Well, remember this banter? ... You didn't have "better things to do" than throwing that nonsense out without any thought, and trying to turn a problem of scamming into an incoherent political rant about government "tracking" and managing all your transactions in cash -- which I'm pretty sure...

Okay, so I guess you've just never realized that you've been misspelling the name of the trail (and area) all along, and misspelling it in your forum name as well. And misspelling "Wikipedia" too. It's just that if someone can't spell words correctly -- especially ones that are so important to...

No. Now, I have heard of Appalachia, and I've spent a lot of time in various parts of the Appalachians. And along the Appalachian Trail. My son walked a lot of that too. But I've never heard of Appalichia. Where is this Appalichia trail you're talking about? Anywhere near the Appalachian Trail?

Where exactly is Appalichia?

Stubborn trumps reasonable. :)

No such thing anywhere near here that has any reasonable amount of BP supplies. Nonsense. That train has long since left the station. But feel free to live on a cash-only basis if you like. You'd also better avoid any bank accounts, definitely avoid Social Security payments and Medicare (and...

This is really a matter of curiosity for me, and not intended as criticism. I'm just trying to understand this phenomenon of people continuing to get scammed by the same old tricks ... So what part of this made you think for even an instant that it even might be legit? I just don't understand...

It takes less than a minute to do a web search on this. The results speak for themselves. It's hard to miss if you do your own research that only takes a few minutes. Just one example: Optics and Ammo LLC Warning

This is the fundamental lesson in all of these cases. It turns out that the "scam" amounts to "I believed something from a source that I had no reason to believe. What I decided to believe was absurd. I was asked to pay for a product in a way that was illicit and left no recourse if anything...

Definitely with you on that. :rolleyes:

Fiberglass? Or Delrin? Fiberglass is known to be highly abrasive. :confused:

A wedge isn't exactly a precision fastener.

I use brass range rods for both my .50 (3 piece rod) and my .32 (1 piece rod). Neither seems to flex at all. I've used the plastic ones in the past, but don't like how they flex (especially if using a ball puller). I think they're okay (if of the correct material), but just don't care for the...

Oldwood makes an important point, but there is no "true fabric thickness" here. The thickness is a measured thickness, and that depends on how it's measured -- what instrument is used and how much pressure is applied to get the measurement result. What's really important is your consistency in...

Last time I was in the Walmart about 15 miles from me (it's one that has a fabric section), they had well over a dozen different striped tickings -- some on large bolts and some packaged. I bought one of the packaged ones because it didn't seem to have any sizing in it (or none I could tell)...

I used to do that to the ones in the safe, but discovered there was NEVER a problem. So I do it on much longer intervals now -- and still don't find problems. The BP guns don't live in the safe, and I do check them regularly. And I'm still trying to figure out what the best approach to a...

I think that's not really surprising. The primary goal of motor oils is lubrication -- and in fact lubrication in the context of an oil reservoir and/or pump that keeps reapplying the oil to the target surfaces. So it doesn't have to "adhere" to them statically as you probably want a...

Yeah, I think anywhere in the SE, if you don't have your guns in an environment that's air conditioned, and you're not using a dehumidifier, or at least have desiccant in the safe (or whatever), you're going to be facing constant threat. My garage/shop has a lot of air flow in it (which is good...

I wonder how many people have seen this. The results are quite interesting, and I just offer it for your perusal -- without comment on conclusions or methodology. Still very interesting. And a lot of room for disagreement and argument, I'm sure ... Comprehensive Corrosion Test: 46 Products...

I do to -- in my 2-cycle engines. :)
