I know this is a little ways away from twist rate, caliber, etc but I would appreciate any guidance on replacement shocks for a 2006 Dodge 3500 dually. The last two sets I have purchased haven't lasted more than30-40k miles and that seems low to me. One set was what a dealer put on and the...

Last weekend I was driving through town to drop off some mail. Its a small town with only 2 stop signs and parking on the street with a dually is not gonna work so I parked down the road that the feed store. As I am walking to drop off the mail I pass a tiny war memorial on the corner(probably...

I was looking at Vortex, Kowa, Zeiss, Leica, etc,etc. to use for back ups binos and for the grandkids to use on their hunts. After spending time with all of them the Meopta MeoPro HD's (10x42) were the ones I went with and now that I have had some real time with them I am really impressed...

Two of the grandsons are going on their first big hunt this year and I was thinking that they should have their own set of bino's. Probably something in the 10x42 category and not over $1k(ideally in the $600-800 range). I probably would not directly give them the bino's in case they dont take...

I recently started downsizing the shop and was selling off some older tools that folks don’t use anymore. Die grinders, die filer’s, a big manual screw press, big vertical band saw, lathe, etc. This is all stuff that came off old military bases and ships machine shops. What surprised me was...

After a quick trip up to north eastern CA to drop some stuff off I went through Reno and stopped at Cabelas to grab a few items. Simple stuff that I could grab and get back on the road to beat traffic at the "spaghetti bowl". 3 things... Boot laces ( in the shoe area), a can of water proofing...

Interesting commentary/rant from a fairly left leaning guy. A little long but good points. I started listening to Poole a while ago and his position on many issues has been maturing and moving right.

It got too hot to move the cattle very much so I went to a buddies training barn to pull saddles and wash the 2 year olds. One of the assistant trainers says "damn......just got a text from a friend who said they are attacking people on the road and thats in Oklahoma. He says they attacked a...

Hey folks, I know this is not exactly a smith question but you always come through for me so I am going to ask.... I am not a welder however I TIG a lot. I want to weld up a bunch of oil pipe for some pasture fencing so I borrowed a engine driven welder to get started . When I went to my local...

Folks, I could use some help in finding a place for my 88 year old dad to chat with other vets for an hour or so once every couple of weeks or once a month. He has dimentia and is not a yeller nor violent. If there is a meeting where like minded folks go for a cup of coffee and conversation...

I was not able to grab the interview with Ryan Cleckner, from the NSSF, on FOX however it was well done. Articulate, to the point, well thought with relevant facts being presented. His credentials in the industry, his legal background and his ability to present himself well on camera make me...

I know.....this is not exactly a gun smithing question but I could use some help from the experts here. I frequently drill holes up to 1 1/4" and find that if I step up in drill size that the holes drift from the original starting point. If I use a hole saw there is a lot of clean up in the cut...

Folks, I was at a range moving a steel target at 200yrds and a couple of leo's, getting ready to qual on rifle, were practicing. One guy kept insisting his rounds were on target with his issued mini 14 and, as proof, he was pointing to a hole clean through the 1/2 inch steel. Based on the dust...
