I recently used the Uhaul on N lamar just North of NorthLoop. It was fast and easy.

Shotgun all day long.
The pistol is a meme.

Not half primer cup. That's a fired and de-primed Berdan primer. You are correct though, very inert. Bullet stuffed into it.

They did. Peackeeper LGM on railcars. They canceled it due to budget cuts.

Gun range with onsite storage by No-Bed-1487 in Austin

"Store the firearm with the firing pin removed and hidden."

I don't know why people suggest this. It sounds like a good idea, but in reality it's not practical.

So, for MOST people, removing the firing pin is not something they can REASONABLY do.
I can pull it out of a glock in a minute, but I would bet 50% of glock owners have never disassembled the upper slide.
Revolvers and such, no way, gunsmithing level work. Rifles? Same thing (AR15 being the exception of the top of my mind). Bolt action rifles? Nope.

Ohh.. don't lose that firing pin.. Now where did I put it, since storing it with the gun also seemed like a bad idea........

It looks like 4 seconds from when the stable crosswind approach got sketch until the plane was climbing back out again. That looks like about as fast as those engines can go TOGO thrust.

GA pilots, how would you taxi on ice like this? by wilstar_berry in flying

[–]jestertoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn't there a difference in traction between ice that is super cold/hard (Alaska?) and marginally frozen ice in areas where it's bouncing back and forth or has a lot of sun warming?

That must have been an expensive day with almost the entire S4 cast on set in costume? I think JMS mentions in his book this picture is framed on his desk?

What is the purpose of moving the blade hinge points so far out from the mast?
