    Fireclean, aka Crisco?

    At one time you could buy what Oxyclean is at the hardware store in a 5 gallon bucket for $10.

    Fireclean, aka Crisco?

    Most every single gun lube/oil/grease is just some other industrial chemical that's been repackaged.

    Fireclean, aka Crisco?

    It's the Hoppe's cartel. They can't have someone selling $120/gallon crisco cutting into their profits from selling $50/gallon kerosene.

    What if you already have one? Are you supposed to file the paperwork and put it on the shelf until it comes in?

    Funny excerpt from a Jack Reacher Novel

    Didn't know that. I've read a few of his books and hit his blog every week or so. He wrote an excellent defense of gun rights after Sandy Hook that put him in my radar.

    Funny excerpt from a Jack Reacher Novel

    Enjoyable brain candy. I can knock one out in 2 or 3 hours if I want to, which makes them a good beach/camping book.

    Funny excerpt from a Jack Reacher Novel

    I've read quite a few Reacher novels, and they are chocked full of things like this. Some of the "cultural" observances are way off and quite funny. I blame the authors Englishness for much of it. I did enjoy the movie being cast with 5'5" Tom Cruise because the author beats you over the head...

    Lower ammo prices?

    I can make a quality 55gr cartridge for about 15¢ if I buy some dirty brass. Hornady bullets can be had for less than 7¢ shipped and at least two companies are making a profit.

    Lower ammo prices?

    Lower ammo prices?

    Commodity costs matter, but I doubt it makes much difference in the final price. Pre-Sandy hook ammo prices were pretty low but scrap copper was going for well over $3/lb. Margins might increase but the supply/demand curve still rules.

    The Baker rifle, the first mass produced military rifle

    http://warisboring.com/articles/the-baker-rifle-transformed-soldiers-into-long-distance-killers/ I'm assuming the author calls it the rifle that changed the world, because earlier ones were handmade. Timothy Murphy helped win the battle of Saratoga by killing General Fraser from 300 yards away...
