I don't think I'll make this one, but if things change I'll reply again...

what about mixing walnut and corncob? would that result in "best of both worlds" or "failure to work as well as either"?

I would also be interested in learning -- I'm just starting to get into it, so I know I've got a lot to learn. (so far all I've acquired is a tumbler, media, and a book - so looking for basic intro and where to start before I buy anything more)

don't know if I'd call it a favorite or not, but... AxMan (Moore Lake location on 65) has an Aluminum bodied LED light (I think 8 LEDs and 3AAA batteries) for $8. I picked one up for the fish (you know, for the halibut...). not sure how it compares to other lights, but it seems to throw a pretty goo...

I was going to offer up a WWB 100ct and a couple 50s of MagTech for a pack, but then I realized I've still got an unopened battle pack and a can of linked stuff in addition to the opened battle pack I've shot some out of... now, if I had gotten started on a FAL build like I've been tempted we'd have...

I should have offered to rent mine out while you were all waiting! at least it's made me feel better about spending the extra $s to have it in hand... I've also added a MagLuLa for both AK and AR to my stash of toys recently too. Haven't tried out the AR version yet since I had stuff shipped to Mom'...

I had a great spot to learn to shoot Dad's bolt action .22 -- Grandpa was caretaker at a 4H camp that had an old dump. plenty of targets available! the best one was an old upright piano!!! it was fun trying to mix it up and twang a whole chord instead of single strings...

the couple times I've been to this Hard Rock, the food and service wasn't exactly stellar... but I haven't been there lately. Kieran's would be a hike for me - but I could use the exercise! Loon Cafe could be another option, but not sure how well they can set up for larger group size. What's the oth...

You posted this about the time I was ordering some .45! figured it was an easy and fun way to get a start on a stockpile of .45 brass for when I get motivated enough to acquire reloading equipment and knowledge! ( I've already picked up a tumbler, jug of media, and a manual - now I just have to both...

I was going to suggest the Local (but since it's just across the street for me, I didn't want to push too hard for it and be accused of being too lazy to walk far! ;) ) Rock Bottom was another thought I had... too many places downtown just don't have enough space available combined with "reason...

changed my plans to not go north, so will try to make it for breakfast...

too bad some of us have to WORK for a living...

(OK, I'm hoping to leave work early and head over there around 3:00 or so, but not sure if it will happen or not... )

I guess I need to do a count and find out how many people I'm covering for! I'm guessing we help skew the reuslts! Has anybody seen a breakdown of US gun owners by numbers of guns owned?

I opted for a service grade and a couple cans of ammo... Now the waiting begins! I'll let you know what it looks/shoots like once it shows up (please allow 60 - 120 days...) I should have caved in several years back when they had nicer ones for about what service are now...

must be down the block from the one started by Nixon, Clinton and Kennedy - Trickem, Dickem, Dunkem...
