Gun Thread: Night Before Christmas Edition!
Time to dust off the Santa pic!
Merry Christmas to All Y'all!!
From Weasel Family to you and your'n, Merry Christmas.
NORAD Tracks Santa
Cops 'n Stuff
Guns and cops and cars don't often mix, at least not very well. Here are some tips from Mas Ayoob on how not to make matters worse when stopped by the fuzz while carrying. I happen to think he is spot-on with this advice. You've been stopped and the cop doesn't need your attitude. Be deliberate, respectful and polite and take your lumps if you get a ticket. The roadside is not the place to test out your legal theories.

New video from the She Equips Herself gal! This week's video is Day 1 of the Twelve Days of Carry
Well, one cigar left from the year's supply in the variety pack Mrs D. snatched for me from Santa last Christmas. I think I have written about these before and if so, nothing has changed that a year in the humidor hasn't made better. Never underestimate the ability of the A. Fuente Hemmingway Short Story cigar to provide you with 20 minutes of smoking pleasure. Yes, it is funny looking and yes it is a small cigar. (Pictured here next to one of those airline bottles.) But it is packed with flavor and a wonderful aroma. The immediate hit is cinnamon, and pepper and they provide the background for a very smooth tobacco finish. This is the perfect cigar for when you don't have an hour to kick back, or if you are down to your last shot of whiskey to drink while smoking. Easy to light, easy draw, and an even ash throughout. One of my "Go To' favorites. I recommend it for old hands and newcomers to cigars. Enjoy!Excellent, Diogenes! Thank you! I really like these too!

Cigarbid.com A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

At age 65, I've noticed that it's not a decline in muscle memory or pistol control that erodes my results at the range.
It's diminishing visual acuity which is the culprit.
Before I $pend Dollar$ on eyeball doctors, I think I'm going to try a rather wide array of "cheaters", all pretty much in the +1.75 zone, but see which maker's "grind" tends to give me the best results.
There's also the huge refractive differences between simple, clear plastic, Polycarbonate, Lexan and the newer, more exotic (and expensive) specialty optical plastics. I'll pass on glass, due to weight and fragility.
Then, various coating technologies come into play.
Might end up with a $200 set of "cheaters", but it's still gonna be le$$ than the eyeball doc.
Reminds me, of when I quit a job over a similar issue. Told the boss: "I just can't see working here anymore.", and left.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HORDE!

I will put in a little plug for Bobro engineering. I mentioned one of my scope mounts on my long rifle had a complete shearing of the threaded stems on one side. Couldn't figure out if it happened during the move or if I somehow screwed up the torque on the FAT wrench.
Pretty sure I didn't because the wrench was still set to the same setting as when I last mounted that scope and it was to spec. But still, all four stems sheared in half.
Anyway, they agreed to replace the mount if I just covered labor and shipping, which was a good deal since it's a hundred and fifty buck mount.
Thankfully the new design doesn't use press fit threaded stems. It's tapped and uses machine screws instead.
Kudos for a decent company and check out their mounts if you need one.

Jim, I recently had Blepharoplasty (Gesundheit!) on both eyes and it had made a huge difference in my sight picture.
iirc - $200 out of pocket. The rest was covered by Medicare as it was medically necessary. Just something to check out.

Just looked at the prices. Holy shit balls! 39 bucks for a pound of Swiss BP? I know it's the best black powder out there but sheesh. Makes me very happy I bought in bulk several years ago.
For those new to the hobby, Schuetzen and Grafs Classic is probably the same powder and will do a fine job. Supposedly Goex and their Olde Eynsford brand will be back in the near future. At least the ads for it have started.

Probably won't get to the range over the holidays. They tend to be very busy with folks trying out their new toys and bringing their house guests along.
Instead I've been doing a lot of reading about reloading. I want to duplicate the load my 9mm pistols prefer in commercial ammo: a 147 grain bullet at circa 1,000 FPS. I'll be using X-Treme or Berry's plated bullets which I treat as cast, not jacketed. Also, I want to load more accurate 38 specials. I have guns capable of superb accuracy such as a K-38 and a first generation Contender but the 'historic' 148 grain wadcutter load isn't cutting it. (It could well be me.) So I'm checking on powders and charges to tweak the loads. It's a fun part of the hobby.

No. I happen to have 1k of #10. Bought them over the summer. Bird dogged all of the black powder websites daily until they came into stock. Then bought dome.

I gotta try that shooting while griping the pistol with only the thumb and trigger finger drill. Of course, I'll use the 1911 in 10mm with the hot loads. What could possibly go wrong?

