Owned a few custom tikkas. You can buy spare bolts from Midwest gun parts but they aren't cheap.

I'd stick to just doing cases that fit the existing bolt head. But then I have ARC and Zermatt actions and bolt heads are 125 to 150, so I just don't want to pay 350 or more for a bolt....

One of the guys who works for me brought his family to a pig roast I did last Friday.

His daughter is second grade… maybe 8 or so?

And a rabid vegan and “friend of all animals” who had a look of horror on her face at meat. Wouldn’t eat anything. Ended up eating grapes from my vines.

Parents said “we’re hoping she’ll
Grow out of it?”

Grow Out of it??? They should be suing the school for every penny the district has. First
Because at that age she needs protein and nutrition. Which I assume her mom who is a PA (PhD nurse) is handling. And if they have her this fucked up at school at this age…. It will only get worse.

These kids are getting brainwashed from kindergarten. And it is appalling. Any school employee pushing this sort of shit should be removed from kids and put on the equivalent of a pedo list and banned from any contact with youth.

This is how they are destroying the nuclear family.

I did the entire NASB on audiobook which was an incredible experience. I started asking questions for a deeper understanding.... I went to the Museum of The Bible in Washington DC and saw all the current versions of the Bible and had more questions.

I have an original Geneva 1560 (purchases from London, printed in 1613, definitely not impact weapon rated), current Geneva 1599, New American Standard Bible (NASB, 2002 ed.), and current print Orthodox Study Bible (NKJV language translation, 2008).

After comparing all to my original print 1560 Geneva I'd highly, highly suggest either the 1599 Geneva and/or Orthodox Study bible for their extensive annotations giving incredible context and historical background. Gives a much, much better understanding. An edge towards the Orthodox Bible due to the fact they have 20% more books in theor Old Testament. In my 1560 Geneva it has "the Apocrypha" which are basically the 20% extra Old Testament books found in the Orthodox Bible. Im a fan of the more information, the better.

Current print 1599 Geneva found here:

Tolle Lege Press • Publishers of the 1599 Geneva Bible

Home of the 1599 Geneva Bible. Tolle Lege Press was founded in 2004 to bring great Christian literature from the past back into print for the modern Church.

tollelegepress.com

Orthodox Study Bible, 2008 available everywhere. This is what you want to look for (hard cover, many pages, impact weapon approved):

Uh. OP mentioned “pre-fit” and I don’t believe that Sako/Tikka are pre-fit suitable and the smith would need the action in hand. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys

But the three outfits mentioned above can do a great job spinning a barrel as can one of my favs, @AccuSol-ERN at Altus or his own shop.

Your definition #1 is the literal definition of the Trump regime. They’re fascists you dumbass, by the very definition of the word.

For each of the clauses of definition 1:

The list of ways Trump has shattered the rule of law to consolidate power is so long it defies imagination. From manipulating the Supreme Court and Congress to outright ignoring the constitution and the system of checks and balances that has stabilized US Government for 250 years, Trump has ONLY done things that concentrate power around him, including normalizing the idea of an American Dictator and suggesting that he will simply not abide by future elections that don’t elect him.
Let’s start with tariffs as the definition of stringent governement control of pseudo-capitalism.
Trump called for his supporters to assault a dissenter at a Trump rally…sounds like violent suppression of opposition to me. Also, his traitorous interview this morning wherein he referred to half the citizenry of the US as “evil”. He will literally be the cause of the next civil war.
“There’s good people on both sides”. Fucking nationalist dick bag.

It’s impossible to read the definition of the term fascist and NOT see the US hurtling toward being the bad guy in world war three. Unless of course you are a Trump supporter…a fascist.

Weary or leery?

Regardless, I get what you’re saying and concur. It’s easy to jump on a bandwagon when it aligns with your inner compass…moreso when it’s a popular position I suppose.

I think the reason you’ll get so much pushback here is that this hits home pretty hard for a lot of folks in this community. We’re all hurting because it wasn’t just Charlie Kirk who was killed, it also snuffed out a lot of the hope we all have (had?) for a brighter future for our kids and grandkids.

Every time we seem to begin turning this ship around and away from the cliff, something like this happens and we lose a little bit of our faith in humanity. I know I do, and have to actively work to keep from getting angry and morose.

Or maybe I’m just drunk and high on the pain pills I’m taking for my fucked up knee! LoL

Yep the German X-fives are really nice, I have an older Tactical and Match and they really are wonderful guns. The US versions are not in the same league. Luckily I got mine before they went crazy in pricing when Sig was banned by Germany from exporting about a decade ago. Back then they were "cheap" because no one in the states would pay $1000+ for a Sig. They were not really ideal for any of the US handgun competitions so I don't think they ever really took off here. I actually bought both of mine at the same gun store in Vegas that had several they could not move for some time, they had an all-around decocker variant I still wish I'd hav bought as well.

The fear with the german X-fives now is parts, there's a few parts that are not shared with the US versions and SIG US has none left, and no ability to service them at all. Extractors probably being the part you hear about breaking most. The run a different recoil rod/spring as well, but there's options around that. Gray guns I think was doing an update for them to use a proprietary extractor for awhile, not sure if they still do.

Well, then there it is. I guess the prosecutor will have to decide if the demands of the public outweigh the requests of the family. I get why they may not want it. And why they might think that "Life without Parole" is a better punishment in re: the defendant themselves. That person would, then, have to live with what they've done for the rest of their lives. This, as opposed to a quick exit where he no longer suffers but his survivors do.

My instinct is that if the crime merits the "forfeiture of life," then it does. And, in Charlie's case, I think it absolutely does.

There is an underlying tone of finality and hopelessness in the way I read your words. I'm probably putting the wrong context into translating your thoughts. Just to be clear, I agree with you that there are MANY that will submit due to fear, laziness, complacency or an easily won evil heart.

I just want to make sure that we maintain faith that the fight is winnable in spite of the well prepared evil that is being unleashed. Out of all the masses, only a few will stand firm in their beliefs but those few need to have that faith intact in order to stand at all.

We train our hands and minds to act a certain way in a gun fight. No training = no way of executing a positive outcome.
Everyone will have to train heart and minds to act a certain way in a spiritual fight. No training = no way of avoiding an eternal hell.

Realizing you have an enemy and that they are already in motion is half of the battle. Hopefully Charlie opened those innocent eyes to the harshness of those hunting their souls. If they now see the threat, they can prepare for the battle.

Not so much hopelessness, rather, having read and studied the Revelation of John, and through the Bible and psychology, the nature of man, I feel I have a pretty good insight as to whats coming, regardless of our highest aspirations and prayers. We may maintain our faith, I wrestle with that daily and often lose, and stand, but as I read and interpret it, this 'world' must pass, its passing wont be pretty, and the time draws near. I dont profess to know when, but it feels closer every day. Thats the reflection of 50+ years of study and equally,mediitation on the Word. If nothing else, with a couple idiotic exceptions, I've seen this place, the Hide, draw together. We may all have different opinions and interpretations, but we all honor the same Lord.

Be well, brother.

This always puts a little tear in my eye.

Then something caused the bullet to ricochet and deflect up to the neck.

And, from the reports I've seen, it wasn't a "direct"shot to the neck. Apparently, the bullet ricocheted off the top of his body armor and penetrated his neck, tearing his carotid artery. I saw a bit of the video. The blood was gushing/pulsating out. That doesn't happen if it's the jugular vein.

Basically do what you have to to keep any ag tax exemptions and lease it to someone in the area to use as is and upkeep the place.

You won't make much in the end but you will keep the place and not lose any money. That is a good deal these days.
