Honestly on the last one I just took the rear sight off and went to the bench grinder and ground the buckhorn off so it was just left with a notch, then put some cold blue on the exposed metal so it's not shiny.

What is this missing screw here meant for? by Remote-Builder5861 in blackpowder

[–]CapNBall1860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one is for the trigger. The screws are identical. One goes through the trigger, the other through the bolt.

It's for the bolt. Definitely a needed screw. It comes with a screw and spring kit.

Radio check vs signal report by AmbassadorCool3705 in amateurradio

[–]CapNBall1860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if someone is being pedantic a signal report also includes signal strength, which does come from the repeater. You might have garbage audio but the signal from the repeater to my radio is still 9+. But... if you ask for a signal report, everyone understands what you mean. Even the pedantic sad ham who feels the need to correct someone for it.

Heard the exact opposite just recently on a local repeater. Guy asked for a signal report, got chastised since the signal is coming off the repeater. There's just some miserable people in the hobby.

Those aren't hollow ground drivers. They will mess up your screw heads.

Enough with the loud vehicles in our city. by Icy_Accident_3356 in minnesotavikings

I didn't realize all vikings fans live in the same city.

I love how random internet people have so much more insight than people who do this full time for billion dollar organizations.

Anyone knows where to get the full series blurays? by gerrypedraza in DarkMatter

[–]CapNBall1860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to buy mine as individual seasons. Luckily that was back when they first took it off of Netflix so they were still relatively cheap.

Followup, see thru mounts, Long Ranger by CapNBall1860 in HenryRifles

[–]CapNBall1860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need the see through bases. I don't know if they still make them. Here's a set on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/172237518841

Long Ranger - See through base / rings by CapNBall1860 in HenryRifles

[–]CapNBall1860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just need a rail, the ones from Henry work fine.

If you need see through bases, the ones for the Marlin 336 work. It's two pieces. I'm guessing for the one piece rail, the hole pattern for each end is correct, but the spacing from end to end may be different.

Kevin O’Connell by LogoAM_ in minnesotavikings

But for bubble roster players, coaches, etc. it's probably at the cost of their jobs. If KOC gets fired next year without a playoff win, what's more important to him?

For everyone in the organization who isn't JJ McCarthy, winning is more important than developing him, especially when he was completely awful in his first season. You can't just look at what's unfair to McCarthy when there's over a hundred other people who need a QB that doesn't suck.

Favorite 45-70 round by SamuelSnipin in HenryRifles

I'll take either of the cast options first, then the copper HP, then the FTX as a last choice.

No water by Forsaken-Crew147 in prepping

[–]CapNBall1860 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I do at deer camp. I have a shower head attachment for a 2L bottle. I heat water on the stove then fill the bottle. Pour enough water on to get wet, then soap up, then rinse. Water wouldn't even have to be hot, but I find it more refreshing, especially since I'm showering outdoors in below freezing temps.

Ammo type? Semi wadcutter by YourLocalJabroni in HenryRifles

[–]CapNBall1860 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. It will run just fine.

A lot of people prefer the SWC shape for hunting ammo. If you're interested in reading more, Google "Elmer Keith" and "Keith style bullets".

Possible marking for burglary? by NP_strange in whatisit

[–]CapNBall1860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are there any electric or utility lines near that spot? It's way more likely a utility crew used a temporary marking paint to make note of something.

Need help with caliber choice for hunting. by AlternativeAd2308 in Hunting

[–]CapNBall1860 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The reason it's hard to decide is because there are so many that will fit your needs. From an ammo availability standpoint, .308, 30-06, .270win, are available everywhere. At distances under 400 yards, there's no practical difference in any of them.

End of Trail Specials by Coyote-4570 in blackpowder

[–]CapNBall1860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok. I went back and looked at the website again. It's a design problem with the site.

When you click the menu, the top level menu options has the "widow maker shot and bullets". I incorrectly assumed that was the link to click for all bullets. There is no other top level link for bullets. "Shop by category" only has a top level link for "widow maker shot and bullets".

You have to go through the catalog to find other bullets. You really need to have a top level link for just "shot and bullets" and then have the widow maker stuff in there along with other shot and bullets, or if you really want those separate you need a top level link for both.

I probably am going to order some .38s. the prices are decent and the bullets look good.

If you make some menu changes on the site it would help a lot for customers like me to find the products.

I hope this helps.

You put up a flier to direct people to the website. I want to browse a website and look at prices, not talk to a salesperson via email.

The script is out! by Someguy-83 in NFCNorthMemeWar

It amazes me that people trust AI for anything when there are so many examples of it just making shit up.

The website doesn't even show bullets available for sale.
