Makes me think I missed something last time I was bitching about ammo! Did I? Ken

Still waiting........ Getting really pissed. Missing much of my clay shooting season. Ken

I know I post this too often but I finally found some! Cheyanne mountain has the 40gr blue tip in stock at this moment. I tried to buy all they have but they kept me to 5 boxes. The price sucks at $33 per box but its all you can find rite now. Just thought Id share. Ken

If you make any attempt to chain it people will generally look for an easier target. I have been telling people to chain it to their car rim or hitch on the trcuk if they have nothing better. The people that still trust their fellow man to leave thing alone that dont belong to them are the ones getting their generators stolen. One thing Ive learned from this storm is that people suck bad. I have lost a lot of faith in my fellow man around here in the last few days. I wasnt really a trusting individual to start with either. Ken

A simple solution for ANYONE running a generator near there home.....Get a good CO detector that runns on batteries. There have been deaths around me from people and generators. If the porch is all screen it is probably OK as long as there is NO open doors or windows and the porch is not in a corner where it has no airflow. Be safe Ken

Been through it today. You poor planning does not create my emergency. Sorry buddy, go wait in the 4 hour line with everyone else. Ken

There where a few individuals at the local home depot that would wait to get a generator then sell it for 3 times the price in the parking lot. I think those types that price gouge the desperate should be hung by their pinky toes and beaten like a drum. Ken

I got a generator. I have few of them being a contractor and all...LOL! Seriously though, I have a 2 year old son that would not understand why its cold in the house and his food is different. We keep a couple weeks worth of food and sonme longer term storrage type food as well. When they forcast crazy weather I just go fill the 100 gallon transfer tank in the bed of my truck. The power has never been off long enough to burn that much diesel. Whatever doesnt go into the generator will just go into the truck and other equipment anyway. That 100 gallons of diesel is the only reason I have been able to continue working around here the last 18 hours or so. You cant get diesel or gas anywhere rite now. The one thing Im going to change is that I will get some plywood. That would have been handy to prevent some of the chaos that resulted from a broken window. Now I just have to worry about all the people that are not going to be happy without power and start acting bad. Its already beginning. Ken

Still waiting.......... Bastards! Ken

You are not gonna get the velocity to reach ot 600 yards with a 308 with lead. I dont care how you load it. It will turn into a mess. With pistols it may be different but with rifles your gonna have problems. Ken

I think I know what you are talking about now. The rechargeable inverters are really just about useless. They can not run anything larger than 60-100watts for very long. They also lack any surge rating at all. That means that they cant start anything other than resistive loads. Anything with a motor in it wont run so dont plan on using it to run a sump pump or fridge. I hope everyone here weathers this storm ok with minimal losses. Ken

What do you mean by charger? Most inverters wont charge anything by themselves. You can plug a charger into it for phones and things like that. You cant charge the battery its running on with it, that would be a perpetual motion machine and they dont exist. There are some very high end inverter systems that will maintain a battery bank (Clary is one company) but you will shell out some serious coin for one of these. Ken

The easiest way to cover a generator is to lay a sheet of plywood over in the direction to keep a bulk of the rain out of it. Generator running in the pouring rain = short life of the generator of electrocution. I also have a Miller Bobcat that I use for power on occasion and I would recommend against running it in the poring rain also. Ken

Dam... I wouldnt do that to one of my customers (new or repeat). I cant tell you how many times I told someone to cal JCP&L or PSE&G because that is where their problem was. I usually cherge someone $20 fur me to get lunch when this happens. You most likely had a bad connection on the neutral that can be figured out pretty quick, Next time, call me. Ken

Exactly. This is why I cant get 5.7x28 anywhere! Any law enforcement agency that uses the FNH can get it with minimal difficulty. Hopefully someone other than fiocchi will start making this caliber. Rumor has it that american eagle (federal) is going to. Ken

Congratulations! my wife didnt shoot when we got married, I fixed that last year! You are a step ahead of where I was. Best of Luck Ken

No reinvention here... I also like Tetra grease where required. I have several thousand rounds through a few AR's and have never found the need to use anything other than hops gun oil in the orange squeeze bottle. If you clean em rite you dont need anything else. Ken

I do love this pistol but,... It is a pain in the ass to take apert and clean. I have very hard time getting the main spring back together without getting the hammer strut in the rite way. I tried youtube videos and all the other info i can find. It is possible to get this thing put together the wrong way and you can not disassemble it again once this is done. Im not a newbie with guns either. I can strip, clean, and reassemble anyof my other guns in the dark and not have a problem. The MkIII defies my logic. If I where to buy another 22 pistol tomorrow I would buy it again. Its a great shooter. Just a **** to clean the way I clean guns. Taking it apart is easy, cleaning it is easy, putting it back together is a PITA. Ken

That is my favorite flow chart. My wife emailed me that back when she was still my girlfriend, it still holds true! Ken

We shoot em at the farm all the time. The little gourds blow up better though Ken

Made me blow beer out of my nose when I read this! Ken

I could not dissagree more. My son is only 2 rite now but he will grow up with the proper knowledge about firearms. When you look into gheto statistics things are different. If you are a responsible parent its perhaps not "more safe" but is no more dangerous either Ken

FWIW, the guys that spend a lot of time with jams dont clean their guns rite. I can shoot anything out of any of my AR's without a problem. You just have to understand that they need to be cleaned and oiled. Also, cheap mags will create feed issues as well. Guns that dont cycle steel cased ammo well usually will after you get a decent magazine. At least thats what my personal experience has taught me. Ken

Hmm. Just learned something new! i would have thought something was wrong too if I didnt know that. Ken

HAHAHA!!!! Ken
