I'm bored so I took the rear sight off my reproduction M1 Carbine and threw my scope mount on it. I have a 20mm red dot and a reflex red dot laying around and trying to decide if one of them wants a new home being mounted on my carbine.
Red Dot:
Reflex:
This is just an attempt at killing some time, I may or may not keep one of them on there. What do you think?0 -
your in a store, getting a soda and a candy bar. the guy in front of you speaks to the cashier, and your are overpowered by the presence of alcohol on his breath. his speech slurred, isnt walking to well etc. he walk out of the store, climbs into the drivers seat of his pickup, and motors off. do you:
a) follow him, call in his plate, location m/m/c of the vehicle etc.
b) mind your own business(who cares if he's driving through a neighborhood right?)
i realize that we all like to take a drink on occasion. i also realize that on occasion, some of us might even decide its a dandy idea to drive. please be objective in your responses

I have been debateing something for the last couple weeks.
Most of you know about my 94 Bronco XLT. It only has about 30000 miles on the new crate motor that was installed 3 years ago and pretty much looks like the day it was new and is 100% payed off and gets about 15mpg overall.
I am considering getting rid of it and getting me a new F-150 SuperCrew 4x2 XLT with a 5.4l motor. These are rated for 14 city and 19 hwy. My payments would be about $350 per month and my insurance would go up about $60 per month.
What would you do? Do I tie myself into payments for 5 years or drive my Bronco that has nothing wrong with it and will probly last me at least 7 more years or longer with no more than I drive?0 -
I am looking for an inexpensive 243 bolt action for my stepdaughter for christmas... I like the savage line from what i see and read but in my budget range ( around$350) all i can find are synthetic stocks...which my wife detests! Any other options in a wood stock that im overlooking? Thanks 0 -
I didnt want to hijack the new guys thread about gun questions on health questionaire.
Need some opinions here. i have instructed my kids that they are not to tell no one about guns in this house. Now that doesnt include papaw or the immediate family. is this paranoid? Not that i am worried about theft as much as I am worried about the wrong person asking when its none of their damn business. ie Family Doctor or public school teachers and the like. just wondering if any of you do this?0 -
I am getting ready to make some home made corn bread to go with my bean soup.
I will be making it in a cast iron skillet.
Should I lightly coat my skillet with lard or butter flavored crisco?
Which will give me the best flavor?0 -
Some of you are aware of the Fugitive recovery thing I'm doing. Originally I thought this was more than it actually is (remember my tactical question that got such good feedback?).
Basically we will approach the subject or their home normally dressed, but carrying pistols underneath. I have two pistols that can be used at the moment. My Kahr P45 and CZ 40P. Both of which I absolutely love and trust.
The Kahr is a compact 45 with a 6+1 capacity. I have 3 magazines for a total of 19rds on my person.
CZ is a full size 40 S&W with a 10+1 capacity. I have 2 magazines for a total of 21rds on my person.
Essentially, the pistol will RARELY be used. Even then it may be only needed to convince somebody to get down. Even rarer then that would it actually be needed to defend myself. I plan on using the CZ. Do you think I will have the capacity to get out of where I'm at and back to the vehicle? Otherwise I may order more magazines.
Also, which pistol would you take in with you?0 -
Got a friend looking for a 9mm pistol.
He took a look at the new S&W M&P model and liked it. He asked my opinion of the pistol but I haven't fired or even handled one.
I told him I'd ask on the forums if anyone had any experience with it.
Also, how does it compare with the S&W 99, the Springfield XD and or anything else similar.
He's not interested in a Glock. Doesn't care for the grips.

Do you think a company should ask an employee to float up to 75% of the employees pay to cover business travel and lodging expenses?
It can take up to five weeks to get a check for expenses. The shortest amount of time is 3 ? weeks?
A credit card is not a option for this.0 -

Thinking about trying to expand my blacksmithing hobby to make a little money. If it were you, what would you do? First, I know it needs a name. I'm fond of "revolutionary ironworks" but suggestions are welcome. Second, I need a way to get my product out there. Thinking about a simple website like Oldemagic's, but how much would that cost? And do y'all think I would make any money? If I could make atleast $150 a week average I'd up and quit my day job, but I don't foresee that. I know I need to build a stock of items ready to go to have on hand. Also, maybe set up shop at gun shows? The flea market? Any little avenue I can? Thanks for the help guys, I'm thinking long and hard about this. I love smithing, and I make only about $120 a week as it is, so it won't take much to keep me running. I'm going to try and have atleast 50 items for the main page. Forks, blades, s hooks, you name it. I'm also considering renting a bay at the place I work at now and running some business out of it. Ironworks, and I'll do gun cleaning (people don't like cleaning their guns, but for $25 I will). But, that takes money and I need to make sure I won't be spending more than i make. Man this is a headache. Not mentioning I'll probably have to start filing taxes or some crap. 0 -
I love apples.[;)] 0 -
Never tried anything smoked with cherry. Apple I know is good. Smoke some with each and let us know. 0 -
If you smoke trouser trout, what kind of wood do you use?
Peckerwood. [:D]0 -
Probably more important is what kind of brine you soaked them in.
Did you use salt water or something else?
I used to brine fish in a solution of water, salt, brown sugar, hot sauce and other stuff.0 -
my favorite fish smoke is hickory after a marinade overnight 0 -
GRD, I know this isn't on the level of the decision to use atomic weapons in World War II, but come on; you need this forum to help you with this one [?]
Use apple wood for cry'in out loud! [:D]0 -
something besides salmon.
I don't like fish0 -
Up in Alaska we smoke salmon with Alder wood - seriously delicious.
In the Lower 48, I get Alder planks at the local lumber yard. Be sure you tell whoever helps you that you are cooking salmon on the wood - so that you do not get any creosote wood or other treated wood. Cut plank to size - obviously.
The salmon will come out very moist and smoky! It makes the best smoked salmon we have ever eaten ... every time.

you gotta make this TGI Friday's Jack Daniels Sauce to "dip" your salmon when serving (great with any type of meat):
Trust me, it's delicious
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup Jack Daniel's
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup water
4 beef bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool and use as a sauce on any grilled meat or fish -- especially salmon!0 -
Prefered wood is alder I believe, never smoked with cherry. I wood think that apple is too mild, mix in some hickory. 0 -

I could not find any alder wood around here or else there would have never been a debate on it.
I desided to go with the apple.
I'll let you know how it turned out.0
