Yes, Brother in law and I both snagged one at wally world the other night. Then I picked up Black ops and Medal of Honor with it... need to get another controller for mine though.

Well I finally got to play last night on line. Holy Shit I suck! Still learning the controls and was getting my ass handed to me all night. Only thing worse was the poor bastards I was killing. If I got you must of sucked ass worse than me!

They sent me the LE list last night and I looked it over, for pricing. My local dealer can get one for me cheaper than a LE officer can get one. Crazy! Good prices on handguns though. I would love to have one but have too many other toys and projects going on. Maybe in a couple of years after I get the bat-10 I want.

How often do you answer your door....Saftey issue?
Beegreenstrings replied to eggs's topic in Dumpster
I go to the door regardless. 4 dogs for early warning and a AR and a 1911 within hands reach of the door. No issues. -
Depends upon hot loads or moderate loads and if you heat treat your brass and also if you are doing neck sizing only or if you are doing entire case sizing. Entire case sizing weakens the case over time. however, neck sizing can allow a case to swell just below the neck. Give and take.

heard that My pa taught me how to shoot, not some fancy military

+1 I reload but most of what I reload are for the jewel in my avatar and my 1000yd weapon. I do some reloading for hand gun ammo when I know there is a three gun comp coming up. I do reload all my shotgun shells for trap skeet and field. It is not difficult to pay for your equipment but you cant buy one specific caliber and expect to see the payback immediately. It takes time. Your largest benefit to reloading is the idea you can shoot more. What I save in reloading goes out the door because I can pull the trigger more. I purchased a cheap "O" style press from RCBS. Simple single stage type of a machine. But I can crank out a lot of .45 on it in a reasonable amount of time. It has paid for itself in less than a year. but, I shoot a extreme amount of ammo in USPSA comp. This ammo is all spent during practice. I use factory loads when I am shooting for time. Shotgun shells. My press has paid for itself 1000 times over. I have a 9000 series mec that cranks them out! But, when you have two people in the house that shoot trap on a regular basis you need to have something like a progressive. My LARGEST and BEST chunk of advice... BUY the reloading bible from Hornady so you dont do something crazy!!! i make some overly hot hott rounds sometimes, but they only go into the guns that "I" believe can handle them. You are going to find that it is not just reloading. You will be getting into Feet per second FPS and muzzle velocities, chamber pressures! and foot pounds related to grains of a bullet compared to velocity and load with different powders. I went from having a press and standard info I pulled off of the internet to making custom loads using a chrono and pushing the limits by using different types of powders. That is the true benefit to reloading. Oh and it makes "me" shooting my .375 H&H Magnum affordable. Deadly Game rounds for that thing normally are 79.99-114.99 a box of 20. As long as I have the Brass I can do them for about 25.00 a box. There are HUGE saving when reloading .50BMG... But I dont have that press. As for reloading to sell... You better only sell to friends and family. ATF does not look at that to well. Way to much liability on the reloader.

ditto This past two days were blown and blew all at the same time... This is BS everyone else is off and I am stuck here to take the loads of shit for 4 people.
-
definately! But, they are still making big money so why not try...

I watched one of the originals and decided it was not for me. I figured B.S. like that happens and I am headed for Missouri anyway. I would like to see that one. Somewhere up in the mountains and way far away from anything.

A little ways! Is anything ever really done (not at my house). The new hood is on and the new fender and doors are on (doors are not completely wired up yet. 91's did not have power mirrors so I am still playing and blowing fuses. Bed is off, new bed is ready to go on, but I am still scrapping and painting the frame and prepping for new fuel tanks and pumps. I am not expecting perfection since its a 91 lariat, but I dont want to tear it down again in 6 months for something I should have done. Might go ahead and do the lift now since it will be easier to work on with the bed off. Nothing crazy, 3-4 inches and 33's. The front end will get all the attention! Or I should say the front bumper. 3/16" plate steel main frame with 1/8" plating. WARN winch with a 12" stand-off from the grill. Bully bar weld in with gussets and HILA lights. just replaced everything under the front end. ball joints tie rods and all assem. Might have to find a beefier suspension system. Possibly go to a twin shock set-up to hold the bumper, it is HEAVY! I want to do the axles while I am at it. I have 3.73's now and want 4.10's. After that is all done, paint in the spring (got a cool theme that the shop owner next door and I have been working on, paint to look like one of the old B52 bombers, airbrush the rivets into the panel seems and do the pin up girl on the front fender(he practically gave me the paint, US Battleship Grey Metallic for 28/gallon, it is cheap Limco paint but should still look good on a old pick-up) and she will be done. Other than minor stuff like window tint and add on's, steps and trim moldings. The other one is my baby! 1993 F150 mark III extended cab stepside. It will get a lift in the suspension as soon as I find the time and room to do it. Maybe paint next year.

Buddy has one here at work. He had a recall on the breaks and something to do with the starter assembley (something with the key switch, remote start and the starter itself). Does not work without the key in the ignition. Something about one of the headlights, keeps blowing fuses and bulbs. other than that he loves it. drives it to OBX every year.

Brother and his friend are still in talks. I am all for it.

I have done a 4x4 ranger before. twice... takes about 20-30 minutes a side. technical data on that ranger is that it had 4x4, front drive units. wheel off, brake caliper off, brake rotor off, speed controller sensor out, three bolts in the back - out, pull the hub and bearings. replace in opposite order. I know its not the same type of vehicle, but most vehicles with the sealed bearings follow the same type of proces.

Hmmm.... might have to add this to the Vee...
