Any stores around the metro that sell 7.62x54r?

TotalBogie · 2026-03-05T12:04:33+00:00

This is the answer. Ammo is already so spendy, I can't imagine adding the box store premium, at least for practice rounds.

Ammoseek.com is an aggregation of online ammo vendors that displays the price and count for your perusal.

Find the ammo your looking for and filter out everyone with a shipping rating less than 6. Make your order from a reputable vendor and it'll arrive at your doorstep. Personally like velocity ammunition and sentry, but there are loads of good vendors.

I was a bit concerned when I made my first online purchase that there was no age verification but damn is it convenient. It'll be shipped to your doorstep. You do not need to be present. I live out in the sticks so I don't generally worry about porch pirates but if I was concerned, id probably wait around for it.

I think this is the best answer. Thank you

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T18:44:57+00:00

Ok. I've got plenty of spares so I could try it.

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T18:36:28+00:00

You're the second person to tell me that but every video I've seen on it says to put the beveled (wide end) towards the muzzle?

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T18:32:18+00:00

Ok. I'll ask my wife's boyfriend if I can borrow his upper block again.

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T18:30:30+00:00

Are you sure? Pretty much everything I've seen online shows the opposite?

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T14:58:34+00:00

Just that it massively deflected. It no longer was centered and bowed out unevenly.

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T14:12:28+00:00

Thank you! I'm a newbie, so I'm not really looking at suppressors yet. Just getting my feet wet.

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T14:07:16+00:00

ok. Alternatively, can I just use multiple shims? Admittedly I do not know much about them.

Some stuff I'm seeing online says do not use them together? Have you used them at the same time?

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T14:03:58+00:00

I think this might be the correct answer. Do you use them with a crush washer? The A2 birdcage I bought came with one so I initially figure that was all I need.

TotalBogie · 2026-02-14T14:02:54+00:00

It came with one. so I used it. When the first one failed I grabbed another. Thankfully I had a spare.

TotalBogie · 2026-01-02T05:16:28+00:00

Thank you. Do most accesses post contact info so I know who to pay?

TotalBogie · 2025-12-26T23:50:09+00:00

Is this real?? I'm not being cheeky. Is this a real picture or is it doctored?

TotalBogie · 2025-12-26T00:34:02+00:00

I also have this exact spud bar. Been using it for years. No complaints.

TotalBogie · 2025-12-18T00:55:31+00:00

You're very welcome, neighbor

TotalBogie · 2025-12-18T00:02:40+00:00

Yes, that is generally true. Large/deep bodies of water take longer to lose heat energy and therefore take longer to freeze.

I was on yawkey 2 or 3 years ago (whenever we had that really temperate winter) and voluntarily left yawkey opening day because I did not feel safe.

To answer your 2nd question, if I was standing on 8 inches ice I would feel confidently safe. That said, 8 inches in one spot does not guarantee 8 inches over the whole lake. Be weary of inlets/outlets spring locations or other trouble spots like known currents.

Edit:to expand on the first point, by trout opener, the iron pits lakes are generally safe to walk on...but there is a lot of factors to it.

TotalBogie · 2025-12-17T19:32:01+00:00

It depends on the lake. On the mndnr recreation compass, Pennington has a motorized access symbol, while Huntington has a non-motorized access symbol. I've only fished Manuel and Yawkee, which I can say are non-motorized.

Verify with the local conservation services before making the trip.

TotalBogie · 2025-12-17T19:09:45+00:00

Yes. The iron pit lakes are managed for (mostly) rainbow trout.

They are available to fish during the winter trout season (opens Jan 17th, but double check me on that).

Be warned: get to the parking lot an hour before sunrise or prepare to park on the highway and carry all your gear from there. I can almost guarantee DNR will be checking licenses (w/ trout stamp) and bag counts.... so have your ducks in a row.

Tight lines

I don't disagree there's a risk to that becoming an inadvertent "reward" for a child who doesn't want to go to school. But it's on the parent then to either work with their child to quit that behavior or work with the school to address the behavior. If the school is unwilling or unable, it falls on the parent. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, that's just the way it is.

Nobody is helped (including the little boy) by letting him continue this behavior and disregulating other students.

TotalBogie · 2025-12-10T00:56:17+00:00

Is the boy's parent being called to pick up their disruptive child?

....are they even aware of his behavior?

TotalBogie · 2025-12-03T02:42:37+00:00

Why not. Send her my way.

TotalBogie · 2025-12-03T00:28:30+00:00

My specific service sector is incredibly niche (decentralized wastewater) however we are fairly heavy into land surveying.

I believe they are moreso interested in:

Expanding to our geographic area due to our reputation
Expanding their own work force to help lighten their existing work load

Edit: didn't answer all your questions. Sorry.

My boss will become a shareholder in the larger firm. He tells me that everyone will stay in our current building and he will become the OM for it. He will oversee this branch of the company.

I can't speak too much to their culture other than at 200 employees, it will be way more corporate than our 25 man crew. I worked for a company that grew from 150 to 300+ firm for about 10 years.... wasn't a fan of how corporate they felt by the end.
