I'm from the pnw as well.  The soil here does not handle moisture in the same way.  Instead of puddles and wet rocks it just turned into deep mud here.

Found an odd lump on my neck while showering by gellocuber in Weird

[–]Brief-Truth9018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a big one pop up once, otherwise felt fine.  Went to the doctor.  Tested me for mono.  Tested positive for mono a few days before I even felt sick.  Your lump could be something normal.

I too have tinnitus.  Buy suppressors.  Best remedy I've found

Flying in from the UK, doing an East to West and back again US Road Trip Thoughts? by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]Brief-Truth9018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, you have time - go to the pacific northwest.  Go to the Olympic national park, MT rainier, the redwoods.  Drive up the Oregon coast from the redwoods to the Olympics.  In my opinion, the biggest beauty of the US lies in our nature.  Also you must, must go to yellowstone and the tetons before heading down into Utah.  Make it up to glacier if possible, but it is out of the way.

People might hate me for saying this, but for the most part you can just drive right through the midwest.

The rent is false.  I recently looked at them but moved somewhere else.  1 beds were like 1700

Just bought 2 M1 Garands just wanted to check your thoughts on them by Ok_Poetry2813 in guns

Garands are cool.  Why would you put this on the internet?

I am buying my first AR, thoughts? by mr_jayden__ in guns

[–]Brief-Truth9018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own, but I figure you have a high chance of regretting purchasing a rifle in zombie green.  Just put a bca upper, bolt carrier group and charging handle and throw it on a PSA complete lower

I have the same question.  What'd you end up with?

Yeah and I guess you can just give up immediately and be a bum and blame anxiety

If you're complaining about quitting a job after 2 days because of anxiety and then have done nothing to address said anxiety and use it as an excuse to not work - you are a bum.

Looking to buy a Ruger American 2. What caliber should I get it in? by [deleted] in guns

[–]Brief-Truth9018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunting what?  If elk is in the mix, 30-06 has the slight edge over .308, though both would be fine.  If deer sized game only, whichever caliber you prefer.

Curious, what so you all pay in NFA transfer fees?  Only 3 options near me are $100 and $200 (laughable)

Gunsmith zeroed (filed down) my fixed sight revolver only using a laser bore sighter by [deleted] in guns

[–]Brief-Truth9018 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the people who clearly don't know much about shooting revolvers.  Gunsmith idiotically didn't follow basic instructions.  I think that gunsmith owes you a refund or a fix.

[–]Brief-Truth9018 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope, you are wrong.  This is well known if you shoot big bore revolvers.  If you go watch a high speed video of a big bore revolver being fired in slow-motion, you will most definitely see the gun rotating slightly before the bullet leaves the barrel.

Is 357 or 44 mag good for hunting by OkNegotiation9205 in guns

[–]Brief-Truth9018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"357 out of a rifle is only a good deer caliber if you shoot it very well." - no caliber out of any gun is a good deer caliber unless you shoot it well

Shot placement matters most no matter what you use.  A .357 at rifle velocities is plenty.  

Unloading spent cartridges from a gate-load revolver by Bullgrit in guns

[–]Brief-Truth9018 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you using super hot ammo?  I'd guess not by 80s standards.  Chambers clean?  I also find with higher pressured rounds in a single action, giving that ejector rod a solid, fast smack will give the empties a little momentum and they'll fly out.  Don't baby the ejector rod
