  1. We must watch out for phishing emails these days. They are getting really professional looking. Odds are, the emails will have a blue phone number link to click if you have any questions about a "signature needed" or to "receive a discount on your auto insurance" etc. The person on the other end of the scammer's phone will need to ask some personal questions....
  2. From what I remember, only magnum primers are recommended for H110, 296, HS-6.
  3. Bitcoin: Yep a fake coin that does not exist. Will not go into the details, but people buy these things, and they are also listed / traded on the NY Stock Exchange. The current going rate for a single bitcoin is $65,782.86 at the moment. A form of Cryptocurrency. People "mine" bitcoins by using supercomputers to try and solve an unsolvable mathematical equation. A form of money laundering or gambling. Unbelievable this is allowed in the United States (opinion only) but legal to use as currency if you find someone willing to accept it. Traded via digital wallets and "block chain" technology. Another form of digital payment.
  4. Tracking electricity consumption from U.S. cryptocurrency mining operations - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Same goes for cryptocurrency mining.
  5. FYI. When getting setup for this CAS game, found out that the RG Factory often has carts returned due to damage in shipping. Bought one of them at about half price.
  6. More on the base pin. Pushing and pulling can check the scallop cut that holds it in place. Forgot to mention, double check the base pin latch to make sure it is not unscrewing itself. Use the proper center cutout screwdriver or bit for this check. Belt Moutain sells improved pins and latches. Is it locking up with the cylinder stop locked into one of the cylinder cutouts? If so, probably not the base-pin per the above Lumpy fitting issue. Interesting situation - will enjoy learning what the issue is.
  7. Assuming the base-pin is OK: Push in on the base pin while trying to cock it. Pull out on it while trying to cock it. See if it cocks normally when pushing in the base-pin.
  8. My "cowboy name: is Pb Mark. Pb is the chemical symbol for lead (the stuff bullets are made out of.) I do not want to lead you in the wrong direction though.... Lead: can be a noun, a verb, a transitive verb, an intransitive verb, or an adjective. Most everyone understands the meaning of simple hand gestures though, even those unable to read.
  9. ...and that $49.00 Ruger 10/22 from Service Merchandise to plink away all the 22LR ammo mom bought for me.
  10. That Byrna thing is too big to clip on the dog leash, but Mace Gel works great for renegade attacking dogs.
  11. Might also remove the sharp edges on the left corners of the filed down sight. Keeps the corners from biting into the dovetail when knocking it into position. Also maybe paint the bottom flat surface of the area being filed down using a black sharpie. Every few file strokes, measure the thickness, repaint with sharpie. Provides a visual indication that you are filing flat.
  12. This ban overturn had nothing to do with the second amendment. This case only stated that congress creates new laws, nobody else. Nothing about the second amendment was addressed. Now for the important question: It appears that a properly configured bump stock could be used to open and close a lever action rifle and turn them into cowboy assault rifles. When does the SASS rulebook change happen? Just asking for a friend who refuses to own an AR-15.
  13. It is simply human nature to choose a favorite media source based on agreement with their propaganda. We all like our guns, so I'll assume most of us gravitate to FOX. The most accurate piece of FOX for me at least is mornings on FOX LIVE NOW when they broadcast live government briefings instead of their commentary. FOX, MSNBC. CNN etc. are all registered with the FCC as media entertainment businesses last time I checked.
  14. FACT: There are no laws on the books related to honest broadcasting for ANY media source that is paid for, not freely broadcast over airwaves. Ronald Reagan was the last politician to attempt to address fairness and accuracy in the media. Much has changed since then. Media and politicians are legally allowed to lie and distort the truth for political gain. Just the way it is.
