Weaponized America: Sturm, Ruger Backlog Doubles; Gun Production, Shipments Surge
Whether it is due to the recent governmental attempt to enforce assorted gun controlling measures in the aftermath of the Newtown, CT shooting, or, merely driven by the same catalyst that saw a surge in gun sales four years ago, namely the presidential election, one thing is certain: America is weaponizing itself at an unheard of pace, with both Sturm, Ruger shipments and units produced surpassing 500,000 each in one quarter for the first time in history.
Shipments:
Units Produced:
Shipped and Produced - over 1 million in one quarter for the first time ever:
* * *
But the biggest shock is the backlog of guns on order (orders which RGR could not satisfy in the current quarter).
At over 2 million for the first time in history, a 40% increase from the prior quarter, and nearly a 100% from a year ago, when it comes to getting guns, American just like Cypriots in need of cash, have just one option: get in line.
If we didn't know better, we would say that either RGR has somehow become a $0.99 app for the latest and greatest cool, faddy cell phone, whatever that may be, or, alternatively, America is preparing for war.

Good, but do not leave the mags loaded for more than a month at a time or you will weaken the magazine springs and they will take a "set" and begin to fail
You need to take physics class again. Springs are worn by loading and unloading. Storing them loaded has no effect on the spring. That is a myth.
A lot of the classes call them "28 round mags". You can believe it or not.
You're correct that loading and unloading a spring will degrade it faster than a constant load, but any loaded spring will degrade over a time. That's one of the reasons you should lift a car and put in on blocks when storing it for a long time.
I would love to know what Mag Pul was manufacturing each day.
Just leave one round out and it should be OK. Depends on the mag though.
That's a myth
FWIW, I agree with you.
In knightowl's defense, I believe you are all wrong. From a physical perspective, if you keep a spring loaded it will wear out. I don't know where you get your information from. I have four sets of magazines labeled spring, summer, fall, and winter. And rotate them seasonally.
I keep my lazer super ion packs charged all year and mags on my car. I think they have labeled.
Unfortunately, too many people get their information from the internet, or its paper equivalent, as opposed to experience. There is an intellectual (with scientific backing) argument that a spring under constant and designed tension won't degrade, but there are a lot of prerequisite "ifs" built into that argument. Whereas, IF one has made a replacement magazine spring from raw steel (or any spring)- this becomes apparent.
Buying QUALITY magazines, keeping DIRT, WATER, & CORROSIVES out of the magazines, and not OVERLOADING the magazines has very practical benefits (trying to cram that 31st round into a 30 round magazine, even by accident has serious consequences over time), just as rushing to dinner and throwing that dirty rifle back in the gun safe after a trip into the field on a wet muddy day of firing corrosive ammunition has very negative effects, and not just on spring life.
Cycling magazines once a month is probably a bit much, but then so is twice a year for smoke detector batteries- but a schedule represents discipline and is better then "whenever" "whatever" or "however" - so to each his own.
@cult - That picture gave me a stumpy! Nice collection sir.
Side effect of the ammo shortage is that a friend of my cousins is about to finish a police academy but he can't find enough ammo to do his firearms testing. No ammo no graduation.
Eh, they weren't going to hire more public servants, anyways.
Good.
Funny you say that. How come we don't get any reports on production and backorders from ammo manufacturers?
They should definitely do a report on that...
One ammo maker (Bishop, a small outfit in CA) says demand is through the roof, the only brass they can get is pricey (starline), they are scrounging for bullets but have stock, and propellant is hard to find, but they have stock. They are working 3 shifts to try and meet demand, but can't. She said there's no word from the gov on making it scarce, just way more demand than her outfit can provide.
I'm fat - I'm a gunsmith and do my own reloading. If you care, you should get a dillon, say an RL-550b, some supplies, and get with it. Sooner or later you'd have to anyway, so why not start now, or better, a few years ago, when buying 10k primers and 8 lb powder jugs in quantity was cheap and easy?
