re: Ruger American stock swap

Posted by turkish on 5/9/24 at 2:55 pm
An AR style safety (or Sig Cross, Q Fix) would definitely be MORE accessible. It’s right by your thumb that wraps around the lower receiver. Appreciably so? I don’t know. I’d like to handle one myself. I saw a turkey hunting video where a guy spooked a turkey taking his hand off his aftermarket p...

Tang safety with pistol grip chassis seems awkward. Can you reach the safety with hand on the grip?...

That’s what I have, too. It’s a hot rod. ...

I had the same need a few years ago. Same response from shops. If you have time, it’s not terrible to do yourself. I had found a local guy that said he’d do it in his yard, but I ended up doing it myself. ...

Is it too late for MSM in the BR area?

Posted by turkish on 5/7/24 at 9:56 am
Anybody still spraying MSM? Is it too hot? I’ve got some VBW popping up and would like to get one more dose of MSM before going to Celsius. ...

re: Has anyone ever used a ram pump?

Posted by turkish on 5/7/24 at 9:38 am
To me, if it’s pulled from the creek and doesn’t make it to the pond, it’s wasted. Maybe semantics. The ones I’ve seen have a water valve at the pump itself. Of all the ones I’ve seen, I’ve yet to see one start on its own. Always takes a person to exercise the check valves manually a few times to...

They reprime on their own? I thought they had to be started manually. Also, all the demos I’ve seen waste water horribly if it’s not being consumed at the end of the line. ...
Thanks for that. What are you giving up by not using a controller? That’s one area of this subject I haven’t been able to digest. ...
Thanks. So, assuming my gateway can work in pass-thru mode, I’ll need a router, the controller, switch, and APs, is that right? I’ve struggled a little to understand Ubiquiti’s product lineup. Is the shopping list the same if I go that direction?...

Simple home networking for beginner

I have Ethernet run to some remote spots that I want to add access points and would like to start making small steps to a more comprehensive internet connectivity throughout the house, backyard, and detached structures (wired already). My internet is ATTs 5G with their “All-Fi” CGW450 gateway. I’...
One the “pros”or “upsides” mentioned about the project seems to be that you can just pick the pavers up and move them. Having to move pavers in wholesale fashion is a sign that the project was a failure to begin with. ...
Do you not think pulling up pavers just to move them isn’t, itself, a major PITA? I can’t imagine that that likely outcome is a feather in the cap of a project. ...
