Sounds like they are yours, as long as you don't expect me to get up at 0400 to meet.

302 rounds of 30-06 ammo. 286 rounds of mixed surplus fmj and 16 rounds of Winchester soft point on enblocs. The surplus is mixed headstamps, mostly Greek, Korean. Tarnished and some with corrosion at neck or primer. Most looks like it could still be wiped or tumbled and shot, or pull it down for components. This was part of a lot I bought at an estate sale. $60 or possible trade Pick up Jackson, TN

Bought my 80+ year old house in 2005. It was originally built without electricity or plumbing, which was added later. Old cloth covered wiring, no junction boxes, wires just twisted together with no tape, wire nuts, or anything, only 4 circuits. I don't know how it did not burn down. I replaced the old 60 amp fuse box with a new 200 amp breaker box, pulled new wire, added receptacles, switches, etc. Plumbing was cast iron and black pipe (not even galvanized), which I also replaced. Two thirds of the crawl space it less than a foot from dirt to joists. Added central heat & air and had to dig trench for trunk ducts. The old gas floor furnace I removed was actually in a hole about 1.5' deep. Nothing is square, level, or plumb. I don't think the builders even knew what a tape or rule was, much less how to use them. Joists and studs may be 1' apart or 2.5' apart. Framing is all rough cut full dimension lumber. All interior walls, floors, and ceilings are 1" tongue and groove, so I guess that is what makes the structure so solid. Support beams all run to base of chimney in center of house which has settled over 1" over time. If you drop a marble anywhere, it will roll to center of house. Doors and windows are nowhere close to a standard size. Any replacement means either framing in or cutting out opening. Any project that would normally take an hour or two turns into a day or more ordeal. And of course maintenance is a constant chore. My wife loves it, but I'm getting too old for this crap.

Goldenrod or a small fixture with a 20W incandescent bulb or any small heat source in the safe will do it. (You just need to keep temp inside the safe a few degrees higher than ambient air temp outside it.) Combine that with a light coat of something like RIG #2 or 3-IN-ONE oil on all metal and you should be good to go. Desiccant packs can be used if you can't power a heating element, but both is overkill in my opinion. I opened a safe in the garage a few weeks ago that I haven't been into in at least several months, possibly over a year, to find the goldenrod had apparently been unplugged for a while. (I blamed my wife, but it was most likely me that unplugged it for some reason and didn't plug it back.) It contains a few old surplus rifles and there was mildew starting to grow on slings and even a few spots on a couple of stocks. All the metal was perfectly fine since I had wiped everything down with either RIG or 3-in-1 oil. I removed actions from stocks and wiped stocks and slings down with diluted bleach solution to remove and kill mildew. I wiped all the metal down with oil before reassembling and made sure it was plugged back in before I closed it up again.

People don't think meth heads be like they is, but they do.

Those with OCD will understand...

So, 50/50 chance he's in jail at any given time?

I've done it before with a brass punch when I didn't have a pusher with me. Just have to make sure the new sight is started into the dovetail square and be very careful to not let the punch slip. There is much less chance of messing something up using a pusher.

I just traded for an MR920L. Always wanted a full length slide with compact grip, but never could bring myself to take a hacksaw to one of my 17s.

What process did he use to make that? Drop molten brass into oil or water?

I got a case of Belom 124gr a while back and have shot a couple boxes of it. Works fine in my g17 and g43x. Can't really tell you about accuracy since I pretty much suck with a handgun unless from a rest or I've had a lot of recent practice, which I haven't.

Just don't. It is very addictive. You will wind up with a shop full of tools and parts kits and not enough time to build them.
