Auto Manufacturers pushing synthetic oil? (I’m a bit long winded today)
Grunt67 replied to Randall53's topic in General Chat
I started using 100% synthetic back in 1980, before it came in style. The old mechanics made fun of it, out of ignorance . The Air Force in Alaska had been using it for years due to the extreme temps. I've used it ever since in everything, car, truck, riding mower, push mower, boat, whatever. As others have said, manufacturers have finally caught up with technology, and are using it as well. I do change my own oil, always have. -
I'm truly amazed that the McDonalds here in Hartsville is still in business. Food is an adventure, no inside dining ( supposedly according to a manager friend of mine, the reason for this is he's too cheap to pay someone to clean the tables, etc. Actually, they're supposed to do that anyway, tho rarely did. I long for the day it floats down Goose creek.

My guess is, NY's game plan is to keep bringing bits & pieces to the public, causing chaos in the court system. Not that they expect to win the case, but bleed the public & NRA dry in the process. JMHO y

Never tried with Midway, but Midsouth allowed my order to remain on BO, for 3 mos, until they got the bullets in. Then they sent me an email asking if I still wanted it. I replied I did, they started processing the order. It's being g packed now.

Starline is great brass. Like everybody else, they are waaay behind now, no relief in sight. I just received an email from Midsouth Shooters, that my backorder on 45/70 bullets are in. Ordered Jan 12, 2021.

I have a Walther PPS M2 with the RSMc red dot installed by Walther. It co-witnesses with the iron sights. Iron sights are Mepro nite sights, BTW, From what I have seen & read lately, most now co- witness. Just make sure what you buy will do that. Like anything else, research first.

True, and women more than that. LOL Seriously tho, nothing wrong with changing your mind, there's often a better idea to be had. I've had both Moderna vaccines at the VA. No issues. I don't buy the idea that Pfizer is any better than Moderna. Haven't heard any official word on that.

Thanks to a tip from a buddy on the Henry rifle forum, I scored 4 lbs. IMR4198 on Hogdons' site. They sell direct to the public when they have some. I wasn't aware of this til yesterday. No idea what's there now, but might want to check it out & keep a watchful eye later. You an also sign up for email notifications.

I have 2 hearing aids, furnished by the VA, so no cost, thankfully. The first ones I had were the little in the canal type. A royal pain in the ass to use. Hard to get in & out, volume control almost unusable. Finally quit using them. Years later, I got the newer version ( behind the ear & little cone inside the ear. these worked really well. I have a newer version of that now. The ones you se on TV, I believe, just basically amplify, with out all the extra bells & whistles. Noise reduction, directional hearing, etc. You kinda get what you pay for. The good ones run several thousand $$$$. Bottom of the list is $29 at Walmart. They do work, up to a point. I used on temp. when one of mine quit. This may not have the answer you were looking for completely, but hopefully it will help some. Good luck, Larry

Folks, I used Brasso by hand, with a rag, and polished cases for years, before I found something better. Never had any issues with cracking, splitting, or smelling bad in wet weather, LOL. My guess, someone had an issue, gave the blame to Brasso. JMHO FWIW.

I was in there in the 'boro Mon Am, nothing!!

I have one I bought at Walmart years ago. Never had a problem with it, or had cause to need it in a dispute. As another poster said, don't go cheap on the SD card.

Ditto.

I got both of mine at the VA M'boro. Moderna vaccine. No issues whatsoever. YMMV

I think consolidation is the key word. JMO -

News indeed. Money issues maybe? -
I read the article in American Rifleman on the PDP. Already had a heads up from Walther, but this was a good thorough article on it. I have a PPS w/RSMC factory mount. I like this PDP better in some ways. Not enough at this time to trade, but would be on it if not for that. Walther really has done their homework on this. And as you said, the red dot system isn't a toy any longer. It's here to stay for good reason.

If he gets into a fire fight, and lives to wish he had one more round, then he'll be a believer.

Are you prepared for this incoming ice storm?

When I was growing up ( assuming I ever did), big snows were normal. Now it's a rare exception. Other than boredom, it hasn't bothered me all that much. -
I have pushed them out slowly with the decapper. Never had a problem, but never reuse them. The anvil may be damaged & why take a chance.

I went the last time, and as I reported, it was loooong lines, prices bumping the ceiling, if there was even any thing to buy. If you have the patience & warm clothes ( gonna be real cold ), then have at it. Personally, I don't plan on going again, waste of time for me. Not looking to buy or sell. Use your own judgement.
