Medicare Part D helps a lot. It's about $225 per month for each of us, but my wife's car was totaled and she had a 3 hour brain bleed operation. We never received a bill for medical expenses. We paid everything off before retirement, so SS covers us pretty nicely, even with hobbies. We both...

I have a valkyrie with a bull barrel, 2 Grendels (1 rifle, 1 carbine), 1 22 Nosler. I built them all, and I like them all for what they were intended.

1: It was 10 rounds leaning. The 25 yard range is the only range reasonably close, so I use what is available. 2. I was trying to help the previous poster. I reload every caliber I own except 22 and 32 rimfire. 3. Yes, I am 77, and I shoot every gun I build. All but one of my ARs are 80...

People will shoot and buy what they like. Market share will determine longevity.

I just tried using the seating die from the Redding Custom for 17-556 KAK on 5.56. Using the sizing die on the 5.56 cases, I was getting 50% crushed cases. Running them through the seating die, THEN the sizing die it worked 100% of the time. It leaves a little dimple on most shoulders, but...

I have reloading dies, powder, projectiles, etc., for every gun I own. As much as I spent building my Valkyrie, I will be shooting it, and so will my Son.

I built this using an 80% lower a few years ago when they first came out. I'm 77, so I think the rifle itself, can do better. 20" 1:7 .224 Valkyrie 10 rds @ 25 yds. Hornady 75gr ELD Match #22791 27.0 gr. Hodgdon CFE 223

Cool truck too!

You guys really are a special kind of stupid if you think I was an agent. I ain't that smart, but then, neither are you! #1 NOBODY should be STUPID enough to say ANYTHING on the INTERNET! I have a vested interest because any screw-up fucks with MY rights. #2 If I'm not a plant then IS...

Since I have learned my posts were of little consequence, I have taken the liberty of removing them. To all wanting to learn how to reload 8.6 BLK from 6.5 Creedmoor and buillding and using an annealer, or machining using a vertical mill, or MIG or TIG welding, perhaps armorpl8chikn can be of...

I was trying to find out the latest after Jim Jordan stopped questioning the ATF and went on to other projects. Thanks for asking.

I remember I was on stage in the Senior class play when I learned of the assassinatin. Another member whispered it in my ear and I couldn't believe it. Our class motto was "Ask Not...." When everything started going liberal, I became a Conservative and left Minnesota for Texas in 1965. I...

I filed a couple of Form 1s - VZ.61 and a 5.56 pistol. Dems were smart... Jim Jordan was kicking ass and taking names with the ATF, so they hauled Trump into court and got Jim Jordan to play Whack-A-Mole. Because of that, It looks like we are running out of time.
