Malice4you

About 3 years ago, I ordered from Grey Ghost. At the time, I believe they were a clearing house for discontinued Tactical Tailor stuff - such as tan or ACU. They shipped out everything I ordered quickly, and were overall a good place to deal with. I was happy with them and placed multiple orders with them, but nothing in the last 2 years. I'm not sure what they are doing now - they seem to have a lot more gear. I'm not sure if they are still mostly Tactical Tailor, if they make their own gear now, or if they carry a bunch of brands now that may range in quality (or all of the above).

It was great to see everyone, both new and familiar faces. Had a great time shooting, went through a bunch of ammo. Thanks everyone for a great day. (I was the guy with the Malice hat & shirt, for reference)

100-175 typically. I'll have 175 or 200 with me tomorrow. See you guys then...

Thankfully, they aren't really aggressive, and they won't really attack you unless you really provoke them. Yeah, they look scary, and if you get close to their home, they may buzz you, but that's the extent of things, based on my experience. Other cicada killers are a different story, however. They will have lots of dogfights with each other, and any injured or even dead cicada killers attract the attention of others, so that's a good way to get the bees to one area if you want to get rid of more of them. They are really good at burrowing and digging up large piles of dirt, especially around the edge of a brick walkway in front of the house, so those ones are the ones I target. If you kill one, they can still sting for a while, so be aware of that...

Airsoft guns shooting three .2 gram BBs at 280fps sometimes only stun them, so I seriously doubt this would have ANY effect on them. They make great moving targets for airsoft guns, however...especially those times you can shoot one out of the air. I remember the first one I ever saw, I couldn't believe the size of the damn thing. Some I've seen at my house are larger than a finger...

In +1 or maybe +2 Also, an FYI: Dicks has Federal 12G, 2 3/4", #8 breast cancer shells as buy 4 ($6.99 ea) get 1 free. I didn't see this advertised and didn't find out until I was home and looked at the receipt. Dunno if there's a limit, but if not, would make it $56 a case

Gunbroker is (or, can be,) a great place to find pricing. It is also a great place to find very specific models - I wanted a Sig 1911 TTT a few years ago, before I was on this forum. My local guys couldn't find that model, so I had to go online to find one (and I do mean one...I got the only one on gunbroker at the time.) My tastes have gotten much more specific, and I don't always feel the need to handle something in-store before I make a purchase. Finding a Sig P220 Elite Dark or West German P228 or whatever other models I have my eyes out for locally can be difficult, so whenever I have the money to buy these, I will try the forum price request first, and if/when I cannot find the models locally, online I will go.

Thanks for posting, I just changed my password. Remember, if your linked email address uses the same password, you should change that as well. Many users have one password they use everywhere, making it very easy for a hacker to gain access to everything if they can get into your email...

Might be there, long as I force myself to leave by around 12:30-1:00 for an event I have to attend. I've been itching to do some shotgun shooting...and managed to miss out on every single one for a few months

I used it on my S5 to pay for part of the S5. Once I logged in, all I had to do was put the phone near the reader, and confirm on the screen I wanted to spend my $50 credit...pretty sure that was all there was to it. It was fast, but I'll never use it again simply because I don't want to. I logged out of Isis, disabled NFC, and then disabled the Isis app on my phone. Be aware they (Amex) will be sending you a physical "prepaid" card in the mail that they want you to load money onto. I have to call Amex to delete the account...I haven't figured out how to get rid of it online...

Don't be silly - you can't put a thread from a forum into your bug out bag. He printed out a copy of that list, and wrote "To Do:" on it, and THEN placed it in his bug out bag. At least, that's how I did it.