You'd be an idiot to depend on something so easily shut down...Oh, that's right, you don't grow your own food either, right? Or mine your own gold, or make your own bio fuel. But some things rate a little higher...just in some opinions of course.
My wife gives me shit if I store black cat firecrackers in the house, so powder is definitely out. I'm down to my home defense ammo and a few tins of Greek ammo for my garand. Something has got to give.
Black cats are full of explosives. As DCFusion said, reloading uses propellant. (Who knows; maybe she'll buy it!)
You can not use the powder from firecrackers as a propellant in firearms. It will detonate. It's not even close to the same thing as smokeless powder.
Tell her crock pot and pressure cooker is more dangerous. (sarc)
she seems afraid of those too.
Buy a heavy duty gun safe and store it in that. Show her how secure and safe it is and no more dangerous then the full tank of gas sitting in your garage. If she stills says no and gives you grief replace wife with one found at the local gun range.
I have a knack for finding cheap ammo at the gunshows. If there's a deal on ammo, in any quantity, I'll find it and spring on it.
Not the last gun show I was at. I wanted to yell at every vendor that was raping everyone with the ammo prices. I walked every isle and left empty handed.
I found 10 boxes of 22lr, from three different vendors, for a total price of $21. Ya' just gotta look closely. I also found 7.62X25 for $15/70 rds. I should have bought it all.
Anonymouse - Of course, thanks to DHS you can't find any ammo....
That's okay. Neither can the state police. Ran into a State Trooper carrying ammo in a open box. I held the door for him. When I saw what he was carrying I told him, "Oh, you managed to find some ammo? Where?". He told me that he had to travel to four different gun shops just to get the little he had. He didn't have much in the box. Maybe 1000 rounds of 9MM at most.
1000 rounds is quite a bit actually, unless that was for the whole department. A case of 1000 is pretty hefty.
I started stocking up 2 years ago and am pretty well set, but I picked up another 1000 rounds of 9mm couple months ago at a gun show. It was the very last case, at double the usual price. The gun show opened at 9:00 am on the opening first day and I carted off the very last case of 9mm at 10:00 am.
Get what you can when you can.
I have been watching backpage.com in the Phoenix area closely on ammo sales from flippers. The weekend before last we had our big monthly gun show Crossroads of the West at the Phoenix fairgrounds where they always go. Come Sunday and following week I saw a huge increase of ammo for sale by flippers who most likely went to the gun show and bought a bunch to resell. This week the ammo supply is back down significantly.
Perhaps if they weren't hiring third-rate crisis actors, America would be buying it.
True, but that lady in the wheelchair had a good special effects makeup artist.
Lady? Now we're really confused.

Ah, yes. The message we get from her performance is this: My lefty granddaughter told me I was going to participate in a drill to help her generation move forward. The country has gone to hell.
cw ur an asshole 2 make a comment like that
Well there may or may not have been crisis actors in Boston, but you seriously don't believe what you hear on CNN do you?
The chart for "units lost in boating accidents" must be even more impressive...
Or as an alternative put an ad out for the weapons you own in a publication that allows them and don't sell, if questioned of course you got rid of them because you decided that you love Big Brother after all.
Progressive proposals to eliminate borders and allow unlimited immigration (with promises of food stamps, free schools, medicaid,section 8 housing) with no work or skills requirments may encourage some Americans to buy arms. Many immigrants bring the worse kind of background that destoryed their home country. CA is a test model of a State following open immigration and there are plans to bring it to your city and state. 10 to 20 million new voters in the Democratic/progressive party will ensure implementation of the progressive agenda as a one party corrupt union run system, just like CA.
I saw most of your points (tempo). California is a joke of a state! California is bankrupt, and has very little chance of recovering in our lifetimes. I was born and raised in California, and I can assure that most [native Californians] are disgusted with what is happeneing to the state.. I have mentioned on several occasions that I have partially expatriated to Australia.
