I was just looking at some brass that I fired with my Savage 111 .30-06, and I noticed that the firing pin impact point isn't exactly in the same place on any of the 5 casings. Why?
1. If your auction is set up, with a "no reserve" why is there a reserve starting price?
2. It appears, that most of the black powder sellers are not being realistic. if you can but the revolver from cabellsa for $190.00 new, why would you pay $225.00 for used, or new old stock.?
3. If after three tries on auction and no sale, why not lower the price. Doesn't no sale, say, the price is too high. Same with no bids.
4. It an automatic, I'm not going to buy your black powder revolver, if you stae ffl only. Da! That adds $25.00 MORE TO THE COST...
5. Presentation makes the sale. Why post a pic, thats so dark, the item is not clearly visible?
Just some points, I'd like to make with sellers.
I have noticed a couple of things about the ppl in this forum, and the same may hold true in other forums, but for now its this one I have seen it happen in most...
Why is it when a "hot topic" like illegal immigration, abortion, gun rights, child molesters etc hit the news and then hit the discussion here, we get a whole lot of newbies who already know how to post, know the first names of most of the other posters, and type a whole lot like other ppl in here?....why only on hot topics?..
Yes I know I am going to be "bit**ed at for ranting, but I have just washed my floors, did 2 loads of laundry, and deciding what to have for dinner when classic comes home so go bit** at someone who really cares...*LOL
Why is a giveaway locked?...the one for a patriot giveaway?
If nunn was asked to draw the winner ...then why was he asking about it in an earlier post?....and why lock the flipping thing...most are left open to at least congratulate the winner...
Why is it when Saxon states his opinion there has to be a comment about his degree of education?. No remarks about his opinion. Is this board not about opinions?.
I think Saxon more than anyone here has laid his life open for all to see. He has spent his time on the street, In the bars, And on the ground. This has been backed up by people who have known him for many years.
When I first came on this board the very people that bash Saxon for his education. Bashed me for my poor spelling. After being humiliated, And ready to go off in shame. A private E-Mail showed up from Saxon. Telling me how to cut and paste. Also not to give up. So what we have is the same people bashing those with more education than there selves, And the ones with less.
When a member falls on hard times is Saxon not one of the first to respond with words of encouragement. If a member has good news. He is right there with praise.
I think of this like building a large stone wall. We need the educated man to design the wall. We need the man on the pick and shovel to build the wall. I guess the bashers are what we use to fill in the cracks.
I have herd it said we fear that we don't know. I think some here fear men who do know.
Marine Home From Iraq War, Wife Allegedly Assaulted Outside Florida Theater by Teen Mob
How is it that a citizen of this great Nation is assaulted at a damn movie and it's a misdemeanor charge for the damn assailants, but add a LEO to the equation and all the sudden the same assaulters are now facing a felony?
So, average citizens are trying to enjoy a movie and are terrorized by these idiots and "oh well" it's a minor incident, but add a man who straps on his gear each day knowing he'll face idiots such as this, and its a felony? What gives?
Why do so many people around here get into a snit over minor crap that really doesn't have one bit of bearing on them or their lives? What a bunch of wags! I think some of you must have really boring lives and your only excitement is conjured drama on the forum. Who gives a rat's * about who was looking at photos and how he did it?
The only reason I even read some of this nonsense is that it makes me feel better about my pitiful, pathetic life.
Why do all the people Ages 10-20 want to be gangsters[?] It is sickening! Being bad is good, being good is bad. It's like real role models got thrown out the door. Rap is the main music, Whitch is the worst. Pants are at hanging down. Skirts are getting smaller(I would not be complaning about this part, except the girls wearing them are only 15 years old. Dose this bother anyone else?
Iam on vacation and other than a few problems with a glitch here, I am having fun. The problem is, I have seen a few guns I wanted but instead bought a child's rocker. I walked into a gun shop and found where the ammo is, even some 5mm. Yet I bought a 4 foot raggedy Ann doll. I think grand kids are are pain. I will tell them when I get home. Don

