Call a local machine or tool and die shop. They'll have a source.

Welcome!

While the Nashville area certainly has the most people, there's a fair number of us here in East TN. I'm not aware of places to sell online other than what you listed.

Honey bees aren't attracted to the meat. They might show interest if the bait is sweet and/or the trap is bright red or yellow, like flowers. From that video, I put a little dish soap in the ant trap above my hummingbird feeder. I've noticed wasps will feed and then go drink from the water bowl. Maybe this will get them.

Yep. I found a nest in my front yard at the base of a cherry tree while mowing. Two of the got me before I got away. That night I got the nest with wasp spray... just filled the exist with foam so they couldn't go in or out. I didn't use gas because it was at the base of the tree, but the tree died anyway.

Commercial vs residential would be my guess. I suppose he could establish an LLC, but then zoning and environmental regs might be a problem in addition to all the crap that goes with owning your own business.

Most cities prohibit the discharge of a firearm anywhere, anytime. If yours contains that language, I'd say you're SOL. If it doesn't, getting a building permit will likely be your next hurdle. Being down in a hole with lead residue isn't a great idea either.

I was thinking more tools from Lowes rather than the Snap-On truck. While shops may track tools, I highly doubt the tool OEM does on relatively inexpensive stuff. $10,000 test benches? Yep. $500 impact wrenches? I doubt it.

Tools aren't serialized and tracked. They've no way to know which tool came from where. That's why they want you to have the receipt and the box.

How would a tool manufacturer know if they were stolen? Does the warranty cover anyone other than the initial purchaser with proof thereof?

I have several of his as well. He does good work.

And they want to go to a fully subscription based service where you don't own or install anything but a user interface. You connect to their server because that's where the software is. You have no control over what they change or when they change it.

Welcome!

I really like my frankenFAL. It's heavy, but heavy in the same way a BHP is heavier than a Glock. Apparently I should move the BHP further up "the list", I wasn't aware it was the issued sidearm.

Good thing collusion isnt a crime anymore. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hopefully he'll work out better than Jesse Ventura.

Reminds me of this article I read not long ago.... https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/air-mail-to-baghdad-180968982/

The technology exists to do that very thing today. It's not cheap, but it's there.

Kia/Hyundai/Daewoo is a total knock-off company. When they did it their way, we got the masterpiece known as the Excel. It was awful and they knew it. They also knew their neighbors at Toyota made pretty good cars. So they poached a fair number of key people and adopted Toyota's quality system. It took a decade or more, but the cars got better. Once their quality wasn't bottom of the barrel, they decided they needed better styling. So they poached a few German designers and suddenly their cars started looking like Mercedes and Audis. All the safety regulations now drive the designs in the same direction, and car sales aren't real good, so no one is willing to go out on a limb style wise.

I immediately think misdirection. What don't they want us to see?

What Garufa said. Not sure about the light/no strikes either, unless the tip broke off the firing pin. Some surplus ammo can have pretty hard primers, so light strikes could look like no strikes. Slam fire is pretty unlikely, but there's no way you could control it if you weren't expecting it. The 3rd or 4th round would be at least a foot up. Any rounds after that will be way off target. It'll empty the 10 round magazine in just over a second.

Whether you invest the time learning to use a dremel or CAD, you end up at the same place. Free CAD models are available for thousands of objects. If people choose not to pursue IP rights and give their work away, that's their choice. I fail to see the basis for these lawsuits.

Metal 3D printers capable of any sort of reasonable accuracy are fairly pricey. What's the difference between a 3D printed "firearm" using carbon filled filament and an 80% lower that gets finished with a dremel?

I think that's part of the issue... Judges can approve these seizures without a hearing where the defendant is represented. I'm sure they're using pre-existing court records as justification so there is some form of due process, but it's potentially a slippery slope. Time will tell if (or how much) it gets abused.
