ad closed Stiller 2500xr Sold pending meet
Hozzie replied to zweibelkopf's topic in Firearms Classifieds
I will take this pending inspection (I don’t expect anything is wrong with it, but would like to check it before 100% commitment). Pm incoming. -
For me, it is the angle of the grip whicj gives more control and the blade is on the left hand side which makes it easier to see what you are cutting (especially if you are right handed). It is designed more like a worm saw which is quite frankly just a much better style of saw. I would say go hold both and you can decide. If you are right handed I wouldn’t personally ever buy a saw with the blade where I have to look over it to see what I am doing. Also be sure you are comparing the 7.25” to the 7.25” and not the 6.5”. As I can see there is only $20 difference between the two 7.25” versions.

I have done both and certainly more cost effective you build your own, but I prefer to use a toolbox so I have storage under it. You can never have enough storage. I have a 50" Milwaukee toolbox that I used. I personally added a double layer of 3/4" plywood that is glued and screwed under wood top on the toolbox for extra support. For me, the support of the top is critical. I then screwed the whole thing to the wall for extra stability. You can build a simply one out of 2x4's, just make sure to put a post directly under the where you will have the press(es) for the load to be pushed to the floor. I guess it also depends on the "accuracy" you are looking for. I want as little movement/flex as possible as I load for precision/accuracy most of the time. Like most things, budget and frankly expectations are the key factors.

Lake City ammo too dangerous for civilians
Hozzie replied to 1fast4by's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
The question is simply who owns the rights the name Lake City. No telling what the contract actually says, but they will always try to bully business to get what they want. And Winchester makes other headstamped ammo. Just keep it coming on those lines, although I am sure they are already maxed out. Or buy additional press plates. There is money to be made. Someone will do it. -

Fine, just fulfill the govt. contract to the exact number, change the label and rebrand it for the commercial market. I am also not sure how the Govt can just change the contract terms for the supplier. Winchester is not a govt entity. I have done plenty of business with govt. They don't get to tell us what we can and can't sell to other people. If the Govt is supplying the whole goods, then maybe, but that doesn't make sense either. -

My garden is far enough away from the house that watering without some type of line to it would be annoying. I trenched in a line last year and put in a drip irrigation system. It makes it so much nicer just to turn on the faucet and let it water everything from the base and not waste a bunch of water with sprinklers. At the end of the year, I just unhook each drip line and roll it up and use it again the next year. A bit of cost, but a garden saver at times like this. https://smile.amazon.com/Drip-Irrigation-Small-Farms-Water/dp/B019CPLJVC/ref=sr_1_5?crid=VXXVEY86V7UE&keywords=drip+depot+irrigation+kit&qid=1655242520&sprefix=drip+dep%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-5 Or go to www.dripdepot.com. They have a lot of options.

For what? 22-250 is my favorite caliber. Love some high speed small bullets.

I am a big fan of Milwaukee, but for Lawn related items, I think EGO is about the best there is right now. The problem with all of this is one ends up with so many chargers, etc. If you are just building up your arsenal (so to speak), one brand is definitely the way to go. I have had Makita 18v's for so many years I can't remember how many and have so many tools it would cost me thousands to upgrade to Milwaukee although I would like to and am sure I will at some point. I added the EGO 750 cfm blower recently and it is excellent. It has replaced my Echo backpack blower. I am not ready to start selling my Stihl trimmers, pole saw, etc just yet, but that day may come (although my extendable pole saw isn't going anywhere). Being on a farm, batteries will only go so far when cutting trees, etc, so I don't see myself going away from gas on those anytime soon, but for small jobs they are nice. Although the new small Stihl saws are so light it's really a toss up.

Easy to make headlines. Look deeper. From the order: We received your letters dated April 28, 2022, requesting to transfer General Revenue funds—as detailed below—to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor Strategy A.1.1., Disaster Funds. These transfers are meant to support the deployment of the National Guard with $465.3 million and to support border operations in other state agencies with $30 million. We understand the Fiscal Years 2020-2021 appropriations would otherwise lapse and be unavailable to your agencies and that the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations have been fully funded with other sources. Thus this transfer will not affect any agency or program function.

I was out on Sunday. Great riding weather.

As an atheist, I will take a bit of a different view, but will ultimately not be far off from what I think most "God" people on here are saying. First, I don't believe that you have to be "religious" to understand right from wrong and to have a moral compass. Morals is a broad subject and we aren't going to agree on everything, but it's pretty simple to know right from wrong in the context of killing people. Why does this keep happening? Because for the most part, no one is held accountable. In the case of kids doing these things, we need to start holding parents accountable. I don't just mean a slap on the wrist or financial. I mean with extreme prejudice. If you want to coddle, cajole, and otherwise not take any responsibility for how your kids acts and the actions they take, then society should emphatically make an example of you. At some point, even the dumbest people stop putting their hands on the hot stove.

Good choice. When you get to buying a saw, go with this one. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-7-1-4-in-Rear-Handle-Circular-Saw-Tool-Only-2830-20/309245503 PS: I should have added, keep the 5amp battery. At some point you will even want some smaller 2 amp batteries.

I'm surprised they're not on the front of every MSM site available. It's the bigotry that drove him to it because he was bullied. Seems like the trifecta for liberals. Bullying, Bigotry, and those evil guns.

If it was the only saw I would have for a while I would be buying a cordless skill saw. Worm drive if available. If I am buying new into the cordless realm I prefer Milwaukee. Dewalt and Makita second. I have all of them, and a mitre is definitely nice, but you can cut so much more with a skill saw. Get a straight edge if you need longer cuts. Use a speed square to cut accurate 45’s if needed. Both is the best answer, but I would personally start with a good skill saw.

I finally got my tractor so I could till my garden today. Another round tomorrow and planting everything. Better late than never I guess.

Uh, where's the gun? Need to know if he is a 1911 or Glock guy (need to determine how good/bad his early judgement is).

I actually bought a 257 Roberts just so I could say I was going hunting with Bob. -

Man, that brings back some memories. Spent a lot of time putting clays on one of those. Need to convince myself I don't need this. -
Cerakote services (or Hydrodip) in MidTN
Hozzie replied to Sproles Shooting's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
There was a guy in Spring Hill that had a business called Amendment 2 custom coatings or something like that. Not sure if they are still doing it, but may be worth a search and phone call. He did a rifle for me and it turned out good.
