Misc Firearms Crew XLIV: Buying more guns . . . and we'd run on 2nd & goal

[MoeBettuh]

RThoe is clearly suffering from assbergers and unable to tell whats going on.

On the real though, that shadow box looks like sht and I think it says alot about you in that you would rather pay michaels to botch that thing than for you to actually spend the time doing a pretty simple task.

What's wrong with u? Even if u did think it was ****ty (which I'm sure u don't)why would you personally attack someone about something that's obviously important to them on that kind of level?

I think it was an awesome gesture. Literally brings tears to my eyes and makes me think about my own grandpa. Don't be a kunt.

Looks good RThoe, What did your dad think?

[RThoe]

RThoe, clean out your inbox. You can keep the homo pics, but clean out a message or two.

Done babe

He's just a troll, like all the others we get. He rarely posts in here but when he does, he talks chit to people and this week alone there have been a few MFC members that have said they were negged by him.

[jason_bh]

Yeah, that was a pretty crappy thing to say about the shadow box.


Maybe MFC isn't the best place for Dirt.

To the question earlier about how short my case trimmer was taking my cases, here you go.

[veggie530]

Ryoing

If anyone is unaware, I had been in the process of putting together something in honor of my grandpa and his service as an infantryman in WW2 and Korea for a while. I was supposed to have it completed for Father's Day of last year. Quick note: never use Michael's for anything custom. They suck dick.

Cliffs of project

Grandpa is a huge reason why I join
He passes away while I'm in basic
After he passed, one of my dad's sisters ransacked the house and took all Army records
He barely talked about his time in either war
In recent years, I get more interested in his service and am determined to find the history
Discover there is a way to request documents
Takes a long time, but the Army sends my dad all records they have, along with the medals he was awarded
I begin the process of doing more research with this new info and find his unit and further history
Decide to make a shadowbox honoring him and begin looking for additional pieces to fit in it
Cox is a huge help and gets me genuine issued badges/medals/devices that are hard to find, wouldn't have been able to complete this without him
I take it to Michael's and they fuk it all up
Takes them several months from the initial day I brought it in to them fixing it (two separate modifications were required)
I'm finally able to return it to my dad (I brought him the original fuked up version since it was already shortly after father's day)
Forget to take a pic until now



Cool note about the small device under the CIB (second item down from the left). That's a genuine issued battalion crest of his batt that was made in the late 30s. They no longer make reproduction items of his battalion and I searched far and wide until finally stumbling across a military collector selling it. I was thrilled.

[IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/16k19ww.jp/IMG]

Oh yeah and they still fuked some stuff up. The area where the medals and chit are is supposed to be bigger so the items are a little more spread out. His major rank and the infantry crossed rifles were supposed to be closer to the name plate, and the small gold eagle pin above the major rank was supposed to be lower, next to his marksmanship badge. His Purple Heart is also fuked up. I may be OCD on it, but for what I paid I expected better. I will never use them again. My dad was thrilled though





ayy lmao



Go away troll. Negged



Trolls that neg MFC members usually are



Yup, he's lucky the dude didn't return fire faster. He thought one shot would do it (and in the long run it seemed like it did) but it's unlikely a single shot will be enough to eliminate the threat.

Awesome story.

Yeah, if someone has a gun and I know it, I'd like to thank I'd double tap no matter what. Reminded me of new boxers who land a jab and then stop their combo since they landed a hit.

[veggie530]

What value would you guys put on an unfired Bulgarian made Arsenal SA 93 with original blonde wood furniture (thumbhole stock)?

Speaking of landing a hit...did u get a haircut and off the beard?

[Ikeman83]

Michaels has done all the framing for our prints and did a great job, and they did a good job framing a Jersey a decade ago. I think that you might've run into someone who had no idea what they were doing. The Shadow Boxes on display at the craft stores in this area are awesome. Norfolk is also the biggest Navy base in the world, so that's a factor.


EDIT: Also, I think that your finished product turned out great. It blows that you had to provide the professionalism/expertise when you were paying them to provide that. It's an amazing gift for your dad.

I was in the service, I appreciate something like that more than you could understand. Truthfully I wasnt going to mention it till he started popping off.

If it were me I would have made the thing myself as it was something important. I wouldnt have went to hobby lobby and then bished about how shtty it looked as I posted it over and over.

Met halfway. Trimmed it down a lot.



Refuse to cut the length. Will re-decide each month what I want to do. I'll probably trim it to a point in the middle to look like a manlet viking.

