I had a buddy in NC who had the same truck... But in blue. He got rearended something like 5 times in it. And every time, got an insurance settlement that was 5x more than it cost us to fix the back of his truck with cheap-assed parts.

I told him to put a switch on the brake lights so he could turn them off and get rearended more. Because after the 2nd rearend, his truck was paid for. After the 5th, it was the downpayment on his second house, which he rented out! Paul, if you are out there.. you are probably still driving that truck and your Supra!

Those truck are un-killable!

Cheers,

Technically, the Jews invented Blue Jeans... Levi and Strauss were both Red Sea Pedestrians who went to get rich in hardware and banking during the gold rush.

The miners didn't get rich... the guys who sold tools and jeans did.

Of course, the Negroes did pick the cotton! So there is that!

having to beat the crap out of the cases post-tumbling has noticeably shrunk my average SDs

If you're having to 'beat the crap' out of your cases post tumbling with rice, you're doing something wrong - like the wrong grain size of rice. Smaller, shorter grains work better and come out pretty much just like corn/walnut, with a regular rotary media separator. The 'milled' stuff that Primal Rights sells works even better in that regard, but holy f$ck it's pricey. I tried one bag just to see how it worked; afterwards I went down to the local Ace hardware and got a hand-cranked grain mill. Plan is to try milling my own next time from cheap, locally available rice (ie Costco/Walmart/grocery store). Guess we'll see if that works as expected.

Otherwise, yeah, I do agree that corn cob is pretty goof-proof. Just dustier than I care for. But it does get the cases oh-so shiny

That was interesting. A trivia note.

Levi Strauss initially used sailcloth to make some of the earliest versions of their iconic work pants. Specifically, they used a sturdy brown canvas, often referred to as duck cloth, that was originally intended for making tents and wagon covers, according to Eric Musgrave. This canvas was then transformed into waist-high overalls or "pantaloons" for miners during the Gold Rush era. Later, Levi Strauss switched to denim, which is the fabric most commonly associated with their jeans today.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Early use of sailcloth:
  Levi Strauss & Co. initially used brown canvas, a type of sailcloth, to make the first work pants for miners.
  
  
• The switch to denim:
  Around 1860, Levi Strauss began using denim, a twilled cotton cloth, for their pants.
  
  
• "Duck" cloth:
  The early canvas used was also sometimes referred to as "duck" cloth, a heavy cotton canvas.
  
  
• From canvas to denim:
  The use of sailcloth was a temporary solution until denim became more readily available and a better fit for the evolving needs of the miners.

Just FYI MK11 RAS rail offerings from Centurion coming. Which might have me pivot my m110 build to a mk11 mod 1 just FDE it. I've got the MGL110, FH, Block, and suppressor pins.

I’m doing a mk11 mod 0 as soon as I can get my hands on one of these. This was always one of the biggest hurdles if you didn’t want to spend 1500-2000 on a rail. Great time to be alive!

Thanks for the replies. Biggest concern is a developer or flipper getting the inside track before me. I don’t grasp how owner doesn’t sell the minute the ship is going down and recoup what is owed plus. Comps are in the high 8’s

Dennis Tuellers research was first published in SWAT magazine in 1983. Safe to say his name is as familiar to present day shooters as Jack Weaver.

He was a Salt Lake PD sergeant. I know his nephew, and go shooting with him and his boys once in a while.
