Have it. Like it. Get the riser. Look up installation instructions before just smacking it on.

I have the Bushnell and really like it. It looks identical, as the previous post explains why...

Anyways, just be sure to push the sight forward firmly as you install it on the rail. Bad installation is why most people claim these won't hold zero...imo.
Don't buy into all that tacticool shite. Extended magazine tube, and a shortened stock or adjustable stock.

Then get some real world advice on how run it. These things will beat the shite out of you if you mount it like a regular shotgun. Shorten the stock and move the butt plate in toward the middle of your chest under your dominant eye. The recoil will be less and hurt less with the shotgun moved in toward the center line of your body.
So when you take a trophy Jungle and mate it with a Jaguar-morph Coastal, how many Jungle Jaguar Carpet Pythons will you get per mate. And are their other snakes from that combo that aren't jungle jags?
Gorgeous! I miss keepin snakes. The wife hates em. Great pets.

This. In combat flight the maneuvers are not anticipated, so hucking alone isn't enough. When the BA's or TB's fly they able to anticipate the maneuvers and can therefore huck their way through them.

re: How to reload .223 ammo

Posted by Lpmann3 on 8/24/14 at 8:22 am to
Reloading is easy and there really isn't any danger of the powder going off. I mean, its not the time to have a stogie while reloading if you know what I mean...

Anyways, if your gonna reload 223 its pretty simple. Its just about like reloading any other rifle cartridge with one exception. You will want to de-prime and resize the brass. Both of these will be done with one die. Then you will want to clean the brass. I like vibratory polishers the best, use either walnut shell or corn husk for the media.

...here is where it gets different from other reloading, you will need a tool called a swager to take the crimp out of the primer pocket. If you don't, you will crush your primers over and over again trying to get it in the primer pocket...

Once you have swaged the brass seat a primer. Always seat the primers as deep as you can. If they are not seated all the way, they MAY have a tendency not to go off. Now you put in your powder and seat the bullet.

Word to the wise, check your powder throw over and over again to ensure that you are using the right amount of powder. New powder measures tend to throw differing amounts of powder than once the powder measure gets a little dirty. So don't think that your first measure of power is going to be accurate. Once you are putting out the right amount of powder, measure 10 or so throws to ensure that it is staying consistent.

At minimum you will need...
A press
Powder scale
polisher
2 dies, a deprime/resize die and a bullet seat die
pocket swager
A primer that works by hand or with your press
powder measure
and a case trimmer-if you are going to be shooting the brass in different rifles.

Have fun!

meauxjeaux2,

If the door switch is bad wouldn't the unit stop running the compressor?

re: I need some home ac help

Its not going to be a fuse. The tstat is powered by the same supply that powers the air handler. If your compressor is running, you have power to the tstat, therefore your air handler has power as well.

Same thing with the panel. If your outside unit is running, then its not the switch on the access panel.

Same thing with the drip pan, if the outside compressor is running, then the system believes that it is up and running.

Your system thinks that everything is okay, obviously it is not. The blower in the air handler uses a capacitor just like the compressor outside. The capacitor stores extra energy that it then discharges when starting up the compressor, or the fan motor, etc.

If you want to test it, use a multimeter to find out what the capacitor is doing. This will be based upon the size of the capacitor, etc. I can't just tell you what the capacitor should read.

Turn the whole unit off for about 5 minutes. Then turn it on again. Does the blower motor sound like it is attempting to run. It will sound like it is trying to start turning, but then kick off. It may try this a couple of times and then just stop trying. This could be indicative that either the capacitor or the blower motor are bad. Again, use a multimeter to test them and see if they are working properly.

The first things I would check are the run capacitor connected to the fan motor in the air handler, or the fan motor itself.

Glock is preferable IMO.

Don't listen to all the haters. The quality of the M&P is good. One might be better in your hands than another though. You have to use what fits you well.
My dad has one. Tack driver. Freakin awesome little gun.
There is a drain block in the block wall right by the rabbit cage. Unfortunately the snake definitely could have gotten in the rabbits cage. I think the dogs scared off the snake. I came home and the rabbit was still all soft and floppy. No rigamortis yet. Rabbit was less than a year old. I'm just pretty sure it was the snake.

Rattlesnake killed my daughters rabbit

Daughter went out to the rabbit cage to feed her rabbit some left over salad from dinner and the rabbit was dead. She came running in the house. When she went back out the dogs had a big arse western diamondback cornered. I wasn't home and my wife is terrified of snakes. I am hoping to find him soon and properly separate his head from his body. Gonna buy some .22 snake shot today. Pics to follow if I get the bastard.
So I am straying a bit from where this post is going, but if you haven't read the book Seal Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper....you should. It is mostly about the Black Sea Conflict, a.k.a. Black Hawk Down, and it explains a lot of shite from the movie. It really shows just how accurate a lot of the details in the movie were.

Nice post by the way

If you plan on putting any kind of stain on it do not use wood glue not saw dust to fill the cracks. Wood glue WILL NOT TAKE STAIN. It'll be really light compared to everything else. The other problem is that saw dust TAKES TOO MUCH STAIN. In one scenario you have wood filler that is too light, in the next it is too dark. Your best bet is to get a good wood filler that will accept stain that is similarly colored to your floor. The only way to figure this out it to buy a couple small amounts of filler, use it on a test board, sand it, stain it and us which ever one is best. Wood will darken, white oak only slightly, in sunlight over time... so if your filler is just slightly darker than the wood, thats okay.
Get Adobe creative cloud. Its 10 bucks a month and you can download any of adobe's programs. It costs less that buying PS and you get LR or any other of Adobe's soft ware. Also, when the new versions come out, you get em!

The idea that compression wears out a spring is a couple decades old. You can load your magazines to full capacity...you don't have to dry fire your guns before putting away.

on another note...the more you use your magazines, the less reliable they become. I mark mine. I use old ones for practice and keep the new ones loaded up for defense.
