Compared to an Avalanche that belongs to a buddy of mine the Ram definitely rides more like a truck than the Chevy. But the Chevy is flat out weak compared to the power of the Hemi. This truck is a hot rod, it's a lot of fun to drive. This is my third Ram in 10 years with an F250 diesel and Toyota Tacoma stuck in the middle somewhere. This is by far the best truck I've owned.

Thanks Madcat. It's still in great shape, maybe just a few more miles since you last saw it.

For sale is an excellent condition, well maintained, and EXCEPTIONALLY EQUIPPED 09 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Sport and technology packages. 66K miles. Powered by a 5.7L Hemi. This is a very unique truck in its equipped options. It took me a long time to find a truck this well-equipped, so I can guarantee the buyer won't be disappointed. Includes pw/pl, power adjustable front seats and mirrors, leather throughout, front seats are heated and COOLED, heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, dual climate control, keyless entry with remote start, navigation, AWD/4WD, backup/parking sensors, fog lights, 20" wheels, multiple displacement system, power slider rear window, sunroof, adjustable pedals, tilt steering wheel, cruise, Uconnect blue tooth, media controls on steering wheel, Mopar running boards and bedliner, tow package including a Tekonsha brake controller and inner coil air bags to prevent rear end sagging when loaded with cargo.

All scheduled maintenance has been performed, truck has been very well maintained. I'll provide records of maintenance along with all the original manuals and spare key. Tires have approximately 20k miles on them, battery is brand new. This truck is a hot rod, tons of power, rides very nice and runs great. I'm selling because of a new job with a longer commute.

This rifle can now be seen in Dale's shop. It can be owned for the price of $1200.

Guns are bad. You'll shoot your eye out kid.

I picked up this rifle thinking I might get into some service rifle matches. I shot it once and it's sat untouched for almost a year. The lower is a Rock River NM A2 lower with NM 2-stage trigger and an A2 buttstock. Upper is factory Rock River NM A4 upper with match sights (0.40"), stainless heavy barrel, chromed BCG. Has the Wylde chamber so you can safely shoot whatever flavor of .223 or 5.56 your heart desires. Literally have 50 rounds through it, comes with a 10 rd mag and I have a ton of surplus 30 rd mags that I can offer up to the buyer as well. http://rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=226 Looking to get $1250 for it, which is pretty firm considering what I've got in it. If you're interested send an email to my OR username @ yahoo.com. Pics available upon request.

I believe this applies to rifles only, not handguns. I'd start here www.atf.gov

This thread fails.

Seriously dude, take a breath. It's just a discussion, name calling and telling people to f-off just makes you sound like James Yeager, which by the way isn't a good thing. And explain to me how someone was "effectively concealing" if his piece was visible in plain site?

Cabelas brick and mortar store, not Cabelas.com.

Thanks folks for the recommendations. Looks like there's some good options out there.

As stated, haz mat fee of $27 for a max shipment of 50 lbs, meaning whether you by 1 lb of material or 50 lbs you are paying a $27 fee on top of regular shipping charges. Also, given currently supply issues they aren't selling 8 lbs jugs of powder, you're stuck buying only 1 lb cans. You used to be able to save $50-60 by going with the 8 lb'ers versus 8 x 1 lb cans. I haven't seen an 8 lb can of anything other than shotgun powder in months.

Might look at picking up a tumbler for his brass. Lots of options for under $100 and he can't start that process even before he's deprimed a single case.

Evidently my response wasn't the repsonse you wanted to hear. I've had this same conversation with at least 3 friends of mine since the most recent dry up of ammo. They thought reloading would be an option to solve all of their ammo supply problems. What they've learned is that now instead spending all their time to find in-stock ammo they are now spending four times as much time trying to track down in-stock brass, in-stock bullets, in-stock primers, and in-stock powder, the last two aren't cost-effective to ship due to haz mat fees, which means you HAVE to find them in a store which isn't always an easy thing to do. During normal supply conditions reloading 9mm might save you a couple cents per round, not counting the equipment costs. So if you just paid double the normal cost for any one single component you will actually be paying more to reload than if you bought manufactured ammo, which didn't cost you any time either by the way. I'm just giving you the other side of the coin. What you choose to do with the advice is up to you.

