Good looking stick you got there. Dolomite

I believe that if a property owner doesn't like an activity, regardless of what that activity is, they should be allowed to ask the offender to leave the property. Dolomite

You have no rights afforded by the BIll of Rights on my property. The Bill of Rights addresses goverment abuses, not abuses by private parties against other private parties. It is laws of the land that addresses those abuses. The Declaration of Independence affords you no rights on my property either. Your right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" doesn't mean you can trample those same rights of another in your pursuit. Me being a property owner is not stopping you from your pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness but you entering my property without my permission is stopping me from my pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness. And when this happens it is the laws of the land that deals with it. You cannot come onto my property and say what you want. My right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness on my property trumps your 1st ammendment right to free speech or any other rights you may think you have on my property. You have ZERO rights afforded by the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence or the Constitution on my property. Now there are laws that dictate what I can and cannot do to you while on my property. You must have my permission to do anything on my property and I can set conditions while you are on my property otherwise I have a right to make you leave. Just because you have a right to free speech doesn't mean you have a right to excercise that right on my property, because you don't. The second ammendment is the same, I can mandate you not enter with a firearm if I choose to. This is the same as any of the others in the Bill of Rights because they are there to address the abuses of the government, not individuals. If we want to say that a right to the pursuit of happiness trumps property owners rights then I need to go find a big mansion to move into because I would probably be happier there. Or perhaps I need to go take other's property because I will be happier with it. And I guess my happiness is paramount to any rights a property owner has. I just think that as an individual you cannot tell another individual how they should use their private property. I am a very staunch supporter of everything gun related but I also value my right to use my property how I see fit. It is nothing more than others telling you how best to use your own property and that worked out really well for those who have suffered the imminant domain laws. Dolomite

You can drill and tap the top portion of the trigger and install some setscrews. That way you can adjust the pretravel. It is easy and realitvely cheap to so. I do not believe it has anything to do with the magazine disconnect, the weight maybe but not the travel. Here is what I am talking about: http://www.guntalk-online.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12 Although rather than at an angle I prefer to drill straight into the trigger rather than an angle. You might have to take the trigger out a few times until you get it set but after that it is set. The angled hole allows you to adjust it from outside the gun. Dolomite

Ok, I get you. I understand Walmart is worried about profits, the same as local dealers, but local dealers only deal in firearms and related items. So the local dealers have more vested in making it than Walmart. I do try to buy from local dealers above all others but Walmart is the place I go for some items that can't be found at local shops or can't be bought for a reasonable price. I tried finding reloadable 7.62x39 brass or ammunition. Every dealer I spoke to has steel cased, not doubt because it is cheap and sells like hot cakes. I had to go to Walmart to buy Remington to get reloadable brass. I even had one dealer call me an idiot over the phone for wanting to reload the caliber when he had steel cased so cheap. Dolomite

At what point do you quit going to local dealers? For me it is when they are charging more than I am willing to pay for the priviledge to say I bought local. I am part of their marketplace and I will choose who I will bear and who I will not. I was at a dealer yesterday that had Keltec P3AT's for $419. They had Glocks in the $650-$750 range and used ones for $600+. Not to mention Tula 7.62x39 ammo for $12.99 a box, the same is $4.79 at Walmart. Every AR they had was over $1,000, including the Bushmaster Patrol Carbine available at Walmart for $844. Every gun they had was 25%-30% more than a store only a few miles away. The dealer can charge whatever they want but don't complain when your prices are so out of line no one will pay them. I do buy from local dealers but only when I feel what they are asking is fair. What I consider fair and what you consider fair are not going to be the same. Dolomite

Well if you have a beaver that is ruining your wood then you definitely need to do something. Not really sure how to go about solving your issue... Dolomite

I agree private property owners should be allowed to dictate who can and cannot come on their property to work. If they are a privately owned they can mandate whatever they want as a condition of employment. They can mandate that their employees were pink shirts while at work or not bring firearms on their property. For the record I do not agree with federally mandated hiring practices. An employer should be allowed to choose who is the best for their company. Just like an employee doesn't have the right to say whatever they want at work under the first ammendment the employee should not be allowed to bring a gun to work against the employer's wishes and claim it is his second ammendment right. If an employer doesn't want guns on his property I think it is his right and if an empoyee doesn't like it they can quit. Now on the flip side if the employer doesn't allow a person to have the ability to protect themselves they should be responsible for any and all damages that could have been prevented through the use of a firearm. I feel this should also be applied to restaurants or any retail establishment that is posted and prevents people from protecting themselves. For me the common ground should be either allow guns and not be accountable for damages or forbid guns and assume responsibility for all damages. I think when businesses see that not allowing people to carry could cost them substantially they would change their tune. Private property owner rights trump individual rights. Free speech is not guaranteed on private property as is the right to bear arms. Just because someone has the right to free speech doesn't mean I have to allow them to say whatever they want on my property. And yes I carry a gun everywhere I go and if I owned a business I would allow my employees to carry. Dolomite

