Don't know if this is the proper place,but I haven't found a topic here. I think it would be good to have a place here to discuss how members set up security devices like survalliance cameras,, motion detectors, train dogs, stash handguns etc.,etc. some of us don't live next door to a police station. We are out in the boonies where new FEDEX and UPS take two days to locate us and LEO and ambulance drivers look for an hour then call for directions. Outlaws occasionally wonder in looking for a hideout or easy pickins. What do you use at your place?

I would think these are just for long term storage and when you are out of the house not ready access,but I don't get audio on most of the videos herere on this Kindle Fire HD anyways so I don't know. I'm spoiled just the two of us here, when grandkids visit every firearn goes into lockup except for our personal indoor carry .40 and wifes 9mm. She is also a NRA pistol,rifle and shotgun instructor. When there is only us there is a loaded gun tucked away in every room,just old habit from when we lived in the city.

Damn, I hope inflexability isn't contagious. I don't mind being corrected even when I had a rectum reaming about buying from CTD. LR isn't too inferior to me from AR as long as my LR shoots like I think it should, the original trigger did suck. But don't ever call my retired US ARMY solder a baby killer, that gets my hockels up.

I have a couple pin pushing tools used to push out the link pins in Seiko metal watch bands to lengthen or shorten the watch bands. Bought them on Amazon years ago are kind of awkward but do work on real small pins. Channel locks have worked for years had seen vicegrips modified but never used them look to me to be better.

Ice immediately, Aleve and an Ace bandage first 24hours, now Aleve and coffee. Looks awfully worse than it feels.

AMEN, I reckon you can't cure stupid. I knew there was a hole somewhere on that slope, well I found it. Left knee twisted and BAM. Knee isn't as sore as the wrist and hand that took most of the 270 pounds of falling bone and flesh. What was that formula for Energy? mass times Velocity squared equals energy? Well what equals pain? I think the formula is: ( mass squared) times (velocity squared) times (rapidity of stopping of the moving body mass) Plus (the distance in millimeters squared) equals [OUCH factor]

Welcome from another Red Raider (class of 1959) living in the boonies of Comanche County.

I can only surmise a drop from a C5 or a C17. My experience in air mobility with machinery was when Our USMC Reserve unit Hotel Battery 2nd Bn 14th Marines was loaded up in seven USAF C119 aircraft at Shephard AFB and transported to 29 Palms. We refueled in El Paso. I was in the seventh aircraft with my 3/4 ton MT mechanics truck with spare parts for the 6 deuce and half prime movers for the 6 gun 105 towed guns. I was the last man loaded and as a Corporal E4 was in charge of the 14 Marines and equipment abord the old flying boxcar. The rear cargo dors were deleted and I sat at the very edge of the ramp, probably never got over 1500' AFL . It was a blast watching the coyotes and deer scatter when we passed overhead. I had just got out of extended active duty, and joined the Reserve unit a week before summer camp. We went back to the old MT maintenance shop where I was released from active duty at 29 Palms, so I was the goto guy for the Battery CO and ExO. (you know koolaid and sandwich runs, extra ammo etc., Ect.) When I was on active duty we went by convoy to San Diego and then LST for deployments. That Reserve unit was a really up to snuff bunch of cannon cockers. Their FDC unit was all upper classmen college math and physics majors and they outshot their Regular Marine Host unit counterparts.

Right blood clots are a potential problem for sure. WOW a 4 vehicle drop and it appears to be a night drop.

Yep but I didn't have anyone to hold my beer. The old former Marine aviator now a sawbones asked"What in the hell did you do now!" I told him I fell down the hill. He said "Well old fart next time try to land on your hard head, nothing broken just a sprung wrist and bruise maybe a couple of stiches on the pinky,you are too old for this kind of $hit."

Don't get a new tattoo like the one I got Friday:

I reckon a Lee precision hand loader in each size isn't in your plans? I would probably go with either the Dillion, or maybe a Lee progressive with several changable turrent plates. don't know much about the Hornie Lock and Load, looks good. Or......... How about a CAMDEX Rapid Auto Loader or three? (http://www.camdexloader.com/) Camdex, Inc - 2330 Alger Troy, MI 48083 - Phone: 248-528-2300 Even if you aren't interested, check out the videos at their website, very interesting! ...Or just $hitcan all your reloading stuff and put in a franchise request from Federal Cartridge or join the Department of Homeland Security procurement section, and siphon off some of their excess purchases.

(M/2)X( V to the 2nd power) = Ek or something to that effect? So the solution to soft primer strikes, and long lock times is skeltonize the hammer and double up on the springs? Kind of like what customerizers have done to the 1911s, Okay, or incorporate the fireing pin, springs and sear , kind of like the Springfield 03?

cut off the legs of old jeans or overalls turn wrongside out sew up one end turn them right side out, fill with rice or sand and sew up the other end.

Along with a set of low, medium, high, or extra high mounts consideration as to scope eye relief distance and cheek weld is what drove me to use the Burris tall mounts on the variable power Bushnell mildot scope. My 55 year old Weaver 1.5 power long eye relief scope,that has a verticle post and single crosshair retical, feels right with the original Weaver mounts that put the scope tube less than an inch above the rail. (No room for any BUIS). The Weaver scope and mounts were originally on one of my Springfield 3006 03A3 rifles with a bent bolt handle and a low safety handle. I used the rifle for daylight coyote calling back in the 1960s. I am considering using the old Weaver on the LR308 for hogs and coyotes in brush and mesquite.

Old Blue has never been exposed to salt West Texas truck. No rust original paint. The first four years it was driven 100,000 miles. We built our retirment home on the lake here in Central Texas and hauled every piece of our 3bedroom 2 bath house 36X40 shop either in the bed or on a 20' utility trailer or the 24' enclosed cargo trailer since 2001 it has spent 90% of its time in the garage it now has 125,000 miles on the odometer with only one new set of plugs 3 sets of tires and 1set of new calipers on the front, and 2 exhaust,muffler and tailpipe.

Welcome from Texas

I'll be driving "old Blue" from now on... Going on 20 years since new. 350 TB automatic overdrive.

Going to put it in the giant smoker or is that a homemade Fariaday box? I have not decided yet since the freezer is full of animal meat and the emergency generator is gassed up and the battery is charged up, only have to unwrap the five layers of foil. The

Okay Plane flyer, hold my beer, I'll try something: at 15. At the range

Real scary...specially since we bought a 2015 Tahoe with remote start in April. Maybe the old 1995 blue Silverado 1/2 ton will prove to be immune to such antics as car-hacking.

I am super proud of all my grandchildren, I have 4 granddaughters, three grandsons and one super great-granddaughter. I was reluctant to post them on a public media, but this site is special, and I decided it would be okay if no names or locations were posted. Any pros or cons from members of the site? I consider this topic to be open to all as the bragging rights of our "The Fruits of my Loins---grandkids"

...OOPS I mistakenly deleted the picture: AMAZON.COM $45

My other grandson a Sophomore in high school. He is into Robotics Engineering competition. This picture was him in eighth grade.[

MY grandson at 15 years: He is now a Petty Officer 3rd class in the US NAVY At the range (Pearl Harbor) He was trained on the service pistol in the Navy but is learning rifle and shotgun himself with his buddies in the Navy. His Destroyer is in dry dock for a few weeks I told him just too much finger on the trigger. He wants an AR308, maybe I will build him one.
