Anyone know how to remove mothball stink from fabric? A previous owner of my DPM lovingly bugproofed some jackets and pants in the most retarded way possible, mothballs. I've tried Dawn, hot water, cold water, Dawn Powerwash, baking soda, washing soda, vinegar, Ozium, sunlight, you name it. Not a single one worked, only temporarily reduced the smell. My next thought is an ozone generator. Anyone ever try that on clothes?
>>65142446more sunlight. leave it outside for a few days to air out.
Wet it and freeze thoroughly, then dunk in boiling vinegar water, then leave it in the sun. If that doesn't do it you're OOL.
What pistol does Reinikainen have? He never unholstered it.
>>65142446>getting the milsurp smell out of milsurpNot possible
>>65142446>mothball stinkSunlight won't help but airing it out will. You need to let the napthalene evaporate. Leave it out exposed to as much air circulation as possible. Hanging it out on a clothesline is ideal.>>65142740What's any of that nonsense going to do? It sounds like you're just trying random bullshit without understanding of the chemical you are trying to remove.
>>65142457I've aired it out a lot but I'll try more.>>65142869I'm fine with surplus equipment and clothes smell but this is advanced stink. I fucking hate mothball smell. God awful.>>65142878>need to let napthalene evaporateI don't want to fade the pattern by sitting it out in the sun too long (it reeks strong, trust me, it'll need quite some time); maybe I could put a fan on it in the garage or something? If not and it needs the heat of the sun/summer, then clothesline it is.
>>65143148>maybe I could put a fan on it in the garage or something? that would work too. Sunlight isn't important. Warmth is good but not essential. Air circulation is essential.
>>65142853Looks like a Hi-Power to me, look at the rivet in the grip and the protusion of the magazine
>>65142853I think it's this, an FN Model 1910
>>65143195 (me)Shit, I think >>65143215 might be right, I missed the magazine catch, good eye anon
>>65142446Ozone genuinely works although it could destroy the stitching or something. But I guess if it did you could buy another.I might ozone my hunting clothes actually, I got a machine to ozone my car every now and then
>>65143215nice work anon
>>65143215Is 1910 really that small? You could be right, thanks.
I often see crosshairs like this, wtf is wrong with me(exaggerated forr illustration)
>>65143284I guess you could look through with your other eye, if you see it normal it's your eye that's the problem, if it's still kinked I guess it's your brain.Either way it may well be terminal so get your affairs in order
What would getting shot with 20mm look like? Is it 'just' a big bullet wound or would there be concussive effects/hydrostatic shock that would make it worse?
>>65143279>Is 1910 really that small?yeah
>>65143172I'll see how that goes. I have a couple spare fans and could set one up.>>65143255Yeah I'm worried I'll fuck it up somehow. Old polyester thread is a brittle picky fucker that fails at the worst time as-is, let alone after exposure to ozone.>hunting clothesMight not be a bad idea for electric vests and jackets once a year. I just hate knowing I have to wash them at some point. Sure, you can. But a USB powered heater in a jacket going in the wash feels so wrong and I've straight up rinsed PCBs like The8BitGuy before. Being in fabric makes it a little more prone to holding water.>>65143284IIRC I used to see my Leupold like that. I don't even think it's a wire reticle so unless the etching is fucked in its design I think it's just my brain worrying after seeing countless wire reticles all fucked at gunshows etc.
How "tacticool" can I make the Marlin Guide Gun? Seems to be the cheapest of their lines and I want to Space Cowboy it.
Bros, I need to start pinching pennies haaaard. I dont wanna sell my gun tho and actually want to keep shooting. Is it possible to eat on 5 bucks a day? I want to throw more money at ammo and I see that I spend around 11 bucks a day on food.
>>65144071Don't sell your gun, but stop shooting get a raise or a better job.
>>65144071>Is it possible to eat on 5 bucks a day?salt, beans, rice, potato, onions maybe a little meat.you dont need all of them at the same time.'or just live off costco hotdogs
>>65144071Three squares or just one/two meals a day?Lentils are a good place to start no matter what.If you haven't already done this price compare your grocer to others in your area. Sanity check against distance and ghettoness to your own standard.Grocery surplus like grocery outlet is great if one's in your area.Eat soups with bread or crackers.For meats, when you eat them, stick with pork and dark meat chicken. Do not buy cheap farmed tilapia/swai/catfish/ ANYTHING farmed from SE asia.Buy ham after the holidays. Buy more than one if you have the freezer for it
>>65144090Working on it>>65144125>costco hotdogsCostco is too far by bus, i have bought little sacks of all the things you mentioned except onions, I just have two medium red onions.>>65144196I eat twice a day, breakfast then lunch.I'll check out more soups but I was cautious of their salt content.
