Re: New life starts to develop today!

We mixed in some barred rock hens the last time we raised new layers. Nice compliment to the RI reds. We get nearly white eggs to dark red/brown and everything in between. I find it interesting how different the dispositions of the different breeds are. We also raised meat birds last year - rock cor...

Re: What Do Democrats Have Against Guns and Gun Rights?

Republicans in the federal government are just as opposed to gun rights as Democrats are. The only difference is that in the kabuki theatre that we call the federal government the Democrats have chosen to play the part of the side who chooses to openly voice their opposition to your right to protect...

Re: Mitt Romney: The Last Republican President?

Thanks for passing it on PTK.

It is refreshing to see R.P. shaking up the system as much as he is.

Too bad he isn't as effective when debating as he is expressing himself in written word. He nailed it the other day though:

Re: We Aren't a Truly Constitutional Republic Anymore'

He is right about that. Unfortunately, he is wrong about most other things. Reading his books makes me just about as angry as reading the communist manifesto. Both Marx and Levin do an excellent job pointing out problems that are inherent in our current system, then go on to propose "solutions&...

Re: Looking for .22LR subsonic ammo that will not cycle acti

It obviously isn't as quiet as they advertise, but it isn't as loud as any of the 3 brands of CB when fired in an unsupressed rifle with a 22" barrel. I believe they are using really fast burning powder. Same velocity, 33% more mass, more accurate (for several of my rifles), and less noise than...

Are you using a crimp? I tried both with and without. 4" to 6" groups at fifty regardless of what I do (powder, trim length, OAL, etc). This gun shoots very well with other projectiles, even those of the same weight (albeit a completely different design). I really want to get these to sho...

Linked pic from an ARF thread (not my pic):

When we tested the SCAR the operators had a lot of dislike for the holes. They made a huge flash at night and kicked up a lot of dust and sand when shot from the prone.
