Three seat belts in the back seat.

I was gonna try out the Herters 122gr HP ammo first since I have to go up into St. Louis to get a decent price on any soft point or hollow point ammo for it, they have it on sale on the website for $4.49 a box of 20, free shipping to store. I haven't had a bit of trouble with the Tulammo steel cased so figured it'd be something to try out. I practice with the Tulammo from Walmart, my daughter works there so I give her a $20 every so often and have her grab me 4 boxes, lol.

I used to take "survival hikes" when I was a kid. My parents basically just let me run wherever and whenever I wanted, we lived on a farm and used to go up to this place owned by a friend of the family, basically around 5 miles by 10 miles of woods with a few fields scattered in around the edges. Had an ice cold spring about the middle, good sized creek running through it, lots of wildlife. I'd pack up a backpack, take a .22, bow and arrow, fishing gear, couple changes of clothes, some basic supplies and a tarp and head out, it was about 7 miles or so from the house to the edge of this place,

Pretty sweet. I need to get some of the Shoot-n-see targets and get mine dialed the rest of the way in with the ammo I'll be using for hunting. I've got it pretty close at 100 yards with the Tulammo FMJ ammo so it shouldn't take much...been too damned hot here to shoot but they're saying it might drop into the low 90's next weekend which would be great.

get a tap handle, if you go trying to tap the trunnion using pliers, crescent wrench or anything else you'll end up with a shattered tap. You need to be able to put equal pressure on it with a T-handle or it won't turn like it needs to, it'll tilt a little bit and then you'll be back on here asking "How do I get a busted tap out of my trunnion" and you won't like the answer...

Back then, the people WERE the military. When they were called, EVERY able-bodied male took up their arms (no issued weapons for them, they wanted stuff they had MODDED to work!) and answered the call. I agree with some posters, it's a solid point that the political atmosphere won't support any gun control measures at the moment. The Dem's have noted it, which is why they have been feeding more and more pro-gun candidates into the fold, just check out who the NRA gives money to, largely GOP people but more and more Dems are getting money from them too on the basis of their firearm stance.

We've got a thread running somewhere on the 2011's, I think it's at like ten to one that the muzzle isn't threaded even though they have all the other military characteristics. If it's another year then I'd bet it'd be more likely he gets lucky and has them.

Mine has all the military stuff on it, but no threads. What year production?

Watched the video, man did he have them scrambling to get the hell out of there or what???? roflmao

Probiotic yogurt, acidophilus milk, both of these will get the good bacteria built back up in your digestive system pretty quick. Glad to hear that it's turning out ok for you, not like that girl who had her hands and stuff amputated from that crap!

Sure, you could apply for a patent, but as some have said it would probably make enough money to break even, and then once the mall ninja market is complete, no one else would buy one. I went in and talked to a patent attorney here on the tools that I make, he said sure we could patent it, then someone will change the design 10% and then you can't do diddly to them, besides, if it does start making buttloads of money, the Chinese will outright steal it and flood the market with cheap copies for half the price. The thing to do is hit it fast, make your money then once imitators start cutting in

I have yet to see either of them gents at any of the Enterprise rental stores that I used over the years...most people who work outside for most of their lives find it difficult to keep a job like that for any length of time. I actually LIKED factory work for the most part as I always worked in either the fabrication department or assembly, other than my Fed job which was as QC inspector for the final assembly and shipping area, but that was cool too as I could wander around the hangar and no one ever asked me what I was doing, just carry a clipboard...

Well, hell, just put a mini-gun mount in the hole then...

Shit, I know I'd be more likely to rent something, or buy something from an old boy behind the counter with a Navy/Army/Marine/Air Force tat on his forearm than some pimply faced idiot with a spray on tan.

I've done a shit-ton of fiberglass work over my long and varied life, and pretty much any of the above mentioned methods will work fine for what you want. Use a nice thick backer made from marine grade plywood though, I wouldn't recommend wood itself as it'll swell with moisture and even a little bit can lead to cracks, the glue in the marine grade will seal it, and plywood will expand and contract pretty much the same rate as the fiberglass which is why it's used so much in industry. When you get to the mat/cloth stages, I've always been partial to making a base with the cloth and then sw

If they paid for the shipping then you're way ahead there, most of the manufacturers make you pay which can run around $30+ dollars when you do it right. I know S&W pays but not sure of anyone else.

The stories you hear about Hi Points are pretty much gun snobs that get all bunched up over the fact that a gun that costs under $200 works (most times) more reliably than their (insert firearm manufacturer here). If you do a search on youtube for "Hi Point kaboom" the only one you get is one that's mounted in a huge C clamp with the clamp blocking the muzzle, and keeping the slide from cycling, of COURSE it's going to blow in two, so would any other pistol, that's not rocket science. My favorite is the one where two gents take one and put it through the ultimate torture test, everything they

In a box with the stock handguard, the trigger parts and the flash hider that I haven't installed yet, too chicken to cut the shroud off yet...

They show the 12 in stock for $600 it looks like to me. I think I got one of the last 16" x39 ones they had, I ordered mine, the day I picked it up from my FFL I checked their website and the price had jumped from $319 to $349, the next day they were out of stock and have been ever since. I see a few that have the handguard changed or fully converted, that's about it.

You bought a Rhino and are complaining about the looks of a Hi Point....

Waterproof container of toilet paper.

I gave up on putting out resume's about two years after my layoff, I'm in my early 50s now, hard of hearing, a couple of bulging discs in my lower back that knock me out of doing most of what I did all my life, everything seems to hinge on being able to stoop, lift, bend, etc. Even applied at Walmart as a greeter, never even got an interview for that. The wife and I could live decently on her and my disability if we could get rid of a few thousand dollars of medical bills that need paid! I'd go back to work if something came up that I could do, or my last job would hire me back at what I w

It may be a losing strategy in today's business models, but it may also be a safe one. I've watched startup after startup go down in flames because they tried to do things the same way everyone was six years ago, and it can't be done. Banks won't lend money unless you don't even need it, if you want to borrow $250k, you'll need $250k to prove that you can have it. You have to think outside the box of what "normal" business practices used to be, and find a niche market that will sustain minimum but reliable growth before you try to expand your markets. I think the biggest problem is compani

Yep as soon as the hammer and the bottom of the bolt get broken in it gets a lot smoother, polishing those surfaces helps a lot.

I hear you on the focus on providing a quality product. A few months ago I signed on as a sponsor on one of the Mosin forums, and orders spiked nearly triple what I can produce. I have already done all that I can do to maximize my personal production while keeping quality control measures in place, so that meant working more hours. For two months, the wife was pretty much a widow, I worked from about 7AM till 9PM, by the time I was done updating my paperwork it was after midnight and she had been in bed for hours. Then I got the bright idea of shifting sales to the dealer in Florida who
