NJGF, learn me on Televisions
What Krdshrk said. refresh rate is where its at. The higher the refresh rate the smoother the fast action scenes are. Also consider viewing angle. The higher the viewing angle the better. With LED TV's and LCD TV's when you get off center on them the picture goes all weird. Just try looking at your laptop from an angle and you will see what I mean. I am also in the TV market rite now. I am looking to replace my 7 year old 42" plasma. Ken

Does anyone local do shotgun barrel work?
You guys gotta take it easy on lowslowmiata. Its his shotgun to do with as he pleases. I asked all the guys I deal with and nobody wants to cut the rib off. At this point maybe you should do it yourself. I would imagine that it could be done with a dremel and some patience. Once you get it off there are a lot of shops that will refinish it. As long as you dont cut too much off the shop that refinishes it can clean it up. Ken

Eezox

geissele trigger
Any trigger upgrade is worth it. I have a stag model 3 that I always thought had a decent trigger. I got the FAR15 with the geissele and now I cant shoot the stag anymore! The trigger on that lower feels like it has sandpaper in it when fired after the FAR. As soon as money allows the stag will get an upgrade as well. Ken

Cleaning and maintenance of Dies
The first scratch I get in the brass is when I clean em. I size after cleaning the cases usually but not always if they looked really clean to begin with. I take the die apart and put it in a heated ultrasonic cleaner with a little Lyman gun parts cleaner in it. Once its cleaned I will rinse it in hot water and put it under a heatlamp til dry. Once dry I usually coat them with liquid wrench DFL or Eezox and put em away. Ken

Why I despise the USPS!
I guess Im fortunate. I know my carriers personally. They will call me if they have something big because they know it could be expensive or firearm related. Usually Ill just tell them what neighbor to leave it with or throw it on my porch. The post office though, thats a big problem. They flat suck! Ken

Any Classic Car experts? 40s Chevy
I would not call myself an expert but I think it looks mostly correct based on others I have seen and fairly intact. It looks like a decent car to do a beautiful restoration on. As for price, I have no idea what its worth. I suppose you can consider it like a firearm, its worth whatever someone will pay for it. Ken

Happy Thanksgiving 2022
Why not, a large soda is in new york... Sadly enough, a lot of that silliness really could happen. Not all of it, not quite like that, but the government will keep taking until the people rise up. Thats why they only take a little at a time so that the majority of the sheeple dont notice. Ken

Black Friday Nuts...

Black Friday Nuts...
And this is why I try not to buy a dam thing until Monday. Wednesday before thanksgiving is the last time for shopping until the Monday after the weekend is over. WTH is wrong with people anymore? Freaks! Ken

Some Good Crime News for North-Jersey
In countries where dealing is a crime punishable by death there are very few using drugs. That is a war on drugs! The revolving door legal system we have here does nothing to deter. A lot of these people are just about as happy in jail as on the street. Jail is not a deterrent anymore Ken

And yet one more generator thread.
Use and interlock device like posted in the second link on the second reply. Otherwise, do exactly like above. With the interlock device it is impossible to hurt anyone or anything. I have fixed more than a few generators that where accidentally exposed to line voltage. The interlock prevents this from happening. Ken

Its a nice piece of steel! Thanks for sharing your search for a good steel target with the rest of us. Ill post some pics after its been punished at the range. Ken

Cleaning frequency
A lot of cleaning bepends on what you are shooting. TMJ, Copper plated, molly coated, lead..... As for me, I clean my ARs after every range trip. I might not do a total disassemble cleaning but I will at least clean and lube the bolt. I cant stand malfunctions! On any match barrel gun I have I will clean the bore after a range trip. I find that I get better accuracy that way. For 22's, every time a bulk box of 525 is gone I clean them good. 22's are the dirtiest things out there. Ken

Remeington Versamax forend nut wont stay tight
Final update: I got my shotgun back last week and hit the range today. After about 100 target loads there is a lot of busted clay and a tight foerend nut! WoooHooo!!! I looks like they changed the tube, nut, and the forend stock. All good now. Ken

5.7 x 28 ammo availability
I would but I really enjoy the fiveseven. It is a great pistol to shoot. You can really reach out and touch a target with it. I put a hole in a washing machine at about 90 yards. My .40 only puts big dents in it at that distance. It also takes quite a few more shots to hit it. I shot at it five times with the fiveseven and hit it twice. Took 10 with the 40 to hit it once. Ken

How I drowned my sorrows......
I think I have reloaded about 2000 rounds in the last month or two. I still have about 3000 more to go til I run out of brass, powder, primers, and boolits! That on top of my stockpile of factory ammo. That reminds me, I gotta get more powder, primers, and boolits! Ken

Anyone else noticing an increase in gun arguments?
I have had more than enough pro/anti discussions in the last 2 weeks to last a lifetime. I think the storm brought a lot of it on. Ken
