      The next crisis, Zombie Cicadas...

      Keep all of your drains covered, roaches use the drains and sewer system as a highway to travel into your house. If you keep all of your drains capped when not in use, you'll reduce the amount of roaches getting in. Can't help with the spiders.

      Start preparing for hurricane season

      I got stationed at Elgin in 1976 and have experienced ever storm since and I don't recall ever seeing much of a presence by any government organization or the Red Cross for that matter. After hurricane Opal, Anheuser Busch probably passed out more water than the government and there were...

      Start preparing for hurricane season

      Ironically, back in around 78, hurricane Frederick was supposed to hit FWB so my roommates and I bought a bunch of wine cause we figured that we could drink warm wine when power went out. We never lost power on that one and we had a bunch of cheap wine to deal with,

      Start preparing for hurricane season

      I got stationed at Elgin in 1976 and since that time I've experienced a few storms and learned a few things. Most of the important stuff has been covered but I'll add my two cents anyway. Going without power is a biggie that many were unprepared for. Our house in Fort Walton is a block from Gulf...

      RUGER LCP MAX - CONCEAL CARRY - POCKET PISTOL

      I had an lcp that my wife liked so I gave it to her and bought an lcp II. I also put a techna clip on both of them rather than use a holster. With that I can hook it in a pocket or waistband and it doesn't print I have quite a few carry options but I find myself carrying the lcp the most often...

      Who hoards ketchup/hot sauce/condiment packets?

      So you're the guy! Your wife didn't toss them, she passed them out on Halloween. A few months ago I read an article about a guy sifting his kids Halloween candy and found a bunch of condiment packs that somebody was passing out. Small colorful packs look like candy and the kids didn't notice.

      So, my AR exploded today…

      I wasn't trying to start a pissing contest, I was just pointing out that it is possible to double charge a .223.

      So, my AR exploded today…

      That particular table is IMR SR4759 which is out of production but the Speer #14 (which is more current) shows a load of 11.0 gr of AA5744 which is still available. If I dug deeper, I'm sure that I could find more. The point is that a .223 could be double charged.

      So, my AR exploded today…

      I hate to pop your bubble and I don't mean to offend you but in my 47 years of reloading, I've learned that you can. I own a pretty good library of reloading manuals and the first one I grabbed was the Speer #9 (1974) and it showed charge weights from 8 grains to 29.5 grains showing that it's...

      So, my AR exploded today…

      I second this. I ain't as smart as most of you fellers but everything I see screams over pressure.

      Shot timers

      I've never seen one sensitive enough to pick up a hammer fall and I I've been around quite a few. If you're looking for affordable and durable, I've had a Pact Club Timer since the late 80's and it still works like new.

      Thanks for the add! In Holt

      Our one and only diner, Susan's, (I don't count Browns) has pretty good "comfort food" and some of the best fried mullet around on Friday and Saturday.

      Thanks for the add! In Holt

      Welcome from another guy in Holt, actually kinda midway between Baker and Holt but with a Holt address.

      Smith and Wesson lever action rifles

      That's a tough thing to address. Traditionalists like myself prefer wood, blued steel, and open sights on my leverguns. (And I own quite a few) I also have a few friends that think the Ramboesque levers are cool. No matter how precise the machining in a lever, it won't lock up as tight as a well...

      Bullet Casting

      Brasshog, thanks for the reply. I had a friend that made gas checks years ago that used beverage cans and it was a multi step process with a high failure rate. It wasn't worth the trouble to me at the time. Now that copper checks have gone up so much in price, it's worth revisiting. The setup...

      Bullet Casting

      Tell me about the gas checks, are they made out of beverage cans? Do they work the same as copper, and is there some type of kit to make them? The price of copper gas checks has really shot up.

      its what's for dinner

      We're always trying to think up uses for left over turkey and we added another easy one to the list. Turkey pot pie. We had some premade pie crust left over and laid one in the bottom of the pie dish and baked it for 20 minutes, mixed two cans of cream of chicken soup, a couple spoons of corn...

      Thompson Center Pro Hunter accuracy problem.

      We've been shooting 150 grain bullets and I have no idea of the twist rate.

      Thompson Center Pro Hunter accuracy problem.

      The gun probably doesn't have 60 rounds through it and the hinge pin is so tight that I have to drive it out with a brass punch.

      Thompson Center Pro Hunter accuracy problem.

      Does anyone have any experience with these things? A friend has one that we've been trying to dial in but 3-4 inches at 100yds is the best that we've gotten with the 30-06 barrel and the .338win mag is much worse. I've read all kinds of mixed reviews ranging from tack driver to turd. My friend...
