    Suppressor wait times

    Final update. Super smooth and fast process. Following the above 11 April: email received from CA indicating CLEO had accepted notification and indicating shipping date of 17 April 16 April: email received indicating order shipped. This is really a "label created email", see below. 18...

    Suppressor wait times

    Update on my prior post, with Capitol Armory related timeline of dates/action. I can and do purchase locally, but Capitol had what I wanted in stock, their prices are generally very competitive, and I wanted to try it to see how it went. This should provide a good idea of their process. So...

    What has actually quit on you in the field?

    Had a Howa 1500 discharge when the safety was taken off, once. Fortunately, the deer was in the scope. Rifle was part of a recall, if I remember correctly, and repaired via LGS. I've shot it several times since then, at the range, and never repeated the issue. Its in the safe still, cant...

    April 8th Eclipse

    We were also directly in the path of the last one (SE Nebraska). Campground reservations were gone well in advance, and some people rented space at their farm/pasture for people to camp at, but only had limited success. We had a party at home and didn't travel, but I don't think is was awful...

    Suppressor wait times

    Threw my hat into the ring for the fast approval times. Ordered a suppressor at Capitol Armory today. Not a prior customer, so will have to go through the hoops to get all set up, including home fingerprints. Nobody around me does the electronic kind. Should provide a decent example of the...

    So what cell phone did you finally buy your teenage daughter?

    We went iphone because its what the family had, daughter was 14. No social media before 17 and any social media is followed/following mom and dad so we see al posts (not messages though) and add life360. We have a screen time rule, but don't have a tracker for it. No phone in her bedroom since...

    Calling all lawn care pros...

    SE Nebraska location for me, same drought conditions I'd follow Snowhunter's advice but wait til the fall. Weed pressure should be less, temps should be cooler for less watering, and you don't have to deal with it over summer trying to keep it alive. Get a seed that had one grass that grows...

    Costco Credit Card Rewards season

    right around $1400 from the card and then an additional $70 from in store purchases (the paper reward). We use it to stock the pantry/store room - paper goods, flour, rice, soap, etc. always some leftover for a few luxuries. Daughter is off to college in the fall, so probably get her a small...

    Interior garage walls

    I like to use corrugated steel (like on a pole shed) over some 1/2 drywall, trimmed out well so I can wash my stuff in the garage in the winter. If i had the funds, Trusscore wall and ceiling panels would be in my garage right now. Maybe with some well placed cabinets for storage.

    Cleaning stainless steel silencer baffles

    I was recommended Breakthrough Clean Suppressor Cleaner form a friend. It works great and doesn't smell up the room when used. Its got a filmy residue, so be prepared for that. Both my suppressors (including a 22lr) come apart, so cleaning was easy with this stuff and a mason jar, nylon...

    What do you do to save on spending $$

    Daughter shows horses, so for me its minimizing the losses. We feed out a couple of pigs over the summer, letting have the "old" garden space and rotate back to in two years after, basically need three garden spaces since hog manure is pretty hot the following year. Free fertilizer and low...

    NU Car rentals

    We recently travelled for a college visit with the kiddo to Charlotte, NC. Did the same as you - booked a car through a third party with NU because it was the cheapest (it was a 2 day rental). After I booked, I did a quick google search and read reviews. Nope, cancelled and booked for $5...

    Best hunting rifle!!!

    Well, i have my wife's late father's "sporterized" 1903 in the safe. open sights. If I'm brave enough to shoot it, I'll give it a go, but you'll have to wait till January for antlerless season. She's 46 and he died before she was born, so I'll have to get it out and inspect it first though.

    Favorite hunting story

    Daughters first whitetail, she was 12. We had practiced with her 243 for several months, and she was getting better and better, but we were practicing at 50 yards (this is Nebraska deer after all. Season, comes and its a super cold morning (NE Rifle is in November). and we had gotten a little...

    Organizing Stand Up Freezer

    I'm jealous of all that fish...and, (in your best Chief Brody voice) you're gonna need another freezer. I'm not sure what the yield on a moose is but its definitely not gonna fit in there. You could always send me a few lbs of fish to make space too. For the current freezer, try to see if...

    Lightweight Supressor cover

    Rifles Only makes "the skinny", which is a bare bones cover with some heat mitigation. Not sure on weight. I have a couple of their HAD covers and like them. https://riflesonly.com/the-skinny-suppressor-cover/

    Hotel stay - Council Bluffs/I-29 or Omaha airport area better ?

    Since you're headed north from the area via I29, the airport or casino areas is fine. West Omaha/LaVista/Lincoln puts you on the other side of AM traffic. While I enjoy one more night in a real bed before sleeping on a pad for a week, if you're camping in WY, you could always get a primitive...

    You receive more than you ordered POLL

    I figure if I was shorted this item, I'm going call and ask when are they gonna ship it (provided receipt doesn't say backordered), so I'm sure going to call and tell them they sent me too much, esp if its a mom and pop/local place.

    What's the craziest thing you've ever used your gear for that had nothing to do with the outdoors?

    Yeti cooler under the front center section of a side by side to fix a loosed track in the snow about a mile or so out on the ice. No way was I walking back for a jack at whatever AM time it was. Best part was owner removed the jack he had to put the cooler in the back.
