Shocker

I don’t want to sell you mine either but Z-Grills get good reviews and Bezos will ship them to your door when traeger’s patents expired it seems a lot of low cost high quality copies hit the market

I compete with the M&P version of the G19 - it’s the injun not the bow. On a related note the G19 is a CCP in IDPA so you don’t shoot against G17 and bigger (SSP) unless you want to. Nor against carry optics either.

I’ve been looking for a 29er on Craigslist...people are asking over retail for USED bikes! Guess I’ll try again in the spring... ETA: I have spare 26” tubes if peeps need them...

I only looked briefly but it seems Optics Planet has at least Lee sets as of 7/2

My old lady’s construction company gets them from traffic control companies: http://www.trafficsafetyservice.com https://www.trafficplan.com maybe they have some rejects you could have

“Patriots’ Path” when quarantine is lifted?

Do you have access to the original prints for your house and you’re wondering if the information will support an addition? They should. or are you asking will the town require you to put footing detail in the prints you submit? Yes. or maybe it’s something else

Is your problematic ammo round nose? I had a Springfield that would give me issues with anything but round nose - no matter Cobra, Wilson or Springfield mags. It went back to Springfield who tried polishing the ramp and tuning the extractor but I’d still get a 3-point jam maybe 1 in 100 rounds.

Federal is the softest that’s why the gamers with the reduced power striker and hammer springs love them.

For small orders of powder, Midway is doing free shipping over $49 currently and that covers powder/primers - just $12 for hazmat. I needed only a lb of a specific rifle powder so I threw in a spare magazine in my cart even buying components in bulk i usually can’t the beat the cheapest factory ammo but I use plated or coated bullets in pistol. I do it bc I can tailor the loads for rifle I make match ammo for the price of garbage ammo so I guess that’s a win but still not really saving me $$$ ETA: I also have a .222 which is hard to find good ammo. That’s a different story for reloading

I try powder valley first (they have H4350 rn, btw) and go from there. They’re constantly restocking and they haven’t raised prices, although market forces would say they should. If you follow them on FB you’ll get notice when popular stuff comes in online just order enough to justify the hazmat surcharge

Claimed Needs a new rope but the pulley is present. 225# rating, 32’ total, 29’ working length, 24’8” max standing height (I don’t quite get that math, that’s just what’s on the label) it was here when we moved in, I don’t need two. Basking Ridge. Come get it.

CNJFO reposted this the other day. Pretty brutal.

My 15-rounders (.40 cal) have an internal block to limit to 10. It’s just a post that stops the follower and attaches to the inner lock plate. that would work with any baseplate out there, as long as the baseplate is not removable or some other method that the block is not removable of course that would have to be done out of state or have an FFL do it

I haven’t bought anything but perused Lou’s in Somerville a few times. Really nice dudes there

Reactive armor requires significant base armor behind it, the ERA tile going off would kill its own tank otherwise. So the combo of base armor and ERA is too heavy for anything but a main battle tank. now back to the regularly scheduled riot gear discussion...

CLAIMED Pick up that compressor also being offered here from @Malsua and then use this thing! Lol says it’s rated for 625 ft-lb. max pressure 90lb. I don’t know the required CFM but it’s decently high, maybe 6.0 or so i thought I’d use this for car work but I’m not running air lines to my garage. This appears a bit dirty from the toolbox but it’s honestly only been used maybe twice pick up in Basking Ridge

I heard an interesting podcast, comparing ammo to toilet paper. They’re both sold out now but the manufacturers are not really in a position to expand capacity (hiring, tooling, more shifts) because even though the demand is high the usage is not keeping up. so people are stockpiling and when the panic subsides we’ll have gluts of ammo and TP and unless we shoot (and shit) a LOT we will all stop buying those things, at least temporarily, and the mfrs will have to idle their equipment or sell at a loss if I were trying to stay in business in the long term I might not be trying to increase my capacity now either. I know that whatever I can get out the door is going to be sold.

I like the cleaning powder Guntap sells. No foam, no spots, no tarnish. Probably costs a bit more than Dawn + Lemishine but for low volume reloaders I recommend it

I like Peet’s House Blend, my wife likes Major Dickason so we compromise and drink Major Dickason. It’s dark but sooo rich and not bitter. Peet’s is a hard left Cali company which...ehh...but it’s good coffee When I was with BRCC I did Beyond Black

I subscribed for a while and IMHO the coffee was good but not great. I currently have some really good stuff that runs about $13/lb so the BRCC stuff at $17/lb (that isn’t even as good) didn’t make sense unless I was solely doing it to support the company.

Last I saw Bullseye Tactical had some (stripped at least, not sure about complete) but they were asking some insane amount

Echoing @High Exposure Ballistic gel is a test and nothing more and the standards are as much politics as science. The army doesn’t even use 10% gel at all. Shooting someone bladed away from you? You have to perforate arm muscle and a few bones before anything vital so 10” is not enough. Shoot someone in the head or neck? 10” Is probably too much and you’re hitting the neighbors. but if everyone standardizes on the FBI requirements at least you can make comparisons
