I think the same thing, except in my case they ran out of non-corrosive primers and used corrosive ones instead....probably to complete the order. No one will know the difference, at least until you shoot it. I have no issue with leaving the guns sit after shooting "rem-fed-chester" loads, and even stuff from Rio or Aguila; but anything Russian, Chinese, or the old "soviet block" nations? I *will* clean right after shooting their stuff.

They're like potato chips....you cant have just one.

It was 7.62 x 39 tula re-packaged as "Herter's" - Cabela's store brand. I got nowhere complaining to Cabela's. They would only say that "non-corrosive" meant it wouldn't eat thru the cartridge case. Seriously....

I second the warning about Russian ammo. I had a problem where the packaging plainly said 'non-corrosive', yet the bolt and chamber formed rust just like corrosive ammo would cause, after being left for a few days without cleaning.

Was in Dick's Sporting Goods earlier today - This 8-gun safe is on-sale for $199.97. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=66575356&cp=4406646.4413993.4414427.4414433&categoryId=11484400&fg=Number%20of%20Guns

Frustrating video - 3-5 minutes of content; with the remaining 10-12 minutes nothing but advertisement and rehash

Ouch - I would think that the WaWa's, as highly monitored locations, would be relatively safe from the skimmers. These things are much more prevalent on gas pumps in states where 'pump your own' is the rule.

One other thought - the gun cabinets sell fast when listed here. You can start with one, then sell it when you move out of the mobile home.

Have you looked at the lock-up cabinets? Walmart has a bunch of them, starting at about $100. http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=gun%20cabinet I've posted this here and on other sites several times.....my thoughts on sheet metal cabinets versus gun safes: Its all about threat levels, and what is your goal in protection. If your goal is to keep the kids (and the teenage "opportunistic" thieves) out of the guns, one of those sheet metal cabinets is more than sufficient - they aren't going to even try to open the door. If you are trying to protect from the typical 'smash and grab' thief, a cabinet is also more than sufficient - it will slow them down considerably, and they want to get "in and out" as fast as possible. If you are trying to protect against an organized bunch that is bent on getting into your stuff; well, it depends. Is the typical thief going to have enough time to cut thru the lock/door without interruption, or enough time, ability and cover to rip it off the wall and carry it to a waiting pickup truck? If so, then you need a bigger/heavier safe. If not, then one of the metal cabinets will suffice. Having said all that.....I've used the Homak version of your Stack-On 8-rifle with the Pistol Cabinet bolted on top for years....if you take the foam barrel rest out and replace it with a piece of felt or something else that's soft, and put some of your rifles/shotguns muzzle down, you can get a LOT more than 8 in there.

because we're pissed off at the current administration...yet we all love a bargain!

I asked for them to stop; and they did.

With this last round of BS, it might be time to upgrade. W2MC - Currently Endowment Life

Basically emulating the "Buck and Ball" load from the Civil War, Cabela's has Multidefense Shotshells — What they call "The ultimate knockdown power with a 0.65" round lead ball, backed by six No. 1 buckshot pellets" http://www.cabelas.com/product/shooting/ammunition/shotgun-ammunition%7C/pc/104792580/c/104691780/sc/104567580/herter-s-reg-defense-shotshells/1555113.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fshotgun-ammunition%2Fherters%2F_%2FN-1100191%2B1000003627%2FNe-1000003627%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104567580%3FWTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNU Haven't fired any. but I am curious how they perform. Currently on sale; $5.99 for a box of ten.

Oops..you're right, he did.

Also to consider....wetland waterfowl and lead pellets do NOT go together well...

From previous conversations, most folks already know that 'W2MC' is my amateur radio callsign

I've found modified to work best with most buckshot, but some do better with full or improved cylinder. Gotta test to see if you like the pattern you are getting. 2. Can shotgun ammo be resold? List it here...most likely *someone* will buy it

Or just LAZY

This ^^^^^^^

I dunno....not all of us are into this "Glock" thing

Amateur Radio

Interesting...I've been using Virgin for years, and this deal looks noticeably better than theirs. On the same system (Sprint).

Virgin Mobile also has had iPhones in the recent past. Check Craigs List - they pop-up fairly frequently over there, too.

It is "illegal' without proper licensing and authorization. Has it been done? Of course it has. The bigger question is "why do you want to transmit on those frequencies in the first place?" Are you otherwise authorized, for example a fireman who's also ham operator and wants to mostly listen to his department, but might find the need to transmit at some point - you know, 'Hey Chief, its blowing out the back of the building!" or something like that? ***It's still illegal*** if he isn't covered by the FD license, and especially so if his radio is a modified ham radio that isn't "Type Accepted" for that radio service....but realistically, if he doesn't advertise what he's doing, who's going to know? Most of these guys get into trouble when they buy a couple dozen amateur radios and modify them to go out of their current range and onto other, unauthorized frequencies. Someone is either going to do something foolish, like set them up on some "secret" frequency -- i.e. go onto an unauthorized frequency (like the amateur bands) and start using it, or blab what they're doing to the wrong person (like the guy who sells the department their radios), who then alerts the local FCC office. Once the FCC office gets involved, it gets VERY expensive....their "normal" "Notice of Apparent Liability" (NAL) - essentially the fine - usually STARTS in the $20,000 range. But one radio?
