Last weekend, my friend and I went to Reed's in Sunnyvale for the express purpose of renting, and rent we did.

.500 Magnum! Yee-haw!

We rented a S&W Model 500 with a 4" barrel, and bought a box of 20 rounds of Hornady 350gr. The bill at the end of the session came out to around $120... yowch.

One day... one day, I'll have enough money to buy one of these (in 8-3/8"). One day.

Yes, one day you will. If you really want too. I have never shot one of those before. I shot a Ruger 480 and 50 AE fairly recently. In fact I shot an aquaintance 50 AE Desert Eagle and he also has an AR15 type Carbine that is chambered for 50 AE. That was a lot of fun shooting. Shot a 10 MM Glock and 10 MM EA Witness pistols recently too. I like the 10 MM. It is underated in my book. It is a little harder to control than 40 S&W but it is a lot of fun to shoot. It just feels........ powerful. I guess that sounds dumb but that is how it feels to me. I think I may buy one soon. I want a Glock and want to buy a 6 inch barrel to go in it. That is the way the one I shot the other day was set up and it shot good. Come to think of it, that Witness shot pretty good too. It was the polymer version. It is a bit less expensive than the Glock, I may decide to get that instead. I do like the Witness platform. It is basically a larger calibre CZ 75. The CZ 75 is a nice pistol as well. But I don't think it comes in 10 MM. I had one in 9MM in the past. Like a lot of other weapons I have owned, I sold it. Now, I wish I hadn't. ]]> index.php?topic=8&pid=79 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:39:19 -0400 Fatlight Fatlight 79 What have you fired?

There's a lot more you can do to Mags than to Minimags, mostly because there's more room. Unfortunately, the biggest tool in my "workshop" (a.k.a. our backyard) is an abrasive chop saw from Harbor Freight, so I can't do any really nice machining like will does (not to mention the skill and experience required :tongue: ).

I'll guess that the outer ones are powdercoats, and the inner ones are some exotic wood plus... Brass? Standard copper Minimags?

The outside ones are hot pink powdercoat. Next in are Koa on a copper mini-mag, the center is Mango on a copper mini. I get the wood from a woodworker in Hawaii. :popcorn:

man and i thought once upon a time that i was a major collector of mini mags hahahahah :crazy: man all i have are like 8-to-10 and they are all used and tattered :whistle: even modded a few but i am so not a collector of them :lolsign: it ain't funny and ... hi to the board and co. nice site

I also had problems all day with FTP for the site, I have a feeling it's related to that. Regardless, I'm stuck with updates I can't load to FN.

Well, warn him that homeade beer is very fattening. For many years you could actually make better beer on your stove than you could buy at the store. At least here in Alabama. Now, California would have been a different story. People there have always had beer from everywhere. I started brewing because I had to go to Atlanta (about 100 miles away) to find anything more interesting than Whitbread Ale. That is not a snipe at Whitbread either. I like Whitbread Ale, I like the liqiud yeast too. Now you can't even find Whitbread around here but the selection is much better than when I learned to Brew. I started in about 1988 and stopped making it when I had to start taking meds for arthritis in 2004. Don't need to mix the meds with alcohol. It can make the stomache bleed. I saw an episode of Alton Brown on the food channel the other day and he was making a batch of beer that was very similar to the first batch I ever made. I learned from two books initially and then read a few more over the years. I highly recommend The Complete joy of homebrewing by Charlie Papazian and Brewing quality beers by Byron Burch. These are older books but the info is still great for beginners and I continued to refer to them the whole time I was brewing. Both books are still easy to find. Do what the instructions say and you will make great beer every time. Can't tell you much about making candles though. They are like any other hobby, you can get as involved as you want too. I know a guy that makes them and then carves them into beautiful shapes. I know a couple of sisters that make their own line of scented candles and sell them in their local store. I have bought a couple from all of them. ]]> index.php?topic=14&pid=66 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:35:23 -0500 Fatlight Fatlight 66 Candles are not easy
My best friend is attending chef school (California Culinary Academy), and he was very excited to learn about beer brewing. I think he has a 5-gallon bucket of something fermenting behind his couch. :popcorn: ]]> index.php?topic=14&pid=65 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 20:06:02 -0500 TigerhawkT3 TigerhawkT3 65
