Vicious

I bought a Nexus 5 straight form Google Play Store (play.Google.com). I got the SIM card free from my carrier.

M1 Garand! Not a stripper clip, though. En-bloc clips are better!

Lol, so many reasons this should happen!

Good thing it's not in my possession. I will have to inform him of that. Maybe I'll ask for 15 links. He owned his own auto-mechanic shop for a long time. He has every tool you can imagine, mostly snap-on. Prior to owning his own shop, he owned two gas stations and before that he was an electrician, and before that he was a plumber. lol I've learned a lot from him.

Thanks for the info! It should make a cool decoration.

Found this in my grandfather's shop. Looks like some kind of belted ammo. It is stamped LC 77 (Lake City). The primers are all struck, no projectile present.

I have NEVER seen a successful weight loss drug. I'm lucky to have been born naturally slim. No matter how much I eat, I stay the same weight. There are two things that I have seen work: 1. Surgery. Get your stomach stapled. If you do this and don't cheat, you WILL see results. This causes pain and discomfort if you try to overeat. 2. Cardio. One of my friends was obese, and he tried different OTC pills and supplements, but nothing worked. He joined in on one of my friends workout routines, and he lost significant weight, and gained a lot of muscle too. He is still a big framed guy (he is about 6' 2") but he has a shape and only a mild gut. Plus, when working out, you don't have to cut down on your food intake (much), you only need to make diet changes (by removing/ replacing certain truly unhealthy items). It has also done wonders for his self-esteem, and he now looks forward to working out.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the weird one for getting upset at it. lol

If I had confronted him, he may have gotten violent. In his eyes I (a gun owner) probably look like a vicious animal to him.

Lol, thanks for the backup. It is hard to tune it out. One should not speak like a dictator when in America. It just ain't right.

Red Robin, Secaucus.

I'm currently sitting at a table, and the guy behind me is talking about how the second amendment was written because we had to defend ourselves against Indians, and that it's no longer relevant. Then he started talking about confiscation and how easy it would be. All while using nonsense "facts." His stupidity is killing my appetite. Lol. Someone come here and talk guns with me, loudly.

From group of hobby enthusiasts to cyber terrorists overnight. Lol

I use that stock as well. Easy to undo when I move to a free state.

That's pretty neat. I'm on the fence about doing something like this. Target pics please!

Same as the rifles, shipped to an FFL. As for going there to pick up, I assume that they would have to still be shipped to an FFL.

Thanks for the info, don't want to spread the wrong stuff!

If it shakes, it shoots. They are still pretty accurate because of the collet bushing. I'm hoping that the CMP would sell them a bit under market value (sub 2k+). Personally, I see the attraction, and I am already sold. IMHO the issued 1911s are one of the most (if not the most) iconic American firearms. If you don't pick up a Garand and get a smirk on your face, then they may not be for you. Buy > Shoot a bit > Grope a lot.

It's a great little gun. It's basically a Ruger MkIII upper on a 1911 style frame. I love mine. I wanted to sell it to fund other projects, but I couldn't go through with it. lol http://www.ruger.com/products/2245Target/models.html

I don't think he meant a 1911 clone in 22lr, I believe he was talking about the Ruger 22/45.

IIRC, NJ does not recognize antiques, and you need a FID (CoE and matching ID) to purchase one. There are some exceptions to the rule when it comes to ownership (if it is already in your possession for certain reasons), but you didn't give much info.

I have had one for a few years now and I love it. It is more accurate than I am. I handed it to a Marine that I met at The Bullet Hole once, and he put (his first) 3 shots through the same hole at 8 yards. I have put about 1k (not THAT many for a .22, I know) rounds through it and have never had a malfunction. That being said, it has only had CCI mini mags and other plated ammo through it. The lead stuff goes through my SP101 in .22. It's not that I think the lead stuff would induce malfunctions, I just don't like to open it up after every range trip. As you stated, it is a pain to disassemble. It's not technically difficult, it just requires a lot of force. it does loosen up a bit over time. When reassembling it, just pay attention to the manual. It makes it easier. There are no other cons that I can think of (that are unique to this semi-auto .22). I would recommend it. It is a fun little .22. I taught my girlfriend (who was very gun shy) how to shoot on it, and she now owns a BHP in 9mm. If you get it, enjoy! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I tried it again tonight. I receive the following: Dear Valued Customer, Trijicon introduced the Veterans Blue Star Promotion to thank those veterans we met at various events around the country. We passed a few discount cards out at a couple of shows over the past few months. The program has made its way into social media and we have been inundated with requests to extend the program to veterans at large. We are not prepared to use this program on that scale. So, we will honor the discounts as promised to those people that possess a numbered card presented at an event. We will not extend this program beyond those card holders. However, the overwhelming response has demonstrated the need for a structured promotion for veterans. We will get to work on a program that offers attractive rebates on products purchased through our distribution partners. We appreciate your service and we want to offer a program that honors that service. Please stay tuned to Trijicon.com and check with your local retailing dealers for further details in the months to come. Trijicon does offer a substantial discount to US military personnel on active duty, members of the reserve components and National Guard, retired military and federal employees. Your cost is the same as what the federal government pays, which is about 18-25% off the retail price. For more information please contact us at [email protected]. Thanks, Trijicon, Inc. Basically a long no-go.

That promo doesn't work. Tried it.

Thanks Shane45, solid wisdom. I guess my real problem is trying to predict what my envelope will be... Variable does seem like the most well rounded choice, however, considering your post in it's entirety, I don't think I need that type of flexibility. My AO (so to speak) doesn't have many places where you would need that kind of magnification (i.e. don't get caught in the middle of the street). Plus, with my rifle/ skills it would be ideal for me to keep things a bit closer. I really think High Exposure hit the nail with the RDS and binoculars. lol IMHO the best kind fight is the one you can avoid. Especially in a SHTF.