I don't think its been mentioned yet, but if your desire to start reloading is soley based on the current supply situation with manufactured ammo I would suggest you reconsider. The supply situation for ammo components (brass, bullets, powder, primiers) is just as bleak as manufactured ammo. To get started in reloading one caliber you're going to have to lay out around $1000 worth of equipment and consumables including the press itself. Add another couple hundred for each additional caliber, assuming you can't use any of the same components. For pistol you might not need all that, but once you start with pistol why wouldn't start loading for your rifles too? It's hard to make a case that an initial investment of $1000 to get you started is going to save you money, especially at a time like this when shops are expecting a premium for hard to find components. This doesn't at all take in to the cost of time required to reload. Pistol loading isn't as bad, but reloading for tapered neck rifle cases is very time consuming in regards to case prep and trimming. If you really enjoy it then I guess it's fun, but having to trim 1000 x 5.56 cases not only takes a couple days, it can also be maddening, unless of course you're willing to spend even more money on an expensive case trimmer. In my experience, the decision to reload was based on a couple factors: 1. Better quality ammo for long range rifle - even a novice handloader can exceed the quality of manufactured match ammo. 2. Maintain Supply of ammo during ammo shortages, or for hard to find calibers (ex. M2 Ball spec Garand Ammo) 3. Ability to customize ammo properties based on need - plinking vs precision, bullet weight vs powder charge, cartridge properties specific to the chamber of a particular gun. 4. Reduce cost of ammo, understanding that it will take years to realize any sort of savings. The exception is probably competitive pistol shooters. They really don't have much choice, as most mortals have to reload to be able to afford to shoot 500+ rds of .45 ACP every shooting session. 5. I like all things gun so loading my own ammo was a natural leap to make. Can you get started for less than $1000? Maybe, there's definitely cheaper ways to go about it, especially if it's just pistol. But your savings on 9mm vs what you can are going to be minor (based on normal prices and availability). But what you save in $$$ you'll more than spend in time. The tools that you have can greatly reduce the time it takes, for example measuring a powder charge by trickle vs an auto-scale like an RCBS. You might not buy the $280 auto-scale up front, but you will buy it eventually, probably after you realize you only loaded 20 rounds of 5.56 in an hour.

Looking for a new pack that I can use at the range and shooting comps but can also wear on the bike to haul my laptop to and from work. Needs to have a waste belt but the pack can't be too big. Something with something water resistant would be nice too, but not critical. Anything out there that can do all this?

If you are set on a vice go with the tipton. If you might consider other things along the lines of reloading a goodvset of dial calipers or a good scale are also some ideas.

Your loss. Robert Farago speaks the truth on all things gun.

Not even in Colorado.... http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/05/robert-farago/jefferson-county-colorado-curtails-open-carry/

Very interested to know if this was posted as a gun-free zone. Also interested to know how many gun-carrying OR members would have told the guy to stop before they started shooting?

Very familiar with FFF, just don't feel like driving an 1.5 hrs to find that they don't have any. If anyone has any local (Cbus) and is in need of something else let me know.

I'm in need of large pistol primers. These are pretty hard to find right now. I have plenty of small pistol, small pistol magnum, small rifle, and large rifle primers I'd be willing to trade 1000/1000.Send me a pm if you're interested in a trade. thanks

I hope you aren't basing your opinions just on what is going on in Ohio. This is what arguments for gun rights are looking like in other parts of the country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79o2zDv7WuA

I personally don't think this means what you think it means. Maybe this is a battle that needs to happen (again), but all these Youtubes of people baiting the cops to argue constitutional rights are certainly accomplishing a goal of creating more awareness regarding the laws around the rights to carry, search and seizure, etc. But I think the general public are going to land on the other side of the fence, stating that they can't believe it's legal to walk around openly carrying a gun, including fully loaded "assault" rifles. I think the only reason they don't know is because it doesn't happen very often. The problem here is that most non-gun owning individuals (notice I said non-gun, not anti-gun) would think an individual walking down the street with a rifle on his back is a potential threat. I know I would, and I'm really really pro-gun. So these people call the cops, and then later find out that the person wasn't acting illegally, to the shock of the people calling the police. Now imagine this scenario happening more and more in our current anti-gun climate, and here comes the anti-gunners touting a new "common sense" measure that people shouldn't be allowed to walk down the street openly carring a gun. My perception is that most Americans would agree that this should not be legal, as it is impossible to determine an armed individual's intent, creates panic, blah blah blah. My perception, and it could be wrong, but I doubt it, is that the general public would agree that open carry should NOT be legal. The only reason that it is still legal is due to the lack of awareness. Whether or not it remains legal after people become more aware is yet to be seen.
