  1. For the price, you can't beat it. Be aware that the sights suck, kind of like the original, and you'll want to replace the grips. The gun itself is very good and would be great with a little action work. If you have the spare funds, buy it...or buy two.
  2. It's been so long since I bought brand new brass, I don't remember! Yes, resize with a little One Shot.
  3. I was thinking that the 2 story building behind the sniper's position would have been a better place. Like I said before though....3 - 12 year old kids with drones could have prevented this.
  4. The Europeans are full of misconceptions about Americans it seems. 1st - For a right handed person, the gun would be laying on it's left side for easy pickup. 2nd - No red-blooded American only eats one egg. It's always two or three. Silly Europeans
  5. I've been to Walmart hundreds of times and have been stopped once. I almost always use the self checkout, grab bags and bag the stuff at my car...this day wasn't any different. I rang the stuff up, paid with a credit card, grabbed the bags and headed for the door. I had the empty bags, groceries, a case of beer and some motor oil in the cart and was stopped by the "door checker" who was a middle aged black man wearing the blue Walmart vest. He asked me for the receipt. Prior to this day, I had never seen anyone be stopped at the door. I asked "When did they start doing this?" He said that they were checking receipts for anyone with unbagged items. I was annoyed, but handed him the receipt. Just then a young black man wheeled his cart by me with several cases of beer in it and nothing else. The door checker said "Have a good day" and nothing else and the guy wheeled his cart out the door and into the parking lot. I snatched the receipt back and in a loud, angry tone of voice said "Oh, you only check the White people...I see how it is." He started to say something else but I told him to "F*** off" and walked out the door. I rarely go to that Walmart anymore but when I have, I haven't seen him again. As far as McDonalds (Burger King, Wendys, KFC and Taco Bell also), I refuse to eat that crap they try to pass off as food. The last time (about 9 years ago) I got a double cheeseburger from Burger King, the bun/patties were just a little larger than a silver dollar. The only fast-food type place I'll eat at is Arby's, WaWa's and Hardee's (breakfast only) and that is only on very rare occasions.
  6. It could have proved useful in WWI as Japan was our ally. It would have ended up the same place as most of Japan's navy did in WWII, the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
  7. It's always been about the money. Palms get greased and the real winners are who ultimately profits from the policies enacted....that's never the American people.
  8. A few years ago, a regular SASS member offered a 'mystery' gun in the Classifieds. No one took it right off the bat but someone did buy it. Ended up being a damn nice gun and an outstanding value. Pretty sure that I remember who sold it and who bought it but I'll let them post...
  9. This reminded me of an incident. We had to run electric to a new sign at a daycare at a location that was previously a residence that had a large yard. We called the utility locating service and they marked all of the underground utilities...or so we thought. On the day of the dig, I rented a ride on Ditch Witch digger. When I went to haul it to the jobsite, they started it up to make sure it ran. When they turned it off, it backfired loudly and did this every time it was turned off. I took it to the jobsite and my guys started digging the ditch and I left to go back to the office. I hadn't even got back to the office when I got a call on the radio (pre-cell phone days) that they had struck a utility gas pipe that hadn't been marked and were afraid to shut off the machine due to the backfire but had stopped the blades and raised the boom to get it out of the ditch. I relayed this to the office, although they could plainly hear it on the base radio and told them to call the City of Clearwater gas department. I then turned around and returned to the jobsite. By now, the entire area around the jobsite smells like gas and the fire department is on scene. I had just gotten back to the jobsite when a City of Clearwater Utilities truck pulled up with two guys in it and parks near the ditch. The driver gets out with a lit cigarette, proceeds to walk over to the ditch, turns off the Ditch Witch (BANG goes the backfire) and then throws his still lit cigarette into the ditch. None of us had the time to react to this idiot's actions although I wanted to punch him in the face. Moron City of Clearwater boy told us that the gas had nowhere to build up and was therefore dissipated by the air and we were in no danger. I told him that he was a ****ing idiot and pulled our crew out to get an early long lunch. When they returned, the pipe had been repaired, the rest of the line marked and the City of Clearwater guys were gone. We had no further problems.
  10. Have to know these things when you're king, you know.
  11. Why does that look like Wiliam Dafoe in drag?
  12. Yeah, I've heard their "logic". May make sense to them...not me.
  13. If a box of 50 - .45 ACP only has 7.0 grains of powder in it...they are all going to be squibs. 250 grains per box of 50 would be more like it. At the 250gr. per box, they'd still get 28 boxes per pound of powder which would still result in more profit than just selling the powder alone as you mentioned.
  14. Alliant issued a statement that they were indefinitely suspending distribution of canister powder to any and all distributors due to the (supposed) shortage of nitrocellulose. Just so you know, China, Russia and India are the main manufactures of nitrocellulose.
  15. I know several people who are registered as a Democrat even though they are staunch Republicans. They register Democrat so they can vote in the Democratic Primary. I don't get the logic but it's their vote. They hold closed primaries in Florida so that only registered Democrats can vote in the Dem primary and Republicans can only vote in the Rep primary. Independents are SOL and can't vote in the primaries.
  16. Midway also has quite a few Alliant powders in stock, including Extra Lite in 1 and 8 lb containers. They have Red Dot also but it's cheaper at Mid South.
  17. It happens a couple of times a year in Florida. I just don't understand how you can forget your kid and leave them in a car...in any temperature. It happens with dogs here also. About every two weeks, you see that cops had to break a vehicle window to save the dog. Some live, some don't. Idiots.
  18. Sounds like a great place to build new homes for all of the liberals leaving the country on November 6. I hope they need another iceberg or twenty.
  19. They work nicely on other electronic items also.
