      Smell-Tech Pee .32

      Post results after you shoot it. If it's cycling when sling shotted it may be fine, you can't baby them. A few boxes of ammo ran through it will probably help smooth everything out too. I just know I have those issues with my gen 1 when the springs start to weaken, hard to tell by hand cycling...

      Smell-Tech Pee .32

      The gen2 came out in 2005/06 ish so that spring is at least 10 years old at this point, no way it's still at factory strength.

      Smell-Tech Pee .32

      Since it's a gen 1 I'd recommend replacing the recoil spring. gunsprings.com has them, I'd go with the factory 9lb. I've got a gen 1 .380 I bought new back when they first came out. It's well broken in and the only time I had any issues was when the recoil spring got weak which gave me the same...

      Glock 43 OR S&W M&P Shield

      I have a g43 and like it. There's +1 and +2 floorplates available for the mags if capacity is a concern. The +1s dont really add any length to the mags either.

      Wal-Mart Clearance

      I actually think it's all walmarts. Want to say I read somewhere they are getting out of anything "tactical" and this spreads over in to some of the paintball/airsoft stuff as well. I saw a lot of empty spots in the shooting section and some clearance scopes at the one here in CO.

      What is a good holster for G43 CC?

      You looking for IWB OWB or pocket? I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-HAWK-INC-40PP01-S-Inside-the-Pocket/dp/B004T18LEI/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t in a size 4 that fits well. Think I'm going to try one of those trigger guard lanyard things to see how they work out for pocket carry. Also...

      Lee Single Stage Press COMMENTS SUGGESTIONS

      I have 2 lee presses the turret and the pro 1000. I'm happy with both. I use the turret for small batches. I removed the stem that spins the turret and progress by hand. I like it since I can operate like a single stage but don't have to swap dies with every step. With multiple calibers I just...

      Welcome to Obamanet 2.0

      Have you done a job search lately? I think even McDonalds requires you to apply online these days. That said there is the library, state job centers typicaly have PCs people can use (never been in on in LA to confirm, but both MS and CO have them). There's always wifi at every other coffee shop...

      Income Tax Return Plans?

      Returns? I've never in my life gotten money from the government. Not paying quarterly anymore but still somehow owe $8Kish this year on top of the almost $25K in federal/SS/Medicaid with-holdings. But at least I'm getting the interest and dividends off that money until October.

      For you Offshsore Fishing guys.......

      They're not terribly expensive, I have a Fast Find 220 I picked up for around $200 a few years ago. Search for PLB rather than epirb and you'll find the more personal ones geared towards hikers and the like, which can be a pretty big price difference. Also watch out, some of those like the...

      Dovetail Slot boogered up....questions on how to fix.

      I'll second this but also keep in mind the ring is probably more of a "place holder" if you will, and chances are doesn't need to be very tight. The majority of the support to keep the magazine in place should come from the forearm and where it connects to the receiver.

      shave supplies

      I hear ya, I work a 7 and 7 and only shave when I'm working so that 100 pack will probably last me 10 years. You have to try a feather blade in a slant, it probably the best combo out there.

      shave supplies

      Have you checked the badger and blade forums? I haven't bought any blades in the last 4-5 years but was able to find them there for around $0.25 a blade when buying more than 100.
