Pouring a 30"×40" concrete pad on top of concrete floor?

I had a smaller dehumidifier which I thought was doing the job. It was in the other half of the basement by the drain. I immediately moved it next to my gun safes and in the 24 hours emptied a 3 gallon pail several times. Dropped from 76% to 50% overnight

With my bigger dehumidifier running where this one used to be I’ve only dumped maybe 3 gallons in the last few months from the one in the gun room.

Just food for thought before you make the move
Right about the moisture. Basements are notorious for that. Water makes mold.

Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)

Wasnt chatgpt, tried to write it professionally sorry you didnt like it, cant make everyone happy, the optics speak for themselves. Im currently ranked 2nd in the world in ELR light with the 5-32x56 Victory, and have nothing but top 5 finishes this year so far. We have a no BS warranty and better customer service than most companies and are here to take care of shooters. We try to put certificates on as many match tables as I can get ahold of or that will let us.
Wait, wait, wait... There is a lot of "We" here. You are part of Telson but didn't disclose that once in your review?

And I lean towards agreeing with Swanson here... that professional fluff means nothing. Koskin saying he knows the guys behind Telson means a helluva lot more than any of the generic messaging. Would love to know more about their backgrounds.

Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

“For any future support, we encourage you to contact your local Anderson dealer”.
LOL. Good luck with that!

Eh, that's really just a way of letting Anderson dealers which suddenly can't deal the product any longer remain a resource for their consumers. The vendors won't be able to provide warranty work or replacement Anderson parts, but they'll be able to provide service and parts from whatever other company for which they are or become vendors.

Mr Newton, "conspiracy theory" is a term used to denigrate someone. Who do you think came up with that nonsense, labelling critics and skeptics broadbrush?

I guess if you play a team sport, your "conspiracy theory" would negatively view team play? Working together, and individually, for a common goal?

Good gosh amighty, this is crazy stuff. Minimizing every opportunity. Is it because the extent of capture is hard to fathom?
(Oh brother), I'm not denigrating your theories, but that they're involve multiple people keeping the truth secret MAKES THEM A CONSPRIACY. The Kennedy Assassination WAS a conspiracy. There are many theories, and while the government may have used those words to denigrate people who didn't believe thier narrative, it's now common usage, and after covid I don't think there are many people who still believe what press agents put out. You don't have to be in The Unit to understand that.


Just as Social Security is not technically a Ponzi scheme, because everyone knows that it is a pyramid scheme and bankrupt, so to is a theory that requires the complicity of dozens or hundreds of individuals keeping something skeptical, mark me down in The Unit's ledger as being skeptical...unless, there would be a national security reason and the people would keep it secret out of a sense of duty or real fear of consequences, and I don't mean to all the criminals, but to all of us who, as you point out, had nothing to do with it.

Krg X-ray/bravo upgrade choice

If it's full arca do you really want a spigot though?

I have the Geissele mk18 rail rail and it's very uncomfortable to carry because the width of the hardguard is much narrower than your rail. The arca edges dig into the hand.

Sounds like a bitch I know but it's enough to make me reach for different rifles.

If the arca edges isn't the widest point the hand pressure is displaced to the actual handguard.

That's the kinda feedback I'm looking for on these 2.

It looks like the fore end is wider than ARCA in both options anyway. If the fore ends were longer, i wouldn't want a spigot. It looks like they are about 4" longer than standard bravo fore end which is probably close to how much the spigot extends in that application, so maybe i wouldn't care to add one? Standard Bravo fore end length is definitely too short to not have a spigot with full length arca for me.. I have a spigot on my OG MPA BA Comp and i like having the option to put the bipod that far forward.

Care to re-think yer actions ?
Must be about 10 years ago now, at our old house. My dog that just died of cancer a couple years ago. He hated fireworks and one morning after new years he kept coming and jumping in bed with us, wanting attention then jumping down and trotting out of the room. The third time I hear a noise💨 and splat💩. He made it through the hall around corner into the living room just past the floor heater. About 20% of that splat💩 went in the floor heater and it kicked on just as i walked out to see what the noise 💨and splat💩 were. He is looking all guilty, like sorry but I told ya. Some of the worst things are some of the funniest memories. 🤣🤣🤣 the smell, oh the smell. Even after all the cleaning for years the first time the heater was on for year you would get a hint of it. 💩

Indoctrination. Evolution of human farming that essentially through systemic approaches (destruction of family cell, education, meritocracy, values, morals etc.) created Nietzches “new man” or tried to (to be discovered very soon i guess).
Fact that there was a guy pimping underaged girls or boys to various people in power and no legal proceedings worse yet most brushing it off (not just politicians who got their dicks wet) speaks volumes of what we as society have become.

PS: Not to mention other stuff where we keep silent or do nothing.

Pouring a 30"×40" concrete pad on top of concrete floor?

Lot of good advice.

Not much to add, I would do this if it were mine.

1. make sure the top of the concrete form work is level. You don't want to fight the door one way or the other. (I'm sure you know this, it is something people overlook).

2. Know where the anchor points are in the safe, I'm hoping they are closer to the inside vs outside. Personally would run rebar along the of the vertical dowels, you intend on installing. You would want that to be outside the bolts to anchor the safe. If for some reason you are unable to achieve that, have the bolt ( especially wedge anchor). Installed in the original slab, that will help keep your new pad from braking.

FWIW

New from CO

Just now working on getting myself a competition rifle after many years of shooting. Hopefully going to be able to take advantage of some scope deals on here but it seems like I can't PM anyway so I'm a little dispirited. Especially after having to wait for mod approval already and the listing was taken down before my attempted contact went through. Can't say I feel welcome.

Why do you think such fight against release. Self delusion is one of the hardest things to overcome and on national level - borderline impossible. To truly comprehend the vile and gore of the elites one really needs a strong “conspiracy theory” mentality as real truth is much much worse than daily lie most tell themselves to be able to get up in the morning, go to work, have taxes deducted and be able to sleep at night. Most prefer lie its easier.

Not at all. 84-87 (SOC) never touched it.
87-91 (SAC) Never touched it.

Once SAC changed to ACC during the McPeak years, we had to start playing silly reindeer games.
Sad times...
Left Ellsworth in 95 and went to Mtn Home and had to play even more. Same with the year at Kunsan

I went back to Ellsworth in 2000.
I can't recall putting it on between then and '04 when I retired. Good times.

Once past the Carter years and we started training, I spent more time in MOPP 4 than I care to remember. I did pull a year with a staff job in 7th AF in Korea. Anytime a phase II was on the books, I scheduled a SAV at another location.
