I for one am glad he has that as his location. A few years back when I saw it, out of curiosity I googled it, and was rewarded with some interesting historical accounts. I've often wondered what Jims connection was, but never asked.

...Why is it that when something is posted, it gets ignored? If your posts usually have vague ambiguous titles, that could be one reason. I only clicked out of curiosity. GOA does exactly what you are asking for. Alerts, senators numbers, and pre-written e-mails. NRA does not. Of course they are fo...

... oh ... as much as I like my AR .... I'll take a levergun any day .. they make great urban rifles, and LEs don't have the same heartburn over them ... I just hope we don't com out on the short end of the stick when the supreme court is done with us :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: +1 I like lever...

It's not shouting, it's called large font for impaired vision.

My daughter introduced us to the Red Greed show when she was in high school. What a funny guy. Miss that show. Found it on DVD and plan to order. Terry, sounds like your doin just fine, and no one that matters will mind if you vent here, thats for sure. I was thinkin it would be a real dirty trick ...

AR's are like Leggo's for adults. They are that easy to build. The home builder market is very well supported.

Rusty <><

Isn't the .280 a .308 based case? I'm thinking it was an AR10 platform.

Got a MilSpec myself. It's been OK, course it got a little dry a couple times, but ol Malamute fixed er up with some crankcase oil off the dipstick in his truck an she was runnin fine. I've noticed that milspec runs better a little wet, otherwise I get some stovepipes. I like the 1911 ok, but I'm in...

Hobie, as far as your statement about commonality of parts, that is exactly why I have not done a 6.8. I can get Pravi 75gr BTHP match for under $8 a box of 20, or reman Black Hills 77gr when its available for about the same price, and I dont have to switch caliber. The only reason I have even consi...

Here is a link to a PDF comparing the Grendel with 5.56, 6.8, and 7.62 NATO.

http://www.65grendel.com/graphics/grendelballistics.pdf

I'll have to do more research on the Grendal (sp?) vs the .22 Highpower type 77 gr. bullets. One possible consideration is that the .22 is NOT deer legal in this state. However, ammo availability might trump that. :wink: I've some experience with the system having been a pseudo unit armorer for man...

Hey Ken, no turban pics?

Nice deer. Send me some steaks. I didn't get out this year for elk.

Joe, it stands for Dept of Civilian Marksmanship. The DCM guns are set up for long range competition. Finer adjustments on the sights, heavy slow twist barrels for heavier bullets. trigger jobs, fitted bolts and lead in the but stock. You don't want to be packing one around, they are heavy! But the...

According to all the tecs at barrel, bullet and powder manufactuers the .223/5.56 gets about 25fps per inch in that 14-24" range, so from 16-24 you get 100fps. Some might call that important, others might not. There is however one major advantage the rifle length gas system has over the carbine...

Hobie, I don't think your too far off though. It's true that the 6.5 Grendal is better ballistically speaking, but how prevalent is it, and how easy is it to get ammunition for? Does the fact it uses the 7.62x39 case (easily the most manufactured case in the world) and it's made by the largest ammu...

The Grendel doesn't quite do it for me. Am I off-base? Yes, you are Hobie. :lol: The Grendal is much superior to the 6.8. The Grendal is also ballisically equivelent to the .308, and in some cases better. It uses a 7.62x39 case that is straightened then necked to .264, which means it uses a common ...

Joe, most manufacturers make what you are looking for. It's the A2, or civilian version of the M-16A2. Standard trapdoor buttstock with cleaning kit, carry handle with A2 elevation and windage adjustable sights, 20in 1in7 5.56 chrome lined barrel, flash hider and bayonet lug. Should be able to order...

Saloon Slug, I just sat through a SARC briefing this morning where the lady told me that most black women do not report sexual assault because they think the justice system is unfair to black men. I shook my head in a crowded room and said "BS". I had a lot of people look at me, but I cou...

It most likely says, "Micro Vue" not Micro Groove. These were made by Precision Instrument in the 1950's and 60's, but if it's the later 1970's with aluminum body, it's made in Japan. They are very high quality scopes, especially those made in Japan, and have great optics. I've got one fo...

A buddy of mine I hadn't talked to in awhile was just telling me about this rifle he traded into. Found out he's been wackin elk and deer with it using the Hornady gummy tips and he's crazy about the combo. Kinda funny for someone who used to be a bolt guy :lol: . Also found out he's gone to using a...

I always liked this one better. More features. I like the PM feature. This way you can contact a member privately without useing E-mail.

I think a Marlin 1894 in .357 makes a good little all around plinker and small deer hunter. Then tell the wife you need a .22 so you can practice cheap. Then start collecting, with a 336 next on the list.

There should not be any problem with Dennis going down to UPS and shipping the gun to the receiving FFL himself. I have done this with forum members here and elsewhere, they dont even require the receiving FFL's paperwork anymore. Perhaps NE has some laws I don't know about, or some dealers won't re...

I carry a 1911 IWB or a Taurus compact 9mm (yea yea :P ) but I bought one of those SP 101's 5 years back for the wife. It sits in the glove box and once in awhile I stick it in a front pocket. It doesn't bother me to shoot, but both the wife and daughter prefer to shoot the 1911 over everything. It ...

OK Sore Shoulder : I can send them tomorrow if you'd like. Sure, is Postal MO ok? I am on my way out of town until Fri, if you want to wait thats fine. Have to help an old buddy get his CO so he can move in and roll his construction loan over. I sent you a PM, not used to Leverguns having that feat...

I'd be interested in at least one or 2 of the Glocks if they're reasonable. Please keep us posted.

I use a 185gr in my .45acp at 1100fps or so. I use a heavy Lee FC also. Looks like I'm in good company.

Marlin, simple, easy to work on, comes in a stainless 45-70, carries just as well as the Winnie I traded off IMO, made in the US, still made in the US. still made.

Buy C-products mags here for 9.95-12.95. Do not pay $20 for a Bushy or any other mag, they are probably made by C-products anyway. Buy as many as you can while you can. Same with ammo. Cabelas has good prices on bulk Wolf, and yes, you can safely use steel cased ammo in your AR. http://www.aimsurplu...

I'd like to be put on the backup list for those sticks 86er.
