Anyone live within gated property? How to handle Fedex/UPS deliveries?

I reccently fenced, and gated my property. Gate at the main road. Semi rural area. I'd like to keep the gate closed while I'm away. Gate is controled by remote, no keypad. Fence is just 4ft black chain link.
Trying to think of a solution for deliveries when I'm not there. I've seen some people place a large, plastic "drop box" on the inside of the fence, where the driver can just drop the delivery over, and in the box.

Thoughts?

Need help identifying a 22lr please…

A guy I work with asked me to get this pump 22lr working, it had been disassembled years ago and came to me in pieces. He said a family member “made” the rifle. It looks like a kit or something to me, but maybe it is a production rifle. There are only two marks on the rifle total (shown in the pics): left side of the receiver and under side of the tang.

I have the rifle functioning properly now less a hammer spring, which is what I am trying to figure out now. Here is what I know about the rifle:
-pump action that has a lock on the pump link (basically a wedge that rotates out against the receiver when the action is fully closed) in conjunction with a in line bar lock on the same pump link that is unlocked when the trigger is pulled to the rear (this is inside of the receiver)
-it uses a floating firing pin that the hammer directly hits
-I am only guessing it is a 22lr as opposed to a short or something else, but it is definitely a rimfire

Here are a few pics of it:

This is the back of the hammer, the cut out on the left side of the hammer is where I assume the hammer spring should go.

Cam over or free float? Redding Type S full length sizing die

I am getting ready to setup a Redding Type S full length sizing die for a 300PRC. I do have (and will be using if necessary) the competition shell holders for the 300 PRC.

My question is… is it ideal to setup the die so that it free floats a bit?... or is best to setup the die so that there is a slight amount of cam over?

I have watched multiple vidoes, I have read the instructions that came with the Redding dies, and looked at multiple forums & it seems split as to whether to free float or have a slight amount of cam over on the sizing die.

America, piece by piece



The wife and I experienced this first hand. We were looking at a huge Alfalfa farm in Montana, we made an offer (the sellers asking price) and were in the beginning stages of purchasing when the realtor notified us that a "chinese company" bought it for cash out from under us. They apparently paid quite a bit more than the asking price, the realtor was PISSED. He wanted us to sue them for breach of contract but they returned our earnest money so we let it go.

"The Poor's" Welcome You.......

There are day's when admitting you are Poor is like wearing a "Badge of Courage".
Last year my fixed income allowed me to live "Paycheck to Paycheck". This year, due to inflation, some things now have to be dropped from my routine purchases. Life has kicked me around. I see the recession as nothing more than a challenge. Look at the challenges those that settled America faced in comparison to out daily challenges in 2022.

I like to stay warm during these Montana winters. I've hauled 3 loads of wood I can burn in my wood stove. It was free, not prime firewood that is selling for $250 / cord. Welcome to the "Poor's".
EDIT: $275 / cord

What do you think about this chamber and rifling *borescope vid*

This is a borescope vid I shot of one of my AR barrels. The barrel is 16” in length, has a 5.56 chamber, 1-7 twist, and is chrome lined. It has ~150 rds through it. This is a factory upper from a reputable manufacturer. I’d just like some opinions on the current state of the chamber and rifling based on the low round count (150 rds). I’m not having any issues whatsoever with the rifle.

I want to sue a man for my pregnancy-OHIO law proposed

Now they want pre-divorce/fuck-payments (pre-child support pymt)) for Raw-Dogging. I swear there is no accountability today for chicks.

"Sen. Tina Maharath (D-Canal Winchester) said her bill would allow anyone who becomes pregnant to file a civil suit against the person who impregnated them — even if it happened as a result of consensual sex"

Department of energy purchased 50k$ of m16’s

I’m not sure if it’s even possible to justify why a department which in the past has been exclusively a agency that deals with regulatory issues would need this many firearms, it’s fairly obvious the government intends to arm itself in every instance while disarming it’s citizens. Rather ironic considering the mantra “you don’t need a ar”, but evidently people that have no official government use for them do.

Open invitation to Wade2Big

Since @wade2big seems to think that our form of government is oppressive and tyrannical but never seems to put forth a coherent vision of what an acceptable form of governance is, this thread is an open invitation for him to describe/design what kind of government would be acceptable to him.

Wade, the floor is yours.......you can write as much as you want.

Dems using all 600 fed agencies to rig elections

Scumbag traitors Biden and dems ordered all 600 federal agencies to come up with plans to 'expand voting' so dems can steal more elections or at least reduce their losses. FOIA requests are illegally being ignored, demands from Repub senators and congressmen are being ignored:
