  1. Try one of these: https://www.zoro.com/bird-x-bird-repeller-110-vac-bxp-pro-1/i/G2416601/?gclid=CjwKCAjw47bLBRBkEiwABh-PkRJlSULI7ySc_Sf6xh3htIfP9qK8Xz23s7FPkw_1ruSmOfB6vKkRVhoCDxEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
  2. Meh, scare tactics. We once used some trailer mounted generators to run what amounted to a midsize town and had plenty left over. I bet that with as many generators out there the issue would not be as bad as everyone thinks. Will there be problems, yes I am sure there will be, but an all out Mad Max scenario probably not. We have been getting the same scare tactics about solar flares for years.
  3. Yea, they had some closeout sales here a couple weeks ago but still could not match prices with places like PSA.
  4. The way I do it is to search for the make and model of the gun on sites like gunbroker to see how much they sold for (not starting price) then base my price on that. I have to tell you though, it's not a sellers market right now, many guns are being sold rather low. Getting them appraised will cost, making the final profit lower. Unless you have something a collector may want, it may be a waste of money going that route.
  5. First, do your homework..bet you've heard that before, do some research on your guns to get an idea of how much they're worth. Look up, or ask here, what is required to sell guns. Get a paid account and list them here being sure to use some current pictures. Best to have your dad involved also, specially during the handoff. I would also download the bill of sale on this site and be sure to say you intend to use one in your ads. Good luck with your future sales.
  6. Ha, you would hate me then. I have taken to blowing the trash into the street that people seem to love throwing into my yard. I have gotten tired of having to do a police call (pick up trash) every time I cut the grass because dirty lazy people can't seem to wait until they get by a trashcan to get rid of their empty cans, bottles and other "snack" trash. I figure if the city doesn't want to either give them tickets for littering (cops roll on by) or at least place more trashcans along the greenway/sidewalk, then they can figure out how to clean up the street.
  7. I have a JD, but it has been sitting iddle for some time due to my Kubota tractor, that 60" deck cuts down my mowing time considerably. It does leave some areas that need a weed eater, but that only happens every other week or so, I hate it. I have to cut weekly, on the same day or else I have to make several passes over the clumps to disperse them.
  8. Looks like a Win bolt, at least that is what mine looked like. I seem to recall there was something etched on mine, a SN maybe?
  9. A new rifle is always a good choice, but what is the question?
  10. No, technically you were/are a US citizen, every military base, or consulate is considered US soil. Many countries do not give citizenship to kids of foreigners automatically, you could of applied for French citizenship if you wanted later though. As a naturalized citizen there is nothing that should be flagged, at least not for that.
  11. I don't subscribe to any of the tin foil hat theories in this situation, but it is not out of the realm of possibilities that NK can either develop or just buy some kind of super bug. Heck, they can always send agents out to the Ebola infectious sites and after contracting the decease get into the US walking around all the tourist sites infecting people. But NK is not, to my knowledge, into the whole terrorist game. Sure, they rattle their sword now and then, but they know that unless they can take out all our response weapons, an attack is pure folly. And that will not get them any concessions from us, and the west...which is what they are after in the long run.
  12. Yup, exactly that. Punks come in all manner of dress, it's the actions that make them punks. Sorry, but Michael Brown caused this by attacking the officer, no more no less.
  13. I actually like DD coffee, while stationed at Hunter Army Airfield they were my go-to during an alert, a large coffee with a bunch of donut holes for the guys and in and out in under 5 minutes.
  14. That's b.s., all you have to do is give a bogus name, it's not like they ask for id.
  15. I don't know, but I can tell you this, while in the army interacting with the civilian population in Iraq, I treated them with respect and was courteous but I always kept an American at my back and was always locked and loaded, never once had my safety engaged. Was I scared, I don't think so, but witnesses too many "non-combatants" take out friends at check points to not be cautious. As a gun carrying individual, and a huge proponent of our 2nd Amendment rights I still find it wise to make sure there is no misunderstanding between me and any LEO I encounter.
  16. Yea, I really don't see the issue. Sanction to hurt Russia financially must ultimately include weapons as I am sure it's probably right up there in the top items that we import. If Hillary was elected, it would be to hurt us, the America gun owner, not Russia.
