That Glock has never been 'a toy' and has always been a firearm. It's a 'weapon' only in the wrong hands.
My point was that I had let the Glock become a toy and not the "Firearm" as you stated. And yes it can be a weapon. The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes a weapon is: something (such...
I know that a negligent discharge can easily happen. I bought the Glock a few years ago and didn't use it until just recently. Periodically, I would get it out to handle and admire it. The routine was clear it first (even though there wasn't any ammo in the house) close the slide and then...
I don't trust the digital scale. It shows a variance of .3 to .4 grains and the Dillon balance scale only varies by one grain on the same physical charge. This tells me that the RCBS is throwing accurate and consistent powder charges each time and that I can be comfortable with it. I have 5...
I didn't trust the digital scale so I bought a Dillon balanced scale (just like the RCBS but cheaper). I dropped 25 loads with the RCBS powder measure and checked the Dillon against the Frankford Arsenal digital. I did get a small barrell and powder baffle for the measure. Now I feel that I...
I am getting re-interested in shooting skeet. I was in a league back in the 80's and really enjoyed using my Browning Citori 12 gauge. Came on bad times and had to sell it to pay the mortgage one month. Now all I have is a 1973 Remington 870 that I bought new and will use that for awhile. My...
I loaded another 50 rounds today and it went pretty smoothly. I checked each piece of brass for bulge and tested each one with the gauge. I double checked each powder was at the same height in the brass and measured every fifth drop for weight. All within .3g of 4.3g of Titegroup. Next I...
Well, I made it back from the range safely today without injury, but I did fire the first few rounds left handed. I was very worried about the 50 .40 I made last week so they are now on the shelf ready to be redone. This morning I loaded 25 and it went pretty well. I brought the scale inside...
I brought the powder measure to the kitchen tonight and dropped powder into the pan of the scale. I dropped over 50 loads and found the variances. I would zero the scale with pan on it and it seems that the rcbs is dropping the .3g difference. Yes, I weighed completed cartridges for the 7g...
I completed my first reload ever last week and have some issues (maybe)...(possibly)...(I think so). I loaded 50 rounds of 40 cal for my Glock 23 and things just don't seem right. My am using a Lee single stage press, RCBS powder uniflow measure. Using a Frankford Arsenal DS-750 scale. Tight...
Glad to hear about this build. I also carried an M-16 in Nam and am building a replica. I have the lower parts but haven't started the upper yet so I'll keep watching posts here for additional info from you guys. Thanks
There is a show from Tim Farmer that airs in Kentucky and also on You Tube. One of Tim's episodes is about the salt rox way of cooking. You might want to check it out. Tim is a very personable host with a great country theme. Try pasting this into a You Tube search and I'm sure you will...
I use a plastic funnel made for brewing coffee that makes just one mug at a time. It uses gravity and a coffee filter that sits on top of the mug to steep the beans. I bought it at the Williams-Sonoma store in Jefferson Pointe in Ft. Wayne. About 8$ and makes a great mug of coffee if you use...
Was sitting on a mountain side early one morning when a huge flock of butterflies came over my position. This was playing on AFVN radio station.

Impressive panel N8RT. I've flown some King Air's that weren't that sophisticated. Very impressed. I stopped at EKM one time to see a BD5. Is that a RV4?
Good luck Marc and my prayers for you and your wife. I've been in your shoes and it is a very very hard thing to go through. I won't go into details in our case, but God has a plan for you no matter how hard it is to deal with.
