Bear Independent: Pam Bondi Should Resign Over Epstein Files No Release!

I think this is a great excuse for her to fire everyone in the FBI southern district of NY. Escort them all out of the building after a thorough search to make sure aren't taking anything with them. Ship the personal items from their desks to their home of record.
yea but pull their accumulated pension funds as step 2.

MILE HIGH SHOOTING

Any idea when these are coming back in stock?

When I spoke to thunder beast Thursday they said 8-12 weeks on them. I just got on the list with them.

Hearing protection active muffs in 2025

So I've read a few of the threads over the years and the somewhat relevant recent ones were from end of 2023.

Went to the range today after a tough day at work and realized I couldn't find my walker razor slim active electronic muffs. Also couldn't find the wife's purple Howard leight electronics either. Had to resort to foamies.

I mostly shoot suppressed. Generally only active muffs or if I double up I use orange rolled foamies cause my dad taught me right. My good outdoor range closed so I have been having to go indoors more often.

Been thinking of upgrading from the walkers for a couple of years. Want to stick with active muffs. Don't want anything too thick either. Do not use a helmet but it would also be nice to have recommendations for ones that can be switched to work with some form of hard hat use when I do storm chainsaw cleanup work. Do not need mic or comms. I've got amateur radio for that.

What are the worthwhile upgrades at different price points? Where do you recommend to get them? I don't get mil/Le discounts.

Edit: I wear prescription glasses. Currently Oakley barrelhouse.

Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

Another update on the 11.5 Armalite. I went to a 100 yard range today with more GGG M193 and some AAC 77gr OTM and a chronograph.

Unfortunately, I didnt think about putting a bigger scope on it, so all shooting was done with the TA11 I had on top of it.

I thought the chrono numbers looked pretty good. I used 10 shot strings.

M193 - 2763 vel. 16.5 SD 59.9 ES
AAC 77gr - 2282 vel. 17.7 SD 43.3 ES

Neither of the types of ammo I used were match grade by any means, but they were pretty consistent.

Groups with the M193 ran in the 2 to 2.5 MOA range. At least I know from yesterday that it shoots well enough to put hits on reduced size IPSC targets at 400.

The AAC 77gr shot into the MOAish range. MOA give or take. This is the same result that I get out of my 16" Criterion Hybrid barrel, so Im happy with that. I just wish I got a bit more velocity out of it. I think this lot of AAC was underpowered.

I was running the gas block with the .066 gas port and the AAC failed to lock back on the last round. I put the block with the .070 port back on when I got home, just to be sure.

M40a1 restoration help

Cool rifle and a great story. The M40A1 thread will have all you need, and some good gunsmiths listed in there as well.
