I don’t think this could have been said any better and it definitely is about time someone said it. Hopefully, this will go out over EVERY computer in the U.S. and maybe, just maybe, these sports people will get the message of just how ridiculous they are to disrespect our flag, and how little what they do in sports compare to what our great military has done for this country.. NFL protesting the flag - POWERFUL!! Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following: Commissioners, I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium. I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it. Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins. Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country besides playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were! You are complicit in this! You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly? I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone? Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not. These players should be fined and never play football again on any team. Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms. Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes. I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you! Time to change the channel. Powers originally sent his letter to former Florida congressman Allen West. West then posted the letter on his news website. As of last week, at least 18 NFL player had protested the anthem by either kneeling during the anthem or raising their fists, according to USA Today Sports. If you agree with what he said please pass this on.

Great advice, thanks. Thought about punching holes in the cans but was indeed afraid they would explode & you'd read about me in some Dumbest site. Good to know it won't go to waste.

Anyone else ever have problems w/ aerosol gun oil/clp cans stop spraying? I usually use RemOil & sometimes BreakFree. I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong but lots of times I can't get them to spray anymore. They w/ still have plenty of oil inside but it w/ not come out. Just wasting $. Would like to at least be able to extract the remaining oil somehow but don't know how. Thank you.

My condolences. Great looking dog. Went through it in Dec. No more for me. Never going through that again.

Where?

The 12 is $835 & I forget what the others were. I think somewhere in that neighborhood.

Just a shout out to Dave the owner. Heck of a nice guy! Very professional, courteous, helpful & always available. I've dealt w/ him for years & always a pleasure.

They had (2) 12's & 1 each 7.62X39 & 7.62X54. They w/ go fast! FYI

Heads-up to anyone looking for one. Cheyenne Mtn. Outfitters had one as of this eve. $699.

Due to the Ukraine situation.

Due to the Ukraine situation.

DirtyDigz got it.

I had my NICS denied because I was a few days early. Out $15.00 since you have to repeat. That's bad enough but then later on some retired guy working for the State Police calls inquiring why? I told him it was a simple mistake. He was nice enough & explained to be careful in the future or risk penalties, etc. Once again a reminder of how this state SUCKS!!!

i bought an N-PAP recently. Haven't gotten a chance to fire it yet but it seems well made.

Thanks. I initially recommended a Vepr but he disliked the thumb hole stock. Wanted a traditional look. Then a WASR but he didn't want one. So he called IO, got a whatchamacallit #? & they said they'd fix/replace it. Hope they do & lesson learned.

My friend bought an IO 247C from some dealer at a PA gun show a month or so ago & just picked it up. He's having problems w/ it so I told him I'd ask you experts what you think. He's going to contact Century for what good it w/ do. Issues according to him: The bracket that holds the bottom forearm (The one around the barrel) is loose even after locking it in place. Gas tube forearm (top) bracket closer to the receiver is spinning when trying to put the wood back on. Dust cover, the button won't come thru it to hold the cover in place. And the action sometimes stays open while racking it. Thanks

Very nice!

Tried their website # but not good. Need to call & speak w/ someone about renewing my membership. Does anyone have a # I can call. Preferably the treasurer. Walt Bachman??? PM me. Thanks.

Pls. Pls. Pls. Someone PM me as soon as these are available. Thank you.

Maybe the buyer is going to mount it on an AK???

Regardless it didn't work out. Seller was shady. They're back to looking. Thanks to everybody for your replies & a big thank you to Mipafox for your kind offer to do research.

Great price! I thought I had found the cheapest @ $635.

They aren't concerned. The builder is building his own house across the street. Again, thanks guys. I can only pass on my reservations. They trust the EPA, township, etc. Yeah, right!

Ok thanks. I passed on your replies. Can only hope they heed the advice. You can lead a horse to water but...

Daughter & son-in-law are most likely going to be putting in an offer on the above, Lakehurst Rd. I think it is. 3 1/2 acres. Well water. Decent price but I just found out about the Superfund from a fellow at the RC Club located on the SF site. He advised they should do their research. Wouldn't drink the water regardless. I spoke to a builder who suggested they have a Perk test done, testing the ground, to find out about sinkage. 2K. They ain't gonna go for that, having all $ tied up in a down payment, etc. Besides, son-in-law is certain the house wouldn't be approved, inspection-passed, etc. if unsafe & basement would be flooded if on water. I don't know??? Superfund ended way back but who the hell knows? Leeching! There's politics. Pay-offs. Look at all the cancer rates by landfills various places. Just scares me. Grandkids potentially living there. Paranoid??? Thoughts much appreciated.
