    AR15 Reflex Sight

    Just received a new Reflex sight for my AR15. It does exactly what I envisioned it would do. It appears to be well made, had good reviews and it was very affordable. I'm sure that there are many of these types that have more features and cost a lot more money but this gives me the quick and...

    Playing an MP4 file?

    A buddy emailed me an MP4 file. When I try to open it I get a message that there is no program associated with that file type. Windows Media Player is supposed to play MP4 files and I have Windows Media Player on my XP PC. But never the twain do they meet up. Any suggestions?

    Oil pressure light in late model cars?

    If you experience low oil pressure, in this case, due to insufficient oil, does the computer automatically kill the motor? A neighbor lady just blew out all of her oil due to a loose and improper oil filter. She reports that just about as quick as she saw the light, the motor shut off. It is...

    Against all advice I......

    .....just ordered 1000 rds of steel case, lacquered .223. I couldn't pass up the price of $208 for the 1000 rds. I'll give a report on their performance. I got them from Sportsman's Guide and there were a ton of reviews that spoke well of them. The other bonus is that if you are a 'club' member...

    Windows 10 downgrade to Windows 7?

    Sister in Law unknowingly succumbed to Microsoft's attempts to get her to download Win 10 on her Win 7 Toshiba Laptop. IMHO, it is a POS. The sound didn't work, the keyboard sensitivity was poor and it it is slow and sluggish. So many of the changes that I witnessed were without a doubt...

    BeenVerified?

    Anyone use this website? Is it for real, not any danger? This morning I got a text message, with a download, from a number that I do not recognize. I did not want to download the attachment without knowing its source. I googled the number and this website offers to tell me who it belongs to...

    AR15 question?

    What ever happened to the Vietnam era method of piggy backing 30 rd magazines by taping them together in opposite directions? In the day, of course, they used duct tape to do that. I would have thought that there would be some formal couplers made to do that, but there does not seem to be any...

    Online backup service?

    Who's using what? I have had Idrive for over a year. When you sign up a computer it pre-populates just about everything to back up. Yesterday I set about to restore the contents of one computer to a new one. It was going at it for over 24 hours and still only restored 50%. The laptop kept...

    Looking to upgrade my ear protection. There is a dizzying array of noise canceling ear muffs along with a dizzying array of prices. Has anyone waded all through this before and come away with a durable, effective, affordable set of earmuffs?

    I've finally...

    ....joined the ranks/got on board.. I bought my first AR-15. It is a no name budget model with a collapsible stock and a 16" bbl. By all accounts it is a pretty decent unit at only $535.00 shipped. Now I need to start stockpiling ammo so I can enjoy my new toy out on the range in a safe manner.

    Calling all CPA's-Some 1099B questions.

    I have some questions about how Brokerage Houses fill out and submit them to the IRS. I won't be specific here until I get some responses. What the Brokerage house sends you for a 1099B at years end is nothing like the actual form that gets filed with the IRS.

    Plywood substitute?

    A number of years ago I had a 4' x 7' (with 2' high sides) utility trailer made. The sides frames are made of angle iron and I filled them in with 3/4" painted plywood. The trailer sits outside constantly and the plywood is all rotting now. I want to rip it all out, have the trailer bead blasted...

    Anyone using Java 8 on Windows XP?

    The Java ad-ons on my PC were way out of date and FireFox would not even let me 'enable' it. So I uninstalled it and want to download the latest version that Java says may or may not work with XP.

    Web Page display?

    This occurs on my XP PC on Drudge. Currently at the top of the middle column is a box that contains a Drudge Poll on the *******can Debate. It allows you to vote or to view the results. Once you vote all you can do is view. The problem is, on my PC, that box is blank. I can see nothing and...
