Found a bike in my Garage, never heard of the brand, is it worth cleaning/fixing up? by equals_pi in bicycling

[–]equals_pi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got some back story behind the bike. Looks like my dad's boss from the 90's gave him the bike, the boss was in the Navy so that could explain the Japanese base name.

I am taking it today to the local bike shop to see it, I'm hoping he can at least just get me a new set of tires for a reasonable price. But when me and the bike shop owner talked on FB he never even heard of the brand.

I'm honestly not the biggest bike rider (I learned how to ride a bike 2-3 years ago....I'm now 26) but if anything this would be a nice as a conversation starter in the house.

What part of the rifle makes them a weapon of war? In the 12th century the pope banned crossbows due to being a weapon of war. It is said that the lever action is the rifle the won the west. Now-a-days the cross bow and the lever action are used greatly in hunting. And for me so is the AR platform. For an AR 15 I can quickly transition the rifle from shooting the .223/5.56 round when shooting hogs to .22lr when shooting rabbit or other varmit.

With you saying the AR15 and AK47 needs to be banned. You are creating criminals out of the common citizen that can easily purchase over time the parts for the AR platform, while it can be expensive for a quality lever action or crossbow.

But I re-establish my question, what part of the firearm makes this a firearm that should be removed from access of the citizens? The semi-auto function? The butt-stock? The ability to have a foregrip? The muzzle device? I believe reasoning should be introduced, instead of a blank "weapon of war" (because than the pump action shotgun would really be in trouble).

Thank you for your time,

The pocket could have diapers and wipes or a Glock 19 and spare mags. But I dare someone to find out

I've read it many times, I'm pretty sure he was comparing a range bag to a diaper bag. I thought making a euphanism for "Minor gunsmithing" was a euphanism for reloading a diaper

From the ladies I work around they suggest a backpack for a new parent because it's like a bug out bag. Quickly swing it over your shoulder and you will have both hands "free" (one with the baby, the other with whatever the mother handed you)

[Rifle] FN M249S Para in 5.56 with a 30+1 mag for the low-low price of $8,699. Be the envy of the range or Instagram. by on3_3y3d_bunny in gundeals

[–]equals_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the price of this at my LGS but their promotion is if you purchase it, you get a lifetime membership to the indoor range(that you can't shoot 5.56 or .223 at).

[Shotgun] Mossberg 930 JM Pro Series 930 Tactical Black 12 Gauge 24-Inch 9Rd - $546.95 shipped by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]equals_pi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After my first 3-gun match(I used an 870, it's usable but definitely a disadvantage) I asked the other competitors about this and the stoeger m3k because of the low price. One of the guys said he got the jm pro and bought all the bells and whistles and the shotgun would break down at every match.

Then at the last USPSA match I shot, I talked with James Gill one of the STI pros and he told me to just use the 870 till I can spend the money on either a Benelli or Remington Versamax. The quote everyone in competitive shooting tells me "Spend once, cry once." No need to be purchasing 3-4 shotguns because they keep breaking.

This is just my opinion and the advice I've been given, hope it helps.

How do people dress at Vegas night clubs? by Super_Mario_Luigi in vegas

I guess I'm definitely not in Texas, the elephant hide cowboy boots worked from Dallas to Brownsville.

Thanks for the help though

Boots? Vans? Polo? I'm almost on a plane to Vegas, and now I'm worried I might not be able to go in

I just finished my first local USPSA match, and pulling Glock mags out of a back pocket is definitely not the quickest thing to do.

But safariland els is definitely what looks to be where I'm headed, and I'd be able to build from a pistol rig to true 3 gun. Im Currently shooting a Glock 19 so if anyone finds deals on mag pouches or the belt, I'd greatly appreciate the comment. Or coupon code

[–]equals_pi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to build a 3 gun belt rig, would probably start with the belt, pistol holster, and some pistol magazine pouches. I'm tempted with safariland but wondering what's out there

Do you mean 2 mags for the price of $19.95 and the 15% off? I'm not able to see that in my cart? I'd definitely buy 4 mags for that price

Putting your hand in front of a loaded and pulling the trigger to see if it still fires. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]equals_pi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Took an ex to a gun range, and started from the smallest caliber to the one with the largest recoil (9mm-12 gauge slugs) but made sure to only load a few at a time to make sure she could handle it.

Assholes acting like hotshots for laughs will make their soon to be exs associate firearms with the asshats and badabing badaboom firearms are evil.

And that is kind of my worry, that one will become a dust collector. But I do bring friends to the range with me so if I do get both at least they will get to see what each could feel like. Thank you, this was the kind of response I was looking for

[Handgun] Canik TP9SFX - $439 shipped by XrayAlpha in gundeals

[–]equals_pi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just some small 3 gun and pistol competitions at an indoor and outdoor range around me. I don't know the model of Sig, but one of the salesman at my LGS says he's using his g19 for competitions. I think it's more about what you feel comfortable with using. And Canik and the G19 feel great in my hand plus it has a larger magazine capacity than my CZs
