I want to get one of those K-Bar chain saw knives like Topper Harley used in one of the "Hot Shots" movies !

One of the recent Deer & Deer Hunting mags had an article on "10 Hunting Rifle Myths" One of the myths was Damaged Bullet Points Hinder Accuracy . According to the article , it doesn't .

Congrats ..... nice job !

#11a on the form (partial ) Are you the actual transferee / buyer of the firearm (s) listed on the form ? You are NOT the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm (s) on behalf of another person . I would say it was an illegal purchase ........................

What the store was trying to do was not sell it all to one person when others want the ammo also .

I was at the Dicks Store in Webster today . Talked to my friend at the hunting lodge . He said that they were having a difficult time getting 223 ammo in and as soon as it arrives , it gets bought up . He told me that they had to limit how many boxes a person could buy so that a couple purchases wouldn't be a sell out and deprive others from buying any . He said one guy that wanted to buy a lot asked to see the manager and the manager told the guy you can buy the limit of 6 boxes or leave and buy it elsewhere . Some people are greedy and hoarding ammo .

Boo711 ---- I think it would depend on what papers you signed , if there were papers ..... If you signed anything that stated you were making the purchase for yourself but actually bought it for someone else to use , I would think it would be considered a "straw purchase" .

I meant to get back to this some time ago . I bought "The Rock" thermos at Target just before gun season and was skeptical about it . $25 was a great investment for this product . I have left it in the Subi all day after making the coffee at 4:30 am and have it still be hot at 5 pm . Best Thermos I have owned so far !

Happy Birthday !

I like the H335 . I use it for the 223 and 7-30 waters . I weigh the 1st 5 charges and if they are consistent , then I weigh every 5 charge . It measures out nice .

I prefer the Hodgdon powder as it is ball type and works well out of a powder measure . My son bought some R-19 and it doesn't measure well . Maybe it's just me ..........

Wow ! Some video . Yeah , these actors , etc make big bucks killing people on the big screen and then want something done about gun shootings . What DipWads !

Maybe they measure different in Brazil where the Rossi's are manufactured . I tried Powerbelts a few years ago . Never had one fall out but heard a lot of negatives about not getting pass throughs on deer so I went to the TC sabots with Hornaday SST 240 grain bullet .

2 of my sons own Browning 270's and love them . I reload for both of them . I have a 25-06 single shot that I like . The factory ammo is expensive and costs more than 1 1/2 times the price of the 270 .

I have a Ruger LCP with a Crimson laser on it . I don't like the trigger on it . Pull , pull , pull and it finally goes off . I prefer a trigger that has tension on it and when you pull , it fires . just my opinion ..........I havn't fired the LCP enough to get comfortable with it .

Some kids and their parents are real jerks ! One of my daughters is in charge of kids that are on School Detention . One of those little turds won't serve detention with her and serves it with a teacher instead . The reason -- my daughter doesn't let the kids use their cell phones in her room while they are serving detention . What's with the teacher ??? These kids can't live without a phone and are turning into Zombies .

Happy Birthday Burmjohn and Jimbo !

They brought Marlin manufacturing along with 100 jobs to NYS . That isn't much compared to the taxpayer investment .

The article was in today's Democrat & Chronicle . Thought it might be of interest to members .

State has helped fund rifle plant Ilion facility has guns for police, military Michael Virtanen Associated Press ALBANY — New York state has spent nearly $6 million over the past three years on subsidies for a two-century-old upstate factory that makes fire­arms including semiauto­matic rifles used by the military and police and like those used in the re­cent killings in Webster and Connecticut. Though several elect­ed leaders in this tough­on- guns state want tighter restrictions on those mili­tary- style weapons, none say it’s time to stop sup­porting Remington Arms Co. and risk the nearly 1,000 jobs it provides in the central New York community of Ilion. The gunmaker has plenty of defenders, particularly those who support the continued manufacture of weapons used by the mil­itary or police. In 2010, Empire State Development, the agency that works with private companies to attract and retain jobs, announced $2.5 million in grants and subsidies to help Reming­ton bring its Marlin lever­action gun production from Connecticut to Ilion and add 100 jobs. That fol­lowed two grants in 2009 worth $3 million for reno­vations and machinery. “It was never the de­sire of the state of New York to subsidize the de­velopment of the sort of tactical weapons that end­ed up being used in Con­necticut and now, I under­stand, in upstate New York as well,” said Assem­blyman Charles Lavine, a Long Island Democrat. “By tactical weapons, I’m talking about a rifle such as the Bushmaster.” In 2011, Bushmaster Firearms moved manu­facturing operations from Maine to Ilion, where Remington now makes Bushmaster guns. No state money was used in that transfer, which brought more than 40 jobs. Police said Bushmas­ter military-style rifles were used to kill 20 school children and seven adults in Newtown, Conn., and to kill two volunteer fire­fighters and seriously wound two others Mon­day when they responded to a blaze in Webster. Police have not said where the guns used in the shootings were manufac­tured. It’s possible they were made in Maine be­fore operations moved to New York; Remington also has one other produc­tion plant in Hickory, Ky., according to the compa­ny’s website. A spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Charles Schum­er said he has consistently said that he believes it’s appropriate for lawmak­ers to support production of semiautomatic assault­style weapons for mili­tary and law enforcement use, but that the guns don’t belong in the hands of civilians. Schumer, who has helped Remington se­cure Army contracts in­cluding an $8.9 million award in 2011 to produce 1,212 M24 sniper rifles, joined the company at last year’s event announcing the move of Bushmaster to Ilion. Since the Newtown shootings, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said better gun control should be addressed first with federal legislation, noting New York already has some of the toughest gun laws and many of the guns used in crimes come from out of state. He added that the state ban on so-called assault weapons has “sig­nificant loopholes,” in­cluding allowing large-ca­pacity magazines made before 1994. “Much of the law’s on the cosmetics of the gun, the design of the gun, rather than the actual ca­pacity of it, so there’s no question but that the law needs to be improved, in my mind,” he said. New York law general­ly prohibits possession of an assault weapon or large-capacity magazine, felonies punishable by up to seven years in prison. An assault weapon is de­fined as a semiautomatic rifle that can use a detach­able magazine and has at least two of these other characteristics: folding stock, pistol grip, bayonet mount, flash suppressor or grenade launcher. Police said the Bush­master that William Spengler used to kill two firefighters in an ambush Monday was equipped with a flash suppressor, which makes it harder for a potential target to see the flash of light emitted from the end of the rifle barrel when a round is fired. Many of the Bush­master rifles advertised also have pistol grips. “I think much more has to be done on assault weapons, quote unquote, starting with the point: How do you define an as­sault weapon?” Cuomo said. He promised his gun proposal in his State of the State Address on Jan. 9. Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi said subsidies to Remington were awarded under the previous administration and that are no pending requests for future aid. Assemblyman Marc Butler, a Republican who represents Ilion, said that Remington makes guns that are legal and that the company and the commu­nity are getting “a bad rap.”

Some beautiful racks !

Get paid for three give the rest for free ! I don't think any criminals will be turning in their guns .

The video is too long . Got the idea with the 1st grind !

I have to take my son into Rochester at 6 am to catch the Megabus back to NYC . I used the snowthrower on the driveway last night but have quite a bit more now . It's blowing like mad but i'm not about to wake the neighborhood by running it now . The wind is blowing pretty hard right now .

For those of you who own the Savage 220 slug gun , what scope and mounts are you using ?
