An avalanche is essentially liquid in nature while it's happening. As the sliding snow comes to a halt, the weight of the uphill snow compressing the lower areas causes it to pack into a solid state not far removed from concrete. That's usually what kills in an avalanche; the compression...
The Mini-14 serial number prefix references date of manufacture, with 180 denoting one of the first four years of manufacture (1974-77). With Ruger, this is not set in stone and they clearly speak to that on their website, but I think it holds pretty true in this case.

In following the events in Kiev, I've noticed some things. Namely, how the self-destruction of an oligarch played out before us in real time, courtesy of social media, and how the people worked together to bring about his fall.
Democide killed more people in the 20th century than all the wars...
It was reported a few hours ago that Ukrainian Border Patrol/Customs prevented his boarding a plane for Russia earlier today: Yanukovych tried to leave: Ukraine Speaker | SBS News
Also, he'll probably be facing murder charges in addition to the corruption charges. Those snipers didn't just...
I've gotten all spun up with the need for a Krinkov over the last few weeks and started researching the Zastava M92 pistols. Seems they're about as close to a real Krink as anything that's ever hit the US market. Namely, the hinged top cover with rear sight, bolt hold-open selector, top...
You may have good luck with the Aimpoint T1 Micro on a low base mount. I've got one on my 300 Blackout AR carbine on the high mount and it's tiny, but incredibly effective. You can probably find something suitable here and the low mount will get you almost down to the iron-sight plane on the...
Thought I was gonna have to draw on a guy in a laundromat shortly after moving to Old Louisville. Fairly certain he could see in my eyes that I had options and was willing to use them, because I ultimately didn't have to. Animals can sense the difference between weak and strong, predator and...
One of my best friends is from Pittsburgh and knows about all there is to know about dealing with snow. He says we rednecks could drive a 4WD truck up a hill backward through three feet of mud and not spill a drop of beer. Throw a half inch of snow on top though, and we're totally screwed.
:lmfao:
Here's how I would deal with that bomb: get the young man a 20ga slug barrel with either rifle sights or a scope mount and a few boxes of slugs. If he can hold his shots on target, he can harvest a deer just fine with his Maverick. Unless I'm terribly mistaken, Mossberg 500 barrels will also...
This is a government killing its people because they demand basic freedoms and rights stolen from them by the government in 2010. I think it should be required viewing for anyone who wishes to depend upon the state for their well being. This is the harvest your submission to state control can be...
I think the farthest distance my Blackout will ever be used in a critical defense capacity is about 30 yards, which is the length of my house. "Will it hold rounds on a man-sized target at 30 yards?" was my criteria. Got my barrel on sale from SOTA Arms for right around $100 and have been...
#1: Lethal threat? Meet lethal response.
#2: I would probably laugh til I cried, knowing what was going to happen at the first stop sign/light. Wiping away the tears and holstering my sidearm, I would start walking in the direction they drove away. My truck will be sitting abandoned at the...
Hey Alan, are you using a Weaver or isocoles stance? I ask because this may be a sign of a minor muscular or skeletal impediment, since it makes no difference which target you shoot first. Switching stances may reveal this to be the case. :twocents:
