lol, 75 views and only one response. I don't want to disappoint anyone, so here's a beaver for ya.

I was actually really good at using it, somewhat brilliant at formatting complex tables. The funny thing is, there was nothing actually visual about it, you had to imagine what it would look like. If only I realized that what we did in vi was the precursor to HTML, I would have gone into web development.

Neither vi or EMACS are installed, but they are available, if you are a glutton for punishment. I opened a command prompt in BB and typed in vi and it launched some kind of terminal emulator.

Yeah, those guys at Ubuntu have a good sense of humor. Well, anyway, I'm getting back into Linux and doing an install tonight. It's been a few years since I delved into Linux. Just wondering how many Linux users we have here and looking for tips on good software for it.

Have you looked at Browning's 1911-22?

I'd have walked off and demanded a refund.

Shotgun!

Rosey, you sly fox. I call wing man!

Gosh dude, you are so smart and awesome, we all bow before you and humbly recognize your superiority. Can you go be awesome somewhere else now. you are desperately needed there.

For sure.

I don't think we will be talking the new guy into anything in this thread. As usual, we made it all about us :D

I added a UTG Bulldot green laser to mine. It's basically point and click now. I was tending to shoot low from the hip, this helps eliminate the guess work. https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Instant-Target-BullDot-Compact/dp/B00Y4QPX30

That is nonsense. NiB is nice because it's easier to clean but it does not make the rifle more functional.

Midways hazmat policy. So, if you order 30# of various IMR and Hogdon powders, there should be only 1 hazmat fee.

Have you verified this or are you assuming? It's my understanding that there is a per carton hazmat fee and each carton is limited by weight. Also, not 100% sure, but I think powder and primers have to be shipped in separate cartons. btw, you missed an excellent reloading supply sale a few weeks ago from MIdway USA. Many powders and primers on sale with free shipping and hazmat waved.

Apparently 10K is the kill switch for the Zeker. He's mysteriously gone mute.

What? You mean those are supposed to be words. I thought it was some kind of code, or a drunk monkey got a hold of his keyboard.

Son, sit down, we need to have a talk. Them fancy Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiatos will make your walnuts shrink. You need to be drinking this stuff (see t-shirt below), it puts hair on your chest, and apparently turns you into a Shiva god that hot chicks with gunz just wanna jump on top of. You don't need no fancy gun hate'n, anti 2A, pinko coffee company swill to make you feel special. We love ya no matter what. Now go on you scamp, order some manly freedom luv'n coffee from BRCC and become a superhero.

You will have to decide for yourself if it's worth the trip, but.... Every time I'm at E. H. Soloman's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale, there are always guys from all over NJ and parts of NY there. Gene's shop is like a time machine. When you step through the door, it's like being carried back to the 70's. His prices are great, his knowledge or reloading is formidable and everything is paid for in cash. There is no cash register and no computers there except the laptop they use for running NICS. If you like shooting trap, go on a first or last Sunday of the month and bring your shotgun. His shop hours are limited. but Sunday is the best. Trap from 9 to 1 and the shop opens at 1.

That depends. If we are talking LRN, then yes, he was taken. I've found 22lr SV LRN offered as low as 3.2 cents/rd. But, CCI Mini Mag ( the alleged 22lr gold standard) is still hovering around 7 cents/rd. I have found CCI Mini Mag CPRN at 5.7 Cents /rd, in bulk, but that may as well be 6 cents/rd

One hurdle at a time., we are deprogramming GD. He's not a moron, but, unfortunately, he is afflicted with progressive bleeding heart disease. Hopefully, we can cure that.

I believe GD has come to understand that reloading 22lr is stupid and impractical.

GD, I am as about pro 2A as you will find. For a long time I had a problem with the NRA, not because they promoted baby killing (and you know they really don't) , but that they viewed NJ as a lost cause. I felt that my membership fees were not being directed where it would do the most good for me. I also did not like that NRA membership was required as a prerequisite to joining most clubs in NJ. It kinda felt like a mafia protection racket. In the end, when I did a comprehensive analysis of what the NRA does, it seemed stupid to not be a member. Every range that you enjoy shooting at gets it's insurance through the NRA because it's politically risky for any other commercial insurance company (bunch of pussies) to underwrite a gun range. So keep this in mind, the only reason you can shoot at ANY range is because the NRA insures them. Were it not for the NRA, yo would have to go to PA to shoot. Whether you like it or not, if you shoot guns in NJ, you are a beneficiary of the NRA. While the NRA does little for NJ, they do a lot at the national level. If you enjoy shooting any semi-auto rifle, you have the NRA to thank for that. I could go on but I;m tired. I'll end this post like this, Think for yourself jackass, put some effort into your conclusions to ensure your conclusions are actually yours, go beyond feelings and apply some logical effort to your decision making process.
