Italian sausage and meatballs.

Nothing better than homemade jam on fresh homemade sourdough…. Glad it turned out. Although….. I dont remember posting about jam lol.

Good to know. Haven’t been west of Minot.

Yeah MN stinks. But I’ve spent a lot of time in Minot and it’s not much better lol 😆

I have had bad luck with pack covers personally. inevitably my pack would still get wet. I use dry bags now inside and just let the outside of the pack get wet. Nylofume bags are cheap, ultralight and work amazing as dry bag/pack liner. I have also used Hefty trash compactor bags which are also cheap and light.

About 2,000 people. Mostly rural. Yeah, weather aside, I loved living in flyover country small town.

I was born and raised in MN. You couldn’t pay me to go back there. Winters suck and are 5 months long. Always cloudy…. spring time, everything is soggy and muddy. Bugs and ticks are horrible and salt on the roads destroy your vehicles. We had to plug in our cars at night in the winter just so they would start in the morning (cars there usually have block heaters to keep oil from gelling. Nothing worse than getting your a$$ out of bed in the winter mornings when it’s still dark and -10° and your windshield is solid ice and you can’t drive anywhere until you scrape the ice off for 20 min. Or if there is a snowstorm and you can leave until you shovel your driveway to get out of garage. There is a reason this state is full of people from the midwest. I moved here in 2002 with my wife and didn’t know anyone. Now my folks live here and so does my sister and her family, my aunts, uncles and cousins. They came to visit and decided to leave that he!!hole too I do miss small town living though. for me an AZ summer is so much easier than a midwest winter. Summer just deal with heat. Winters you deal with snow, cold, ice, crappy roads, wearing boots everywhere, shoveling snow, short days, no sun. Never been to MT but i’m guessing winters are just as bad.

It’s pretty rudimentary but all I do is level rifle/base in a vise and put a level piece of painter’s tape on the wall and use that to level reticle. Torque down. You could also use a plumb line from the ceiling.

Honestly learn to do it and buy the few tools it takes. I don’t think I could trust another person making minimum wage to mount my optics. Really all you need is a bipod or gun vise, a level and a fat torque wrench.

I have the tall height but sorry not interested in trading but, another cheaper option is just buy the long legs and either keep the regular legs or sell them. They are like $30 each. They just easily screw into the main body.

Yes you can build it into a pistol. The FFL should have listed it as a “frame” or “receiver” on the 4473

13 years for me. Long enough to remember when we didn’t need a password to discuss politics!

Since our wonderful “free market” government shut down the Strelok Pro app (because the dev was Russian), I have to find a new ballistics app to use…. What is the next best one?

As an American, another option I have is to criticize this joke of a Government all I want thank you.

I have not, but I have watched many good reviews. They are G19 gen 3 clones with interchangeable parts

Sweet Ruger. Would love to have one.

Just an FYI I bought Shooter and a Strelok clone called, Chairgun Elite +. I’ll try both see which I like. So far after messing with both all morning the Chairgun is the one I’d use if I had to pick. But I will continue to use both. I ran exact same dope charts on both and they were both putting out exact same data. Chairgun has updated ammo and scope reticles and large libraries of both. Shooter seems like it hasn’t been updated in years. Anyone looking for a Strelok substitute should check out Chairgun

just bought this app. thanks.

that’s exactly what happened. I had it and used it for years and upgraded my phone last month. Tried to use it this morning and it’s locked. All my saved data was in there. I’m pissed.

Is there an app, or it is just a desktop/web program?

what was your experience? pretty tough to screw up a stripped lower. It’s a piece of aluminum.
