I would not even try to shoot it. The age is not the concern; the moisture is. Whatever the cost of fresh ammo, it’s nothing compared to a mishap, even on the range, not to mention in any circumstances in which you were counting on dependable rounds.

Should they be shut down?. They can shut business down like for any reason they want including congress and call it a emergency but have a hard time ending the emergence by hiding the reasons they should end it or not even called it ,  with no longer any push back from congressional oversight  but a company becoming a apparent  enemy from within  and more gets to stay in business? Where’s homeland security?

BlackRock and MSCI under investigation by House … – CNN

People need to get back to the constitution if they want to save this country. So many rights are going out with manipulation the window every day and the ones doing it if they  can’t slither around it they will violate them with hate speech they accuse others of who  are actually falling under the rights of the constitution.
Hate speech lies  and slander, guns commit crimes in people hands, Many  examples there.
Militias are bad they’re criminals so let’s get rid of the second amendment.They’re being coned slandered and played while attacking the rights of what this this country was formed under by the constitution to protect it from tyrants and enemies within like that.

Currently even the goon squad are  actively violating the 5 th amendment rights alone and expands from there with hate speech with slander about Jews and attacks or their first amendment rights which there is no first amendment protection to that kind of speech against them and can be sued and the squad violating their oaths should be removed from office the office of  congress.

Free speech included burning the flag because it’s considered free speech despite upsetting others.
Wait!! but yet what if you burn a gay flag.it’s still free speech that includes religious free speech but they want double standards and call it hate speech where IS NO DOUBLE STANDARDS. Flunked again. Double standard have no standards. . It is what it is. Homophobia so your afraid to expose your kids to a homo is what phobia is, too bad if so that’s their rights under free speech  and fear is not hate speech or a crime. That’s their absolute right and where accusing the fear could be slander, and fear is not illegal. Where’s THEIR SAFE SPACE!!!
Those rights expand to parents who pay taxes to schools promoting this not to mention the only nation in this flag is a abomination. But what do they do, call them feds on them to violate their rights led by a corrupt DOJ who also violated his oath to office!

The debt in related to legislators and congress, who are the people who allowed it to happen and what benefit did it have for American citizens.

This article from ZH sheds a little more light on the subject of “dedollarization.”

I Told You So

The Russian economy is predicted to grow this year, despite all the sanctions. Russian oil exports, for example, are higher than ever.

Russia’s also buying high-tech goods from China, including some military hardware and other manufactured goods. China’s buying Russian oil and natural gas, in addition to agricultural output and weapons.

That’s a big two-way trade, and the dollar isn’t being used. Russia’s paying yuan, and China’s paying rubles.

Meanwhile, nations around the world are trying to eliminate or reduce their dependence on the dollar out of fear that the U.S. could use Russia-style sanctions against them if the U.S. disapproves of their conduct.

None of the sanctions would be effective or even possible without the use of the dollar and the dollar payments system.

Not Even Janet Yellen Can Deny It

The failure of U.S. dollar-based sanctions has become too obvious to ignore. The failure is so obvious that even Janet Yellen has admitted that sanctions are not working.

She said, “There is a risk when we use financial sanctions that are linked to the role of the dollar that over time it could undermine the hegemony of the dollar. Of course, it does create a desire on the part of China, of Russia, of Iran to find an alternative.”

So let’s evaluate some facts… Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world, will end 2023 with a profit of $75 billion according to Bloomberg.

The US, the most indebted country in the world, will end 2023 with a loss of $2 trillion according to the New York Times.

I don’t know what they call them there but here many people don’t even know who their legislators are it’s just not the President they have to watch out and who’s siding with him and get all the bad actors out as possible with him. I hope they have some sort of second amendment there.

….It’s looking more and more like Canadians are finally catching on to Trudeau’s lies and deceptions, so they are working hard to remove Trudeau! I think Trudeau is digging his own grave so I am encouraging him to dig deeper and faster.

Horrifying & Historic US Dollar Crash – Bo Polny

I know you cured your arthritis with boron years ago but talking to a friend Texas about guns but not that subject cuz they’ve been in a safe out of sight and mind. She has a little store there with health supplements and products. She know my hands are now next with neuropathy not as strong with grip and fingers too but keeps me going. She’s one you can’t keep down despite her doing everything now for herself and husband and good on her and keeps me going something too about giving  up on guns next except my handgun but a hard pull that used to be pretty easy. Next to her store a gun store opened up. I though here we go, some girls shop for cloths other shoes, others purses but this cow girl it guns.
I knew what she was gonna say next. She told me about these Smith and Wesson easy pull guns some with safety’s some not and we both agree on safety’s. She has a conceal carry doesn’t need locks no time for that and no young kids around she keeps it on her anyways , she’s in ready as well as her husband, they have a few models. Her motto is it isn’t gonna do any good if it’s not with you if you need it which is true. They’re lighter guns too easer to carry. She’s got the 911 I wanted years back but there was fighting in California about how many shells a hand gun could use and during Obama hard to get either of guns and ammo and defense guns. Even light 22 home defense hollow points for hand guns only long gun ammo.
I don’t know what is going on there with guns and Trudeau around but just a FYI. Good for your wife to have. She hasn’t got to try it out yet so don’t know about accuracy or recoil.

