  1. These guys don't fuk around.
  2. I'm pretty excited by this, right here - I'd love to have a go at that 30-06, man! Pics, please!
  3. I love this thing... It's gonna cost me $$$....
  4. You gonna TALK about it, or you gonna BE about it?... I'm not instigating or anything... All jokes aside, THAT carbine is now my favorite .308 AR. Hands down. I'll take that thing over the others. Well, I'd take Matt's Mega, but that's not one of mine...
  5. Here is John R. Lott's opinion - which is a very valid one. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/11/06/texas-shooting-liberal-media-fixates-on-laws-that-wouldnt-have-stopped-attack-ignores-good-guy-with-gun.html Texas shooting: Liberal media fixates on laws that wouldn't have stopped attack, ignores good guy with gun Before knowing almost anything about Sunday’s mass public shooting, gun control advocates are once again calling for more gun control. The attack at the First Baptist Church in tiny Sutherland Springs, Texas, claimed 26 lives and left people with an understandable desire to “do something.” One thing is certain: the proposals put forward by gun control advocates wouldn’t have stopped this attack. What they ignored was what stopped the killer was a good guy with a gun. As one witness said, without the good guy with a gun it “would have been much worse.” If more people were carrying guns, the attack might have been stopped even faster and more lives would have been saved. Democratic Senators such as Dick Durbin (Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Bob Casey (Pa.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), and Kamala Harris (Calif.) all immediately made statements that were various versions of, “Congress must act.” The media spent all day after the attack rhetorically asking whether now was the time for more gun control. CNN’s Jim Acosta repeatedly asked if President Trump is, “Content . . . with these mass shootings exploding every month or so.” Today, the day after the shooting, we know some more about the killer. We now know that one of the victims who attended the church was his ex-mother-in-law. That his conviction was for cracking the skull of his infant son years ago. That he had a “bad conduct” discharge from the military. If the media waited even a few hours, they would have learned that their calls for regulations — primarily for “universal” background checks — wouldn’t have stopped this attack. Indeed, their proposals wouldn’t have stopped any of the other mass public shootings in the last couple decades. Kelley bought a gun at a gun store, and he passed the background check that the store conducted on him. Lying on the form doesn’t help you evade the computer background check. Others on MSNBC immediately called for limiting magazine capacities, but a magazine is just a box with a spring in it. They can be made with very simple tools, and now-a-days 3D printers make it an even easier project. We still don’t know if Kelley planned this attack long in advance, though he bought the gun back in April 2016. It is very common for killers to plan mass public shootings one or two years in advance. It's not serious to think that a ban is going to keep anyone other than law-abiding people from obtaining a magazine. During his press conference early Monday morning in Japan, President Trump worried that the attack was the result of a "mental health problem at the highest level" and called the gunman a, “very deranged individual.” Kelley may well have been suffering from a mental illness, but mental health evaluations shouldn’t be counted for much help. Psychiatrists and psychologists have an extremely poor track record in identifying those who pose a threat to others. Half of the mass public shooters of the Obama years were seeing mental health professionals prior to their attacks. None of these experts identified the killers as a danger to others. Elliot Rodger, who killed six and injured 14 others near the University of California at Santa Barbara, fooled not only sheriff’s deputies but also the internationally-known Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy is medical director for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. That ought to give people pause before they assume that there’s an easy solution for identifying dangerous individuals. We know that the attack at the Texas church could have been even worse if it wasn’t for an armed civilian. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, “A local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect, the suspect dropped his rifle and fled from the church.” Something should be done, but the question is what. Texas lets each church decide whether to allow permitted concealed handguns, and we don’t know whether this particular church allowed it. What we do know is that time is crucial. The longer it takes for someone to arrive at the scene with a gun, the more people who will be harmed. If the media and politicians want to do something effective, they could take a page out of Israel’s playbook. When there is a surge in terrorist attacks , Israeli police call on permitted civilians to make sure that they have their guns with them at all times. Police tend to support an increase in permits. “What would help most in preventing large-scale shootings in public?” PoliceOne asked its 450,000 American officer members in 2013. The most common answer: “More permissive concealed carry policies for civilians.” Eighty percent of the surveyed officers believed that allowing permitted concealed handguns would reduce the number of victims of mass public shootings. Thank God, there was a good guy with a gun on Sunday in Sulpher Springs.