Mr. Weasel-Dude and others; greetings and felicitations at this festive season. I am looking to buy ammo, commercially, to get the most reasonable best guess accuracy. It is highly unlikely that I will be shooting at anything over 400 yards.
Weapons:
Savage 110 standard x 2; one in .243 right handed, Mrs. Bonecrusher's gun, the other is a lefty, mine, in .270; and a Thompson Encore rifle bbl, stock, in .25-06.
I have neither the time, inclination, skill level, nor $$ to sort this out from scratch.
Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

44 ... "What good is powder if you can't get percussion caps?"
This is another reason I like flintlocks (besides they are just so cool). If I were a hunter and wanted a smoothbore, I would look for a flintlock fowling piece.
Actually, there are percussion caps out there but finding them requires some luck. If possible, try to buy a bulk supply. The cost will hurt but not as much as not being able to shoot.
You are right about the old Remington plant. Sell the damn thing and start up the percussion caps and primers again. There is a market.

You won't need a particularly heavy bullet to get to 400. I'd start with the FGMM in the lower end of available bullet weight options.

Giving a Firearm as a Gift?
How about a thread on giving your friend/loved one a clean NICS for Christmas? How toavoid fix those nasty pitfalls that will keep you forever gunless?
Also, got Liberal Tears for me and my son for Christmas. It's a gun lube. And it smells like bacon. (They must be artificially flavored, 'cause ain't no liberal that smells like bacon.)
And one of those .22 conversion kits for his AR. Which I found out after it arrived that he's having trouble with said AR. So Christmas gift might be fixing his gun.
But people are sick, having to work, etc. It's kind of an ugly Christmas. But it's still Christmas!
I have to run off to Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.

Kids in that situation the Kringle family relies on our friend the Ingram Mac-10 with Sionics suppressor, because high volume gunfire is sometimes a necessity but bothering the neighbors never is.

Evening, folken! Miss Linda and I just had our Christmas Eve dinner, baked shrimp with brown rice-based macaroni. Yes, it was good. She is an accomplished cook, though she keeps referring to her concoctions as "gruel."
Anyway! 'Tis raining and in the mid-'60s here. We plan to go to the Christmas Eve mass at her church about 3/4 of a mile away. If the rain doesn't slacken, though, I don't know if we can do it.
Regarding cigars: I bought a tin of Romeo y Julieta cigarillos (the blue tin) earlier this year, but have not had the nerve to light one up. I figure I should do it outdoors; pipe tobacco usually smells pretty good indoors, and mild to boot, but I'm not sure about cigarillos. Anybody had these? Are they strong?

59 ... "Mainly black powder shotgun loads. Solid brass shells. Hand loading. Very slow going."
Those brass shells are wonderful and reloadable but aren't always available and are expensive. There are videos on reloading regular plastic shells with BP. They might be good only once but once fired shells are very cheap and the various wads are inexpensive or can be made at home. But as you said, it's a slow process although it's like using an old Lee Precision whack-a-mole 12 or 20 gauge kit. Figure about a minute per shell start to finish once you get the feel for it. Good enough for some hunting loads or the occasional round of trap or skeet.

They turn each shell from billet brass. But those DO take 209 primers. They also make a bunch of hard to find shells.

I have a question for Whig and anyone else who has taken a 303 British apart.
I'm trying to remove the butt stock... I finally got a screwdriver big enough for the job. My problem now is that it won't budge. If I could I'd spray some lubricant down there, but I can't so I won't.
Any suggestions on getting that screw to budge? I really don't want to keep trying and strip it.
Thanks all

Don't talk to the police? This should be your default position, especially if you feel like you have to explain yourself or defend yourself. If the police ask, you can tell them what you are Right Here and Right Now. Beyond that, say that you are invoking your right to remain silent. Exceptions? Sure, but use caution.

For the pipe smokers here and others of refinement: if you get a chance at the Cornell and Diehl Anthology 2023 limited run, buy some. It is a superb blend of several kinds of red Virginia tobaccos, including some aged Georgia red leaf. It is rich and slightly sweet (natural , not cased) and satisfying. I splurged on five tins. It should age well. It's the kind of tobacco to save for special moments. I wish it could be offered in bulk.

How about shoots exactly where it's pointed? Better than the shooter could hope to.
The weapon's been doing that for every shooter who ever picked it up. My Dad gifted me with it when he could no longer use it accurately. The weapon is a 1911A1. It simply does it's assigned job with no fanfare or issues. Yearly I run it over to a very competent gunsmith for inspection and/or repair as required. Thus far function has been flawless. That HAS to be, this is my carry piece.

Pipe tobacco: I've tried only two C & D blends. First was Gentleman Caller, which has deer tongue in it (no, it's an herb; no deer were harmed during the production of this blend). It sounded good in description but did nothing for me. The other was their Christmas 2021 blend Alpine Lodge, which came to me as a freebie when I bought a Peterson pipe that December. Sort of chocolate-ish and strong. I mixed it with other, milder tobaccos and made the cake last ten months. That one I wish they'd bring back.

Are you going to be looking for TARGET ammo, or HUNTING ammo?
You gotta be in the Right Bullet Zone as to your options, there.
Sierra does make an alternate to the Match King bullet, it's called the Game King. The literature says it's made to the same standards, and should produce very nearly the same exterior ballistics. But, the bullet is made to hold together and properly "mushroom" as it transits Mr. Deer.
Trick is, then, finding a manufacturer who might produce Match Grade Ammo, while using the Game King (or other super-premium) hunting bullets.

