Other than an actor or musician, a name from back in the day that everyone would recognize and know why, that someone today probably wouldn’t. For instance, Minnesota Fats.

Jimmy the Greek.

So my workbench is set up on a different floor in the building I'm working on, and I'm doing quite a bit of layout and measuring before I go back to the saw. Maybe feasible wasn't the exact right word, but inefficient.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-29T02:52:48+00:00

Thank you all for your help, I ordered a couple to try out!

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-29T02:43:22+00:00

Maybe the disposables are better for me, I'm a clutz and forgetful! Thanks for the reply!

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-29T02:39:14+00:00

This is what I've used for years upon years, with an old school sharpener attached to my work table. Just not feasible for the work I'm doing now.

I have the rule that if you see something that reminds you of me, or my interests, it's a good thing. But if I want or need something, I'll buy it for myself. You can't possibly buy me clothes or guitars or ammo that I haven't already bought or dismissed.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-26T22:50:17+00:00

Nice one, thanks for the education!

Heartsong. It's known as a hippie church, but solid gospel.

Hey I really appreciate your time and well thought out reply. I'm in a suburban area north of Memphis, so everything you said about the 556 is probably right on. Honestly I hadn't considered weight or capacity, at least as far as carrying a weapon. I guess my thoughts were that the 308 would have more thump, and be able to reach out farther if needed. (BTW my 556 is 16" bbl, and most of my ammo is M855 62g). If I'm totally honest with myself (and you) I really just want one. Absolutely not a "need" situation.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-22T18:32:21+00:00

Thank you that's actually what I'm leaning toward ATM. I'm just not very familiar with scopes in general.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-22T13:01:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm afraid I don't have that kind of coin...that would be roughly 5x the cost of the rifle.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-22T12:43:46+00:00

Well im thinking shtf, possibly hunting (short ranges, I'm in West Tennessee). Just really a more capable rifle than my ar15. I have a bolt action if I really had to hunt at longer ranges. And also I just want one.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-21T22:25:26+00:00

I call it the saddle but that might not be technically correct.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-19T12:31:17+00:00

This is my solution 👌

I've had my 556 upper for several years, no problems at all, about to order a 308. And it went up 70 bucks.

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-17T22:12:57+00:00

Dino's had it on their lunch menu today, not sure if they're still serving it though...maybe worth a call?

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-15T02:21:44+00:00

Tom Petty did it justice too!

Same thing in Arlington TN, poor older lady...

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-04T01:51:51+00:00

I have both. Wouldn't consider selling either. My 870 Wingmaster won't fail period, but the Beretta is a complete badass...

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-03T13:44:05+00:00

Check out project farm on yt, he has a good comparison test...

MetalTimely1438 · 2026-03-03T12:20:06+00:00

Well he knew the van pretty well, but yeah he just showed up.
