It's anticipatory panic. If Hildebeast wins, there will be attacks on our sport and everyone knows it. Nobody knows exactly what form it will take, but we all know it would be arriving under her watch. It's faux panic in the sense that nothing is currently becoming law to create restrictions. But it's real panic because the likelihood of that happening is increasing.

^^^THIS!^^^

I saw Kahrman's Colts last night. They're purrrrrrrty! I'm not sure that zip tie is OEM though.

steel or brass?

Oh...maybe 2 1/2 years?

Blatant self-promotion without paying for a Benefactor account aside....shipping is still crazy high on what I just spec'd out. 1K rds of Wolf 7.62x39 at 218.50 is inline with other shops, maybe a couple of bucks cheaper. Then comes the $60.54 shipping charge. Even SGAmmo isn't that high. ETA: In case anyone's wondering why it looks like I dredged up this old thread, I didn't. There was a post just before mine from someone at Munire promoting themselves (w/o TGO Vendor status) and about how great their prices are an how they've got the best shipping rates ever, or something like that. The post was removed. What you see above from me is my response to that now-deleted post.

I expect that one to go north of $2000 by the end, even with its significant wear marks. Most of the ammo is already bid up to the normal prices, higher in a few cases. Same with most of the magazines. 5 PMags for $60? I see specials every week or so for <$10/ea. Still, there are a few guns on there that might stay low enough to be considered a deal. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

If it's like their last one, I expect to see HiPoints going for Colt Python prices by the end. The overall quality looks better this time.

2 boxes of .38 Special FMJ. Exciting stuff.....

PSA has some. http://palmettostatearmory.com/ar-15-05/lower-parts/repair-kits.html

Given the overall weakness of the division, the Titans have a decent chance of making the playoffs. They'll lose in week 1 if they do, but it's better than previous seasons. Personally, I stand by my 5-11 prediction and 3rd place in the division. The Colts may be struggling, but they'll be up for the Titans matchups. Once Brock O starts getting in sync with his offense at Houston, they'll be putting up some serious points, but their defense without J.J. Watt will be a joke the rest of the season. The Titans will probably beat the Browns who had to sub in a WR as QB for their final play after Clipboard Jesus popped his knee. I think their only 3 remaining wins will be Cleveland, one of the two Jax games, and pick any other random game (probably Chiefs, Texans, or one of the Colts games). Unfortunately, 5-11 will probably be good enough for Mularkey to keep his job for another season.

I can see Beretta being interested in sponsoring the largest NRA-affiliated shooting club in the nation.

One (of several) reasons for that is the range closure on Saturdays for matches during the not-sucky-weather months. I get that one of the missions of the club is to promote the shooting sports through matches, and I support that, but that's not something that interests me right now. Saturdays are often the only days I have the time to shoot and it's closed unless I want to compete, which I don't. I only get out there a few times a year because of that. It would be great if the new range could accommodate most of, or at least some of, the matches without having to shut the whole thing down.

Which 2 did they fit? The more times I've tried to find a reasonable contractor, the more I think I'll just stick with the first 2 and suck it up. It's like outdoor gear. It can be light, cheap, or good. Pick 2.

PM inbound.

Tonight at 7pm at Grace Church, 901 Long Hollow Pike, Gallatin

I'd say it's similar to slightly higher quality than Academy, but with REI prices. Kind of like Bass Pro. Just like Bass Pro, the prices on most guns are just stupid.

It might be wide open. Many ranges restrict membership levels intentionally so that they don't have 500 people showing up on Saturday morning to use 20 lanes. Strategic Edge caps their numbers and it's currently closed to new members. The relocating will certainly give the club more flexibility, but I hope they don't throw the limits completely out the window. I'm renewing for 2017, but I may have to drop that for 2018 and open a spot for someone else depending on where they relocate. It's already an hour drive each way for me and I don't get there as often as I'd like. If they end up in some place like Westmoreland or Trousdale Co., I just can't see that happening for me.

There's an easy solution to that. Stop eating salads.

It depends on a lot of things, but mostly it's about what are you trying to protect your stuff from and is it your first, last, and only line of defense? If it's going to be behind solid doors with good locks, tucked in a tight space with little access to the sides, back, or top, bolted in place, and protected by an alarm to police & fire with a fast response time (and throw in a good guard dog while we're at it), and you're in a low crime area, and there's a fire hydrant very close to your home, then those will suit most people just fine. But don't have delusions about these entry-level safes protecting from an experienced and prepared thief. If it's going to be sitting along an open wall in a garage and not bolted down properly, with a bunch of power/hand tools nearby, and the cops are making arrests in your neighborhood on a daily basis, then you'll probably want something with a thicker body. 12 and 14 ga. steel gets opened up quickly by a pick axe. Kitchens and garages often burn the hottest during a house fire due to the presence of gas lines and various chemicals. The further it is from gas lines and chemicals, the better.

This ^^^ When hiking, you use the Mt. House as an "entree" but you'll supplement it with something else like energy bars, fruit, trail mix, etc.

More of the distinction of the perpetrator rather than the target, but yes.
