Heckuva story begging to be told there.

Interesting comments, all. Short version: which is a better business decision, to charge a long term customer $30, or $120 for the same transaction? Former is advertised price, the latter "store policy" Short term, the answer is the $120, grab the money and go. Customer retention is not an...

Yes, perfectly normal for when they have something in stock, or when they order something for their stock. Other situations for transfers, they'll have their FFL on file with a dealer or large distributor. Order something, the dealer/distributor ships legally to the FFL holder who received the firea...

You got a point, doc, but...... Got no problem paying real money for professional people to do their job - dentist, plumber, electrician, lawyer. Smartest thing you can do is admit you ain't *that* smart and pay money to get someone smarter than you. In this case there is no 'smart. It's signing for...

Good to know you made it out alive! Year or two or more back, SMKW posted an email or blog entry (can't find it now) to the effect that their products may have been exposed to nickel, lead, arsenic, plutonium or whatever CA is worried about this week. Since they're a warehouse too, and all the produ...

That was almost a religious experience watching that video.

Here in southwest OH, local town has grant money and they're re-habbing old homes.

They set one of these doors in a small flowerbed with a couple other decorations in the front yard to show the building they're working on.

Marbles makes a copy, $7 from Smoky Mountain Knife Works

https://www.smkw.com/marbles-gi-utility-knife

It's a functional little pocket knife, at that price you won't cry if you lose it or break it.

Not built at heavy or thick as the original Camillus. Still a good working knife though.

Long video (thirty something) but well worth it.

Good examples showing the evolution of levers, and the contributions John Moses Browning (praise to his name) made to them.

Already got a single six with the dual cylinders, but I'd be tempted.

That MSRP will have the store price at $180 or so?

Might be a good little truck camper or kit gun.

Good article. Give a troop a weapon that lethal, lighter than the one he has, and also he can carry a lot more rounds for it for the same weight, what's not to like? Intro of the M16 was the same usual politics, bickering, and ***k-measuring that has plagued the military services for decades. Furthe...

I looked over his "manifesto." Claims that he is a white supremacist are false. EXACTLY! He put out pages of why he was doing this, essentially 'gaming' the news media and creating an event for today's internet age. And the media is completely ignoring it, since it doesn't fit their narra...

DST seems to have come earlier than usual this year We once has 'regular' DST, way back in the day. Maybe a good idea at the time. That's when we lit homes with candles and kerosene lanterns. 2005, we went to 'extended' DST, moving up the start date in spring and making it longer in the fall. All i...

I'm pretty much a zen and motorcycle maintenance guy and have had...discussions with people in the past about using the right tool for the job.

That's interesting and a fun video For those without the time - guy shoots the ohio peace officers carbine qualification with a lever gun.

Cat head biscuits. Instead of rolling them out and cutting with a biscuit/cookie cutter (or old can), the dough is left a little moister and 'shaggy'. Take a spoonful of dough the size of a small cat's head, drop 'em on the baking sheet. Just gives you a different shaped biscuit. They're all good th...

Seen that before. Couple different thoughts... Some are doing that just to help the family out and it's a more discreet way that just dropping off an envelope. (ignoring the autioneer's fee) Alternate, it's sentimental or bragging rights, "oh, that old .30-30, that used to belong to old Joe Bag...

What I don't understand is why a thief would steal the gun out of the box and still ship the empty box. The thief is inside the UPS system and here's why. If the thief took the rifle and ditched the box then the package tracking would show exactly where the box was when it dropped off the system Se...

Gunnery Sgt. Ermey (I feel he more than deserves full title and respect) made a good impression with Kubrick, and from there, rest is history. And yes, FMJ is disturbing, as it should be. Actually most of Kubrick's films are disturbing when you get into and really watch them. We lost a good one when...

Gosh, another polymer frame striker fired handgun? I'm excited. (yawn) Seriously, it's interesting.

I like Mossberg, good functional 'stuff', mo...

Another shout-out for the Optivisor model. Yes, the magnifier with a light on a stand is very useful, but the Optivisor on your head is a lot more portable. You'll use in a lot more places than just reloading after you get used to it. On Amazon the base model is about $30 and you can spend as you wi...

Thanks much for the comments and I'll do that up with the bolts when I strip it apart again. Wanted to add a bolt gun (and in 30-06) to the collection and this looks like a good entry-level work gun.

Got a Mini, early '80's vintage, 183 series. Good, no great gun for what it is. Can easily accept the 4 MOA accuracy, for a carbine it's useful and effective to 100 yards. It's amazing how our expectations have changed, and Ian brought this out in another video interview with Ken Hackathorn on the M...

Regardless of your feelings about the 'mini' (I personally like them), this is a great analysis of design, engineering, and manufacture of one of Ruger products.
