You know what pushed me into wearing eye protection? Having to study statistics and risk assessment for classes. That's what REALLY taught me why thinking "I've never had a problem so far, thus I won't have it in the future" is such a wrong concept (although it's so easy to fall in it!)...

As another "SA goon", my two cents: Something Awful is meant to offend, provoke and ridicule by means of exaggeration, disproportion and satire. I'm sorry, "I can't think of anyone who'd like it, thus the author meant it" is just wrong. Since when an author's intention depends on what a...

Hi folks, I just got some swivels for my Maverick 88, Uncle Mike's style. I screwed the front one in the magazine tube's spring cap, but I want to make sure of what to do before touching the stock and install the other swivel. Do I just drill a hole and twist the swivel in? I read in a...

scrat, don't forget to come back in, say, 25 more years (you're still young) and let us know how your hearing is. I've seen many old school shooters with premature deafness of varying intensities. One common diagnosis is shouting when talking. People just can't hear themselves, lack ear-larynx...

The ringing means that you're losing frequencies in your hearing. You'll get used to it and stop noticing it, so "it will go away", but the damage to your internal ear sensory cells is permanent, and the loss of ability to perceive those frequencies is also permanent. We can hear many...

You are a man of taste, Lookinforlunkers. A man of taste.

The bulb itself is just out of frame but you can tell where it is from the light. It shines directly above the press and I can always see if there's powder in case at the 3rd station. This was unintended but welcomed, I was thinking of moving that light but now that you mention this...

I lack space (and a tumbler):

In my humble opinion, they want you (us) to buy two presses. I'm new as well, and I started from scratch with a progressive with no problem at all either. The progressive can work as a single stage if I want it to, but no single stage press will ever become a progressive... a second purchase...

Thanks, they're very good! I'm still waiting for someone to do this, but with a Square Deal B. We've got two fine instructive videos for the 550 already!

Non-US here, but I threw you guys a vote for the first option ;)

Some countries where liberty is restricted (such as mine) have this kind of regulations. You can only own up to 2,500 .22LR rounds, and up to 1,000 rounds per caliber above .22LR. You have a "purchasing card" where gunshop owners write down the amount of ammo you buy, and it's all registered by...

I also have the collector's defective gene, but my financial and economics discipline is not as good as yours, SteyrAUG! I intended, some time ago, to start a Nihonto collection. I failed miserably because I started spending money on guns (and I just own 3). How about you start throwing in some...

I'm going on the fast lane to crazy town. A used XL650 has been offered to me for roughly the cost I'd have importing the Square Deal. I'll be an idiot if I let it go, won't I?

Damn, I should have searched harder: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=309453 Mods, feel free to close/delete this thread and sorry for making you work :(
