FYI - film still rules. Great pics, OP - thanks.

Light on the right, Aimpoint on top. Others in different configurations, but overall, yep. Few quick photos from the internet.

Nice CX. As a BSG fan, I always wanted to pick one up. Who knows why; same reason some guys love green '68 fastback Mustangs, I guess.

Whatever shotgun (Benelli, Mossberg) and handgun strikes my fancy that day, plus all the antibiotics I can find. Dysentery and cholera will get more people than lead poisoning. But in zombie apocalypse land, my tacti-cool PTR-91 and S&W 686P... everybody goes out eventually, but very, very few do it with style.

Yes they're good... and given things of late, I'm willing to cut vendors some slack regarding limits and OOS items.

Funny because it's so, so true; I can think of at least one other person who probably wishes he never got out of his car...

I like where you're going with the letter; goodluck.

EOTW? Keeping up with the Kardashians: The Movie

So true... lol

My mistake, I failed to identify that part of my post as sarcasm. So no, Marines don't, but others like Customs, Immigration, Secret Service and the U.S. Coast Guard do. And my point stands: if you want the services to function, give them tools to do their job. Things in the government take time, and the contracts and a supply chain need to be in place. Of course, the tin-foil hat types, who think agencies operate with a single voice and purpose see conspiracies and lies everywhere - YMMV. Personally I think Congress should stop wasting time and work on more important issues.

Does anyone in Congress even understand how government procurement works? Or do they think the Marines just swing by Cabelas before each deployment?

Ah, this thread makes me nostalgic for the days when men of steel and ships of wood sailed the seven seas...

Tough call: fire one bullet as a warning, or just let him take your flatscreen? These days, they cost about the same...

The retail profit on firearms is slim - the real business is in accessories (targets, cleaning supplies, bullets, cases, scopes, etc.). So I'm guessing Cabela's studied the market and assumed that one store in PA is close enough. And there's a Bass Pro in MD. First, Cabelas already ships here. I know, because I buy a lot of things from them. Second, what can a Cabela's retail location in NJ offer - beyond what REI, CampMor, Dick's, and Sport's Authority already offer?

Why ask a question if you're looking for one answer? Anyway, here's the deal: BOTH can fail, because the user is the weak link. For example, I broke down my Mossberg 500 for a serious cleaning (this gun is from the '70s and is 100% reliable) but I forgot to tighten/Loctite the front grip ring. About 15 clays in, racking a slide during a round of skeet, the ring worked loose. The slide popped right off while the BCG stayed in the "open" position. Embarrassing. But I've also seen people select the wrong barrel on an O/U; it just goes "click" when the clay flies. Likewise, semi-auto: established design or cheap import? They can jam, though quality ones are really, really reliable (see Benelli M4). Shooting at a clay range or some slug/buck tactical class? Put a case of whatever you're shooting through your gun, in one day, and see what happens. As is said, most likely, the weak link is between the keyboard and the monitor. No matter what you choose: 1) Buy a quality gun 2) Shoot it a lot 3) Don't assume some kind of "End of Scarface" legendary gun battle is about to happen because you are putting the cart before the horse.

M2 Field with Comfortec. It's so nice, I don't even have to shoot it. Clays just break themselves.

Yeah, from what I understand, Recessed Filter posted, "Hey, let's meet up" and people just showed up... I went to the first one but haven't been able to make it since. That said, I'm in for tomorrow with at least a +2 and a new shooter. We won't be there until 3 or so and we're bringing a thrower; if you guys are still shooting we'll join the crowd. Oh and I'm bringing my new Benelli.

Interesting read - thanks. Counterpoint, VuurwapenBlog's response: "I am not a Sheepdog"

Had an older Model 60 with the full tube (gave away to a relative before I moved here) and now I have a Model 795. Got it for $125 with a $25 rebate from The Store That Shall Not Be Named. Upgraded with a Boyds stock and Tech Sights. Agreed, great plinkers; highly recommended in any variant.

Fulop Enlisted in the Marines after 9/11 and was deployed to Iraq... and now he runs marathons in his free time and competed in the Ironman Championships to raise money for veterans. Meanwhile, Mayor Healy got drunk and was photographed naked on his front porch because of "diabetes." But don't believe my random ranting; Google News search for "Healy" and "Drunk" and enjoy. In conclusion, some people (even "pro 2A" guys on this fourm) will talk about all the great things that Healy has "done" as "mayor" - but they're probably on his payroll, so ignore them. You can be pro 2A, or pro Healy, but you can't be both. How can we kick him out? Tell everyone you know about all Healy has "done" for us. I'm doing all I can.

If you enjoy being restricted to one gun per month, thank Jersey City Mayor Jeremiah Healy for enacting the one-gun law in Jersey City. It was struck down by the state Supreme Court, but later introduced to the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Corzine for the whole state. Healy is up for re-election on May 14.

I recall a post on this site about this... and here it is. Consensus: maybe? Hyper velocity stuff (1,600 fps+) not recommended by mfg., but safe for bolt/semi rifles, assuming good condition. CAN you shoot it in a HG? Yes. Does Hyper-velocity cause more wear? Jury still out. Is it dangerous? Some people said they have and had no problems; others (myself included) say it isn't mfg. recommended so wouldn't risk it. Aguila is based in Mexico; you see their banners in competitions like ISSF World Cup Trap and Skeet. I believe they are to South America what Federal is to the US, but don't quote me. I've shot a lot of Aguila .22 and 9mm, and they make good stuff. I shot the 40 gr. LRN standard velocity .22 LR to great effect from my Savage bolt. The HV stuff cycles fine in my Ruger 22/45 and Marlin 795. Standard Velocity doesn't cycle well in the Ruger - I think the bolt is too heavy. IMHO, Aguila is vastly superior to golden bullet and Federal bulk . I'd place it a tiny notch below CCI. Aguila cost $26 - $35 per 500 pre-crisis, so not bad. Enjoy.

Cool - as long as we keep growing the sport.

+1,000 I'm taking a few non gun owners I work with shooting next weekend. What do you think contributes more to our cause: introducing four people who have never shot a gun to shooting as a safe, responsible and fun sport, or posting on a forum "boycotting" Dicks for being "Un-American?"

Making magazines is simple! Making magazines, that actually work, by yourself, in a basement? Without access to a fully equipped shop, plenty of stock, money, and a test range? Near impossible.
