That's a great read, it's been in the FAQ for quite a while, it's surprising what can be found in there, lots of great stuff!! I first posted it here a couple years ago, IIRC.

better be careful with those pictures Quick, the Pelosi/Kennedy/Kerry/Socialist group will trying to get them all in a little while. And God help us all if Hillary gets in....of course if she gets in I may not even be able mention God!!! We don't want to let them Dem's know where to look to take our guns. Have you heard about the "Arsenal" license????      Them Dem's (gun and God hating socialists( really worry me....<><.... >:(

We gotta leave all the political talk to the other forums, we need to stay friends here! :D The three most controversial topics... religion, politics and Ford vs Chevy... not necessarily in that order!!!! ;D

OK, this is not political talk, Stimpy is my buddy and I love him like my brother, just as I do my other buddy in the below post...sorry Quick...

Why Stimpylu32 my old buddy!!! You had me fooled, you look and sound like such a rugged, God loving, gun shooting guy that just loved contact sports growing up!!! Oh well. I once had a Trooper that worked for me when I was an NCO at a Sub-Station (Barracks). Steve was a Sgt. in the good old USMC, he was a real man's man and only after a year or so it somehow came out that he was Democrat!!! I was shocked and told him I had heard a rumor that there was a Democrat on the oldest State Police Organization in the Northern Hemisphere, 10 years older the the RCMP, but I never suspected that he worked for me!!! Steve told me he thinks he was the only Democrat in the Marine Corp also, at least he was the only one in his outfit when they got bombed in the Library building in Beruit. He was unjured in the bombing and lost buddies there but made it home and serves again on the Mass State Police. Steve is a great guy, and he is, or was, a Democrat. I have not seen him since I retired. So there are 2 fine Democrats I have known Stimpy, you and Steve....<><.... ;)

24kilo, not a problem in the least, it's good that you shared it so everyone can see it, I'm sure there are lots here that have missed it in the FAQ, thanks!!

Here's something else that's in the FAQ that hasn't been discussed for a while, the H&R factory tour video...

Stimpy, I drive a Toyota and my wife drives a VW, before that I drove a Chevy and before that, a Dodge, and...... it's all good!!! :D

The best part is that they used a caliber to compare that has lots of uses.  Usually the reviews are for something limited like the .500 S&W.  Don't think I'm knocking the .500 or others, just that there is more chance of someone new wanting one of the K-mart calibers; 06, .243, .308, instead of something out of ordinary.  You can't compare a .44 or whatever with a Savage in .270, so the buyer will go with what seems "normal", the bolt.
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not watching you
