Ammo & Reloading / Re: 12 gage short shells??

Run some in that fancy siaga and lets us know how it goes….. :popcorn:
That one has a particular gas system. I would venture a guess that those shells would not run in that gun.

Tom Cole who built it gave me a list of the ammo that would run, that he test-fired in my gun.

It's a short list.

I understand, I have two highly modified guns myself and they’re whet you might calling picky……

Looks like Nate has a link that covers everything for you.
I think maybe you are too much worried about weight of things to help manage all the stuff you and wife need to “rough it”.

Speaking of siaga, I have a couple of those and not sure they would be my go to for a shotgun for self defense. Although, a drum mag full of slugs and an old stump sure is a lot of fun.

I just find the pump guns easier to manipulate (swapping or inserting loads during training) and I’m familiar enough with the 870 version to run them blind folded from years of hunting with them. A couple cheap upgrades and you can extend the round capacity and hold additional loads such as slugs on the side of them opposite the ejection port.

I’d disagree Chief, you can’t come here by first committing a crime. I’ve know and have known too many that came here the correct way and jumped thru all the hurdles. It’s not fair to them. No matter how good the others are it’s not right.

Possibly, as it is now 25 states are siding with Texas. Ten of those states and more are going to be forthcoming are sending NG units it has been stated. Trump stated on his x feed today that ten or more state militias were en route in some capacity.

Purchased this shortly after all the Colorado shop moving trips finished in Oct of last year. Finally, today I removed a lot of tools I carried on those trips. Installed this under the seat gun box. Plan is an 870 & AR15 in there.

The executive branch is guilty of treason in regards to this border. Musk owns X, roll the cameras. Stand their ground and don’t shoot unless fired upon. Let us not forget Cliven Bundy in NV a few years back.

Well, in regards to Finland you’d think Russia would recall WWII and think twice…..

We’re weak and it’s an election year. The powers that be are bought and paid for by the CCP. They may call in a favor to keep their senile puppet in power a tad longer.

My  granddaughter just drove to South Carolina from Indiana with a car trailer in tow. Roads were bad but she made it. Her husband tied with a frozen sheet of snow and ice from the top of a big rig, and needed a trailer to get the car back home.

Faith Discussion / Re: Prayer Request thread
« on: January 23, 2024, 10:32:18 PM »
Ok, I have a very good friend from Colorado. His initials are JW, he’s been a marketing account vp for a lot of years. About a year and a half ago he was bought out from his role in a merger. Shortly there after his wife had breast cancer. He had her quit her job in the mortgage industry to concentrate on getting better. In addition he did not look for work, instead he took care of her and helped his son move cross country during all of that. He’s been shouldering alot recently.

Fast forward to this last summer and she is better after a double m and a couple follow up surgeries. At one time he was a Deacon in his Church, he’s kinda lost his way a bit spiritually. Him and I talk several times a week. He really needs to land a role and get back to work. In addition he needs to get back on the straight and narrow. We talk about faith a lot, he’s been beat up a bit and knows what he needs to do.

Anyhow, if you guys could add him to your prayers. Lift him up I’d appreciate it.

No to heims spend some money with summit machine w d get good rebuildable joints. Parallel 4 link? I as you should research that as I’m more familiar with triangulated. More vertical separation the better between the links. Half the length of oem leaf spring sounds short. Rest sounds reasonable, maybe 40/60 on up / down travel.

SAS, yes!

Hard to tell from the pic, but I think you are right as my cross member for the titan bolts onto the lip under the cab.

Yes, if he’s this deep the logical next better step is an sas


Charles, find an online 4 link calculator. Wide Open Design or Branik for the links, mock it up with pvc pipe. You can figure it out, I’ve seen your handiwork.

Their already boxed back to the bed, doing just the rear should be easy. 4 link rear, gonna wheel it?
Negative sir, only boxed to the firewall and a little where each of the crossmembers are for the bed.  Zoom in on the picture.

Nope, no wheeling.  Just upgrading old technology as I don’t ever want to get rid of my non emissions truck.

Well, unless that bad influence Shawn convinces me to SAS it with a SD Axle…..

I bought a Yeswelder pro55 that is supposed to be non HF start, should work with my Arcdroid, about to test.

Dang brand names are so crazy now!

I think that’s the one I got for my table also.
It cut 1/4” like butter.
Time will tell if it was 200 wasted bucks or good enough for me.

Shawn, this looks a lot like the ND’s garage unit I’m building.
It’s actually how I was thinking of modding it to have both ends of the x axis supported.
They clearly copied it to some degree…well there’s really only so many options to build it also.

ND’s? Got a link I’m not familiar?

My number one rule about life I preach to my kids (beyond normal things like follow gods word) is “everyone is a moron until they prove otherwise” so the people who continue to vote for that guy after 40+ years in government even if not morons in most aspects of life are choosing a moronic path by voting for him. My 2 cents & im pretty sure my kids are gunna engrave that dad saying in my tombstone some day as it’s been implied that is their plan.

More wood splitting and stacking. Storage shed is half full for next winters fuel. Although, I’ve not used much of this winters fuel as of yet. We’ve only had 4” of snow this winter and temps have been in 30’s and 40’s daily it seems.

I’m not sure what happened to 2023 frankly. For us it flew by, most years do it seems. I’m just gunna put my head down and keep pushing forward. The better half and I do that best in fact. What else can you do? Giving up isn’t an option and like most around here it’s not our first rodeo. We will keep preparing to help ourselves and others when the need arises.
