Carry Permit while on Probation
Dolomite_supafly replied to Pete123's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Most people on probation are barred from owning, possessing or using firearms while on probation. It is almost always a condition of being on probation. -
I have said for a very long time that the 300 Blackout is the PERFECT caliber for end of times. It is much easier to cast bullets for than 5.56. It is more miserly with the powder than 5.56, develops similar energy with 1/3 less powder. The parent case, 5.56, can be found anywhere guns are shot. It will easily cycle with subsonic bullets in an AR then fire supersonic bullets without issue. It can be loaded with 0 buck balls for taking small game. Oh, and one more thing, it can do most of this while using blackpowder now. Not many calibers are as useful or as versatile as the 300 Blackout. And with a rethink of how to use the 300 Blackout it becomes much more of a viable long range caliber as well. Right now everyone I know, with the exception of a few, load either lightweight supersonic rounds or heavy subsonic rounds. The lightweight rounds run out of steam pretty quickly and the heavy bullets start out without a lot of steam but hang onto the steam a lot longer. But what about loading those really heavy bullets at max velocity? Using a 220 SMK loaded to 1,400 fps (which is doable) that bullet will remain supersonic past 500 yards and at 500 yards it has over 200 foot pounds more energy than a 125 loaded to maximum pressures. Right now there are 3-5 of us testing to see where the middle is. That is the middle between lightweight bullets and heavy bullets loaded at max to determine how far a supersonic bullet will go out of a Blackout. We are thinking that using a 175-180 bullet will yield the longest supersonic range. Imagine taking a standard AR 15 and using it in the same role as most people use AR10's. I have said that the 300 Blackout is like a 308 Winchester minus 275 yards. We are trying all the traditional powders as well as some not so traditional, like blackpowder, powders. I recently did some testing and was amazed that almost all of the "5.56" powders ran my Blackout. I also have some great loads using Blue Dot which has traditionally been used solely for pistols but cycles my 300 Blackout AR without issue. But that makes sense because the 300 Blackout is nothing more than a pistol caliber. 45 ACP cases hold more than a 300 Blackout and 357 magnum is nearly identical. So if you view the 300 as a pistol caliber the powder choices grow substantially. We never expected BP to be ideal but considering you can find all the components to make it at most pharmacies BP would be a great alternative when nothing else is available.

Two years ago I walked into Best Buy and they had 27" monitors for $179. They still sell the same ones but they are $244 now. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-27-led-hd-monitor-black/4753004.p?id=1219103680327&skuId=4753004&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=4753004&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!91140902239!g!M!87087648559&kpid=4753004&k_clickid=9f4831a8-c18c-443a-b1b8-476ad1874d27&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&ksid=9f4831a8-c18c-443a-b1b8-476ad1874d27&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg6560&ksdevice=m

What are TGOers putting on their Christmas list this year?
Dolomite_supafly replied to Spots's topic in General Chat
Call me what you want but I would give almost anything to have Kinder Eggs here. Our government has decided that they are dangerous. They are a hollow chocolate egg with a small toy inside. Just a little bundle of fun. -
I posted "tread lightly" as s reminder to EVERYONE that this will not turn into another "all cops are bad" thread. I think by this time we all know where everyone stands on LE. And I do not care how badly these kids screwed up it is still pretty sad that they lost their lives. And over what would have amounted to a ticket. Everyone involved could have reacted better. I blame EVERYONE involved, the kids and the cops, for the outcome. Yeah the kids could have acted better but so could the cops in both videos. I can say, without a doubt, before I attempted to extract ANYONE, especially an argumentative teenager, I would have waited for another officer. Backup was less than a minute away and the kid was not posing a threat while engaged in videoing the officer. The kid wears the brunt of the responsibility for his death but I also know that kids do stupid things because they lack maturity or the wisdom that comes with age. Also, if the officer knew people were flashing him over the lights on the new patrol car why even bother with a traffic stop? That is the single biggest problem I have. Almost like the officer was using the lights, intentionally or not, as a reason for a stop that I believe should have never happened. Yes, if that was the first car to flash then yeah pull them over but the officer already knew the reason why the kid flashed him and used that as probable cause to stop the kid. I think that will play a major role in all of this. The officer should not be charged criminally but he should never be in any position of authority again. You could definitely see him getting upset and it was his emotions, not an actual threat, that prompted him to arrest the kid before backup arrived. I would have just stood there and let the kid continue to video me until backup arrived. You can never have enough witnesses.

I am hoping your phone auto corrected "Kinder Eggs". -
Made by Mitchell Arms as well as Interordnance
-
They were made back in the 70's by companies that are long gone. They are considered collectors items these days.
-
I have seen them for ~$150-$200. It is more of a collectors piece now.
-
That under folder stock is worth a lot.

Tread lightly.

Any way to verify military record?
Dolomite_supafly replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
I have confirmed that site as legit. I ran my information as well as a few others I know were in and all came back with records. She has no record for a reason. It was probably because her job as a space shuttle door gunner is classified. She was probably wounded by some Martians as they reentered the atmosphere during the last mission Imagine the hysteria if Martians were actually real? -

Dolomite_supafly replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
She is a POS and deserves anything that she brought upon herself. Her children should be removed from her care for their own good. I suspect the only reason why she still has them around is for the benefits. -
Yeah, I am done with Photobucket. Cannot post pictures form them any longer.

I have lived here on and off since I was six. I thought I had seen everything there is to see in those 40 years but this one I have never seen. I am assume it is some sort of Corn snake or Rat snake or a hybrid but not 100% positive. I know it is not a copperhead or any other venomous snake. I have never seen a snake like this before. It is almost like a cross between FDE and burnt bronze, really cool. You can see some very, very light patterning. It is not in the process of a molt so that is not the cause for the muted stripes. I do believe the dark spots are caused from moisture and not an actual pattern. http://imgur.com/a/gDpLW

Yeah, but for picture use only :) Seriously it seems like a decent magazine but I run steel.

Anyone have any experience with HS-6 in 9mm?
Dolomite_supafly replied to Jamie Jackson's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I have shot a lot of HS-6 and have nothing but great things to say. -

Dolomite_supafly replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
The Veterans Administration has full time investigators if she has tried to go through them. I think anyone who actually gives a crap about our veterans should at least spread the word. Link her page on your own with a small narrative. It will eventually start getting some momentum. -

She has admitted to doing something to actually violate the Stolen Valor Act. She bragged about getting military discounts at various places. She needs to feel the wraith that is our veterans I will go ahead and get the ball rolling on her demise. -

What am I looking at here?
Dolomite_supafly replied to SupaRice's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
If you, or anyone else, is expecting damp conditions soak your gun down with WD40 Corrosion Specialist. It is the best for situations like this. It is also the #1 finisher in a two month long study involving ~60 other gun protectant products. I tried it and immediately went out and bought a bunch more. As far as what is in the bore I seriously doubt the pit was from a week of wet weather. That looks like a manufacturing defect or possible corrosion from previously that was never caught. The best possible fix for the outside is some 000 steel wool and some WD40. Soak the steel wool with WD40 then lightly go over the rusty areas. Slowly apply more pressure with the wool until you get rid of most of the rust. You will not be able to remove all signs of the rust but it will be a lot better. Before I worried too much about the bore I would shoot it to see if accuracy is unacceptable. I have seen some pretty nasty bores that actually shot very well.
