    Manners Stocks mini Gen1 vs Gen2

    That's good to know, and thanks to those who took time to put up pictures. I'm nearing the breaking point on ordering a Manners stock rather than researching them. Is there any reason to consider the Gen 1 over the Gen 2 on a new build?

    Astronomy telescope question

    When multiple people are viewing I prefer wide field of view and lower power. With a high-power telescope it becomes a chore to keep the object in the field of view for long enough. You might sell your current spotter and upgrade rather than having two separate units. Congrats on your new...

    Tech upgrade: Remote control fart machine

    ... and don't rely on the cell phone version because if the grid goes down you won't have your fart machine.

    Tech upgrade: Remote control fart machine

    Mine came up missing for several years and I found it again one day stuffed waaaay back in a drawer. With great joy I ran downstairs to my two friends who were visiting with the great news. When I explained that I had lost it and just found it again after all these years, the sensible one (the...

    Cross Country Drive Coming Up - Recommendations for stops/sites?

    Hit the Upper Yough in Friendsville, MD while you're at it! It's some world-class whitewater, and it's relatively safe. Precision Rafting is a really tight organization.

    Steel Target Stand Recommendations

    I've settled on the following... Start with two ~8 ft lengths of rebar. Heat a short section with a torch to make a sharp bend. Cut two short lengths of rebar to weld across the sharp bend on the inside of the bend. Those are the legs of a stand. For the cross member (to hang the target...

    Morels

    I've never had enough morels to preserve, but I bring chanterelles in by the backpack load later in the year. Kifaru is the best tactical mushroom gathering pack, in case anyone wants to know, haha. They're good dried, but most I 1/2 cook in olive oil then freeze in ziplocs. Anyone try that...

    Oil Prices ?????????

    Help me out here. If money were worthless, wouldn't that mean that it would cost millions of dollars to buy a barrel of oil. If each individual dollar is worthless, it would take millions of them to equal the value of a barrel of oil. This looks to me like the opposite extreme as far as money...

    10 day wait now 13+ in CA

    Nice job supporting the local economy! I supported mine today as well. The FFL closed shop for a while, but he still handled my transfer. He tried the internet first, it failed, I got nervous. He picked up the phone and I was on my way with the new toy in about 20 minutes.

    Anyone From Roanoke VA Area Know a Good Traffic Lawyer

    I honestly didn't realize it was even a big deal to be going that fast. I usually set the cruise at 78 or 79 during my commute on the interstate. Sometimes a handful of cars will get some kind of ridiculous pack mentality going, and they want to speed up, slow down, speed up all together...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Benelli M2 vs beretta 1301

    I love my M2 and have never owned a 1301. Over the course of a few thousand various rounds it failed to cycle one time. That was after I Dremeled some metal from the loading port the night before a match and didn't bother to clean the metal shavings out. Dumbass, I know, but it was late. A...

    Bringing manufacturing back to the USA

    Theis, Could you explain that picture? I've been at the confluence of a creek and a river when one watershed got hammered with rain and the other didn't. It looks like that even in beautiful WV because of sediment. Your picture and the reference to jeans suggests that's dye in the water. Is...

    Fieldcraft HAM Help

    Thanks to both of you for the advice. My plan, and please let me know if you think I should do otherwise, is as follows. I'll learn the theory behind the dipole antenna. I can't not do that now that the surface has been scratched. At the same time, I'll move forward and encourage my mom to...

    Fieldcraft HAM Help

    I'd be very grateful if some HAM-oriented people could give this a read. My goal is to maintain communications with my mom. She's fiercely independent and tough, but you know... Gotta' look after mom! We're rural, and the phones are not always reliable. According to the topo she's two miles...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Your Favorite Current Production .357 Magnum Revolver

    If you have a local FFL willing to do the transfer you may not need to wait for the virus to run its course. I recently picked up a nice (to me) 1911 at fire sale pricing, and I think it's because gun stores were closing down at the time. Less people having access to FFLs meant less people...