  17. I don't recall if I posted here about this when it happened, but something struck me about the whole incident, mostly clouded on how the girlfriend acted during the event. I seem to recall hearing that the gun was on his lap, and had seen many a YouTube video putting Castille in a not so good light, specially as a gun owner. Having said that, that should not of cost him his life, but he was not as squeaky clean as many try to make it seem. I too do not know what the jury heard, but they made their decision and right or wrong that is what the decision is. I don't recall any marches or mayhem after the OJ trial, and we all know he did do it. So as far as I am concerned, the legal system did their part, the grand jury was convened, charges leveled and a verdict decided upon. While not perfect by any means, it is the legal system we have and changing it may not have the effects everyone thinks it will.
  18. I like it, can you tell me how you stuffed the lead into the case? Also, if its not to much trouble what mold did you use for the bullets. I have a SBH that can use this technique, I have all I need to swage some of my other calibers too but just haven't gotten that far. But I figure it is good to know HOW to do it just in case. Also, have you tried powder coating? If done right there is no leading from cast bullets, I've tried a few different types of powder, some from harbor freight, it's ok, some from Powder by the Pound (good stuff and local) and some from a guy on another site, good stuff as well. Not mine, this is to show the many color options There is also a myriad of good lubes that either reduce or eliminate leading. I have used Lee's alox, it works but too sticky but then I found a mix called BLL (Ben's Liquid Lube) that has done good for me so far, all it is is 60% Lee Alox and 40% Johnson's One Step Floor wax. A little goes a long way so I would mix small batches (unless you shoot hundreds), I used the original instructions which started with an empty picnic condiment bottle, darn thing evaporated the majority of the contents when I left it in my shed, yea I know should of kept it in the house. The hard part is getting the floor wax, it seems they have discontinued it but it is still available here and there mainly at smaller stores. Ebay had a bottle for about $65...yea right, I found mine at home depot but they have since sold out.
  19. PR heck, a gun swap is usually setup beforehand, nobody goes somewhere to setup a gun buy. Here are work we switched networks, now all our traffic is handled by our higher headquarters. TGO is GTG, but another forum, Castboolits, I can get to the site but can't read any of the posts, they're blocked with a standard DOD message and the reason it give is "Weapons; Suspicious" , so I suspect they are actually reading/scanning content before rendering it. I guess the army/DOD doesn't want me to know how to cast my own bullets.
  20. Situational awareness is key, first never allow anyone to approach your window without already having your weapon at the ready and as was already stated always leave room to maneuver, if the BG is just about to reach you, floor it and get out of that situation and call 911 immediately. If it was an innocent situation, you want to be the first caller, if it wasn't you want LEO to get to them before they get to someone else. If someone is already pointing a gun, the best bet is to floor it, whether you have the room or not, and always forward, you don't have time to change gears. Remember, all he has to do is squeeze the trigger so no movements he can see until you floor it, then lean on back as far as possible because chances are that he will shoot and you want the door jamb in the way...you may get shot anyway because unless you are driving a funny car, you are just not getting out of the slot faster than a bullet, be ready for that.
  21. Yes, they are nice, I was going to get a couple more sets but I came across these so may just try them out. Seems easier to load them on the rack and are a couple dollars cheaper: Target Hangers These don't use bolts so I can theoretically leave them on the cross bar and just remove the targets to put them away. The only issue I see is that when the gong swings back down it may come off, but I kind of doubt it will do that.
  22. I was doing some maintenance on my stands, repainting, rust removal etc and thought it may be of interest to others to see them. These are from two companies: All the plates and stencils https://shootingtargets7.com/store/ https://shootingtargets7.com/store/accessories/stencil-1276.html The stand braces and hangers https://ar500-targets.com/product/pipe-stand-brackets/ https://ar500-targets.com/product/hangers-made-from-ar500-2/ The stand is made from 3/4" pipe, I put caps on the feet to keep the mud out and one on the end to keep the brace or targets from sliding off while I am loading (sliding them on) the targets. The reactive one is kind of cool, the center jumps if hit letting you know when you hit the bull. I started hanging them by chains but seen the AR500 hangers and liked them as every once in awhile the chain would get nicked so changed some out. I left the chains on the reactive one because of the second plate though. I have the magnetic stencils too but just had not gotten that far yet. I also have wooden ones for my paper targets, but they are just DIY H pattern ones, I may update with a pick of them later. So show us your stand, give others ideas in case they are looking.
  23. That is definitely an option if I find a local place, I would like to cut some trails for the deer to travel through to get me a better shot. I only plan on cutting a few, and only once as from then on I will likely just spray the trails. I'm torn about the berries, I really hate to maneuver around them but they do get eaten by animals, it's just that they don't stay put, they will take over the entire place if I let them.
