Plumb bob maybe?

Close, I have a 256 Newton

I just remember this any time gun legislation comes up and I hear/read that someone says they don't care about that particular item - "When they came for the bump-stocks, I didn't complain because I don't want to have one." "When they came for the AR-style firearms, I didn't complain because I...

Mowgwi Terry - 32 MILLION that was raised by VOLUNTEERS in the 50 states for the NRA Foundation. NONE of it comes from the c(4) side. In re: post # 70

Mowgli Terry, you are confusing two different grants. The NRA Foundation grants come through the local/state Fund committee that is made up of the members of the Friends of NRA committees that raised the funds. The NRA Range grants come from the 50% that come from the other half of what is...

I work with a lot of these organizations; 4-H, SCTP, FFA, JROTC etc. The funding they get from the NRA Foundation ( www.nrafoundation.org ) and Friends of NRA ( www.friendsofnra.org) is, for many, their lifeblood for continuing this education. If you're into raffles, auctions etc, find the...

Thought of another "Know the difference between Concealment and Cover"

"Squeeze the trigger like a teat." - My Dad (former USMC DI in WWII) would always tell me. "Use your handgun to get to your rifle. The goal is to put the danger to you that much further away."

Well, first step is to smell of the powder. A sharp, acidic or smell of ammonia and/or a brown coloring to the kernals or a brown dust means the powder is only good for the rose bushes or the yard (in short, bad powder can be good fertilizer). Your primers are most likely some brand of 209's...
