I know this is counter to us all, but some times it is SO TRUE!

Project Farm, my trusted source for this kind of info. I watch every video.

Some good advice here regarding sanding/rubbing compound. The kits are just pre-packaged assortments of what you can source from any hardware store, normally at much lower prices. As with any restoration of paint/plastics, start with the most aggressive media you feel comfortable with, progress through finer grits or compounds until the desired results are achieved. I usually use wet or dry sandpaper, wet with plain water with a drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid, ,and finish off with a polish of some sort. Headlight restoration is much like reviving old paint, same methods for the same results.

I had an event similar to this that resulted in me holding a couple of methheads at gun point for 20 minutes until the sheriff's dept showed up. (Calling them was a waste of everyone's time btw). Shortly after that we installed a gate with an electric opener. We could open it via control while coming and going and it had a key pad for trusted guests. That set up was worth it's weight in gold.

I, too, have a long driveway, about the same length as yours. I installed a solar powered gate out at the entrance, and it works well for me. I open it first thing in the morning, and close it at dusk. So far the only unwanted guests have been solicitors and Seventh Day Adventists. Knock on wood.

Not many good things happen at 4am. Stay vigilant.

This kind of thing already exists in California, you know. One must undergo a background check just to buy a box of ammo. One of my friends was denied recently and he has no idea why. He's a law-abiding veteran with a civil-service job and grandkids, but the state said he couldn't have a box of 380 ammo. I told him to buy a reloading setup to be sure that could never happen again.

After watching 4” Anacondas on GB for the last 3 years, I was happy Colt finally decided to add a 4” model to the Anaconda line earlier this year. Truth be told, I have a love - hate relationship with Colt, so I reluctantly caved to fill the hole left in the stable by selling my 629. I just received it back from Colt today, the test target had 4 rounds making one large hole dead center. Look forward to taking my first shots with it. Hope to update with impressions after that.

Trijicon Tenmile 4.5-30X56, SFP, MRAD red and green lighted reticle, with rings. Like new condition - not a scratch on it. This SFP/MRAD model is hard to find. Don't be confused by the numerous variations in these Tenmile scopes. Bought this from a TGO member about a month ago. It works as it should and has very good glass. It just doesn't suit my current needs. Price $1350.00

Mid 50s Springfield Armory M1 Garand. Comes with cmp hard case and certificate. I have some Turkish surplus ammo in clips available to the buyer. $1000 Nashville area

This works too

Very interested in your Hk USP. My email is juju1515rc@gmail.com Thanks. PS I have cash.

I've used those cerakote kits from Walmart on both cars. For best results, sand it first. I wet sand with 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then plastic polish with a drill buffing pad. Takes maybe 20 minutes per light by hand. Then I use the chemical wipe kit. And I still see some oxidation removed with the wipe. If you don't sand first, they'll re-glaze over in less than a year. That's what happened with my wife's car anyway. After sanding, it's been several years and they're still clear.

I have both and have been very pleased. Zero issues.

Gates can be bought anywhere, chain link, steel, tube type. I suggest single gate, opener, exit wand, keypad to come in, I've had one for the past 20+ years, nobody comes in unexpected.

I seem to always miss these. If one of the sales falls through put me in line for any of them. Thanks!

My old Ruger P89 goes with me to shoot almost every time no matter what I go there to shoot with. I still carry it occasionally but it's a bit fat. Boy they sure are fun. The slide cycles on these things a bit slowly and sounds like "ka-chunk" but it's extremely reliable.

I'll take either 2 or 4? Been wanting one if these for a Christmas present Didn't see that John was taking both.

Like a few others have said put up some type of gate even if it's a plain one that you have to use a padlock and log chain. If that's not an option for you right now get a couple of game cameras or a security camera system that you yourself can install, at least with the game cameras you can get a picture of the car. It really sucks this day in age that you can't trust hardly anyone.

I’ll take 2 and 4 if they are available.

Drive way alarm here as well, you can not see my house from the road, drive is just short of 3/10 of a mile. LEO told me years ago that drunks and no good out past 11:00 PM. I worked for a company that had the trucks tag put into a data base, with permission to pull over by LEO after 10:00 PM. I was working late, all good and I thanked the officer.

I'll take #3

I'm in Mt. Juliet

2 peanut butter color mags and a tenicore velo holster.

This is a timely post. I also used the above kit on my daughters 2011 Camry about a week ago and the results were far beyond my expectations. I have done many lights over the years with various methods and this by far gave the best result. They looked like new. The only difference was I used an additional step in that I used 5000 grit in addition to the steps in the box which stops at 3000 grit. It was amazing. Now I am waiting to see how long it lasts, but I was very pleased with the result.

