Wait a week and then claim it's 'semi-seasoned'
Seems to be what most people do

 

Someone might still take it. I like pine for camping because it burns quick.

 

I burn it inside at home toward the end of the year. I need to get one of those chimney brush things to DIY though, if it takes 5 minutes to clean it I'll burn anything

 

Same. I mostly use Pine for campfires. Lights easy, throws OK heat & lots of light, and you're not stuck babysitting a fire all evening. Plus it's super cheap because I've been taking down all of the Pines around the house and the camp that I can get away with.

 

Hows it going all. This ones for the MA residents knowledgeable in MA Firearms.

Im looking to buy my first handgun in MA at MassFirearms in Holliston. This particular Handgun does not have a external thumb safety.
Is it true that handguns for sale at dealers without external safeties are going to have a ridiculous 10 pound trigger pull weight? It does not mention on their shop website.

Thank for your input.

 

I thought that all of the handguns sold in MA needed that trigger?

 

Ive been briefly reading that only handguns without external safeties require it. But it is legal to modify the trigger after the sale to reduce the trigger weight. This law in particular blows my mind. A 10 pound trigger will make it much more difficult to get rounds on target accurately. I can go on about this but it is what it is i guess.

 

Damn dealers

 

just buy it in nh and transfer her in

 

The only PITA is the sticky saw at the end of it.

 

Shrug. More grip, lol.

 

Easier said than done. But it is possible and if that's the gun you want then definitely worth the efforts.

 

Yes, you can modify the trigger after the fact. It's a CMR that regulates the sale of new fire arms. You can legally perform a trigger job after the sale.

 

That doesn't always work. You have to transfer it in so you're going to add money to the initial cost and the FFL in MA may not accept it if it's not MA compliant.

 

Most of my buildings are on SIP trunks for phone lines, but I have two elementary schools still on Verizon POTS. The wind did something last night because every line is dead in one building. Verizon closed my tickets calling them invalid and gave me a number to call to put in a ticket instead. I called that number and they said they can't help because it's an enterprise account. I called the enterprise number they gave me and they told me it's only for New York and gave me the number I originally called. That company is so frustrating.

 

Id like to avoid that headache and a half if possible haha. The trigger law is super annoying. Didnt even know about it until now.

 

I deal with this level of shenanigans with my companies own internal IT team. Not even a farmed out 3rd party, they work directly for the company. It's fun....

 

Funny enough, I'm actually trying to go back to Verizon for internet. We switched to Comcast last year because I got fed up with Verizon's BS. Comcast internet is sucking wind. It did great for a while then, out of the blue, I got a call from Comcast asking if I wanted a faster plan. I told them the current plan is doing just fine. Literally, the next day we seriously got throttled back and we're crawling. Now going back to Verizon for much faster internet and a LOT cheaper than Comcast was going to give it to us. Called Comcast, not an ounce of negotiation. Same thing happened with Verizon when we left, there's no customer retention at all with the providers.

 

Back in college, (unnamed) serviced Orono area. They notoriously gave you the runaround for customer retention, basically trying to force an extra month or so out of college students. I didn't have the time for that, so when I called I said "yeah I just got engaged and I'm moving in with my new fiance" and rather than the 3-4 hour runaround just to cancel, I got a congratulations and within 5 minutes I was off the phone. Classmate the next day was complaining that they dragged her around for 6 hours (and I believe that number) and she finally gave up and was going to try again later - told her my method, she tried it and got a similar response - about 5 minutes and cancelled no worries. Wonder if that spread and became a trend up there, they must think there's a ton of engagements at UMaine

 

you just gotta look around, and any added cost is probably less than a trigger job
