      Rossi 713 grip replacement (help)

      I need help finding a good way to replace the grips on an older Rossi 713. I have searched every site I could think of looking for a possible replacement for those little plastic grips that com on it. If anyone has a possible solution whether it be using like a monogrip or something for another...

      SAR ST10 Need Input Please

      So I stumbled upon a listing for one of these The other day and have to admit that I am intrigued. On its face it seems like an HK clone with a more controllable grip than the USP. I owned a USP and loved it, but could never get consistent grouping due to its brick-like grip and my tiny little...

      Value of Colt 1911 .45 Mark IV series 70

      If u list it at $800, I am sure u could have it sold in 24 hours or less. If u are in no hurry, give me about 3 to 6 months and I'd give u 850-900 myself once I get all these school related expenses squared away. Seriously though, I had a series 80 in very similar condition and ended up having...

      People not pulling over for EMS

      I don't get the mentality of these people. How could you even consider hindering an ambulance or fire truck? Now, for the most part anyway, they all get out of the police car's way. That is because he can impose negative consequences on them. I think that is everything I need to know about these...

      People not pulling over for EMS

      This may be a little off topic, or has perhaps been mentioned before. But I would like to go ahead and apologize to all LE, Firefighters, and EMS for the completely ridiculous fact that people won't get the hell out of the way when they see that you are coming with the lights and sirens on. I...

      When SHTF, what will be your rifle of choice?

      Yes sir, if the S has HTF I would imagine that means that whatever bullets I have will be just about all I'm gonna have. Marlin 336 was my first hunting rifle. Accurate and reliable, plus I am generally comfortable with it. So I think a lever action will suit me just fine. If I'm wrong guess I...

      When SHTF, what will be your rifle of choice?

      Might have to update my original post here. Found a marlin 336 30-30 in need of some serious TLC, but mechanically sound for $130. So give me a couple months to break it down, refinish (wood and metal), and replace the sights. And I think that will become my new SHTF gun. I actually might paint...

      When SHTF, what will be your rifle of choice?

      Seems like a lot of animousity here. I thought this whole thing (Bayou Shooter) was just for folks kinda like me to discuss random topics. Whether those topics are realistic or just plain ridiculous, the idea is still for open discussion. So why all the poo flinging here? If someone says that...

      SHTF?

      Again, thanks for the advice. They made a very vague announcement of "upcoming changes" at work today. So I might end up implementing some of this sooner than later.

      SHTF?

      Thank u for the advice. I was not really expecting this to produce completely sound words of wisdom if we are being honest. Austin and Nomad particularly, u guys seem to have a real grip on things and I appreciate any guidance. I really didn't know what to expect when I started this. I guess I...

      When SHTF, what will be your rifle of choice?

      I don't know what others' situations are, but I have 2 small children. So a 10 mile hike is not really a possibility with or without rifles. But I agree that many folks couldn't make it to the damn bus stop if their life depended on it.

      SHTF?

      Nomad, definitely agree with your assessment. Unfortunately, my wife and I are in some pretty heavy student loan debt. Nobody was picking up the tuition tab like the trust fund babies I see everytime I go to class. But we keep no credit cards and only have our mortgage and one car note to stay...

      SHTF?

      I can use my weapons well enough. And if it's my kids (or my wife and I who protect them) lives are on the line, I'll deal with the guilt later. I am not saying that I can remove guilt all together, but I will not fail to protect my family. Ask anyone who knows me at all and they will tell u the...

      SHTF?

      I know this means different things to different people. But what could we really do if something truly paradigm altering were to happen. I know many of you are military trained and lets face facts, that makes you far more mentally able to handle something like this. As for me, I would simply be...