Keep up the good work!
How is Australia better??? That is one fucked up country.
Short distances to food sources, and the people already hate the government rather than like in the US where half the country or more worships the ground the government walks on.
Obama has created a boom for gun mfgr's. Typical reaction to a Marxist if you ask me.
We aren't usually engaged in the practice of giving advice to sitting Presidents but here goes: Barry, you should keep flying over flyover country.
@ tempo
Democratic/progressive party
they're outright communists, stop sugar coating what they are.
Bumper Snicker: (Picture of Obama's face) "Does This Ass Make My Truck Look Big?"
+1 tempo. I wish people could get as emotionally involved in the immigration debate as they do with gun control. There is a nexus between the two issues; these new voters will guarantee the passage of extreme gun control measures in years to come.
If Amnesty passes - they will get gun control.
www.numbersusa.com to send free faxes and get alerts. Amnesty can be killed. They backed down on exempting themselves from obamaCare. Washington DC is so evil.
UR right Freddie.
I'm fondling a shotgun as I read.
I don't much care for shotguns, but it's the best thing to have at arms length while you sleep. Make sure you know how to bash someone's brain with one without them flipping it out of your hands.
You bash somebody's brains out with a Louisville Slugger.
You cut somebody in half with a shotgun.
double post
That is all I have is a shotgun. A .410 at that, but I have slugs and they do some damage to targets for sure. anywhoo beats having nothing. As an aside, it really does well in whacking someone upside the head with it, had to do that once.
To be fair though, Ruger has come out with a lot of hot new products in the past couple of years, which explains some of the surge. Every manufacturer is booming but Ruger is probably growing faster than a company with a boring product line like Remington.
if you call the 5 millionth $2500 AR-15 variation a "hot product" you are correct. how many times can you redo Stoner's M16 and call it something innovative? when the SHTF the king of all battle rifles will stand tall-the AK-47
Concur completely. The Russian made line of AKs are superior in every imaginable way on the battlefield, except for long distance accuarcy. However, with most engagement taking place at less than 100 metres and a large part of that at less than 25 metres, long distance accuarcy over 200 to 300 metres is not really all that important.
Long on PKMs !
I'll keep my AR's and my Carbon 15 (full auto). You keep your AK's, or actually SKS's, since an AK is full-auto and there are very few real ones out there. I own a shooting range. Maybe russian made ones are great, wouldn't know= but what comes here jams, fails to even get inside 3" at 70 yards. I'd feel safe at 100 with you shooting at me with one - because it's only going to take me one shot, and you're done with.
Last gun show (and I'm a 'smith) there were tons of overpriced AR's and zero buyers...everyone knows what they are worth and it ain't 2.5k.
Not sure what you mean by "real" AK's but I'll stick with my SGL-21 which is an AK47, a very good one as a matter of fact. I'm pretty sure you can't find them for $800 anymore, even the classic WASR's that were going for $400 are hard to locate. Name one rifle that has more kills behind it than an AK47....
Real AK's are full auto.
I wonder what kind of tyrannical act would be enough for freedom-loving states to annul the NFA so that some of you would have some time to convert your rifles.
AK with a slide fire stock is one helluva lot of fun. Not that I would know personally of course, I sold mine to some guy who was a very poor boater.
I spend a helluva lot less time having to monkey with either my AK or SKS at the range (actually none at all) compared to the AR-15 guys, but of course your mileage may vary. I'd rather have a bolt gun for distance anyhow.
While I won't down vote your post (as a fellow AR owner) I will say that I'm sick of the stupid pissing match between AR and AK owners...it's ridiculous!
Are ARs more accurate than AKs? Yes, but both are plenty accurate for engagements within 200 yards (and 3" at 70 yards is 4.28 MOA, which I think is a bit of a stretch even for lower quality AK variants...but even so would still give you combat effective hits at 100 yards). Is 7.62x39 more powerful than 5.56x45? Yes, but both rounds will shoot you dead with a decent hit.
