18 months for shooting
Nobody thought you would ever be pinched for an unpinned stock in your own basement. But It did. Never say never

Clueless about fiber optic

Clueless about fiber optic
So i have two long guns with the front sight a fiber optic. It's the kind that is like a small piece of spaghetti. So it's not night sight it's not a night glow. It's just a sporting front sight. What do you do with these things over the years? Do they fade? Are they supposed to fade? Do they actually produce a glow or do they just capture light better. ?

Solar?
Make your solar decision not based on any ideas getting "credit" when you are not using the grid. The old "you are giving them your power". In Hawaii for example they are trying to introduce legislation that is excluding that. Homeowners are freaking. "I am generating excess power and I am still getting a bill!?!" It is insane, why would you penalize self sufficient homes, but this is the society we live in. I'm fascinated with Elon Musk power wall battery. If I had my dream house I would have that.

SKD Tactical 48HR Deal: PIG Alpha Touch Gloves
Anybody try wide receiver football gloves? I use them for shotgun and been very happy. I haven't tried with pistol yet I wonder if the stickiness will impede loading mags. I'm not doing gloves to appear "tacti-cool". I've been using the gloves totally just for lead/dirt/grime exposure. Ever since having a a baby you kinda notice what your hands touch. I will tell you it's pretty good getting In the car after shooting and not having your hands reek like powder.

so all this talk about clay shotguns..
Well I already bought a 686 over under after I got two semi autos. Now don't really need one of them. But boy I will tell you the semis shoot very sweet. I wouldn't say I "love" shooting the OU better than 391.... Im sorta just making myself want to like the OU better. 1) cleaning is a snap. And 2) I've been to a club twice that only allows OUs. So I'm really trying to make the OU work. It's just better in the long run. The cleaning, the takedown, pressing the bolt release each time, going out of your way to let people know your gun is safe. The OU is just simple. I have no regrets at all about diving into the sport with a beretta semi though.

I just listed my Beretta AL391 for sale in the marketplace.. if you were looking for an auto loader the 391 is iconic. some say the softest shooter ever made. (Although Howard has shot it and he didn't have a comfortable afternoon.. but I just think he was shouldering it wrong.. ha ha). I used this gun for clays, its in awesome condition and very very clean.

Oregon mom's online posts
So lots of juicy posts from Oregon mom in the past about guns. The articles say "posts online from an account linked to her email address". So you think investigators or media just googled her email address and her prior postings turned up because somewhere in the past she posted her email address? Or do you think the investigators have a way of finding anonymous postings via the hidden email behind it? Or let me cut to the chase: I will just pick a random name here. If Carl-G (sorry bro) went psycho... But Carl NEVER EVER posted his email address on this site, but they got a hold of his email address can they link it to this site? I was just wondering what "online postings from an email linked to her" meant. I mean I know if the Feds seize the computer they know all. But I doubt they took moms computer.

Possible suicide at RTSP
The guy who flew the plane into the mountain took out more innocent people than any guy renting a gun at a range to kill himself. Suicide by airplane innocent victims? 235. Seattle High school sophomore Suicide innocent victims? 5. Suicide gun range innocent victims ZERO.

Howard Leight Impact Pro
This will be thread drift here. But I've seen a lot of videos of pro shotgun shooters and their stocks never hit their muffs. Know why? Because they are not tilting their head SIDEWAYS to get the cheek weld. They bring the gun up tp their face, not the cheek down to the gun. I've been working on getting the gun more on my CHEST instead of the collar bone area so I don't have to tilt the head sideways thus knocking the muffs.

Why not just undo the screw, Move the stock to the length you want. Mark the spot. Drill a new hole through the tube. Replace screw. Done.

Just hope you don't get shot fiddling with a shiny metallic device in your hand when he walks up.

You put the plugs in and then put the electrix muff over it and then turn the volune way up You hear instructions perfectly that way.

9mm subsonic
Someone just remind me quick for 9mm only. (Not 223). Which would have more over penetration risk? The fast 115 or the slow 147? Talking HD scenario? Yes of course make sure it cycles your gun.

9mm subsonic
Is there a noticeable decibel difference? No, I'm not asking if you don't need ear protection. I know that answer will be still needed.

9mm subsonic
Just watched hickok45 run subsonic 9mm through an Uzi. I'm disappointed with myself I didn't even know it existed. I don't think I have ever heard subsonic discussed here. Now discuss it and educate me. Why? Why not? Applications? (hd, range). Is it lethal?

Beretta help..
Can you get a beretta shotgun at cost? Better "investment" if that's what your intention is.

Sig MPX
Was watching a video review. He said "you can't put any kind of grip up here otherwise it becomes an SBR." (He lives in PA by the way) A handgrip configuration determines SBR loopholes? What did he mean by that? Also, if Rifle evil features were neutered on this gun would it be NJ legal or do we have other restraints too.?

Dumpster Rental in Monmouth Co.
When I wanted a dumpster for a couple days it was a disaster too. What I found was the best was a situation where I didn't get an actual dumpster. Instead I for the guy to pull up with his truck and we threw Everthing into it while he waited. Yes, I had a pile of debris in my driveway for a week before the arrival day. But I saved like half price. So don't think dumpster. Think rubish removal.

1911 Buying Spree
Round butt is the grip? I think the sirations (spelling?) on the E series with the matching on the grip is sick. Just wish the other side had less roll marks. When I get a 1911 my quest would be for lesser roll marks.

To repair or not?
Don't cringe when I suggest this. But check out craigslist for a TV. I know. I know. But here is the thing, people are constantly upgrading their TVs. All you read is "works great, just bought bigger one." As I converted all the TVs in my house from old boxes to new boxes I bought the 3 other room flatscreens all off craigslist for 50% off. Never had a problem. Obviously make sure the TV is on before you hand over the cash... And actually tell them you want it already on when you walk into the room. I know some people are cringing, and I'm the last person on the planet that would be considered "cheap". But I'm telling you with this piece of equipment people dump quality at low prices.
