  1. As cool as that gun is, the small case modular version just gives non-gun people really bad ideas.
  2. If we all had all the guns we wanted, we would need a warehouse to store them. lol
  3. She is a beauty. I want to watch the face of someone who does not know when you shoot the 7th round. lol Everyone assumes revolvers are 6. My Papaw had a 9 shot 22 revolver.
  4. With the slug and buckshot mold and a friendly attitude at the local junk yard, you could make plenty of slugs ahead of time just from wheel weights. Never done it, but my Dad used to melt lead for sinker molds on a Coleman stove. Of course he also melted battery lead which can be a big no no due to the fumes. That stuff is not pure lead due to the chemical reactions. He used to re-load 12ga until his buddy stole his equipment. I assume you will always have some waste as the lead sticks to the melting pot or ladle, but that could be minimized by scraping it off each time. I know a local shooting range that recovers the lead shot from their skeet range every so often. They sell 5 gallon buckets of shot for almost nothing. That way they keep the EPA happy. Makes the reloaders happy too. I am betting if you hung around during a skeet match day, you could pick up a ton of re-loadable hulls for free. Saw someone melting aluminum cans in a small hand made smelter. It would not have the energy of lead, but cans would be a easy to come by source if things happened. It might be possible to do the same with copper. Be easy enough to gather wire and copper pipe if all the electricity is off. Yeah, I agree, at some point having live rounds, albeit homemade, are much better than having none. High end ammo is great, but I would take 100 rounds of Walmart ammo over 20 rounds of boutique stuff any day.
  5. Any chance your work has a VPN? if so, you can log onto it and then just use Remote Desktop. If they do not have... Gotomypc is another option, but it is still $12 per month. https://get.gotomypc.com/plansandpricing Showmypc is one that I use for one time connections, but they can have a remote setup too. Looks like $55 per year http://showmypc.com/service/index.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiAhs3DBRDmu-rVkuif0N8BEiQAWuUJr20QIfFyrACV8BFTG8E8sTfdWiQ3QRikggpMTtVwk1MaAkgz8P8HAQ You can also check out TeamViewer. I know their business plans are expensive, but I think personal ones are free. At least they used to be. I just can't see that on their site. Depending on your tech level, you can use something like DYNDNS and Tightvnc. Those are free, but puts all the security stuff back on you to set up mostly. Anymore questions, just ask.
  6. I am +1 on taking a cheaper alternative if you do take it. Maybe swing by a few LGS or pawn shops and get a little Kel-Tec or LCP. Just be sure to go run a mag through it before leaving so you know it is 100% functional.
  7. Dave looks like you beat me to it.
  8. Looks like the Facebook for them had a 1/5/17 update. I am guessing someone hijacked the domain or just failed to get payment applied. The same thing happened to local police department at one point. They simply forgot to pay the payment to renew the domain.
  9. Why I always by my own equipment. It pisses them off too. Lol
  10. Do I remember right that some people has these redone to 30.06?
  11. I love how they charge us fees to recoup fees they pay. I thought that was overhead and you took it out of the regular monthly charges. I am sure they charge a little extra too. By the way, your answer is 2.3 million a month. I have tried to find other options in my area, but the DSL is questionable and no one else serves my street.
  12. I was a broke college kid, but I could have made a lot of money on them over the years. Who am I kidding, I can't stand to get rid of any gun I get. Lol
  13. Purely is about how much you can do at once. I have over 10 wireless devices in my household and with kids they can suck up pretty much all you can get. It is hype for the average household but as more things are connected, it gets closer to being neccesary. It should not be as expensive as it is though.
  14. Only as much as I have to. My budget does no allow things like Colt Pythons, Barret 50 cals and other things I would love to have.
  15. My first deer rifle was a sporterized Enfield from my grandfather. Someone did some nice engraving on it. Nice rifles to have. Nothing wrong with the .303 British round. I still kick myself for passing up a chance to buy as many as I wanted (non-sporterized) in a gun shop for $79.99 each years back.
  16. That looks like a sweet gun.
  17. Like everything else no one wants you messing with the 3rd hole. Lol I had not even paid attention to that, but I have no inclination to own a legal or otherwise full auto. I go through enough ammo as is.
  18. Is a stripped lower technically full auto just because it has a setting scribed on it? Or if you put a semi lpk in it, does that make it a semi?
  19. I think you meant they were running an idiotinthecabulator....
  20. It is always funny to me to see all the 4x4s in the ditch as I pass in my front wheel drive. They just have all 4 wheels sliding because they are still doing 65 on ice on the interstate.
  21. Wonder what the total weight is on this?
  22. Anybody ever looked at putting a mercury switch alarm in your safe? That way if it tips up, the Alarm is triggered. Not sure if anyone makes them though.
  23. That is the only way to work.. for yourself. Sadly I don't. So what did the FFL inspection consist of. i have heard people say they can be picky.
  24. Hey Mike, Welcome So where are you setting up shop?
  25. With the Sears and Movie theater going out of the Fort Henry Mall I expect they will be hurting. I think the center with BestBuy on Stone Drive is hurting them too. Basically it is just a bunch of teenagers hanging out when I have to go in there. I used to dream of owning craftsman stuff, but not anymore. The last time someone I knew tried to get a replacement for a lifetime warranty wrench, they hassled him. They ended up asking him to ship it for a replacement because they couldn't just give him a new one at the store.
