Is it recommended to run an alcohol soaked patch through your barrel as the last step in the barrel cleaning process?

So lots of talk last few days after the Heritage foundation discovered that the only document Biden signed as president was the one where he quit the race.

Every single other bill and executive order was signed with an auto pen.

As folks are saying, whoever controlled the auto pen controlled the presidency And people are coming forward to say that Biden didn’t remember signing things even days after they were signed.

So the chatter is all about whether auto pen signing of bills is actually legal. Or whether Biden‘s entire history of executive orders and signing legislation is vacated.

I suspect it’s a Supreme Court question. Or is it? What’s the precedent? What’s the law? If it says the president has to sign bills for them to become law. If the president doesn’t sign it then how can an order or piece of legislation be valid?

Somehow, I think overturning an entire presidency might get a little bit weird constitutionally. Then again that’s what the constitution is for!!

Does an auto pen controlled by someone who is not the president suffice for executive orders, pardons and Bills?

Is there a precedent? For example, when Woodrow Wilson was president following his stroke, his wife pretty much ran the presidency. Does that constitute a precedent that would allow Jill or some staffer to use the auto pen?

Love to know what our legal minds think!!

this could go in the Ukraine thread but it goes to my more gen ? i know it is early in the trump admin,that there are many huge probs he inherited,i know he is getting insane push back from the left. i still have a concern about several things,this being 1. Putin has said no temp cease fires only some final result on acceptable terms to him. that makes sense in context here.
IMHO any aid to Ukraine at all should be stopped now and forever. resuming mil and intel aid seems like a red flag waved at Russia. can't see how this aids a peace deal. we should stop all aid and offer to broker a deal-nothing else.
of course all "aid" should be stopped going everywhere. we are way more than broke. we need funding here,which is a separate discussion. RFK backing off on MMR vaccine is another ? i have.
grabbing a few thousand illegals is under achievement i think. i have lost a lot of confidence in many of his chosen helpers.
it just appears that many campaign commitments to action have gotten sluggish.
is this being unrealistic and hoping to see too much sooner than possible? yea,i know my concerns are of no importance to the rulers.

The rifle is a Bergara b14 hunter, I used it hunting for many years, it took rain, fog, snow amd blizzards. After an hunt in rough weather i always cleaned the bore but I have to admit i never babied it. Since I go hunting at least 30 times per year and i take one animal more or less everytime, sometimes hunting 3 times a week during autumn and winter, of course it was impossible to clean the bore to bare metal everytime i shot. I preferred to keep accuracy and POI consistent keeping the barrel fouled. I stored it always in a humidity controlled room. There is absolutely no surface rust, even where the finish of the rifle went totally off for rubbing against the backpack or against my body. It has shot more or less 500 .308 win factory rounds and it is still very accurate, shooting easily 0.3 MOA with a couple factory loads.

After all these years i decided to clean the bore to bare metal since this rifle is going to retire for a while and it will be used only occasionally from now on.

I found this spot with what looks like pitting/corrosion more or less 15 inches from the chamber (it is a 22 inch barrel). There are a few other spots looking like this but smaller than this one in the same area of the bore. The rifling looks good in the rest of the bore and it wasn't difficult at all to clean all the fouling and copper.

I am not worried about this because the rifle shoots very well and this spots are not located in the most critical portion of the bore but i am curious about what could have caused this. It is a button rifled barrel and it was the first time i borescoped it.

Thanks for the input guys!

Wife and I watched it last night, both thoroughly enjoyed it. Both of us thought it was well written and casted (wife is a big fan of Neal McDonough so getting her to watch wasn't too hard)

For such a small company, Angel Studios has really been putting out some damn good movies...Sound Of Freedom, The Shift, Bonhoeffer....all been damn good watches.

Looking forward to watching Homestead: The Series, looks to be a good continuation of the movie.

There are few creatures as beautiful or as deadly as the cobra.






Naturally, men of our stock are attracted to such critters and for millennia have asked themselves "if only I could harness that beauty & lethality"...and our ancestors have forever thus tried to tame the beast only to find out generations later that the cobra cannot be tamed and once more-we found out that they're quite prolific and reproduce far faster than anticipated.

