I also use Ballistol, and have Frog Lube, although I don't find Frog Lube to be as convenient to use for my maintenance methods. Love the smell of Frog Lube so much though. I want to get some Slip 2000 gun oil, it is synthetic high performance stuff, but non-toxic and eco-friendly.
I also found...
Polyester is probably better I would think because it won't hold moister near the gun as much? I have thought about making a waxed canvas sleeve for my shotgun when I don't want it to get wet outdoors, that might be good for in a safe too. Anything is probably OK if the safe itself isn't humid...
If it is a Tisas slide, it should be pretty good. I have listened to the late gunsmithing legend Bob Dunlap talk about being consulted by Tisas on how to build their 1911s and they did a very thorough job. If they are still buliding them the same way, they should be made using centrifugal...
Thank you to all the warriors who gave their life in the line of duty, and to all those who continue to go into harm's way to defend us. God bless the American soldier.
Hoping you can find ways to stay active and content Dr. Mike. I have been having my own health issues that have an unknown cause. I had excruciating stomach pain maybe a month ago and felt out of sorts since then. Had it happen again yesterday, but I managed to catch it with some pain killer...
I buy a lot of groceries, and in my case I am typically going to look a lot like the women when selecting items. Find the cans with good dates and no dents, pick the tomatoes with good color, and texture, make sure the bread will last past tomorrow. I feel like I translated the carefull...
I was going to comment less elequently on dry fire practice and the like, but the two fellows above have done so far better than I could have. As far as simulators, there existence for home use is new to me, although I guess I should have expected they existed. That said even if it is just a...
Oh, fun! I do some 3D moddeling and had thought about how cool it would be to be able to print a model I have made using one of those. Did you go with an extrusion or laser printer?
It actually may be that using something to kill him in your belly button might be the reason you caught something from him, although it could have just been there for long enough as well. Sometimes if you irritate a tick with heat, poison, etc, they will basically vomit into your blood stream...
I notice this gun is made in my home state of Arkansas, in Berryville. Same place where Wilson Combat is manufactured, I wonder if this one might be made by Wilson?
I don't know much about permethrin, I'll have to look into it. The problem I usually find with tick protection is that something that is toxic the the little buggers tends to also be toxic to people, it just takes more time for a person to manifest any impact. I never liked deet. Never heard of...
Oh, sorry to hear that. He was a beautiful animal for sure. It's hard to part with old friends.
"For lives that passed us by
For love and it's last cry
For the ones we have left behind
For a close friendships end
For how this kinship is rent
For the ones we won't feel again
It is not life...
Just had a tick crawling up my side as I came to sit down at my computer, hah.
My mom read somewhere recently that supposedly the U.S. admitted that lyme disease was invented as a bio weapon. I haven't looked into it but I have heard people saying that they believed this to be the case for...
