Lessons learned from the CMP
there will be no garands from korea. Expect prices of M1 garands to go skyrocketing in the next 3-4 years. Orest who is the cheif operating officer of the CMP says at current sales volume they have enough M1's to last them another 3 years, 4 max. Once they are gone they are done selling surplus rifles, or so they say.........

Where do you guys buy your reloading stuff for so cheap?
Man some of these numbers are still super high. I'm only on my cell phone but I can reload 9mm 115 gr fmj for 5.50 without trying and .45 avoid lswc for 5.00 both per 50. If I still bought factory ammo I would never shoot and probably would of quit shooting bc of how expensive factory ammo is. Like said already you can easily reload at 1/3rd the cost of factory

Davis Sport Shop
I wouldn't buy a fishing bobber from there, their customer service doesn't even exist. I would buy anywhere else and pay more than to give them my money

Springfield Armoroy Loaded 1911 Trugger issue... Help a Brotha out
I know glenn will approve of this message. For what you spend on a springfield loaded I believe you can spend like another 300-400 and you can get a S&W 1911 Pro series which isn't even in the same category as a springfield loaded 1911. I've learned to buy once, save a little longer, and get what I really want the first time around instead of having to do it over again.

Springfield Armoroy Loaded 1911 Trugger issue... Help a Brotha out
springfield makes some good guns I myself own an XD so I'm not a springfield basher. I just don't think they make very good 1911's is all

Springfield Armoroy Loaded 1911 Trugger issue... Help a Brotha out
My replied are after your statements. Also I will say you are probably the 3rd or 4th person on this forum that has bought a springfield and has had to send it back after the first shooting. I will continue to preach, spend a few extra hundred dollars and get a gun that doesn't have to get sent back for a repair on a brand new gun. You get what you pay for.

91/30 Scope mount
Any scope mount that attaches to the rear sight is going to be a POS imo. You will never get a consistent zero. I know Eric had tried a few and never got any satisfying results. Your best bet is to pick up an ex-sniper mosin, and then re-drill and tap it and put an official scope and mount on there. You will be MUCH happier in the long run. M

Did my good deed for the day.
Minus my man card all you want, I'll stay in my car where it's warm and not get my clothes dirty. I've done my fair share of changing tires, getting a car stuck in 4th gear back over the tappan zee bridge from yankee stadium etc. Now I'm older and wiser and just call the tow truck, theres no need to risk getting hit by a car on a highway no thanks

Anyone into solar power?
jack how big of a house could you completely power with a 3,000 watt system? or could you not power an entire house on that system?
-
Anyone into solar power?
My personal opinion would be looking into a geo-thermal system. If you setup a good enough solar system with the geo-thermal system you could in fact power your entire house without the need to use any electric from the grid. Worse case scenario if the grid goes down even with a smaller solar system, the solar system could still power your heat pumps which would allow you to have constant heat or cooling in your house. Whenever you go to look to start building your new house I would seriously think about talking to a geo-thermal specialist in the matter. My boss put one in his ski house in upstate ny and absolutely loves it. As far as your current situation, I would just get a generator and be done with it. Solar power on a small scale isn't where it should be to be effective IMO.

an s-turn is not a highway given term its a locally given term to a part of highway up in these neck of the woods that looks like an s repeated twice meaning you have switch backs that go right left right left back to back thus creating two s's in the highway. When your young and dumb and have a souped up car, it's fun to race people in said turns at speeds above 90 mph, but then when you grow up and realize how ridiculously dangerous it is, you realize how the hell have you lived this long

yeah 23 south of where I am in pompton plains is closed for sure. What I'm trying to find out is if the s-turns on 23 right after germantown road is closed. Supposedly I heard that they were closed but now I'm hearing no one's heard of this yet. M

Thoughts on few revolvers I plan to shoot...
This is debatable to no end. My smith 686 has a wonderful trigger pull and isn't overly heavy at all. I can shoot that gun better in DA than I can shoot other semi-auto's. Also anyone I've ever handed that gun to has said the same exact thing. The gun is a proven tack driver and with a 6" barrel your getting a longer sight distance which is going to be more forgiving than any semi-auto in a 4" or shorter barrel length as well. On top of all that, you can start the person out in SA and teach them the proper trigger pull technique and once they get that down they can move onto a longer DA trigger pull and this will over emphazise the fact that you need to be consistently smooth in your trigger pull at all times regardless of the gun. I don't think there is truly a perfect first gun. I think the perfect first gun is the gun you pickup and when its in your hands it doesn't feel like it's there because it has become one with you. Thats the perfect first gun, anything outside of that in just extra blah. But I wouldn't suggest a snubbie for a first gun

I work in pompton plains, they have 23 south closed right after my work. We are in the high lands of pompton plains so we'll be ok, but everyone else is getting hammered.
