  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. GSG STG-44 in .22lr. Picked this up the other day at Outpost for $350. I could tell it had been shot a lot as the chamber face and bolt head were very dirty. Fully disassembled and cleaned, now looks great. All the parts look good. Haven’t had a chance to take it to the range yet but will soon. I didn’t know how hard to find and expensive spare mags are. Glad it had two extra. All three are 24 rounds mags. Would like to find a 10 rounder. I’ve been kinda wanting one of these since they came out back in 2012 . Any of you have one of these?

  12. My driveway alarm activated at 4:20 A M this morning. Got up and walked to the front door and viewed auto taillights exiting my circle driveway. It was an older large car. My drive is 300' off the road and one cannot see the circle from the road. One way in and one way out, with circle at the top of the slight elevated hill. Had to be someone intending to come back here. Unnerving guys. Turned on outdoor flood lights and sit up watching. I had a prowler a few years back and I have lit up the outside of my house really well. I don't keep all of them on but have several plus a streetlight on at all times. I am thankful I installed the driveway alarm a couple years ago. They were having prowlers looking for Xmas presents stored in car sitting in driveways on Xmas Eve in my area so I purchased the D alarm from Amazon.

  17. 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.

  22. 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.

  26. 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.

  32. My youngest daughter and her family are here, and we were shooting yesterday, and she asked if I would get the Henry Lever out so she could shoot it. She loves that rifle. Hope to get it out on Friday and bust some caps. It is 38/357 Mag caliber. She asked me to give the rifle to her when I get finished with it. I am. We have shot up some expensive ammo this month. We have fired around 2,000 all totaled, rounds this past 2 weeks. With the 3 newbies I trained last week and my grandkids this week. They look forward to this week every year. My 13 Y O granddaughter took my Model 60 22 w/scope and was dinging the 22 steel tree target with 2" swing out targets at 50" feet like crazy. That thing is a "hoot to shoot". She out shot her brother, mom and dad with that rifle. That thing is a tack driver. Shoots 1" groups at 50 yards off sandbags. Edited to add; They all want to shoot the Henry lever. Guess another 100/200 or so rounds of 38 Spl and 357 Mag are going to get burned, L/w. I will say the Henry is one of my favorite rifles also. Just something about swinging that lever. When I was a kid my dad had a 243-lever gun. I shot it all the time. He also had a pre-model 10 38 Spl revolver and I fired it whenever he got it out. Guess my love for them followed me from kiddom into adulthood. Truly thankful today for family, and epically for Jesus Christ, and what he has done for us all. I praise Him.

  34. 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.

  36. 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.

  38. 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

  39. 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.

  40. 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!

  42. Renewed mine last week. No Regerts. The renewal asks how many you've acquired and moved along in the last 3 years. I checked my bound book just to be sure I was accurate and the first number was somehow higher than I remember it being and the second number remained at 0.
