    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    If they are US territories, such as South Carolina or Virginia, the answer in the 1860s was fuck no, we will kill your ass.

    Ohio Disaster

    I found this link https://response.epa.gov/site/site_profile.aspx?site_id=15933 -I see several confirmations of spill and contamination. -I see statements on and around the 6th indicating that the railway hired contractors to perform mitigation -I see the planned burn off was first mentioned...

    Ohio Disaster

    Train transportation is significantly better than over the road when it comes to central sources... the train manifest would have been available, the rail resources would have had similar info, and just about every fire department in the US knows how to contact CHEMTREC. Detailed facts would...

    Ohio Disaster

    What I wrote, exactly "The gas is pretty bad news and you really do not want a cloud of it floating through town (vapor density is 2.2, heavier than air)... so one option to mitigate it is actually to burn it off." I don't see any defense of the local firefighters in my quote. Maybe you...

    Ohio Disaster

    Some interesting facts shared in this article which strikes me as 'fairly responsible' in stark contrast to much of the drama filled anecdote being flung about like Monkeys with a bucket of fresh poo...

    Ohio Disaster

    Easy folks... this is not the first spill of this type in history. To put this in context, think about how much PVC pipe and other PVC material we use in normal construction and daily life. PVC is a polymer (many molecules linked together) made up of Vinyl Chloride monomer. The stuff is...

    Cleaning house. One bolt action (caliber) for the man that probably doesn't need a bolt action.

    UKD long range shooting... the modern evolution (last 30 years). .308 -->.260 --> .260AI --> 6.5 Creed there were dalliances along the way... .243 and 6.5 x 284, but way too hot and wild to be an enduring relationship

    Thank you all for taking the time to create a QUALITY jerky post! I have a pork loin and a eye round roast in the fridge, will be attempting home made jerky this week. I also plan to try the Ponzu sauce mentioned here. I have been a member of this forum since right after 9/11 and I'm...

    Beef Jerky

    Hey guys, serious topic here.. I am looking for a source of well made beef jerky... I'm not particularly fond of super hot, would prefer a pepper / teriyaki type flavor... but made from real beef and texture like dried beef, not wet plastic. Anyone have a particular brand or source they...

    Armalite AR10 float tube advice

    I recently purchase a longer barrel for my Armalite AR10 (from 16" to 18") and the carbine float tube is just not going to cut it. I am looking for suggestions on a basic setup that will meet my length requirements, support basic functionality (bipod, maybe a light) and still not break the...

    Need advice with an older Tikka T3 build

    I had purchased a Tikka T3 heavy barrel in .223 (with the cheap, plastic stock) as well as CDI bottom metal for a planned build (back around 2010) , but never moved it forward. Now with CDI out of business, my thoughts of inletting an old HS Precision VS stock seem a little more challenging...

    New CZ 457 Varmint

    I own a 452 and a Sako Quad... for me, the 452 would be perfect if I could get the scope lower on the gun, but that damn bolt lift. Does the 457 get the scope down lower and allow a true sight line without an elevated cheek weld?
