Forum rules


As with any great game there are rules.

1: This is a Family Site that means:
__ a: No sexually explicit pictures or avaters.
__ b: No vulgar profanity. (Keep it PG)
__ c: No personal insults (Argue the point, not the person.)

2: Keep all political/religious debates civil. Different viewpoints are good. Hating someone for that different is bad.

3: No "smack-talk" of someone elses gun. Every gun is a Heirloom to it's owner.

4: No spamming or fly-by-night sales. This isn't free-advertising.com! Go sell your stuff somewhere else.

5: If you don't like guns or shooting hobbies, go somewhere else! There are other places to go that feel that way and would love you to join them. Let us enjoy our hobby!

6: Have fun! You're here to relax and enjoy yourself. Keep it light and don't get caught up in the gun-smoke!

I just glued these in with super glue. I thought about threading them but the bullits were so small I had trouble hanging on to them as it was. I think if I ever did this again Id drill into the hollow point area and push the loop through into the hollow, and bend it over in there, then glue. DR

I'm gonna give it a try since my daughter had made mention of how cool it would be to turn some of my bullets into earings. So maybe I'll try and go all the way through using my Dremel drill press. But I'll have to use something bigger than 17's since the smallest I might be able to use would be some .22/s or larger. :dunno:

Use the heaviest 54R that you have and drill all the way through. That way they would be practical - if she is ever stranded or in a SHTF situation, she could use the earring hooks for fish hooks and the bullets would make perfect bullet weights.

LOL.... Of course until that time her ears would be stretched to her knees! :funny:
