I used have the laptop on the dining table in the villa before planned epidemic. Then the local dod people (hint: they have big boats) forced all contractors onto the camp in late april. Well my laptop was a neutered used one without wifi so that kept me off of here. Then the site was down. I picked...

I've been the voice in the wilderness preaching for the last couple of years of stocking up on brass and components and yet here we are again at the same point as 2013-2016. Powder Valley had seven bags of Win brass a couple of days ago. War and poverty is coming. Be ready because we are only a spar...

They gave us a timer set at 30 minutes so we waited in the lobby with the others who had been shot, Oh I mean vaccinated.

You can thank the French for the M1 Garand and the M14.

I seem to recall a wize sage advocating the last year or so about buying a case of primers and not a brick. About buying ten or twenty bags of .30-40 brass. About buying a thousand bullets and not a box of fifty or a hundred. When fat times come back just as it did in 2018 start building up. Nothing...
