      Suggestions for 7 y/o's first gun

      We gave our 8yo his first gun this past Christmas. We got him one of the 50th anniversary 10/22s.

      Maj. Gen. Criticizes M4--The Atlantic

      The front+rear sight on the 10/22 TD are mounted to the barrel assembly. On the AR, you're lucky to have the front sight mounted to the barrel if you're not running a decent sized rail. If you're looking for user level swap outs, would you really want to trust the guys in the field with using...

      heaviest gun that can be ankle carried

      XDS45-3.3 on the inside left ankle, but only when I'm wearing jeans. All my work pants and khakis are straight fit making it print sometimes when my legs aren't in a straight line. Loose fit jeans work like a champ.

      Security drop bar for a door

      If you just want a couple cheap fixes to help secure the door, try some of these 1 - get a strike plate for around the handle, preferably a 1 piece that will wrap around the door that you can carraige bolt through 2 - if you haven't already, make sure you have good, hardened 3+1/2" screws that...

      Harvest/Super Moon tonight

      Nice and bright out, took the dog out to do her business, and she picked up on the scent of a bunny out back by the swing set. Lets just say Husky 1 - Bunneh - 0

      What is it about Chimneys?

      Your chimney height has less to do with the direction of the draw and more to do with safety of the embers that may make it up the flue and the rate of draw (both in and out). A taller chimney may help create a higher pressure balance point, but it is not a guarantee. Is your chimney on an...

      Disturbed Bunny of the Month

      True story: Last year I was a little delinquent in cutting the yard, went about 3 weeks without a mowing. So as I'm pissing off the lawn mower, I notice a big grey patch under the grass. I'm thinking "oh, a birds nest fell out of the tree and got buried in the grass"........ nope. Rabbit hole...

      I need a TV

      phylodog: All 3 of my TVs are Samsungs and I have 0 complaints about any of them. 61" LED-DLP, 40" LCD, and a 32" LED-LCD. I hear Sharp makes a mean TV too, but all my thin TV experience has been Samsung and they are excellent. For anyone on the prowl for a new TV, especially the new 4k or...

      Medical staff threatened with arrest for disclosing conditions of refugee camp

      They're talking about the illegals and their medical issues in general, not any specific individuals. If HIPPA prevented that, no working doctor could ever publish or participate in various medical boards due to actual events they participated in. But other wise yes, medical professionals have...

      Need sump pump help

      I have a little bilge pump I bought at Menards that does 800gph and attaches using a 3/4" ID hose. It's DC though, so needs to be attached to a 12v car/marine battery (or some type of AC/DC converter able to supply ~5A). Should be able to slip down into a 6" wide hole, but you need something...

      Advice on dealing with a recurring clog.

      (real) TSP is great for breaking down grease, you can find it at Home Depot for sure, maybe other hardware stores too. I know you shouldn't run TSP down the drain if you have city sewer service, but not sure how safe it is for septics. I just know algae love phosphates and might cause a lot of...

      Dodge Truck Problem - Mechanics?

      Admittedly, this was on my wife's Chevy, but when I had to pull the battery to do some work on her truck (later found out it happens whenever the power to the ECM is cut for > 1/2 hour) all the running parameters/adjustments got reset. When everything got put back together, the engine would...

      cheaper than dirt

      MidwayUSA is quite reasonable on shipping costs. Back in November I got a case of 2+3/4" 12ga, some 3" slug and 00, and 350rds of 45, totaling 48lbs shipped UPS ground to NWI for $22. They are usually cheaper when I have stuff shipped to work, but I don't think I can have ammo delivered to IL.

      Smartphone/Carrier Recommendations.

      Wife and I went to BoostMobile (Sprint pre-paid) about 3 years ago now. You buy your phone full price, and your plan starts out at $55 a month. After 6 months on time payments, your bill drops to $50. Every 6 months, another $5 off down to $40 after 18 months. Don't like your phone at any point...

      Plunger tube

      Yep, my dad's circa 2003 Springfield Loaded had his come loose about 2 years ago now, caused the plunger to jam up the safety. Bought the Wilson bullet proof tube along with replacement plungers and spring for good measure. Finished prying off the old and restaked the new one on good and tight...

      People struggle to pay heating bills in sub-zero temperatures

      You'd be surprised how much money and energy $300-$400 in extra insulation can save you. House built in 1980, ceiling is 2x6's with R19 between the joists. Replaced soffit/facia/gutters this spring, so while everything was out of the way, I got the baffles slid in to help the attic breath (just...

      Mounting TV to the Wall

      OK, looked over the docs and found some pictures online to help demonstrate. You should have a unit now that is called a solo node, should look like the picture below. So you should have 2 lines coming from the dish to the left side of the solo, 1 line going to the Hopper, and 1 line going...
