    As a "system analyst" (whatever that means -- your profile lists you as a "field service technician") who hasn't actually identified the cause, you probably don't want to conclude much of anything about the scope of the problem and how many people it's affecting. Just viewing a particular...

    Help me out here??

    But hushpuppies are round(ish). So I guess some cornbread is round. But there's something really disturbing about a square pi(e) -- unless you count cobbler as a pi(e).

    Yeah, but that's mostly because most of the people involved have no understanding of the technology and what and how things can go wrong (even though some of them can spell "Javascript" but don't know the difference between that and "Java," "Java scripts" and "Javascript scripts"). They're just...

    It's great you have no problems. Good for you! So I guess that entitles you to say that everyone else's problems are just "BS about a shop". I guess I understand now. 🤔

    Why do my countersinks look horrible

    If you just need to smooth it out, you might at this point try a cone-shaped stone.

    Because people care! 😂 But you don't have to. It's okay. 😎

    Smarter than me percussion caps

    Thlis is perhaps not the best time to be starting an international import company and investing $2M in what is currently high-priced inventory for what is from all appearances a diminishing niche market. Just a thought. :)

    Good catch. If not something like this, it's difficult to imagine why only the last few inches of the barrel would be affected.

    Why do my countersinks look horrible

    Also, not all countersinks are created equal. And how much runout does your drill have? But definitely for anything other that casual work, I'd go with the drill press suggestion (if it doesn't have excessive runout and has a good chuck).

    Help me out here??

    A good source of help and knowledge is Klingspor. Give one of their stores a call if you can't figure it out or find the blade you need. They have tires too. You'll find it interesting to install a new set. There are tricks to it. Search for that online and you'll find threads on it. Oh ... and...

    That part isn't philosophical -- it's practical. And I'm squinting at it now, but can't see any politics or religion in it either. But never mind that. What puzzles me is a complaint that you've wasted your time reading something when it would have been so easy to just stop reading it and...

    Imported Guns Are Junk

    Yeah ... National origin of firearms (and other things) isn't a fully reliable guide to quality. Well, I mean, except for stuff from India -- pretty much across the board. 😂 Spanish guns, barrels, etc.? One word: Bergara.

    Imported Guns Are Junk

    Unfortunately, I find that I'm still perfectly capable of making those blunders. One of my (somewhat costly) habits is that I've always tended to "overbuy" in terms of tool capability and quality -- though it's true that I still have some of the tools I had when I was 12 years old. I've been...

    Imported Guns Are Junk

    Yeah, this is (mostly) true -- though sometimes you get more than what you pay for and sometimes you get less and then spend time trying to convince yourself that you did get what you paid for. 😂 I think we've all been there. But that aside, the real question is why we're paying for it. Are we...

    Pretty much any site that provides any truly interactive service has Javascript in it in various places. Despite its being a terrible programming language (and I've written probably tens of thousands of lines of code in it), it's heavily embedded in web technology. There are better languages...

    Age Range of BP shooters

    I swear some people can't seem to make a distinction between discussing and arguing -- and probably think that observation is arguing. 😂

    Age Range of BP shooters

    Yes, they might be -- but you have no way of knowing this, knowing that they're slightly skewed, or knowing that they're so totally skewed that you're reaching the complete opposite of an accurate conclusion. So it's best to look at this as purely an entertaining game -- like fortune cookies...

    While surveys of this sort can be fun, they can't ever reveal any reliable information (for the usual reasons having to do with different biases in statistical sampling). However, I can pretty much guarantee that the Administrators of the forum either have this information at their fingertips...

    Current price on the Grizzly is $166.25 -- which is great! Don't know if they charge for shipping on that.
