      Nashville Police Chief Removed by Town Council, Her Supporters Are “Ashamed” and “Outraged”

      You don't look like you're old enough to have a nephew that is of age to join the ISP! You must be the baby of a large family, like me. :thumbsup:

      What the hell happened here (rhetorical)? And what do I do about it (genuine)?

      UPDATE: A good friend of mine saw this post and called to give me an education on this finish. He explained, as many of you have pointed out, this is NOT a Parkerized finish, and does NOT stand up to moisture well at all. Welp, here we are. As Leadeye will attest, Distilled White Vinegar is...

      AE AMMO….. TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!

      This. They don't make this fact widely known but this is the case.

      What the hell happened here (rhetorical)? And what do I do about it (genuine)?

      The bolt? Yes. So, the finish is something Remington does with some of their "service" arms. It has what appears to me as a Parkerized finish. Which, by the way, I previously believed to be rust impervious.

      What the hell happened here (rhetorical)? And what do I do about it (genuine)?

      I've had this 870 for a couple of decades. It has spent the majority of its life tucked in a corner of the bedroom closet. Recently, my youngest son started shooting clays with his friends. So, I installed a choked pheasant barrel on it and sent him on his way. He came home after one of many...

      This seems important…

      Dear God, please tell me it is not true. For if it is, I am doomed.

      A great rock band...

      I know first hand those corrugated roof panels are very pricey.

      Easy way to cut a car tire in half

      Fine toothed band saw, maybe.

      M1A or AR10?

      The mount on the rifle pictured is a Low Profile Bassett. I followed the included mounting instructions using the included tool. After hundreds of rounds it has not lost zero or worked loose or failed in any way.

      M1A or AR10?

      1,000 yd. configuration.

      M1A or AR10?

      The "Tanker" does not represent the platform well. Cutting 3.75" off the original design didn't improve the rifle.

      French drains are not from France...

      That's why they work. :lmfao:

      M1A or AR10?

      In the fall of 1998, I bought a new M1A Standard from Russ Elmore (a Vietnam Vet that ran a gun shop in Greenwood, IN back in the day). I sent it back to the factory and had it upgraded to full National Match specifications. I used that rifle for the next 10 years in competition, shooting out to...

      The Honeymoon is over

      Discovered this while checking fluid levels & general inspection. That is the timing chain cover. Thought you might find it interesting.

      Going Blue to support IMPD

      Time to necro this thread. I'm a month late on the anniversary of the event but coincidentally I had a member ask me privately about my blue light avatar. It started with a bright brass porch light, here's the rest of the story.

      The Honeymoon is over

      I don't believe so. It is similar to a snow machine design and it makes pretty good horsepower for a 3 cylinder 812cc motor.

      Is Your Pistol Drop Safe?

      Unfortunately, I can tell you from first had experience the S&W M&P 45c IS drop safe. Was staring right into the muzzle when I proved it. NOT a good time in my years of firearms experience.
