    Biden to announce vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees

    Vaccine mandate appears to be inevitable at my job. Management has had 3 calls with corporate in the last 24 hours, and it appears that info will be passed down to us supervisors within the next few days. Its very upsetting. I've spent my whole adult life working here, and have progressed from...

    Pole limit?

    According to the NY regs, " An angler may operate no more than 3 lines with or without a rod. " My question is can I bring extra poles on the boat? For example, bring 5 rods and reels, but only three are in use at one time. This is on lake ontario if it makes a difference (which I don't...

    Price of Powder on Gunbroker WTF?

    I bought 5 pounds of Nobel 7000 for 25 bucks a pound from grafs on the 13th. Granted its not name brand, but it did have some pretty good reviews on a few European gun forums. Needed something slower for the .243 I just picked up. Unfortunately I dont see primers being available for a LONG time.

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    Just bought this on gunbroker, need to send the check out tomorrow. Model 70 in .243 with a heavy barrel (Ive always been a .30 cal guy, so this is my first small bore, besides 5.56) Ive been searching for a model 70 with a heavy barrel for awhile now. I wanted a 30-06 (similar to what Hathcock...

    What Guns Are On Your Wish List

    Would like to have a model 70 built like the one Hathcock carried. I've been window shopping Model 70 receivers on gun broker. Not cheap... Ruger Gunsite Scout. Only issue is I want one in .308 with a walnut stock, and a blued finish. They only offer a .308 with a wood stock in stainless steel...

    Bullet Velocity, Standard Deviation

    Its not a high end chronograph. Its a basic Caldwell unit. But I was pretty careful with the setup, the bullets trajectory was consistent going through the sensors. My velocity results are in the ballpark of where they should be, based upon published load data, and loads I've seen floating...

    Bullet Velocity, Standard Deviation

    I've been wanting to get my hands on some Varget. Hasnt happened yet. If I wasnt loading specifically for the M1 I would be able to open up my powder options a bit more. Varget and 4064 are about the slowest I can use with the gas system.

    Bullet Velocity, Standard Deviation

    Bullet Velocity, Standard Deviation

    Brand new Criterion Barrel installed two years ago, less than 100 rounds through it. I haven't shot much lately. Last week was the first range trip I've made in a year and half. I've shot 1.5 MOA with this using 168 Speer's Match BTHP. I'm pretty finicky when it comes to powder and the M1...

    Bullet Velocity, Standard Deviation

    I've been reloading for 9 years now, and I just picked up my first chronograph. I'm working up a new load for my Garand. 178 grn ELD-M, IMR4895.CCI200, mixed commercial brass. 6 shot groups (every group had a conistent flyer) so I omitted the flyer from the group size. So really 5 shot groups...

    M1A, and the SAFE act

    M1 Garand in .308. The Navy has some built for them. An original is $$$$$ but I’m pretty sure you can rebarrel an original M1 for .308.

    M1A, and the SAFE act

    Compare it to the AR. How many people are forging and machining M14/M1A receivers? I'm assuming Springfield armory, and maybe another custom build manufacturer? On the flip side, there are quite a few manufacturers of AR receivers. The machining of the M1A is quite extensive, compared to the...

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    The amount of calories burned would depend on the individual. I would burn significantly more calories than someone who weighs a hundred pounds less than me while running a mile.

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    That was just running one mile, with some low hills thrown in. I did two miles and my pace went to roughly 7:45 a mile. Not really looking to lose weight. I’m just trying to keep active while the gyms are closed. Strength training is my thing. But I have enjoyed the last few weeks of running.

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    Its been a rough few months fitness wise. Its been tough, I miss my barbells and atlas stones (I compete in strongman competitions) Started running a few weeks back. I'm running a 7:20 mile. Not bad for weighing 260, I must say.

    M1A, and the SAFE act

    I've always wanted a M1A. In their factory configuration, they are not SAFE act compliant. The front sight/bayonet lug assembly makes it non compliant. If I buy a used M1A, without the front sight/bayonet lug installed, can I legally have it shipped to NY and transferred? Would an FFL give me a...

    Let’s Talk Statues.

    Be very worried when people are trying to erase history. I appreciate all statues, regardless of my personal opinions on the subject of that statue. I've gotta admit, when I went to Gettysburg last spring, General Lee's statue on the battlefield was one of the most awe shocking and "badass"...

    WTB M2 Ball (30/06)

    I’m lookin for some M2 ball. I’m okay with the corrosive stuff. Prefer if it’s already loaded on en bloc clips. I can find it all over GunBroker but no one wants to ship to NY. Hoping someone here may have some, or know if someone who may have some.

    from the other day. 340 rounds of Korean M2 ball for my M1. Corrosive ammo, but its only reserve ammo in case the SHTF. I'm not the fastest reloader, it would take me months to handload this many rounds :tearsofjoy:
