Just be careful you don't turn it into an unintentional radiator. Unfortunately a fair amount of these LED lights are noisy with RF. The length of wire can act as an antenna.... make us hams angry :)

Haven't had a TV in years... 6 or 7 now. We watch movies sometimes on Amazon or rent a RedBox DVD. Honestly don't miss it a bit. I don't know how we'd find the time to watch TV anyway! :)

I don't have the lever action, but I do have the AR-7 and it is well made. I have handled the lever action in the store and I know a couple of people who have them. Action is very good and those that own them tend to love them.

My grandfather had a saying: "When you play with poo, you end up smelling like it." (except he didn't say "poo" ;) )

Yes, he should have known the tenant laws when he bought the house, but sometimes the $$$ just isn't worth it.

It landed in a box behind me. I knew nothing till my ass got hot and the room had a strange glow. I got that...
