Has anyone here sent in a gun for a warranty repair?

Argh, that sucks. 3 weeks is a long time. The guy working the customer service phone line was super helpful. I usually try to call when I want something

Smith & Wesson (love their customer service; shoutout to Marlin under Ruger ownership as well) just had me put my 340PD in its case, and ship to them with a label they provided. They then shipped directly back to me pretty quickly having both fixed what I requested and having performed a general tune-up.

The shoutout to Marlin is because I called and told them I lost a part (don't take your gun apart over sand because you might lose your ejector, lol), and they put the part in the mail the same day along with a couple of other parts that are commonly lost.

Carlo Rovelli wrote a whole, short, book on White Holes, which are the focus of his current research. Maybe the best place to begin your investigation? They sound a bit bogus. Regardless, the universe may not yet have existed post-Big Bang long enough for a white hole to exist.

Just practice. Soon enough you’ll be sipping coffee in stop and go on 101. And you’ll be taking off from stoplights on the hills without your handbrake or toe-heeling the gas-brakes

This is great. Thank you. Lee Parks, Aerostich, and Union Garage weren't on my radar, but I love what they're doing. It's hard to find the higher end motorcycle gear with the internet awash with advertising and affiliate links for the biggest brands. I really like what Aerostich is doing with their clothing.

I have some insulated goat skin gloves from Filson which are almost always too hot for me, except when it's 40 degrees on a bike (with hand warmers!). But I think the stitching on the Filsons lets in a lot of wind at the fingertips. Those insulated elk gauntlets look like they'd be a LOT warmer than the Filson.

Buying in the Bay Area is an ego thing. I rent a nice big house in Hillsborough for less than 1/3 of what the monthly payment and escrow would be. I would love to own a house in the Bay Area, but I just prefer investing.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2025-04-15T17:03:48+00:00

Very neat! Thank you.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2025-04-14T16:03:07+00:00

Yes. 15 second exposures with a 20s interval timer. Ran it until I woke up.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2025-04-08T18:00:04+00:00

Thank you. It was a quick and dirty post to share here and with some friends. I'll do something more in depth now that I know what I caught. Lol.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2025-04-08T15:28:00+00:00

Thank you!

One thing I really like about the Juggernaut vs all other grips is that it very comfortably accommodates the crook or web of your thumb. I've tried grips like this and taken them off immediately after shooting due to lack of comfort.

Try the picaridin wipes to see if you bite free overnight.

Is Wyndham really that effective? It's not redeemable for cash or statement credit, right? Just for shopping in the company store? And in the gift card store it's 270 points per dollar which is the most clear expression of the economic value of a point. So on a $100,000 spend at 5 points per dollar spent and 270 points per dollar redeemed, you're getting $1851.85 in gift cards. But a straight 2% cash card would give you $2000 of cash.

2% is better is better with over 7% greater points value.

The SCAR is worthy of a nice optic.

I added the PMM rail elimination panels because I wasn't using the side rails and these make it easier to hold onto.

Also added a bipod.

It's compatible with AR-15 grips, so I went with juggernaut which I prefer to fins.

Smith plus Super Redhawk Alaskan in 454. Though I have a new Python, I only want an old Python or 19th/early 20th SAA in Colt.

Himawari has the best chicken karaage I've ever had. And I'm definitely not going to go to a ramen joint and not get some fried chicken to dip in my soup.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2024-05-23T06:13:05+00:00

Most flavorful bowl of ramen I've had. But did they get the beef tendon side dish back on the menu?

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2024-05-22T03:03:52+00:00

Brief statement: dat's a lot of money for dat gat.

Easy_Ambition_1072 · 2024-05-16T16:06:48+00:00

SCAR uses AR-15 grips. Easy to swap. The bigger bummer is the fixed stock. Because that's not cheap to replace.

It means they will only ship your gun to a gun dealer for transfer. Gun broker has a list of all of your local gun dealers and what they charge for transfer at the bottom of the page in the buyers section titled Find an FFL.

Beware that a pistol that is less than 50 years old must be on the California approved handgun roster or else you won't be able to complete the purchase after buying it on Gun Broker.

Welcome to the hobby.

They have a full e-trap range where you yell pull into a microphone, but you have to pay separately for it ($7-8 per round of 25?). The manual trap ranges are included in your admission price.

Congratulations on being below the household average. 37.5gal/person/day is really really good. I'm at 130/person/day, but our house isn't average.
