      Receiver for a 10/22 build

      I don't go too crazy. I use the Tactical Innovations small parts kits. Since most of my builds use an old 10-22 as a starting place I often use the original bolt and just clean it up real good. There are a lot of good drop in trigger packs out there these days. A lot of people like the drop in...

      Receiver for a 10/22 build

      I have a few Tactical Innovations receivers that I like. You used to be able to get them as an 80% but now only as serial numbered. https://www.tacticalinc.com/home

      Who Knows A Lot About 3D Printers??

      If it's the same as it used to be there will be a coupon inside the box for a discount on a spool of filament. You might want to pull that coupon out and buy a spool or two while you are there. The sample that comes with the printer is pretty meager.

      Who Knows A Lot About 3D Printers??

      It actually looks like they have the deal going on now. You need this coupon. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/specialoffer3dprinter2t.aspx They have actually updated the deal a bit. It used to be for a Ender 3 Pro and now it's for a V2 which is a newer, somewhat improved, model.

      Who Knows A Lot About 3D Printers??

      If you catch one of the occasional 'new customer' sales at Micro Center you can sometimes pick up an Ender 3 for $99. That's how I got mine. For the price, they are a decent printer. It is a pretty basic, bare bones printer though. If you end up really getting into it 3D printing you will either...

      Favorite Multi-tool?

      I have a Leatherman that is nice for general purpose but I also have one sold by Caspian Arms that has a 1911 bushing wrench and pin punches in it that I keep in my range bag that is pretty handy at times. Larry

      Who Knows A Lot About 3D Printers??

      The new Prusa Mk4 is real nice. With input shaping turned on you can increase the speed a good bit and maintain good print quality. I'm about to implement input shaping on my RailCore which should let me push speeds over 150mm/sec with PLA and other less sticky filaments. It's hard to push...

      Who Knows A Lot About 3D Printers??

      3D printing becomes a hobby unto itself. It is not plug and play. Regardless of what printer you buy, you will have to do a lot of learning and tuning to have good success. I've been doing it for over 10 years and I'm still learning stuff that improves my prints. If you think you are going to...

      Comms - HF

      You cut the grass real short, lay the radials on the ground and hold them to the ground with biodegradable staples every 6ft or so. Once the grass gets to growing in the spring the grass will actually kind of pull the radial tight to the ground and you can forget about them. They will be tight...

      Comms - HF

      I've finally got a permanent HF antenna on the way up. 6 band vertical. It's the complete DXEngineering package. I probably won't have it completely up and running for several weeks as I have a fair bit of grounding and other work to do. I want to get the radials in before the grass really...

      SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

      Mine took 10 minutes. Walk into the sheriff's office with the form and walk out 10 minutes later with the permit. It varies a bit from county to county. Westmoreland county is easy but they don't do non-resident.

      New from the ATF about 80 percent stuff

      Although I don't agree with this ruling, it doesn't surprise me at all.

Check out MDRocketry.org for details. There will be everything from estes type rockets to moderate sized high power rockets...

      Which Electric Mower?

      For me it wasn't about being green or anything like that. I just find the electric one to be more convenient and they have finally achieved similar performance. It's quieter, more compact to store because you can store it standing up without leaking any fluids and it has less maintenance. I...

      Which Electric Mower?

      I bought one of the new Milwaukee's a few months ago. It has a steel deck and will chew through about anything. It's not my primary mower but is used for the area immediately around the house and where the Series 1 JD won't fit. I've been very impressed with it. The only down side is that it's...
