  1. I've always considered bump stocks and the FRT triggers gimmicks and not worth the money. Since the ATF hates them so badly, I may have to reconsider my position.
  2. There's a full drum set hidden in that picture somewhere. That might have been a video of them performing the song but that is not the sound played over the video.
  3. It's the Birthday parties. Most nights when I turn on the Atlanta News, they are talking about somebody getting killed at a birthday party.
  4. Congratulations on your upgrade. You can watch ebay and often get some pretty good deals on tool heads and conversion kits.
  5. #1 Bama and #4 Tenn both go down to unranked teams. There's going to be some serious re-ranking going on Monday morning.
  6. No need to ask for registration and proof of insurance anymore. All that information is available through the computer system. Just run the tag.
  7. I shoot Gunfighter and my left hand is a little near sighted.
  8. It would have been better to use Bug out bag. That would have suggested a survival situation which is what that gun could be used for.
  9. $82 is a lot of money to a street cop.
  10. The Romans already had this problem figured out. Gladiator games. There is a large stadium in every major city in the country. The prisons are full of criminals who like to fight. Deterrence, tax savings, entertainment, justice. It's probably a good thing they don't make me king.
  11. Life will be less complicated if your rifle and pistols use the same caliber. Wild Bunch recently changed the rifle requirement to allow any SASS legal rifle to be used. That promoted a number of used 45 Colt lever actions rifles for sale at reasonable prices. I'd recommend getting a Uberti 73 in the caliber of your pistols. Whatever your rifle likes, feed it to the pistols.
  12. See Honey. There I was, minding my own business....
  13. I suppose a lot would depend on how many different calibers you plan on reloading. The 550 caliber conversions are cheaper than the 650/750 conversions. Any of the Dillon presses would be a step up above what you already have. The 550 has 4 stations in the tool head and the 650/750 has 5 stations. If you are going to load one or two calibers in high volume, I would go with the 650/750 and a case feeder. The nice thing about a Dillon press is you can buy it today, use it 10 years, take decent care of it, and sell it for more than you paid for it.
  14. I used that fancy gadget of yours to put in a brand new extractor from Cowboy and Indians Store and all my problems went away. Well, with the rifle anyway.
  15. I shot a Marlin lever action in 45-70 and it was uncomfortable. I can't see how shooting a factory 45-70 round in a revolver would be anything but painful.
  16. You'll know its time to replace the extractor because it will fail to extract a spent case and leave 6 rounds in your rifle at the most inopportune time. Usually a State match or above.
  17. It's been close to 20 years since I bought my rifle at Walmart. As I recall, there had to be a store manager and a sporting goods manager approve the gun sale after filling out all sorts of paperwork, including the 4473. Then you got walked to the parking lot by the manager and handed the gun in the box and told not to bring it back into the store. No waiting period but since they ordered the rifle for me, I had to wait about a week or more for it to come in. It was a Winchester 94 Trails end in .357 for $366.00. I still have that rifle. It's fun to shoot and carry but it's no good for CAS.
  18. You should see the ceremony they go through when you buy a gun at Walmart.
  19. The police's first reaction is to lock up the person who pulled the trigger until the investigation is completed. I would seriously consider collecting up my pistol and leaving after making sure someone called for an ambulance. Go visit a friend in another state and contact an attorney to handle any police inquires. It would take a good deal of judicial review before issuing a warrant and extradition paperwork to get arrested. The attorney can also negotiate bond and a specific time to turn myself in if necessary. I think I'll just sit somewhere besides jail while they do the investigation.
  20. We had to do some research on the location we were planning on doing the road check. We had to stipulate on the form what we were looking for and why. Example: 3 DUI related traffic accidents on that road in the past month. The biggest problem was getting enough manpower to work the road check. If any officer pulled a car out of the line to write a ticket, he would be busy for at least 15 minutes. It's very easy to get all your officers busy writing tickets or transporting criminals to jail. If some guy rolled up and and just cracked his window, was chewing gum and started all that 'I'm not answering any questions" business, he is either drunk or a sovereign citizen. Both of which need further scrutiny. I understand the police are kinder and gentler these days. It's probably a good thing I retired when I did.
  21. I do some segmented woodturning on the lathe. You cut different colored pieces of wood, glue them into a ring and stack the rings up, making a pattern. Mount the whole mass of glued up segments on the lathe and spin it up to 1000 rpm and shape it with razor sharp chisels. Good way to pass a pandemic.
  22. Mine is called "FBI Surveillance Van". My neighbor is paranoid anyway and I just like to shake his tree.
  23. I use 3.0 gr of Titegroup behind a 125 gr TC bullet. Works great for pistols and rifle. No problems with knockdown targets or the Texas Star.
  24. Cass, I'm going to miss you on the range. You've been a good friend for many years and we have solved many world problems sitting under pavilions and awnings all over the Southeast. I've enjoyed your friendship and I wish you and Lisa many more years of happiness. Badlands Bob
