Is this a good deal?

I've been looking into 9mm PCCs lately, and I came across this on PSA, and was wondering if this was a good deal

Took my Union Journeyman test. Where to go from here?

A few weeks ago, after talking to one of my friends in the local union (614), I decided to go to the union hall and take the placement test. I got my results back last week, and I placed at a Journeyman level. I have roughly 3.5 years of field experience with one company, which is the one I started at for my first HVAC job, and currently make $27/hour running demand service for our industrial clients. Union scale for Journeyman is roughly $44/hour, plus the additional $7.50/hour for insurance, and $9/hour for retirement, so the overall package is worth $60/hour. This is a huge raise for me, so I will definitely be going union. My question is that is it better to pay the union dues, and get put on the list of journeyman looking for work, or call the union shops myself and pay the dues when I get hired? I already had an interview last week, and am having another one next week for a different company.

Why would a condensing unit have 2 filter dryers?

No cool call. 10 ton 3 phase heat pump split. Trane. Superheat was awesome. Negative sub cooling. Found one of these dryers was restricted. Unit will eventually be replaced l, but it serves a critical lab, so I just cut out both dryers, and replaced with copper, then added a 7/8 dryer in the 5/8 liquid line. Been in the industry for almost 4 years and I have never seen any unit with 2 liquid line filter dryers in the same refrigeration circuit.

Picked up this 1952 Mosin Nagant, not really looking for one, just came across it at a good price ($600), and I honestly do not know much about identifying them, and was hoping for some information/tips.