  6. He had a BCD (Bad Conduct Discharge), which is separate from the Dishonorable Discharge. He still should have been reported, but wasn't for some reason. Technically, the asshead didn't lie on his 4473, but the NICS check process would have caught the BCD, if the Pentagon had reported it, upon his discharge, like they damn well should have. The guy knew it when he filled out the 4473, but that's playing word games, and that's what he did when he filled it out. Get ready for the next version of the 4473, to include BCD in the same paragraph. It will happen. Tomi Lahren sounds off about this liberal reaction to this tragic incident: http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/11/06/tomi-lahren-final-thoughts-calls-gun-control-after-texas-church-shooting
  7. This is very close to my standard 300BLK load, Hornady 150gr FMJ-BT and 16.1gr H110. Excellent accuracy and good punch.
  8. It's imprinted on the barrel. If you look at the other detailed pics in the product listing, they might still have the pic that shows the barrel markings - I looked at that before I bought the barrel, but was going to buy it anyway if it was 1:8". It's marked "7.62AM SS 1:10." Here's the beast"
  9. It's a typo - and I've contacted Armalite about it. They don't seem to care. They copied most of the description for these barrels right from the 5.56 version/listings (which, those two 3-Gun barrels in 5.56 are 1:8 twist). One day, they'll change it to 1:10" like it really is. Or, they won't. They didn't seem to care that I pointed it out to them. I have the 13.5" .308 Win barrel, and it's a 1:10" twist. Shoots like a champ, too. Rob was the first one to fire it up, and it does run. MAN, does it run!...
  10. That's a damn good looking rifle. Well done.
  11. That's the solution. We just don't have enough good guys with guns in this nation - because of the PC bs. We need to safely manufacture more armed good guys, and make sure they're installed on every corner, everywhere, always. Seriously.
  12. Just saw that news - this is sad. I can't, in any way, come up with any real solutions that would put an end to this stuff... Something has to be done.
  13. ^^^ That fukkin' pistol right there. DAMN!!! That is a NICE SHOOTER!!!
  14. ^^^ TRUE!!!
  15. Tomi Lahren: How Many More Americans Have to Die Before We Throw Away the PC Garbage? Check it... Great vid. http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/11/01/tomi-lahrens-final-thoughts-nyc-terror-attack-throw-away-pc-garbage
  16. Oh shiit... This is gonna be good. Tanner is awesome.
  17. Do it everyday at work.
  18. I want it in my truck. I'll REALLY be blowing out transfer cases then! Hell yeah! Mopar is now selling the ultimate way to resurrect your classic car. For the first time, it’s offering the 707 hp supercharged V8 from the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat as a crate motor that it calls (surprise, surprise) “The Hellcrate.” Up until now, a Dodge Challenger or Charger was probably sacrificed for any custom Hellcat build you’ve seen. There’s also an engine kit with a powertrain control module, wiring harnesses, oxygen sensors, an accelerator pedal and the other equipment that allow for “plug and play” installation. The motor costs $19,530, while the engine kit goes for $2,195. Keep in mind, the Hellcat is the second-most powerful American motor ever made, next to the Demon version of it. Unfortunately, the Hellcrate is only certified for use in pre-1976 vehicles due to emissions certifications, so any dreams you’ve had of building a Dodge Pacifica Hellcat will have to wait. But, if you ever wanted a Dodge Dart that really flies or a Colt that runs like a thoroughbred, your life just got a lot easier.
  19. Just so everyone that reads this knows - Ron and I are NOT making fun of, or making light of, the situation that killed people on American soil. We are NOT. The banter between us is pent-up frustration over the gun-grabbers that always have their GO TO line on gun violence. THey NEVER blame the person-with-the-fucking-problem, they blame the gun. In this instance, I can't wait to see WHAT they blame. I'll bet they blame Trump, for not having Uzbek on his terror, no-import-these-fuckers list... that they want to ban in the first place. Wonder how long it takes Home Depot to stop offering rental trucks?... Fucking absurd.
  20. Prius. That's what they want all of us to drive anyway, and it eliminates all these evil "trucks" that are such deadly weapons... just like ARs and all other semi-autos. THOSE are the REAL killers. I can't believe you don't see that already....
  21. Ban Trucks. NOW. Ban them, they're too dangerous, and it's proven all over the world in the last couple years. Check this one:
  22. ^^^ I'm getting to that point, Mack.
  23. They hit us. This one can't be explained away by liberals as a right-wing nutcase - even though they've all been left-wing... Terrorism by truck got us, and this ain't Timothy McVeigh and OKC. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/31/nyc-terror-attack-leaves-8-dead-several-injured-suspects-notes-pledged-isis-loyalty.html
