My dad gave my son a HS 21 revolver in 22LR. It was distributed thru Sportarms of Florida. It came with 22LR cylinder only but the box shows a 22mag option. Can a 22 mag cylinder be added to this revolver? Anything else need to be changed? Where would I find said cylinder?

I have thought about the 17 Hornet. I would like more opinions/info on it.

5 years ago, yes. Now, with a 9 yr old who loves to shoot, once they come home they stay.

Honestly, I like the fact of less recoil and less noise. I’m not set on the Hornet, it just meets all the things I like. The 17 WSM is another round I’ve looked at but I just keep coming back to the Hornet.

I’ve got a hankering for a 22 Hornet(or possibly a 17). I’ve been wanting something more than a 22 mag but don’t like how the wind effects HMR. For some reason, I keep coming back to the Hornet. I will mostly shoot targets with the occasional groundhog, but do plan for a Prairie dog hunt sometime in the future I like the looks of the Ruger 77 but keep reading bad reviews and that it would need to be sent to CPC. I'm not big on a CZ, mostly because of the magazine hanging down. Thoughts on a Hornet? If I go 22, do I need a K chamber? 17 better or worse? Which rifle?

I built one with a pond pump for my current tankless. All I’ve ever done for my tanked was to drain them once a year.

I'm trying to stay away from gas if at all possible due to not having any gas on my property. If not for that....

Is the rescale done the same as a traditional tanked heater or do you back pump it like a tankless?

The house we purchased has an all electric tankless water heater. It is awful! It pulls 120 amps every time it comes on(I checked with amp meter, not guessing) and still can't keep up with demand in the winter time. I have been looking at tankless outdoor gas options but I'd have to buy a tank, run lines to house, mount the unit outdoors(with fear of lines freezing) and the cost is a lot more than I can spend right now. We really don't have run in the laundry room for a tank water heater but we may have to work around it, so I've been looking at tallest, skinniest options(due to EPA regs these are not that much skinner than a standard). I've been looking at the hybrid option, are they worth the extra $$$? Then again is there too much electronics to go bad? Anyone have a hybrid? Thoughts?

I did a monolithic slab on a shop at my last house. The exterior look wasn’t quite as nice and I’m wanting to go 3 block high as a stem wall.

I’m looking for someone to help me lay out my shop(I.e. need a transit) and then dig footer, lay block, pour slab, etc. I’m wanting to get things together for this spring/summer. I’m looking to do the slab this year and frame out/finish the next. Ive had very bad experiences with the last two GCs I’ve dealt with, so I really need someone with good references. I have considered trying to do a lot of it myself.......

Thanks for all the replies. Gives me more to study on. LOL

I sent you a PM with some questions

I hopefully will be buying a house and 20 acres soon. It does not have a garage or shop on it. What size should I build? I built a 30'x40'x12' with a 10'x16' door at my last house(had to sell before I ever got to use the shop) and I ran out of room quickly. I would like to add a lean-to off the side or back to store things, thus using my shop for it's intended purpose. I did metal trusses on the other and liked them in some ways but it would be nice to have a flat ceiling for decking and lights. I do have a tractor/equipment and would like to put a 2post lift in, in the future. I do not have a camper and don't intend to get one. I do plan to have livestock but don't think I want a barn/shop combo. A service truck at work is 10'4", and I would like to put it in there on the rare occasion. I hobby mechanic and metal work when I can find time away from work. I'm really thinking about 14' walls and possibly 2 12'x12' doors but might stay with one 16'. Is 30'x40' large enough? I asked a lot of questions when I built the other shop and got a lot of helpful input, just wanting to see if I should change anything.

I know the building they used in the 'boro was leased to ATT. They tried the old Fred's building but I think there were a lot of problems with parking.

BAM customs, near Hooper Supply, is teaming up with a local man and they are supposed to be starting soon on custom Glock stuff. I personally have never used either individual so I can't give any reviews. Let me know who you go with and how it turns out.

From my understanding, it only does it after firing. He did try multiple brands of ammo. I'm pretty sure he bought it new. For my knowledge, what would be the problem. I know you said he would probably need a new barrel.

A buddy at work recently bought a Daniel Defense in 300 Blackout. Every time he fires it, it either rips the casings in half or if it ejects, it has a ring around it where the others are coming apart. I told him he needs to contact DD but he would rather fix it local if possible to avoid shipping back and forth. I know I'm not explaining it very well but does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for all the suggestions, we are looking into all of them.

It's funny you posted this, our attorney is the owner/founder of Big Fluffy Dog. I had forgotten until you posted.

We recently lost our basset hound. We got him when my wife and I got married, and little man has had him his whole life. We are looking at getting a chocolate lab pup. Our son and other dog are lonesome. I don't know where to look for dogs anymore, there not in the Tennessean or on Craigslist anymore. Does anyone know of a person or breeder with labs?

That is my budget. I haven't seen very many Bobcats in that price range, so I haven't looked at them much. I have read that John Deere's are tight for a tall person??

While I agree with you, I just can't afford a new one. I try to pay cash for everything for "me". Everyone I've talked has said the same thing as you, once you have one you can't go without it.

BAM Customs in Murfreesboro does good work.

If you are going to mow 5-6 acres weekly, that mower won't last long. I tried a badboy zt model a few years ago and didn't like it. It was my first zero turn and it absolutely turned me off of zero turns. After talking to a lot of yard people and a whole lot more research, I went and looked at Hustler and Toro at dealers. I felt like I could get the same quality of mower with less money thru Toro. I got the 2000 series which is the first step into their commercial series and I love it. Whichever brand you go with, I suggest finding an actual dealer and going thru them. They will take better care of you when/if you have a warranty issue. Lowe's subs all there warranty work out and you can sometimes wait a couple of weeks to get it back.
