While on the way to the Mercedes dealership Friday to have the new SRS control module programmed I installed two weeks ago the check engine light came on. The tech told me what it was "Fuel trim banks 1 & 2", and cleared the code. I now have airbags back in service, they had been disabled for...

I gave up waiting for powder to make it to the shelves near me and ordered 4 lbs, two lil gun and two h110 from Midway. After tax, shipping an hazmat it came to over $180. Now I'm sitting here waiting on the UPS driver, he normally comes by around 6 pm.

I am thinking of getting a shotgun in 410 for small game. This is incase the world goes to ****. I already have a good supply of 410 for use in my Governor and a couple Charles Daly's Honchos. The shot gun would provide a backup option for hunting where a 22lr is not practical.

I have a generic AR15 that got some range time today and it finaly worked right. It is chambered in 12.7 x 42 and has been giving me fits on feeding, I tried several different magazines and finaly got some Alexander Arms mags (metal 10 round) and installed the single stack adapter in them and I...

I bought another 200 shares of Ammo Inc common stock today, figured it was better to buy a piece of the ammo plant instead of more ammo. According to press release they have sold their entire production run for the year already.

My solution to the increased cost of gas was to retire, instead of a tank of gas a week I figure a tank of gas a month.

In light of recent events they have proven that no civilian should have a AR15, that is the non military version. Every able citizen who wants a rifle to defend their country as outlined in the Constitution should be provided a select fire rifle of their preference and at least a thousand...

I went a bought a very lightly used 9 EZ Smith yesterday from a coworker who wanted to get a 40 for graduation from the apprenticeship but his wife would only allow him to have two guns. A couple of weeks ago I got the dies needed for 9mm just because they were available. Now I have a 9 with...

While out on my walk earlier today I heard a door open and almost immediately there were 2 dogs coming towards me. I held my cane up with the handle out as the business end. The larger of the two veered off while the smaller one was heading for my ankles, he met the ebony ball handle then...

I was at work yesterday when the boss comes up and tells me I have to leave right away. Turns out the guy I was working with the day before go a positive on a Covid test. Now I get to stay home all next week, I did some work on the old Mercedes today (the ABS is working again) then went for a...

The AM/FM tuner in my 21 year old S430 Mercedes gave up the ghost during the cold snap a couple weeks ago, the only part that works is the CD changer and these rough roads cause it to skip frequently. After some testing and researching I decided to go with a aftermarket unit that will bring it...

My favorite bullet supplier (XTreme) for range use finally got some 50 cal in stock so I ordered two boxes, that should last me a couple years.

A few days ago I got a air soft bb gun, looks like an AR and it came with 5000 bb's for less than $150. Yesterday I went to Bas Pro and picked up a couple of targets and a jug of 10,000 bb's. The small range is coming along ok, a few more days we should have a nice little setup. So far the...

Yesterday I asked my son if he would consider setting up a bb gun range in his basement next door, he was all in for it. Today I ordered a ar style bb gun and it even comes with 5000 bb's. I bet it don't have anywhere near the recoil of my other ar in 12.7 x 42's.

I loaded some 12.7 x 42's yesterday, I had 250 pieces of new Starline brass, 1.5 lbs of LilGun and 242 .500 bullets consisting of 142 Berrys 300 grain RNFP and 50 Horndy 300 XTP magnums. When I was done I had 8 new cases primed, 7 charges of powder left and no bullets. I guess I am done...

I did get to enjoy doing some reloading this past weekend, I had 100 new 460 magnum cases, twenty 454's and ten 45LC. That kept me busy for a little while. When I was done I got bored and started browsing gun stuff, now I have 250 12.7 x 42's on back-order with Starline. This whole beer virus...

I loaded 69 rounds of 12.7 x 42 (50 beowulf) this morning to 40 grains of LilGun, I did 70 but had to trash one (found a split case while checking with the chamber checker). As I was setting up to do the 30 rounds of 460 magnums I noticed that the same amount of H110 was dropped by my powder...

After looking at some of the advantages of working in a powerplant as a mechanic with access to a vast collection of tools and machinery at my disposal I have come to the decision that I need to put a shop together. I don't plan or working much, but I can't stand not being able to work on...

I was sizing some 460's this morning, I already did the 45 Colts and 454's I shot yesterday. I went to pull down on the 3rd 460 casing and darn if the handle came off. I snapped the threaded portion off in the press. This is a RCBS Summit about 3 years old, the handle looks to be made from...

A few weeks ago I bought a AR15 in 50 Beowulf from a freind, I have had it to the range twice and both times I had some problems with feeding from the magazines. The other day it was better but I noticed with the Polymar80 mags I got that were labeled for the 50 had two problems. The first was...
