Good morning PWs, anyone got that hot coffee next to them, BRB with mine

You shouldn't be here. Check the rules...50 quality posts and you only have 8. This will probably get deleted. Don't get mad, it's the way it goes.

Ghost ring!!!!!!!!

Thats what Im thinking as well...problem is I'll have to get my reciever drilled for the rear sight. the front sight is $100+ by itself so once its all said in done Ill have like $200 just in the sights..I could get a decent red dot for that. I should look around and see if anyone makes a less expensive sight.
the nite site bead is around $50...or I can go tru-glo for $35

So... this is an old thread, but it sure is a goodie!

If I may, I'd like to call special attention to post #77, from our very own BE. There are some real gems in there besides that one, though.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm very close to taking all my wireless networking components out to the Country and blasting away at them with my SKS. I couldn't keep connected most yesterday at all. I finally fiddled with some settings this afternoon and now, it's kinda working. Barely.

I gotta get the router and DSL box moved down here. This wireless crap is NOT for me.

After years of using various wireless routers of the "el cheapo" variety (you know.. $20.. $30... $50-60... Netgear, Linksys, D-Link... those kinds), I finally went out and got me a nice Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station. Best decision I ever made when it came to wireless routers. Used to always need to reboot those cheap routers because they'd freeze up or just drop my connection, but the AirPort Extreme.. just.. works. Bonus: they are also 802.11n. And I can actually broadcast two distinct wireless networks simultaneously (so I can have my own be password protected and another be open for guests). Expensive, yes, but in my book, it was definitely worth it because of all the frustration it rid me.

ETA - linkylink: Apple - AirPort Extreme - Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi base station

ETA2 - you can save some money by buying from the refurb section... that's actually what I did. But they don't always have any in stock, so you may have to watch it for a while.

G or N?

Both. My main system is N and the wife's laptop is G. It was suppose to be N, but Dell sent the wrong part. Just found out last night. Only had the laptop 2 months.

Well, unfortunately, I'm never going to have that kinda dough to shell out anytime soon. Would be nice though. I just want to get this crap to work. Got the DLink Router, and a DLink Extreme PCIe card. With extended antenna and high gain antenna. Get a good signal, rate is running at 300mbs, but it takes 2 tries to load a page and takes 5 minutes to load it. Even my wife is having issues, but not as bad.

It's just one of those days I guess. I can usually fix a computer of someone else, but GDIT, I can't fix my own. How's that work? Oh well. Another week and I won't be messing with wireless anymore so it's all good.

 

[lovemachine]

Yeah Yeah Yeah. Go cry me a river. I'm betting its the user, and not the equipment.

King James is going to need a huge game tonight if they want to make it out of this series alive.

Why's that? Gonna just break down and get a reeaalllllyyy long CAT5?

You think I'm just being funny, but I've seen it done!



If you do end up just taking your wifi crap out back and blasting it with the SKS, be sure to invite us over to watch/help! I don't think I've shot my SKS since the last SKS shoot, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind the exercise.


On a related note... I'm sooooo close to finishing up my degree. I'm thinking about finding some place I can take my textbooks and shoot the pages out of em! Only problem is that my normal range down here in the Terrible Hole explicitly has a rule that says "No textbooks".

That bad huh?

Damn, a lot of frustrated College grads huh!?

Shooting book is not a good thing, they should be saved so if and when you have kids you can show them and say "You think you've got it bad, this is what I had when I was in school"
