Thank you for that info. Fortunately i did not run any thru it, and i def never will. I only ran it thru a Troy "Other" in 5.56, luckily.

Hey there. I am from the city, and Jersey, but i have 26 acres in Ulster county. Was just there over the weekend. Love going up there and shooting targets all day long on my 26.

Got it, thanks. If i am going to use the steel stuff, i should probably use it FIRST, when the rifle is clean as can be. That might be the best option for using it. Honestly, we do shoot for group sizes, as well as specifics on targets. Its never about "how many", but about "where and what"...

In a way, you are right. When it first happened, it sucked, and ruined the rest of the day, at least as far as that rifle was concerned. That said, if i had a metal cleaning rod with me, lesson learned, i would have just popped it out, and most likely kept shooting. It popped out once i got it...

Thats good to know. Now it will give me an excuse to buy a chromed barrel and chambered AR, just so i can fire off my remaining boxes of steel cased ammo, lol. That sounds like a perfectly solid reason to purchase another rifle. Not that i really need another reason per se, but that sir is as...

Definitely considering it.

Not really. That was between 3 rifles, so it was about 300 rounds in each. Every rifle fired ALL the brass cased rounds perfectly. Thats before and AFTER shooting 3 rounds of steel cased, and the failure. After removing the stuck case, and not having cleaned it, i perfectly fired another 100...

Wait, maybe we are completely wrong about things here. This sounds like a new "kinder and gentler" Taliban. Supposedly they are trading the civilians weapons for puppies and kittens. I also heard that these new Taliban are no longer wearing black and turban like head coverings, but instead are...

All i know is i have only shot a few rounds of them, and 30% of them had the casing stuck in the barrel. I know the old "you get what you pay for", but it should at least do what its supposed to. I am sitting on boxes of this crap and i am very scared to use it again.

Went up to my catskill property over the weekend. Was just my wife and i. I brought a new, never fired M&P sport 2 AR 15, a Kel tec RDB 5.56, and my wifes Troy "other" in 5.56. Between the 3 rifles we fired about 1,000 rounds of brass cased .223 from hornady black, PMC, and American eagle. All...

So, i took the ec9 out over the weekend. I shot about 100 rounds through it. No issues at all, so far. I enjoyed shooting it a lot, and so did my wife. I had it sighted in fairly quickly, and was dead on from that point on. I like it a lot, nice trigger pull, and all in a small package. The...

True, there is only so much to do with a little s&%t like this. I was thinking along the lines of if there was maybe an upgrade you should almost always do, like spring or trigger, since factory might be bad from jump. I know its apples and oranges, but like any Ruger 10/22 should almost always...

Good to know, thanks. I am going to look into what decent upgrades are available too. Anybody have any experience with any?

Ugghh !!!

Thanks for the link brother. I am def starting to see much better prices. I originally only looked on Rugers site, and they are a rip off.

I was gifted a brand new Ruger EC9s. I havent shot any rounds thru it yet, and honestly dont know much about them. I think it looks cool, nice compact fit, and seems solid enough. Mine is black and that dark tan/coyote color. It only came with 1 seven rd magazine, which was a bit disappointing...

NOT in Montighetto, it just couldnt be.

You know what, you might be right. The same thing happened in my house too. I thought the same thing too. As it was happening we didnt know what it was exactly though. One of my family members was sick for over 3 to 4 weeks though, it lasted very long.

This is why on my upstate 26 acre property i ONLY allow deer to roam on it if, and only if, they have their masks on. My wife and i are VERY diligent about it too. We post up on both ends of the land and check any bucks, does, or fawns over the age of 12. Masks are still mandatory on my 26 acres...

You are 100% correct about this. I am a fairly new gun owner, boy have i made up for lost time btw, but had i been 4 years ago, i would have absolutely driven the 4 hours to be at that rally. We ALL have to realize that we CAN stop allowing them to slowly erode our rights by combining our voices...

You should never tell the Missus when you are out hunting beavers. it just doesnt go well.

Eating his own snot from his chin, and MANY other reasons, are why his own secret service agents do NOT want to protect this guy. Not only do his own secret service guys hate his policies, know that he did NOT really win the election, but the day to day dealings with this guy is making them HATE...

As long as its not a baby bottle though, unless its filled with Jack Daniels. The problem with the Big screen is, in the zombie apocalypse even with a good generator, there probably wont be anything good on.

Supposedly Oregon in the last election legalized ALL drugs. I am not 100% sure, but i believe even hard drugs like meth, dope, crack, cocaine, and who knows what else. In my mind, i really think the zombie apocalypse will now start in Oregon first. You have been warned, so prepare accordingly.

I hope you got the right quarter of the cow, which quarter can make a difference, ha ha ha jk.

Gas masks are a must for any true prepper. If you have a gas mask in your bug out bag, then you might be able to "survive" his "toxic" warfare. Just keep him away from the pot belly stoves fire, dont want an explosion.

