HOW OLD WERE YOU THE FIRST TIME?
BpS12 replied to Long Shot's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I was in the service and we were doing familiarization with the 12ga. It was alright. Didn't get into them seriously until my S12 about 7yrs ago. -
Here is a neat little feature the they don't even mention. There is a tiny slot in the back of the barrel/chamber so you can see if a round is chambered. I like the Taurus and Ruger versions better since they offer a tactile component. But I didn't even expect this so I'll take it. The first pic is empty, the second is of a chambered round.

And my "Dynamic Duo" locked and loaded with 14/45 mags. Further review to come.

Well, I did it. $1,100 later I got my Para. Unfortunately I wont get any range time till Wednesday. I'll post more pics as I get them, but here's one "new in the case".

RPK Question
BpS12 replied to tsushooter1's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Before I bullpupped my AES10B, I was doing quarter to silver dollar sized groups at 100yrd with iron sights depending on ammo, from the table. Everything was straight and tight on her but I couldn't find a decent scope rail. No longer an issue with a full length top rail. -
To be unarmed is to be a target for every POS out there, gov included. I'd resist(as CT and others), I'd hide, I'd sell what's not needed, but if they chose to just take it? I've long believed that if I am made to do the time, the crime will be WELL worth it. And I wont go to jail for someone else's stupidity.

Ok, here's my highlights of the shoot. I averaged 2rnds per target on the shotgun stage but bypassed on off in the woods completely so lost points. I ran the pistol stage immediately after the shotgun and did terrible. Still shaky from the shooty run and didn't have my secondary prepped, etc. The rifle stage was interesting. You had to adjust for drift, bob and an upwards elevation of maybe 30°. I dropped 2 out of 5 targets with 15rnds. Which I think was about average. Several hit 4 of the 5 and several hit none at all. Iirc, no one dropped all 5. We had almost 30 shooters runni

Now that's just pretty. Nice job.

... heroic as it was sad
BpS12 replied to Rhodes1968's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I lived in AZ amongst Mormans(even some of them admit they're the ones the church didn't want, lol) and most are good people. However I have met alot of people like Bundy that have NO use for government on any level if it doesn't bend to their purposes. Corruption is rampant within small town politics to the point of "business as usual". That said, I've worked for both the USFS and BLM back in the 80s. Iirc, for every 40 acres you owned, you could get a 99yr lease on 1K acres for little of nothing. The USFS/BLM maintained roads, etc with money from the leases, parks, grants. As the cost o -
Question.... You choose not to immunize yourself and family. Your family gets sick with whatever but makes it through with little more stress than a severe bout of flu. However you(and yours) are now carriers of this strain of whatever. A couple months later, your kids go to a classmates birthday party where the classmates new little brother(unimmunized, too young) inadvertently picks up your strain of illness and (worse case) dies. Who is responsible? Should you inform others of your condition? Or is it the parents fault for not being more careful? How would you feel if the situat

Bullpup it. With those tangs cut off you save an inch or so. My 45" S12 is now a 31" BS12 with a full 18+" barrel. Just saying, it's an option.

I have a Condor Solo Sling pack for "Get Home" in my truck that will fit an 18" barreled H&R Single shot 12ga(broke in two) in the main compartment with my 3day kit in the rest and still have room for a couple water bottles. Eventually would like to carry an AK pistol. I'll try to avoid leaving anything high dollar in my truck, even locked.

K.o.t.H, it is an easy strip. No other disassembly required. Someone asked for video. Here's todays. I was shooting low brass steel shot mixed with a few high brass slugs. Can you tell the difference, lol? Firing Bullpupped S12.wmv

The XDs are nice. Everyone I talk to love them. Good trade imo. I qual'd expert with every 45cal 1911 they issued me in the service but went 9mm off post. Meh, traded it and some cash for a car to go home and get married. Shoulda kept the gun, lol. Been running a S&W 357 L-frame until about 5yrs ago when I picked up my Taurus PT145 MilPro. Love the double 10rnd mags. But recently fell for a Para 1911 Blk Ops with the 14/45 mags(that fit my Taurus). 9s are alright, but its hard not to love the first handgun caliber you were issued, lol.

I just started a new part time job at a local chain store(the Rural Walmart so to speak) selling firearms. Well I haven't been particularly impressed by anything we have in stock. All very nice and pretty but not enough to "pull the trigger", lol. Then I found this in 14/45... http://para-usa.com/2013/firearms/tactical/blackOps1911.php I knew Para Ordinance sounded familiar. Turns out their 14rnd mags fit in my Taurus PT145 MilPro. So now I'm thinking this would be a great compliment to my Taurus(my CCW) as a primary sidearm for SHtF and our Scenario 3gun competitions. If by chance the Pa

Drones at Machine Gun Shoot
BpS12 replied to ChileRelleno's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I got enough FA in the Army. Now that I have to pay for it myself, I've little use for it. But given the rise in domestic drone usage, it may not be a bad option to have available. -
The latest in school stupidity!
BpS12 replied to Capt Nemo's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Zero tolerance isn't just a school thing. Big Corps have it too. Which I think is why it is getting through into the schools. Parents are forced to deal with it at work and thus let it slide in the schools. ZT is easier to administrate than case by case and big money CEOs/Admins are lazy and don't want to have to deal with it. By my Jr. year I had become the Peacekeeper in my school. NO FIGHTING ON MY(schools) GROUND. Take off campus and I'll come watch, but not on campus. The teachers and admin even let me jostle a few kids around and called me when a fight broke out in the hallways. But -
Buying a used car legalities?
BpS12 replied to BpS12's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Thanks all. They're already fixing it. $3000 instead of the $3500 with a couple weeks down time. Downsides, she now owes $8000 on a $4-5000 04 Dodge Durango that seems to be known for blown rod issues. Hopefully it won't happen again but it seems that that is still a possibility according to some reveiws. Thinking she might wanna "trade down" rather than run the risk of another $3k repair bill. I would have prefered if the dealer had gone halves with her on it but it's her lesson to be learned. I'll help her as I can, but I raised her to make her own choices and deal/live with the resul