Not just the Liberty mess. It's just that I don't understand why people sit and watch the news, the same news I'm watching, get up, walk over to their computers and report it on here. Don't anyone have any thoughts of their own anymore? LTS we both know you live in Temple! Wouldn't a good old knock down drag out fight be a lot more exciting? Seems all the good fighters went some place else. Hell I can't even count on WhiteClouder for a good fight and he could fight with the best of them.
Rosie the lonely dom dom dom doodley do waa
Rosie: Reminds me of the bet I had with a blonde co-worker. We were watching the 6 o'clock news about a guy getting ready to jump off the Suncoast bridge. I bet her $5.00 he would jump; she took the bet. Well, sure enough, he jumped. She tried to pay me but I confessed I had seen the newscast at 5 o'clock and couldn't take her money. She said, "Take it; I saw it too, but I didn't think he would do it this time."
It's not what you know that gets you in trouble, it's what you know that just ain't so!
Rosie..
I agree completely with you... I watch the news... read the papers, discuss the more important items with Classic, but that is... shall we say... the average person?...
My own thoughts are that some people are "too lazy" to read the paper, change to the news channel on tv, so they get the news from here.... Quite frankly, some are even too lazy to type in a word under Google and do some searching on a particular item....they want someone else to do the research for them...I just spent a week doing research for a person... printed all the info out.. gave it to them..and their response was..."It was so much to read when I did the search and I didnt feel like reading it"... but they dont stop and think about the person they ask to do it for them...
As for most of the news items here, I skip over most of them.... I, myself have posted some news items in here, but most of it local or something that I have a very strong opinion on...in other words.. if it ticks me off.. I will post it.. *LOL
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM well sorry i don't get to watch tv out here all the time i dont get newspapers everyday...But i do produce a lot of the oil and gas you use everyday...So if your refering to my postings well geez i guess i just have to find a better job so i can watch tv,read the paper and be updated like all the people on here and if anyone else wants to post something on here that i might have or i might have not seen i will no say quit it i seen it already..I JUST GO TO THE NEXT POST FROM SOMEONE LIKE YOU.... I BET YOU SCARE OFF MORE NEW PEOPLE HERE THEN THE OLD NEWS......SORRY BUT IF YOUR GONNA GRIPE THEN SO WILL I
I agree to a point. At times this opens up topics that allows members to discuss stating their own personal input and opinions. We have alot of knowledge on this board, especially concerning weapons and military, and I do not think it repetitive if they post their own insight to an issue.
I'm a remote flipper with the best of them and I've been a news junkie since before the non-stop Gulf War coverage plastered all over CNN. So I try to be self-regulating about what I bring up here, but occasionally I get something on my mind and I have to post it. Like the Heston news. At least 3 of us posted that, but heck, the guy's a living legend and his news creates food for thought on a gun board, so what the heck. Some of the news makes good thread topics here. It isn't the report so much as the replies that I read. I often skip over a news story that I already know the details of to read the reactions -- which as you know, can be diverse and entertaining on here. I hope you don't mean me, but if so, I'll try to do better about stating the obvious.
As for mentioning that a particular TV show is on tonight, people have actually asked to have them mentioned before rather than discussed afterward, and I'm glad a couple folks mentioned shows that I would have missed otherwise. I hate to miss a good gun show.

Some people do not have 5 TV's that they sit in front of. When they do want to watch something on TV it is for entertainment, not the (mostly) DEPRESSING news stories. As far as newspapers, when the subscription costs go from $6.00 a year, straight to $75.00 a year, (and they always threw it in the creek anyway). I don't think so. Once a news story has been broadcast (by anyone) it is now "OLD NEWS" to anyone who had seen that broadcast. Heaven help the people who were not sitting in front of the "box" to see it live. Like others have said, the "replies" (which I would think are "their own thoughts") are for the most part, what is worth reading. So I will use the "right" of choice, and continue to pick and choose which posts that I will read and/or respond to. So be it if I am labeled "TOO LAZY".

I never took you for a coward but just when you get into it real good you back out! Is that the way everyone who lives on eighth street in Temple do it?

Rosie ,some guys are chained to their computers locked to this forum.
They only go out to Gun shows and to hunt and gather....
They need some news from time to time .....
Or else their minds turn to wind and exit by the wrong way...
HeDog, something we FINALLY AGREE ON!
Gee, Iam proud.
I don't have a TV simply because I don't want to
hear about the Stuff that goes on in the world.
But I come over here and it is like someone just
can't wait to tell about the rape and pilage that
goes on in the world. It is kind of hard to pass
it by when the subject line cares the "NEWS".
Anyway, that's just me.

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them.
I find that about half of the news stories that are posted here are posted before I hear about them somewhere else. I'm pretty busy, and don't have much time to watch the news so It's kind of helpful - but also a little anoying at times - I guess I can see both sides.
SORRY....I couldn't disagree more then if you told me night is day.The major news whores report what they are told to..local sources report LOCALLY....I pick up many interesting things on here that there would not be a source for otherwise...And,oh by the way,I have a job,I can't watch 24 hours a day for that 30 second sound bite that is important today....so the five tv's all reporting the same thing is meaningless...believe me,I have turned on two sets in the past,to two different stations,and the talking heads are reporting the same thing,with the same WORDS !!!! AS per instructions !!!
Awww come on LTS, come on out and play! WhAt good do you get out of posting a few things and then deleting them? Your momma see your computer and smack your hands?

Can someone enlighten me as to the reasoning behind having a button fly instead of a zipper fly?
