Make a classic Philly Cheesesteak.
Stuff in yellow banana peppers, olives, and mushrooms.
Throw on some bacon. None of that Canadian shit.
Dredge that in beer-batter made with Amber Boch, or Shock Top.
Deep fry till GBD.
Serve with a Gatorbull to wash it down.
Genius Level Grub.
Dick’s Sporting Goods is pulling semi auto rifle sales.
Cheaper Than Dirt is suspending online gun sales, and have increased their prices to stupid levels. A P-Mag is now $59.99. Those price-gouging bastards!
I encourage everyone to give a big middle finger to Dick’s and CTD.
This is “The Green Marlin” which became the Cowboy Assault Rifle, or CAR-30-30, or Tactical Lever Action. It started out as a stock Marlin 336C which had some serious water damage to the stock that ruined the finish. I was going to do a John Deer logo on the side of it, but then I decided I hated that color. The gun its self though was straight up awesome. Barrel cut down to 16 on the dot, and an 11 Degree Target Crown and a 1 Piece firing pin and the Trigger Happy trigger from Wild West Guns. The result was a 30-30 that would print 1/2″ groups with LEVERevolution ammo.
This is what replaced my Crusader Modified Rock River… which no matter how good or accurate it was, it was too damned heavy. This is a very lightweight build that Gundoc tweaked for me. Slipstream treatment and a Battlecomp round out the details. Topped with an EOTech, to get on target fast. Accuracy is more than enough to make me laugh wickedly. Yeah, I’m not giving anything up on the Rock River’s accuracy.
Now, I’m holding a Rossi M92 in .44 Mag. And I do love the 92’s, the gun in the photo that brings this to the front of the pack, is the one Evil Jim is caressing. That’s his SBL. This is the .45-70 Thumper that forced me – FORCED ME – to buy a Guide Gun of my own. I don’t have a pic of me holding mine, so this one will do.
Notice that out of all these rifles in this post – most are Lever Actions. There’s a good reason for that. I love Lever Action Rifles. Especially one’s with some modern touches that enhance the Lever’s ability to hit – and knock the shit out of the target.
It was asked, “What is Crusader going to do if there is another Assault Weapons Ban and you can’t build AR’s anymore?” What will we do? We’ll do custom Lever Actions. I’m one of the few Trainers out there that actively train – an encourage – Lever Actions.
I’m pretty solidly on record for hating the Ford Focus. Since it first came out, they’ve just irritated me.
But now Ford has actually made a good one. I wouldn’t mind an ST at all. Just not in yellow. Make mine in Black, Silver, or Red, thanks.
Crusader Weaponry is mentioned in the January 2013 issue of AMERICAN RIFLEMAN in the article titled, “Don’t Fear The Darkness”. Specifically, the author took his Glock 34 with CW’s Edge package to the three-gun match.
Crusader Weaponry is heart broken over the tragic event in CT. Since the news broke, I’ve felt sick to my stomach over this, and have no been able to keep very much food down. Such a tragedy makes one evaluate a great many things. We wish there was something that we could do to help… but there is nothing that we could ever do that would bring back the lives of those slain by this insane inhuman monster.
The best we can do is to help minimize such events in the future.
Joe and I talked about this and made a commitment.
Any Teacher or School Administration with a CCW Permit can come to any of our Defensive Handgun courses free of charge. This is a $200 donation per head to the safety of our Children. If a School District so desires, Crusader will hold a special course for them, and if Travel is required, we only ask for enough to cover the cost of the travel.
We wish we could do more.
But we are committed to our believe that we need an Active Defense Measure in our Schools. We need our schools and other institutions to have people on staff at all times that are Trained and Armed and always vigilant. We can not Educate our Children if we can not Protect our Children.
When it comes to AR’s, don’t get caught up in the little things. It’s not about what you have on or in your AR. It’s about what you can do with it.
Imagine a simple tool belt, much like what any Handi-Man might have. A Hammer, Screw Drivers, a Saw, a Measuring Tape and a Pencil. It doesn’t matter what company these tools came from. You give them to a skilled man, he can build you whatever you need. A Shed, a Dog House… a set of cabinets. Fix a shelf. He will get the job done.
Give that same tool belt to one with no skills, and you will be lucky to get a Bird House out of him. He is not competent enough to take on the big projects. The quality of the tools, the perfection of the craftsmanship is lost on him. Even if he payed high dollars for the very best tools available.
What’s important about the Tools themselves… and we all get caught up in the tools… is that they work. You can argue Craftsman, Snap-On, or Stanley… The Contractor’s Client doesn’t care a bit about that. His concern is only the results.
When you seek to dress out your AR, make sure you are not just dressing it up. Putting on Bling for looks or to impress your friends is meaningless. Instead only worry about what you really need to get the job done. To know what you really need, you need to use some thought. Not just looking through a catalog or browsing the shelves at your LGS. Buy what’s going to help you use the tool. The AR-15 is just that, the simple tool. You can enhance it with some upgrades. Grips that allow your hand to fit better for better control… Stocks that fit you better… Optics that allow you to line up your target faster and more precisely.
Guys, don’t ask me what you need. Ask yourself. Go to the range, shoot and move, take a Tactical Carbine Course and see for yourself what it is that you need for you and your gun.
Okay, so the KTM is so far doing just fine in the snow. Save for the small “Endurance” LCD dash/trip computer… which died on me. So I have no speedo or Odometer… which is no big deal.
The bike handles as I expected it too in the snow, or even a little better. This is what I like about the KTM, the stability. Other bikes, when they lose traction, just seem to say “Oh to hell with it.” The KTM seems to fight to find traction anywhere. Standing on the pegs, you can just let the bike squirm around under you, hunting for some grip. The cold didn’t even bother me. Thanks to the combo of the moose-ears and the long johns, it’s not so bad.
This is a case of “If it’s stupid, but works, then it isn’t stupid.” It looks stupid. But it works. Very well. Normally on my ride to work I’ll lose feeling in my hands even before half way there. Now, it’s not a bother. The Moose Ears are actually my name for them… they are actually ATV Handlebar Mittens from an outfit called “Classic” that makes lots of ATV stuff. Never thought I’d buy anything from them, as I don’t have an ATV. But I was lookinat the ATV area of Basin Sports and was straightening things out there and I had this set that was the last pair and kinda in the way. I thought “Hell, I should just buy them to get rid of them.” And then I thought, “Hell yeah, I should buy them!” The Mittens look like Moose Ears, so that’s what I call them. They are a huge help. I’d rather have a set of Hippo Hands, as they are made for Motorcycles. These Classics are made for ATV’s. There is a difference. But the Moose Ears cost me 10 bucks, so I’ll call it good.