The chitty thing is if you don't eliminate the threat, you may be eliminated. If you fire too many times, you may be charged. There's a fine line you have to walk under stress in these situations and either side results in two extremes. And the worst part of it is, you'll never know exactly how you will react until it happens.

Looks good RThoe, What did your dad think?

Thanks babe. He tried not showing emotion in front of me but I think he must have been cutting some onions

When guys were leaving my unit (mostly the leadership/good guys) most of the time the platoon would pitch in and we would have a shadow box made for them. One of my best friends left before I did and another buddy and I decided we were going to go cheap and try to do it ourselves. There was a place right off post that specialized in doing them but they charged quite a bit. We took a crack at it one weekend and it was pretty bad lol. Maybe we both just suck at things like that. After all, it would take me a few hours to do my Class As. We also knew what the shop's work would look like and in comparison our job was chit. We eventually caved and took it to them and they did an outstanding job. The shadow box they made for me was done at the shop too. I expected the same attention to detail from Michaels but as you said, the people there probably are inexperienced.

Everything about it is very professional, especially the framing and backing. The placement of some items is really the only thing they failed on. And thanks Ike

That's cool man, you are entitled to your opinion. However, ever since you started posting ITT recently, all you have done is troll and talk chit, popping up every now and then. You've also negged a few regulars in the past week. You flew under the radar initially since you aren't another fresh join date red but your colors have been shown for a while now.

[YourGunShowTix]

That's cool.
Both of my grandfathers were military, but I never got to meet them. My paternal grandfather was army, but they weren't that good about keeping records in Italy during WWII.

Yup. BRB Pharmacist can be charged because of that final shot even though his life was probably still in danger. It's scary and it's probably even worse in CA.

Given how you're acting like a complete jackass in this topic, I don't think emulating your behavior is worth it. I'm sorry that you received one of my random reps this AM. Tip of the fedora to you, m'lady, have a nice life. Thank you for your "service," whatever capacity it may have been in.

You know, its pretty fukn tacky of you to insult someone for putting together a project like this.

RTHoe, the shadowbox looks great, sorry for your loss too.

[ctprelude]

Has anyone in here actually heard of any case where someone was charged with murder or something similar due to the number of times they shot the person? As in a reasonable number let's say less than 8 times or something? It's one thing if it's to the point you're doing a mag change to put more rounds into them, or walking up to shoot them after they're already out of action, but I'm not sure I believe there would be some magic number to where they'd all of a sudden think you're guilty of something if you shot someone 6 times instead of 5. This is obviously all assuming it's a good shoot in the first place and not in one of the commie states with tard laws.

ive heard random horror stories, but they were always in liberal sh*tholes like MA/CT/NY/etc

all i know is that when my CHL finally gets processed and comes in, im signing up for Texas Law Shield for dat GOAT legal protection should the need ever arise

Thanks dudes

GST, your post is a bit confusing. Your grandpa fought for Italy during WW2 or fought in Italy? I'm assuming he fought in Italy. The military had a massive fire in their main service record storage warehouse back in the 50s I believe and lost a massive amount of records. His records could have been an unfortunate victim of the fire.

Do you know what unit he was with or anything? It took me a long time but I was able to track a lot of my grandpa's service history. I even found his name on a list of WIAs in his unit for his first Purple Heart.

There's no reasonable number for how many times you should shoot someone. One may be enough. Twenty may not be enough. You shoot until they are no longer a thread.

If it's a justified shoot, the number of times will not matter. They may try and bring that up, but there are countless police shootings that support the number of shots not mattering.

[jason_bh]

One of you *******s find me some statistics on robberies that end in violence.

[DualRectifier]

Yup. BRB Pharmacist can be charged because of that final shot even though his life was probably still in danger. It's scary and it's probably even worse in CA.

What I find weird in this situation is that the cops didn't arrest the pharmacist, but they forwarded the case to the prosecutor for final decision on whether to prosecute. There was absolutely no fukkin crime committed here at all. The pharmacist acted in clear self defense and defense of others. Nothing says the cops have to forward this case to prosecutors, they could have just let it go. If the prosecutor is an anti-gun, anti-self defense prick like so many are he can now drum up a case; especially now that the case has some publicity and he can get his name out there; which happens time and time again. There is absolutely no reason for the cops to forward this case to prosecutors. It's fishy as hell.

I agree. As long as they're still a threat, you shoot. I just think that whole thing is kind of one of those gun store myths and not something to legitimately think about in any type of real self defense shoot, again assuming you're not walking up to do an execution shot or anything while they're no longer a threat.
