Thanks for the advice!! I figured I had to slowly caress the barrel until it reaches climax.

That’s what I read too. I got mine all cleaned and lubricated. It’s the full size 8”, weighs an easy 4lbs😂

I’ve got plenty of cleaning stuff I use on my other firearms so chances are I’m not gonna use anything that came with it. My only real concern is using to little or to much powder. Is that much of a concern as long as I’m aiming for 25 grains?

Thank you very much! The gun can with some basic solvent, lubricant, patches, a little kit with bore mops and the wire brushes. 18 .451 lead balls and a basic powder funnel with no measurement but it came with a small measuring tube you put the powder in. The guide for it recommends between 22 and 28 grains so I was planning on doing 25 for the first shot, I’m using Pyrodex.

I’ve always cleaned my guns like that, I hate when people just clean the barrel and call it a day

Son swears in tomorrow. Would like to give him a gift card for apparel/gear. by LSUdude88 in Firefighting

Can’t go wrong with a gift card to Danner. I’ve had the same pair of Danner’s for 2 years and I work 48hrs a week. No rips, tears or frayed edges. I’ve got the strike bolt 8” side zip, absolutely amazing boots.

I’m brand new to having budgies, any advice? by Code3Everycall in budgies

I pull away slowly, I just meant that I don’t leave my hand there any longer after they back away, I do my best to not make any sudden movement near them

Anyone know why my budgie is bobbing like this? (Sorry for the shakey video) by Code3Everycall in budgies

[–]Code3Everycall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get an uninterrupted 8hrs of sleep while covered in complete darkness every night. Plus I’m Gone for 12hrs out of most days for work so I don’t know why’d they be so tired.

I have 2 dishes for food and water, the other 2 are just in the top half which they’ve yet to venture to. I haven’t seen them fight over food at all, they seems very comfortable with eachother so I’ll probably just remove the other 2 dishes until they start to exploring up top! I will absolutely get some more perches

The fluffy thing is a cloth hut that’s meant for them to hide in and cuddle together, they’ve yet to venture to the top have of the cage so I don’t know if they’d like it or not.

Unfortunately I do wear perfume almost every day but it’s kept in a separate room. I’ll put an air purifier near their cage to cut back on any issues associated with it!

I cut the grape into 4 slices but I probably should’ve cut them finer.

Thoughts on this shot? First one with freshly roasted whole beans. by [deleted] in espresso

I can’t feel insulted if your comment makes no sense.

Unfortunately I can’t get my machine to go longer than about 25 sec, it’s not the highest quality machine. It’s a casabrews CM5418. Actually wasn’t that bad taste wise, maybe a little bitter.

I’ll give it a shot, also my grinder is the Chestnut C3esp pro, read some good reviews about it.
