    2022: Let's Do Better Guns NOT New Rds

    It's not that there won't be wood stocked rifles. It's that they'll either be ~$400 birch-stocked options or $1K + if you want Walnut. A "smart" company would determine how thick they wanted their 'glass bedding to be, CNC machine the wood in a Manner that would allow for a uniform thickness...

    2022: Let's Do Better Guns NOT New Rds

    I can handle "full-house" 158's from a 6" or longer full-underlug 357Mag. I can't handle full-house 240's from a 44-mag. I yank the trigger as I'm turning my head and dipping the muzzle half-way to China. I've never 41'd but it might be a doable compromise. Picture the interrupted golf swing...

    2022: Let's Do Better Guns NOT New Rds

    Tables and tables full of just what you asked for @ the Fargo Gun Show yesterday but very very few of them actually being bought. Some of them were overpriced, but there were lots of guns priced "fairly" and a few "gems" for the asking price on the tag. Pretty shotguns are going to continue to...

    I recently bought an HP 9015. It was easy to set up and is easy to print from any device on the same wireless signal. Computers, laptop, phone or tablet. Simple setup as well. I printed out a dog pic after the cartridge heads were aligned and it prints exceptional quality photos on just...

    And just like that, Federal launches a new pistol cartridge, the 30 Super Carry: https://www.guns.com/news/2022/01/06/new-caliber-federal-30-super-carry

    That niche is currently being filled by Browning X-Bolt's and Cooper. The last big push of inventoried wood-stocked M70's were the Tiger Maple stocked Super Grades. Every manufacturer could use a re-set regarding wood-stock dimensions as well. Pick the combs up about 1/2" minimum on every...

    Well, Winchester M70's aren't made in the USA anymore. Remington is bankrupt, the new group of investors "Remarms" is in the process of moving out of NY and into GA then re-introducing whatever their product line is going to have. Ruger no longer produces a "77" except for the 77/17, 77/22...

    What's worse?

    I'll take kids learning foreign languages over CRT any day. I know a couple of folks who went abroad to teach English in foreign countries right out of college. Great experiences and they made really good $$$$.

    All new chevrolet 1500 pickem up trucks...

    FIL just put $3500 into a lifter-fail repair on a 5.3L in a ?2017-2018? Tahoe. Lifter was on the "shutdown" side. 115K Mi or so on the rig and 0 towing. I don't like intermittently shutting down a bank of cylinders. I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't like stop-sign/stop-light full shutdown with...

    Starting to have to run down the odd gremlin in my '11. Replaced the 4-gang power-window switch @ the driver's position. 3 worked 100% up/down no problems. The driver's window would go down 100% of the time then it was a coin toss as to how much you'd have to fiddle w/the switch to get back...

    Betty White

    So this week we lost Marcinko, Reid, Madden, and White. If famous folks die in 3's I wonder if we're 1 long or 2 short. I hope the ghost of Commander Marcinko can understand he's only next to Reid in the above sentence as a matter of chronology as I was squeamish as I wrote it.

    HMR succeeded by NOT being a reloadable cartridge. $8.99-$12.99/box of 50 upon launch = "Why would I Reload?" as well as significantly quieter. From a pure FPS/noise standpoint, the .17 Hornet could've been "That Competitor" to the HMR but the cost for ammo was ~2X the HMR, the magazine only...

    The .204 is a direct neck-down from the 222mag.

    Only way I'd own a modern diesel from any maker is if I could guarantee no short trips and no long idles. EGR + DPF + SCR/DEF + short trips + long idles = You're going to have significant exhaust related issues that either leave you beside the road, sitting at home while your pickup is in the...

    Not directly off the 223Rem case. There are forming dies for doing so though. You've got to shorten the case and then re-establish the shoulder and neck. The new cartridges are coming as a result of new projectiles that require significantly more RPM to stabilize. In todays litigious society...

    Skid-Steer blower question

    Any chance the auger chute/motor/actuator is frozen or are you able to put it somewhere it thaws out after use?
