Don't really need a cast iron stove, just an outhouse sized building over a fire pit.

Wow. Given the number of them I see why they drive them like that. Not exactly "hunting" IMO, but fantastic shooting nonetheless. He should team up with this guy... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk

    Standard 10 rd mag or AK mags?   This appears to show how to replace the spring: http://preparetosurviveincalifornia.blogspot.com/2011/08/installing-larger-magazine-release-on.html   And this appears to be the spring: http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=SP19&name=SKS+Latch+Spring+%26+Sear+Spring&groupid=72       Re: trigger group   Be aware that removing the trigger group can be kind of a PITA.  The guys on youtube make it look really easy because not only have they done it 100 times, they've done it to that particular rifle 100 times.   Putting it back in can be even more of a PITA, especially when you forget how it goes in the time for the trigger to be reworked.  I used a variety of 4 letter words when reinstalling mine.  The improvement in the trigger was absolutely worth it.

    You can turn amber alerts off on your phone.  Look for something to the effect of "government or emergency alerts" in your settings.  That may impact weather alerts as well. 

Welcome!

No argument. Charge whatever the market will bear. Last night I learned that my defiant works quite well as a mower headlight. Tough to get finished mowing when it gets dark 45 mins after I get home. The kids thought it was great fun as well.

I hear lots of talk about issues with reholstering. How often to people do that? Do they just blindly jam the thing in the holster? The gun goes in the holster, very carefully, in the morning. It slides in under less than its own weight until it hits the retention. After checking the trigger/safety (again), it gets pushed the rest of the way. I fail to see how a reholstering discharge is such a significant problem.

It's a school, I'd guess knives were already verboten.

I now see that most sites say that the stuff in tins is corrosive. I was thinking of the boxes that say non-corrosive. I'd assume its the same stuff, but maybe not. The safest assumption is that it is corrosive and should be treated accordingly.

  That's exactly what it is.  It's not the cheap corrosive surplus from many decades ago. It comes on stripper clips and is non-corrosive, so that helps justify the cost.  The bullets are only 150 gr so I'm guessing it's down-loaded practice ammo, which isn't necessarily a bag thing as the rifle is rather a cannon with the 200 gr loads. 

What they said.  High energy working dogs can be a chore to deal with sometimes.  They're excellent companions and guard dogs, but if you're the type that works 10-12 hrs/day (and can't take the dog with you), this dog is not for you. 

    ... and an indication of how much margin they're making. 

I use this.  With a couple simple modifications, it works great.    http://www.homedepot.com/p/Brinkmann-Smoke-N-Grill-Charcoal-Smoker-and-Grill-810-5302-S/100606041

I did the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños a while back. Other than taking 3x as long as I thought to cook, they were delicious.

Sweet! Read this.... http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinHumor.htm

Exactly! How else do we get our wives to let us sit around drinking beer all day and doing very little actual work? "Oh gee hon', I can't take out the trash right now, gotta check on the smoker..." :)

Yes, it has to have been a kingsnake. They're very similar in appearance to black rat/racer snakes. Either way, good reason to not kill any black snake. It either eats copperheads or it eats rats and other vermin.

I got to see the 1st inning, the bottom of the 2nd, and that's it.  I'm happy for the Royals.  :up:

Sorry for your loss.  I'll add to what 10-ring said... I think the HS Sport King may be closer to $600.  The old .22's just keep going up.  Everything else I agree with.

Electric smokers.... Blasphemy! Where there's smoke, there must be fire. I have a small charcoal/wood smoker that only needs tended to every 1-2 hours.

Hope so. :)

Fraternities, because paying for friends just doesn't get any better than push-ups in a Hooters bathroom while wearing a diaper. ?

Thanks. I assumed they weren't just for decoration.