>>65144228Unless it's a good sale, canned soup is generally expensive for what you get nutritionally and as you noted, high in sodium.It's convenience food.Making your own soup is where you really see the power of soup and you naturally have control over the sodium level.You won't need to pack it so full of salt because you aren't expecting it to travel across the land and keep for years.Even if you're not much of a cook there's plenty you can do with a crockpot or an electric pressure multicooker.>But anon those cost moneyNot as much as you think if you shop around and they'll more than pay for themselves in time.A pressure multicooker will be more expensive than a basic crockpot but they go on deep sales frequently and they're very versatile. Not to mention far quicker than a crock pot
>>65144196Grocery Outlet BARGAIN MARKETTTTTTTTTTTTTSeriously though, pennies on the dollar for quality stuff plus good cheap house brands. $30 a week is doable with strict meal planning and stocking up.
What is the advantage of the twisting stock system for the Benelli/XM1014?
>>65142446Take it to morgue and wrap it around a dead body, it will still stink, just not of mothballs. A live jeet will work too.
>>65144497I've had good luck with Arrest My Vest getting weird smells out of uniform items that can't be easily washed. It's not cheap but it's an option.
On the topic of cleaning milsurp gear whats the best way to get rid of ducttape residue and possibly motor oil stains. Hopefully motor oil
>>65144071>Is it possible to eat on 5 bucks a day?Easily. You can eat very well on $5 a day, in fact. Learn to cook, and throw as little away as possible.A fantastic poverty meal is chicken vegetable soup. Buy a whole chicken or get one of those cheap rotisserie chickens that's already been cooked. Get a pound of pasta, a couple carrots, onions, maybe another few basic cheap vegetables. That's several good wholesome meals for maybe $10 total.Dry rice and beans are your friends. They don't cost much and they are very nutritious. Add a little bit of meat, fish, veggies to round out the meal and keep it less boring.Many local supermarkets have a discount section where they sell day-old bakery products or soon-to-expire meat/produce at a big discount. Watch for these, there are often great deals to be had.Learn to make stock. There's good reason it's one of the first sections in many classic cookbooks. It's delicious, nutritious, and very economical. Don't throw away bones from meat, poultry, or fish: make stock which you can then use to make soups, sauces, etc.
>>65144563>ducttape residue and motor oilhave it dry-cleaned. Those both require petroleum solvents to remove.
>>65143305>>65143949maybe we can perceive imperfections others cant, maybe we are a special kind of retarded and brainworms did some damage, I'm less worried now that I know it's not just me
>>65144228>I'll check out more soups but I was cautious of their salt content.It's very hard to find a premade soup that's not a sodium bomb. Some of the premium brands aren't that bad but they are so expensive that it defeats the point. The real key behind soup that is cheap, nutritious, and economical is to cook it on bones or to use stock you've previously made from bones & scraps. That gives the flavor without the salt. Like the other anon suggested, get a crock pot or a pressure cooker, this will unlock the ability to make awesome soup from cheap ingredients and leftovers. It's useful for more than just that, it's also handy for making things like pulled pork, pot roast, etc. Those can be great economical dishes to make when the meat goes on sale.
>>65144718The diet you're proposing is short on protein and fibre and uses beans as a crutch for both. $5 a day is enough to survive, but not to eat well. Eating well means not being forced to eat significant quantities of poverty foods like beans, rice, lentils, etc every day to.avoid malnutrition.>t. a very good cook, and on a budget
>>65144757I didn't propose an entire diet. I threw out some beginner ideas for anon to get started with the assumption that he'd do research on his own.>poverty foods like beans, rice, lentilsThe fact that you call these "poverty" foods and talk about being "forced" to eat them tells me that no, you're not a very good cook at all.Anyway, it's not my intent to detail this into a cooking thread, the point I was trying to get across is that if you cook from scratch you can make food that is economical, delicious, and nutritious compared to buying prepared foods. I doubt you disagree with me on that.
