Based off of that recent post with upcoming laws that will make getting a gun annoying as hell:

What would you guys get before it kicks in if you could? Trying to figure out what to go for, if anything, before.

Have a handgun, shotgun, m1 garand, mini 14. Is it worth getting anything else? Primarily home defense and range fun.

Anyone have any ideas about adding a charging handle of sorts to a full size masada? Have a non-dominant hand injury that makes it harder to pull back the slide with an optic on

Anyone have any alternative mounting options for a microprism? Cogburn seems to be out of stock for a while

Is there any reason why an accu-strut for the mini 14 would be illegal in WA? I can't think of a reason, but it LOOKS SCARY.

Hey guys,

I was hoping for some advice here since I'm at my wit's end. We have this fluorescent light fixture that I believe to have a ballast issue (only ends of new bulbs are lighting and makes a humming noise when turned on). The ballast is as pictured (pn-240-tp), which apparently they don't make anymore. The wiring looks screwy, and I've attached a bunch of pics. It seems the white neutral wire is coupled up as well to the ends of the bulbs on the left?

I got a replacement ballast (Robertson ISU232T8120 (3P20116)) which I thought would work, but doesn't (not enough wires it seems). Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the ballast? It's a 2 bulb t8 fixture. Thanks!

Hey yall.

Anyone seen any Ruger Mini 14s recently in the Seattle or Tacoma area at a reasonable price? Or can I just stop into any decent shop (or chain) and assume they'll have it? Don't want to waste a trip for nothing. Thanks!
