Lambo2936

Hahaha it's just a username that i've been using from back when my father had a Lambo kit car (was actually a VW or something, i believe, but it sure as hell looked cool). I'll check it out; thanks!

I can assure you there will be a fire and all of her emails will be lost, long before those 75 years come around... I'm sure we all know its all Politics and BS. They are burying it so that she has a chance to get into office. What a damn shame.

I saw the liberty sale. I am also fully aware that they are not super safes, ANYTHING can be broken into. Im not building ft nox i just want something thatll put up a fight, not something where the door will open when you yank on it and its supposed to be locked. I am limited by weight, so anything insane is going to be too heavy, anyways. As for fire proofing, i realize that its fairly pointless unless i get the higher end stuff (2hr fire rating, etc.); i dont care for the fire proofing but its standard on most low end safes or whatever you would rather call them. So, ill reword it. Id like a metal box that is slightly harder to get into and is somewhat affordable. Keypad a must for quick access, but must have a keyed backup. As for the keypad melting, you can get in with a grinder or the backup key. Either works.

I agree. My safe is placed on one of the (really large) metal beams, and its a new home so its relatively strong. A 95 gallon tank is much heavier though, even per sqft. I had a 75 in here briefly and i was too scared even with bracing and its been in my mothers garage since.

Not too worried about delivery, i drive an F150 and can bribe a few buddies with beer again to help get this safe in....... again. Yes, i know no NJ sales tax on Safes; that is certainly a plus. I'll be keeping an eye out online. I'm not sure costco and such stock them on hand, and most places that keep them on hand are stack on/rebranded stack on safes (ie field and stream, etc). While they have great customer service- and ill be totally honest about that- i'm not sure i want to go through this crap 4 months into owning a safe again. Not sure if to give them another shot or get something else.. I can have them deliver the same safe to my home as an exchange/replacement, but im really not sure i want to do that; i think this is a sign that i ought to maybe spend a bit more and get something more secure.

So, the other day i realized something was wrong with my safe and that i could essentially pull the door right open when the safe is 'locked'. It's a Stack on Buck Commander 24 gun safe. Anyhow, fast forward a few days and today the locksmith came. He basically looked at it for a few minutes and said it was defective, and contacted them and told them to refund/replace the safe as it is irreparable. The issue was that the bolts didn't stick out far enough, so it is either a huge design flaw or defect with the welds. Now, i'm not bashing stack on as their customer service was superb, to be honest; emails were responded to within MINUTES, and not even a week later they have scheduled someone to pick up this safe and i am getting a check in the mail (rather than a replacement; NO THANKS) for the cost of this safe (600$). Anyhow, on to the real topic... Now that i will have no safe soon enough, i'm looking for a replacement. I loved this safe with the door organizer and all, but a safe full of firearms with my daughter in the house that doesn't stay closed is a no-go, even though she can't pull it open herself. Does anyone have any suggestions on a somewhat affordable, GOOD, SECURE safe? Has to be at least the same size if not bigger. This one is the 24 gun model with the door organizer (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Buck-Commander-24-Gun-Fire-Resistant-Electronic-Lock-Safe-Matte-Black-BC-24-MB-E-S/206049197?keyword=buck+commander+24+gun) Sure enough, it's now discontinued; i wonder why.... I'm willing to put more than the 600$ i am getting back into a new safe; lets say up to $1,000 or so. This one is about 23.5"x20x55. I was thinking of getting something larger but there isn't much more space to fit one, i can only squeeze a couple of inches more in the space i have. I also live in a Mobile Home, so weight has to be fairly minimal.. I had this thing full of ammo and ammo cans full (easily 150lbs or so) on top, nevermind what was in the safe and the safe weight itself, so i'm not worried too much, but i do have to get it in the house in one piece and would rather not find out the hard way how much weight my floor will hold. Has to be fireproof with at least the same rating as my current safe. Not worried about waterproof as my safe is 4' or so off the ground. Please chime in, i'd like to get one ordered by this weekend so i have somewhere to put my stuff. Sorry for starting so many threads, but now that i have a bunch of guns i'm trying to perfect all of the stuff that surrounds them (optics, safety eqpmt, etc), nor did i expect my safe to open when locked... SMH

I think ill experiment with high end plugs versus muffs, and if that fails i'll go with some sort of slimmer muff. Pizzabob, thanks for the link. I'm going to look into those and the decibullz when i get the chance and pick one of the two up to try. Those look like a nice crossover between a muff and an ear plug.

