No I didn't. I still hope to get to it one day but it just ended up lower priority than I had hoped. I am happy to wait patiently though. I still think about it and browse potential components for the build once in awhile.
Sorry to hear of your loss Guy, but glad that you have some fond memories to reflect on as well. I'm sure we could use more men like him today. In my young adulthood, I look to the great men of yesterday for the encouragement I need to be a good man myself.
"For lives that passed us by
For love and it's last cry
For the ones we have left behind
For a close friendship's end
For how this kinship is rent
For the ones we won't see again"
These are the first words of the first song I ever wrote, and they seemed applicable. God bless America.
"It is...
You are not wrong in saying that the Democratic party is Communist, or if we want to get to the only point of any relevance, they are just as bad and just as corrupt. I don't really care what we call them in the end, just that we recognize that they are not in any way attempting to support the...
I have to say that my views are conflicted in today's world. I believe in the methods we used to gain independence from England, and I do not see how the passage of time could change the necessity of those methods. However, I feel we don't have the numbers to support that way of thinking any...
I feel I've let my emotions get the better of me. This probably is not the place for these kinds of statements as they do little good and are fairly lacking context of the bigger picture.
As far as the goal, to me we are to be free to make our own decisions, about religion, health, and money, and that we be free to bear weapons to defend ourselves from any foreign or domestic threat, including and in fact especially our own corrupt government.
I cannot give an overall good view...
It may or may not become a civil war, it is hard to tell, but in my opinion, that would be far better than surrendering to tyranny. I don't know that we have the numbers to actually make corrupt government take notice, and if we do, whether or not they will try to fight us, but we are going to...
I feel that at this point we must be prepared to draw a line in the sand and let all those who would attempt to take our freedoms know that we are willing to use lethal force to protect ourselves. We need to start making a movement with like minded people. No more sugar coating, if the...
True that!
Interesting that the Vanguards make contact with the barrel. Nowadays I pretty much assume everybody has everything free floated. The only gun I have ever heard someone say might benefit from having the barrel in contact with the stock is an M-14.
Such words have been burned into my heart and mind as a student of history. I am an admirer of the spirit that filled such men as Samuel Adams, George Washington, Patrick Henry, John Adams, and despite my misgivings toward him, even Thomas Jefferson. They were all fallible men, but they were...
Wow.
Scary thing just happened in my front yard this evening. At my new house there is a fairly active road with people driving by throughout the day. My front yard goes right up to the road, but there is a steep hill about five feet high where the road sets above the level of the yard. On the...
Ah OK, for some reason I assumed that the old stock had been wood and wondered what would have made her want to switch back. I really love the quality Boyds provides at their price range. Needing to save weight makes sense though.
