Amen 🌈🚀🎯.

Long live the BAM rifles of yesteryear and QB Series of Co2 guns still available! Those PCP’s and Co2 guns converted to HPA taught me a lot on my journey to my current RAW PCP’s. My Xisco compressor been going strong on 5 years now and I have been buying Harbor Freight tools for 25 years🙂. HF...

It will be interesting to see where we are on June 1st as supply chain effects become more clear 😉.

It’s good to see that Trump responded to his approval rating dropping 20 points on the economy 🙂. However, we’re still going to see supply disruptions resulting from the past month’s reduced trade, which will affect pricing or produce shortages. Anyone’s guess after the 90 day period, except...

Yes, a positive attitude is everything ........... I avoid drama and try to stick with the facts. Nothing like a good defense ...........

Was going to buy a Harbor Freight (Bauer) Jointer that was $279 for the past two weeks. Was waiting for a 20% off coupon. Today, was notified there was a 25% coupon deal ..... yeah:). Unfortunately, HF raised the price on the jointer to $329 in the last few days - That's an 18% increase...

Couldn't have said it better 🎯.

Yeah Avator, You pretty much always have something insightful to say 😉✌️.

No Avator, Financially Naive Policy making …. creating higher prices and reduce trade. Consumers mostly EAT this cost. There’s a reason why tariffs deepened the Great Depression ….. this is basic Economics 101.

- Yes, If many of the manufacturing jobs were brought back to USA, they wouldn't pay a (minimum) standard of living unless prices went way up. The cheaper cost of living in parts of China or 3rd World economies allow them to be made very inexpensively vs. the USA. There is a reason why...

Yes, but given this scenario, prices still go up .... as Australia certainly charges more than China (pre-tarrif) and YOU get an arbitrage fee. - However, everyone gets their stuff, new international trade alliances are created .... and not as many folks lose their jobs :sneaky:. *** Also...

Back when I was 14 or 15, a friend trash pick two Crosman 101’s and gave them to me. He knew I was into pellet guns (1974), so I tore them down and cleaned up the internals, refinished the stocks and repainted the metalwork. They looked great and shot nicely - accuracy on par with my Benjamin...

Tarrifs Explained - (Nobody is in Control) - Not to sound overly negative, but ................. Yes ...... Someone is in Control -> The Big Kahuna in Washington - but the instability cat is "out-of-the-bag". - Buckel-up for Higher Prices, Reduced Supply & Recession --> Layoffs ...

Hey KSK, In hindsight, I may have misread the Ace box top containing the gun screws sizes (Edit 8-40 & 10-32 see pic below). I simply measured the only slotted, pancake screws in the Gun Smith screw box. The 5 mm screw replacements screws measured .182” (5mm=.196”), while the 4 mm hole was...

- These screws (8-40 x1/8, 10-32 x 1/8) cost $1.19 & $1.49 respectively at Ace Hardware, hence each gun will cost less than $4.50 using this methodology :). Remember, while your screwing them in - keep 'em parallel to the receiver flat. The holes get enlarged a tad, so it's best to hit them...
