Was able to pick up the suppressor this morning. After we finally got in touch with the guy we met and got it all took care of

I'd leave it as is. You ought to post pics of it.

I would encourage you to set the price rather than wait for offers. You can go to Gun Broker, Guns International and similar sites. Look for sales that have closed and see what the price was. I know that Gun Broker has filters that will allow you to do that.

Then ask for one in your for sale ad. Post quality pictures and an accurate description, and if it is priced fairly, some good member here will be along shortly to pick it up. I've met some really great folks here buying, selling, and trading.

I got some more bees this week. Here is how they came in the mail. I had to go get them from the post office. That's a can of sugar water that I removed from inside the containter. To the left is the queen; they keep her seperated in the "queen cage" until the rest of the bees get used to her and accept her. This is actually my 2nd package of bees in two weeks. The first one came in and about 75% of the bees were dead in the bottom of the container. Not sure what happened, but the company I bought them from send out a replacement. I put what was left from the first package into a hive, just to see if they will survive. So far it looks like they are doing ok, but there are very little worker bees in the hive. This one was much better, with just a handful of dead bees. Here they are in the hive after I dumped them in. You can see them gathering around the queen. There is a plug of candy on the end that the bees will eat through. It'll take them a few days to get all the way through, which will give them more time to get used to her. After a few days, they'll eat a hole all the way, and she'll make her escape, and hopefully go to work making baby bees. The hive is ready to go. The part with the screen on it is a feeder with sugar water to help them get started. They are bunching up on the outside, and several of them were flying around doing an orientation flight to calibrate their internal GPS. It's been three days since I did this, and already the bees are coming and going pretty steadily, and bringing back pollen and nectar. I need to check on them this weekend and see if the queen is out of her cage yet.

stainless/wet cleaning is the only way to go. Same set-up for 6 yrs. On hot days you can dry outside in the sun in a short period. If you have a shoe rack for your clothes dryer you can put clean brass in a wire basket and set on it. Or put the wire basket in the oven 175* for about an hour. Anyway, brass is super clean and shiny inside and out.

I have a stainlesstumblingmedia.com rebel 17 and it's fantastic, quiet and works great the improvement over vibratory cleaners is remarkable. Get yourself a media seperator too it makes life easier. I dry the brass on a cookie sheet in the oven when the wife isn't looking....

I've worked for a bunch of banks over the years. BOA was one of the worst to deal with. They're so big they're completely inhuman.

I agree on both.

Are we talking fine collectibles, or run of the mill Wal Mart specials here? Whadda ya got?

This is good advice. Some folks do prefer an HCP holder, but that's just a preference.

Buy a membership and post them in the guns for sale forum here. A pawn shop will rip you off. There is no paperwork required for a person to person sale within the state.

OK. I changed it to a white woman.

Are you a racist?

Double up on payments when you can if for no other reason than being that much closer to debtfree

also note 18-20yo military personnel may obtain a HCP

The Republicans hate him too. Trump is trying to end "business as usual" and the good 'ol boy system in Washington. Just about every congress critter in DC don't want that change. They like being lazy and worthless.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

You need to e very careful about what doctors tell you. I have been told not less than 7 times I would be dead in 24 hours or less and I am still here. BOA just sent me a NO LIMIT card Application in the mail the other day and I cut it up in small pieces, Placed it is the envelope they supplied with postage paid and sent it back to them. I have began reseaching other banks in my area in which to move my accounts.

So they do jump up and try to kill people all by themselves!

Obama would have if they were flying the ISIS flag!

From strictly a collectability and value perspective, leave it alone. Unmolested, unrestored pieces are typically sought after by collectors more so than guns that have been "prettied up". As an heirloom, you may have a completely different objective for it, and that's understandable, just be aware that the next person who owns it may not feel the same. In that case, it's likely that any restoration done to it now may highly reduce its value in the future. In regards to your original question, you might have better luck on some of the collector boards, like gunboards.com. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it ...

My bees had a rough year this year. The hive that I bought a new queen for, must have rejected her. I had checked on it a few weeks after putting her in, and there was no sign of babies being made, there were very few bees, and there was a nasty wax moth infestation beginning. Wax moths will absolutely destroy your hive. This particular hive had a ton of honey in it, and the wax moths bored thru the comb and all that honey dripped right out the bottom of the hive. Unfortunately That hive did not make it and I had to take it apart. My oldest hive, however, finally got around to making some honey. This one swarms every year, and so the remaining bees waste a lot of time building back resources. They never seem to be able to make extra honey. Well this year they did. Out of about the 5 frames they filled, I was able to harvest about 12 jars of honey from them this weekend. It's not a lot, but I'm just so glad to see any kind of return on my investment and work.
