wooly bugger

Do you know what the commercial equivalent is? Is it basically the same ammo in different packaging? In general, I've had good experiences with Aguila. I think I'll put in an order for 5000.

I'm thinking it might be good to get on the list for some of the CMP Aguila ammo here: http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/ammo.htm#Remington22 Has anyone used it? Is it any good? If anyone has a box they'd sell or trade for some match ammo, let me know as I'd like to try it out.

Deleted: My bad. The line was at the beginning of their off-mike comments. Nothing redacted.

Here's another one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wduj3U_C2hE

I was looking for the infamous Youtube video, and strangely, the videos I've found cut out before "confiscate, confiscate, confiscate." Does anyone know what happened? Any links to the original? Here's an example: I don't want to be paranoid, but this is more than strange.

I just use the post office. Very inexpensive.

I understand that centerfire barrels tend to lose accuracy after around 1500 shots. So what do people do after that? Can most rifles be rebarreled? About how much does it cost? I'm just getting into centerfires, so curious. All of mine are milsurp, so probably not reasonable to get them rebarrelled, but as I get into commercial ones, I'd like to know my options.

Anyone have experience with Esee knives? I'm thinking the Izula may be my next purchase.

Update on my Chris Reeve Sebenza. I initially complained that the opening was rough. I applied a little bit of the Chris Reeve fluorinated grease, opened and closed it a few hundred times, and it's getting into a nice groove. Still not sure it was worth $350, but nice knife. Incidentally, after a 5 year wait, I just got my Randall Model 5. Beautiful knife. Atrociously dull, but I can fix that. I placed an order for a Model 1, which I'll get in another 5 years.

NJ.com is predictably using the Navy Yards shooting to promote their political agenda. They're irrationally asking if the incident should spur new Congressional action on background checks. They guy presumably passed his NICS, so not clear how expanding background checks would have helped. But never mind logic. Here's the poll. Irradiate it. http://www.nj.com/hudson/voices/index.ssf/2013/09/poll_should_the_navy_yard_shoo.html

I have the special. It's a fine rifle, in like-new condition. It's not a tack-driver, though. If I'd known that, I would have gone with the service grade, which might not shoot any worse but would have nice history and character.

Exactly right. That's why all my knives are tools, which I use mainly for opening boxes and packaging and for cutting food. IMO, this is one good reason to stay away from knives with names like, "The Stryker Eviscerator." Much harder to explain to a jury the lawful intent of the Eviscerator compared with the "110." Even a real knife name like the CQC might raise eyebrows when a prosecutor asks why you're carrying a knife specifically designed for "close quarters combat," when you're supposedly just skinning apples.

I just started EDC'ing a small Chris Reeve Sebenza. I like the look and workmanship, but I have to admit, the opening is nowhere near as smooth as my prior EDC, a Benchmade Griptilian, which costs less than 1/4 the sebenza.

Agree with Ruger 10/22 if you want a semi-auto. Modifying it can become a hobby in itself. I put a bull barrel, a target trigger, an after market magazine release, a new stock, and a scope on mine. It was a lot of fun learning how everything works together. I just wish I could have bought the receiver alone, because that's all that's left of the original rifle! If you go this route, a used, beater 10/22 is a good deal. If you want better build quality and a bolt action, I recommend a CZ452. I've never shot the Savage MK2, but I have heard great things about it. General opinion seems to be that the CZ has an edge in build quality but costs almost double. If you decide to get serious about target rifle shooting, I can't offer any advice other than to start saving your $$ for a target rifle, which is a whole different creature. What do you want the centerfire for? If just for target shooting and tinkering, I highly recommend milsurp. You can start with a Mosin Nagant for under $150 and own a rugged piece of history. If hunting, it depends on your budget. My dream rifle is a Sako for its high quality, but I'm sure a mass-produced Remington 700 will get the job done for a lot less money.

Happy b-day. In 10 years you'll look back with wonder at how young you were and how the whole world was ahead of you. Your life is just starting. But if you must, let me have the black rifles before you trade them in for a Winchester 94.

F them. I don't have a Marlin 60, I'd just use it. In the unlikely chance I got arrested, I'd become a national poster boy.

Do you need a clip for such a small knife? If not, check out the manbug. I carry one on my keychain as a back up to my EDC (which just last week became my dream Chris Reeve Sebenza, but I digress.) It fits well in the pocket, is big enough to easily open one-handed, and as expected is extremely rugged and sharp. Edit: Just reread your post and saw man bug. Still, hope my mini-review will be helpful for someone else.

Is it just me, or does that guy look like Joe Cryan.

No, but not using it either. I don't know if I'm allowed to post a WTS here, but if anyone interested, PM me.

He was pretty good in Argo. Otherwise, I agree with the 2 minute cameo assessment.

I'm seeing greater availability on Midway, so I think we're seeing a gradual ease up.

Here's a good quote, demonstrating lib innumeracy: " "Worse yet, the tax rate on ammunition and other types of firearms has remained the same since 1941." Ummm, the cost of those things has increase since then, due to inflation. Thus, the tax has also risen, indexed for inflation. Is the idea to increase the tax *rate* every year until it reaches 1000s of percent? Maybe.

He's working that sunglass mom pretty hard. They look like a good match.
