300 Norma long action TCS. Impact 787 Action. 28" 8 twist, 245gr at 2940fps. To the best of my knowledge, I believe there were only 2 long action TCS stocks made.

Talk about a unicorn, I didn’t even know a LA TCS ever existed.

Left hand Defiance Ruckus tactical. Standard/308 bolt, 90 degree bolt lift. Roughly 2500 rounds on it. New firing pin spring and bolt stop installed 500 rounds ago for preventative maintenance. This is a pre buyout action. Not sure if that matters to anyone.

$1100 shipped. Your FFl must except transfers from individuals.

No trades please.

Involuntary manslaughter means homey that caught the charges probably F-ed up, but on accident. Going back to my days of being 19 and carrying a loaded M9 all day at work (armory)... I can assure you that the maturity wasn't there yet.

$5 says if this new story is true, that safety rule #2 was probably willingly violated, and dude got really scared and knew of the other instances.

$5 more says that when I was 19, there were a couple sentries playing fast draw games with an M9 on base... and one kid got ventilated and died. We had a safety stand-around for that even though it was not right where I was at. That sounds like a possibility for these new circumstances.

$10 says that one of my fellow platoon sergeants (different company) handed his M9 to his crew chief (Corporal) in Iraqistan to watch while he went inside a building for a few minutes (inside the wire). The kids (Marines) on the vehicle screwed around with that M9 until one of them took a round through the calf. I can't remember who shot who, but I still remember their names. That was the Wild West days of Fallujah.

Etc... etc...

I've got stories for days...but we already have one Lucky Duck.

I have no dog in the P320 fight, other pistols fit my hand much better.

I'm also hoping that some kid didn't get ended by his buddy, screwing around... but I can suppose a thing or two because I've seen/heard a thing or two. Hopefully the second story has an adjudicated and just ending, regardless of what actually happened.

This is my data for Eley Tenex and Eley match both with the EPS bullet. I’ve worked on and verified it over 10 years. It’s correct in my 28” Winchester 52’s. Way off in my 24” 52’s.
I’ve had 3 Unertls fitted with custom reticules for this data and windage dots at 100 and 200 yards. I’ve found no issues yet.

Willing to split it up?

There you go ruining our thunder. So many delicious memes in a short amount of time.

Actually, that article is a nothing-burger and does not prove that it was not a bad gun. They stated it could be manslaughter, which is less intentional than murder. Maybe he failed to tell them that he droppe the sig and then it went off.

Struggling to keep my jokes relevant....

When this first happened I told several former AF types the sky cops were most likely fucking around and “ it just went off.” All agreed.

China's global exports are around 3.5 Trillion dollars a year........

And none of that $3.5 trillion is going to help, or benefit a single soul of the 1.4 BILLION people who live there. Many are starving, and a large percentage have almost zero access to healthcare. The government doesn't give a shit, because people are its most renewable resource.

History has shown through the ages, that you can only shit on people for so long, before things start getting nasty. Many of these people have nothing to lose. Several more are starving, Many more are punished for things the government sees as a, "threat". While it's not as bad as North Korea YET, they are sitting on a powder keg of a mostly distraught citizens.

A few more shop pictures with a bit more progress.

Got floor sealer down last week. 90 degree for 12 hours is the max temp they recommend so that it soaks into the concrete before drying. Well shit its Texas in summer time. We had a "cold" front forecast to come through last week and it was going to be a high of 89 so wife and I scrubbed the floor the day before to get it clean and give it time to dry. "cold" front came through about 5am so after the hour of heavy rain I got out and sprayed the sealant. Ghost Shield 8510. Its supposed to be a really bad ass product that soaks into the concrete and keeps water, oil, etc... from soaking in and staining the concrete. I dont think its a wunder product as they say anything will penetrate it given enough time, but it was only $500 and I didnt want to go through the process of grinding and putting down 2-3 layers of a coating/flake product. ATF and brake fluid should be cleaned up immediately, but most other stuff they say will take 24+ hours out to a month to soak through.


Foundation/slab pour was a bit tall of grade because lazy concrete guys... So I had to get a retaining wall/planter box built to make it not look completely stupid. Came out nice, but it ate up my entire budget for electrical. So...now were going to finish the outside landscaping before electrical. The stone and brick is whats on our house, so its not the "best" match for the actual shop, were trying to tie things together with the house as good as we can.



Finally got some stuff moved in. Got my 4 post lift moved over yesterday which was a far easier project than I thought. My neighbor works for Hunter Engineering and has some really bad ass aluminum 4 wheel dolly's. I think he said they are rated at like 4k lbs. lowered lift onto dollys then used ratchet straps to "pickup" the corner posts and rolled it out of the attached garage into the shop. Not to bad of a project. Then i rolled my tool box back there also. Luckily it rolled easily and I didnt have to take out any drawers.


Borrowed my other neighbors 12kw generator as my little 2kw nor a 200ft of extension cord from the house would operate my lift. Got lift up to highest locks so I can park under it. Dont really need the lift for storage right now so ill just leave it like that for now and park under it.


I got an 8 foot wide shelf unit from Lowes yesterday and its on the back wall between the tool box and the lift.

아, 제발!

Any pictures of the cases? Some cases are long after firing due to the bullet crimp.

Bump have a great weekend folks.

I don't know if I've seen "the whole video", but the ~5 minutes posted on X shortly after this happened showed some extremely poor decision making on Holly's behalf. I feel bad that she got her ass kicked, but there was ample time to simply walk the fuck away as the situation escalated. Sometimes the victim deserves a share of the blame.

I'll adopt whichever system is able to simultaneously use real time data from two or more instruments. (e.g. anemomter and LRF) for calculations.

No ballistics

I personally would still rather use phone/kestrel for ballistics. Maybe a new Fury will be released eventually.

But being able to laser range, spot a shot, and then give a measured correction (via reticle) all from one optic would be nice (without spending over $2k)
