Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I will never understand why this is a life goal for some people.
Imagine if you will, a person trying to break out of the circle of total poverty, and looking for a starting point. You know, the person without a pot to piss in, and the only helping hands are attached to his/her own arms. The first house on the left might look like a life goal at one point in time. Now maybe you can help me to understand why you think the pic fits into "Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes".

March tracking error

Thanks. I'm aware of the mil value change. I'm talking about induced error when doing a box test, one example was 2/10's of a mil off at 10 mils dialed, reticle moved 10.2 mils
I must have missed this thread the first time out.

I saw a video of a guy who did a tracking test on a March scope, I think it was a 3-24X52 but it was a few years back and my memory is fuzzy. However, I do remember that he discovered a 2% deviation with the scope. It seems he was getting .2 MIL more than expected dialing up 10 MIL. During the video, he was explaining his method and how the target was hanging out in his backyard, 100 yards away and he was counting the MILs and the tick marks on the paper. He also said that many scopes were failing the same way, virtually all the big names, so he was not worried overly much. He did express some surprise that some of the cheapo scopes he was testing were dead on, but the big names were almost all wrong.

I immediately figured out his problem, just like most of you here who have just read the above paragraph. I left him a note in the comments of his video. Again, this was a few years back, so don't ask for further details.

/tldr:
He was measuring on a target 100 yards away. It should have been 100 meters. Good times, good times.

I'd argue that was indeed very true, and still to some degree is. While at the same time recognizing, Trump in 2016 began a movement, the Dems went radical left and the reorganization is still occurring. Yes all on bureaucracy but Trump coming in shook things up and made visible loyalties, that the media could no longer hide. Modern social media has connected the world in a way it never has before. And I think its been for the better.

But you know, some may call me a dreamer.
Trump has an R after his name because it was a means to an end. His ego is beyond measurements and he will use anyone and anything to get what he wants. Trump's movement has not caught on with the republicant party. If it had there wouldn't be a need for executive orders and the republicants have control of both houses to pass whatever they want. Trump's movement is a populist movement with the people only. Just like his last term. Everything is just a stroke of the pen to end it. Correlate that to another stolen election where the courts will not do a damn thing to stop.
Do you think that "they" let the houthi bullshit fester for the last 4 years for a reason? The deep state/liberals/rinos and neocons want to entrap Trump into a war with Iran. War is not a populist thing and they will bash Trump every second of it.
Hopefully I am wrong and I hope to not have to revisit this and say I told you so.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Well, go to the video. It says right on it that they create fictional content. It is not even fiction pretending to be true. They tell you, Hey! Attention, this is fiction!
Thank you.
I didn't pick up on the fact that there weren't any. Lol

I watched thier disclaimer / instructions. Not 100% sure how I missed it in the first place.

I thought they ment the audio.

I had an injury to my back. The pain pills didn't take care of it so went to muscle relaxers.

My back is better no more spasms and I can walk this morning, details a little fuzzy.

AR9 trigger help.

There was a time when running a PCC was a pain in the butt. Bolts were cut for either glock mags OR colt mags, but not both. These days, most bolts will accommodate both.

The bolt profile also had an effect on trigger compatibility. What I found the safest route was to stick with milspecish trigger groups. Meaning triggers that use a full power hammer spring. I always stuck with either geissele or some form of schmid. I never had a problem with either.

As for the rest of the build, stick with standard buffer springs. The only reason to go with a heavier spring is if you need it to help with recoil recovery. The spring weight has little to do with the actual closed bolt lock time, for lack of a better term.

When it comes to buffers, avoid solid buffers. You want to use a buffer with sliding weights. This will help with bolt bounce.

A good way to setup a 9mm pcc is to use a vltor A5SH buffer in a standard carbine length buffer tube and grab yourself a few tungsten buffer weights. This will give you a lot of flexibility in tuning.

I do have friends that run hydraulic buffers and they swear that it makes the rig run more smoothly. To me it just feels like the rig is sluggish. I like my rigs to run snappy.