I used the ceramic kit from Wal Mart on my truck lights. Easy to do, and under 20.00. No sanding, just clean with provided cleaner and spread the ceramic liquid evenly over the freshly cleaned surfaces and let dry. Wal Mart also has a kit to treat the black plastic around bumpers and wheels and it works great also. Leaves the plastic looking new. Easy to apply and restoration does last.

Still available?

Looks great as always, GT. Please let me know if you make any more with the handles that look like they are chiseled. I missed those last time.

Very nice as always GT

Every trip to the range I carry my Ruger Mark IV or my Ruger Mark II. They are undeniably my favorite guns to shoot. Funny thing...My CZ Shadow is the most satisfying to shoot and it used to go every time, but it's almost like cheating. You know, if it's too easy it isn't all that much fun.

Fine grit sandpaper, spray with clear oat.

Those Gen 2 Glocks are darn near rust proof and are the most reliable Glocks they ever made in my experience.

Same here. It's so small and easy to carry that it makes me a "lazy carrier" sometimes. Before I got my LCP I would carry larger guns with leather holsters on my belt hidden under my shirt tail . With the LCP I can just put it in the pocket holster and take off down the road in shorts or jeans.

Been putting up decorations for Thanksgiving and cooking turkey getting out pots and pans and getting sweat pants out. And. TUMS. LOL. hope everyone has a wonderful holiday

My problem is I've never met a lever gun I didn't like and it shows. Ha

How about a Winchester 1892 25-20 built in 1915

Im also getting up there (68) and not in great health. I have been wanting to pare down, but as sonn as I let one go I buy at least one more. My sons and son in law are all incapable of hanging on to a gun, so I'm not leaving them any and that makes me sad. My daughters are not that into guns but are interested in having one or two of mine for sentimental reasons, and my wife probably wants 2 or 3. Most of the rest I want to get rid of, and keep only what I need. After many years of collecting, this is very hard to do. I just retired last week, so maybe that will be the impetus to get it done.

I am 75 and not in good health. Have 9 stents in my heart with double bypass and Agent Orange to go along with it all. About 2 years ago I made a decision to give my collection to my grandchildren so my wife will not need to fool with them when I am gone. I am about 2/3 done. Most of the ones I have now will be what I keep. My safe was running over also. I have about 5 more to give away and I will be finished. I feel good about where I have given them so far. Did include the Granddaughters in this give away. Going to make a list of my remaining guns and who gets them, or my wife can keep them. Her choice.

Do you carry empty?

I'm too lazy to lay them all out for a picture so I just went into the safe room..... This is about half of the collection as the rest are around the house on display or hidden or in vehicles.....

I have taken a bit of a combined approach. I have some nice guns of all sorts, but I am basically now a 100% 22 guy. I have been selling off guns I don’t shoot and will probably never shoot and putting that money into higher end 22’s. I have enough of the other to still do anything I want but I don’t hunt anymore and am basically into precision shooting. I love me some small calibers still like 22-250 and 204 Ruger. I am a proponent of finding what you really love and finding the rarities in that and making it fun. I am kind of out of the collecting mode. Even my rarer or classic 22’s I want to shoot. What else is the point of having them.

I have reached my limit. I am retired with no payments any longer and a decent pension. I could buy about any extra guns that I might want. Most of my guns were bought new and I haven't shot but 4 or 5 of them. That being said, I am at the point now that if I buy another gun I sell one that I like less just to keep the number manageable. It is just a mental thing.

I never got around to sharing my TGO build. This was my very first AR15 from the old group buy. I just swapped the cheap yet sturdy UTG quad rail for a CMT HDM rail. To be honest I didn't hate the UTG Pro rail, but I felt like the rifle deserved better. It's a TGO CMT upper and lower set, 16" barrel with a Silencerco ASR flash hider, Magpul MOE furniture, AIM surplus BCG, sporting a Vortex 1x6. -southernasylum

I have posted this before. When the British marched on Concorde and Lexington, they were after the canon, the powder and the shot(lead). They went to Boston to get the ships that had the Canon and powder and shot on them as well. The British knew that if the common man did not have powder or lead, all he ended up with was having a club to fight with. It will never make it past the courts. Well, unless this country goes to hell in a handbasket, and the Dems hold power for more years than we can think about and appoint a leftest commie Supreme Court.

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!