I chuckled at how he was carrying the trout/salmon at the end. They are amazing creatures. Dolomite

When that happens someone will realize there is a void and there is a demand for it they will open a shop. It is that pesky supply and demand thing. If there is a demand in the supply chain for something someone is going to see an opportunity and fill it. Dolomite

One more thing. I would request them to return an acknowledgement of receipt of your letter. Not sure if they will but it doesn't hurt to request it. At a bare minimum track the letter to prove you sent something to them close to when you moved. Cheap insurance to keep you out of trouble. Dolomite

I once tried to buy some ammo at 10:30 pm and was turned away. It wouldn't have been so bad but I was in my LE uniform at the time. They also said it was because of a shooting in a Walmart. This was at the Walmart at East Towne mall in Knoxville. Dolomite

Write a letter to the ATF notifying them of the move. Make sure where you are moving allows suppressors as well. The state might allow it but maybe not the jurisdiction. Dolomite

And more importantly is an individual willing to take on the Federal Governement's endless resources? I would be willing to bet that Tennessee would bow down to the feds rather than stand up for its citizens. There is a guy in Montana who has began the process. He has made and sold guns without having a FFL. He has come under the watchful eye of the feds. He has a lot of backing as well but he will likely be spending time in jail when all is said and done. Dolomite

Funny, they weren't when I linked them. I found even cheaper but didn't link those because they were out of stock. Dolomite

This thread is very telling about some people here Rest assured I will not trust doing business with them. Morals are obviously not the most important to some of us here. Not specifically at the OP but those who feel it is ok to steal so long as it isn't immediately noticed. Dolomite

The Ruger is a good pistol but it is far from great. It would need trigger work to be comparable to most "target" pistols. It is also not as accurate as most "target" pistols. Fixing the crown can improve the accuracy some but most of the accuracy of a gun comes from the chamber dimensions and ALL Ruger pistols have a sporter chamber. Sporter chambers are designed to allow the gun to reliability shoot the widest variety of ammunition. The guns are made with cost in mind. Think of them as the economy car of the pistol world, something you can jump in and just go. Now "target" guns are like a purpose built exotic sports car. They have tighter tolerances and that makes for nicer triggers. They have a much tighter chamber which is the key to their accuracy. But they also require more maintenance to keep running. And for most of these "target" guns cost isn't the main consideration like with the Ruger. I own and will always own a Ruger pistol. They are built to last a lifetime and are very, very reliable but they are far from "target" guns. Dolomite

Ok, we have it figured out. If anyone else has problems logging in just open the login screen in a new window. This prevents the login dialogue box. We are where we need to be now but she forgot her password now I suspect thsi will work for otehr platforms with loggin problems because of the login dialogue box. Thanks for the quick response David. Dolomite

My wife cannot log in using her Kindle Fire. When she hits the login button another box opens up in the top/middle of the screen. The box is green with a blue question mark in it or 3 flashing boxes (as if waiting for something). When she hits the green box it disappears. If she is able to hit the green box it moves login button or the login button it moves the screen to the bottom of the page. There is no login dialogue box. Dolomite

Until the dealer decides to hit your credit card for the ammo cost. Then the OP would be on here screaming about it. Dolomite

Did you grease or oil those before use? Not sure if it would make it loose enough to notice if you didn't. I always make sure my presses are lubed at areas I think it will help. The only press I have had work loose was an aluminum press. The main body was aluminum with a steel ram. After about 2,000 reloads it literally flops around. Dolomite

Get a hold of Caster on here, he is the casting guru. Dolomite

Those who build guns to sell rarely sell just one. This is where you will get into trouble, building several then selling them. It isn't that hard to prove if the seller has sold more than one home built of the same type. All it takes is an over zealous agent to arrest and bring the weight of the Federal government down. And even if they can't prove their case to a jury the costs to the innocent would be a lot for anyone to bear. Innocent people get arrested all the time and even if they are found not guilty the damage is still done. Personally I would never sell a home built weapon even if it were legal. Just like serial numbers are not required on home built guns. But try telling that to an officer that is ignorant of the law regarding that. They would arrest you then after posting bail and hiring an attorney you would be out a substantial amount of money through no fault of you own. Too much of a risk to me. Dolomite
