    Which to keep

    I hate it when I have to pick which one will go and which one will stay... it's like trying to decide which kid stays and which one goes. Although some days the kid thing would be easy to decide. Personally, I'd keep the one I liked the best. Or just list everything and see what goes first-...

    AR mounted light

    I honestly don't remember the name of this thing- a guy at work bought the same one and said it threads on the Polytac light he got from PSA during one of their clearance deals. I've got the same tail cap/switch, so I assume it would fit fine. I think it's probably related to the chinese...

    silver

    I have no idea where the bottom may end up being, but that's the lowest I've seen silver since I started following precious metals. (relatively, the hour to hour lows may have fallen ten cents under that number). I wish I'd known you could buy gold and silver back in about 2004 after I'd been...

    gold panning

    Believe it or not, this picture makes it look like I've found even more gold than I have. I'm not even sure you could measure the flakes I've found. This little vial is the result of about five days of shoveling rocks, washing rocks, and cleaning it all up at home. And I mean five full...

    AR mounted light

    I'm glad you said that- the tail cap I have is compatible with those lights. I'll get one.

    AR mounted light

    No light currently. But my neighbors are way too close for an AR where we live right now. I have a fixed mount and a tail cap/pressure switch... just no light I'd consider putting on a rifle. The lights I have are probably fine, but never been tested for rifle recoil/muzzle blast. So if I...

    gold panning

    You pretty much have to do some classifying and panning on site to get the concentrates you want to go through... and there's the "prospecting" phase once arriving at the site to try and figure out where there are specks of gold that everyone else missed. Or new deposits. Off the top of my...

    gold panning

    I will- and I hope the macro setting on my camera will focus on something as small as the vial of gold flakes I've found. So long as you're using a shovel powered by cheeseburgers, you're not going to find a lot unless you are extremely lucky. It takes diesel powered machines and private...

    gold panning

    I'll have to write this up later tonight- I've been a few times to the usual public accessible spots... Sixes Creek, Blankets Creek, Chestatee River, and a couple other places. Most of them yielded the same results- we found some gold. But I'm not sure I've found enough to pay for the $10 gold...

    Next Suppressor Innovation

    Accurately measuring the SPL (sound pressure level) i.e. noise, during a gun shot. Requires very precise "microphones"- which they call meters.

    Next Suppressor Innovation

    The engineer in me still wants to see an energy absorbing flexible baffle. However, it's going to have a short life span- like wipes, but shorter.

    My Sheriff's Department doesn't 'do' NFA/ATF fingerprinting

    The probate court website made some reference to a GAPS system? Sounds like a way to share everything electronically- I don't know. I think I just bought my last NFA item for a long while anyway.

    My Sheriff's Department doesn't 'do' NFA/ATF fingerprinting

    You can try the probate court in Bibb County- they did my electronic finger prints when I went in for the last GWL renewal. I'd call and ask if they did prints for other counties first though. Their website says the phone number is (478) 621-6494

    Econ RBS Warns of Cataclysmic 2016

    Sometimes I think reporters just need something to report on... Remember the past summer when China was "set to overtake the US as the world's greatest economy" or something like that... didn't work out so well in the short term. I'm no economist- I have no idea how any of this will play out...

    I'm glad to hear you got a good one- I was pretty unhappy with mine.

    Glock Tactical Suppressor

    Oooooo.... well now that does change things. I should sell you my lathe. Or trade it for something, well, several somethings.

    Glock Tactical Suppressor

    You can build one- completely legally. First, Form 1. Get stamp back, build it.

    Glock Tactical Suppressor

    Heck, we can make our own- just file the Form 1 before doing anything. As soon as it's approved, build away. Google "flash light silencer" and/or "Apex tube" or was it Apogee tube? I don't remember. I was going to build one myself using the commerically available tubes and modified freeze...

    .22lr Pistol Host

    I prefer the MK II frame also. I talked to Dobbs about threading one for me... yeah, apparently they're a huge pain in the ass to thread. The thread job and moving the front sight backward was going to cost more than I paid for the factory threaded 22/45. So I made myself get used to the...