Glad it was something simple... I just got my S5 a few days ago, and I came from an Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) phone...the number of settings, and location of all the settings, is kinda overwhelming when first going through everything after being used to the older phone. Most people wouldn't have to tinker with most of the stuff that I did, but I like to personalize the phone as much as I can without having to root it... Now that I've got it set up how I like it....I'm really liking the phone and I'm glad I waited...

in your apps, look for "My Files" and open that. On the S5, I get a bunch of info on files, like videos, documents, images, etc, plus a link to the download folder, and what we are looking for: Local Storage. Under Local Storage, I've got "Device Storage" and "SD Card" - on my SD card I have a directory called LOST.DIR. On my older Androids, "My Files" leads directly to the file system of the phone, and I believe it is Ext_SD or External_SD that will get you to your MicroSD card. If that folder is full of randomly-named files, then it may be a concern. Do you run antivirus on the phone? Do you use the normal messaging program that came with the phone, or something else?

I'm on an S5, not an S4, so I don't have this problem...but suggestions: Try changing the ringtone to something different, then changing it back...I've noticed that my other phones like to do that kinda crap to me. I assume you checked both the ringtones themselves are set properly, as well as the volume settings... Did you do a backup using kies3? Do you have any files in "LOST.DIR" on your phone or SD card? I had a card go bad a while back and suddenly had hundreds/thousands of files in that directory... Good luck...

I have... Handgun: .22LR, 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP Rifle: .17HMR, .22LR, .223Rem, 7.62x54R Shotgun: 12GA Planning to add: 10mm, 5.56, .308, .357Mag/.38SPL and possibly .357Sig, 5.7x28, .300WinMag During the shortage, I had a hard time finding 9mm, .45ACP, and of course, .22LR. Within a couple months, .45 became available again, but 9mm and .22LR was nearly nonexistent locally. I never had a problem finding .40S&W, which is what kept me occupied with handgun shooting for much of the shortage. I also saw .357Sig available locally much of the time. Ideally, I'd have plenty of ammo stockpiled, but the shortage started not that long after I got into shooting. For me, I like the idea of multiple options...not just for fun at a range, but in case of a shortage. It takes more effort to stockpile ammo for more calibers, but having options when you might not otherwise get to shoot is important to me. My girlfriend likes to shoot, so I want to nurture and grow that in her, and more options means I'll always have something for her to shoot. Until I buy reloading equipment, I'm stuck to buying whatever I can online or locally...

I voted for the Savage Mark II, though I do not own one of the Mark IIs just yet. I do however own a Savage 93R17 (TR), which is the big brother of the Mark II models, and I absolutely love that rifle. I have plans to purchase at least one more 93 series - either in .22WMR or another .17HMR - and at least one or two Mark II models. I see you also mention the Marlin XT-22 - I do own one of those, and I've had very good luck with it. It's been perfectly reliable for me - it was the first rifle (and second gun) I ever purchased back in 2011. It probably has 5000 rounds through it, and every person I have brought to the range as a guest has shot that rifle. It has been accurate with pretty much all ammo I've fed it - from crappy bulk ammo through higher end match ammo. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably have opted for a Savage Mark II heavy barrel as my first rifle, if I could. I love the XT-22, but I think that the Savages are simply better rifles. That said, I doubt you can or will go wrong with any of the models you asked about...

The 870 has been around forever, and has quite the reputation. It has a million accessories, at least a dozen variants, and you probably can't go wrong with any of them. That said, I went for the Benelli and am damn glad I did...I absolutely love my Supernova Tactical. It's quite possibly my favorite gun. There aren't as many options for the Benelli, but the stuff I care about is available... The feel of the Supernova is solid and smooth... The ability to chamber 3 1/2" shells is nice, but not a big deal. Your shoulder and wallet may not like the 3 1/2" shells too much...

Problem with most of the spring-powered bolt actions is that they require a decent amount of force to pull the bolt, might be too much for a young kid. I've had grown men who couldn't pull back the bolt fully on my (upgraded) VSR10 - at least the first times they've tried to shoot it... Gas powered airsoft guns may be easier since there is no resistance during bolt pull, but will be more expensive to purchase a decent quality one (at least new).

