What Will Be The Libs Excuse This Time?

Last time they said it was a set up by the Trump team, that he was shot and injured. So, what will they say this time - yes another attempt seems to have been made to kill The Donald (more at the source) - especially in light of the fact the suspected assassin maybe did not fire and was thwarted by a Secret Service agent firing at him. Are they going to explain it as a guy taking his AK47 for a walk or as a guy taking aim through the golf course fence to shoot squirrels or golf balls or the guy thinking he was at the firing range. You know whatever they come up with will be pure balderdash. Just like when they say it is MAGA and Trump trying to destroy "democracy" (actually a constitutional Republic but what do leftists care if they get it wrong). The left is like thousands of assassins hiding in ambush and waiting to strike and the Trump campaign trail like a walk through enemy territory which Trump must tread; yet, Trump carries on and that can only be because he loves the USA.

All the best and vote Trump,

Bitten Again

 The firearms auction bug is a persistent little pest and it bit me again today. Yep, there was another Hessney auction today and as usual I could not resist the auction's alluringly sweet song and the cash was lured out of my pocket like mariners' ships of old to the Sirens rocky shore.

 

So far, the auction will not be over for several hours yet, I have had the high bids on a few lots:  

 

High Standard Model 107 Military Supermatic with two mags and two sets of grips. They told me the pistol is 95% plus. Looks it in the pics.

 

 

 

 

 

A complete five edition set of Death From Afar by Chandler & Chandler plus White Feather by Carlos Hathcock. 

 

 

 

 A USN MK3 Mod. O knife with MK3 Mod O USN scabbard (my son had me bid on that for him).

Some old tin boxes and other junk. I wanted the Schimmelpennick cigar box and the old fashioned can openers. Don't ask why because I do not have an answer but if a cigar aficionado wants the cigar box, I may sell it.

I have a bid pending om two AR-7 15 round magazines which I am 99.9% certain will for my Henry U.S. Survival rifle. I also have three bids on ammo,  all of the collectible or hard to get types. That is all. Already spent too much for one day but so far have kept myself to under 1K and only one firearm which is kind of, sort of almost absolutely my max to spend at this & future firearms auctions. Time will tell and of course but if I hit big in any lottery game, that limit  flies right out the window.

All the best,

Not A Bad Ammo Deal At All

 I just ordered 200 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt 35 REM 200 grain soft point ammo. I used to get this stuff for under $25.00 box maybe even under $20.00 per box but that was several years ago. Lately, in fact for way too long, it has been hard to come by and is very expensive when you find it. For instance, I just checked Ammoseek.com to see what they showed it going for. There was a total of one place selling it at $99.99 per box of 20 rounds plus shipping and I would guess plus tax. That was a little too expensive for my pocket book. So, as I do fairly often, I checked the Remington website (I think now owned by Federal) not expecting to see any for sale but still hopeful. I have not seen it for sale on their site in over a year and have only seen Core-Lokt 35 REM 150 grain pointed soft point available. I have three rifles in 35 REM, two of which - a Marlin 336 and a Remington 141 - are tube fed and thus could be a potential hazard if using pointed ammo, the other is a Remington Model 81 that is box magazine fed and can use the pointed ammo - no problem. 

 

Well, while I am the penultimate pessimist (not quite the ultimate) and knowing that deer hunting rifle season is opening in many states soon, I decided to check Remington again today. I was happy I did so because there it was. They were selling it direct to the consumer for $67.99 plus tax and I think $12.99 shipping. That was quite a bit lower than $99.99 per box but still not low enough; so, I went to ExpertVoice.com of which I have been a member for several years now (if you are not a member I think you should be). Once there, I logged in and brought up Remington Ammunition. Then I looked for the discount code (only can be used once every 3 or 4 months and you need a new code each time), copied it and went back to the Remington site. I ordered 10 boxes for $407.90 plus tax, the total being $449.71 with tax of $41.81 (AR has higher sales tax than does NY). It came with free shipping, shipping would have been $12.00 otherwise. So I got it for $44.97 per box; that is much better than the $99.99 per box (plus shipping and I am guessing tax) as seen on Ammoseek and also much better than the normal retail price of $67.99 from Remington.

Is it too much to pay for this ammo, I think yes it is still way to much, but I wanted it and the price was right as compared as to any other prices for it that I have seen. Granted, I can get Hornady Leverevolution FTX 200 grain 35 REM for about $35.00 plus shipping and tax but I have a good deal of that and wanted some additional Remington ammo. By the way, when I have tried to sell some 35 REM in the past (shame on me) the Remington Core-Lokt always sells, the Hornady is a tough sale at best (even though inherently more accurate). I guess folks don't like the fact that the Hornady has plastic tips.

 

Anyway, ExpertVoice has something like 900 brands affiliated with it and they offer discounts or discount codes for many of them. If you sign up and want discounts, you need to do training for each brand as far as I am aware. That usually consists of watching videos or viewing advertising pages, then taking multiple choice tests about the products. May sound tedious but it is well worth the savings as I see it.

 

One last thing, I just found out Remington is offering a 20% rebate on ammo through sometime in October. I kind of, sort of, almost definitely doubt they will honor the rebate on my purchase since I already got it at a 40% discount but I will try and see what happens as another 20% off would be marvelous.

 

All the best,

It's Been Awhile Since My Last Post...

 ...and I suspect having a fungal infection inside my guts is at least partly the cause of my slacking off. Plus I have just been diagnosed with diabetes;however, since I was eating much more healthy foods in the month for which I" as tested, I kind of, sort of, almost definitely believe that the fungal infection may have screwed up those results although my doc tells me that is impossible. I have been told several times before, by doctors, that something as impossible only to have them proven wrong each and every time;so, I am hopeful I am not actually diabetic. I did get some good news in there. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy in the last two weeks and was told no polyps and no infection but they did not test for the fungus. Go figure. There was a red irritated patch inside my stomach on which they said they performed biopsies but everything was negative but again they did not test it for the fungus. Doctors can be idiots.

 

I have taken enough anti-fungal meds by now to kill a rhino or destroy my liver. Yet, I still have the infection as far as my visits to the throne would indicate. I have another weeks or ten days worth to take and hopefully will be better by then, This is one of those things that is very difficult to defeat. I hate the idea of being eaten alive by a fungus so I sure hope it works.

 

 

Too bad it is not psilocybin growing in my gut, at least that way I could enjoy the trip.

All the best,
