    Please help UK shooters

    As the U.S. citizen, I feel it is very wrong to interfere into the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    Inflation.......... ?

    U.S. dollar is now so diluted, it's going to be hyper inflation like nothing seen in the past. We'll be raising our products prices 15%+ in a month or two. No way around to avoid price increases. Stock market going up in this situation is a clear indication how much U.S. dollar is fucked up...

    LocTite rings?

    Before potentially complicating your life with use of Loctite (or any other thread locker), consider this: "If the joint is critical it would be wise to consider specifying a multiple pass tightening sequence. With such a sequence, each bolt is tightened more than once so as to reduce the...

    "Friends" wanting to buy ammo

    I will never give or sell guns and ammo to anybody, except for a few friends I know for a very long time. The thing is that friends of mine already have guns and ammo. We can share a box or two of ammo between us if we somehow manage to run out of needed caliber to quickly reload in a very...

    U.S. dollar - serious question

    Good post. I do feel that if a considerable part of "out of the U.S." dollars will start coming back to the U.S., we'll be really fucked domestically. Then, money reform will be need.

    U.S. dollar - serious question

    1. I have to agree that in the nearest future US dollar has no competition as a reserve currency of the world. 2. It does not hurt to be educated about history of the world and what already has happened in the past. British Pound Sterling, for example? 3. When/If foreign holders of the U.S...

    U.S. dollar - serious question

    It would nice to have world reserve currency backed by gold. The only problem is that no country in the world has enough gold as a backing for its currency for use both INSIDE and OUTSIDE the country (as such country would need to issue more money for the "world needs".) The only thing that...

    U.S. dollar - serious question

    Joe's plans will cause a lot of trouble for the value of the U.S. dollar, both domestically and internationally. So, what is the next world reserve currency? I know about gold, so you can skip mentioning it in your replies. Thanks!

    Ask manufacturer to requote?

    It is the Good designer already knows a thing or two about cost of manufacturing and availability of standard components which can be used. It is called "value engineering". This is how good designer MUST approach it. I bet you've seen insane designs, with bunch of zeros in tolerances, a lot...

    Ask manufacturer to requote?

    Price is important, however, parts quality must the primary consideration. If you're a "small guy", your chances of getting "per drawing" and CONSISTENT, from order to order, quality parts from typical U.S. manufacturer are not that great. I've had situations when delivered parts were 100%...

    2021-2022 price increases

    We're running out of kit components, purchased before 2020. The same components were recently quoted 15% to 25-30% higher for delivery in 2021. It is likely that our prices will be raised by estimated 12% around April-May of 2021.

    2021-2022 price increases

    I have the same understanding of the situation.This time, price increases appear to be directly related to serious oversupply of the money printed by the U.S. So, prices for our products, unfortunately, must be raised, no way to avoid it after being able to keep it in check for the last several...

    2021-2022 price increases

    Preliminary information from some of our vendors suggests that they will be raising their prices for various parts, mostly made from metals. Obviously, prices for our products will likely also go up 10-20% when/if it happens. Anybody else has the same thoughts?

    Lets start with Apple

    That is exactly what I mean when I've said Apple is no good. They hit us, Trump movement supporters, we have to hit them back as far as money is concerned. At the end of the day, companies are all about money. Do not give money to them whenever and wherever you can. And, in case of "Apples"...

    Lets start with Apple

    Apple is no good. If you happen to have Apple "smartphone", do not upgrade to another Apple phone. If you use any Apple related services, stop using these services. In general, boycott anything Apple related. Just a logical attitude.

    Lets start with Apple

    The only phone I've used, use and will use is a basic flip (so called "dumb") phone, so I can actually talk to people, if necessary. I'm not so dumb to need a "smartphone". If I need to do some serious work, I use Windows PCs with 3 Ghz+ Intel CPUs. BTW, it's a trend now to use flip phone...
