It's in the mail! :beer:

We have received 4" of snow so far, now it's freezing rain! Should be good in the AM! TM :o

Yes, But. Not .223. I will build one (eventually) in .308. TM

I really like it. THIS is it - available at C.T.D. for $59. It comes with an adapter for AR handle mount, and also integrated mounts for rails. Mil dot reticle, illuminated red if you are into that, variable power 3-9x. I zero'd it in @50yds, and @9x 1 dot down gets bulls @ 100yds. Plus, it has rails of it's own for lasers or lights. Nice bright optics, great price and looks coooool. :thumb:TM

Took the riser off and mounted it directly to the receiver rail - went to the range today and sighted in. I like it! At 9x, zero'd @50 yds, move exactly 1 dot up and it is right on @ 100 yds, using the BVAC ammo. :thumb: TM

Generator? Naw - just a long extension cord to the cigar lighter in the Blazer. ;D Had the place to myself, and sighted in my new scope on the M4! TM

Cool!

Excellent!

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM055-5.html It is available again - I like it - it is my ammo of choice for my Colt M-4. TM :thumb:

I have had the new scope on the M-4 for 2 months, I am going to shoot today. Hopefully the shivering will not adversely affect accuracy. 8) TM

I was going to say that!

The seller has already purchased replacement parts. Just can't figure how to put it back together. But parts for these are still available from Gun Parts Corp. TM

Picking up a basket of parts ;D - An old H&R 922. Should be fun to re-blue and get it working. ($40) TM

Rodent.22 said "TM sure sounds like a nice offer- only if it's no problem to anyone all the way around." No problem Buddy - Next time I see one I'll get it signed out and arrange to get it to you. TM

Oh yeah - drool...........slobber..........

Dremel is high quality equipment - the saw I was gifted with was from china, and no amount of vibration dampening could tame the beast. BTW, a neat book, Celtic Design, by Aidan Meehan has some neat patterns. TM

Let's see some pics. TM

Ecan, I get my supplies from all over - whoever has the best price for what I need gets my business. And there is no easy, cut & dried answer to your question. There are a great many variables to reloading. So, pick a caliber, .45ACP: Next buy and read a current reloading manual. Then select bullet weight, style, (FMJ, HP, WC, JHP, LRN) ect, bullet maker, primer size & maker, powder. If you check with the NRA (website) you can find a Certified NRA reloading instructor in your area - well worth the cost. Then, you work up your load. You take the components you purchased, and load to the minimum powder load. Test fire them. Make some more rounds with a little more powder. Test fire. Keep records! At some point, you will find an optimum combination of powder, components and your gun that will provide exceptional accuracy. Do not exceed max powder loads! ( I don't even come close to max) Many of the reloading manuals will indicate an optimum load for listed powders/ bullets. There is a lot of reloading info on the web - DON"T trust it!!!! Jo-Bob's favorite 30-06 load may just blow up your gun! Stick to published reloading manuals. And purchase quality reloading equipment. For a beginner, I would recommend a single stage RCBS press. Good luck! And be safe! Mike

What kind of problems? There are two different sizes of primer feeder and seating parts. I ordered both with my press. TM

How did we ever come to the point of punishing people that did not commit a crime, as a response to a crime? How did the shoot in Diggle go? TM

Watching the Drudge Report today, looks like the "global warming" crap is falling apart. Head liar I mean scientist from that group of liars, oops, I mean scientists from England now says there has been no warming since 1995. Liars. :bang: TM

Hey Asmurff - What kind of scroll saw do you have? I got one as a gift once - didn't care for it - it vibrated way too much. TM

Those are very cool! I come across old USPS padlocks from time to time - they get thrown into the metal recycle bin. I'll snag one if ya want. TM

Wow - That is a LONG time! And a whole boat-load of experience Share some pis if you have some!TM

Hey Asmurff, I have the LEE 4 hole turret press. It's OK - I bought extra turrets, so I just leave the dies in the turrets and they stay set-up. They store real nicely in the extra large size Jiffy peanut butter containers. The only thing I move from turret to turret is the powder measure. Saves a lot of set-up time. The turret press is in between a single stage press and a progressive press. After I get going, every 4 pulls gets me a fully loaded cartridge. TM
