If the phone was never backed up or synced and the photos are only located on the phone then unless you can get it going again I don't think you will be able to recover them. The current iphones use the photo stream deal and can save them in the cloud but I don't believe that model had that. I assume this is a iPhone 3G?

I agree. This is just my opinion but I don't think this is worth some young kid losing his job over. He made a boneheaded move and you being polite and nice about it MAY have rattled him into not doing it again. If he was an older adult though I'd be more inclined to contact the management. Either way kudos for keeping your cool.

We bought a maverick 88 early before Christmas and I just picked up a marlin 795 for $129 on sale this morning with some Christmas money. Sweet shooting little gun!

That........is awesome. Merry Christmas!

Sounds like Ernie has some great folks to take care of him! Hopefully he will give you some good results for Christmas and you guys can enjoy it worry free. Also +1 for getting that guy off of the road. He could have made someone else's Christmas even worse.

Haha thanks for the response Jimmy. I waited around for a few minutes but figured everyone was either sleeping or out doing late shopping so I went ahead and ordered the 12" Hogue. I was gonna order the limbsaver but I though the same thing about getting it cheaper in the store. The more I thought about it it just makes sense to get it short and have the option to lengthen it with a slip on. I tried out an adjustable one last night in the store and it just felt all wrong.

Oddly engouh my wife and I have the exact same length of pull measurement. This is great though because I can go with a standard stock and not have to drop big dough on an adjustable. My Maverick 88 came with a 14.5" LOP but we both measure out at 13" using the measurement from the bicep to the trigger finger pad.   I have been seeing alot of praise for the Houge 12" LOP stock regardless of proper LOP. Does it make sense to go shorter for more maneuverability or will a proper LOP fit serve us better in the long run?

Yeah I have given up on .22lr. I have plenty built up but I ain't gonna shoot it. With the new shotty I just bought I can have plenty of cheap fun with a louder bang!

My local Academy Sports has consistently had ammo in all calibers in stock. May not be the same in your location but I haven't shopped at Walmart for ammo since Academy opened here.

As I expected it seems that this is really just a matter of opinion. I think I have found my answer on carrying up or down (up for me). Care to elaborate on why you carry slugs in the tube and buckshot on the saddle? I really have no starting preference one way or the other on this one so I am just looking for more food for though.

Yeah those Mesa's look great. Just didn't want to drop that much coin on this build.   I ended up with the Tacstar 6 round but it seems very well made as well.

I will be using all slugs on the saddle and all buckshot in the tube. I have seen that alot of folks alternate on their setup but that would just be one more thing for me to think about. Although if you train for it then I guess it shouldn't be a problem.   My biggest issue is that my left/weak hand just isn't conditioned to handle the reloading yet so I ahve some work to do.

I know this boils down to personal preference in the end but I am curious to see how you guys load your side saddle. With the brass up or down. For me I tend to lean towards the brass up so there is no chance they'd fall out due to recoil. I also prefer the "over the top" insertion from what little practicing I have done with it.   What are you guys pros and cons of each?

I just hope no one bumps the original thread back up.  :cool:

Yep. I have freakishly long thumbs and I can do that to about any pistol. I have to adopt a new grip every time I buy a new one.  :rofl:

Those are pretty but I'd be afraid I'd break or scratch it! I'd love to have one but I just don't have many occasions where I would be comfortable wearing it. I like the most expensive thing on my person to be my gun haha.

Just an FYI If you plan to ever order a barrel for the Maverick or a Mossberg call them directly. I looked on their online site and they have them listed for $81 but out of stock. I just called them and they sold me an 18.5" barrel for $75.13 shipped! Was $66.18 for the barrel and $8.95 shipping. Needless to say I cancelled my backorder with Midway and should have this barrel in about a week or so. He said they may have to manufacture it and if that's the case it could be a few days longer.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered (backorder) the 18.5" barrel from Midway but they don't expect them until February. They are on sale for $75 though so I guess I can wait. I will spend whatever I have to on the adjustables but just want to spend the least amount possible. Just from looking online they are gonna float around $100 give or take which ain't bad considering it will fit the 500 as well. May be worth it to do what you suggest though with the adapter for more options.

Since the OP has satisfied his shotty needs I'd like to ask a question or two about the Maverick. From what I have read online you can swap out the slide tube or whatever it's called and use any 500 foregrip. I''m not really interested in that as I don't dislike the factory foregrip. I do however want to get a new stock as the LOP on this one is pretty long for me. Since the wife will have it at her bedside I want to go adjustable so she can dial it in just right for her.   Will any of the adjustable 500 stocks fit on the 88? Any experiences with a certain brand? I want to go as cheap as possible but still maintain quality. This is a budget build after all. :pleased:   I will be going with the Tacstar brand side saddle and picking up the 18.5" barrel from Midway as soon as they have stock. Academy has them but they are $119!!! Midways are $75 until the end of the year.

I have played the alien mode as well and I personally don't think it holds a candle to the zombies. It's a lot harder and the critters jump all over the place.

I just got another Xbox 360 yesterday so haven't picked up Ghosts yet. I have however played it at a friends on the PS4 and enjoyed it. Not crazy about the "token" buying system. I like the Black Ops money system better. I will be getting it along with Black Ops 2 and the Assassins Creed collection soon.

This reminds me. I have been meaning to re watch the Toy Story movies! Even for adults those are some good flicks.

Cold and rainy here on the west side. Supposed to be icing over here pretty soon I think.

WOW! That woman is brave.......   Tactical knives!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have one of these? I am thinking of buying their big skinning kit (for deer) but I wanted to try one out and get opinions first. I just purchased the Folding Grip-Blaze for $20. It is made from AUS-8 steel. Do these hold an edge well? I have heard some folks say they use them to cut through the breastplate of deer but that just seems silly when trying to keep a sharp knife for easy processing. It will be used solely for game cleaning.