Both are excellent platforms (as are a number of other rifles). I highly doubt if someone is shooting at you, you're going to feel more confident because you're holding one and they're holding the other.
Agreed. Kel-Tec is the most innovative manufacturer in the biz. Unfortunately they are also an aerospace manufacturer so you can't get any of their fun stuff.,
Oh, sorry just read the battle rifle part. I wouldn't call either a battle rifle.
Kel-Tec does make a battle rifle, btw. Good luck finding one. http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/rifles/rfb/
Have three Kel-Tecs, two SU-16 and one SUB2000 in the .40 Glock flavor. Would love to get a hold of the Kel-Tec Shotgun(KSG) but they are way overpriced right now so I picked up a Mossy 590.
The Kel-Tec bullpup is awesome. Has anyone tried the SKS to Bullpup conversion? I would like to try one. It is I think $199 and it is easy to do the convert. They have an online video of a chick in a bikini doing one.
Anyone know if Kel-Tec has caught up with insane demand for their .22 Mag or LR pistol that holds 30 shots? It has been backordered for 2 years?
Don't overlook the Ruger Mini-14. It it simple and reliable. The only downside is that it gets hot a lot faster than an AR-15.
The newer models have a heavier barrel which helps some. My older stainless model never had a problem but I never tried to get it that hot. AR-15s get hot too if you really try. You probably won't want to maintain a firing position for long enough to worry about heat. Small squads need to keep moving, allowing some time to cool things down.
The gas block on my Mini-14 got unpleasantly hot after 20 or 30 rapid-fire rounds. It's mid-80s vintage and stainless steel. Agreed, you shouldn't be staying put long enough to worry about heat.
Rather have the Mini 30 in 7.62 x 39 but way too expensive.
The American Rifle in 7mm-08 is the next for me.
My experience is that the Mini-30 is fussy about the ammo it'll eat. I found some nickel-plated Hungarian ammo that it loves, so I bought a couple K of it. Some Wolf works, some WPC won't. Haven't tried Tula or Bear yet.
Mini-14 on the other hand eats anything.
Had a stainless one. Sold it. It shot 4 MOA and it wasn't me.
Ugggh..
Articles like this one from Wired help explain the popularity of the AR-15 platform, it's a gadget to a lot of people which raises the coolness factor.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/ar-15/
And then there's guys like Mosby who probably know what's really important. He doesn't even clean his and pours motor oil on them instead of expensive specialty products.
http://mountainguerrilla.wordpress.com/the-last-word-on-the-ars-suck-bal...
Mosby's the shiznit. Love his website. His defense of the AR platform is outstanding.
You gotta love his writing style too which is always entertaining. For anybody interested, Western Rifle Shooters Association's website is like a Drudge Report or clearinghouse for articles about all things regarding SHTF. It links to Mosby and a lot of other interesting sites, none of which meet the approval of the current regime. They also have a Blogroll with a link to ZH of course. Lotsa fun for everyone:
https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/
Agreed on Wester Rifle Shooters, and Mosby especially. Another site y'all should check out is
http://www.survivalistboards.com/index.php
It is just chock full of a wide variety of info by people from all over the world.
Meh. I still won't spend my money on an AR platform. Just personal preference. Truth be told, I'd rather have a lever gun. Oh wait - I do. And a bolt for those "varmints"
ROFL .... that was funny.
Au contraire, you would be shocked to learn the data from the privately held gun manufacturers. Savage is pretty much backlogged for the year, Hi-Point (I know) is using about 40,000 rds. of ammo a day test firing new guns, Mossberg, Remlin -you name it... there all adding production and swamped.
