    Snakes while hunting

    Then you'd better steer clear of this story currently making it's rounds on the news wire. https://www.wane.com/dont-miss/dozens-of-rattlesnakes-removed-from-underneath-california-womans-home/

    Legality of arming an aircraft?

    Recall an episode of Wild West Alaska featuring a pair of commercially made vintage strut mounted shotguns used to hunt in Alaska back in the day. They fabricated missing parts to bring them back to operational mode; IIRC they were unable to demonstrate them mounted to a bush plane due to FAA...

    Rumor: Gander Outdoors is getting rid of all of their Shooting/Hunting sections

    Somehow I got on a recent Gander Mtn mailing list and frankly the advertised prices I saw have not been compelling enough to search out an elusive storefront to my location. Marcus Lemonis is restructuring inventory with high profit items to complement Camping World on his way to driving the...

    Very frustrated with Sportsmans Warehouse

    Why is that, what has changed? It's not like the restaurants are slammed with business any harder than pre pandemic. Where have all the people gone that were in the food service and grocery industry prior to the shutdown?

    Wow, I didn't even know what model I have.....the 929 is worth looking at.

    FedEx says the little people can no longer ship firearms...only certain FFL's

    UPS On-Call Pickup would be if I originated a shipment from my residence. UPS Authorized Return Service would be if a UPS account holder such as Ruger issued instruction to pickup a package from my private non UPS account residence. I didn't see anything prohibiting this, did I overlook it?

    Have You Known Many Colt Haters?

    John Deere, Colt, and Notre Dame all have a following of righteous fans unable to refrain with endless prophesies of their virtues. I could see one becoming a "hater" of any of these brands due to that very provocation. For the record, I've never had the need for a Deere, have passed...

    Dan Wesson Model 715

    Aren't all Dan Wesson Revolver owners, collectors? Like you I believe the new series 715 is out of production, yet they appear to still be available here. https://danwessonfirearmstore.com/715-revolver/ As much as I covet one, just can't bring myself to pay 3X + what I paid for my most $ pre...

    Heirloom handgun recommendations needed

    Exactly, I have only two firearms that after passing from other family members to be enjoyed by our father for some years and then at his demise to me; neither can be considered rare nor exceedingly valuable in a marketable sense. Yet to me they are among the most important of what I posses...

    What have you 3D printed recently?

    That's good to know. Recently designed an insert to turn empty 12 ga hulls into a string of Christmas lights. Intend to resin print when it cools off, it's just been to gosh dang hot out in the garage lately. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4925497

    What have you 3D printed recently?

    I agree it still does for now... But that's moot in my case as I need .dxf /.dwg for laser cut files in addition to any printing here.

    What have you 3D printed recently?

    Fusion360 is feature packed, quite popular, and unfortunately tethered. They lost me last fall by revoking .dxf /.dwg export privilege to freeloading hobbyists like myself. If someone new does go the Fusion360 route, Arnold Rowentree on Youtube has a very good simple tutorial series on it...

    What have you 3D printed recently?

    This is a concealed magnetic based firearm retainer I came up with on a cold snowy weekend. While not visible in this image it has built-in stops to enable racking the slide one handed prior to release from the hold. The green object shown is attempt to replace the unobtainable Powder Control...

    I was an idiot...

    If your washer is anything like my new one, it hardly fills with enough water to wash the clothes let alone any added shells.

    Midway USA and Hazmat Drivers??

    Now retired after 33 years at UPS, hauled many couponed HazMat packages during that time in both package car and dbl trailers without any official gov'mt issued HazMat endorsement. Axed a still employed friend last month if anything has changed in that regard, it hasn't here. Maybe along the...

    Midway USA and Hazmat Drivers??

    How is he able to reset his hours to comply with DOT regulations without any days off? On another note: Yes the small parcel companies are currently slammed with business; bear in mind, MidwayUSA generates tracking numbers long before a parcel is presented for departure. It is interesting to me...

    In this latest "panic buy," did you over pay? If 'yes,' why?

    Is it too much if the high price today is still lower than the price one might find in the future? Purchased 1000 SPP last month because I'd rather have the ability to load them up than not. And yes I also filled up my truck's fuel tank last week at prices far greater than two years ago...

    Recommendations For A Decent Revolver?

    Other than the obvious visual inspection, Daddy always said to cock the hammer and check the cylinder for play. I really like the SP101, just not in .357 cause factory loads have too much jump for me with the smaller grip.

    .380 Ammo: Who's got it? What's it cost??

    I also roll my own, but if I didn't this is where I'd be checking. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/380-auto

    When it’s time to say goodbye

    As I've aged have found myself to be more selective with the guns and women in my environment. Can't imagine living without either; hmm now that I think about it, maybe that applies only to guns. To each their own.
