    UPS - no firearms shipping policy

    Not true at all. The united states postal service ships handguns all the time, normal citizens cannot, but FFL holders can. The usps price for shipping handguns is a small percent of Fedex or UPS who both require next day air and going to a hub in person to ship. I sent a really nice...

    Vulcan 3 HP 6.35 hunting

    If I see a coyote when out on my property, it doesn't matter what I'm carrying, I will put any projectile in one without thought. Don't care where I hit it. They are not native here and have decimated the turkeys and severely hurt fawn survival dropping the deer population by a massive amount...

    The NEW Daystate Alpha Wolf Safari Edition!

    Have to disagree, old fiats can last a while if cared for. I learned to drive on a fiat 850 spyder that was already 7 or 8 years old when dad bought it for a toy. Fun learning to drive at 15 on a stick with no horsepower and torque, there is not a stick in the world you can't drive perfectly...

    Preventing a Moderator From Sticking To Moderator Adaptor

    You have already received good advice from everyone. I use adapter/brakes on my threaded PB's which mate to my suppressors. Same problem. Clean threads on barrel, clean adapter, tighten very well(I actually use a torque wrench so it is the same every time). Lube threads on adapter that go...

    Tuning HELP - Need grocery list for bullet making

    The size listed for a mold is more a suggestion. Pure lead, alloy, temp all change diameter. You are better off getting a sizer that is slightly small by a thousandth or so, they are not difficult to adjust in one ten thousandth steps, and unless you get expensive ones, the lee sizers are not...

    Official Thread - Alkin owners - check in!

    In southern CA like you are, I don't think you have much to worry about. Other than the rare long rains, your dewpoints are very low in general.

    Official Thread - Alkin owners - check in!

    In relation to dive compressor's, according to a master diver and retired air compressor rebuilder, cool down running with no pressure(all relief valves open) reduces the temperature inside the compressor. Hot air holds more moisture, duh.... Moisture can build up in a split second in the heat...

    Trijicon MRO - circle or is it an exploding STAR?

    @ChickenDumpling , astigmatism can show up ungodly fast in your eyes. For me, my first symptom was my rmr micro sight no longer had a crisp dot(I'm talking in one week, was fine one weekend, next it was bad), I didn't think much of it since my aimpoints all looked great still, I sent the RMR...

    Wait period to dm

    You are one lucky person, 99.9%+ of fire stations will not fill anything but their own departments bottles, insurance thing. I bought 3 tanks from a firefighter, 2 still in hydro. It was a sunday, rural station where he was assigned, and he took the two in hydro that still had the labels for...

    Air Venturi Waterfowl?

    Definitely, his whole family were some of the best wing shooters I've ever seen in my life. It was his grandson that invited me, he apparently got in some hot water for that. I had picked up his grandson a couple weeks earlier on the side of a dirt road broke down, I was out scouting for the...

    Air Venturi Waterfowl?

    Learn to shoot. When I moved to SC I was lucky enough to meet a family that had organized dove shoots on their land, big barbeque/party the whole nine yards and I was invited for years. My first time there, I was positioned to the left of an old ancient man that wasn't much more than a stick...

    Burris Signature Rings the only way to go.....

    All of my 30mm signature rings came with a set of inserts, but then I bought them all within a couple months after buying my first set and that was 20+ years ago. If you call burris, you can get them directly from them.

    Yong Heng, Radiator vs Ice, my results so far (Video added)

    @Stubbers, look up the science, plenty out there. The amount of water per given volume of air is what means something, that is a direct relation to dewpoint, and a lot of calcs from relative humidity. Now, if you are in a dry environment, it may well be vanishingly close to pointless, but if...

    Yong Heng, Radiator vs Ice, my results so far (Video added)

    Relative humidity is pointless, it has no meaning. It is relative to the temp. Dewpoint is what you should look at. In areas of the country where it is hot and humid, this is a very common situation. In the morning, low temp hits 68 degrees F, humidity = 100%, so the dewpoint is obviously 68...

    Scope fog

    The very few times in my life that happened, I either could see well enough anyway to take the shot, or I passed the shot. Only thing that touches a lens of my scope is lint free and soft lens wipes made for camera lenses, and only indoors when I have the time to clean it correctly. Got in the...

    Tuning No Hobby For Old Men

    40 years old hasn't got back to the time the good manufacturer's actually built with quality and craftsmanship using actual master gunsmiths in production, something that nobody would pay for today, unless you buy things like Korth revolvers and full customs by a select few.

    Ridiculous Classified Ads... "Get a Clue!!"

    Tell me you've never wanted to do this

    I've had one smoke alarm removed for at least 5 years now, having them all over the house is fine, but having them all networked together sucks. The one I removed took me forever to find which one was causing the problem. All alarms chirp every couple minutes or so when networked if any one...

    Illuminated reticle opinion and suggestion

    One thing I don't see many people talk about, is does the illumination adjust low enough. Where I live, big game hunting is legal 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. I toyed with illuminated reticles vs my german no. 4 reticles in my alpha glass scopes and quickly found the vast...
