I have to go back in that direction tomorrow. So I think I will get his last lb of RL 17.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to scoop up what ever powder I can find. Worst case, I can trade for what I need.

Primers are gonna be an issue....

I am looking for some 5.56 blanks. We have a can launcher on the way and ammo is getting extinct. Anyone have a good source? Going to look for a cheap upper as well to just leave it attached to.

Everything is drying up with Jan 20th coming.

I got an e-mail notice for powder. Soon as I got the notice. I logged on to the site. Put the powder in my basket and tried to check out. Only to be told that where was no more. I was a too slow.

Just got this in the mail today.

It's for leveling scopes on rifles that have a flat top. It works good. Cuts down the time for trying to level the scope. Comes in a nice case too.

Going to have to remember this one.

It's a piece of cake to use. Well worth it.

Wish I had one years ago.

I bet people are using bots like the GPU scalpers.

I bet some are. I've seen some of the video's from recent gun shows and the people there selling ammo have stock piles of it. Selling it for 3 to 4 times over.

Seen some of those videos too.

There is a gun show on my area this weekend. Definitely not going because of all the scalping. Fortunately my local guns stores have been keeping their prices reasonable, when in stock. However I’m not in need of ammo so I’ve been able to stay out of all this nonsense. Stocked up a long time ago.

You know.....

The first can you launch has to be a Twisted Tea now.

I’m assuming your getting a X-Products Can Cannon. I have one and discovered 2 ways of shooting cans. I nicked named them H.E. and Tracer.

H.E. - Can loaded bottom side down. Can will stay intact and exploded on impact with a solid.

Tracer - Can loaded top side down. When launched, the pressure of the blank pops the top and a stream of the cans contents follows the can. Can still breaks apart on impact but it is not as spectacular.

Of course this is what usually happens but sometimes it is inconsistent.

One thing to know, the recoil is similar to a shotgun so make sure you fully shoulder it when you shoot it.

What do you guys think is going to happen after the 20th WRT to the 2A?

Of course there’s going to be a lot of proposals and promises made but what do you think will actually pass?

Have a feeling the politicians don’t grasp the reality that was this past year’s gun sales. I imagine there will more push back from their constituents than they expect. I think they will get a few things passed but nothing like what they are taking about. One thing I think has a good chance of happening is the ban on on-line sales.

The democraps are the best gun salesman's.

I have a feeling that things hit the supreme court. The bump stock lawsuits are not holding up in court. The feds are losing.

We bought our first home a single wide mobile home in 1985. It was $15,500 and the interest rate was 15. Stick mortar homes were like 12.

That sounds about like what my parents told us. We moved into our first purchased home in Houston around that time (83/84ish). Remember mom telling me interest was like 12%.
