Consistency, or lack thereof

Wish I’d seen this a year ago. Setting up GRT now, measuring case volume, see what it says.
Just an FYI: When measuring case volume, I've found the best way to get a good measurement is when you've slightly over filled the case and trying to get it level to the case mouth, I use a light source (like a small flashlight) and shine it on the water where I can see whether the water is concave, level or convex. It's very easy to see that with a light source. Then, I take a small piece of paper towel to wick the water down until it's level (I do this while the case is sitting on the scale and the scale has been zeroed with the case on it). Sometimes I wick too much resulting in it being convex, where I put a small drop back on and re-wick to level. It doesn't take much water to change the weight indicated, especially on a good electronic scale. To wick just a small amount of water off, I'll just touch the water with a couple fibers sticking out of the piece of paper towel. Also note, that it's best to do 10 cases, as that give you a much better report of case volume for your lot than doing just 3 to 5.

Not gonna buff out

Dumped my bike on very slightly wet pavement at an intersection back in 1975. Slow speed left turn but nearly got run over anyways. As a State Trooper unfortunately saw my share of bike vs. guard rail. It's never pretty and the guard rail wins every single time. Glad you're alive to tell your story. Best of luck on the surgery and an uneventful recovery.

USMC M40A1 Return Stock Case Study (The Progression of McMillian Stocks)


I don't know what is going on with this one. I don't have a 9168. I have a 9568.

What is the story on it? Did it come directly from McMillian in the return stocks?

If it is from PWS, I almost wonder if was built after the M40A1 program was over?

NFA ideas (Hear me out)

That isn’t a bad strategy, but I don’t think it’s the best one.

Right now I think the best thing the gun community could do is buy a shitload of braced pistol AR’s. I think if those things became so common as to preclude regulation of them, the result would be the eventual nullification of the SBR laws. You can take that meme video floating around with the cartoon atf guy saying “this is a legal gun, now this is an illegal gun” with the same damn picture and even non-gun owners understand how dumb that is. And if SBR’s get legalized with the wave of a wand, suppressors will probably go with them.

And now for something controversial….i think FRT’s hurt us on this front. The average plant-eater sees full auto as the boogeyman, and FRT’s and bump stocks scare them into wanting the NFA to stay. For now, we’d do better as a community to focus on cans and SBR’s and constitutional carry. Once we hace all those things, then maybe pursue the fun-switch.

🚨 NFA language BACK IN!!! (Post #121) HPA/Short Act Update 7/1 ☎️ these 💩 and yell at them more

House has passed its version. Senate has passed its version and sent it back to the House. The House can vote on the Senate's version and, if passed, it goes to Pres. Trump. Otherwise, they go to conference committee. That will delay things way beyond the July 4th deadline, it's thought. This, because both Houses would have to vote on the conference committee's results before it can go to the WH.

If enough of us call them and raise hell they will amend it in conference otherwise the fuckers will punt it and just go with the senate version imho
