    Suppressors Class 3 dealer in Louisiana? Guy I used to use no longer does them

    I have one in jail now with a guy in Sulphur who is "hooked up" with Silencer Shop as a partner/transfer person. I don't know how it works bus SS seems to have it figured out for a painless process. (LLC purchase)

    HELP!!! Cannon Safe WON'T UNLOCK!!!

    My Cannon safe would NOT lock a few weeks ago. I called Cannon (sounded like scripted overseas CS) and after about 2 minutes of her not understanding English and this problem not being in her data bank I hung up. The next day it finally LOCKED. You get what you pay for I guess. 20"x40"x5' FWIW

    Reloading room suggestions?

    I've got two 6' benches from Sam's Club. Yes, this is phase 2 (two kids means my chit got moved out of house) I built phase 1 (20x40) two years ago. I was thinking T8's for commonality with rest of shop? Will they affect Pact dispenser and scale (or is that like cell phone usage at gas pump...

    Reloading room suggestions?

    I've got an 11x13 room inside of a 20x40 shop I built. Any suggestions on cooling this area in a La. summer? I've got outlets above safe height and down low, air will be piped in from compressor, and 200A breaker box is inside the room for power. Do you guys prefer open shelves above...

    Hunting & Fishing Jon Boat for electric only lake questions:

    Re: Jon Boat for electric only lake questions: After using a 1548v w/ 25hp for a few seasons now duck hunting and running hoop nets, width is more important than length. Be very aware of the lack of stability with 32"/36" bottom boats. As a kid I tipped water more than once in a tiny...

    Jonsered Chainsaw?

    Re: Jonsered Chainsaw? I will add this, whatever you buy try to stay away from a box store. A dealer can advise you on a model to fit your needs (consumer/medium/pro) AND clean the carb in a year when it's gummed up from sitting in the shop. I personally own Stihl (MS440, MS192, HT101...

    Gunsmithing order a new stock or make one work??

    Re: order a new stock or make one work?? McMillan can open it up for you in less than 4-5 months. I had them reinlet for a different DBM and it took a few weeks. Call them for current lead times. I didn't trust myself with a dremel.

    Rifle Scopes NPR2 Too Coarse For Ranging Newbie?

    Re: NPR2 Too Coarse For Ranging Newbie? I had the NP-R2 before the NP-R1 came out. One class at Badlands taught me that ranging horizontal with 5 MOA marks is POOP! "Why didn't you range vertically with the 2 MOA marks?" Because you could only see the top half of the iron maidens, the...

    2012 Louisiana Tac./Prec. Rifle Match, Shreveport

    Re: 2012 Louisiana Tac./Prec. Rifle Match, Shrevep I want to wish all the competitors good luck! I would be there but the wife is out of state so I get to baby sit this weekend. FYI, the "red bugs" and ticks have been in full force for the past month so spray down, I'm sure Matchking can...

    Rem 40x

    Re: Rem 40x Yeah, it's Kiff's. I think he's got 3 different styles. I liked the tactical knob, but it wasn't swept back like the Remmy style. I've got this HB and my dad has the HB and USMC (he always tries to "one-up" me). I hope this thing is a shooter! It wouldn't make a true...

    Rem 40x

    I've wanted one of these for a while and the opportunity presented itself for a barreled action (no bolt) a month or so ago. My question is, should the bolt shroud be turned another revolution or so? My dad ordered 3 of these and all of them looked identical to this one. The bolt functions...

    Fieldcraft What kind of GPS device do you prefer...?

    Re: What kind of GPS device do you prefer...? The OP mentioned navigating public/private boundaries, not going to war or anything. 1) Trimble has a handy little app for Iphones that with a touch of a button can switch from an arial photo to a quadrangle map. I haven't researched to see if...

    A CMP 40x 22lr "simple" build - What do you need?

    Re: A CMP 40x 22lr "simple" build - What do you need? Yeah, they told me 6-8 weeks on a bolt, but I just read that midway now has them for $50 more. I'll make a decision by Monday. I still have a few parts to get so I'm not in a huge hurry. My dad just got his USMC 40X from the CMP the...
