Australia already imposes an across the board 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax, an import tax) as well as a 5% customs duty. https://go.shipbob.com/au/blog/import-taxes-australia/

How is their 15% tax on everything we sell them any different than a %15 tariff? It's not. They're not retaliating because they've been making anything Made in America cost 15% for forever. This is what people don't understand.

Trump is targeting import taxes, tariffs, whatever you want to call them (Europe calls it a VAT) because all of our supposedly "free: trading partners tax the shit out of everything we still make (which isn't much anymore).

This is an attempt to onshore American manufacturing, and it is likely going to be painful, but if we don't do it we are completely fucked. The globalist free trade bullshit, and it is bullshit, because we're the only ones who actually practice it, is to the detriment of own people.

Canada taxes the fuck out of our goods, which is why Trump went ballistic when they tried to threaten us. The Australians are much smarter, and will negotiate without making asses out of themselves.

About a year ago people challenged him on this. He called them out to give them all the expenses and where the money would go to. Crickets after that.

Edit: it was longer then that. Time flies

Not at all...at least for me, I have 2 Proof SS barrels, not carbon fiber, both are excellent 1/2" 5 shot shooters.

The reason I have 2 Proof barrels is because the BA barrel top and the Proof barrel bottom, both with 108 gr eldm.

On the range the same day, same match ammo, the first 5 shot group ever fired out of the Proof barrel was 1/2" compared to the BA barrels 2.5" group...
So I scrapped the BA barrel and bought another 6mm ARC proof barrel. It too shoots 1/2" groups with heavies including 110 SMK.

He was talking about the 80 grain bullets, not the heavies.

I wondered that myself all the times I was there. Maybe Saudi influence perhaps? Or that Globohomo has always had a hatred for the Slavs?

That very question is what pulled me out of the normie matrix.

It was at that the me that I discovered the true nature of most media sources.

Clinton had been on Soviet and Russian payroll since no later than 1984, some say as far back as 1969 when he fled England after the rape cases started to get attention from London police and US State Dept. He was just a draft-dodging hippie at the time.

A retired State Department employee, said he had spoken with the woman's family and filed a report . He said Clinton had admitted having sex with her but said she consented.

The employee is quoted as saying: "There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma."

But he added: "We were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape.

"I filed a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it."

He added that Clinton's interests while at Oxford appeared to be drinking, drugs and sex rather than studies.

"I came away from the incident with the clear impression that this was a young man who was there to party, not study," he said.

In an informal chat with BBC reporter Gavin Esler, Clinton once joked: "If they ever find out what I got up to in Oxford then I'm in deep trouble."

Where did he flee to in order to avoid the law? Soviet Russia, then Czechoslovakia. He stayed with a Czech family who were founders of the Czech communist party.

Meet the Czech family who put up Bill Clinton in 1970

Bill Clinton was a polite young man 24 years ago interested in the events of the Prague Spring, according to the Czech family he stayed with in 1970.

But they had no idea he would someday become president of the United States. And only Bill Clinton knows whether he realized in January 1970 that he was spending seven days living with one of the most famous names in Czechoslovak communist history.

When the U.S. president arrives in Prague today, it will mark the 24th anniversary of his stay with the family of Jan Kopold, his Oxford classmate.

This is the exact reason we don’t see more of them

They are more expensive and the wait time is too long for today’s market. If it was short lead time but more money..no big deal. Long lead time but cheap..no big deal. But both make it hard for some guys.

20 years ago when a smith took a sold year to true a 700 and put a barrel on this timeframe was ok.

Today when you can buy a prefit and be shooting .5 with factory ammo by the weekend..it makes it hard for guys to buy on a whim.

Personally I hope they work and he brings a new product/ tech to the firearms world. The industry has been stagnant for 20 years.

Guess you have not looked at the top barrel smith’s they are booked out away Craddock for example quotes 6-8 months for their Bartlein barrels.

SOLD @brgrunt87

I'll take this.

I wish I would of bought a non a1 trg when euro had them regularly. My search for a 42 in 300 win mag has been unsuccessful outside of the occasional gunbroker ones.

if this will open it should stir the pot here,esp amongst the Z lovers. i sometimes doubt his reports on casualties and ongoing Russian progress and plans. but,his take on what US should do is a no brainer. ie bring everything back and defend America. his take on the dangers originating in Mexico can't be doubted by anyone paying attention. been going on since before WW1 at least. Pancho Villa ring a bell along with the recent invasion ? interesting thought is what happens if we can cut off most drug imports and threaten or slash cartel profits. food for thought. if he is truthful about cartel armaments,the BP and police will in fact be unable to control or defeat them. thanks Zelensky and you MIC people.
prev posts he's done also focus on the elites that control America and coming economic armageddon in line with Tucker's take,which both seem pretty clear.

I tend to question if that's going to turn out to be a good decision now that Geissele has halfed the price of their mags and apparently Duramag is working on kind of a knockoff. I think the upper could be interesting, but I don't see myself going with the oddball lower that only has one mag option over the standard with much improved options.

You're pretty close on pricing. Tacom's barrel machining service starts at around $900-1000, plus the cost of the blank, and you'll still need to pay a gunsmith to fit, chamber, and thread the barrel to your action after Tacom has finished with it.

So it basically adds $900-$1600 to the cost of a blank and gunsmithing. Wth quality blanks costing $550+ (why would you pay $1000+ to structure a McGowan when you can spend little more and get a Bartlein or Kreiger) and gunsmithing services running about $500 a quality fit, chamber & muzzle threading by a reputable smith, you're pretty close to $2k (or more) into a structured barrel.

The price calculator on their site:

Structured Barrel

Instructions Select a Max Diameter followed by Caliber and Length. If a desired output is not shown, change the Max Diameter and repeat. The form logic-based, automatically updating per end-user selections, and features letter codes are for internal, order processing only. Agreement PLEASE...

Who has been truly happy with their RTR accuracy ?


Seems like sub par for 90+% of what’s been posted

I like both of mine. They shoot Hornady Black 123ELD’s .75-1moa lot to lot. That’s about all I can expect from them with box ammo. I’d expect more from a developed hand load. They’re gassed perfectly. Function has been 100% suppressed and unsuppressed. Neither string shots when they get hot. Velocity has been on par with any other 18” Grendel barrel I’ve chrono’d with the ammo I shoot. Both clean up easily.

Yes. It is smoother. The DLC coating makes the bold feel less clunky and a bit smoother

Thanks.

I wasn't sure if the jerky cocking, due to the cocking piece, was what is improved or just the sliding of the bolt.

What action was that inletted for? Asking because of the ejection port size. I wish mine was a little wider to accommodate my other actions aesthetically.

I think Kash is solid but I've lost ALL faith in Bondi. She's already Barr 2.0

The rest will take time to develop, but I'm impatient like you.

I'm sick to death of the left

Well, she's an attorney, so she can't do whatever the hell she wants, but has to follow the law. That is actually the job, though we haven't seen anyone do it competently or judiciously in a while. Out of every cabinet position that is probably the most constrained (and important) one. I cannot remember a Democrat AG that wasn't a total piece of shit liar.

The last good one was John Ashcroft who made the ATF erase their illegal NICS gun registry list (probably completely and illegally reconstituted).

The 6 Creed isn't a thumper but that Jetblast does a really good job cutting it more than in half. Glad you're enjoying it.

I can only imagine how good it works with a larger volume of high pressure gases from something like the 300 PRC
