You're a good man for putting that out there. I stupidly waited 17 years from my nexus (artillery & 1st Iraq safari) to get my 0% for hearing loss, but hey--free hearing aids. It was always a struggle to understand what people were saying, especially if there was any low background din, unless...

Accuracy through volume; sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.

If everyone was packed as densely as NYC, where would all of the acre plots be located? Alaska has 570,640.95 square miles of land, which equates to ~365 million acres. We're short the 7.8 billion acres by about 7.4 billion.

But have you read it in the original Klingon?

These guys tested a .308 with a 6' barrel, cutting it down a bit at a time to 19" with the TL;DR results below:

It's like a BAR and a 10/22 had a child.

Here is the study to which this refers. This research was conducted in the late 80s into the 90s, and is fascinating. Old Testament literalists like to have this study in their citations toolbox as it infers natural oil formation is possible on a "thousands of years" timescale, rather than the...

Still being used in today's war(s):

Regardless of Biden's voter fraud and whatever else the DNC did to cheat, this meme is 100% misleading.

Reloading classmates? Bestest gunnit

This you? Just looking for what you paid forward after this. Separately, we can assume you never took up @Varmint's nuisance permit offer. You're jamming up this thread with your policing, though it appears you need someone checking up on you, too. Keep it civil, ffs.

I'm wondering if even just a handful of people from each town/city in NY could make this change catch on. They would have access to a huge stack of the "gun-friendly/guns welcome" signs, going about their normal daily/weekly/monthly/etc business while asking each store they visit if they want...

$35.28 with free shipping to NY direct from the distributor's website. Use discount code "CV05" for an extra $5 off.

So... I did a thing. I took a page out of @Kent Goldings' book, and will join him with the Rear Det at Normandy HQ. I have to say, I have no regrets, and this thing looks purty next to its Underwood grandpa. Can't wait to take it out to the range, though I have zero (no pun intended)...

It seems that the cleaner you are, the more "suspect" you seem. Probably because they've tried to set up the system with its myriad laws to intentionally entrap every good citizen somehow, and are perplexed when some people remain untainted. </tinfoil hat>

Not to burst your bubble, but this is how my logo displays on a desktop using Chrome v. 103.0.5060.114, with color mode Basic Dark. The other color modes do appear correctly, however, so thank you for your work!

In my own anecdotal experience, I never used to get delays in Massachusetts. Had an LTC no restrictions/all lawful purposes, yadda yadda. Then did a personal xfer once maybe 5 year back for an FN49 Turk (old school surplus rifle) at an FFL and got a delay. Then got a proceed in a couple days...

That is so freakin awesome that it's making me want to buy another 10/22 to do this! For extra "wtf" factor, I can display it between my real M1 Carbine and the other 10/22. Sweet setup (I even like the tri-mag)!

Straw purchasers and drug dealers are scumbags and get zero sympathy from me. But the problem I have with these headlines are the vilification of: sporting rifles (assembled or not), quantity of a protected item outlined in the Bill of Rights, and the goddamn fucking asinine description of body...

The only government you can trust.

I choose pistols at dawn.

I may be incorrect, but not absolutely. To your point, objective morality may only exist in limited amounts. What I think is right, you may think is wrong. Or, what both of us think is right (or wrong) may be for completely different reasons. Therefore not everything can be filed into...

But then there are some people that believe two wrongs make a right. Someone steals their things? They steal someone else's things. In American culture, this is not generally accepted because stealing is against the law. But that person might feel better from their theft, which is justified...

The problem with this argument that you borrowed (and I respect Penn and his political talking points immensely) is that this assumes objective morality. How is it there isn't a source for morality -- that it just is?

To oversimplify ALL of this and other posts: the only numbers that matter between the comparator and the seating dies is the delta (change in) measurement (bullet type specific).

If I didn't have any morals, the money would be rolling right in. You know how many 9mm I have? Hundreds. Literally... hundreds. :sob: (Obscure reference: )

Got a pretty great gift today from my sister who knows me pretty well, obviously: I plan on using it someday if the end times are near and they start actually saying something about me being maskless (I have yet to be asked to put on a mask while I go about my business in box stores).

Antarctica is a desert.

While a sensationalist meme and poorly written, it is stating that the Earth's population could fit into the area of Alaska if it were as population dense as NYC. The acre-per-person is referring to "habitable land" on Earth, not Alaska. While estimates of "habitable land" that discount...

Username doesn't check out. :laughing:

First photo is from when I mounted the reproduction Springfield 1861 that I inherited from my late uncle. Second photo is her dressed up in the Christmas spirit.

Our useless group HR (I've personally witnessed her literally wearing a mask while alone in her vehicle, while around town away from work) sometimes sends passive-aggressive emails with "everyone" on blind copy about the safety of these things. I've had insider looks of emails forwarded to me...

@TPatriot's avatar!

I currently have around 100 rounds for it. About 2/3 of the monograph covers customized tooling for dis/assembly and reloading, and includes a few vendors that carry projectiles and brass. Appreciate the info on Jamison brass, I believe Graf & Sons carries them. I already have a full set of...

Among the items I had acquired from my late uncle was an early production Winchester Model 07 in .351 SLR (photo below). As I knew absolutely nothing about the rifle or caliber, other than how obscure it was to me, I sought out to find as much information as I could. I'm a small collector of...

I'm bad at being punctual with these posts. I got this weeks ago, but after waiting only 1.5 months for it to be built (actually not sarcasm) the missus and I are the new owners of a 2022 MDX. We're going to need the extra cargo space in a few months when the little gal in the photo can't be...

The only way that's not a 10 is if you shot something smaller than .30". Those holes are all folded in, I bet if you held a bullet or calipers to it, it would be way over the line.

My plan is to use them for my 300 Blackout AR. Like @gun_slinger_boy said, they're harder primers to prevent slam fires with free floating firing pins (no spring retention) like in the AR and even the M1 Garand. These hardly ever occur unless there are other discrepancies like a poorly seated...

They saw the crosshairs on his neck tattoo and couldn't help but to try for a "Hathcock". :rifle::tommy:

Is that your trigger thumb? :jk: Here's hoping for fast healing!

I guarantee that you will. This is a nice welcome to the forum, and looking through past challenges, I appreciate what you've been doing for all of these years @dsdmmat. @TPatriot has only just caught the shooting bug (from me, I admit), and I know that these postal matches are exactly what...

This needs more love! I have a thing for antique and surplus rifles with a story, typically told through their stocks. As such, when I need to make a stock repair, I try to make it visible to add to the character of the rifle. Not trying to derail, but in the spoiler tag below I have my FN-49...

I use CAD (SolidWorks 2019, PTC Creo 4.0) for work, so I was planning on converting from the STEP files and mirroring parts using that software. I also planned on making any modifications as needed, both cosmetic and functional. I don't personally own a 3D printer, but my friend has a few that...

I may use these and see if I can modify the 3D models for a left hand ejection port. This will be a "lifesaver" if I can do this successfully (for @TPatriot at least). Unsurprisingly, I have not been able to find any LH ejection port loaders anywhere. Mean Arms explicitly state on their...

Here's another:

"Local" as in New York. Allstar Tactical is in Rochester, about 2.5 hours away from me. Unless you're referring to "Southern Tier" under my avatar.
