Hide brain trust, I'm once again asking for your support... There's some good off-grid type solar setup threads here, but what I'm looking for right now is something to keep batteries, radios, phones, etc charged in the event of longish power outage. I'm guessing a 100W, maybe a couple of them...

Just a heads up.. Omaha outdoors is having a 48hr 50% off ETS magazine sale. Got their promo email and ordered. Coupon code is Transparent50. I'm not affiliated in any way, just passing on a good deal.

Has anyone ordered a Perst 4 since the whole Ukraine fiasco started? I was considering one but don't want it caught in customs for 69 years. Also, if it's still gtg, is Ivan tactical the best source or should I look elsewhere? Thanks.

Coming up for a vote, HR 350 would basically task the FBI with rooting out "white supremacists" as domestic terrorists. How much you want to bet that "white supremacists" would be labelled anyone who opposes CRT, BLM, or -insert leftist group here-. I just sent this missive to my Congressman...

So, who is familiar with the areas north/ east of Birmingham? Seriously considering a move to get me closer to work. I fly for an airline out of ATL, so this would make my commute infinitely easier. Right now looking in the Springville, Trussville, Oneonta areas. I'd like some hobby farm/woods...

Considering building a backpack/road trip pistol. The Brownells shorty has piqued my interest. Mated to an MCX folding stabilizer, it’d be light, compact and could fire folded if needed. Anybody have one or had some time behind one? They’re pretty new, so real (not paid) reviews are hard to...

Has anyone built a Stealth Arms 1911 kit? I haven’t built a 1911 before and the bobtail commander kit has me intrigued. I’ve done ARs, Glocks and bolt guns. I like tinkering. Any recommendations for other kits if not the stealth? Any gotchas or specialty tools that are “indispensable” putting...

Does anyone have hands on with an Athlon Prism scope, specifically Midas BTR PR31? It's their 3x. I'm building an AR for my 15yo daughter and was considering topping it with one of these. Price is right and I think it'd suit her well for the time being. I've used Trijicons, but don't really...

For those of you in states that have passed these ridiculous miscarriages of justice, perhaps the legislators that passed the law, governor that signed it, and police chiefs that enforce it, should get to sample the law they passed to harass us. Since a selling point of the law is the reporting...

I’m looking to get an ultrasonic cleaner and have been considering the Lyman 2500. It’s the right size for what I’m looking for. Any suggestions from users here? Appreciate your input. Thanks.

I'm looking hard at a Sandman TI for my 20" 6.5CM AR. It'll be dedicated to the rifle. Anyone using one on an AR? Any recommends against? I have a 762 Saker on it now splitting duty.

Anyone have experience with these? Trying to keep the weight down with light weight handguards, but still need to have good performance off a bipod. Going on a Mega Maten receiver set. Thanks.

I’m piecing together an AR 308 on a Mega Receiver set. I ran across these at Brownells (sorry, couldn’t get the link to work on my phone) and was wondering if anyone has tried them. Specially the 20rnd Do they feed well? Give better oal than a Magpul? They seem like they might be shorter than...

Well, I managed to break the balance beam on my 10-10 scale. I’m still not sure how that happened, but when I went to set it up today, the beam was broken right at the pivot. I must have banged it somehow. Since the 10-10 is discontinued, I can’t get a replacement for it, so I’m now looking for...

Last night I mounted my new Doctor red dot on my scoped grendel for close range work. It is mounted to a Burris base. I put the hard plastic cover (that came with the sight) on, and now I can't get it off! The directions say to push down and forward, but I can only get it to move about a mm...

I took the family to see the bald eagles in Grafton IL today and took along my Fusion 1600s. I got them a few months ago, but haven’t been able to use them much before today. I must say, I was pretty impressed! I was able to get ranges on eagles out to 498 yds (the longest one I tried)...

I’d like to get some knowledgeable opinions on an idea. If hBN works for coating bullets and lubricating the barrel (for lack of a better term), wouldn’t it also work for the action? Say, mixing some hBN with lube oil. As I understand it, the hBN fills the microscopic voids in the metal...

Hi folks, first post here but I've been reading and learning alot. The search function has answered most of my questions so far. I'm new to reloading and trying to piece together my set up. I have a Co-Ax press and will be loading 308, 300win, 223, 45acp, and 44mag for now. Now to my...
