This was yesterdays afternoon project. I cooked dinner for my wife. Ribeye steak , garlic mash potatoes and corn. And finished up dinner with a couple shots of Berentzen Apple

So your getting a 410 then?

A good crop of truths from Patriot Post today:

A little late to be thinking of getting into reloading, powder and primers are as scare as unicorns. I don't see this correcting until Trump gets re elected. Don't even want to think about the alternative. I've cut back on range time, instead of throwing lead and copper it feels more like gold.

and like NJ, the urban centers will make the rules for the rest of us. VA is done - just like NJ.

While the Bolt is quick, it's not that quick. All sources that I've found quote a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds. And your 120 mph is pure fiction, considering the Bolt has a governed top speed of 91 MPH. I'm a dinosaur so I drive dinosaurs - give me cubic inches and naturally aspirated horsepower. Adios, Pizza Bob

:::::::: Post your 'not gun related projects! Whatchya got? ::::::::: This covid crap is driving me bat-shit crazy. I've been on lock down since 12/10/19 because of medical reasons. Then surgery and on the mend then they say you cannot do anything when the lock down started. Argh! After a list of honey do's around the house, I decided to mod my new truck. My previous F150 was dedicated to the Thin Blue Line. Lease was up and the dealer couldn't wait to get their teeth into it. Got a 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. Down sized because I don't need a big truck down here. All with the intentions of getting ready for wife's retirement. So this one I dedicate to the American Hero Chris Kyle. Read all the books, movie, etc... Belong to the CKFF and figured it would be something different and worth while. It's considered Shadow Black, (high gloss black).... First things first. Get rid of all the badging and/or blacking them out. Then added mods like Punisher, tire tread and other decals, spoiler, hood scoop and over 12000 lumens of various lights, (Ditch lights, rock lights, 30"bar light, bed lights, rear pods, etc)... . It's like an effing UFO at night all controlled via wireless remote Trigger system. From brand new to current with a lot of mods in between. Its an ongoing project with almost $10K of mods....

If the primer is weak - it will not fully detonate the cordite - you can pull the heads - clean out the cordite and drop new powder - the weak primer should have no issue with the detonation of the new propellent.

FTFY

If you think they are projects, you ain't married long enough. That stuff is 2nd nature.

Nick, a guy posted this on M14 forum. Sniper Krag. there are only 2 left and this is one!!! SWEET!!

There is one major difference. In NJ once a gun law is enacted it is never rescinded. In VA anti 2A guns have been undone. This has happened before. Laws like this were overturned in 2002 in VA along with other anti 2A laws. People here are pissed and the next election will decide whether or not anti-2A laws will stand. If the Republicans take back the state, then the anti 2A laws will be overturned. It seems to be much easier to make a difference in VA because the majority of the state is pro 2A and gun ownership is very high.

Check out Tactical Tailor and see if they have anything.. they are not cheap.. but the quality is there.. and they stand by things in an indescribable way.. I had my pack for YEARS.. I use it every day.. had an issue with the zipper.. they told me to send it in.. and they repaired it.. no questions asked.. they didn't care how long I had it.. they didn't care if I was the 1st or 100th owner.. didn't ask for a receipt.. they just made it right..

Get a container of KROIL, Let soak for a few days. Really works well. VP-victory plastics. Bayo maker should be on hilt

Np bro. But crazy times. Agreed?

No thanks. Colts are overpriced and not worth their price tag. Windham Weaponry is just as good, if not better, and are sold at a significantly lower price point. The Colt namesake ain't what it used to be. I stocked up on 80% lowers when they were cheap and plentiful. As far as builds- I roll my own.

I have to disagree with you on this. The overwhelming majority of VA is a 2A sanctuary (unlike Joisey) and the people down there are aggressive in defending their right to carry. They have shown tremendous unity and activism since "Blackface" and his legislature took over. If they keep the energy up and remember to vote in their next election, then I don't see why they can't avert the fate that happened to us. They are nothing like the nebbish, quarrelsome, and complacent gun owners here.

Rutgers95. I told ya so. Picked up a couple garands todays. Hah

I guess they sold the $295,000 one - i don't see that in the list anymore. Unless it was a new one. It is nice of them to put a few on sale to $68,500 from $73,000. Makes it a steal, a gun for the everyman.

Just a side note. Tonight I went on Gallery Of Guns for chuckles. There are NO M&P, H&K or Sig pistols in stock at all! Three Sig pistols did show up as 'in Stock', but when I went to the item the 'Quantity available' was ZERO! I can only hope this means a bevy of new owners prepared to tell the gun control zealots GFY. Note.: No Glocks either!

I feel like mipa. Saying you mfers. Get into reloading. Im sure he’d never saw this coming.

