    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 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.

    So bash on varmit the un educated for a spell.

    The most important things, Are not things.

    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?

    This makes me mad on sooooo many levels.

    Your thoughts?

    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?

    Do some threads get moved to politics and some stay on GD?

    My golden rule thread was moved BUT there are still several on this page of the same nature??

    Makes no sense.

    I've been trying to figure out for years now the benefits of having a button-up fly on combat uniform pants instead of a zipper fly.

    ACUs have a zipper on the blouse, but they still use buttons on the fly (which never stay closed for me).

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

    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

    10. Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting?

    Ask GWB to speed up global waring so we can dispense with the need of a thermostat.

    The mixture in the battery gets to cold to easily allow the electrons to move preventing the battery from making enough juice to power the device. Your battery was probably close to dead anyway.

    Even when my mercury one got hit by the kids football and broke when it was butt * cold I just took it off and connected the wires by hand when I wanted the furnace to run.

    Don't see why you could not do the same with a battery operated model.

    I lost half my thermostat when my mother-in-law died after living here for several years.

    Before that, if she was whimpering, "It's cold in here," I knew to throw more wood in the stove. If my wife was whimpering, "Ooh, I'm burning up," I knew to open a window a crack. If both of them were whimpering, I knew the temperature was just right.
