Good enough... Like using Ohm's Law when working thru a problem in Electricity/Electronics, I choose to use this stuff when planning a build to know what I am building to so for me,, it is very important. I definitely can see where folks like yourself or @Flyinfool can resist/second guess the math behind all this stuff though as my regard for such is more based on results I have achieved by following such theory's.. I guess, if you end up where you want to go without regard for such it's all good...

I hear ya Bill,, and may very well end up doing such. I would far prefer having the lightness of simple, 100 round cases plastic cases all filled and ready to run my loader thru when out in the field BUT,, you DEFINITELY have a good plan their brother!! THANKS! Here is what I have coming for my 1911: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-BERRYS-PLASTIC-AMMO-BOX-SMOKE-COLOR-45-acp-40-cal-10mm-100-rd/261714005413?

A simple YES or NO still awaits on your behalf brother..

Thought I forgot didnt cha @VanRiver?? Don't know if you have named your Honda yet or not but after hours/days/weeks/months of mulling it over (bike naming is an art form and, as in all forms of Art,, good things take time - best excuse I could come up with Riv ) I think my pea brain has the suggestion I would like to make.. Dont know about you but one of the things in life that I stepped up to has been staying Red Cross CPR certified.. Way I figure it,, by doing so,, maybe someone else was doing it to and could someday save someones life.. I was always impressed with "Resusi Anny" of yesteryear and how she, as an inanimate object, taught me the delicate art of resusitation by allowing me to breathe life into her lifeless carcass... You and your relentless way of doing exactly that with abused, lifeless, left over bikes speaks somewhat of this art form to me.. As a result, I think you should name that gorgeous, back to life Honda = "ANNY" as a constant reminder of this fact.. Besides Riv,, AZZI and ANNY kind of go nicely together :301: Love ya brother! Puc

I sold all my loading stuff including the little things like ammo trays. I now buy a LOT of bulk ammo,, you guys know,, the kind of stuff that comes in bags instead of boxes.. In stepping up the game of shootin for fun and using speed loaders, it has come to my attention that I could really use trays that the ammo will sit neatly inline and facing PRIMER END UP, not the typical primer end down trays like I remember from days long gone by. Any of you lop eared varmints know of a decent tray brand that stores primer end up? I have searched EBay and Gunbroker and found Berryman's (?) to be looking like what I need but none of the pics I see actually show rounds facing down.. Any thoughts? Just grabbed a ProMag Drum Feed for my AR 308,, those trays are gonna become very important when Tip and the AR15 and I with the AR10 start trimming trees in the swamp this spring!! Cant let er out ratty tat tat me ya know!! Thank in advance ya'll! Puc

Thanks Sly!! Only thing is this MK1 is a different shooter all together.. When Ruger decided to get away from the mag release located on the bottom of my MK1 and do the upgrade they really muckied the water. I been using a light switch cover that I modified (opened up the area where the switch protrudes thru the cover so it would slide over the magazine and still catch the little thumb button used to pull the internal spring down so the ammo slides in) to assist in loading. I havent toyed with the speed loader I got from Mcfaden for the AR conversion to see if there is somehow I can get it to work on my MK1 but I am planning to.. Until then I will probably just stick to the old Light Switch routine. I also have a Remington Mohawk Nylon 77 rifle that fits into the same realm as the MK1. It's a GREAT shooter too, but ya cant get hi capacity mags for it either and the mags are pricey like the MK1 = 20 bucks up. Kinda sad cause both are well built shooters but,, probably well past their era.. I LOVE shooting em both though and both shoot very accurately.. THere I go,,, gettin again..Sorry bout that...Just my passionate personality shining thru again

Wayyyyy good Patch BUT,, in all that,,, still no answer to the attached question = yes or no? I know Fool did not go by the guide lines set out by The Code and took liberity to explain his "Yes or No" answers to your "Yes or No" questioning but I would appreciate sticking with the guidelines of fairness that the code sets forth, a simple Yes,,, or a No would be fine.

