Taylor ham!B)

I want to shoot everyday! Had people with kids in cold houses unfortunately. Had to make them warm and my wallet fat! Next time.

I have nothing to worry about then. I'm lactose intolerant, and Mrs. Deerslayer force's me to eat gluten-free when I'm home. No bread an milk in my house lol... it's venison on the grill for us!

Game preserves can set their own rules to a degree, there privately owned and stocked. Big difference between there and state land. But I agree it's a stupid rule in some ways.

That works. I got a 10K honda, converted it to propane, got 2 100 lb cylinders, runs the whole house. I can burn wood as a back up if all else fails. Being a plumber I also built a hand pump for my well I can fit between my pitiless adapter down in the well casing if I have to. But that's only if we had a long term outage of more than 3 weeks, and I couldn't get gasoline or propane. My boat is also in the driveway with 200 gal of stored fuel worst case scenario.

If that will heat your entire home than your set. My house is too big for my stove to heat more than half the house. And it doesn't turn on my well pump, or hot water heater. It's a generator for me...

Wood stove is a great idea, you can use a generator for your heating system, just have to be vigilant about voltage drops. Shut the unit off before killing the generator, and you should be fine. Also let the generator ramp up to full power before turning on the heat.

Exactly what not to do if you stumble upon a bear lol. Never run or you wind up like Darsh Patel.

I love the day's after a big storm. I spend days running around replacing expensive computer controls on boilers and furnaces that burned up. People think it's ok to let the generator run out of gas while the heating system is still on. $$$$$$$$$$ for me! This is my favorite type of repair, clean, easy to diagnose, and I make a ton on markup of parts. Just saying... I wouldn't be warning you all if I didn't like you...

Any good autoparts story will usually have a good selection of roll pins as well. Usually where I get mine from. My local NAPA has drawers full of them. Cool Part of that is you can select what you want instead of buying an assortment with 50 pins you will never use. I like buying what I need for a few cents each.

Looks good, I'm digging it. Nice job modernizing it for your intended purpose. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for these rifles, probably why I own so many of them. You should really consider a barrel strut. It greatly improved my grouping when I added one.

Probably not going to make it, I'm out doing service calls still.

Very nice this is what I'm going for, very similar. Thanks to everyone for posting, I'm looking at using some ideas from almost all these benches posted above.

There's 9" where I'm at. Nice to hear there's less down that way.

Will do. It's a really fun day, other than carrying all the equipment out into the middle of the woods lol. Definitely cool holding the cubs. When we dart the sow.

Thinking about setting up a newer larger bench in the garage 26' long, one side for building rifles and cleaning, the other end for reloading. It beats the mess I'm working with right now. Just trying to get some ideas from everyone else here. Before I build or buy anything.

^^^ yes that's how the law reads.

Yep. My personal favorite below

Exactly, you already shelled out $22 for the permit/background check. No reason to pay again unless your buying brand new.

Sunday February 1st at 9:30 am is the next new member orentation at Cherry Ridge. In order to join you have to become a "shooting" member of ANJRPC, being a member of anjrpc is a good idea even if your not joining for the range, they are one of the largest in state 2nd amendment advocacy groups we have here. It's a good thing to support them. For a little more $ you get the family range membership as well, as a bonus. It's half of what I pay to shoot at the indoor range I'm a member of, and way larger. Here's the range schedule and other information describing the different ranges there. Pistol range, shotgun, 100 yd rifle, and 200-300 yard high power rifle. http://www.anjrpc.org/?Range_schedule I'm planning on joining as a shooting member myself, probably on the Feb 1st orentation. They are always the first Sunday of each month.

Thanks! I see the BCG has a hinged penis on the back that hits the cervix, I mean the buffer... pretty slick engineering...

I want to say Friday the 13th, but check GFH website or Nappen's site for confirmation.

You can use whatever your comfortable with, but if your a serious competition trap or sporting clay shooter the longer barrel will give you an accuracy advantage. My 686 is a 29.5", 30" with the extended chokes. I personally shoot just as good with a 28", I don't notice any difference. Maybe there's a slight margin of greater accuracy. If your going out for an informal clay shoot once a month, use whatever it's for fun. As long as you enjoy yourself the day was a success Reguardless of if you broke 1.7% more clays because of 2 extra inches of barrel. Just my .02 Actually I can kick some ass with a Mossberg 500 JIC too. It's not the gun it's the strategy you use when wielding it.

I think I saw a bolt action AR with a traditional rifle stock someplace. They were claiming 50 state legal. I would like to see how the buffer works on that model in the picture above. Is it on a downward angle somehow?

Dude this is crazy talk! Next time that happens return them to where you bought them, mags aren't free. Ask for non felonious mags in return, that's definitely a legitimate request.
