Tried one. Not bad.

I never understood why people complain that trucks drive like trucks. I worked at a Ford dealer service department so I drove everything from everyone. I've never encountered this phenomenon of trucks having some awful ride on anything made this century. The leaf sprung front end Super Dutys were rough and Raptors drive real mushy but that is it. I'm quite sure that I can hop in a new 3.5 Ecoboost F150 and take my 70 mile commute easy with 20mpg all day. U-Turns do suck though depending on cab/bed. I would rethink bed covers. My dad had one on his old F150 and it was a PITA. We both have tool boxes now and life is good. My biased opinion is there is a reason why Ford dominates the truck market. Also, GM/Fiat make their stuff in Mexico which is a no for me.

You can build it yourself. Most of the commercial rifles mentioned have A2 uppers, A2 stocks, and heavy barrels.

If it's a shotgun.

How much of a PITA are FID apps to your department? How much time does your detective spend on them a week? The drain must be substantial.

No. Us dumb civilians are not responsible enough. Only active duty Law Enforcement Officers are responsible enough. Trayvon was an innocent young man while Mike Brown was a stone cold cop killer.

NYPD determined that training isn't necessary so long as you have a 15lb trigger on your Glock.

Strangely the spring was not broken. I put everything back in place and it seems to work

I have a 14-2 that is not rotating the cylinder unless the muzzle is pointing downward. I removed the side plate and there is no hand spring. Does this model require one? It is odd that I do not have one. Edit: I'm a moron. Took apart my 64-5 and the hand is sprung but I can't see it. I guess the 14 spring is broken and I can't see it

Another creepy story. My grandmother had a platter that is quite old. I'm not sure of it's value but she was rather poor so it meant a lot to her. I was having a conversation with my mom about buying a new platter and retiring the old one. The second I said that a picture of me fell right off the wall and landed face down. Never happened before or since.

They did have a bunch of Isreali surplus Browning A5s. Probably FN. I love surplus crap

Nope. Postwar NATO. Rifle not commonly found on surplus market. Non-American as well.

Nope

Had bundles like this labeled as firewood for $5 sitting outside. I wonder how long it will take to identify these. I also felt bad because there was a Jersey guy trying to buy unobtanium mags but they were >15

Vehicle inspections make me miss New Jersey

How many tanks did you go through on that turkey fryer?

Good news, got about a gallon between the two trees today. Bad news is I noticed FIVE holes in my tree leaking sap. Woodpeckers. The sugar maple too. I wish my old neighbor was here to shoot it while I was at work (sorry fishnut)

When I lived in NJ I brought my 20-something year old F150 in for inspection. OBD1 EFI so they checked my gas caps and said have a nice day. Same deal with carbs. The only car with a carb I ever drove had QQs.

Yes, but making stuff is fun. Hooch, cast boolits, now syrup.

Go shoot clays!

Tapped my trees today. One sugar maple that woodpeckers attack often and an ugly maple. It's too cold today but it will be in the 50s tomorrow. Goal is 1 quart of syrup this year

Plan is to sap my own tree and maybe find one in the woods to steal sap from. I have one maple, one hickory, and probably a dozen oaks. Probably going to sap with PVC and boiling by fire outside

I'm probably going to sap my sugar maple this week and try to make some syrup. Any suggestions?

I'm the second generation using my Rock Chucker FWIW. It skipped my dad and went to me, so technically I'm the third generation on it. I prime on the press. I don't have issues with primer depth as IMHO I have a good feel. I have the gold metal or whatever it's called micrometer dies from RCBS. My COAL varies somewhat wildly. Honestly except for initial setup and feeding through the window there isn't any advantage. One disadvantage I have is I can't use my case kicker.

PPKs are cool but are pricey. I considered a Bersa which at a glance is substantially similar but didn't offer any advantages. AMTs look great but have iffy reliability. Boberg is very interesting, but far out of my range. Thanks for the input guys. Let's keep this going.
