    The firearms related subject areas show almost no enthusiasm anymore. Only the cracker barrel and political b*tching pages show any real juice. I'm putting together another M1903 parts gun on a HN action and a decent SA scant stock I found in my pile. I think I got it from DuPage years ago. I have a HS replacement barrel I'll put on it that may or may not be a take-off but either way looks and gauges about new. I'll post it somewhere when I get it done but not here because no one will see it and if anyone does, no one will give a crap because they've seen a million like it already.

    After the 2016 election, I think it was DT who posted a "where's togor?" thread. I think the intent was to have a punching bag to celebrate over. As I said, I was disappointed to see Trump elected--and yes I'm saying a GOP Congress constraining a center left Hillary with both branches following the law would have been in hindsight a better run government--but I wasn't going to whine about it. Nor would I put the Trump blinders on, and I haven't.

    So the argument is that togor took on all comers and won? Thereby ruining this forum? If that is true, then maybe that just proves that Trumpism is really is BS after all and useless in a fight.

    OR, maybe the racism got out of hand and SysAd had to clamp down. Or, maybe the one guy who likes to call people the worst names he can type has something to do with it. Or maybe Lyman comes along to try to mod this place like other forums, and people decide that learning how to write posts differently isn't worth the payoff. Or maybe after awhile posting memes about Michelle Obama loses its sizzle.

    Trump fatigue can't be ruled out. Three years ago it went straight from his Twitter feed to a post here. Not so much anymore. Now no one wants to talk about the way he sucks up to the Saudis for example while their poorly screened military personnel shoot our guys up on their own base.

    Major Culver's statement said "The gloves are off! If you can't take it, don't come in!". SysAd amended the first part of that, but the second, to my knowledge, remains in effect. Once upon a time, Conservatives weren't afraid of competition of ideas. A lot of people who came through here over the years, they talk and think like the blue collar Democrats of my youth. They say they are conservative now, but really it's just a tribal affiliation, and they don't have the first clue about what conservatism as a movement is all about.

    Damn I miss Geoffrey. He wouldn't have put up with this. I also liked JOTD from BTBM. Things change, I guess.

      funny you complain so much about Trump and corruption/person gain, yet think Hillary would have been a good president,


      she has been a failure at everything she has done, and is one of the most corrupt people in politics,

      I was not here much after the 2nd or 3rd hack/reconstruct/whatever, and when I did visit , I surfed a few of the firearms sections and moved on,

      too much ranting and raving by a select few ,

      at the time I was running a store in the hood, and after dealing with loud obnoxious and sometimes ignorant folk for 10-12hrs a day, reading that crap trying to relax and surf a forum was too much like being back at work

      I miss Terry's posts, esp when he found a nice rifle and took pics of it on a stool in his yard,

      and of course Goo, and a few others,


      I did meet a member here last month, he offered me a rifle that was posted in the for sale section at a gunshow, come to find out I had been dealing with a member for years and did not know it,

        See there, Togor, you can respond without the heavy sarcasm and name calling like Red and Trax. I don't believe the conseratives are afraid of different ideas. Those holding them, under assault, tend to dig in, and communication ceases and degenerates into a pig wallow. Non judgemental exchange is the Eucledian ideal.....but, here,....here come da judge, here come da judge...

        I have read your posts in the other threads; I'm not sure if you have posted about your Springfield build or not because I haven't read the 1903 and M1 forums in a long time. They don't remotely sound like you on this forum. I'm not calling out anybody, I just wish the pigeon food here in 2nd A would dry up.

          Hillary would have been a boon to this forum. And there is nothing in her bio to suggest she would try to circumvent Congress the way Trump does. From a 2A perspective, don't forget what happened to those bump stocks bought in the Obama years. The economy is busy right now, but the deficit is ballooning--the one area where a spendthrift Democratic House and Trump get along.

                Center-left Hillary? Please put down the mushrooms, meth, or whatever and go check yourself into rehab.

                    I would think if you ranked the 2016 or 2020 candidates on that side it would be obvious. What's the problem?

                      Main Street saw the potential of Hillary as BHO's 3rd term. They see her has the devil incarnate. Nothing to figure out.

                          Hillary's foreign policy is much more Republican than Trump's. Yes I know, cue the wailing chorus about too many "RINO's" in the Senate. But Trump's fondness for dictators, either elected or not, hasn't really translated into real gains for the country.

                          Lyman if not mistaken, the citizens of the Commonwealth are looking at the possibility of Militia and Assault Weapons legislation. On the one hand, some Democrats are not wasting any time now that they finally have all branches of state government. On the other hand, if those bills don't become law, it will be as a result of some Democrats not supporting them.

                          This thread as I understand it, is a lament that the forum isn't ideologically pure enough. Kind of like a "Woman and Minorities Studies" class at UC-Berkeley, where only gender-neutral language is allowed in lecture and class discussion. Hint, guys: if it's silly there (and it is), then it's silly here too.