Not sure why heritage wouldn't tell you what they have, they are for the most part pretty good people. Call each individual store.. Some of the older guys arent the greatest, but some of them there are fantastic. Went to Easton for a bolt gun and walked out with a bolt gun and a bow for my fiance because they were great there. The bow tech knew she had no intention of buying anything and still completely set up the bow for her so she can shoot it while i was playing with guns, haha. Came back the next week and bought her a complete rig. Does she use it? Not really, but she and i both have bows now on top of firearms. Maybe i'll be the next Daryl Dixon.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-Tek4-Audio-Plus-Noise-Suppression-Headphones-RP4530/100671268 That's what i use. 38 decibel reduction. I might just try the decibullz and see how that will work. Not too worried about shooting my 22, its the big guns that worry me like my 3006 bolt or the 308 m1a i just picked up. I'll have to see if i can't find better muffs, but i may just try the plugs instead... they seem so much more convenient.

Yeah i think i might just have to pick up a different slimmer and lighter set. The problem ive had with the muffs i use is that the top on each side rests on the hat, which results in a bad seal, therefore rendering the ear pro useless. To be clear, i shoot outdoor only @ Range 14; indoor is of no issue to me. Ill have to play arounf with different muffs and stuff and see what works best. The ryobi ones i use (also for construction, duh, but they are all the same crap) are great, just heavy and bulky. My issue is i go with friends or the wifey so i have to be able to hear my surroundings, especially the RO, which is why i like the electronic ones; they are actually pretty damn effective. I keep em turned up and i can hear just as well with them on as off. Anyhow, any suggestions as to where one can find a variety of muffs, or maybe a place to try some on? I dont think any gun shops like heritage would have too many. Neither would dicks, heritage has more crap than them.

Doh, Nevermind. RX is another 115$. Around 200$ Sounds about right. May have to wait a bit before i can spring on a pair of something like that. I have to get my eyes checked and my glasses adjusted (hopefully this frame isn't crapping out, they keep falling off). If all is well, i'll probably pick up a pair.

Wait, that website sells prescription sunglasses and stuff for only 70$? Does that include the lenses and all? I have a pair of prescription oakleys that cost me like 300 bucks and they freakin suck. I have to fix them but even then, the prescription lenses on them are so susceptible to scratches its insane. Mine look like they were in an explosion. I intended on getting another pair of the prescription safety glasses or something they offer, but was waiting until i go for another checkup (because screw going annually, who has that kinda money!) to get both normal glasses and the safety/sun glasses at the same time to save on one of their promos. If i can get my hands on a pair of rx from them for that cheap, i may just go get my eyes checked locally at my buddies fathers office or something and just order some glasses online. That's crazy cheap. Also, they just dont fit right with the hat and all. I guess i just dont get a good seal on them with a hat on? I have a small head, so nothing works as it should. I'll try and make it work next time im at the range, maybe this friday. IIRC last time i tried it wasn't sealing right and i ended up throwing my hat in the truck.

Hey all. Been using a pair of Ryobi Ear muffs (They work with a rechargeable battery; lets me turn on/off/adjust the volume of speech, play music, etc. while wearing them) at the range, but am slightly annoyed that i can't wear my hat with them on, nevermind the general discomfort associated with wearing something heavier than my head. I've been trying to find something that works efficiently (i'd rather not lose my hearing) but that will also not be so bulky so that i can wear my hat. I dont wear eye pro as i have eyeglasses, so that isn't an issue. When i was shooting in the cold, i couldn't wear my arctic beanie, and now in the heat i can't wear a baseball cap. It's driving me nuts! I Was looking at the surefire EP line but there are multiple versions and i'm clueless. For under 15 bucks i thought it'd be worth trying, but don't know which to get. Any suggestions?

