As I've posted many times, I'm a person that has lived with chronic pain (majority of which is nerve damage related) for a couple of decades. I had my first comparatively minor surgery in 2008, second 2015. These did little to nothing to relieve pain, but saved the use of my hands/arms. Still...

I really enjoy tinkering. I reckon I've developed a reputation of being that guy. "Let's take it to Cdog and see what he can do with it." Let me preface this with "I'm not here to bash Ruger." I own several and enjoy them all. I was recently brought a stainless adjustable sight Ruger Bearcat...

I realize this is kinda off the wall, but I feel compelled to share. Around noon today I stopped by a nearby Big Box sporting goods retailer. I was looking at one of the Diamondback .22 rimfire revolvers. There were three young men carrying on a conversation about military service, benefits...

I read this email I received this morning and felt the need to share it with you. Below is a copy and paste of the email text body. Enjoy! REVOLUTIONARY NEW CARTRIDGE 7.7 MM TOMCAT PATENTS APPROVED in 2023 We are happy to announce the issuance of our patents (USPO #6679-321-44789F -...

In today’s world my story isn’t likely to be the surprise it would have been just a short time ago. My wife’s father retired from Ford and she’s never bought any other brand car. As our need for a large 3rd row seat vehicle has become unnecessary and the car is developing electrical gremlins...

The subtitle should be “Bargain Yourself To The Poorhouse.” I recently picked up a Winchester 1873 Rifle version, 1889 manufactured chambered in 32 WCF or more commonly called 32-20 today. I stopped by a local gun shop yesterday because I remembered seeing a plethora of odd/obscure caliber new...

With money the way it is today I’m struggling a bit about buying more handgun powder. My dilemma, I’ve found two lbs each of Vihtavuori 3N37 and N340. I use both products and have several lbs on hand. I’m not really needing any of either, but what I’ve found is priced at $35/lb. Normally I...

We've been close a few times earlier, but there was frost on the pumpkins this morning. I'm located out in the county away from in town heating. Nice clear sky, so no blanket to hold in yesterday's warmth. I have mixed feelings. It should slow the yard work down, help with some fall color, but...

Non Political! Simply speaking to ya'll about reality. Please let's not get this thread locked. I'm facing the reality most others are, inflation. Looking at my spending I don't blow a lot of money on "stuff" on a regular basis, but I have my moments of weakness. Like most, my family isn't...

This week I went by a local ammunition/reloading supply shop that I've done business with for around 20 years. This is no small hole in the wall operation. They have purchasing power. Two or three years back they usually beat the competition by a wide margin. I understood why they went up when...

Traditionally the cost of some ammo has made cost savings a topic of debate. The 9X19 has been at or near the top of this list for quite some time. With primer cost still pushing the 10 cent each mark, plus availability still being an issue finding newly manufactured brass case ammo under 30...

My loading area is located in the basement, one short wall of concrete blocks, one short wall of paneling. The longer walls are studs for a finished great room, the other wall containing a corner entrance and about 10' of hand built shelving standing 6' tall. I have an 8' bench anchored to the...

I’ll preface this thread with S&W being more of a handgun forum I realize there’s likely a majority of straight wall loaders that ain’t near as likely to put as much wear and tear on a case trimmer that bottleneck loader will. That out there, here we go. I’ve been using a powered RCBS trimmer...

Many here are likely experienced enough to already know what I’m about to post. In April for several reasons I closed (at least thought I had) my Netflix account. I wasn’t billed nor was it available from mid May through yesterday. Well guess what? It appears anyone that had access to the...

I’ve had this measure for some time now and thought I’d pass along my thoughts on this very affordable metal constructed measure. It arrived well coated with oil, so definitely follow pre-use cleaning instructions. For cleaning patches and swabs soaked in 92% rubbing alcohol works for me...

I have a good sized yard, around 4 acres that I mow weekly this time of year. Some of the yard is shaded, some doesn't drain well, some I don't know. Bottom line, to keep my 61" mower cutting properly I have to remove grass build up much more than I ever imagined. Hoping for all the dew and as...

My wife and I have been in our new to us 50+ year old house for 3 years now. During that time we’ve had a few power outages. The worst was around 5 days without power. Seems we’re at the tail end of a small low priority section. Luckily I was able to borrow a small generator from a friend. It...

While browsing the handloading section at Midway I found several RCBS products priced well below even "sale" price. I thought I'd pass this along if you or someone you know may be in the market for loading hardware. Below is one example of what I consider to be a genuine bargain. RCBS Rock...

I’ve been seeing their holes, they’ve now become more daring than ever. My wife and I both have seen them near my tractor/mower building at various times of day. Sunday I brought my CZ 452 22LR upstairs to our bedroom. I checked zero with 40gr SK Match at 50 yds, dead on. Monday I’d been home...

It's been windy here in NW Ga. for a while, quite common for March. Friday I ripped and cut four wooden stakes to reinstall a granddaughter's Senior 2022 yard sign that had already broken two of the standard metal push in H frame stake mounts. Due to the stakes covering too much I ended up using...
