    I know you guys don't like giving opinions,
    but what do yall think about this?
    Here in Fl. with a concealed wepons permit
    you can not carry a visable firearm.
    but what if you were to have a holster such
    as a flap type that completely covered the
    weapon making it not visable, but not hiding
    the fact that you are carrying a wepon.
    would this be in compliance with the law?

    a firend of mine asked me a question today that i though interesting so i'll pass it along to you folks:

    say your hired by a private, armed security company that requires employess to caryy .38cal revolvers. in your opinion, should you be able to carry a .357 loaded with .38's?

    not that it really makes a difference, but its food for thought

    I know, dangerous title [8D]

    I am looking for advice on a rifle. I want to target shoot for fun, maybe an occasional local tourny. I want accuracy from 50yds to 500+yds. Style wise I like the Ar15/ military style. I carried an m-16 for 3 years so I have a liking for it. I will be adding a scope to it.
    .223, .308 etc? Price wise less than 1500. Who should I stay away from?

    TIA,
    Scott

    What do you guys think about these, they're vinyl decals, made to put on your car. Do you think they deter crime, or promote hostility and escalate situations? I was kind of thinking that they would have a negative effect, and do more harm than good.

    What are your feelings on stores that limit primers to 1000 per cust. I kinda like it, I'm not against capitalism, I just feel that limiting them gets the needed components into the hands of the people that need them that cant afford to pay .10 a piece. In case SHTF.

    normally something htis bad would not be shared, but before i sopend the time re-doing it would like some opinions
    corian is VERY hard, especially cutting with knife/file doing the inlet, and if i ever do much of it will have to keep an extra checkering set to use only for that so i dont dull the one i use for wood

    the idea was tossed to me by a member some time back and finally decided to see how it looked and how much time to do it
    corian with rosewood inlay
    cQo44cHI
    you can see where it cracked when i clamped too tight, and the inlets were rough, but you get the idea
    checkering barely shows in the pick, but got VERY sharp

    I had to google corian to first find out what it is.

    Is this stuff so hard that it is brittle?
    I ask, because I would be concerned with a client getting a bit hamhanded and cracking one while reinstalling it.

    None the less, I agree with retroxler. I like the look.

    I can envision the use of a small 3 axis cnc mill coupled with 2 simple programs of cutter paths and pumping those out by the dozens.

    or maybe 4 axis

    I like!
    i have some grey corian grips, look like stone. smooth finish. they seem durable enough. probably similar to stag in that respect.
    agree CNC for big numbers, but plunge router,drill press, or even dremel with pattern guide would work for inletting.

    I think you're going to regret putting something as unstable as wood inside corian.

    But I think it looks absolutely great.

    Have you thought about making up some alternating types of corian and then cutting them out?

    I've worked with Corian, & don't think it's that hard. I'd say it's close to walnut, but without the grain & pores. Corian will be abraded/worn by the finest abrasive. But, it is extremely stable & will never warp or shrink.

    Cracks/gaps can be easily repaired with glue that is mixed with Corian dust.

    not so brittle as to break during normal use, i wasnt paying enough attention and had the clamp set much too tight and the leverage allowed me to close it anyway causding the crack

    i have also turned some corian, and that worked very well
    still trying to find the adhesive that works best to laminate

    corian sands and cuts easily enough, but try working it with knife and chisel sometime
