    Which Fix-it-stick kit?

    I have the top kit (photo at start of thread) with a few extra pieces in my range bag. While all of my checking and torquing is done at home with other wrenches, the kit is in the pack just in case something comes loose while out shooting so the variable torque head is plenty to finish out the...

    Not in those rifles. I have shot MBs out of other folks rifles but the twist rate is so slow on mine that round ball is the best option. I would give them a try in a 1-48 as that will handle both OK but if I was only shooting MBs, I would be looking at a 1-32 or faster twist rate as that seems...

    Always room in a collection for some black powder rifles. I have a Hawken and a Tryon, both in maple, .54 caliber with a 1 in 66 twist and all I shoot out of them are round ball.

    Need replacement bumper

    Looks like you have a summit so a legend would have reduced the damage a bit. Difficult to find a massive bumper for smaller trucks unless you get it custom made. No bumper is going to take a direct hit with anything heavy like a vehicle and not do damage to your vehicle. If you hit a vehicle...

    Real safe recommendations

    A perfect example of my point. A CFX703620 will cost you 20k, it weighs 4,500 pounds so you are very limited in where it can go. The safe only provides 29 cubic feet of storage, that’s very small. Fine for jewelry and cash and a pistol or two but if you have a number of rifles and other routine...

    Real safe recommendations

    Finding a TL rated safe that size is going to be difficult and if you do, it will be very heavy, very expensive, and have limited room on the inside. Everyone always claims “real safe” but TL rated safes are just too small. If you have a decent size firearm collection, along with other stuff you...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Had an incident like that once on a carrier. Guy pulled out a knife and started cutting people on the liberty boat while it was heading back to the ship. They brought the guy down to medical and while he was sitting out in the passage way, the XO shows up and the guy starts screaming FU XO. A...

    Reloading bench surface

    The tops of mine are nice plywood but I put a 3/8” thick rubber mat on the top of each one. I ordered it off Amazon and has held up great, no issues at all. I have the one with 10% blue flake in it.

    I cant be the only one that likes MRE

    I liked chicken salsa and the fettuccine was not bad. The peanut butter would bind you up but as long as you drank plenty of water, you would be OK. I use to save the fruit pouches when I was inconus as my dad (Korean War vet) always liked them.

    But for medical folks and your insurance company, they don’t care why you are outside of the acceptable range, only that you are above “normal” so you present an increased medical risk. I spent a large part of my life in the gym but when I had my latest surgery last September, I had to get the...

    When they use a chart like this, most folks are above normal. I’m 72” tall but have not been 177 pounds since 10th grade. Granted, there are many folks that are way over weight but they should stop using this chart for overall health and fitness level.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    The main shelfs are large enough for most things. Here is an example of the size of the shelf

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    I found it on Global Industrial https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/storage-cabinet-with-shelving-doors-interior They also sell it on Amazon but it’s not assembled and costs more. I had some gift cards so I bought mine off Amazon. Also, you can’t return an assembled cabinet if you order from...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Put together a new storage locker for reloading stuff. My 18-section gym locker was getting a bit full so I needed the additional space. I’ll fill it up later today and see how it goes.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I need a revolver

    .44 Special. Unfired and built in 1978. I picked it up from a collector a few years ago.
