I've noticed, what little filter I had at one point has almost completely disappeared...

Their just things I threw together. The Savage 10 type receivers are really good actually. Plus their design allows the average guy to simply replace barrels yourself. I am not a gunsmith.
Once I have the barrel (even the stock Savage heavy varmint barrel is very accurate) usually a match type you just in put it on a receiver!
Remington receivers require a gunsmith to rebarrel, but now "Remage" conversions are available so you can do your own Remmington.
I don't go as far as send them a sample of my hand loads to have the chamber precision cut, I just go with SAMMI spec.
Later Savage receivers, (the 110 type) will have their "Accutrigger" which is excellent, and that saves price of a target type trigger. I can adjust mine to just under or just over 2 lbs. Very crisp break.
These guns were very inexpensive but are great value. Southern engineering at its best, lol.
AR rifles, easy barrel change, just pick a match barrel. I do have a tool and fine abrasive that trues the front of a receiver where the barrel attaches. Then I fit a Geisley 2 stage trigger.
I find that trigger is a great compromise. Usually you don't want a target trigger on a battle AR, a special purpose AR could use one.
The 2 stage allows a 2.5 lbs pull and you feel it stop, then another 2 lbs breaks. Total of 4.5 lbs, but you can finnese it for 2 lb target break.
I built these for far less than pre built, hardly precision, but value stuffed parts that the average guy can fire, assemble, clean dis assemble, and so forth.

Another day and nothing much accomplished. I was going to put a garage door opener on the new door to the plow Jeep garage, but every time I pulled on my shoes, the skies opened up. I don't like being cold, and I don't like being wet, but cold and wet flat out sucks.
Checked the temp in the living room. 65 degrees. Figured as soon as it got to 64 I was going to fire up the boiler. Checked the temp in my bedroom (where most of the parrots are). 61 degrees. Oiled up the recirc motors and fired up the boiler. Only had to burp one baseboard fin tube. Score one for the Hippie.
Never got to the expected 57 today. Highest I saw was 54. Supposed to get back to 70 tomorrow. That garage door opener will be waiting for me.

Old Hen is still madly in love with her new ride. The Pullet was driving a '14 Cruse that I bought her new back in '15, but she's put 92K on it. OH had a '15 Equinox that had 42K on it, so I figured I'd trade the Cruse in on the new ride and give Pullet the Equinox with less than half the miles and replaced it with a '22 Trail Blazer loaded. Ugliest color blue I've ever seen on a Chevy, but the OH just loves it, and it's her buggy, so I'll get used to it. It's got that golf cart motor, but you can turn off that option, and the snowmobile transmission that isn't as weird as I thought it would be.

Where ever it is, they ain't getting many. It's the first one they've got in awhile, and was promised to some dude, but he shined on the deal. OH was next in line. She took it for a ride Tuesday, and we brought it home on Wednesday. Little bugger handles like a sports car rather than an SUV. Must be the RS package. Supposed to get 29/34 MPG, and with the country dependent on foreign oil again, that'll come in handy.

the top shareholders and corporation execs should be taken to task for the dismantling of America's ability to manufacturer anything and everything just for greed

You wouldn't believe how much they've already spoiled my old arse. My two gals are the best thing that ever happened to me. If I died tomorrow, I'd die a happy man.

my magic mirror knows that in the mornings I will accept 7 years of bad luck for the wrong visual forecast ..

So far the lowest our house has been in the morning was 67F. We usually have to fire up the gas furnace around the first of October. We had oil when we bought it and went through one high efficiency gas furnace, before the current one, which so far has functioned flawlessly. The problem with the high efficiency ones, is that even the stainless steel heat exchangers are eaten out my the sulfuric acid in the condensate.
The third time around, I married my best friend on her third time around, which ended up being a sagacious move on both our parts.
