Is pulling your boat to the lake, non-essential??
jpx2rk replied to Dirtshooter's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I'll wear a scuba mask then. LOL Apparently other fishermen (people ??) didn't get that memo, drove to 2 different boat ramps today, parking lots were half full at one, and maybe 10 max at the other. -

jpx2rk replied to Dirtshooter's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I've seen a boat being pulled in my area almost everytime I get out going to the store. I'm thinking I will find out tomorrow if the weather holds. -
It would be accurate too as those asterisks cover a lot of ground.

PA ordered to close; then allowed to reopen gun shops
jpx2rk replied to chances R's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Reports I've seen the www (gotta be true right) indicate 1st time buyers are going wild with the desire to protect their hordes of TP and hand sanitizer. -
While there may be heavy volume due to the current situations we face, I experienced a 1-2 hr delay in a BG check in Oct or Nov '19. The dealer stated it had been slow all day long, and he guesstimated a 1-2 hr delay. It ended up being about 75 minutes IIRC. There was nothing special going on that day that I remember. Sometimes, computers just have a work slow down.

Prayers for all who are being affected by this, whether by the illness itself or one of the side effects of it. The public in general is feeling the side effects to varying degrees, some more than others depending on their situation.

jpx2rk replied to Dirtshooter's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I've got a boat, but the RARE days of sunshine we get get are usually just for part of the day, so I head to the gun range for a couple hours, and to get out of the house. I did get "out of the house" yesterday, washed 2 vehicles, got one waxed, the other one gets waxed today. I was "out" in the garage so it was a different environment for a while. Any bets on another drought this July/August/Sept time frame???? I got the other vehicle waxed today, then mowed the yard, so I've been "out of the house" for the majority of 2 days, it sure helps the mind, even if I'm doing something productive for a change.

I got the same email yesterday, now if the weather would cooperate. I'm really tired of being inside the house, we've had crappy weather for the most part in 2020. -
area-tri-cities Gun show in Kingsport Tn
jpx2rk replied to gary_boom's topic in Events and Gatherings
Saw the signs for a gun show in Sweetwater for this weekend as well when I passed thru earlier today. -
Boats depreciate just like cars and other vehicles (excluding collector type vehicles). If you feel like you will use the boat more than some of the guns in the safe, try selling those guns and use the $$ for the purchase of the boat, or buy the boat with some borrowed funds, sell the guns to pay of the loan. The break out another thousand for the boat is true, but the same can be said for some/most guns as they never seem to be "finished" in some form, needs a new scope, new stock, etc.. A cheap/inexpensive gun can still be double or triple the initial cost after it's customized to your liking.

One news clip stated he had a on-going feud with a co-worker, but that was all the clip said. I read on another firearm forum the shooter had 2 hand guns, one with a silencer, but no other details. Since it was not a AR style firearm, it's not as news worthy, handguns are common place now with HCP's, etc.

I heard on one news clip that the brewery was undergoing a "restructuring", and 400 jobs would be eliminated sometime in the near future. He may have been in the first wave under the RIF.

Google says the average life span for a bald eagle is ~20 yrs, so it's a wise old bird, and probably won't tell anybody it's "honey hole" location. It's getting fat and lazy in it's golden years. LOL

My wife says I smell up the house too, even when I'm not home.

Less smelly gun cleaning solvent options
jpx2rk replied to Snaveba's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I use #9, Butches Bore Shine and Pro Shot, no complaints from the SO when I clean guns at the house. I usually clean 'em at the range except for the rimfire pistols for some reason. -
At least it moves along faster than the NFL but I haven't watch an entire game yet.

Post Your Favorite Super Bowl Commerical From Todays Game
jpx2rk replied to Johnny Rotten's topic in General Chat
I thought the majority of SB ads failed in a big way this year, at least the game was a good one. -
What was your last/next range toy? [with pictures]
jpx2rk replied to DaveTN's topic in Show and Tell
Google says a golf ball is 1.680" in diameter, so please provide regular updates on this project/friendly competition. Let us know when you guys get to the "consistent" part at 300yds ok. It sounds like it would be a blast to try with a 22LR. -
Mine had the opportunity for a free ride to college (me) but she wasn't willing to put forth the effort grade wise, so the free ride was no more. Hind sight has regrets now.

I can relate to some extent. Daughter says nothing about my gun hobby, and goes to the range with me on occasion along with the grandson. But everything else is 100% democrat, anti Trump, pro whoever is against Trump so we just don't discuss politics at all. Wife can't figure out where she went wrong.

Might consider this to mount the press, I have 2 LEE single stage presses mounted to it, easy to move, and it does break down to some extent for storage. Could store it in a corner somewhere. It fits thru a interior doorway w/o breaking it down, fairly stable as well. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012719865?pid=629993 I would avoid the "shed" as much as possible, it'll be hot or cold the majority of the time.

Where does a Contender and Super 14" barrel fit in?

Pretty much what I figured, so I can keep my tuner and front rider plate then.

Hozzie; With the info you have about the changes and proposed changes in the ARA classes, what class do you think a stock Anschutz MPR 64 would land? Just curious?
