Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Snuby642
Don't worry the same stupid sons of rabid bitches will make up something new to cry about while we sleep.

It will be there for us to laugh at with our morning coffee sure as the sun will rise.

They never shut the fuck up.

They will bitch about President Donald Trump for the rest of thier useless fucking lives long after he leaves office.

And life is good . He is making them spaz daily. Getting my votes worth everytime I see them cry.

Eat shit and die liberal whores.

My WalMart Helos arrived today. I am seriously impressed with this thing… only cons, without taking it to the range of course, are stiff illum and parallax knobs and it is not daylight bright. Other than that it checks every box I was looking for…comes with all the goods too.

Bought one of these from wally world as well, been thinking about trying one and the price drove me too it. Haven't had great luck with Athlon optics in the past but this seems really nice for the $$. The illumination however is way too stiff. Had to put pliers on it to get it to turn, worked it for a few minutes and it's loosened up somewhat, can at least do it without pliers now. Was a little worried about the center dot being too large based on some reviews but seems fine to me for the use of the optic. Why can't someone make this optic in a Japanese made scope and sell it for 1k? Glass wouldn't need to be much "better" just a slightly higher fit and finish of the end product...... Still for the $$$ paid seems like a great bargain

What is it Worth? Older Leupold Mark 4 10x

I actually have 3 FN SPRs. Two of which have been rebarreled, and one of those is as close to looking like a GA Precision Crusader as I could make it (one of those wants from 20 years ago :LOL: ).

When I was doing my tour at the Pentagon, I'd frequently make my way to the NRA museum to look at the guns for something free and interesting to do. In the GWOT case was an M40A1 among other rifles. I always had to stop and look at that M40A1. I've got the ca 2008 USO MST-100 in hand as well as the mount...I'm waiting on the rifle build. I know that guys go crazy over sourcing actual parts to put on these, and I think that is awesome. I'm just after the clone, and saving some money in the process if possible (if there is such a thing).

With the scope in question that started this thread...I will end up with (3) .308/7.62x51s that all have 10x fixed magnification optics. That is just a touch redundant to me.

I managed to acquire most of the rifles I wanted from a couple decades ago though (Surgeon, GAP [inbound], AI, and a TRG).

Build you a 24 clone to go along with the m40a1.

so it appears that a t-shirt costs the equivalent of the hourly wage ($2/hour in china) and roughly 1/2 the hourly wage here ($36/hour).

Bingo. Now Let’s do Nike shoes.

Believe or not, there is a company that sells costume lingerie that comes from China next to my operation. It’s a ridiculous, narcissistic business but they have done well. The ongoing economic problems here have caused them to slow down before the tariffs. I expect them to shutter soon.

MIG Welder Questions

Buck Wilde said:
I have a Lincoln, but I got a Harbor Freight Titanium Unlimited 200 because its 120/240, it does stick and DC TIG as well as MIG, and because I wanted it. I haven't used the Lincoln in years. The Titanium's torch is nimbler.

I was willing to risk a short warranty because I know a little about electronics, and I figured I could fix the welder if it had a Chinese seizure on me.

I have had no problems at all with this welder. They also sell a 170-amp MIG that goes 120 or 240 for $549. Coupons sometimes appear.

There is a lot to be said for getting good with a stick welder, though. I have not managed it because I have not practiced enough.

In case anyone cares, I highly recommend avoiding factory-made welding carts. I built rolling frames that held US General tool carts, and they are wonderful.