Did you know a single cobra can lay between 10-30 eggs? I didn't before going down this noble endeavor and before I knew what was happening- I was left with a snake pit as deadly as they are beautiful...








I sought to my elders, I looked towards our ancestors on how I could possibly reign in this den of cobras and wield their strengths while understanding their potential for harm and also appreciating their beauty and suddenly a solution was presented from of all places but the jungles of Vietnam...

I needed a bonafide snake-eater to watch over the rapidly growing snake pit... I searched high & low and found myself a true champion to watch over my flock...







Pictured above is my snake pit- a CCO, Kobra Carry & Kobra Gov't along with my latest addition to the Ed Brown Collection, a Gov't Special Forces model.

Finally, getting around to watching the movie Reagan that came out last year.

Well, it’s a little bit campy. It’s actually really well done and worth watching.

A lot of it comes from the biography Dutch. Which was an adequate book.

It is absolutely worth watching. And definitely kind of a feel good movie for those of us who grew up revering Reagan and morning in America.

For those who want to see a great biography, before our American experience documentary from PBS is actually superb. And free on Amazon prime. Unfortunately not on YouTube anymore.

But the movie is well worth watching!!

Aero Solus, obsidian fluited bolt action, barreled action. 20" proof carbon sendero Proof prefit. 10 twist. Exactly 30 rounds of Norma 180gr Bondstrike ammo through the rifle. Shoots that ammo in a 5 round group under an inch for the one quick 5 round group I shot with it. Haven't tried anything else through it. Has the MM M1 self timing brake on it also. This is as new as it gets for a used rifle with no damage or wear.

$sold delivered to your FFL. Firm. Trigger can be left in it for $170 additional. (Not for sale by itself) It's a Trigger tech 2 stage Special, pro curved, black. Trigger has same round count on it as the action/barrel. This is another personal rifle of mine so no CC on this one. Can do Venmo, zelle, PPFF.

2 more cases of that bondstrike 180gr ammo also available for $265 a case delivered too. Steal for that ammo and how well it shoots. Normally over $100 more then that a case.

I’m putting together a 22 rimfire will be using a Vudoo action with DI precision barrel. Mounted to a MPA matrix pro chassis. I’m not doing any type of competition shooting but looking to get out there 300 yds or so. That are you guys using for a scope.

Sunday night, Jamie White's body was found in the parking lot of his apartment in Austin, the victim of an apparent homicide. He was a fearless attack journalist for Alex Jones and InfoWars.

There's no suspects or much detail at this point. White was vocal about Austin's DA and Soros plant, Jose Garza.

I currently have a 22" MTU V22 I picked up used here on RFC. It shoots great and has served me well but, it just doesn't balance as well as I'd like in my MDT chassis. I have all the internal and external weights attached to my chassis and it just barely balances forward of the magwell.

My question is, what would you do? Would you pull the MTU and have a custom (longer & heavier) barrel spun up or pick up a new barreled action from DI or Nedved precision?

If I rebarrel I'm looking at $1175+tax/ship from DI precision for a 25" 1.25" Straight MullerWorks 13 Twist. I have no clue what my old barrel would be worth? Are there better or equally as good options for less $$?

If I buy new from DI Precision or Nedved I'll upgrade to the 360 action and sell my current V22 barreled action. It's $2800+tax/ship for the DI build with the same 25" MullerWorks barrel or $2290+tax/ship with a 24" Bartlein (I assume) 1.2" straight.

Will the 24" 1.2"be enough to balance an MDT ACC elite with a honking Razor G3 on top? I'd love to shed some of the internal/external weights and run a lighter set-up that still balances. It adds ~1.4 lbs and moves it's own center of balance (not the rifle itself) forward 2". The 25" 1.25" straight add yet another pound and another 0.5" further forward.

Is the $510 price difference between DI and Nedved worth it? What am I really gaining other than the choice of a longer/heavier barrel?

22" MTU ~6.0 lbs

24" 1.2" Straight ~7.4 lbs

25" 1.25" Straight ~8.4 lbs

I run a LE Wilson expander die for 6GT. The only size the mandrel comes in, from Wilson is .242. I want to try a couple different tensions, but they don't make variable sizes. Anybody know who make different sizes that would work with the Wilson die body without switching to a new body?
