I use a variation of shake and bake. I fill an old fry daddy basket with bullets. I put the whole thing in my coating oven for a few minutes to heat the bullets up. You want the bullets hot enough that the way are a little uncomfortable to hold. Then I dump the bullets into a plastic bucket...
For the 125 I paid for it, its a pretty good scratcher. It's not a direct clone. It doesn't have a locking bezel, the "button" contains the helium valve. The casing looks very good. The band is cheap. It doesn't have the full cover crown guard. I've never had hands on a Ploprof, I can't really...
My wife very briefly worked in the Texas prison system as a nurse. My advice is to tell your daughter to get out fast. Odds are that the ex will never be moved and no action will be taken to keep them apart. The last straw, which only took two weeks, for my wife was the morning she went into the...
Vintage Remington, or maybe a Tikka, bolt action chambered in 243 Win. It would handle everything from long range varminting to, with the right bullets, black bear. Really the only North American game out of its capacity would be brown and polar bear. A bolt action isn’t ideal for home defense...
My understanding is that surface tension of the oil prevents it from leaking out. My hyperbar also just has a push down crown, it’s never leaked. So far I’ve seen no leakage on the prototype.
I think the heat from the pressure cooker would kill the watch. There are testers made to test dive watches, I don’t have one. Thought one of the serious watch guys on the forum might have one.
Couple weeks ago, I posted a photo of a hyperbar system dive watch. These watches feature a case that is filled with low viscosity oil. Theoretically, this renders the watches completely waterproof, as the pressure inside the case will equalize with the outside water pressure. While doing some...
I view firearms as a repository of value rather than an investment. It’s the same difference as a savings account versus mutual funds. Firearms will never be valueless, and in most cases will appreciate slowly over time. As with a savings account, the funds remain easily accessible with...
After this one I’ll stop boring everyone, I swear. This was the first nice watch I bought for myself after college. I’ve dive with this one a few times. It went into the drawer because the band broke and I could never find a replacement long enough to wear comfortably. Another shout out to...
This one is probably my nicest, at least biggest ticket, watch. It was an online purchase. The story was that it was NOS from a jewelry store that had closed down. Don’t know if there is any truth to the story, a jeweler looked it over and said everything looked legit. Solid titanium, 1000m...
Another one saved from the back of the drawer. My wife bought this for me for Christmas years ago, it was non-working at the time. I tossed it in the drawer and forgot about it. Shout out to Ivan’s Jewelry in Pryor for the repair.