The most hilarious thing to come out of all this is, companies—composed of firearm manufacturers, gunsmiths and sporting goods retailers, cutting off state government purchases (take a bow Govenor Cuomo) which passed insane state gun laws on its citizens.
I think New York is still trying to "fix" its gun law that made its own cops carrying an AR-15 (or other Evil Looking Black Gun ™) illegal...lol.
Being an upstate New Yorker for many years, I can tell you that the guv's new law hasn't been taken seriously and won't be by 90% of the population. Counties and Sheriff's depts. have issued proclamations denouncing it and/or saying they will not enforce it.
The guy is nothing but a socialist, just like his father. No wonder the downstate liberals love him.
I'm really good with a slingshot at fifty feet, so, personally, I don't really give a rat's ass.
The problem is that the NY laws are now on the books and can be used against you, like the guy who got jailed for empty 30 round AR-15 mags they found in his trunk during a traffic stop. It's not right that you can do serious jail time for a box with a spring in it. This is political bullshit from Cuomo who wants to be considered as a presidential candidate. His problem is the same one Chris Christie has as did Giuliani before them, they won't get any support West of the Catskills.
ar15s are trickling back into my area dealers.....but not the .223 ammo to go with it................makes for a pretty expensive wall adornment..........................
If only Ruger could make a gun that did not completely suck. I know, I have very high standards. I'm even angry with S&W for their quality problems. Ruger once made some very decent police revolvers. Also, I know the LCP is very popular, but I looked at every little pocket .380 there is and a) none of them are reliable and b) if you really need a gun, that damn little piece of crap is going to be a huge disappointment such that you would be wishing you had a knife instead. I don't think the people buying these little pistols have any clue how bad they suck. Some of them are really rough on your hand, too!
Before the boating mishap, I had a Kel-Tec .32 and found it to be quite reliable. It was accurate to about arm's length.
One good thing about a standard Ruger Mini-14 is that the regular carbine has a wooden stock and is not going to be banned in repressive states like Maryland. Only the versions that look like AR-15s will be banned.
.380 +p hollow point should be sufficient. I feel quite comfortabe carrying my .380 Kel-Tec (Crimson Trace is a must for this pistol) when I'm out jogging or biking.
I usually carry a .45 cal Glock 30SF.
I don't know about Ruger pistols, I don't own any. I do like the mini 14. (stainless with synthetic stock). Most of my pistols are Springfeild Armory.
I had the same SS Mini-14 carbine for years and loved it. I also had a Ruger P-89 which was jam free like the Mini. Sure do miss those things.
Ruger SR9C is a dream to shoot. Deadly accurate.
MkIII stainless with bull barrel is a classic and my favorite gun. Bitch to field strip, clean and reassemble though:{.
Couldn't agree more about the MKIII Hunter, it's gorgeous but a b!tch to field strip make sure you put 1000+ rounds through it before you strip it for the first time!!!
I love Rugers as they are very reliable The only thing with Ruger pistols is that they have a lot of "California Safety's" on them. Their SR 1911 isn't sold in CA because Ruger chose not to put a magazine safety in it. The Springfield line is also an excellent choice...I've owned some of those too, But I just lost everything in a tragic boating accident.
Yes, the loaded chamber indicator is the only ugly part of the MKIII and one reason to choose a MKII instead.
Scuba classes are in order for me as well. Boating accidents are all to common where I live and there isn't even that much water!
Removed
Not fast enough. -DHS-
I carry a Kel Tek P3AT. It is reliable, It is also a couple of ounces lighter than the LCP.
Yes, I realize the .380 has half the muzzle energy of the 9mm, but the P3AT is small enough and light enough that it goes everywhere with me. IMHO, a .380 pistol is a lot better than a knife.
Try Magnum Reasearch Micro Desert Eagle a 380 well build and reliable
Well, I don't know... I really like my Mark II, my 10/22 take down, and my newest rifle- the American Rifle (not highend, but great value for money and so far very reliable). Just purchased a S&W M&P Shield in 9mm, to replace my old edc and I like it alot. Also love my old Marlin 30-30 levergun, and the 3 shotguns, and my other...oh, hell- I just like guns!!
