I like Lucas Red and Tacky grease, and Mobil One 5w30 synthetic. I use both on my Toyota, as well as all my guns. If it slides, I grease it, everything else gets oil.

I was out with a buddy of mine, we'd been hunting earlier that day. We stopped for gas and the sign said no bills larger than $20 taken. He went inside to talk with the manager. Now, we were in an old suburban with two tanks. All he has is a hundred, he tells the manager he is going to buy $80 worth a gas and a pack of smokes. The manager still refused saying we can't take bills over $20. Some people are so stupid, there are no words in our language to describe them fittingly.

There's a reckoning coming to this soil. I've said it for years and the logic is undeniable. It can be proven no matter what you believe. The mayans? Not for me. IF you study the Judeo-Christian prophecy, the end of days are made up of Israel surrunded by the Kings of north, south, east and west. The west being the EU. There's no mention of North and south america, which means were have been folded into the EU, driven to less than 3rd world status or wiped out all together. In any event, it's apocalyptic to me and you. If you don't believe any of this don't be so quick to jump on the keyboard and hammer out long rhetoric on religion please because no matter what your spiritual beliefs may be, it's absolutely preposterous to think that the USA will maintain it's current level of power and authority in this world. This country is already greatly diminished from it's previous capacity. Make no mistake, money, or should I say the lack thereof will destroy these arrogant waves of grain. I have no doubts about the coming [physical] battle about to take place here on our soil, but it will [imho] take place after a MAJOR economic collapse that will cripple the remaining infrastructure of our government. If we are fortunate to carry on without invasion and occupation by outside forces, there will be a quick scramble for pieces of the broken power and we will be reduced to a feudal warlord mentality whereby clans form, fight and conquer one another. The typical american. I don't care how many hours you work a week, you are still lazy. Arrogant. Convinced of your own superiority. Typical american. You have no idea. How foolish you are to think that the things of which I speak cannot happen here. You have not the stomach for what comes on the horizon. You will weep in the final moments of your life and still not understand. Some of you will scurry like cockroaches and try to hide. Some of you may survive for a time, by hook or crook or the compassion of those few who knew what was coming, and took pity on you still. BUT for the majority of you, it will be death or servitude. I love the attitude your high and mighty types have. You can't do that to me. I'm an american. I have rights! No. What you have is the barrel of a rifle stick in your yapping mouth, and the holder of said rilfe is growing weary of listening to you. You dirty tree huggin' hippy scum, with your peace and love and tolerance. History repeats itself. What has been documented for centuries is not a lie, nor does it need to neuter itself to make you feel better. It doesn't need to give your stupid kid a participation trophy. It doesn't need to justify itself to you. History has proven that no one can rule for long, but no one can rule at all without a fist of iron. The heaviest, well forged fist wins. Might makes right, if but for a time. Your paltry, pathetic concepts of equality and kumbaya around a fire are but a momentary pause; denial of what we [humans] are. Animals. You have suppressed the animal far too long. In your quest to set yourself above even yourself, you have turned your back on the animal that man really is. The beast will awaken. If there are any survivors this time, they will write fantastic stories about what we are about to see. Have you told the ones you care about that you love them today?

Not as ready as I'd like to be, but bring it on. No rambos here, just a fella who's sick of the current goings on and ready for something else. For better or worse.

I've only done a couple so far. I plan to make six and keep them in a little box I made out of bloodwood. More of a conversation piece, yet fully functional.

No kidding!!! That's awesome. You'll be a crusty old man some day and you'll think of this and smile. No one can take that away from you either. Awesome man, awesome.

No. Even if it got hot enough, casting a silver bullet is (for most people) not possible. The heat would do permanent damage to a good mold. The only feasible alternative is to turn them. I save scrap silver myself and do this very thing. I built a miniature cement furnace that uses charcoal and a hair dryer. It's all it will do to get hot enough to melt. I pull it out of the furnace and while it's very hot, pound it into a round shape. Laying down a clean paper towel on the ways, I turn it to shape. Save the shavings until next time. Casting silver can be done, but we ( bullet casters) don't have the means to do it. Once again hollywood has fed us a steamy pile of bull £¥|π What are you wanting to make? I'm making 350g keith style .45 long colts.

