    Thank you for the empty grave! Happy Easter everyone.
  3. After reading posts like this one many months ago, I went the way of the stainless steel media route, no dust, very shiny and reusable over and over again.  However, I do have moisture drying problems.  It takes awhile for the casings to dry, especially in the winter months.  I figure in the long run I will save money over the dry media method.
  4. Seen this story on Fox News web site earlier today.  I did not know this existed, wow is this the move to one world currency?    http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/03/29/digital-currency-bitcoin-surpasses-20-national-currencies-in-value/   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_currency

  6. I am no accountant or financial consultant, but I have studied Roth vs. traditional IRA.  The only difference I see, use pre-tax income to buy traditional IRA and use post tax income for Roth.  When you are ready to withdraw at 59 1/2 years old, with the traditional IRA you will pay income tax based upon your rate then.  With the Roth, you pay no income tax.  I am not 100%.  All of the investment capabilities are the same (I think).   If you are single and have a decent income, Roth is probably not the way to do.  If you have children, especially young children, you may be in lower tax bracket, and thus Roth may be a better option. 
  7. My problem appears to be fixed as of today.  I have lived with this problem explained in my previous posts for months now.  I have made several posts today without any problem.  Thanks if you made some changes.
  8. Cut off the snakes head, and see it die quickly!  I think little Kim has something to prove.  For all we know, Daddy Kim probably brain washed his kid, and told him upon his death, he has 1 year to start the war.

  10. It happened to me earlier today, and there is something called Other, and I noticed "Just items I follow" was some how selected, when I unselected it, no problem.  Don't know if that is new or not, I personally had not noticed it before.

  13. Folks, I am sorry, I just don't totally buy into the sad story of the ammo wholesale and manufacturing side raising prices.  For small gun/ammo shops that are not tied to contractual purchases from their supply base, yes likely their prices may have gone up due to opportunists in the supply chain, not due to real cost increases being passed on.  Between the manufacturer and wholesale level, I have serious doubt if any price increases have occurred because there are contracts that protect themselves against such increases.  Example, Wal-Mart ammo pricing has not had any price increase (at least my local Wally hasn't).  This means either Wal-Mart is eating the price increase, or that Wal-Mart has contract pricing between itself and the manufacturers.  So do you think Walmart is eating those price increases?  Wholesalers like Walmart do the same, they have long term contract pricing between them and the manufacturers.   If small retailers do not have long term contracts between themselves and the wholesaler or the actual manufacturer, that is their fault.  So they may very well be experiencing price increases, but I don't have to shop there.      I said this on another posting, if I were the retailer, an employee, boss, manager, or owner of one, I would definitely spin my defensive posture or price increase justification on my supply chain, i.e. wholesaler or manufacturer.  I certainly would want to deflect the consumers anger to someone else, and not on my business.   Remember the fox in the hen house story, in this case, we the ammo/gun people are the hens, and the retailers are the fox.  Who you going to believe?  The fox :rofl:.  Don't believe me, just use the Walmart litmus test or other large chain retailer test, when you see their ammo pricing go up, then yes there is real price increase.  Otherwise call bull or shop somewhere else. 
  14. For an heirloom, no restoration whatsoever unless its heavy rusty or non-functional.  If its something you bought at a flea market, do with it what you will.

  19. I was in a large meeting with executives and professionals last week in Cleveland, OH, and somehow happy, happy, happy came up, and for 5 minutes everyone in the room was talking about Si, Phil and Willie.  Someone had met one of them or something.  It was great!   This show is bigger hit I think than most know.  Me personally, I rank it #2 only to Andy Griffith.

  21. For entertainment reasons, read my post from a year ago on coating, its sort of funny and full of wisdom:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/47369-my-gunkote-tale-a-tale-of-priceless-wisdom-kids-in-the-garage/?hl=%2Btale+%2Bgun
  22. In the book, there are some pictures of Willie in around 2006, and he was just starting to grow the beard and hair.  Phil and Si on the other hand have had beards for years, a little darker.  Phil's Duck Commander hunting videos from the late 80s, he had a beard then. 
  23. I may just do that.  I love to learn, maybe it will help me prepare my own business plan.  I do plan to get back in the business (someday).  I truly miss being in the gun business.  When you can combine a hobby with a little income, it makes for fun, alot of fun.