Sig Sauer P238.
Great little gun. A little spendy @ +/- 500
Agree, those Sigs are sweet.
I don't know know a lot about gun engineering, but I can agree that the LCP 380 has a "weird" feel when firing. Sometimes I get pain between the thumb and forefinger afte a lot of rounds. However, I really like it, very lightweight, no misfires on the range or anything, and I load with crticial defense for extra stopping power. It's a BUG for me anyway I carry a glock 34 as my main weapon, BUT, becuase of the 380's lightweight, my wife now carries it all of the time, whereas sometimes she would leave behind her Glock 26 becuase it felt too heavy in her smaller purses.
I had a friend who bought a Walther PPK like Bond had or still has. It pinched you real bad between the thumb and forefinger. I think some other .380's are like that. Weird. Any gun beats having no gun when you need it.
If only Ruger could make a gun that did not completely suck.
Obviously you have never handled their revolvers. Best in production PERIOD.
Fired a .44 Ruger Super Blackhawk flat-top that a friend owns. Holy shit! Talk about recoil. I'm 6'1" and 210 pounds but that's too much gun for me. My friend has huge hands and another 50 pounds on me and he seems to enjoy the hell out of shooting it.
Quit whining you little bitch. My P3AT has had over 1200 rounds through it with no malfunctions and I can asure you that it's as accurate as I can shoot it out as far as it needs to be.
Remington is junk... not to mention, they kept their factories in NY after they passed the unconstitutional laws. Fuck em. I'll never buy from them again and tell everyone I know to do the same.
That's good. I own a Remington 597 and Ruger 10/22. I bought a scope last week for the 10/22, but am damned if I buy anything for or from Remington. I'll be selling it as soon as I can.
1100 is a good semi auto shotgun platform; but yeah, I won't buy another Remington for the reason you mentioned.
"Remington is junk..."
My 700 SPS Varmint (.308 with H-S Precision upgrade) strongly disagrees with this portion of your post....sadly we both have to agree with the rest of it.
Remington 700 VPR is pretty sweet.
when this goes parabolic, i'm gonna be worried
Bulletcoin?
Duide!!
Obama should get his picture on the wall of their corporate office for the "Best Salesman Award".
But what did HE gain from his sales? =)
People are buying guns because they know this country is done...
This administration is totally out of control
That may be, but like those two assholes in Boston, the average Johnny-come-lately gun buyer has no plan after "buy a gun." They might go shoot it, if they can find ammo. But I think a lot of these people are just trying to have more interesting water cooler conversations. I guess it's still better to have a gun than not have one...
Many of the new owners sign up for a shooting range and safety class. And "Get into it"
My Dad taught me how to shoot shotguns, pistols, and rifles when I was a kid, but I did just recently get my CHL.
320M+ guns and 82M+ gun owners
1M LEO guns
3M military guns
Come hither...
The mind boggling part is that they have done about 15 million NIC checks every year for the last 4 years. This means about 60 million new guns in a country that is pretty much saturated with guns.
Yeah exactly there will be plenty of surplus guns to be had for free when the shtf when Johnny-come-lately finds out that being Rambo like in the movies gets you killed real quickly. You ain't taking on the paramilitary keystone cop brigade head on with your AR-15 by yourself and living to tell the tale with no formal combat training. You'd be better served with a shot gun and spread shot in an urban environment like Boston than an AR-15. Just aim low...... and use a pistol or knife to clean up afterwards.
Rambos everywhere. Without a clue.
I would agree. Organize.
Yeah so do I but you know if people starting openly organizing the DHS/Multi-agency clown show brigade is going to be paraded out more often and publicly to try to keep it from happening. It is not the people fed up that they are concerned about it is those on the sidelines still deciding which side to choose or those blissfully unaware of what is going on they are trying keep in line.
