Sweet!

I’m sure I can find agenda-driven nonsense spewed by Cooper, Hannity, Ingraham, Maddow or Blitzer throughout the years since it’s all relevant to this thread now.

We wouldn’t want to single out the arrogant, right-leaning, bow tie-wearing, slack-jawed moron that has a father that married the Swanson’s heiress, since he had everything to do with making that relationship happen.
 
Today the closest Bass Pro Shops to me had their first re-opening day since the shut down several weeks ago here in Cali. Honestly if this is the sign of things to come and how things will be as I gathered by this small sample should this virus start to reinfect the populous, we are gonna be in trouble.

Everyone had some form of face and mouth cover but in the ammo section, there was anything but 6 feet distance despite the floors being marked by circle spots 6 feet or so apart. Face masks kept coming off faces, people touching everything, hand to hand transactions (not to stake with touching!). No good!

ETA: But I did stock up on more ammo. I had some on preorder and then they let me pick up so more, although I was not a total a**hat grabbing all that I could. No shell shots to speak of. People who are buying shottys will just have to content themselves with bird shots or slugs. Almost nothin g in Buckshots of any number! I did manage to get a pack of 5 00-Buck 3 1/2" shells :eek: due to a canceled order. My Benelli will handle that size but I am not so sure about me :D
 
Casinostocks Casinostocks my h.d. shotgun is the only weapon I have ever had to figure out what ammunition works best to cycle the action. Not sure if this is the application, but if you have designs on this as a home defense weapon, please make sure it will eat what you feed it.

I had an issue that my pump action would not cycle, where the base rim of the shell would hang up on the head of a rivet inside the action. It would prevent the slide from fully traveling and it would not eject the spent shell.

It was resolved with a little homespun gunsmithing, and finally running another 25 rounds of heavy weight ammo through it to prove it out.

Point being, rattle some teeth to be satisfied that's all that happens when it might count later.

One of the things I really like about the Benelli M4. After break-in with a couple hundred high brass loads, it eats everything from light to heavy.

Federal Flite Control #1 (Yeah, rarer than hen's teeth. Wonder what I could sell my small stash for?), with a Black Magic Magnum at the end, and more BMMs in the side saddle (I figure if a few rounds of #1 buck don't do the job, barrier penetration might be desirable).
 
put up around 55' of 6' cedar fence over the past two days. Am cooked and going to chill tomorrow. Ah, age. I used to be able to work like that 6 days a week :(
I must say this avoidance of the viral chain has been fantastic for our little patch of earth. And the earth in general, actually

I have an Benelli M1 Super 90, awesome shotgun. I haven’t found an ammo yet, wether cheap or expensive, that it won’t cycle 100% reliably. That Benelli Action is the epitome of reliability!
I thought about picking up the M4 but haven’t had one in hand and that stock looked like it would be brutal on the check weld. How is it in actual use?

Can’t the virus spread through farts? I read that it can be detected by anal swabs so I guess I assumed farts would spread it.

Unless you're at the Highland Games around Scotsman in 'true Scottish attire', you should be pretty safe.

Pants + underwear would keep the particles in check. The odor you detect is mostly gas, not poop particles.
 
These punk Drs. outta Cali who posted their results and findings on YT about the transmission rate of COVID-19 and its so called overblown lethalness, IMO are not even fit or qualified to treat my dog's pet gopher-rat which resides in our backyard. I rather take that pest rodent to a proper vet!

I seen that and could only watch about five minutes of it. Their math was a joke!! Even if you thought Corona was all fake news, what they added up was just stupid math.
Time to pull a couple licenses!