I just had this issue last week, took my girlfriend shooting for the first time since she was ~12. She'd shot .22s before, and I started her off with a Marlin .22LR bolt action rifle. She then moved to a .17HMR bolt action, a .223 bolt action, and even was brave enough to shoot a single shot from the Mosin Nagant. We went to the pistol range, and again she started with a .22LR Sig Mosquito, then a P226 9mm, a Glock 23 .40, and even the Sig 1911. She loves the .17HMR and 1911 most of all, so you never know what someone will prefer...She wasn't a big fan of the .223 or Mosin, but she's open to trying them again as she becomes more proficient. She hated the Glock 23. I think some of that has to do with her being right handed, left eye dominant...

Thanks for the heads up. Last time I went with my 300-800mm, I had about 40 people come up to me throughout the day asking about the camera/lens. Base security let me through with my tripod...and had a few interested questions on the lens as well. Make sure you bring lots of liquids, sunscreen, and some kind of chair...

Ramsey Outdoor Succasunna has .22LR CCI Stingers 50rd boxes at $9.99 ea. Looked to be a decent amount in stock...I think at least 30 boxes. Not a spectacular price, but I don't remember seeing CCI Stingers in stock in a very long time... They also had 3 or 4 100rd boxes of CCI standard ammo, forget what exactly...

I love my Henry H001 in .22LR, and I'm planning on adding ....some lever in .357/.38, and possibly something in either .17HMR or .22mag. My Henry is a lot of fun when I visit the rimfire range, but if your mother is bored of other .22 rifles, something with a bit more oomph might be a better bet. I just brought my girlfriend to the range for her first time, and she liked the .22LR guns, but really loved my .17HMR most of all...

I think if I were to somehow win a pistol like this, it would be nearly seconds before I listed it for sale so I could get it out of my sight (and get some money for stuff I'd actually want). It looks hideous to me. I like the classic Sig pistols - the most gaudy models I'd consider would be some of the Extreme or Elite models... This thing may be the finest work of art in gunsmithing that Sig can put out, but I wouldn't want it. I never was all that big on super detailed engraving, be it some expensive over/under or on a pistol or really on any firearm...but this over-the-top pistol is downright ugly. Not sure what Sig is thinking with some of their regular models - that 1911 Spartan (I think), their rainbow treated models, the diamond plate models...Seriously Sig? I wish that they would concentrate on making quality products in fewer varieties...

Well, they have to protect that so it doesn't get damaged in shipping...you wouldn't want any popped bubbles, would you?

Basic games don't require much in the way of gear. The gun, magazines, a way of holding the mags, water, goggles, and some other basic safety gear are enough to get a person through most basic games... I've gotten to prefer smaller games over larger games because they tend to be less hassles... That said, I do have plenty of gear...accumulated over my years of playing. I've also played at national level games, and those have the guys who spend $4000 on their 1989 era Navy Seals-specific loadout...seems kinda pointless to me... ET (Netcong/Stanhope / Wild West City) has had a number of different game producers run games there...Cookie now runs the field and changed the name to C&C... Jimbo/302 - pretty sure you mean TJ - unless there's something I don't know about Cookie, I'm fairly confident he's never had a kid... As for gun types...I've had a bunch of different airsoft guns; M4, AK, G3, G36, MP5, M14, AUG, P90, shotguns, bolt action rifles, and handguns. My suggestion is to stick to one of three variants to start with - an M4, AK, or MP5 variant to start with. There are some decent enough starter guns under $200, though there is a good market for used guns...and you can often get a better used gun for as much as a new clone might cost... Stick to an M4, AK, or MP5 because the majority of accessories are available for these guns, and parts and magazines are cheaper than for other models. I'd stick to battery powered AEGs to start with...I've seen too many people starting with spring guns, and they are outclassed and outgunned and quickly become frustrated...