Most people obsess on the weapons, tactics and logistics I believe more important. If it is not organized you will have to make due with whatever is available, prepper or not in an urban environment you are going to need to keep a low key, hit and run and blend back into the general populace if you are in an "occupied" area. Having a plan (even if it is far from perfect) and a little ingenuity goes a long way. I'd be using these shows of force as a learning exercise. I hope it doesn't come down to it but like the old saying goes plan for the worst and hope for the best, also hope the cooler heads ulitmately prevail.
Here is another eye-opening and instructive site in re SHTF and very sobering. You don't have to sign up for the course, but read the blog and comments. Wow.
http://shtfschool.com/
Yes...Vital information from someone who actually lived through SHTF.
One "Rambo" could easily shut down an entire city on the east coast.
Well the paramilitary keystone cop brigade overreacted to try to show they were on top of things for the matrix. A Rambo that actually knows what they are doing will totally embarrass them which means the MSM will be in full information lockdown like there were with Dorner and then afterwards the shows on history channel will be classifying you as a serial killer like they are now with Dorner. Totally ignoring why he did it and pushing he is a serial killer meme to the extreme to hammer the point home in people's heads so they don't sympathize with his actions.
I haven't heard anyone comment on what the situation would be if the Boston bombing guys had a sympathetic populace behind them. The guy who found him in the boat (in a different situation) would have rendered aid and support. Good luck to the gov't if there evey is a serious revolt with a good percentage of the people's backing.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS COMMENTS EVER MADE ON ZH.
I'm noticing that the comments on ZH are getting more real... more practical...
Is this a sign reflecting the collective unconsciousness of America, where it is moving towards something truly of this magnitude?
+1 There will be a point of no return
Then look the fuck out...
We haven't crossed it yet. When you see the DHS buying things like attack helicopters you know what is coming next. There is absolutely no reason for them to be using those in any domestic system except for a war related situation.
"One "Rambo" could easily shut down an entire city on the east coast."
Not even that! A couple of kids with pressure cookers shutdown Boston, and the airports/rail/buses with in a 250 mile radius.
Yep it's done and when the economy finally meets reality, the FREE SHIT ARMY is gonna go wild.
Thats the concern.
WHO TURNED OFF MY FUCKING OBAMA PHONE!!!!!!!
now everyone is on the watch list that bought a pressure cooker. But I do have to say the chile and soups you can make from it is great.
Like 12mins to cook a minestrone. Get some crusty bread.
Homer sound:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msQPHxTUgzI
uhhhHHHhhrghhhuuuuHHHggrruhhhHHhh mmmm weaponized minestrone.
Does this mean we stockpile cookers and wait for the ramp up in price when internet sales are banned and there is legislation banning the high capacity quarts?
Biden: No one needs a 6 quart pressure cooker. I told my wife just get a crockpot and bring it out on the front porch!
slow cookers just mash the flavors together- with pressure you can go way past stew and get that explosion of flavor. (pardon the pun for the false flag reference)
Hope production quality isn't sacrificed for speed.
Hell, I thought I was buying high when Bubba was in...got all I need now.
(Well, almost...lol)
Ahhhh yes, the good old gun-grabbing days of yesteryear when the price of 9mm ammo skyrocketed to eleven cents per round. It almost got too expensive to shoot the UZI. Almost, lol.
Thats when I took up reloading, was fortunate to live next door to a WWII vet who got me into it, straight wall cases are the easiest...9mm, 38, 357 etc.
Don't do much of it anymore but gonna pass the scales, RCBS, furnace, dies etc. (and knowledge) down the line...as long as we got wheel weights, we got ammo.
Save your brass till it cracks ;-)
I can see it now.Please trust your government and hand in your weapons.
I lost mine in a boating accident, it was truely a horrific day.
