What ever you do... DON'T try to clean or improve the looks of any coin - you will destroy all numismatic value. if the coins are in flips or plastic holder - leave them in there. Hold raw coins by their edges (between two fingers- not touching the front/back surfaces). Grading the condition of...

Depend on if you just want to get rid of them or if you want the best price... It used to be a 3% premium or $50 was about the going rate but the last several years dealers have gotten greedy and want up to 10% or more... F 'em... I wouldn't take more then a 3% markdown If you want to do a...

Got an email today from hodgdon... Seems to indicate they bought Western Powders, which also includes Accurate, Blackhorn, Goex and Norma... Except for Alliant, they seem to now have a monopoly on powder in the USA... Nothing on the Hodgdon or Western websites but at the bottom of the Accurate...

oh i would draw the revised map something like this... oops... wrong thread... I will have to read that... I made this up from gut feeling...

I use a variety of things... plastic milk crates for heavy things like sandbags and various shooting stands, laptop bags for targets, staplers, and one for the chrono, ammo cans for... ammo, a larger expedition duffel for my main everyday range gear. A plastic Tupperware tub with lid for...

Some of the reloads i developed for my 5.56 guns crater a little more in 223 chambered guns than I like to see. However they do look normal when shot in an AR- no pressure signs. I came up with the idea that if there was a little more throat & leade and also while I'm at it, change the...

you mean like this... of course not every box gets checked every time but its there for those occasions... I often have various batches of brass in various stages of readiness laying around... sometimes for months or longer... keeping a sheet like this with each batch really helps...

Some of these words only have the meaning they are trying to indicate, under specific context. To someone raised up North or in the Western states, picnic just means taking a lunch to eat out under a tree on a nice day... nothing more. I can't say what it means in the south as I didn't grow up...

I see that most safe makers use common sheetrock (gypsum board) for their main fireproofing. Some use a slightly better grade called 'type X', but it isn't much better than the regular. What they don't tell you is that the UL rating they cite is pretty much worthless as it is given to a tested...

could it also be an excuse to collect DNA from the general population? Pretty soon everyone will be in their genome dB...

I'm thinking I might like to acquire a bull-pup. I don't know a whole lot about the specifics but would like a versatile 5.56 platform that takes AR mags and as a remote possibly, other aftermarket AR add-ons. What are the top 3 choices and ballpark new/used price range ?

This was right down the road from me... Recently there have been reports of lion(s) seen in the area, even a picture of one on someones tile rooftop in the subdivision.... we often walk in the river/wash nearby but haven't seen any... but there have been a couple times my spidey sense tells me...

Thanks... I saw those and felt a slight pain in my lower left rear.... I just cried a lot over the price of the truck.... No doubt this brand has a reputation for top quality but when I noticed the made in China, I wondered if they were any good or only good intentions. They look great in the...

Anyone try any of the seat-back PALS panels in their vehicle to attach Molle gear... similar to this? https://www.amazon.com/Yawayda-Organizer-Tactical-Universal-Vehicles/dp/B07ZCJSLVV/?tag=azs08d-20 I want to hang some pouches in my truck and I see a number of these seat-back panels available...

You mean like this? Now I paint them white as you can see the off-target bullet holes easier at longer ranges They last years and once you get a fist sized hole punched in the center there isn't much plastic debris to worry the environmentalists.
