      Thanks.. We are trying to avoid the kids for a bit. But she was playing with my niece the other day and had that "look" that tells me the subject will come up in the future.

      They are being held in evidence. I hope they get done with them soon, but I'm guessing that will be several weeks at least.

      Wow that is awesome. Glad to hear. You are very lucky. Not that I need to say that.

       

      So I dont guess they gave any details as to who the jerks are that stole them? Hope you get them back soon. At least now you know where they are.

      Dust cover is off. The carrier is buffed. I melted the paint off cleaning tar out of the firing pin channel.

      Its in 240 fps and then reduced in editing by half. Camera is a casio exilim ZR100.

      Thanks....I want one now. I have scope mount inbound. That is just way too cool!

  4. I've decided that no amount of guarding keeps glowing hot metal chips away... I'm so sick of getting C shaped burns between my fingers. I think the winner today was the one that landed on my tongue, like a snow flake, but instead of ice it was smoking piece of metal... Hope you like the M77 mags when they come out.

      Yep Max, I've caught a few, but most of mine seem to always get inside my shirt and find their way to between me and the waist of my jeans. Ya can't shuck clothes fast enough. LOL

      That is something I want to see. I also want to see the actual feed angle of magazines. Live fire changes everything.

      Did you get the camera? I'm curious as to how well it works. What about camera mounts, decided on one?

      Hey! have you heard about the new ATF study? Its the we is gonna ban the saiga 308 cuz it shoots really fast and it looks mighty scary! Now this is between us. Don't go spreading this info around.(wink, wink)

      Sell the 308 at cost when purchasing conversion package.

  7. Just got a nice high ton press. Needs some work, should be able to form both side of a Saiga-12 mag at the same time.

      Industrial machine dealers throw off your perception of size. I asked for a small press and I end up in a row of 500+ ton machines. Maintaining them is not terrible provided the pump is well made. If its made with log spliter parts its going to break down all the time. Most of mine go two years between servicing.

      You gonna install a light curtain for that thing? We have a 75 ton Minister press for my school with light curtains installed as a safety feature. They're made by Link Systems. They're not cheap but a person is priceless. Presses are dangerous enough as it is.

    4. csspecs

      csspecs

      Not sure what will be used. Most presses have double palm buttons. I have a nagging fear of splitting a die, so I may go with a thick lexan door with a auto latch and sensor. It would probably be safer since it prevents anything from getting in there, rather then locking the press up every time a dust bunny floats by. Light curtains are not that bad if you already have a PLC for it to interact with. The stand alone setups are $3K+ with a PLC they are about $175 depending on size and...

      I've yet to have a visitor from up north say on a normal July day "gee its just like home". Most complain that they are dying ect. ect. But hey August is right around the corner, great time to visit FL. Just don't chicken out and run your AC the whole time.

      hell, us Floridians will be drinking margaritas around the pool while you all up there are shoveling snow and cleaning your single shot rifle....

      Well I just got it at about 4pm today. But my early impression is that its pretty nice. I did get a chrome lined barrel. I'll make a post over in the other rifles area.

      Best thing to do with a bag of checkers is walk to the nearest toilet and throw it in there. Save the pain and trouble of what's to come.

       

  15. I'm beginning to think that being your own boss is highly overrated.. You can't call in sick, you can't demand a raise, and if you complain about yourself to much you'll get committed..

      Well I guess I did take a couple weeks for a honeymoon back in February. But I ended up coming back in three times.

      Yeah, but I sleep better knowing everything is running smooth.

      Clean, easy on the eyes, perfect for a small website just selling a few items. Maybe a higher quality logo on the top left and tweak out the descriptions for each item.

      You have some grammatical errors, and no meta tags in the header. MUST HAVE META TAGS!!

  19. I wish my website service would stop updating every couple weeks. Every time they do an update I have to go back through and get rid of the "free shipping" banner from last year. Or the old FAQ tab reloads itself over the new one.

    2. csspecs

      csspecs

      Its not a banner add. Its just an old text bar that states free shipping, which is something we used to do.. I think it was just reverting to the saved version of the website rather then our current version.

    3. timy

      timy

      I guess the easiest way would be to leave it up there and give free shipping. Just sayin....

    4. csspecs

      csspecs

      Then I would have to take by the $4 per mag discount we applied when we took away free shipping.

    2. csspecs

      The batch we made was 10 lbs pork 10 lbs beef and 5 lbs deer. Basically all the older meat out of the freezer. Then about 5 lbs of onions and 25 lbs potatoes. The mix is course ground and stuffed into natural sausage casings and boiled for 10 minutes followed by a basting of bacon fat and then baked for 30 minutes.
