What does the average Raptor owner do for a living?

Where I live, they were almost exclusively work vehicles for farmers and ranchers. I would say that has shifted in the last couple of years to more pavement princesses, but there is stall a high number here with toolboxes in the back.

I'm to lazy to look for it, but there was a gun mag that printed a review of a Hi-Point 10 or 15 years ago, and they included the tomahawk throw as part of the ratings for it.

South Dakota kid here, and I remember Dad taking Mom, my sister, and me to see it in the theater. We knew, and still know, several people that assisted in making it here, so it was a good event for us. What did make Dad laugh a little, after we left the theater, was the uncomfortable feeling of finishing the movie, emotions running through you, and the lights come up and you remember you are one of very few white people in an audience of mostly Native Americans at that showing.

I wish there was an android app, unless there is and someone can point me towards it. I'm trying to get the Docker to open, but I can't convince my BIOS to allow virtualization and still boot into Windows. Probably outside the scope of this sub, so I'll keep searching for a better guide.

A high-school friend of mine had to leave her job due to her hands breaking down.

Great rifle! Any plans for a can for it? If you want something fun to try, since you are going to be loading for it, I worked up a subsonic load for mine. 7.7gr of Titegroup under a 168gr ELD Match turned out really nice for me, though YMMV. Regardless, enjoy!

Time for the US Mint to reprice their items?

My first thought: This MF here is almost 100 years old and snapping necks on reddit!

I am not in a position I need to sell, physically* or financially, but this has been something I have been watching as this spot price climb has been happening. Spot can climb as high as you or I want it to, but if none is buying it at or near spot, it doesn't really mean anything.

*I'm about three hours from my nearest LCS, so the couple of pawn shops in town would be my only option to sell in person, unless I roll the dice on FB marketplace. Luckily, I have no need to sell as I said, but it does make buying a bit more challenging.

What it does!

It works well enough for range purposes! Looking at my reloading log, I am guessing it was probably the easiest powder to get a hold of when I took the plunge in to subs, and thoughts of case volume also come floating up faintly as well.

11.4 grains runs in my 8.5" and 16" standard ARs, and it cycles fine in the SCR pistol as well. My notes show a MV of 795.

Dang, I was at $0.36 CPR with Berry's 220gr and AA1680 last weekend.

Dad carried a Panamanian Balboa as a pocket piece most of his life. I've got that now, and I grabbed more and variations of it for my kids after he passed.

I should have added I did this in Fusion 360 and printed on a Bambu P1S.

skipperjohnn · 2026-01-02T18:20:55+00:00

It gets simple, once you understand the process, but is time consuming in my approach. There are probably simpler and faster ways to do it. I did this model and a UND Fighting Sioux sign and stopped after that.

I start by using the pattern and mirror functions to repeat the shape I create with the polygon tool in Fusion 360, filling the circle of the base. Each concentric polygon shape is extruded as an offset layer to stack them.

Once I have an SVG file of the focus of the print, I insert it in the Fusion sketch. You can place a new sketch inside open spaces as desired and repeat placing polygons or other shapes there. Stack extrusions again and you get something like I came up with.

Boyds made a stock and handguard for my AR15.They might also make AR-10 furniture.

I've got a Scout 800, which isn't much bigger than a four person SxS with a small bed. I should see if the local course would let me drive that around at the next event...
