First time I heard these old radio programs was the AFRS in Germany 1972. Been listening to them ever since. Fibber McGee & Molly is my favorite. Some currently available on CD; https://store.radiospirits.com/fibber-mcgee-molly-old-family-recipes/

MWR Range weekly.

Uhhh, not "red" or phosphorus. They are smoke grenade launchers typically for white smoke which is HC. Also used for ATWESS during Force on Force training. ATWESS is a TOW missile simulator. I've received, stored, and issued a lot of pyrotechnics in the Army. Red smoke included, never any...

After years of thumbing caps onto my revolvers I found a capper than holds 100 + #10 caps. Safe & easy to use. https://www.polishcappers.com/en/products/capper-pccs-polish-cappers.html Order to delivery was about three weeks.

Similar experience using surplus LC ammo in mine. Literally had to pound the fired brass out. Tried commercial ammo, the cases fell out with ease. Accuracy didn't suffer either. Put blue Loctite on the screws about the 3rd time they all loosened.

I have several Tisas 1911's. Have used only Ball ammo in them. No failures of any kind. Excellent fit & finish on all of them. Excellent accuracy on dueling tree target at 15 yards. Have used Metalform, Mec-Gar, CDNN OEM, Ruger, and Colt mags in mine...

124 gr ball works best in my Ruger's, Colt, & Tisas. 115gr ball when I can't obtain 124 gr. Tried 147gr with poor results. Some of my pistols are more finicky about manufacturer than bullet weight though. Handloads / Reloads with cast bullets are another matter, hardness, diameter, gas...

My experience with Express Scripts has always been satisfactory, knock on wood. The only trouble I have had is my provider sending the prescription to the wrong pharmacy; I use the on base pharmacy and Express Scripts for two items not in the on base formulary. My co-pay to Express Scripts is...

Began driving a stick shift about 1970, legally in 1971. Stick shift Army vehicles 1972. Sciatica began to bother me about 2012. Keeping pressure on clutch pedal at Red traffic light began to hurt more and more. Tried putting vehicle in neutral and taking foot off clutch pedal with right...

Winchester ammo won't fully chamber in my Bearcat. Federal, CCi, & Armscor work fine.