Wow that’s strange. What was wrong with the cartilage or was it a gun,  did you find out? That’s something!
These look fine not corroded and over 10 yrs ago so powder likely dry if any water got in. High gain in copper. They banned lead years back in Calif.

I didn’t oil them after I dried them that’s stress on bolts slides and who knows and quite a bit to then the try to get the oil back off. Busy times then but  look good but just wonder if it changes something what happens if it did take in any water then and over 10 yrs  later.
They were in  wet soil not under water and in a bag cuz I was going to take them back out and during drought Calif but didn’t expect that that to happen. I thought about trying them out but just haven’t got out for that and plan on giving it away since it’s a military gun kind that’s passed down but I passed  on the bayonet one,  should of took it the way things are going now, Just don’t  want to hand  down bad ammo.
You have to register older military or any kind of guns now in Calif so they can find every gun out there in martial law except the criminals and the ones who already had them so in that respect they’re more valuable than just big  game for a back up if you know what I mean.

Moose hunting in BC I spotted a bull moose browsing along a creek about 200 yards away; an easy shot for my scoped 30:06 Remington Semi-Auto Game Master. I squeezed off the shot which did not sound or feel right (too muffled), and that moose didn’t even raise his head but just kept on browsing. I started to squeeze off the next shot but that’s when sanity kicked in and my Higher Power said “DON’T DO IT”, so I didn’t. Turned out that bullet was lodged 1/2 way down the barrel of the rifle, and the next shot would have killed me, since the rifle barrel would have blown up in my face.

If you think they got wet I’d throw them out, or do as I suggested in the heading and carefully test a couple of them to be sure they are okay.

Preferred Pronouns: US Border Agents Told To Use ‘Woke’ Language

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/preferred-pronouns-us-border-agents-told-use-woke-language

Hey that reminds me with that purchase I buried I also put copper 30-06 bullets in with it. I still have them. It was good actually I guess when I ran into the pipe but took off work work didn’t discover the leak till the next day when my dog was using to for a drinking fountain and realized oh no dig  them up and had to dry each one individually out of the containers and the bullets that kept their color but do you think it got into the bullets? I still have them I hope their still good.

To me it’s always been real ie phyz I saw the games early as wel as the big turns no one believed but the market is a hobby. Also there’s other priorities even before PMs.

Good idea what you did but hope no lurker reading this finds out where  your cottage is. Good idea about the pvc pipes. Your right about silver and when a hurry one day I found out the white containers they put the silver in aren’t waterproof. Maybe some what  water resistant but not if a pipe breaks and likely my fault whild doing it in a hurry.  Yikes

Hi Bob – thanks for your reply and good advice, but unfortunately I am approaching an age where at some point I will need to convert physical to fiat to pay my living expenses.

My plan was for the mining stocks to do that job with dividends and capital gains, but the only people that made out with mining stocks have been the short sellers and the company managements.

I’m still convinced that fiat Ponzi scheme is nearing it’s inevitable demise, so even their 5% interest doesn’t interest me.

What I am looking for is a trustworthy, insured vaulting service that can serve as my bank.   Texas and Utah have talked about doing it, but i don’t think they have actually done anything.

For quite a few years I buried mine on my cottage property and covered the location with a large boulder to forestall detection by metal detector. The area is remote and very difficult to access, and traffic was non-existent.

My hoard is all coins, so size wasn’t a problem. If you plan to bury the PMs install them into a PCV pipe with threaded ends, screw on caps using a non-hardening sealant as thread seal. If it’s gold only water leakage won’t matter but if silver the threads should be watertight.

Maya, a big thumbs up on that. In this rigged world of corruption and greed the only winner will ultimately be the stacker IMO!

Goldielocks,  if you’re happy making and losing pennies while your broker is making dollars off of you and all your trades, I wish you luck and success. Just remember that the rig is designed to fleece the unwary, and the “markets” are now a rigged casino but no longer a market IMO!

All the Best from Silverngold

Good comments – all well said.

A question re:  “Go Physical”.

But not a good idea to keep more at home than you’d be willing to give up.

So if a person were to go physical in a big way where would a person store it?

All the vaulting services have exclusions in their insurance policies to protect them in case of “war; riot; civil insurrection; etc.” exactly the scenario that we are likely headed for.  Most vaults are just glorified warehouse – hardly the impregnable  fortresses portrayed in movies.

Any suggestions?

That is a confusing subject because your shares are supposed to be protected in a trust but then other things on the subject says they can be borrowed with commission but also can be stuck paying and dividends coming up so another reason the shares go up if shorts are getting out at that point and then get back in after the shares have been paid then profit on the drop. I wonder those who pay divis every month have less of a problem with that compared to paying quarterly to one time a year.
Not everyone has a margin account though but if you know what your doing especially if you trade every day you can make a lot of money.
