    Poison sumac, trees, and bees

    Not happy about this story but here it is. Live in Ohio and have to cut grass around a large dying cherry tree that is covered in poison ivy or sumac vines. On most of these I just cut the vines at the base and let the tree be. This one had holes at 3' and about 15' and was a literally hive...

    Morning Joe and Mika visit Mar-a-Lago

    They looked played, I thought it was masterful. Nothing like causing a rift in the Lefties.

    Brace/Move upper to SBR question.

    Honest question, no I am not a glowie. If one has a brace pistol, say .300BLK and one also owns several legal SBRs, can one remove the pistol brace upper and put on an ordinary upper with a 16" bbl? The pistol upper with a 10" bbl would then only be used on an SBR lower. And since one already...

    Encountered a guy at Home Depot rifling through my truck cab.

    So last night about 5pm I make my second trip of the day to Home Depot to get more lumber for my sniper's hide. The "hide" is a dormer I'm building in the upstairs of my barn that is 133yds to my handgun/rifle range. Anyway, as I'm buying a pile of 2x4's I park in the last parking spot in the...

    Mesh net to catch brass fired in yard? Anybody using one?

    Built a home range and it's getting a lot of use. Currently brass is heading into grass. .22LR to 45acp, fired from handguns and more fun stuff, so it probably goes into a field 25' long x however wide off the centerline it ejects. Thinking of some sort of netting where I can gather it up...

    Rugged Obsidian needs cleaned, won't come apart. Solution?

    Both my 9 and .45 cans. I believe the housing is aluminum and it won't come apart (won't unscrew). I've tried getting Kroil to creep into the threads, no luck. I have an ultrasonic that works wonders, but what solution will not harm the finish? I use peroxide and vinegar on my sparrow .22...

    SCOTUS, New York Right to Carry

    Good final statement by attorney for New York State Rifle and Pistol Association. Having listened to most of the hearing, the liberal justices didn't seem to have a good understanding of the right to self defense (or they were being coy), the State's case against was pretty weak "we should...

    Estate planning: firearms, NFA stamps, leaving chores to others.

    Over the years I've collected a number of firearms. While I can supply the kids with handguns and ammo, I'm left with items like AI rifles, suppressors, and perhaps some F/A NFA stuff I think might not be wanted and/or difficult to handle. Not to mention all the reloading stuff. I've put my...

    Home Range Backstop

    Looking for input. I'm upgrading my home range (mostly handgun). Initially it was a .22 range and I just shot into a wear layer of 3 sheets of plywood (over 10" lumber). I think I put around 8-10K rounds into that without issue. I'm going to up it to handle 9mm and 45acp. I picked up some...
