  1. +! on what Recessed Filter is talking about. I just drove to the shotgun range and it is a little swampy! Also it is the beginning of pot hole season out here.
  2. Never been to Dixon's so no way to compare. I had just picked up a .44 BP and wanted to get the basics. Powder, balls, ball ram starter, nipple wrench, butter etc. Don't know what they specialize in, but in looking at the shelves, I think they are geared for local hunters. They had what I needed when Cabellas had nothing in .44
  3. Take a look at Mastodon in the vendor section , there is a sticky by Nick there.
  4. Interesting! Not only are we talking about inferior batteries, but ones conterfieted to look like surefires! Thumbs up to Highexposure!
  5. Amazon has a good deal on Surefires, if you are a prime member and get the free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Surefire-SF12-BB-Lithium-Batteries-12-Pack/dp/B000UX93OQ The guys over a CPF think that Surefires and Duracell are the best. There is a blurb that Panasonic makes Surefires. no verification. In looking at the charts from CPF, it looks like they all drop off rapidly after about 40 min or so. Check it out for more information about batteries then you ever wanted to know! http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?235213-CR123A-Comparison-Review-4Sevens-Titanium-Innovations-Tenergy-Surefire-Duracell
  6. Went this week to Cabellas looking for supplies and they did not have what I needed and the rep was more interested in hawking 6 shooters then helping me, (to be fair they did have a good supply of powder and .50 rifle stuff) Upon a referral, I took a side trip to Darryl's and was not dissapointed! They had all I needed and more and were very helpful. 134 Canaan Grove Rd, Newmanstown, PA 17073 717-949-3157 If you use your GPS, do not be startled if you end up looking at a field. Just head up the road to the first house on the left. There will be a side road with a sign on it. Darryl's is the building behind the house. Oh, and bring biscuits for the dog on the counter!
  7. Thanks for the corction fat fingers on a keyboard strikes again!
  8. Only handguns need to go air (and I believe it is next day), rifles can go ground. Ammo has to have an OMD sticker on it. You can get it off the net and print it. (also max weight per box is 66lbs.) NOTE: Shipped some ammo from the UPS Center in Bound Brook (+1 for the guy behind the counter for customer service). The guy there said they will be changing the OMD label soon sut does not have a copy of it or a time line. I have also in the past shipped my shotgun as parts 1/2 in one box and 1/2 in another at local UPS operations, but it looks like it might be changing. Inconvient yes, (Bound Brook is 20 miles from me) something to get all bent out of shape from? No.
  9. NIck is a real gentleman! Went out of his way to meet me at Mastodon Ammo & Camo and bring is guages. Very helpful in looking at some Enfields and a wealth of information on them. Thanks to Nick we were able to pull one out of service before somebody got hurt (headspance issue, not apparent to the average Joe) and have an old favorite being looked at for restoration. Thanks Much Nick!
  10. Good idea! I will order a bunch of orange and maybe yellow. Divide the number by the cost of shipping, and I think $1.50 should work out if I get 40 of them. How many would you like, and do you have a preference for color? Bob
  11. Just gave away what I thought was my 2nd to last UCS and found out it was my last one! Time to order some more and shipping now a days from Country Com is up to $9.95 for one or a couple doxen! http://www.countycomm.com/ucs.html Anybody know of an alternate place to buy them from or use a different type of cleaning tool that has that great fine edge? i searched the net and came up empty. Thanks Bob
  12. Real hard to get. They stopped making them, so whatever is left is getting scarce and even more exspensive.
  13. Thanks ragtopgoat! Now I just spent another $130 on "oh I got to have that stuff on that site" !
  14. I have a TNT Cimarron I got used from a fellow whose wife did not like it as it was too heavy for her. It is really nice, but has not been used enough to break in the action. If you would like to try it, be happy to match up with you.
  15. I live and work in the Hunterdon area and have a few dropped calls using ATT, but so do my friends who use Verizon. Have had ATT for 10 years and very happy with their customer service. Other than dollars saved, the only other consideration would be speed of data if you are going to surf a lot with it. I have heard Verizon has better speed on data transfer. I justed picked up a new 4S from Best Buy for $49 with 16 gig of memory about a month ago. I am guessing the 1 dollar ones are 8 gig and maybe refurbished? Either way I reccomend squaretrade as an aftermarket break insurance,. I have used them for 5 years. Had two claims so far with them and it went very well with out a hassle. http://www.squaretrade.com/
  16. Right back at ya DamjanBlues! And thanks OGfarmer!
  17. If you have any left, I'd like two bricks please!
  18. Seems like we are :thsmiley_deadhorse: . Get out your shotgun for HD! Sorry! I always wanted tp use that emoticon
  19. Federal Guard Dog (use to be EFMJ) was supposed be a workaround for the HP law. http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/handgun.aspx?id=936 But like it was said before, with no test cases, the jury is still out. Various reports on how well , or not well it performs/penetrates versus HP.
