    Would you intervene?

    I saw a similar situation at a rural WV gas station a long time ago. I was on a beer run with a bluegrasspicker-ette who was all of 100#. She's one of those mountain girls who punches double her weight class, though! I offered the crying girl a ride while my friend covered me with the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 smith

    Got it. Then I'd say have it done up like you want it then scruff it up with your dad :^) If no one comes along with a good smith it's worth checking out 1911addicts dot com. Those guys will be more than happy to spend your $$$.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 smith

    I don't have a smith to recommend, but if your dad put those wear marks on it I'd think long and hard before getting it refinished. You can't buy those kinds of memories. Please disregard if your dad's still alive. Sincerely, Dude with his dad's old 1911

    Bannon Indicted by DOJ

    VooDoo, you were lucky enough to have access to a historical rarity. If you have the time to type I'd really like to hear more of your thoughts, at least clarification of the "not in the way that you think it was/is" part.

    Which devices are listening?

    If you're looking for a Faraday container to keep your phone isolated, be aware that there are faraday dry bags on the market as well. They're not very expensive, so if you're going that route anyways you might as well protect against water at the same time. Or better yet, just throw the...

    Which suppressor, but with a twist...

    Thanks to all who chimed in. That really helps. I'm going to stick with the original plan and run the rifle with the Dominus. Only eight more months to go! ---(assuming my barrel shows up by then)

    Mystery Ranch 3DAP vs Kifaru 22 mag for PRS

    If organization's part of your consideration be sure to look at all of the pouches that Kifaru sells. Those "belt packs" can clip right onto the molle webbing of the 22Mag. They have other options as well.

    Which suppressor, but with a twist...

    Wow! It took all of 20 minutes on a forum on Saturday afternoon. I guess what they say about TBAC's customer service is true. Much appreciated. Thanks for the insights, Zak. That makes a lot of sense. You're correct, I was talking about the CB version. Even with all of that insight, I...

    Which suppressor, but with a twist...

    I'd like to hear some opinions on this... I'm building my perfect forever rifle. It's a handy not-too-heavy bolt-action precision rig modeled after my current budget version that slowly evolved over the last 15 years. It's used around the farm and at an occasional long-range match (for fun...

    Lesbian with an AR pistol

    Thank you for that, it's a great story! I'm going to have to Monday-morning quarterback the running off of the entertainment like that, but I guess it was a different time.

    Lesbian with an AR pistol

    I believe there is a very interesting story here. Please tell! ETA: Bonus points if there's a mechanical bull involved...

    Backpack Brands

    Of all the packs mentioned my only experience is with Kifaru. I've been using their stuff for well over a decade. My packs include a small day pack (called the E&E), a Gen I Molle Express, and a Woodsman. They're all awesome. And the company is awesome. A critter chewed through my old...

    Beef

    Was it skinned or was the skin still on? Also, what were the day and night temperatures?

    Homesteading: sloped land or flat?

    As far as the slope vs flat land question with an orchard, be aware of frost pockets. I have an orchard and a couple of acres of vineyard at my farm. It's on high ground that's gently sloping in a zone-4 to zone-5 region. It would be zone-5, but sometimes WV winters throw you a curveball...

    Interesting read on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

    Thanks, Maggot! I love it when folklore and history meet up like this. A lot of the science behind it is new to me. There's a lot to chew on there. In the meantime, I will definitely try to take less for granted...

    Had a great day!

    When your wife kicks your ass and then kicks you to the curb, you're welcome to crash on my couch. But that's only if you bring the primers.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Trigger

    I switched the trigger springs and the connectors out on mine. It's pretty cheap (~$30/gun) and left me with a good balance so that I could compete with a carry gun. I went 3.5 pounds on the bigger Glocks and 4.5 on the 26 that's more for backpacking/river trips. It's still a Glock trigger...

    TBAC Direct thread vs CB Brake

    I want to echo what Old Man with Gun said because I think it solves the Maelstrom's dilemma. It's the solution I went with. Given the popularity of brakes, no one ever mentions the flash hider option. It's like they don't exist. Some of TBAC's vendors don't even list it as an option. But...

    Saturday is Juneteenth

    Who said it had to be either/or? I'm with you, and let's up the ante a few more federal taxpayer-paid days off!
