Saw a shady deal at Academy- with pic
GlockSpock replied to LI0NSFAN's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Well, I certainly see that being possible for some places, but Academy surely would turnout otherwise? -

And something that I haven't seen brought up I don't believe. David owns his own business. He pays for the stock. It is his to decide what should be done with it. A cashier at Academy does not. Honestly though, had they not lied about it, I wouldn't necessarily even say anything wrong had happened. All they had to do was say that it was reserved. They lied about it because what they were doing wasn't so legitimate. If you haven't, just call the store and politely speak with a manager. I spoke with a manager at Walmart a week or so ago. I could not have been more pleased. Managers, not their employees, care about business. Unless they are crooked I suppose. -

Flag it? I think it would be better to have someone meet the guy but then not buy it. Show up to confirm it is him and then bail out for some reason. I'm sure someone on here has enough time for that. -
CZ9mm's Continual Reloading Thread
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
So, on your Lemishine only method, hot water or boiling? Also, was that 1 bottle of isopropyl rubbing alcohol to one container of the lanolin? Any further input on "tumblerless" cleaning methods and homemade case/die lube would be great! -
CZ9mm's Continual Reloading Thread
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I mounted the press yesterday after moving my bench inside. Hopefully I will find time to take a picture later tonight. Threw in the 9mm shell holder and installed the universal decapping die. Decapped a few cases just because I'd been itching to do that for a while now. I think I'm going to really, really like this setup. Suppose that hopefully I can decap all my 9mm tonight and then Lemishine it overnight. -
The flip side of that is that our civilian population is more heavily armed than that of China/Ukraine/Russia, or at least I think that to be the case. Thus it would be very costly for them to enter a ground war with us on our turf. That's why everyone has to worry about insane people and ICBM's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I am very tempted to purchase the PD35 for myself. What is important for me is for the light to be usable as a blinding/disorienting tool easily without complication. I notice that it has an "instant strobe" accessible by holding the side button (I believe). My question is whether or not it will "remember" strobe mode. For example, if I am about to go for a night walk and I turn the light on "strobe" mode before I get started, will it remember that it is on strobe mode for the duration of the walk? How well does the memory function work? Does it theoretically remember what setting it is on forever as long as you leave the battery in?

Metal Detecting Finds (Update, 3 hits, 3 finds in 20 minutes)
GlockSpock replied to a topic in General Chat
[quote name="TankerHC" post="1119508" timestamp="1393872232"]The couple who found the 10 million in Gold Coins are now facing arrest. In California there is a law that states any find over XX amount has to be reported to the Police and an ad ran to find the decendents of the owners of the find. Now, they face arrest for finding the coins on their own property, but not reporting them. The IRS says they owe them 4 million, even if they do not sell the coins. The Government says they were likely the stolen hoard from the SF mint and that they belong to the Government. They owe the State 17% tax (1.7 million) for the find. They might as well forget it. Between the Fed, the IRS (seperately), the State of California and the local police, they are going to end up with nothing. [/quote] 'Merica! Yeeeeaaaahhhh!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I mean I think that's the range you were telling me about over there on California. Right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I shipped (20 I think) PMAG's to a member on here. I generally add tracking numbers to my iOS app "Deliveries" and just make sure they all get delivered. Probably a week or so later I get a message from that person just asking the status of his PMAG's. Told him that I didn't know but would check. My iOS app told me that it had been delivered! He hadn't seen them though, and I took his word for it since he has good feedback on here. I figured that either they had been stolen off his porch or stolen by the USPS person. I called the Post Office in Brentwood, spoke with the Postmaster over a few days, and eventually discovered that a driver had "scanned it as delivered but meant to scan it as attempted delivery". Accidents happen, but I was very concerned that one of us was going to be out of some money. In the end it worked out. The Postmaster was very helpful, but it did cause me to rethink some things. You know who you are!

I'll do you one better. Lets keep the possibility for obtaining a HCP for cross-state compatibility, initiate constitutional carry in TN, and then make it illegal to use a firearm to do something illegal. Win-Win! In high school in one class we had a "conversation" that was based on the fact someone stabbed someone with a swiss army knife on school property. The teacher was asking "what could be done" to prevent things like that happening in the future. I told him that they should just make it against the law to stab someone, and he responded that it already was. I responded with "And a lot of good that did".

Sure...I understand that your heavier populated areas have much more representation than your more sparingly populated areas, but if that many states have already passed them and there are that many more that have at least introduced bills, perhaps someday something can indeed be done at the national level. It'd take a different political climate, that's for sure.

Ok. Just ate an apple the way it was shown. If you start from the bottom as shown and then eat your way up, you can eat the entire thing and it isn't weird. The "core" gets "mixed" in with the "meat" of the apple and it is in no way weird. The whole thing was easily edible and as a bonus the seeds are probably really good for you anyway. Off to look for a banana!
-
Whenever we make smoothies we just use the entire apple. The Vitamix blends them so smooth you'd never know whether or not you used the core and seeds. Eating the entire apple like they show seems odd but I am going to try it when I get home.

And you could potentially snag a used one at a decent price from someone who had to have one but didn't like it.

CZ9mm's Continual Reloading Thread
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
So, it's time to mount the press. I built a bench yesterday and will be mounting the press soon, depending on how I decide to do it. My current question is whether or not anyone has any experience with the Lee Mounting Plate? I do have the desire to possibly someday purchase the Lee Classic Turret for reloading handgun rounds. I also foresee that sometime I may wish to remove the press for multiple reasons (moving bench, using bench for other purposes, etc). Thus, if the ability to easily swap presses in and out using a plate such as this does not hinder using the press in any way, I'd love to use on of these. So as long as it does not take away from any aspect of using the press (stability, precision, etc), I think I'll purchase one! -
tnguy paid me for some PMAG's in BitCoin a while back. Now I just hate reading about BitCoin at all because I remember reading about it 4-6 years ago at some point but being concerned about the stability of it. Now it just makes me queasy thinking about the growth since then.

Just curious. What exactly happened that he messed up a $1500 rifle?
