My Glock with a Switch

I want to add to my stockpile of ammo. I have a few thousand rounds of most of what I use; but would like to add. 1) Do I look for sales every month and buy one caliber that is on sale. (Most time complex but most savings) 2) Save for a couple of months and buy large quantities at once? (Middle for time and money) 3) Do I find a place and buy say one or two boxes of each caliber every month? (Easiest time, just order the same thing every month) Which method do people tend to use? I’m honestly thinking if there was an ammunition subscription service, that would be awesome. Something like I want “10,000 rounds of Federal X in 9mm, and 10,000 rounds in 45ACP, and 10,000 556, but spend no more than $100 per month.” Then the service would go out and every month send you something like 2 or 3 boxes of each caliber (keeping it under $100), until you’ve acquired 10,000 rounds. This way it doesn’t break your pocket, and less work for you. Any thoughts?

Glad that you’re still with us, please take care of yourself!

Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate this feedback.

I have several generic AR15 rifles, but I’m thinking of buying something better, something lighter, and more accurate. I’m looking at things like the Springfield Saint Victor POF-USA Minuteman BCM Recce Just started looking and thinking about it, what do people recommend? I’ve done a lot of reading but seems like everyone has a different opinion. Secondary question, should I buy 5.56, 308 or 6.5CM? I have several in 5.56, and I have a bolt action 6.5CM, both are good and have different uses. Should I buy in one of the bigger boy rounds?

I have two of these : VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam They work well, and record both forward and backward at the same time. I like it, but one of my vehicles (Silverado), it interferes with the brake sensors so I can't use the rare camera.

Sad really..

You are absolutely right and I’m absolutely blind for not finding that. I did look, but my eyes are not as young as they once were. Now I feel much better with this user name.

That is the only place I have seen him, so I can’t say.

If I get more cash, that’s the one I want to buy. Looks like it would be a great skinner knife.

Prices are reasonable, for example the last image in the first post is $130. . . And has been sold.

If you’re a nerd like me, you’ll like Big Bang Theory, if you liked that, Young Sheldon was surprisingly wonderful (especially Annie Potts as MeeMaw). There is a new spinoff called Georgies & Mandy’s first Marriage. I haven’t seen it yet, but it sounds good. None of these are art, just stupid fun.

Anyway I can change my user Name, I have been using this one for decades, but doesn’t reflect me anymore, I’ve been changing it. I would like to change it without losing my history here. Is there a formal method to making this happen?

10 Lessons on Radio Usage for SHTF from the Chechen Wars 1. “Chechens—shift frequencies during radio transmissions to avoid intercepts; Russians—continually scan all frequencies while retaining active ones already intercepted.” "In addition to not using cryptography, they did not regularly change frequencies because of the logistics challenges of synchronizing the process among every unit. U.S. forces, by comparison, change their communications format every 24 hours." 2. “Chechens—misinformation and overt intelligence “give-aways” used to fool federal forces and conceal real intentions; Russians—focus attention on “conventional words” and specific terminology used along with the bait.” “Russian forces also were subjected to massive onslaughts of disinformation. Dilegge reports that Russian units, were almost frozen, by confusion sowed in part by the Chechens. In one case in 1996, Chechens broadcast fake radio traffic from imaginary units in the clear for the Russians to deliberately hear.” 3. "Chechens—use more than one language when transmitting to confuse listeners; Russians—keep several interpreters on duty at any one time.” “…the Chechens had a native form of secure communications. While virtually every Chechen speaks Russian, almost no Russians speak Chechen. By adding a few simple code phrases, the rebels could communicate in the open without fear of interception in a manner similar to that of the U.S. Army's Navaho code talkers in the European theater. In addition, most of the Chechen radio operators recognized each other by voice.” 4. “Chechens—place radio sets and antennas in operational mode on trees as repeaters to avoid detection and remain intact if fired upon by artillery; Russians—use additional course and bearing indicators mounted on helicopters to locate more than one point of transmission.” 5. “Chechens—use deep ravines and canyons as natural corridors for radio waves to make intercepts impossible; Russians—place radio intercept equipment on vectors of transmissions on axes of ravines and canyons in plateau areas of Chechnya.” 6. “Chechens—use radios as auxiliary facilities only for notification of when and where to meet a messenger with information; Russians—pay particular attention not only to contents of transmission but to location of both respondents.” 7. “Chechens—constant change of nicknames and call-signs to produce uncertainty as to who is on the air; Russians—learn not only frequencies and nicknames but also personal linguistic traits of respondents.” "...Russian forces ignored many other basic communications security procedures. […] Chechen officials claim that they could intercept Russian tactical communications on their own commercial off-the-shelf radios. Code phrases used by the Russians in open communications were easily deciphered and understood." 8. “Chechens—intercept federal forces transmissions to gain intelligence; Russians—use alternative media and channels unavailable to insurgents.” “…Chechen officials, who also equipped women and children with these radios for intelligence purposes, say these handheld units were so valuable that they would have equipped every rebel with one if they could have afforded it." 9. "The Chechens also had six large Motorola base relay stations, which they placed on the high ground. The Russians could see the sites and their antennas during the day, but they only risked attacking them at night. By then, Chechen forces would have moved the sites. The Chechens claimed that they were in radio communications at distances of up to 100 kilometers (65 miles)." 10. "[Chechen forces were] equipped with a new commercial Motorola handheld radio purchased abroad. Russian forces, on the other hand, were using tactical radios as old as 30 years [...] 'at the tactical level, the Chechens had better communications than the Russians.'” You can buy a basic, bare-bones Baofeng UV-5R for $17 right now. No excuse not to have one. BaoFeng UV-5R for $17, with charger $20, or two for $38

This is where they should be members of the FPC and GOA and get them involved as their lawyers are excellent. As someone said above, it really does depend on the circumstances. For example, what if he lives in a tight community on ¼ acre lots; then the neighbors have a legitimate concern. If he has 100 acres, and was shooting toward their houses, still a problem. Otherwise, if he was doing nothing illegal, the judge should tell them to f-off.

Another option just popped up on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/380549672001655/permalink/8771377839585421/?sale_post_id=8771377839585421

This is not really 100% true, it really depends. USB-C in its initial form could only supply 5v and 3A, and ALL USB-C connectors are required to supply that. BUT as the specification has grown, it now can supply up to 50v and 5A, depending on the cable as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Power_Delivery In theory if you use a height power distribution power cable (one that supports the 50v, 5A mode), and a power brick (solar panel in this case), that cannot supply that; if it is poorly designed, then it could cause the electronics to overheat and be damaged (on the panels, not on the target device). That being said, most devices are designed to only put out the maximum it is designed for, regardless of the cable and device plugged into them. It should be safe to do.

That’s a good find! Thank you!

Happened to see this on Facebook, no idea if it is what you’re looking for or anything about it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/380549672001655/permalink/8759567617433110/?sale_post_id=8759567617433110

Has anyone read any of these manuals? Improvised Munitions Handbook TM 31 210 There are many different ones on Amazon, look interesting.

I have a life time membership to GOA, their installment plan to pay for it over 24 months (I think that was the term) made it easy. I finished my last payment a few months ago. I didn’t know we had a TFA, I’m going to look into them and see about getting a membership there. FPC is one I really like, but they don’t offer a lifetime membership and aren’t planning on it anytime soon (I had sent them an email asking about it and just got a response today). SAF I was a member for, but I didn’t seem them really doing anything. I’m not against them, but doesn’t seem to be the best place to put my money. And the NRA, well, I can’t justify becoming a member with them, not now anyway. I wish they would focus more on their training and insurance, and less on lining their pockets.
