Caster

Ahh, ragged stupid spell check changes Caster to carter all the time. I missed it.

Antifreeze is a horrific death and it was already in a lot of pain. I'm happy to give one cast boolit to ease something's suffering. I'd like to say I'd be willing to give a lot more to ease more suffering but that might be an indictment.

All government workers are useless. City, state and federal. I live in suburbia. Neighbors everywhere. Well, this morning there's a skunk in the yard. Unusual for em to be out and about during daylight. I watch it and it ain't moving much. An hour passes by and it is still sitting there so I call animal control. "Oh we don't deal with them unless they are already in a trap" So I asked the lady, what do I have to do, go buy one and then lose it when y'all won't bring it back!? The wife calls local police and the TWRA. Nope, ain't their problem. There's a lot of kids around here. Getting sprayed, bit and rabies shots isn't something I'd wish on these little ones. WTF are you supposed to do and be a LAW ABIDING citizen? That's what's wrong with gov workers. Passing the buck, lazy, it ain't my problem. Ridiculous. I guess the police will probably show up soon to give me hell for discharging a firearm in city limits. If they do, I'm gonna tell them "If y'all would get off your lazy ass and protect and serve then I wouldn't have to do it!" I know several police officers and one or two right here on TGO that do their job. I owe y'all a beer and an apology for any insult you may take, but the ones who do their job know for a fact I'm telling the truth! To those who are doing their job, I appreciate you........you are a minority. The skunk by the way had been attacked by something and its back legs were mangled. If you'd got close to it, you'd have been sprayed and or bitten. It was suffering pretty bad. It now rests peacefully in an unmarked grave. It ain't the animal that pisses me off btw. I ain't having to get out in the rain and get my rifle wet either. It's just the total don't give a crap attitude by the people I THOUGHT was supposed to handle these things. I thought that's what our tax dollars paid their wages for. This is only a trivial pittance of an example.

Everything needs to be super clean and smooth. Put the barrel in the freezer over night and heat the trunnion with a torch. Not too hot now! Then you have to get on with it. No goofing around. If the temps start equalize the trunnion will contract. There's a good bit of an interference fit with AK barrels. They can be a real pain in the butt.

That's like a grant for a zoo to teach monkeys how to sell bananas to the apes. Stupid.

Yeah, I understood the original problem, I was just saying they are so cheap it shouldn't matter even if Daniel didn't do anything. You won't be sorry for have some spares around. Opposite actually, you'll be glad you did.

......a man could take that to Kinko's and clean house!

3 million!?!?!?!     Hey, I got a autographed copy of the bible I'd sell for half that!   Awthinticity gauranteed!!

Kel tec should make a "Taste the Rainbow Coalition" edition.

Chris Mathews mother should be apologizing for giving birth.

    Funny how some minds think alike.  My first thought was, the world would be a better place .............................

If he's apologizing for me that makes him a liar cause I ain't sorry for nuthin! Chris Matthews can kiss my lily white butt.

Walmart in Dickson has Winchester 28g 7 1/2 shot AA for $12 a box. Not exactly cheap but not a bank breaker either. I was there last night, they had around a dozen boxes.

These parts are so cheap I will tell any AR owner they are a fool not have a couple replacements. Cam pins, cotter pins, firing pins and gas rings are CHEAP. They don't need replacing too often but I replace them more often than normal because they are the ONLY parts in my gun that show the faintest hint of wear. I use Lucas Red and Tacky grease on the cam pin and I rotate it 180 degrees every now and then. When I start seeing a bit of a dent form, I pitch it. You can get them for a couple of bucks at the gun show. Why bother fooling with it. I keep at least five or six on hand at all times along with an equal amount of cotter pins. When I replace a cam in I replace the cotter pin. I haven't replaced a firing pin yet because I haven't seen any wear but I have three extras for my rifle. Seriously, it costs more to fill one 30 round magazine than replace these parts. They will last MUCH longer than I use them for but as cheap as they are; I look at it like this - why wear dirty socks when fresh clean ones are so cheap? As with anything in life, YMMV.

