I only drink hard cider and expensive bourbon. I'm too cheap to buy bourbon and none of the places we go to serves cider. I buy a six pack and it lasts me about six weeks. On the 15th my wife and...

I don't think that our son had any hats without ears until he was five or six. :)

Sort of. Vikings tended to bathe daily. Many of their slaves were women who did not wear fetters for some strange reason. Also, many ended up in Scandinavian families... ;)

Glad to hear that the Waldron folks aren't the scam-runners from Florida. I've got my training company up and running (finally!) and will be running a dealership for them as well. They have access...

When I get my Mosin Nagant I'll slug its barrel since I plan on only shooting cast through it.

As long as they are built into full rifles/pistols and fired ONCE they are GTG. They are firearms at that point which were built for personal use. You would have to engrave them with a SN if you...

Scored five boxes of PMC FMJ 90gr for $18.99 ea/50 the day before we picked up the P238. After one range trip with it we're down to 125-ish rounds. ;)

Terminal ballistics over 300m can't keep up with an AR-10 in 7.62. Too short an impulse with the powder.

I'm patient. I have access to plenty of .224 j-words right now and am still getting my funding together for the .224 swage set. My .22lr cases aren't going anywhere. :)

I so got to get back to being employed so I can score one of these kits. Fortunately, the .22lr sorting is done and I should not run out very soon after I start the squishing.