I smoked for 13 years. Been quit 9 years. When I quit I was at 2 packs of camels a day. I slung 'em out the window one day and that was it. All the mind games, tricks and physical aids are just gimmicks for the weak. I hear people say I want to quit but I can't. Well, you don't really want to then. If you really want to quit, just quit. It's not easy breaking addiction, but the reason it has such a hold over you is because you let it. It is killing you, therefore it's an enemy. Approach it with such resolve. If you're a stand there and get butt whooped kinda guy, you're not gonna quit. Remember, a cigarette is an inanimate man made object. Are you really going to let such a thing tell you what to do? Where to go? How to live your life? Good job on quitting by the way!!

I resolve to change my diet to get my stomach back in order so I it'll quit hurting me all the time and I can start drinking again.

Tempers keep rising, people keep arguing, no one is doing anything. Sad part, no one WILL do anything[for the better]....no one can do anything. Well then, you have one alternative. ohh, but they would burn me at the stake for warmongering. I don't care who you elect, it's over. You keep rereading this page all you like, but eventually you have to turn the page. Next chapter. Me? I just wish they'd get on with it.

It took a time for me to get it in my thick head when I was younger, but charge weight for bullet weight is not precise. Quite the opposite across the board. Differing bullet shapes, lengths, diameters and on and on make enormous differences. That's why you work up from the bottom slowly. One thing I would ask you first off is what kind of pistol are shooting? Reason being, if it's were say a Blackhawk, I'd roll my eyes and tell you to carry on. On the other hand if it were a Charter Arms or something closer to antiquity I'd say proceed with great caution.

....By the power vested in me by the state of connecticut, I now pronounce you.....

You forgot how close a race it was between the dirt bike and the airplane.

....I'm so sorry.

Oh you know you wanted a knee mounted cassette player for driving after you saw it.

Anyone should have their registration, and proof insurance close to hand. I have my D/L, HCP, proof of insurance and registration in hand long before the officer gets out of the car. Hand them to him/her, and these next two are fairly important: First, after you hand in your id's/papers, have both hands on the steering wheel and don't take them off. Just keep them there. It's a show of respect, and you'll make the officer feel a touch more comfortable if you aren't moving your hands about. Second, and this may be the hardest for some people, Just shut your mouth. Does anyone HONESTLY believe they have something they can tell a cop that he/she doesn't hear 10 times a day. Take your ticket because you know what, the cop would not have pulled you over if you hadn't been breaking the law. IF you think you are an exception, argue with the judge. Traffic stops are easy now that I grew up a notch. Don't move around, and shut up. I swear to God, it works. Last time I was pulled over, the State Trooper asked me if I knew why he stopped me. I said I imagine it was because I was frickin' flyin' back there. He just smiled and I was back on my way in less than ten minutes. * yes I did get a ticket. I was doing 80+ in a 70. If I remember right he wrote me for 83... I can't remember. Funny, I was doing a touch over 90 just before I got to him so I fooled him:) No seriously, I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway. I got home, signed the ticket and a made out a check. End of story.

Recoil is (for the hand loader) whatever you want it to be. It can punishing,or it can be laughable. If you're on a factory loaded diet and recoil is a concern, try something in the 125g to 150g range.

I clicked on this thinking we were gonna be talking about the Screaming Eagles.

Do you guys not know who this is? Am I way off on this or this not DLM's people???

So in a trade I made, I got a box full of oddities. One of which is a box [50 or so] empty tracer jackets(.30 caliber). They are very thick, and very long but hollow at the base and [obviously] very light. They are as long if not longer than my 175g FMJBT bullets I use. I thought of pouring lead into them, but honestly, what a waste. I thought of reaming them to a given size and pressing some steel dowel pins in them. I could weigh the dowels before hand to keep the weight close. They'd be like an ultra light AP. Yet again when I think of it, it's kinda stupid. If anyone can think of a good use........let's talk:) Nothing dangerous please.

Thanks for the concern:)

These folks got 'em. GPONV: Glock Collectables

Actually, these are resonant echo's from years of anti-1911-ismic sentiment coupled with years of devotion to the XD platform. But hey, if you got another glass of tropical punch, I'll take a swig!

Yup, and they're heavy and don't hold very much ink either. Not to mention they cost ten times what they are worth. Stupid steel ink pens, antiquated rubbish.

Great, you can use it to mark off things off that "check list of things to fix on a 1911" you got there. ...and I bet the ink in that thing never jams either.
