I have Amazon Prime and the movie “1984” is not available for free, but at a rental price. “Beirut” is free for Amazon Prime.

Actually, a few days ago, Amazon added 1984 to their free library for Prime members.

I just connected to the link again and still is not free for Prime, so I did a search for ‘1984’ and the same movie with a different cover is free streaming for Prime. [19]

The link provided displays a version that isn’t free, the free one is found by a search for ‘1984″, same movie, different cover.

I think MTM ammo cans were recommended previous on here. I bought a bunch and am happy with them. Got the 4 can crates and also their magazine cases. Labeled the top of each. All ammo is very organized now.

For ammo storage , have some of the single MTM boxes a few years old, but they still do like new,they hold heavy loads, can hold a lot of loose ammo without the bottom giving way, at first I was concerned about the plastic not being strong enough but they have done great, I stack these next to my old military steel ammo cans,I am pleased with both. Be prepared and ready. Keep your powder dry.