To be clear, i don't really care for the tritium; but, if i am spending 700$ on a sight, i'd want to know it DOES function as it should, especially when i go to resell it. It takes a huge chunk out of the value if the tritium is shot, and for around 700$ i can buy a sight in better condition, minus the RMR, that IS properly functioning. What do you think the older RMR is worth with the mount? Just wondering what i can snag for it if i buy it.

Yeah, thats what im thinking, *IF* i buy it.. Not sure he'll still have it Monday. If he didn't take forever to get me the serial number, i'd have bought it at full price and picked it up friday after calling trijicon and making sure it isn't antique, but, on the phone he said " it's like 5 or 6 years old. At least. Probably more" or something along those lines.... He said he has the original case which should have the date on it, i would think, or at least the serial number, so he should have been able to get it for me on the spot. We'll find out Monday, i guess.

No permits yet. When i get the chance in the next few weeks ill head to heritage in Easton and check out some stuff. I'll compile a list of what i want to hold and shoot before i go. The shield is on the list.

Im just really picky. Not necessary, but the gun doesnt look like it was cleaned all too often and i wanted to open it up to make sure its rust free and all; every time i shoot, even if its 50rds, i strip everything down to the firing pin on my ARs.

They have the 9mm compact 1911s. That said, i dont have an issue with the fitment of a 1911, i just wanted something lighter (poly?) And in 9mm that i can get good with and carry out of state. Love the 1911, but the 45 is a bit much. I think i can do better and control rapid firing better with a 9mm.

We should find the 3m members and beat em up with socks and steel dust. They wouldnt see THAT coming from the 5 million (NRA) crazy machine-gun-armed conservative neo-nazi rednecks! (Sarcasm)

I finally got the serial number from the guy and will contact trijicon monday to find out the manufacture date and such. I can get it for around 650-675ish but would have to drive about 45 mins each way to pick it up. Depending on the age, i may not bother. I dont care for the rmr and planned on pulling it off anyways and throwing it on some other project. Otherwise ill wait until i find a nice one for around 600$.

You guys should see the insane Assault Hammer i have. Bought it Private Purchase, so it isn't even registered under my name. Thing has all sorts of spikes and claws and crap on it; Totally pointless for actual construction work, so it's been sitting in my shed.. But, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, i'm running right by my large gun safe and grabbing that hammer!

I have a 10 month old, so that isnt really much of an issue though when visiting in the summer that can get annoying, haha. I have to keep an eye out over there and decide where i want to live as it has to be close to Plainfield IN. So either OH by the border or northern IN

Here is a picture of the reflex sight on the ACOG

Have the chance to buy a Trijicon TA01 with a reflex sight on it. Guy claims he is an ex-cop selling his personally owned trijicon that was on his work AR. The Sight looks like its in fairly good condition, and the price is right i would think. Only thing is, the reflex sight has a rounded top, NOT a bowed in top like the newer RMRs, meaning this sight is fairly old. Anyone know when they stopped making them that way? He says its at least 5-6 years old. I'm thinking twice that. Only reason i'm asking is because i'd be worried about the tritium being near end life. A few weeks ago, i was contemplating paying this much for just the sight, but if the thing is nearly dead i won't really bother as im not sure i have the dough right now. If you have any ideas, chime in ASAP because i dont want it to be sold out from under me, haha.

Best thing to do if it is mostly copper weight is break the thing apart. It usually isn't worth doing so unless it's something like say a solid piece of aluminum that has a few small pieces of steel on it. The yards generally won't care and will give you dirty pricing on the whole thing, even if only 1lb out of 50 is steel. So, if that inverter you have is mostly copper, spend the few minutes to hack it up and get the good stuff out. Otherwise, you probably won't get crap for it.
