After the right wing victories in France the left riots. After the left victory in the UK - crickets.

I think I'll reload some more.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah. Another ping order. 200 or 500 rounds, that's the question.

 

[pezzheaddazzler]

The education system is the dumping ground of the inept.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.

And those who can't teach become democrats in government and tell the schools what to teach (cough cough brainwash) the children

 

[TrailerHitch]

Fuckin' employers!!! At will, motherfuckers!!!

I will NEVER give 2 weeks notice again. It is archaic and there is no reciprocity if they intend to fire you.

Mom taught English for a thousand years. She loved what she did. She worked almost exclusively in private schools - she got to stand out more there. She also taught a lot of ESL classes, too. She still has former students come to visit her. She is helping to edit a book that one of them asked for help with. I like to think that's how it should work.


And then there are the rest of them.

I don't plan to, either. It's an emotional and physical waste of time. Sign up for whatever PTO remains, take it, and send in an email at the end to announce that you're not coming back, and fuck 'em.

I should get 200 more in the can today depending on how energetic I feel and/or interruptions.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I may assemble some ping clips if I get around to it past the errands. I do need to get a couple-three more 30 cal cans in my spare time. And order some more clips while they're still available.


Fuckin' $5 each . . . unless you do some serious shooping . . . .

 

[Chobham]

Trying to corner the ping market you are.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Just scooping out my own little piece of it. What's going to be fun is when I pick one of these to get it up to target grade.

One should just keep stocking up on ammo. And a few spare guns for like minded friends. Stashed away safely, so to speak.

The nice thing about a husband who did a couple of tours in Afghanistan is he's familiar with all these little tricks and tips. One apparently can learn a lot from the Afghans. They were pretty good at what they did - last 20 years against the Russians and 20 years against us, after all.

BTW, do you do your own reloads? I've been thinking I should talk to himself about that.

People make fun of what I call my "anvil rifles," - M1s. They're big and clunky and fiddly. They also won a World War. The Afghans ran off the Russians with a lot of Russian and British WW2 technology. Those big 30-cals have some reach-out-and-touch-someone that the new mini-calibers give up. I'd keep an AR handay also, but for different reasons. Any way you cut it, however, the gun I have is vastly superior to the gun I don't have.


Tricks are good. Rainy Days are ahead of us . . . .

 

[ChloeTzang]

This was our last buy, a couple of years ago now. We bought a pair of them. Lovely. DDM4-PDW 300 Blackout

 

[Wat_Tyler]

This was my last buy. An April of 1940 M1, rebuilt and unfired. Old fashioned 300 Black (the fuck) out, also known as .30-'06:

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Did anyone watch that interview???


Is Medicare still defeated???


Allah, I sure hope so . . . .

I do.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

We all need to reload. As I've been cleaning some stuff up in the Back East location, I have found about half a metric shitload of empty brass. Most of it is .308/7.62, which is good because I have five (5) rifles chambered in that calibre. A chunk of it also seems to be .30-'06, which will make good ping reloads. I have 4 M1s and a ratty old '03A3, so they all need food. And the Brass Fairy sent me some more .223/5.56 brass to go with some I found and that's for all of the ARs and the one bolt gun in that calibre. I plan to set that whole operation up Out West when I get sit-chee-ated there.

 

[Chobham]

I do so love those government subsidized Brass Fairies. I now need to find a way to tap into the 300 WM surplus. Uncle Sam ordered 38 million rounds of that cal a couple years ago.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Maybe a few crates should fall off a truck somewhere . . . .

Actually you're closer to the source at your new digs out west.

Yupper, there's plenty to learn from the afghans as well as the Viet cong, or for that matter an experienced trapper.
Speaking of reloading, I encourage everyone to learn this skill. When I'm at the bench I find myself slowing down, all of my thoughts are focused on the bench, I find the repetitive act rather " zen-full" (is my best way of describing it) . If you decide to take this hobby. Just realize you entering this at a time when the equipment and components are expensive and supplies are not always available, not like the old days when things were very robust.... Oh one more thing, if you decide to learn to reload the best way is find someone who is a very good reloader and have them mentor you. Youtube has some very good reloading videos as well .... I'll close with this, reloading is an exacting process there is no room for error, none. Mistakes can be very catastrophic......

 

[Bn2f]

Well, I’m very interested in having fun by doing a peaceful, zen like hobby but please do tell me more about these, how you say, catastrophic mistakes for I once caught a bad cramp in down dog.