>>65144781>I doubt you disagree with me on that.No, I don't, I just disagree that you can eat well on $5 a day. I think you're just setting people who don't know cooking up for frustration by telling them that they can. You could do three people well for $15, but you can't do one well for $5.>poverty foodsI can cook all of those things well, but they're OK ingredients to use now and again unless otherwise forced. As staples in a western diet, they suck donkey dick.The advice you should be giving (and >>65144071 take this as my advice to you, other than tempering your expectations about what a $5 diet is going to be like), other than the correct stocks, soups and more vegetables advice that's already been given is organ meat and cheap sauce fundamentals.Organ meat is extremely delicious if you learn to cook properly, develop a taste for it and learn what you like, and it's better for you in almost every way than muscle. People not knowing how to cook organ meat, nor developing a taste for it, is probably the biggest contributor to poor people getting locked into shitty diets (aside from time poverty/shit time preference and the same of vegetables).Learning to turn the oil and fond left in your pan into calorific and extremely tasty sauces using very little more than flour and water or stock is an essential skill for any home cook. This is the most essential generic and non-trivial "cooking" skill to develop, and makes otherwise anemic or mediocre dishes very robust and tasty. Someday when you're not poor, you'll buy a decent french cook book and apply the fundamentals you learned to better ingredients and more time, and you'll basically have unlocked the cooking super power of saucing.
>>65144822>You could do three people well for $15, but you can't do one well for $5.Cooking single portions is a fool's errand if you are trying to save money. You cook larger batches with multiple portions at a time, eat one portion immediately, then you refrigerate/freeze/etc the rest for later, or you repurpose the leftovers into other dishes.>but they're OK ingredients to use now and again unless otherwise forcedThis is why I think you're a bad cook. Things like lentils and beans are the ultimate blank slate. You telling me they are merely "okay" is like a painter telling me he doesn't know what to do with a bare canvas. >Organ meat is extremely delicious if you learn to cook properlyDarn right it is.>extremely tasty sauces using very little more than flour and water or stock is an essential skill for any home cookWhy'd you think I made such a big deal about stock? Protip: that's also how you make your lentils taste amazing. Then you won't be "forced" to eat them.
>>65142446Man this isn't /k/ but my mom threw mothballs under her dishwasher and even after vacuuming them out a month ago the whole house still reeks like them every time I visit.
Should I do it?
>>65142446>Disruptive Pattern Material, design of 1995Has there ever been a camouflage pattern as aesthetic as the 'backflipping ninjas' the Brits used to use?
Is there a decent safe that doesn't weigh a shit ton that I can actually store a decent amount of shit in?
>>65143148>I don't want to fade the patternTurn the garment inside out.Also airing it out for a looong time in the shade (like in a well-ventilated garage or attic, or on the north side of a house) should eventually bring results. Elevated temperature helps with getting rid of smell, too, so attic in the summer might actually be the way to go.t. used to hang clothes reeking of cigarette smoke after going to the pub over a radiator to get rid of the smell
>>65144071Seconding >>65144304 but local discount stores. Not chains. You're going to have to scour google maps, etc. and find some. Usually those places get damaged cases/pallets, near expiration, and lost/misplaced shipment stuff. Not uncommon to get US made stuff printed for a completely different country in some other language at those kind of places. Can be amusing to find regular products in Spanish (usually Mexican products), funny squiggly Thai characters, Cyrillic, etc. Sometimes imported, sometimes for export. The food can be real cheap, just have to be picky and consider prices. Also, >>65144718 day old bakery bread is great. If you can find cheese-topped toasted bread rolls, that shit is basically a meal on its own reheated w/ butter. Also, watch some Atomic Shrimp on YT. He gets creative w/ cheap food.>>65144398As someone who played with an M4 not too long ago in a LGS, I have one thing to say:>twisting>???
>>65144563>duct tape gooGoo gone? Never used it on fabric.>hopefully motor oilShout? I use Shout and a toothbrush and a little water. It takes some work and you'll be at it for a while but I have even dulled the ink staining from a broken pen on used BDUs, but not fully removed it. Helps get out oil marks from bike chains and stuff too. Then maybe Tide, unscented, for further scent removal. Might want to also rub that in a little right before washing. Everything else is so highly scented it drives me nuts.>>65145366Can't unsee now>>65146079>inside outOh man I'm retarded>atticOh man I'm REALLY retarded. Thanks anon.
Think it's retarded to get a leather butt stock cover with cartridge loops on the side, if it's for a modern bolt-action rifle with a synthetic stock? I always love how they look, but it seems like it's a wood stock lever action, or safari gun thing.
>>65146225do whatever you want. being concerned about what other people think is gay.
>>65142446Has anyone else lost their love for firearms and if so how did you recover it?I have 10 and I haven’t fired any of them in about a year. Got out hunting one weekend but didn’t see any deer last fall. I routinely still practice drawing and dry firing my concealed every other week like i always have but that’s about it. I just hate signing myself up for more work and I know if i go to the range my autism will kick in and i’ll want to deep clean whatever i fire.
>>65146225Dye it black if you want the tacticool look, or get one made from fabric rather than leather.
