I live about 30 minutes from Lebanon. As far as Norfolk/VA Beach and Northern Va (or as I call it, occupied Virginia) they might as well be in a different country as compared to the place you're...
The SRH is probably stronger but the SBH feels better in my hand.

Patton was no coward. In the Mexican Expedition before WWI, Patton and his small squad (in the first motorized combat) engaged in a firefight with Mexican bandits. Patton accounted for at least a...

Patton was no coward. He didn't carry .38's and his handguns didn't have pearl handles. He also wasn't in the Italian Campaign unless we count Sicily, so perhaps the article is talking about...

This whole thing leaves me sort of stunned. A long time ago, before I ever loaded my first round, I STUDIED the first half of a reloading manual, and I mean studied hard. By the time I had...

I have an M44 that I paid $49 with my C&R license. Those days are gone with the wind! I have an M38 as well, and a Fin M91 (not 91/30). I've killed a bunch of deer with the Fin. I regret not...

Very impressive young woman, the world needs more like her. As far as the negativity, well, some people think blowing out someone else's candle makes theirs burn brighter. It doesn't.

I have a Pacific O7. I wouldn't change it at all.

I've done malt extract kits, made up my own recipes with extract, went to extract/grain recipes and finally to all grain recipes. Pipefitter is right about the soda kegs, so much easier than...

Keep the pictures coming! I could picture in my mind what you were saying but those two images are really worth a thousand words! I don't see the OAL for the new cartridge as being a problem, any...

It is a great degreaser. I worked at a factory as a 200 ton press operator right after I got out of the Air Force in the late 80's. When we changed tooling, there would be a lot of grease that...

This is a very interesting threat to me. I'm a big fan of the K31 and have killed several deer with one. I understand MOST of what you are doing, but not all, since I've never done it myself. I'll...

Traditions is still in business, right? I bet if you contacted them you could get one, maybe for free. Doesn't hurt to ask. EDIT- I misread your original post. You're wanting an improved design...

I would highly recommend a PID. Mine is a separate unit. I read about them, ordered the parts on Amazon and built it. Dead simple if you don't overthink it. It keeps the temperature right on the...

Finely powdered boric acid will kill them. I HATE the things, never saw one until I went to college. I was stationed in Montgomery Alabama, we had the huge ones there. Seems like they were under...

You can brew beer and ferment wine but you cannot legally distill any alcohol. It's a federal offense. You cannot legally even own an unregistered still. It's federal offense for a miller to mill...

I wonder how much "tumbling" ammo gets in the military, riding in trucks and tanks and whatnot going off road and on dirt roads and everywhere else. I've never heard of an issue with it, and some of...

My father was a WWII Army Infantry veteran, I was in the Air Force (on his advice) and my son joined the Marines straight out of high school (against my advice). He signed up for Infantry and...

Well, I'm not a socialist. I just think they are liars and I won't do business with them.

My problem with Cheaper Than Dirt was false advertising. They advertised some ammo at a price in an ad in American Rifleman, when I tried to order it THE SAME DAY I got the magazine, it was...