All those tat getting, 300 dollar sneaker wearing, partying masses, will probably turn on each other within the first week of shtf or teotwawki. They will all be reduced to the same common denominator, FOOD, WATER, then comes shelter, medical, etc. They will very rapidly realize that $300...

Speaking of 9mm, i did find online some for a decent price, but it was only 2 boxes per order or person, idk. It was $22 for a box of 50 of MAXX Tech 9 mm luger 115 gr brass cased. There was shipping too though, but i know i added some other stuff to the order, including some .223 and .22lr, so...

I hope that is the case, i really do. It would be nice to see the prices plummet, and tons of ammo all over. Unfortunately, i dont see ammo clogging the shelves anywhere. I have been so conditioned that ammo is scarce, i still buy whatever calibers i need when i see it. Now, its true, rifle...

Thats very high. When the peak of the ammo shortage was in full affect, a dollar a round was the going rate, which is ridiculous. Now i am finding .223 and 5.56 for .50 cents to .65 cents per round. I recently got Tulammo .223 steel cased for like $8.99 a box of 20 rounds, picked up about 20...

I thought this was a thread about how to turn into a little tiny alien, aka the grey man.

Then you sir, shall be expelled. Go home, and write 100 times in a notebook, " I shall not go pew pew with my AR finger replica".

That is solid information right there, and not often thought about. I feel bad for your friend. It seems like you can try to prepare for anything and everything, and still be caught off guard. I hope insurance will pay for what he lost, but usually it never does. From how you described him in...

Yes sir, and they are awesome. Its called Trimag, and made by alangator.com. Honestly, ebay has them for the best price. Just look up ruger 10/22 Trimag, and they will come right up. They come in black and clear, but i dont think your camo pattern. I dont think any of the 10/22 rotary magazines...

If he was 16, i dont think that would matter at all. The issue is the BB gun, or as i am sure all the faculty said GUN, was in school. That is the problem. I am not saying if its right or wrong, but i do know that ANYTHING having to do with a gun is a no go in schools nowadays. It has gotten to...

Nice looking ruger you got there. When i target shoot up on my property, i use 3 different ar 15s, a Kel tec rdb, etc, and yet for some reason i always wind up using my ruger 10/22 more. They are just so fun to shoot. I have the carbine model that came with the scope and case. There are...

That wasnt prepping back then. That was just normal life. The older generation remembered and lived in a time when refrigeration, and electricity, and running water was not available. They learned to live under those conditions. Storing and canning food, using a root cellar, and all the many...

Personally, i have 3 to 4 years worth of food strategically placed within 3 of my homes. I also have cases upon cases of 50 year shelf life cans of water. I have water filtration systems that can purify any water, whether biological, parasitic, virus, or any other contaminates, in each home. I...

Dispersed? Meaning what exactly? Did you stash it strategically in different places, or something different all together?

Amazing, and cool. I have to say it also seems very foreign to me too because i grew up in one of the city boroughs. There were definitely no shooting ranges, old or new, EVER in any of the schools i went to. Forget about bringing a shotgun for wood class, no way. The best though was that my...

Yes absolutely, but only on camera. I have quite a few strategic trail cams on my 26 acres. I have personally seen coyote at night, with my night vision, a whole flock of like 30 turkeys were walking thru my land last October. EVERY time i go up there i see deer, and usually stir one up from...

Wow, thats crazy to me, lol. I must be a bit younger than you, as i was born in the mid 70s, but the thought of bringing a shotgun to school, to work on at wood shop class, is wild to me. Dont get me wrong, i think its great, and i truly wish we still lived in a world where that was the norm...

To boldly shoot where no one has shot before.

Thank you for all the info, much appreciated, and yes you are right, it is a bit confusing. My take, from what i see, is yes chipmunks and squirrels, and mice are all unprotected. They can be taken in any numbers you want. If you "hunt" them though, with a crossbow, bow, or firearms you need a...

Thanks for that. I have the same problem with chipmunks, but in my cabin. If i dont go up there for a a month or so, depending on season, they get into my cabin and tear up insulation, rip into boxes, destroy rolls of paper towels, and all that kind of stuff. The worst part though, is the mice...

Great idea, then "they" will do the heavy lifting for me.

Absolutely not. My land is completely secluded, with only one way in, which is a "road" on the survey, and i OWN the road. Nobody can see what i am doing there, for what its worth.

I HAVE my own property to shoot on, and NOBODY can see or find me there. That said, my drive to it is the issue. I have to make sure they are safe act compliant in my trunk on the way there. Once there, on my land, the safe act has no jurisdiction.

Hey, so i have 26 plus acres in upstate Ulster county, catskills. My land borders on the huge 700,000 acre state land, surrounds me on 3 sides, that is used extensively for hunting. I personally do NOT hunt, as of yet. I simply use my property to relax, enjoy the quiet of mother nature...

Thats already happening, and at the highest level. China actually controls our media, from hollywood to news. This is why you NEVER hear about the horrendous human rights violations, and slave labor camps, that they impose on their own people. The ONLY "news" you hear about China is that it is...