Ok,, back home (had to run in and get the transfer on my 556 AR15's brother, a BRAND NEW AR-10 7.62 NATO (308).. WOW IS IT GORGEOUS!! Anyway,,, LOVED THE VID BROTHER!! I Subscribed and left this comment: """Hi Tom! Puc here from VR!! EXCELLENT vid my friend!! I really enjoyed your take on safety and WOWZY,, NICE SHOOTERS!! You ever get up here to West Mich, come packin and we will get some shooting in!! LOTS and LOTS of great shootin here abouts!! LOVE MY 45's too! Almost as cheap to shoot as a 9 and enough more pop to make it fun!! I like the tunability of the 1911's for shootin everything from +P good stuff all the way to cheap Blazers (been shootin 19 cent a round, 200 grain flat noses - work awesome after dropping the recoil spring to the 12 pounder)! Glad you got the shooter fixed, tinkering with em is have the fun IMHO. Anyway,,, keep up the good work and thanks for posting. Sincerely, Puc, your very first Subscriber!""" WELL DONE TUFFY,,, VERY WELL DONE!! On the Sig,, I have very little experience with the Sigs. I did have a really close friend (was best man in his wedding) who was a Chief of Police a number of years ago (he has since moved on to running an Elk Ranch) who's force all carried Sigs. I used to shoot with him and those guys and can tell ya,, tain NUTTIN wrong with a Sig IMHO,, NICE PIECE.. On the other hand though,, thru some experience with Wildcattin (what we called loadin stuff that wasnt main stream) I learned that for me,, I like to stay in the main stream.. A quick check on AmmoSeek.com (you ever check them out? Between them and the Gun.Deals search engine = got me covered really well) shows that the 357 Sig has become main stream. Looks like 27 cents a round is an everyday price for ammo which pretty much matches a 357 Mag in pricing (not the cheap Steel - brass for brass if ya get my drift). Knowing that, and looking at the almost perfect ballistics match between the two,,, yea,,, I could a Sig 357 being a good shooter.. This all assuming we are talking about that caliber being in an actual Sig Saur sidearm? You find it on GB? If you wanna give me some info I will do a little digging out there and see what kind of numbers turn up just to compare value.. You ever deal with ProMag magazines? Just ordered 2 15 round mags for my 1911 that I cant wait to try in it.. I am really curious to see what kind of results I get in recovery speed having the xtra weight hanging below the grips on the old gal.. The thing is an AMAZING shooter (NM barrel and bushing, adjustable trigger) but the bounce can slow down recovery. Porting was mentioned.. I have had a couple shooters done including a Smith 29 and Magna Port did/does AMAZING work - quality second to none. My Dad also had his 629 (also a 44 mag like my 6" 29 only in Stainless) done too.. The porting worked GREAT but I am wondering if I may get some similar results with the added 15 rounder.. Its a science experiment - and a FUN ONE!! God blessed America when our founding fathers penned that 2nd Amendment I tell ya = keeping those who would dare to do the tyranny thing on their toes and having fun showing em what that is all about in the process = who could ask for more!!! You a Marine? THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BROTHER:usa::usa:!! May I suggest that you request your Honor Badge here on VR so others can know you served? If you have problems figuring out how to request it just ask and I would be honored/glad to assist! To all reading this,, Have You :bighug:Your Gun Today? Puc

,,, ya know,, not that I am not as thankful as all get out (cause I am) and completely amazed at how far they have come in Cancer research (cause I am) but it's still pretty barbaric when ya think about it.. Basically I think they identify the bad cell areas, then add a few thou (more like 500 thou) of good material and then cut around the edges.. In my case it involved a bunch of ureter tube, some bladder, some glands and of course the whole prostate before they got the whole tumor . I never was known much for having an large bladder in the first place (44 oz pop and I would pretty much refill the cup it came out of in less than an hour) but when they got done pulling the ureter back in after slicing off the bad section (thats the tube that goes from the bladder out thru the pee pee for those who might be wondering) and reattaching what remained of it to what remained of my bladder I was left with,,, well,, we wont say,,, on the outside and what seems like a 6 oz bladder.. Pretty crazy when ya think about it.. This stuff was purdy nasty Jack, it was doubling in size every :draming:90 days and by the time they finally found it , the tumor was the size of my fist and it was surgery NOW!! It scared me cause I had just gone thru 1 year of monitoring a small tumor that was cancerous in my prostrate that my daughter came to town for the counsel on and took slides from the U of M back to the Davis team in Sac that she works with to look at. That first tumor had not changed at all but this second one on the exterior of the Prostate that they found a year later was sucking the life right out of me. I kept telling them that I literally could feel life leaving thru my feet - that didnt stop till they removed all the bad stuff. Everytime I stood up I literally could feel life leaving me thru my feet,,, I am a strange one I guess. Tip and I were 20 days away from the birth of our first biological Grandson when we got the news and I BEGGED the Cancer Dr. to hold off so I could see my Grandson. His response was - OH HECK (different word then HECK) NO!!! He said if we wait 30 days you will go from a 65% chance of winning to 40%!! The tumor was already taking all my food for its own use, I was down to 173 pounds from 230 and my face looked like a death camp survivor with eyes all sunk into their sockets.. It all added up to me agreeing to get er done. Been 2 years now (just celebrated the little guy in the pics 2nd B-Day at the end of January) and life seems to be going along great.. I still have these teeth to do, another hand with Dupentrens to do and some hernia repair work to do (around the surgery area - those muscles didnt heal as fast as I thought they would) BUT, after spending a year in the body cast for my broken back, getting my brain fluid leak fixed, getting the new tuner installed (doing AWESOME - heart rate was down in the mid 20's = now no lower than 60 since the install) and then this Cancer thing,, that other stuff seems almost irrelevant Just flat out GREAT to be alive I tell ya!!! Heyy,, not to change the subject but guess what... My AR10 (7.62 NATO/308) should be here by Saturday!!! Just ordered a 50 Round drum for it tonight as well as 500 Rds of Tula 65 grain.. I will post some pics when it gets here before and aft the Drum. I REALLY like the M4 (flat back) design of my 556 AR15 and went that route with this one too. That M4 gives ya lots more Pictanny on top to work with. Working on getting things all sewn up here and stuff all sighted in before my daughter and he future hubby get here for there wedding in June. My oldest daughter and her family are also coming from Sac and all of those boys are shooters,, well,,, at least California shooters... I am planning on doing a Bacholer party for those two lop eared California shooter varmints like they wont forget (missed the first daughters wedding cause I was down with cancer, didnt get to do a wing ding for that Son-In-Law so making it up NOW!!).. Gonna take them and the boys here and hit the State Land with full artillery!! CANT WAIT,, SHOULD BE A BLAST - well,, at least a bang!!
