    It took 35

    I second Bird Dog on the Kidd parts for 10/22s. I’m running some Kidd parts in my 10/22, and they’re worth the extra $$. Kidd barrel, EDM extractor, main spring & guide rod/bolt handle eliminated all of my cycling issues and really tightened up groups with a range of ammo. Can’t speak...

    The continued debate......

    I can’t back this up but given that we take all kinds from all walks of life, I’m pretty certain that one of the reasons the Army (and the other uniformed U.S. military branches as well, from what I’ve seen) continues requiring button flies on duty uniform pants is to prevent casualties from...

    Hello from a newbie....

    You hit the bullseye, on finding a site to get yourself up to speed on muzzleloading. I won't add to the pile of advice you'll find here other than to say this same site got me from Totally Confused Gullible Greenhorn to Successful Confident Frontstuffer Hunter over the past 12 years, on and...

    McDonald's Drive-Thru

    Jack, I'm gonna rank you right up there with John Wayne, Burt Reynolds, Merle Haggard and the guy who shot the coin machine in that Jerry Reed/Ray Stevens song. Well played, Sir! Very well played, indeed!

    Up coming risky surgery

    My dad's staring at a choice between a percutaneous nephrostomy in the very near future, or facing even bigger plumbing problems, so I've had to learn more about the renal system than I ever previously would have believed necessary within the last year. I have learned just enough to appreciate...

    So how do you make coffee?

    Well, look what just went on my wish list, too! I wasn't aware Keurig made a K-cup/drip combo. Thanks for sharing - I'm always in search of something that'll clear some counter space. When my wife has her quilt guild friends over, I have to retrieve the Mr. Coffee drip machine from the...

    Anyone Purchased a New Cell Phone Lately?

    To me, it's not so much "GM vs. Ford" as "Subaru vs. Kia" - and I say that while acknowledging that Samsung has made the same kinds of leaps to catch up to Apple as Kia has made to catch up to... well... SOMEONE reputable, anyway. For both the cars and the phones, they both make great stuff -...

    Anyone Purchased a New Cell Phone Lately?

    I'm still using a 7 year old iPhone 5s. Still works great, though it won't load the new operating system (iOS 13 and beyond). However, Apple still puts out updates & security patches for iOS 12. About 2 years ago I took it to a Batteries & Bulbs Plus store and got the battery replaced for...

    My head hurts.....

    Neither system is useful to me in a second focal plane scope unless I'm at max magnification anyway, so having a first focal plane reticle is more helpful to me than debating which angular measurement system is better, unless I'm assured my targets are going to be at distances appropriate for...

    A little humor

    Only because he didn't pit for tires yet.

    A little humor

    Sounds like my progression, exactly. But then people got hooked on smart phones, tinted windows became more standard, and it all just became infinitely more challenging for me to "predict" who's going to do what and when. I guess about 10 years ago, the first generation of kids who had grown...

    Bipod users

    I have no opinion about this, but it looks like a flexible solution for several applications. It also looks easy to replicate for much less than the listed price, as well as something that could be modified in design to work on a variety of surfaces...

    ramrods

    I have one of Ben Hubbard's ramrods for my Sidekick; SO much better than the OEM rod. It has a brass extension that unscrews from within the outer brass body when I pull it out of the channel to use it, though I leave it collapsed at first for strength & seat the bullet as far as I can that way...