Seriously I need to invest in better stuff but I refuse until me and the wife decide where to live the rest of our lives.

Okay, this system has been working well, but I went out this morning to set it up to charge for a while and the darn display won't come on the control box. There's been numerous reports of the box failing but everything seems to work. The battery is charging because I get a voltage drop at the battery when I unplug the system and when I flip the switch. Hopefully it's just the display that's bad. I'm going to try to get harbor freight to swap out just the box so I don't have to pack up my panels and all the lights I hung up that came with the system. At least everything still works. I suppose I should just leave my volt meter next to the system to do my random tests with. I sure like to be able to flip the switch though and see what the battery charge was. Grrrr! Is always something.

I won't back down from one either. Too old to care what happens to me but still young enough to mess stuff up before I'm out of the game.

Yep, this is not a method to take lightly. Best shot was one grazing. They will eat, look around and eat again. Take aim while the deer grazes and wait for it to look around. When it takes back to grazing again and moves into your view, take the shot. Randomly aiming at a deers head is irresponsible. You must be sure of your shot. BUT, that goes with any shot really.

There's ALWAYS a few boxes of Win double A's on the shelf at Walmart around here. Get a Mec and reload them. They're a breeze to load for once your tooled up.

That's modern survivalism. That's the reason you put that food away. It'll be rough, but you'll make it. Where this delusion of complete collapse comes from I don't know but surviving the near future will be just like what Rightdefender is going through right now. The rug got yanked out from under him and his foresight to put away a meal or two will keep him from starving and allow him to keep his pride. ....and by pride I mean not begging the system to get time at the government teet at tax payers expense. You gotta know, things will get bad, really bad before they collapse altogether. The chances of an overnight cataclysm is close to zero. Sans a foreign invasion it will take a bit of time for everything to look like a scene from "the road". We have to survive that too you know. It's much more likely that you will have to endure unemployment, natural disaster, your house burning to the ground etc than Red Dawn. I can't stress this enough. DO NOT PREPARE TO SURVIVE THE FUTURE, it's a waste of time. Prepare to survive NOW! Keep your mind on the here and now where it belongs. You have to train your mind to see that we are ALREADY in a survival situation. Greed is a destroyer but kept in check by helping others (that deserve help!); there's a healthy amount of greed that will keep you and yours alive to face tomorrow. It boils down to priorities. If you wanna smoke weed and play video games, go for it. I'd rather have a full belly before I sleep and to know my wife can sleep without fear. Survivalist have good intentions but many if not most need to restructure their way of thinking.

So, by these idiots reasoning, I should be able to feel safe to walk down Jefferson Street after dark wearing a Lynyrd Skynyrd tshirt and whistling Dixie because I'm not hurting anyone. Oh these people need a clue.....and bad!

For some people, it's not another chore that needs doing, it's a hobby and a lifestyle of choice. Therefore, it's much like a TRUE Christian. If its all for naught, then in the end, nothing is lost because the journey was enjoyable. I actually USE a lot of what some call preps. I rotate food. I actually SHOOT my ammo instead of hoarding it up. I use the oldest and replace it with fresh goods. If this is all for nothing, so what? When I die, I won't care anyway. Maybe after I'm gone, what I've put away may make the difference between life and death to a man and his wife and kids. If I don't use what I tuck away and after I'm gone, some random dude saves the life of his little girl because he happened upon my stash or stuff then my labor was WELL worth my time.

I don't want a war. I don't want a race war for SURE. ......but I will burn everything I have before I let them take it. How many people who have worked for what little they have will join me?

It's confusing to hear that dialect from a black gentleman saying those things. I know a couple of black guys that are similar. It's very ...confusing. AND welcome. Very welcome.

I wonder if they understand that when it gets that far, there are many people who will burn everything to the ground before they let them have it. I hope not, but it may very well be that a civil war with the left will be a scorched earth policy deal.
