To Vacuum Seal Ammo Or Not?
My theory for the hand warmer was to create a small enough vaccuum from the oxygen consumption that an ammo can would seal like a mason jar. It sounds nifty IMHO, but most likely not effective.

Powder coating wheels
I would think anything that would take out Plastidip, would take out aluminum. Suggestion: use many coats. It is much easier to peel when thick. What color are you going with? Flat silver? Edit: Advance carries a fair amount of colors now.

Powder coating wheels
In all honesty, look into Plastidip.

Rigging a headset
The headphone plug is four sections, and the splitter plugs are both three. My uneducated guess is that the orientation of my headset is backwards from what the PC uses. I know there are two standards.

Emergency fridge...
Ever consider looking at your neighbors houses within a five minute walk radius? Approaching someone who has a set of solar panels on their roof may be an option. While having panels doesn't make one a charity giver, I don't think it is unreasonable to ask if they can store some of your wifes insulin if the power goes out. I don't know how much insulin one stores, but if you kept a weeks worth and had them store the rest it may be a good idea. Just an option, a backup if anything.

Rigging a headset
I need some audio guru advice. I would like to use a Xbox One headset for PC gaming. The headset has one cable only. My computer does not support running the mic/audio playback through one port, so I ordered a $2 splitter on Ebay. With Mic plugged into Mic, and output plugged into output, I have sound in only my right ear. With the plugs switched, I have sound in my left ear only, and the mic works then. What can I do? Is there anything configurable software wise, or should I buy another adapter to change the speaker plug orientation? The headset works fine as headphones only as-is, but the mic does not work.

+1 for Dunkelbergers
So.. They were the Neville Chamberlain to Bloombergs Hitler. Still not okay with me. I'm sure DeBlasio could bully them into it if he wanted to.

+1 for Dunkelbergers
I go to the Stroudsburg one a lot. Nice people, bad prices, bad cooperation with Bloomberg. I won't buy a firearm from them because I don't want my information sent to NYC. You also get a lot of weirdos there. Love the used gun rack.

Does eliminating this iconic symbol achieve anything? (or What's this world coming to?)
I would think that by the time you get them the fad will be over.

8M3 "effect" 7.62x39 124gr HP at $0.26 a round
$260 Shipped for 8M3 at Luckygunner. I confirmed with LG (nice people btw) and bought a case. It IS the elusive Uly ammo, as those sneaky ruskies tend to ship whatever bullets they want. http://www.luckygunner.com/7-62x39mm-124-gr-hp-tulammo-1000-rounds

What are you doing with 25 Confederate flags? Making a Confederate sailboat?

Anyone reload 5.56?
"then let them eat cake!" That is enough 4895 for at least 13,440 rounds of 223. I'll never fire that much in my life!

Truck pulling while braking?
I'm not quite sure to be honest. I limped it home and avoided braking on the highway, and it didn't pull off highway.

Truck pulling while braking?
Has anyone ever heard of a car/truck pulling to one direction while at highway speeds only? It seemed like my trusty F150 was nosediving a bit and pulling right while lightly braking on 80. Limped it home, and I was flooring the brake doing 40 to test it and nothing seemed amiss then. Very strange. The truck had new pads/rotors and drums/shoes put in maybe 20k ago. The calipers have the old style pins that you drive out with a punch. The truck turns 22 this week, so I'm not grumpy about it. I will go over my brakes this weekend, but I find it odd it stopped fine off highway..

Forty eight? Christ. I've been looking for 8lbs at a fair price. Save some for the rest of us

M16 racks
How much was it? The guys on the retro section of Arfcom go crazy over them. I'd love one, but I simply don't have the space.

Magnetic ammo?
The steel is actually less dense. Very few things are more dense than lead, and the only one I know of off the top of my head is tungsten. Anyway, I would suspect that it is the hardness of the steel penetrator that beats up backstops. Lead is obviously very soft, and I've read that M855 uses a very hard steel alloy. Steel commie stuff uses a very mild alloy. Also, most Eastern Bloc ammo uses bimetal jackets that attract a magnet.

Cherry Ridge Proshop question
My grandfather used to shoot in smallbore competitions, and as a kid my dad would usually tag along. Many of these matches were shot at Cherry Ridge in the 60's and 70's. My dad remembers seeing an aluminum sheet that someone placed downrange, and shot an image of an American Indian into using 22LR. As in someone drew it with 22LR and patience. He remembers it hanging in the "proshop" or something like that. Is it still there? Does anyone know what I am rambling about? Anyone have pictures? Thanks!

working away from home??
I'm in a similar boat. I just got out of college, and my current commute is about 70 miles or 1.5 hours in and about two hours to get home. My job isn't terrible, but my next endeavor will definitely be more local (if possible). A 20 minute commute would be nice. Problem is, in this field I could be in Mahwah now then Cape May in winter.

Muzzle Brake vs Flash Suppressor
Are you shooting indoors? 223 is obnoxious indoors, but no louder than anything else outdoors. In fact, it is the quietest centerfire rifle I own probably.
