I've used Ballistol as a bore cleaner for the last bit. I honestly wasn't sure how well it was working compared to dedicated cleaners, but I have heard other people say that they were using products specifically for cleaning bores, then tried Ballistol and had a patch come out black from a gun...

Simple but good combination of meat loaf, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots.

I'm in southern Arkansas. It is mild to warm weather, and the torrents of rain have started for the season. When it isn't raining it is very pleasant right now. What I am not looking forward to is summer, it will be humid as heck once that comes around and just sweltering

I'm not the kind of person that likes flashy catridges or big magnums. I literally weigh less than 120 pounds, 117 to be exact, and it does not feel pleasant to get hit by a big 'ole monster of a cartridge all the time. I can pretty much guarantee I will shoot a .308 more accurately than a .300...

I got a little refresher on how these work, although I don't know how a conversion would be done exactly as I didn't look up anything specific to that. It looks like the series 80 just added a firing pin block safety. That consists of the firing pin block plunger and it's spring, which is in the...

I've never done this, so I am not particularly usefull probably, but I do have an armorers course on the 1911 from some of my gunsmithing training that I had started getting into a few years ago. It has been a bit since I looked at it, but this question has me wanting to take a look at what the...

😐😯.... Woah.

I got to go kayaking for the first time last year and loved it, but I don't know if I could do it if I lived in Florida!

Wow, that second story is crazy.

I had someone ask how well a .22 Mag rimfire could be expected to perform as an animal defense cartridge for up to coyote, fired from a 5.5 in. revolver. My instinct was that that might be stretching the cartridges effective use, but it might be better than nothing. However, this isn't my...

I'm pretty sure we eliminated any reason to visit the restaurant with this meal, but if I had to cook for very many more people I'd probably drop dead from exhaustion by the end of the week! 😅

This is my family's Olive Garden imitation, home made zoupa tuscana soup, my brothers attempt at copying their bread sticks (very close copy), and a ceasar salad pack that we just picked up from Walmart to make it easy. This was really good together! I'm trying to get the soup recipe from my...

I believe this is an issue that has put a strangle hold on much of America's young men. Many parents don't address it when they can, often because they are unwilling to, and sometimes because they are stuck with the same problems. Then their kids get to the age where they don't want to listen...

My Mom apparently came back from vacation wanting lots of home made cooking, so the last couple days I've been helping prep lots of good food. I have no idea what style of meal you could call this, but we happened to make these things together once and it became an all time family favorite...

Some of these I do have stored on my computer, so I can post the recipes easy! Others though I am still trying to figure out what it is my Mom would put in it, but she rarely measures things very carefully, so I still don't know how much to do for certain meals, ha ha. For this beef and veggie...

Made some soup yesterday. I was pretty exhausted but I really wanted something good and hearty for dinner, so with my two brothers' help we got two big Instant Pots made. Had leftovers today. Here is what a typical set of vegetables before prep looks like. The knife on the board is a gyuto that...

But where does the phone get it... NOAA maybe?

I wondered about that. I have never heard anything good about their firearms situation unfortunately, but I don't know what the exact circumstances are.

Interesting, I didn't know there even was hunting on Hawaii. I am of Hawaiian decent, but I have never had the chance to visit the islands. If I ever had the opportunity to go there I certainly would be interested in hunting while there. Seems like it could offer a unique experience. Let us know...

I don't have harvested meat to use in my meals, but I do cook a lot! My family often makes large soups of 22 servings a pot, and I am the resident knife enthusiast, so I tend to do the cutting for most of our large meals. I have enjoyed learning a lot about cooking over the last couple years...
