  1. The price has went up a little over the last few months but since reloading supplies are harder to come by than loaded ammunition no one is buying brass unless it is something expensive to buy. A reasonable price for a buyer and seller as of today is about $3/lbs which is about 70 pcs. Less for military crimped. If it is all the same headstamp and clean brass it could go for $5/lbs that assumes someone even wants it. Loaded .223 has been reappearing and there is little to no cost savings in loading .223. Someone may change it into 300 blackout though.
  2. I haven't used a Ryobi in a very long time. I see a lot of them being used though.
  3. One more thing, certain 4.0's will have a highly desireable rear Dana 44 axle. You will have to crawl under it to find out. The Dana 44 will have a metal plug on the differential plate and the undesirable Dana 35 will have a rubber plug. The Dana 35 isn't all that bad but the right person will pay $1000 more for one with a Dana 44. It's not anything that is a deal breaker on a otherwise perfect jeep but the Dana44 is sought after by many.
  4. I don't, I see no similarities in the higher end brands. Obviously they operate the same but they share little to no parts.
  5. I have been Wrangler less for 2 years now. I gave up a 06 4.0, auto, 33's, 3.73's. Turning the O/D off everytime I cranked it helped mileage and made driving it more pleasant. I think I even broke 18mpg's once.
  6. Poulan and Craftsman really are, probably one or two others as well. Most of the professional lines have very little in common.
  7. I have owned a lot of Stihl blowers, they have been great, I just find the Stihl string trimmers too heavy. I also dislike the heads a little. I know some guys with Echo trimmers that have ran for 10k hours or more. I don't mind Redmax but they have a few flaws like shocking your arm all the damn time.
  8. I tend to favor 97-06 TJ's over YJ's and JK's. YJ's have a vacuum assist on the front axle(will never bother 90% of people). Factory soft tops are better on TJ's and TJ's actually ride very well. YJ's aren't bad the early Peugeot 5speeds have given some trouble. People say 4cyl 5speeds are dogs but I have never really felt they were all that bad. People that buy them as weekend toys complain far less about 4cyl, daily driver 4cyl can get a little annoying. The 2.5 4cyl actually is a pretty good engine, just weak. Kind of rare but the 04-06 2.4l 4cyl you may want to stay away from for no reason other than just being an oddball. The 4.0 is really the preffered engine. If the top will be off 95% of the time get the half doors but with the top on the full steel doors are so much quiter. If ride quality, being able to pull a small boat, and extra room mean a lot, the Unlimited is nice.
  9. I have been in and out of the lawn care and nursery business my entire life. The best string trimmer on the market at any price is a Kawasaki. I can't remember the model but it retails for about $250, the smoothest most well balanced machine I have ever used. There is no longer a dealer in Chattanooga for them, they never wear out and they use the same heads as the newer Red Max(black head).
  10. I have had a half dozen Wranglers over the years. Great vehicles and hold their value very well. If it is a weekend toy, the 2.5 4cyl is fine. I actually prefer it over the older carbureted 4.2l(90 and older). The 4.0 is a very good engine. There isn't much to stay away from on wranglers, but if 32" or larger tires are a desire stay away from the 4.0 w/ 3.07 gears. If you have the money for a Rubicon do it! As far as the 07 and up JK's, 07's had available 4.10 gears and is heavily desired. The newer 12 &13's with the 3.6's are a beast. How much are you looking to spend?
  11. I got almost the same deal last year on a TroyBuilt string trimmer. It is the biggest pile of crap I have ever touched. I will give you mine, it even has an electric motor to start it, it is a good thin because it is the only way anyone can start it. If I had saved the box I would have taken it back.
  12. She, the granny, needs to go to the court house and do an order of protection. You as an extended family member will not be able to get one. Of there have ever been reports of violence, theft or other criminal incidents they need to know, otherwise they will probably not issue the OOP. If he has ever lived there, go ahead and get him evicted as well. A restraining order is a waist of your time and money. It must be filed by an attorney, only last 15 days and the police will not do crap about it. They will say to take him to civil court. But, since he has been told by the police to not come back he can be arrested for criminal trespass.
  13. Truthfully, TN laws are messed up with order of protection/ restraining order. The only way they hold weight is if an incident(criminal) has already occurred and then one is issued. An example would be if I got into a fight with my son. I would be released on a conditional bond and a order of protection issued. If I went to his house afterwards, I could be arrested. If I threaten my nephew or even beat him up, not domestic in TN, he can get a restraining order. If I go to his house the police will respond and ask me to leave. That is about all that will happen, unless another incident has occurred. Restraining orders can be issued without an incident occurring, and can be issued outside of domestic, family relationships but they are in my opinion about worthless depending on the county you live in. Order of protections will came back generally on a check so it can be enforced just about anywhere. If you are holding the paper on a TRO, the police may or may not be able to confirm it on the spot. An arrest may take a while and be served several days later.
  14. I have my grandpas 44mag, he is still around but the gun actually gets oiled at my house. Hard hitting gun, I think Ruger should have made it in 9mm and 45 with a removable magazine.
  15. There are a couple of issues here. One being that Miranda only protects a defendant against his own words being used to prosecute him without waiving his/her rights. They have all the evidence they need to prosecute and they are still gathering it. Any words he says without being questioned wil be used against him. The Supreme Court says in today's age any reasonable, mentally competent adult knows spontaneous statements to police are incriminating. They should just question him all they want. Miranda warning is so over thought, half the time I don't care what try have to say, so I don't read them. Normally it is detectives that want to question not patrols making arrest for crimes we saw happen.
  16. You have the right to protect yourself and others from eminent bodily harm and that is about it. You can't even shoot him fr threatening to beat your a**. You can't shoot because he took $200 from under granny's pillow. You can only shoot if you, her, or someone is getting ready to suffer severe injury or possible death from him. In TN, people read too much into the Castle Doctirine. Know you can protect yourself and others and that you do not have an obligation to retreat, all this assuming you have a legal reason to be at the dwelling.
  17. If he comes back call 911 and yell, help! Give the address if it is a cell phone. Don't do anymore than you have to force wise. You are not justified shooting him for just being there. If he is breaking and entering you still don't but you would stand the chance of being exhaunerated by the courts if you were in fear of your life.

    LC380

    LCP's are wonderful but they are really snappy. The LC380 can't have that much reduced recoil over a LC9 but I guess every little bit matters. I guess Ruger thought if they are being made for other countries, we might as well try selling them in the US also. I can't see a huge amount of sales for the LC380 but if someone reloads .380 and not 9, if someone is really recoil shy, if their other guns are .380.....
  19. It is true. If it were me, I would just buy a barrel for the one I will shoot the most. I have shot a lot of lead through stock Glock barrels, but I clean them often.
  20. If he is on orders to TN then he essentially has dual residents. Even if they are TDY, he can legally buy and sell in TN through private party.

    Large dog toys

    The black Kongs are Extremely tuff, even the red ones are wel built.
  22. Perfectly legal.
  23. If you are going to wear it twice, don't bother with this but buy two pairs of paints with every suit. The paints show wear so much faster. I don't wear my coat in the car, getting out for gas, around the building.... It's a practice that I always try to do.
  24. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with a good Stafford from Penney's. Some of my favorites have come from Penny's, Belk, and Parisian. I have have found a deal at Josa Banks and Mens Warehouse before. Don't be affraid to tell them what you want to spend.