We have finally reached the point that I can set up one of my Dillon's for 9mm again. It has been quite a while since I have reloaded 9mm but I have a lot of components and now that I shoot in my backyard I am going through a lot of 9mm. It is amazing how fast the availability disappeared and the price of 9mm skyrocketed with the latest civil unrest. A lot of the 9mm components I have right now are from 12 years ago.

I paid seven....happy with that....she's a shooter !!!

One just sold on gunboards for 895 shipped

Their USA headquarters is in Ottsville, PA. In the mid-70's JCPenney in Wilkes-Barre, PA was a Kreighoff dealer. The head of the sporting goods dept was a big trap shooter and wanted access to them at cost. LOL. He spoke of taking a wood rasp to his to fit the stock to him. Adios, Pizza Bob

For that kind of money, it had better provide some serious pleasure. I'm not going to describe the pleasure outside of the 1a Lounge.

So any new reloaders out there?

I bet the micrometer sits on the 308 die...bullet seating to fine depth...

That's PAKI AMMO.... Its crap.... Click...wait...wait...wait for it...maybe a boom. It is loaded to Mk7 specs with cordite...not powder....cordite burns very hot..IF it ignites.. It is berdan primed.... I break it down for the heads... It ain't worth spit...

Without nitrous, my car goes 0 to 112 in 6.4 seconds in 660ft. With nitrous I was going o to 156 in 8.8 seconds in 1320ft....... Car with me in it was 3400lbs, so far lighter than a street car, but I still have my full interior, carpet, headliner, power windows and door locks! But no A/C, no heat, no stereo, and only a 5 gallon fuel cell so it ain't going far! And yes, still has mufflers on it, I don't like my cars to be loud! The electric vehicles are pretty amazing though, like the Teslas. A ton of money also. Several Hypercars have electric drive motors PLUS a real piston-driven engine and put out well over 1000hp with all three going at the same time! But, I am a few hundred thousand dollars short of buying something like that. Would much rather have a Krieghoff shotgun than one of those cars.............

Seems you’re pretty good at finding deals nice score, again

Yes, this is how they build Pole Barns. It is not built like the typical garage, and not taxed as such either! To build this size structure on-site with footings/slab/lumber/sheathing/siding/shingles,etc.... would easily hit $125k. I should be around $70-$75k all-in. Concrete slab, apron, 4v4 pads outside of the man-doors will be done in two weeks, then time for lift installations!

Interesting, they put the whole structure up before pouring the slab?

Escaped Central Jersey and moved to Southern Jersey where I could finally have some elbow room! Went from a 40x120 lot to a 7 acre lot, finally have ALL my toys in one place! Been working on a new pole barn which is 40x60, yes, half the size of my ENTIRE LOT at the old homestead! Can't work on the race cars yet until I have the concrete floor poured, but been working on outside lighting in the meantime. I did not build the structure, I just watched!

Finishing up a restoration on this beauty. My dad passed this down to me, he bought it back in 71 new. Gonna be a great keepsake.

Getting to old and broken for this low stuff. I bang my head every time and contort myself to get in and out. Told if she can drive it, I’m fine with it. She made her bed. She traded in her ‘17 Escape. I’ll stick to my truck. On the other hand, always a good reason to get rid of the pony for a new Bronco...

Not gonna happen. Goya is huge. A few thousand useful idiots boycotting won't even be a blip on the radar. There are at least as many gringos that eat Goya as there are illegal aliens here. I'm going to watch Goya stock. If it goes down significantly, I'm going to buy. It's sad when they eat their own. In any case, I've been supporting Goya for decades. Best dry and canned beans, and the seasoned rice dishes in a box are tits.

That's why I said, "Even I..." Contrary to popular belief, I do own some bottom-feeders, although they are outnumbered in my safe by a ratio of greater than 3:1. I keep them separated so they don't infect my wheelguns. Adios, Pizza Bob

I second The Law Of Self Defense! It's in the third edition. My companion book for that is Massad Ayoob; Deadly Force - Understanding Your Right To Self-Defense Ayoob discusses a number of trials including George Zimmerman to present how the legal system actually works. And last but not least You Have The Right To Remain Innocent by James Duane. Possibly the most valuable $5 you will ever spend. He also talks about this subject on YouTube. (And he's faster than a TV talking head.) When I introduce anyone to firearms and they tell me they intend to use them for self defense I recommend this trilogy. What happens to you at a trial can be much worse than what happens during a shooting.

I had a really good Taylor Ham n cheese on a hamburger bun recently, and I think I prefer that over a roll. Or was thread drift about shotguns for a few posts OK now?

Nice score!!! And how is it that you’ve reloaded anything yet??

He just pinged me on the Ouija board. It's true. But it was turbo AIDS, thou.
