  1. You like carbines that take mags from the same pistol? http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/rifle/cmr-30
  2. This is seriously the best idea to come along in a very long time! Whether you dislike the NRA or not, this is by far the best plan to fight the antigunners: Watch until the end...it's a bit of a slow starter. And if you are too lazy to go to youtube to get the information: Michael Bloomberg 17 East 79th StreetNew York, NY 10075 https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/gift.asp
  3. Had my wife and daughter do it. My daughter commented "Because nobody likes Obama anymore."
  4. Oh yeah. Another personal dislike I have with the grip lasers, they are on the right hand side and top of the grip for both semi-autos and revolvers. When a right-handed shooter has their finger out of the trigger guard and along the frame, the laser is blocked by the trigger finger.
  5. Pros: One adjusted/zeroed they are on target - out to a crazy distance away, they have you focus upon the laser/on the target (which you do automatically under intense stress), they are pretty good for training people to know where their muzzle is pointed so it becomes instinctual. Cons: Red washes out in daylight/green is temperature sensitive (so you can not tell for certain where you are aiming), they do not illuminate the target for positive identification, contrary to popular Hollywood mythology a person with a laser aimed at them doesn't see a beam cutting towards them, shooters that have them seem to be lost without them. I personally don't have any lasers but do have a multitude of students show up with firearms that already have them attached. Here in the desert, even on a bright cloudy day, you can lose sight of the laser on a black target. On a sunny day, it will even disappear on a white plate. An enormous amount of time has been spent saying "Is it on? I can't see it. Can you see it?" DON'T POINT IT AT YOUR HAND DAMMIT!! The lasers that affix to a rail or are integral (think S&W Bodyguard .380) are best. The ones that mount to the trigger guard work but seem to be a bit flimsy for up close social affairs. The guide rod lasers have an annoying ability to shift the point of impact feet in between shots, though some are praised highly as "good enough for pistol range". I have no experience with those.
  6. Welcome from AZ Gene!
  7. Thanks and Happy New Year brothers! Let's get this prosperity going!
  8. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but rumor has it there was a mishap when cleaning up after 'fridge training. The only evidence is a grainy photograph.
  9. Dancing banana man disappears. Tom disappears. Coincidence?
  10. That's okay. Hemi and I will have a beer with him, check his story out.
  11. Welcome from AZ!
  12. I would agree except this dude formally and publicly denounced islam, making him apostate and subject to immediate death by any mooselimb that cares to try.
  13. Chick-Fil-A stops serving cole slaw. But here's the recipe. http://news.yahoo.com/chick-fil-had-brilliant-response-185945809.html?nf=1
  14. Right on!
  15. Hey hemi!! Sending some snow your way. Should be there in a few more hours.
  16. This mechanic's glossary is spot on: These hilarious automotive tool definitions have been floating around on the Internet for some time now with no credit to the author. Sensitive to such things because people have plagiarized and out-and-out stolen stuff that I've written, I decided to track down the author. Much to my surprise and pleasure, it was none other than Peter Egan, one of my all-time favorite automotive writers. This piece originally appeared in Road & Track, April 1996 in Peter's column, Side Glances. The original column has a half-page introduction and some additional definitions, so I recommend you try to obtain that issue of R&T. It was also reprinted in the book, Side Glances, Vol. 2, 1992-1997 by Peter Egan, published by Brooklands Books Ltd., a wonderfuil collection of 66 or Peter's columns.Hammer: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive car parts not far from the object we are trying to hit. Mechanic's Knife: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on boxes containing convertible tops or tonneau covers. Electric Hand Drill: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling rollbar mounting holes in the floor of a sports car just above the brake line that goes to the rear axle. Hacksaw: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. Vise-Grips: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. Oxyacetelene Torch: Used almost entirely for lighting those stale garage cigarettes you keep hidden in the back of the Whitworth socket drawer (What wife would think to look in there?) because you can never remember to buy lighter fluid for the Zippo lighter you got from the PX at Fort Campbell Zippo Lighter: See oxyacetelene torch. Whitworth Sockets: Once used for working on older British cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for hiding six-month old Salems from the sort of person who would throw them away for no good reason. Drill Press: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against the Rolling Stones poster over the bench grinder. Wire Wheel: Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar callouses in about the time it takes you to say, "Django Reinhardt". Hydraulic Floor Jack: Used for lowering a Mustang to the ground after you have installed a set of Ford Motorsports lowered road springs, trappng the jack handle firmly under the front air dam. Eight-Foot Long Douglas Fir 2X4: Used for levering a car upward off a hydraulic jack. Tweezers: A tool for removing wood splinters. Phone: Tool for calling your neighbor Chris to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack. Snap-On Gasket Scraper: Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for getting dog-doo off your boot. E-Z Out Bolt and Stud Extractor: A tool that snaps off in bolt holes and is ten times harder than any known drill bit. Timing Light: A stroboscopic instrument for illuminating grease buildup on crankshaft pulleys. Two-Ton Hydraulic Engine Hoist: A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground straps and hydraulic clutch lines you may have forgotten to disconnect. Craftsman 1/2 x 16-inch Screwdriver: A large motor mount prying tool that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end without the handle. Battery Electrolyte Tester: A handy tool for transferring sulfuric acid from car battery to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought. Aviation Metal Snips: See Hacksaw. Trouble Light: The mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin", which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading. Phillips Screwdriver: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; can also be used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads. Air Compressor: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty suspension bolts last tightened 40 years ago by someone in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and rounds them off. Grease Gun: A messy tool for checking to see if your zerk fittings are still plugged with rust.
  17. Welcome from AZ, Keith!
  18. Should have read ".300 WSM". Those WSSMs were...special.
  19. No it isn't. It's .300 WSM, stainless...and my precious. We just need to get him a decent-er scope.
  20. Boy that sucks. I was just telling my wife this morning "If it's this cold here, I bet Pecos is really cold." Then we heard the I-10 is closed in New Mexico. You got enough beer Larry?
  21. Welcom from AZ!
  22. Haven't seen it either brother. This even happened when I was just getting good and pissed at central authority, under the administration at that time. Hands-tied fighting...wrong way to do it.
  23. Glad to see this being challenged in two different circuits: http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/federal-machine-gun-ban-under-legal-challenge/
