Anyone use a professional money/investment manager? What has been your experience?

As the title says, I'm looking to get some real world feedback from folks who use or have used professional money/investment management services. Based on the number of TacOps, AI and MRAD shooters here, there must be a decent few of you 🤣 Alternatively if you work in this line of work, I'd love to pick your brain privately.

I'm pretty fortunate to make a pretty decent living and have always lived below my means. I've mainly been saving cash and maxing out retirement plans, but over the last several years have been investing in equities. My original plan was to split $XXXX per month between DJIA, QQQ and SPY index funds, with lesser amounts going towards some other ETFs and individual equities I thought had promise.

With the markets only going up and VIX staying low, however, I've been putting off the investments into index funds worried that a sharp correction is coming.

I've realized that it may be in my best interest to hand this job over to someone else and have been speaking with a JP Morgan private client banker and investment manager. They do seem to have put together a pretty solid plan for managing all aspects of my finances and attaining life goals but now we're at the make-a-decision phase and I'm a bit resistant to change, so getting cold feet. I was thinking some real world feedback may help me come to a decision.

Is there a # of rounds needed for a new 22 to possibily tighten up?

I have a new ruger precision 22... I know some shoot and some are so so... but Ive got around 100-150 on it now, cleaned it when I got it and once more after 100...

It will shoot cci sv in a very small hole at 50 yards, and then it wont... and then it will, then itll be so so.. then bad, then good... So it can shoot, but not consistently. I even tried the foil tape bedding crap, didnt really help anything.

Should I be looking at a new barrel to gain the consistency? Or should I run a few hundred down it first?

10 indicted in torture beating death of handcuffed man.



In addition to the beatings, defendants with depraved indifference, did nothing to restrain each other, did nothing to stop the beatings and failed to immediately order medical assistance for Mr. Brooks," the indictment said.

Also charged with GANG ASSAULT- this could be a new trend when a GANG beats someone to death no matter the colors they wear

A money quote from the article - Only took 96 days to decided that 12 men beating a handcuffed man- TWICE is murder but I guess better late than never.

17 corrections officers a few real cops and several medical personnel just stood around and watched -

First article I could find not behind a paywall- I’m not a regular nbc reader.

Be the way everyone seems to be shitting their pants over this guy - the the axe he has to grind against these people it should be Highly entertaining if nothing else . The first fbi director in at least my life time that’s not a bought and paid for criminal syndicate asshole .

WTF Sweden???


Best part is the last portion of the article:

“Let this be a harsh, painful lesson for every EU citizen: your traditions, your culture, and your way of life are always just one refugee away from total annihilation”

This applies to the US as well.

Members of violent transnational gang arrested


In NY for selling guns and drugs - immediately released from custody.
I’d love to see everyone involved in this get arrested and charged with supporting a terrorist organization.

I wonder if normal native born citizens get the same treatment from cops and courts in NY on gun and drug charges ?

Gunsmithing Broken Hex Bit

When attemptin to install an adjustable gas block last night I went to remove the screw from my original gas block and manage to snap the end of the hex bit in the set screw. The first set screw came out with no issue by the second one is stuck tight. I am looking for any suggestions on how to get the broke tip out of the set screw so that I can remove it. It was a Brownells magna tip hex bit if that makes a difference. I am going to call Brownells today to see about getting the bit replaced.

Is this normal for a custom action?

In a few words: with those tight tolerances, there is a certain way i have to push the bolt forward, otherwise i get some resistance to the point that the bolt gets almost stuck. If I push in a certain way, the cycling is fine and pretty smooth.
With the few bolt actions i used during the years (cz 527 and bergaras b14s) the bolt was much sloppier but almost in any way you run the bolt, it worked.

The bolt is clean and the action is clean, too. What i am gonna describe happens with and without lube.
The action is a defiance deviant ga hunter and the finish is the original black one that defiance applies on the bolt and on the action itself. It is mounted via the proprietary manners mini chassis on a manners stock. It uses aics mags. I asked for the standard tolerances that defiance applies, i didn't ask for the increased clearance bolt.

The action runs pretty smooth with and without the magazine inserted qhen there are no rounds in it. It just gets stuck when not pushing in a straight forward way, especially when applying leverage on the bolt, resulting in force being put more towards the side of the bolt.
When pushing straight or, better, applying some force towards the non bolt side, it runs smoothly.
With live cartidges it is more or less the same but the cycling is smooth only if i push in a certain way, there is less margin of error when chambering a round. If i don't push in the correct way, the bolt gets a lot of resistance. If i push strongly it works anyway, if I push slowly but applying the force in a correct, more centered or towards the opposite side of the bolt, again, it works.

Is this normal for a new custom action? Maybe i am just used to sloppy factory bolts which gives more margin in the cycling process.
