one report was the Active switch will in place but welded inoperable/unable to rotate & dismount notch filled in, which doesn't make sense if you need it to dismount the op rod. Easiest would be to fly cut the lug off the receiver - with the welding comments & using some special filler rod/wire feed - will they be reparked like the reclaimed M1 receivers?

@Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L -- great pictures, I was there in 1984 when my family drove cross-country and got to stop at a lot of historical sites....

@Sedalia Dave --- did this come out of the Disney studio's cartoon animation dept?

Yep, I've heard of those & been served those --- both for Sunday brunch and also after-funeral pot-luck --- popular in Ohio/Pennsylvania

On my USGI rifles, I use a mix of linseed (raw), white vinegar and turpentine. The turpentine thins the linseed oil & the white vinegar kills the mold spores in the wood. Basically a 3 in 1 mix, the turpentine and vinegar odor dissipates relatively quickly and then linseed seals the stock pores. Obviously can't use on the poly/laquer finished stocks on the outside, but if its grown on the unsealed interior of the stock you could use the mix. Not sure how the white vinegar or turpentine would react with the poly finish 🤔. El Sobrante Kid's comment below is valid about loss of blueing. I dont restock the guns until im sure that the turpentine/vinegar has dissipated/dried thoroughly.

Account for any benefits that you are entitled to before giving notice (ie PTO/Vacation/sick time, protected sick time) - if you dont get paid out for those in your final paycheck, make sure to use them before you pull the plug). Also any 401K company match funds (when are you fully vested & when does the match go into your account (bi weekly, monthly,semi-annually or annually?). Calculate if its worth staying to get the matching $. Planning/Timing to maximize your nest egg & leave after the match is secured (make sure it cannot be clawed back & move the funds to a personally directed account upon leaving the company).

Came across these two articles - never seen this documented in anything I've read before. https://spacedaily.com/t-apollo-guidance-computer-core-rope-memory-woven-software/ https://space-travel.com/st-margaret-hamilton-wrote-the-apollo-11-guidance-software-by-hand-on-paper-and-stacked-the-printout-taller-than-she-was-and-when-the-1202-alarms-started-firing-40-000-feet-above-the-moon-her-priority/?utm_source=spacedaily.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=compact_card&utm_content=st-margaret-hamilton-wrote-the-apollo-11-guidance-software-by-hand-on-paper-and-stacked-the-printout-taller-than-she-was-and-when-the-1202-alarms-started-firing-40-000-feet-above-the-moon-her-priority

But do we get our Jeep in a crate, finally, too???

Latest scuttlebutt over there was $4k (discussed/overheard) possibly at an AMC class recently 🤔....so take that for what it is worth and don't forget your grain of salt too with that rumor... Here's the specifics on the CMP M14 law and modification.......... | M14 Forum Posts #1 and #2 are informative as to how the proposed modifications will be done...

I've been aboard the USS Massachusetts in Fall River - incredible ship to behold. Eventually, I'll get aboard the USS Texas now that she went thru her overhaul and drydock time. But, so far being aboard the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor was both the most moving (being next to the USS Arizona & her crew) that began WWII and being on the ship that was present at the end and standing on the surrender deck atop the medallion in her teak deck. Took the behind the ropes tour of the USS Missouri from the engine rooms up to the bridge. Getting up into the #2 gun house thru the access hatch underneath the turret was an experience and then looking into the overhead crawl spaces between decks. How did guys fit thru those spaces?

Outstanding....Thank you! There is another out there from i believe the Naval Academy for morning colors its filmed in black white... one of the more moving one's I've experienced was when I was at Pearl Harbor.

Never knew that was even there...used to visit friends who lived in Sterling and went to Ft Devins for 4th of July.

Got an email today from a shooting sports company and one of the new tools for reloading were these little guys - https://ballistictools.com/store/small-and-large-primer-pocket-gauges Just passing along the information if anyone is interested...
