guys,

don't make my daughter mad if she has her .40 s&w in reach. You can't run fast enough. She's way above average with her front stuffer, also.

market value = willing seller willing to part with the stuff a willing buyer is willing to pay for. You'll know real fast if you price something too high.

The Court of Appeals delayed its ruling for 6 mos to give the Ill. legislature a chance to pass a constitutional law. After reading the opinion, I'd bet Ill. tries to mimic the NY law since the 7th Circuit seemed to feel it was one example of a workable solution. A total ban on concealed carry will ...

I live by the motto--You gotta have the bad so you know when you have it good. Pitchy illustrates the good parts of life about as well as anyone. Maybe the wiener dog has just a slightly better outlook!!

OK Rimrock... suppose the bg says he's going to tie you and everyone else up while he ransacks your house. then what? he says he just wants your stuff. and it's insured. nice guy. right? just needs some quick cash. then what? Grizz If BG points some threatening object at a human on my property, and...

Mi mother in law in law taught me that EVERYONE has at least some good in them. Mostly, I've dcided a BG can have my stuff-- it's well worn and insured. Don't mess with with a human I can come to the aid of, and don't mistreat my animals if they're on my place.

This one is smaller than normal. Lots of butter, salt and pepper in a browning bag in the oven on about 225 for 4-5 hours. One moist turkey.

pure guess on my part. I think gilding metal is a little softer but more predictable. So, bullet makers can score the gilding metal where needed to assure more reliable expansion when compared to alloys with more pure copper.

You can avoid damage (note sarcasm follows) simply by beig a member of the media. Everyone knows no reporter gets hurt with debris swirling around them while they report about a storm.

I know it's true cuz I saw on tv.

might feel good to squish barn yard "stuff" tween your toes, but I certainly ain't dumpin' it outta no jar!!!

Just in case I wasn't clear--I don't like any sour kraut!!

I'm not a lawyer--my 2 cents only. I'd say a great benefit of an NFA trust is that a trust doesn't have to be a public document, so a properly created trust might give you more privacy concerning your toys. But, remember you gotta have to fund the trust and you absolutely still must pay the ATF stam...

A Burris Fastfire might be one to consider.

A few times I think I need an AR. But, I always know I want a Sharps fitted with a .444 barrel.

rimrock

I am not a lawyer. My 2 cents only-- If the trust isn't properly maintained, there could be personal liability attributed to the beneficiaries. In Texas, an improperly registered silencer means serious jail time. Is it worth the risk to save a few hundred dollars instead of getting good legal advice?

I use Ed's Red then bore butter in my Traditions 209 Tracker after smoking it with triple 7. No problems.

You can solve your dilemma real easy--throw 'em in the pot and recast 'em.

My daughter shoots my FNP-40 better than anyone. She wants a .36 BP revolver, and she'll have it. My son has .308 bolt gun here at the house, and wants an FN SCAR. I'll find a way to afford that one also.

rimrock

My used Marlin 795 did not impress me. It found another home. YMMV. My 10/22 with a red dot sight was ok but my 10/22 with a Bushnell 4x rimfire scope is deadly. All I've added to that stock gun is a Power Custom hammer for a little lighter trigger pull and a Yellow Jacket polymer recoil buffer. I'd...

almost all I use in a .40S&W is Lee TL401-175SWC with Lyman #2 alloy.

Pitchy, You have my sympathies, but I think you're wise to have your lawyer lay down the boundaries. Recently, the parcel next to mine sold. Buyer has more money than he has sense. No doubt, we each own to the middle of the road, but adverse public possession since about 1832 clearly says 10 feet fr...

I have a Burris Fullfield 2 x 7 on my .308, and like it. I have a Simmons 4x EER scope on my .444 mounted as a scout scope. And a Tasco red dot on my 10/22. I like the Fullfield but not the other 2. Nothing against either the Simmons or Tasco (they both provide killing accuracy), they just don't sat...

I started out thinking I wanted to put the same scope on 3 different guns-- 10/22, Marlin .444 & Rem VTR .308. My thinking was same reticle on all 3 would get me more consistent with them. I'm not so sure. The guns shoulder different, hold different, and certainly have different ranges. Since th...

I'd say somebody just recycled a bunch of used al Queda dudes, and sold 'em cheap. And the powder companies thought--what poetic justice!!!

I've been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises--about 40 yrs ago and 35 yrs ago. In high school I found it boring but the food was outstanding. We took several off boat side trips (expensive in my inexperienced eyes) that resulted in many laughs over the years. In college, I met a nice Canadian lady and a w...

Naw, the TP is for when the snake is in your sleeping bag!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: FWIW, when the ground is not wet, you can use diatomaceous earth around your tent to keep snakes at bay. It really grinds 'em between their scales so they'll usually turn away. But the mice would probably love it for ki...

.45C behind the ear with old fashioned RNFP about 900 fps did the job for me when I had 'em in the trap.

I want to ask folks with direct experience in big bear country a question. What do you think or what do locals think of the 12 gauge slug gun as a camp gun? What about the lowly 20 gauge? I know that locals in the far north often carry a 12 gauge for bear protection. I was just wondering what local...

I believe a legally registered silencer is allowed in Texas as an exemption to the Texas Penal Code because federal law replaces state law, but it's nowhere clearly stated as so. I say this because gun trusts are one way to avoid obtaining the signature of the local chief LEO when registering a sile...

I ain't preaching or stepping on your religion, but according to what I've been taught, the mark of the beast needs to be feared the most! Globalization is leading us to destruction.

in more modern times, we scatter diatomaticious earth around instead of a rope--plays hell the areas between the snake scales as long as it's not wet. oh, yeah, I forgot--twitching dead snake in the back of a pickup is the easiest way for your herd dog to stay out of the truck for a long while :lol:...

I'm interested in the .444 loads that 6pt is discussing. But, I've used 26 grains of H4198 behind a Beartooth 405 grain bullet which was pleasant to shot and dang sure enough for the light bodied game around here.

I've fired a .308 in an AR platform with a 14.5" barrel made legal with a pinned and welded flash suppressor. So loud, it was just shy of painful to fire for me even with earplugs and muffs. I won't be buying any bullpup designs. YMMV. You run 'em out the back door while clearing the building. ...

I plan to buy more .22LR before the November 2012 election, and more primers, and another jug of powder.

I am not a student of subsonic sniper rounds because I have no need to be a sniper, yet. That could change in the future. From my experience with the .444Marlin, cartridges out of the main stream can be hard to find and expensive on a local basis. So, for me I can download my .308 using 125 grain bu...

I use a Lee mold 255 grain cast bullet wide meplat of Lyman#2 alloy with 7.5 grains of Red Dot in my Vaquero, and feel I have a good mid range load.

Apparently, it boils down to the circumstances on a given day with a given gun. Recently. LEOs hit a BG about 17 times--4-5 .223 and rest 9mm or .40S&W. BG had a headache after arrest.

I can't give an exact number, but I think most of our warriors get fewer than 100 practice rounds before seeing enemy engagement. And, with no uniformed adversary, sometimes suppressive fire is all that's allowed or too much collateral damage happens. Maybe instead of phosphorus to light up the nigh...

A citrous based BP replacement simply amazed me with what was left in my Ruger Vaquero barrel.

My intuition seems to tell me that most recent reloading manuals have reported more conservative loadings for a wider margin of safety. We had no chrony, but the Monarch ammo we shot out of .270, .308 and .30/06 was hot enough after 3 shots to jamb the bolt on all 3 guns, even trying to wait about 2...
