  1. Sounds to me like you ruined a A&S trigger guard. 

    By bushing pin, what one are you referring to?  If you sanded out any pin holes in the A&S there is a very good chance you have made a unsafe weapon. 

    This thread was the first one I thought of when reading this..

    It takes very little effort to make this gun Dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.

    AMD vs Intel yep basically coke/pepsi. 

    Amd was behind intel for years regarding performance but since they introduced  first series Ryzen cpu they are on par or even outperform intel in most cases. 

    You mean sites like pcpartpicker.com? 

    I threw together really quick system have a look https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yMncx6

    Dont be bothered with the sata compatibly note down there it, i selected an m.2 nvme drive wich is about 4-5 times faster than any drive you can plug into a sata port + there are 6 total sata ports on the mobo and if two of them dont work int aint a big deal at all. 

     

     

    pcpartpicker.com    Yes! Thats the place!  Its also cool because I can build it with parts from my local Best Buy picked as the vendor and then just go down the road to pick up parts.

    I like your system, its basic and exactly what im looking to build. I think Id do a small M.2 for the OS and a larger SSD for everything else.  

    The savings on that AMD is crazy!   She doesn't play any games, so this may be a great way to cut some $$ from the overall build. Thanks man! 

  3. Thanks Schutzhund.  My wife and I both have been running the Pentium 7's for the last 5 or so years. I have looked at AMD but just dont know anything about them.. Coke/Pepsi?

    I have been researching a few builds and have found websites that you can "plug" your parts in and they tell you if there are any known issues or not. Its a handy website but it also scares me a bit because it seems like every time I build a virtual machine, it has "issues" according to the warnings on the site. 

    My wife usually has about 30 windows open at any given time, and has no choice but to run conflicting/older software on her machine. Im constantly dealing with issues with every one of her machines. I think we paid $1600 last time for a really nice Dell thinking if we just throw money at it, it will work better. I've tried everything to rid the demons from her computer but they still transfer over each time. 

    Looking at this one right now, Id have to add ram and a SSD right off..

  4. Computer question:

    How or will I benifit from building my own computer?  Will I really save that much money?  I just replaced mine at a tune of $1300, "ouch"  now its time for the wifes machine...

    any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Guess what? It's not actually an impeachment unless and until the House managers make it to the Senate floor and present the articles of impeachment. Essentially Trump hasn't been subjected to impeachment YET. Dumborats are so stupid.

    Interesting.  Very interesting. thank you.

    Its funny, less than 48 hours ago they were saying he was "obstructing congress!",  "No time to go to court!"  "We gotta do this NOW!!!"  "He's a threat to the constitution!" 

    and now its ..."well lets just play it by ear and see what happens...."

    We need a freakin trial but Piglowsey just gonna sit on it.   How can they even call this an impeachment when its not even 1/4 of one?

    I got mine for two reasons.  Bears and roving Hoards of Democrats.

    I'm getting older and sicker, so my chances of a bear encounter are getting less and less each day.

    However...  My chances of encountering roving hoards of Democrats seems to be increasing more and more  each day, so I got that going for me...

    Ill gladly give you an up-vote on that my friend ..and for the balls to say it!   I was just telling my wife yesterday that I feel like I woke up in the Twilight-Zone or something. 

    I wont say much on here,.......even though Im tempted.....

    watching "Emperor Palpatine Nancy Pelosi" try to hide her smile yesterday made me puke in my mouth a Little bit..

    ..just changing Benelli's huge rubber one for a AR style one...nothing to do with the extension at all...

    ....

    p.s.   the bear attack story sucked me in like a MOFO......

    Haaha!  Cool, I had fun writing it!  My wife read it over my shoulder and busted a gut laughing...especially after I added the movie still to it. ???

    We've had our share of close encounters with bears though.....and I do bring the M4 with me when we venture out. Most of the time the bears want nothing to do with us and just trot off into the woods when we meet. Had one get real close to me while I was in my "zone" fishing one time...another fisherman across the bank waves at me and pointed. I turned around and had a griz sitting about 30ft from me. He was probably waiting for me to land a salmon and then steel it from me. This happens often.?

    I think you said it a couple weeks prior to Thanksgiving!

     

    One power outage is all it took. I was sitting here watching a YouTube video and "lights out"..when the power finally came back on,.. my computer did not..

    Probably time to replace it anyway, it was 6 years old. 

    ....but all they had to replace it was one of those "gaming" setups with flashing lights all over it!.. My house is lit up like a neon bar at night....and I keep having alien abduction dreams.

  10. Good people just dont grow on trees, ...Stranger is good people.  He's one of the few people I send a shout out to on Thanksgiving each year. I truly am thankful for good people like SD.

    ...except this year, my computer got fried right before TG.....but he knows I still care......

  11. I almost died by a bear attack, I live up north where the big ones roam..

    I knew a 12ga slug was a great choice for bear protection and carried a Mossberg pump action and practiced with it regularly. At the time I was against a semi-auto shotgun because I had convinced myself that simple was better,.. and who in there right mind would pay $2000 for a shotgun!? ?

    I woke up covered in moss and fresh pungent soil. My breathing was raspy as though I had flim that I couldn't quite cough up. I couldn't see out of my left eye and I could smell and taste that distinctive iodiney smell of blood. My heart pounded back alive with a great rush of adrenaline as I started to recall what had happened to me and where I currently was....

    I was buried alive, by a bear.  You see, a bear wont usually eat something its killed right away, it will bury it and come back to it later after it has ripened up a bit. This knowledge was flooding through my brain faster than the speed of light as I lay there contemplating my next move.

    I've told this story over and over again now thousands of times and I've come to realize that we; the bear and I, were playing a chess game of sorts. He made his move by hunting me down and attacking me, I countered his move by a misplaced shotgun slug due to adrenaline followed by a short-stroke of my shotgun leaving me with nothing but a "click" of the trigger when it really needed to count. The bear did what he does best and I assumed the fetal position playing dead until I couldn't stand the pain any longer of him ripping off a but cheek and almost removing my left foot. I blacked out.

    I didnt realize just how comfortable I was in this makeshift early grave until I decided to move.

    The pain was unlike anything Id ever experienced before and I let out a grown that didn't even sound like it came from me. Now,..back to the chess part.....  This entire time the bear was sitting a few feat away so as I had just got my first breath of "dirt nap" freedom the all to familiar crunching sound of bear teeth on my skull was back again....actually this whole story is made up for your enjoyment...the reason I purchased a m4 is because I got tired of my m3 jamming. have a good day gents. 

    Picture my camera took during the attack ...Im on bottom..

  12. Like Scout_21, I also used a torch. Ive done six of them now. I take an old wash cloth and soak it and lay it over the receiver before I heat the tube. The Loc-Tite WILL start to smoke a bit. Never had one come loose before it started to smoke.
