Choice of paint for lettering/etc
RangerM9 replied to zenmetsu's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
there is a good thread on options for filling in engravings over on the XD forums. Seems one preferred options is to use nail polish, and then wipe away excess with something like newspaper with acetone on it, paper towel is too porus and gets down in the engravings, taking out whatever color you use. note....i've not tired this in person....so don't take my word for it. -
Bullpup S12?
RangerM9 replied to MCASgt New River's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
i'm a fan of the bullpup look....but i've never gotten to shoot one to know how they handle. Don't think a drum would work well with this set up...... -
Awsome KVAR Sale
RangerM9 replied to Death_Delirium's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
K-VAR may be assholes and their prices may suck (i've looked many times and not ordered because the mag prices are nuts) but as a customer and member of this site, i would like to be able to hear about a sale, and then make my own decision as to whether or not it is a deal or i would be better off going through one of our sponsors. Spend a lot of time researching purchases before i buy, anything that helps me do that research faster i appreciate (including sale notices, coupon codes, and of course feedback from others) -
Fish oil or snake oil?

Well....to be prescription only it has to go through research, testing and be considered a drug by the FDA, anything else is a supplement and does not require FDA testing or a prescription. Buyers have to be smart enough to see when they are getting screwed. As in any business, there are shitheads waiting to take advantage.... I know people dumb enough to go get prescription strength ibuprofen.....for god sake, do the math, prescription is 600 mg, over the counter is 200 per tab....take 3 over the counter pills and go to bed.....save your damn money. -
Awsome KVAR Sale
RangerM9 replied to Death_Delirium's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
doesn't much matter, the site crashes every time i go there.....tried 4 times now.....sorry sponsors.....i like a good deal, and no i'm not "friends" with an of the sponsors or any of the other vendors that we talk about. I'm a customer looking for the best deals. For the record i think not posting a good deal is kinda stupid....this site is about getting the most out of your saiga shotguns and rifles...... yes i get that we should be promoting our sponsors to direct business their directions, but to be honest we are a free market society and if our sponsors are not having the best dea -
Fish oil or snake oil?

Some great points and comments form you all. My business is the conduct of clinical trials on these new drugs and devices, so i have some thoughts to contribute. Pharma spends about $750 million to bring a single new drug to market, that includes the original chemistry to develop a new compound, then test it in cell cultures, then animals, and then humans (i've seen the human clinical trials cost anywhere from $2500 to $25,000 per patient depending on the condition and testing required - no the doctors are not getting rich on these studies, usually it is break even or just a littel better -
yah....i'm in the "get a safe" camp a decent compromise safe is the Sentry 14 gun fireproof safe.....and yes you can get more than 14 guns in there.....gotta think outside the box a bit to arrange them though. Heavy sonofabitch....good fire rating......you need to be determined and have the tools if you are going to bust into that one.

I know nothing about whether or not this guy did what he is accused of. But if he really did what he is accused of.....sorry....i have no sympathy....putting the guns in the hands of those who should not have them is what puts us all in a bad light when they go nuts and shoot up a school or gym. I hope he is innocent, but if he is not, best send your buddy some lube....he is gonna need it!

Thw downward spiral poll
RangerM9 replied to Vultite's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I think we will improve when we get some leaders who think and use facts and data as opposed to ideology and political promises to get things done......so when we have a viable 3rd party that represents the middle, away from either extreme.....bwahahahaha.....who the fuck am i kidding that will never happen in this country.....we're fucked.....just bouncing from right to left and back again until then..... doesn't matter who is in charge......its nothing but extremes lately. -
I survived DisneyWorld

Hey WJ. the family and I were on the Mouse grounds for 4 days around the 4th of July and on the 4th itself. That was a freaking zoo! I hear ya on the hot and muggy part. I don't think we have a single photo from the parks that we are not soaked from sweat, rain or the ice water i kep pouring over myself to keep cool. My 2 year old still loved it, and my wife was in heaven, she grew up down there, so Disney is a very special place for her. it is the happiest place on earth until the bills start coming in.....lol.....but i must say the look on my 2 year old's face at many times was... -
I think the states will be hard pressed to beat this one. In general, a state can write laws more restrictive than the fed, but seldom can they reduce the restrictions of a federal regulation. Consider that if you passed a national law that said no abortions of any kind, do you think the states should have the power to ignore that federal law and do what they want? careful what you wish for.....

i fully agree that ID'ing your target is very important and responsible...and having a gun that looks no worse than standard police issue could help you out, depending on where you live. it sounds like you are concerned about over penetration, but IMO you may want to check into the ballistic effects of birdshot on non-avian attackers. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=381023 shows 7.5shot from 10ft, not 10yds shot from a 24" barrel. the penetration in the gel is only about 3-5 inches..being that ballistic gel doesn't simulate a breast bone (just flesh), i would expect birdshot fr

My preference is the 870 12 ga with smooth bore slug barrel and mag extension, loaded with bird shot (in my house, i don't need to shoot more than 10 yards anywhere) Gun looks just like a police shotgun, and would be very hard to argue that i used excessive force since it is essentially the same as the police use. I would like to get a light on it, and i think having a light may be good in a legal discussion, knowing that you are a responsible gun owner, willing to take the time to ID your target rather than blowing your teenage kid away as they are trying to sneak outside/inside for a smoke

here is the thread i had going on them about a year or so ago. Pardner discussion I got one, it really is built well. I like them better than the new 870 express models, not as nice as my wingmaster through. To be sure you can get a great deal on a hell of a good home defense gun. I got mine for about $130 OTD. 5+1 tube, you can get an extension, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, good recoil pad. I love it, so cheap i don't worry about it, but do trust it should it ever be needed. Same parent company now owns Remington, Marlin, NEF/H&R and the Chinese
