    Hate trash on the right-of-way around town? Targets!

    BLM in San Diego now will not allow clay pigeons to be shot on any BLM land as it is now considered littering due to the amount of time to decompose. :(

    Best bullet puller ever

    I like the collet myself. If the round has sealant I will run it in a bullet seater die to push the bullet down just a touch. That breaks the sealants grip then the collet removes them with very little damage

    Sun/Moon Roof Motor Replacement - 2004 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer

    yes. Be careful much of the sheet metal on the framing is VERY sharp. They don't "break" the edges on ANYTHING any more. So they can be like razor blades. If there is tension on the motor from a normal closing for leak resistance you will need to use a little bit of force. Don't worry about...

    Sun/Moon Roof Motor Replacement - 2004 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer

    They are actually pretty easy. You need to remove the interior overhead console to gain access to the motor. It is at the forward edge of the panel. Hopefully the roof is in a closed position. You will need to have a long sleeve shirt on because the "stuff" they use to produce the headliner is...

    Honing/Customizing Dies?

    +1 on Zia. I would try the neck sizing. It will work the neck significantly less. You can even get a body only die and have a two process forming that will extend the heck out of your brass. The only issue you may have is neck tension based on whatever your barrel measures. This may come in to...

    Maggie’s Sports/Muscle car advice?

    Carroll Shelby was one of our sponsors when I was racing back in the day. I went up to his place to pick up some rims for the 1,000 and talked to him for about an hour. It was awesome. It was truly a highlight of my life to hear the stories he had, and the fun. He had a beautiful blue Cobra...

    Ever go to a "friends of the nra" banquet?

    I like them. My wife has already won a pistol, some ammo, shooting gear, and some other little trinkets. I have won some range time at a local range. I thought it was fun and worth it.

    Knesek Guns...Another one comes home, or YMMV

    Had a bad experience trying to buy my .50 from them also. Ended up canceling the order and buying a EDM Windrunner right from EDM

    Mark Kelly - Giffords is having a bad day

    Doyou think captain mark will pass a law against assault dogs to keep people fromusing them for evil? I think maybe a law that you can't have a 30 pound dogbecause that is more than you need to hunt with. Maybe we can have New Yorkdogs that will be limited to 8 pounds and must be registered with...

    need your guys opinion on a trade

    Last gun show I was at had a HUGE amount of mags. Don't think they are as valuable as the ammo "right now". If you are not hurting for ammo and someone actually has the need and intended use for them other than hoarding or resale I think it would be a nice thing to do.

    Marine Base Shooting....

    Been a long time ago since I was a Marine but we were not allowed personal firearms on base. Sounds to me like someone had their hand in the cookie jar.
