robin/subaru engines are junk i have between 25 and 30 of them in the shop that i either cant get parts for or they are just plain not worth fixing . Briggs and stratton or kohler are much better generator engines . The home line gen sets you...
estate buckshot from cabelas 250 rnd case $150-160
shtf ammo doesnt all have to be hp or name brand , i wouldnt be afraid of my cast lead reloads . I shoot them now in practice and have no problems I am reasonably sure i can use them in bad time...
measure the uncompressed length of the buffer spring . i had similar problems with a colt 9 mm and it had a rifle buffer spring in a carbine . That one could have been a mixup at the factory
The shotgun shouldnt fire till the action is in battery . I have a win model 12 riot gun that operates like your 97 does . It is fun to shoot with the cheapo walmart field loads
I also consolidated calibers . I dont see having a wider range of calibers as a bad thing in times of ammo shortage you have more possibility of finding ammo for a weapon you do have . I keep lots of .22 .223 .308 .30/06 and .45 but i also have a...
I do the standard military 25 meter zero , 400 setting on the rear sight is on at 50 yards on my carbine length guns , 1 click up is on at 50 with a rifle length . Out of 2 of the rifles i shoot the most i cant tell much if any differance at 25...

i second the ruger mk II or mk III I have had both of the pistols you are looking at and resold both the 2 sigs i tried werent very accurate and were jam o matics , i had 3 cracked slides dealing with the p 22's , i now have 2 threaded rugers a...
also if you have a stripped lower you can buy a kit from model 1 sales or delton and just assemble the lower and snap on the upper doesnt get much easier to build a budget ar
My opinon is to build it . Put it together and shoot it for a while if you dont like it you can easily recoup your money on a budget build like your describing
I shot 3 does here behind my house and a doe and a buck at my place in kentucky . plenty of deer around me i just wish i could have got one close enough for my 7 year old son to connect .
Probably not i have multiple cache points setup but thats a whole different discussion . If someone wants what is mine and trys to take it by force they will pay for it . I am merely saying that most people pack entirely too much that they think they...
