Nitro Company makes a 10 gauge "Economy Load" that combines copper plated lead with Hevi-shot to produce a 3 ounce payload. My buddy is trying to reproduce this load at home but he keeps running into an overpressure problem with commercial powders. He suspects this is a blended powder but he...
I ordered some brass polish and a ruger mini-14 factory mag from Midway USA. When I filled out the credit card information I accidently had the items shipped to the billing address (my house) instead of to my office where I normally have things sent. The difference is that if it goes to the...
I have a portable scale made by the Befour company. I think it is a model# PS-6600. When I turn it on it gives the message "Phd5", flashes, and then gives the message "Lo-b". It is used and did not come with a manual. Any suggestions before I call the company service department?
Sometimes I notice that I haven't seen posts by someone in a while and I go look at their profile and see that it is marked "Shooter". Other times I notice the same thing but when I look their profile is gone and their name doesn't show up in a search. I thought that the rule was to mark...
We have a local ordinance that prevents an otherwise legal carrier from taking a firearm into the courthouse. Because I am often at various board meetings because of my job this morning's footage of the school board shooting in Florida really bothered me. I put together the following e-mail...
My wife says she wants a stun gun. I've never used one and I don't know much about them. What is a good make and model of stun gun?
She already has her own knives, firearms, pepper spray and impact weapons so don't post stuff about other things being better than stun guns because she already...
I am upgrading my 10/22 in preparation for another Appleseed. It currently has the standard wooden stock that came on the gun when I bought it. I have been doing some research and I have seen recommendations for three stocks in particular. These are the Tapco T6, the Christie Super Stock and...
Is anybody aware of a company that makes a rifled barrel with rifle sights for a Remington 1100 in 20 gauge? I am finding rifled barrels with cantilevers and smooth barrels with rifle sights. I have checked Remington and Hastings' sites and neither of them seems to be making a rifled barrel...
I occasionally see complaints on here to the effect that someone sold a gun and then the buyer turned around and listed it on another site for more money. I once bought a gun from another INGOer who sold it for a good price on the condition that it go to a fellow INGOer. I respected that wish...
I saw a new version of the Spanish Prisoner/Nigerian Bank scam today. A client's mother brought by a letter she had received purporting to be from a lawyer in Spain. The letter claims that there is a chest with millions of US dollars inside that will be claimed by the government if she doesn't...
You are riding in a tiny elevator with an elderly gentleman. The elevator becomes stuck between floors and you can't get out. Hours pass. There is just enough room to lie down side by side. You fall asleep. When you wake up you find that the old man has died in his sleep. You can hear the...
I see on the home page that INGO's population is now over 11,000. That makes this online community more populous than several Indiana counties. That got me thinking. "What would INGO be like if it were a physical location?" What kind of community would it be? What sort of businesses would you...
I saw this site on the news today. It is supposed to be a collection of instructional videos, mostly on math and science topics that is aimed at offering a free education to anyone who wants to use it. I am just starting to look at some of the lessons to try and figure out if they are BS or...
This thread is meant for philosophical discussion. It is not meant to condone any sort of behavior but rather to explore the logic behind certain laws. Here goes:
We have a pet dog named Rocky. He isn't a guard dog or a hunting dog. He doesn't really do anything useful. He is just a pet...
I bet you thought this was gonna be some kind of joke thread. Nope. It's a real event that has been growing out here for the past few years. The premise is simple: get a bunch of rednecks together on their fourwheelers and head out cross-country, stopping at various "stations" along the way...
I was out and about this morning when I noticed a squid on the wall. Squid are rather rare in Indiana so I figured I would post a picture of this squid and see if any of you INGOers can tell me where I was this morning.
CNN is reporting Blago was found guilty on one count of making a false statement to the FBI, hung jury on the other 23 counts. Looking for a link.
Got it:

Its nothing official, but with two teachers in my immediate family and three boys in school we have come to call the last Saturday before summer break ends "Jamaica Day". We put on some Bob Marley, drink Red Stripe and cook some chicken and sea food on the grill. Its nothing official, just a...
