 Well, since we're all sharing our horror stories of the USPS, I might as well share mine which happened in the past few days.  Ordered 2 pair of Wrangler dress jeans from Shelpers in Witchita, KS. Pkg. left there via DHL ( low grade version of UPS/FedEx ),  went to Grand Prairie,TX, then on to Memphis. Handed off to USPS. Sat there 3 days, finally went to Nashville ( bear in mind I live 10 mi. No. of Lebanon ), went "back" to Memphis, sat there for however long, then made it's way on toward my address. Ordered on 2/16, arrived here 2/24. Why it would go to from Memphis to Nashville, back to Memphis, is one of life's great mysteries, explained only by the use of the words "government agency". Tracking during this fiasco was impossible. Contacted parties involved. None could tell me more than the useless tracking # would provide. There a an untold number of dumbA--s working for the Feds. The USPS has more than their share. End of rant. Hope your experience is better. I will go ot of my way to avoid USPS.  BTW, the old pony express made the same trip in less time. Should have drove myself & picked it up.

Outstanding. Thank you crossfire,and thank you for your service, Brother.

   Yep!

I used it on my Colt AR. After it set for a few months, it gummed the thing up until I had to fully disassemble the receiver & soak the crap out of it. Bolt stuck, wouldn't cycle. Travel at your own risk. Supposedly invented by a Navy Seal. Should have taken a few more classes in the armory.  JMHO

   That would be interesting for sure. Won't have a lot of time to play with. I drove to OK City 3 or 4 yrs ago, no problem. Health issues lately have slowed the ole boy down a bit, so not sure how well I'll handle this. Got a 2010 F-150 crew 4x4, drives/rides like a Lincoln, so should be comfortable + good backup driver as well.  Thanks for the info, tho....maybe another time.    Edited to add : Not sure you can look at too many guns, LOL

   LOL, so true.

   Ok, thanks, looked for it, guess I missed it somewhere. Aways good to have a TGO bud to have my blind side,LOL

   Good point. The trip will be part of the fun for us. I've never been to Tulsa, been to OK City & other places there, so something new for me.  Just hope the weather doesn't screw it up. 1st of Apr. is taking a peek at storm season in that neck of the woods. And of course, get to check out all the restrooms along the way, LOL

 Out of curiosity, does anyone know the price of admission?

On news this AM, subjects have been caught.

   Definitely try to do that.

 That's true, as per court ordered payment. Otherwise, different animal.

   Sorry for omitting that little item, LOL. Going first weekend in Apr. Leaving Fri. am 4/1, returning Mon. Apr. 4th.  Show is 4/2 & 4/3. Not going looking for anything in particular. Just for amusement. Won't have any funds after trip expenses anyway, LOL.

Something I have always wanted to do, is go to the big gun show in Tulsa,OK. Just to see the "creature" as the old mountain men used to say.  Finally have definite plans to do so, hotel reserv. made, my GF is going too, her sister lives there, so she can spend some seldom gotten time with her. Should be a fun trip, can't wait.  DLM, if you're around, any advice is appreciated.

 People are held in jail all the time for Failure to Pay (FTP). They stay until they or someone pays what they owe. I've booked many of them over the years @ the local lockup.

   Same here. But, whatever works for you, go for it. Thing with me is, wherever I go the gun goes, without removing it from somewhere, or possibly getting in a hurry & forgetting the thing. Happens to us old folks ya know.

My ex GF bought a set of Michelins for her Avalon. As you said, friendly, professional, reasonable, and fast service. Far as I know, no issues.  I have a good friend in Hartsville I get all my tire service from, but Discount would be my choice otherwise. If you are ever in HArtsville & need something, drop by Hartsville Alignment, tell I sent you. ( may charge more tho, LOL )

Looks good to me.

 xd, that's above my pay grade, LOL.  I'll defer to an expert on the matter.    Have to say, you've been a busy man tho.

   Wilson makes good stuff for sure. Whether it's better than Forster, I can't say. Haven't tried side by side. Certainly wouldn't be afraid of anything they make. Bottom line for me, if it works, it works.

True R-Bert. One of the many joys of the Forster Co-Ax press is that you can change dies in a couple of seconds once you have them initially adjusted. Instead of screwing it in or out with the standard press, and hoping you get it the same each time, the Forster simply slides in/out. Just wish they made pistol dies as well. Been meaning to ask them about that. Know you'll enjoy your new press.

   I don't shoot competition, but have the Forster set with the Ultra Micrometer seater die. These aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Using these for .308 also. You'll have to get up way before daylight to beat Forster. If you can bite the bullet ( pun in there somewhere, LOL ), on cost, go for it. I also have the Forster Co-Ax press, which is awesome. You can find them now under $300. Naturally, the price has gone down since I bought mine. JMHO

 I was on FB for about 2 months for a specific purpose, to locate a long lost cousin, which I did. Then I got off. FB is ridiculous, with all the crap on there, serial posters, etc. Never attempted to buy or sell anything. I'd rather go to the gun show to sell where everyone is honest, dressed neat, smells good, pays top dollar, & takes you to dinner  afterward. ( Kidding ).

Hadn't heard of the trigger housing failures on the Walther forum or elsewhere. Have had zero issues with mine. The HK & PPQ are similar in many ways, I'll stick with the PPQ. To each his own, can't go very far wrong either way.

   You are not alone neighbor. LOL  Guess we'll just have to work on that.