Maybe. But the tone of the gag has that sour, downbeat note you'd expect from somebody like Dangerfield. Sales was always an upbeat and physical comedy sort of guy, I think.

As for trying new pipe tobaccos, I've bought and smoked some St. Bruno, which is moderately strong for me and which I've held down to ten or twelve minutes' puffing at one time. Tomorrow I will try my Xmas gift to myself, some Amphora Full Aroma, in a vintage Fader's paneled apple-shape pipe. Again, as I do with any new leaf, I'll limit the session until I know how it affects me.
JTB, did you want to know about Peterson's Early Morning Pipe English blend? I cracked a tin this morning. Quite nice and mild, and goes well with coffee.

#114 Jim in Galveston: Punching holes in paper is nifty for practice, but that gets expensive. I much prefer using that which I am going to depend upon. From what I have gathered, bullet weight - other things being constant - is the deciding factor. Barrel harmonics and other such things not withstanding.

101 ... Good evening, Wolfus.
The Anthology 2023 doesn't have perique, it's all Virginia leaf. It has plenty of flavor and by my standards I consider it medium strength. I like a little perique in many blends, especially if it is aged, but too much overpowers the rest of the blend.

You're right! My personal jury is still out on red Virginias, though. Peterson's Sherlock Holmes blend has that, and that leaf does not sit well with me. Maybe it's too strong and I need to mix it with a milder Virginia.

Christmas Eve, and I had to turn the A/C on; the air in here was getting too warm and damp. Revolting.
To the tune of "Winter Wonderland":
"Later on, we'll perspire --
'Is that A/C? Turn it higher!'
We drive and we grump
O'er potholes and bumps,
Sweating in a sticky swampy land!"

If I'm reading you correctly, you're wanting the best possible accuracy, but with the filling of freezer, as your primary purpose. In which case, I'd advise you to avoid any "match" ammo, completely. Dive into how Hunting bullets are made, vs. Match (target) bullets.
Hunting bullets are made with a great emphasis on bonding, (mechanically, chemically or both) the lead core to the copper jacket. The jacket is often "skived", creating pre-existing failure points, so that the jacket will peel backwards on impact, creating a "mushroom" shape. This will transmit the most energy to the game, and do the most physical damage, in hopes of a Quick Kill.
Conversely, target bullets, though made with great precision and care, simply ignore any post-impact physics in their design and construction. Once they've pierced the paper, they've completed their job.

#114, 120: Bullet weight at the constant velocity is the deciding factor. The degree of expansion is really important, however, a 400 yard ice pick, if well placed, will kill just as dead. Ideally, I would like lots of expansion and really accurate, predictable, and linear in its profile.

Wolfus and other pipe smokers.
Try C and D's Autumn Evening blend. It is available in tins or in bulk. I get a pound at a time. It is VERY flavorful but the strength is mild. It is my favorite C and D offering in bulk.
I haven't tried Early Morning Pipe for many years but it has a great reputation. I should pick up a tin to try it again.
I love Amphora tobaccos, especially the full aroma and original styles. I find it is best smoked slowly. Seems to let more of the taste come through without any harshness. I should try some in a churchwarden.

Slow is my plan. I am figuring to work out, eat breakfast while I dry some of the leaf on a saucer, and then give the Amphora a try.
The stuff used to be available in pouches, along with Sir Walter Raleigh, Half & Half, Sail, and Prince Albert, at your local drugstore or even grocery. Not any more. Walmart has those pipe tobacco cigars and everything else in the tobacco line, it seems, except pipe supplies.

A New Year soon awaits. No matter what all else happens "out there", I'm certain that "in here" shall remain of the best, of the brightest and of the finest of friends, in both pixel and life.
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men. Amen.

SiD.
You get that Highway Patrolman, and I'll send you a set of Pachymer Gripper Pro grips, to adorn that N frame goodness.
Best hand-to-grip revolver interface I've ever held and fired. And I've held and fired... how do I say... LOTS of different revolvers.
Let me know when you've tracked down and taken your 28-2 prey. I'll arrange shipping, and they'll be on their way.

He is wrong about Michigan and the Duty to Inform...
Handing the office your weapons permit is NOT sufficient.
The first thing you need to say to the officer in Michigan during an OFFICIAL interaction like a traffic stop is:
"I am legally required to inform you that I have a Concealed Weapons Permit and that I have weapon(s) concealed about person and/or vehicle."
Michigan court decisions REQUIRE that something substantially similar to this be spoken to the officer within 30-60 seconds of the interaction starting...

180: In TX it is highly recommended. The cops will see you have an LTC anyway once they run your license. Cops are prima donnas at best and incredibly evil assholes with an insatiable lust for power at worst, so it’s best to just given them the LTC at a traffic stop in TX.
