Some of the places where I target shoot insist that we pick up our brass. With a bolt action rifle that's easy to do, but with a semi auto rifle that can become a scavenger hunt. I bought this brass catcher for my AR, but I think it will work with the 10/22 also. It doesn't seem that it will interfere with the charging handle. 20231209_114048copy.jpg 20231209_114121.jpg

I have both the Caldwell and the Tacstar. Both work well.

Went to a gun show in Knoxville, FREE State of Tennessee

More than 1000 cars in the lot, if I had to guess. I had to walk near a mile to get inside. Front sidewalk of the Expo Center was filled with people selling their guns to others. No checks, no questions, cash and go. Awesome.

Once inside, guns everywhere. At least 85% of the tables were guns. Guns and ammo. Dealers were more than willing to wheel and deal to sell their wares. Good people, lots of sellers and shoppers having great, open and honest conversations.

I was looking for three different guns, only found one of the three I was looking to buy.

Picked up a NIB, H&K VP9sk. Grey on Black. H&K is running a special right now, a rebate to get (4) additional Magazines free through the mail/

Stock photo. Too lazy to take a picture of mine. Just sat down.

Load Refused from a trucker .. so we had 2 , 8 foot tall pallets of blackberries ..

i got 7 qts in the canner now just finishing up and cooling down .,

i took to many flats home .. i though it was 6 to a flat .. nope 12 ..

i'm gunna freeze as much as i can store for now and do another canning

The way i canned them is just in a light sugar / water syrup ..

so just pop a jar and use them how you want to in a recipe or snack , i'm not stuck with 7 qts of jam/jelly

time to call mom in the morning to unload the rest of them to her and her friends



9 , 12 oz containers of berries filled 7 qt mason jars and loaded the canner

what you see in the photo below is like $600.00 worth of berries at normal price..

5 x 12 = 60 packs .. x 10.49ea = 629.40

Just make sure you have enough sugar in there to bind the water to make them safe. Looks like a lot of water in those jars. Ph is normally low enough in berries so you should be ok as long as what you did didn’t cause the ph to climb.

I got a tap on the shoulder today while going through some memories. I realized how lucky I am to:
- Have had a loving family growing up.
- Just be alive.
- Have someone in my life that loves me.
- Have her family care about me and be there for me when I lost my parents.
- Have a roof over my head, food on the table, and clothes on my back.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures to post.

Picking up what you put down.

Agreed for me as well. Too often, these things; we forget about.

Great post and trying to remind me of this daily. Also trying to do more about it and give back a little more. God has been good to me and my family and working to serve a little more.

I agree that’s a reasonable markup and what would shipping have been online.
Click to expand...

the HazMat shipping is like 25 to 30 bucks ,..

but then you can put like 30lbs in the box

so you buy more power to fill the box

:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:


i was just on a sight last night for Black Powder .. only sell in 5, 10, ect pounds ..

so 188.40 for 5 , one pound cans of GOEX FFFg .. that included hazmat and shipping ..

but you have to buy 5 lbs .. from them at the min ..

I bought a Glock and an AR in the dark parking lot of an abandoned factory late last night. No FFL, no ID, no paperwork, no BGC, but perfectly legal here in the pitch black of Tennessee, USA.

At the Alamo, it is recorded in history that more than a few NYers also chose to die as free Texans.

In the Shrine of the Alamo, where some go to worship fallen heroes, stands a NYS flag , eighteen hundred miles from their previous homes, as a lasting tribute to New Yorkers who traveled far to fight for the cause of liberty in the Republic of Texas.
