain or at least you could in the last year. It is generally in a plastic box with a tan "old timey" looking label. It is a more sedate version of the magnum version. Dolomite

The paperwork to actually buy the lower is no different between a receiver, rifle or pistol lower. When you fill out the Form 1 to make a SBR you will list the information for the lower you purchased. Then in the meantime, not after the paperwork comes back, have the lower engraved with your name as well as your city, state. You can put the forms for your SBR and suppressor in the same envelope.

Here is the video from the begining. You can see how fast the officer was going and how long it took the tropper to catch up. ALso notice the wipers are going it is is raining with this happening. It is very sickening to think what may have happened. I wish they would do that around Knoxville. I have seen more than a few officers exceeding 100 mph on 40 between downtown and the Stray Plain exit. Dolomite

I just went back and read the article. They were using average time between toll booths to determine speeds. Which means he was likely doing a lot faster than 120. I am curious if this was in a patrol car or in his civillian car. I suspect his civillian car based on the fact a trooper held him at gunpoint. Dolomite Just watched the video it was in his patrol car

GPS. We had a GPS tracking system installed in our cars in 1997. We had a local map and the patrol cars showed up as little stars. You could hold your mouse over the patrol to get the particulars of that car. With part of the programming we could set speed limits and if a patrol car exceeded it an alarm would sound and a log entry was made. Then we would verify if the officer was on a call or traffic stop. If an officer engaged his emergency equpment it also set off an alarm. It also had a monitor for inactivity that went off after 45 minutes of inactivity. It was supposed to be for when an officer might be injured but most times it went off when an officer hid somewhere and took a nap. We could watch in real time and know how fast the officer was going, what emergency equipment he had on, doors ajar and even seatbelts being used. It had a way of detecting crashes as well. It was a fantastic system until the bosses started using it to punish officers. Dolomite

The payment will NOT be recurring. It is a one time fee until you manually renew again. Dolomite
