Elon doesn't seem to understand politics. He seems to think the Presidency is like a CEO and can dictate what gets through congress. That's my take from his big, beautiful bill whining. Politics is that art of the possible, and what Elon wanted was not possible. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.

Of all the business he has created only one, SpaceX, has caused a net growth the market. All of the rest have taken market share. Tesla took market from the traditional auto makers. It didn't lead to more cars on the road.

In politics, with a fixed number of seats in any legislative body you can only gain "market share" at the expense of others, you cannot create expand a market, or seats. So, given Elons drive for fiscal conservatism, who will this party steal seats & votes from?

If he is serious about change, he needs get involved in the GOP and primary those he wants to depose. But then he would have to work with other people and not be the head honcho, and he can't do that, because ego. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.

If this party happens and gains traction say hello to AOC as your first woman president. And say hello to $20,000 NFA transfer taxes. If you think this party is a good idea and will lead to good 2A and good fiscal things, then based on the history of third parties you are, quite frankly, an idiot.

Rita Kanaeva, just like that I’m interested in tennis

How is that even possible... I mean how the hell does she swing a tennis racquet?!

ETA: For science, I decided to investigate... Looks like she played tennis in high school & some in college, then found what I can only imagine is a more lucrative career than mediocre tennis player as girl with big boobs.

Will try to post pics tomorrow but to answer questions about springs + buffer weights:

JP light steel carrier (not one of the ultra light aluminum competition carriers) + 2 tungsten + 1 steel weight (equivalent of H2 I think?) + 2nd lightest spring in the SCS package (come with 4 springs).

Also, I'm about 500 rounds in on all of the parts so I suspect it's not a "break it in" issue at this point. I suspected this at first as well.

Ok, just get back to basics. First fire a round with one round in the magazine. Does it lock back? If so, is it locking on the bolt carrier or the front of the bolt? If it locks back on the front of the bolt, rather than the bolt carrier, you're getting full travel. How many mags do you have? Try a different mag.

If it locks back on the bolt carrier or doesn't lock back at all, my first guess would be that the rifle is undergassed for the amount of mass/spring weight you're running. Again, assuming that you're barrel is appropriately gassed, I would lighten buffer mass. Try two steel weights and 1 tungsten or 3 steel weights. Which spring is considered "standard?" Which ever one it is, use that one.

Spring rate is used to control bolt velocity and has little (or at least less) effect on closed bolt lock time. Buffer mass is the chief control of closed bolt lock time. It sounds like you have too much closed bolt lock time. Less mass will reduce lock time.

40T debt is a credit card at 30%, you can never pay it off. How countries go bankrupt is to devalue their currency, everyone that was prudent gets wiped out. This mess is beyond political parties being able to fix it. Read the Fall of Rome, this is the die that has been cast, except Rome did not have WMD, it is going to be ugly. BBB is 900 pages of Pork.

I am debt free and would like our country's debt to decrease. However, the important metric is debt to income or debt to GDP for a country. If our economy grows leaps and bound, then the projected 3 to 4 Trillion of additional debt are OK and will be reduced by increased tax revenues. I wish they had not taken the gamble but here we are.

Harris would have racked up significantly more debt to buy votes in a declining economic environment caused by their net zero de-industrialization ideology.

The frontline numbers are really interesting curious to see the turnout in 2026!

There won’t be at Frontline as the “brains” at PRS decided to stop them from running PRS matches because they didn’t have the same “values” as the PRS.

Fair enough and that's essentially the gist I was picking up from what context was left of the conversation.

That said- I hope I didn't come across as trying to "swing my dick" or cast any judgement on the subject- I just was looking for some clarification in the posts that were obviously deleted by the other parties was all.

Doesn't sound like @Rob01 is all that concerned about it either but at the risk of sounding ignorant- that whole post reads as a "nothing-burger" to me. Fella was asking for suggestions, Rob provided a suggestion, folks challenged Rob's suggestion and he provided data to support where he was coming from & why he was suggesting what he was (also seems like his 'motive' was nothing more than to save the guy some hard earned money of his)...

Don't get me wrong- interesting discussion (here) but kinda weird how it played out (there).

-LD

You pretty much covered it. I was just trying to help him from making a bad decision and make him think about it as I have seen many, many people here and other forums make it and regret it later. Nothing I wrote there was bad at all especially to the OP. I was a little wise ass to the other guy who threw it at me first but nothing like here. That guy was probably Beer Slayers buddy and cried to him. Lol

LuckyDuck said:
Figured I'd ask- who is "beer slayer"? Just an admin there at A15.com?

On that note- what's the proverbial "pecking order" on these forums... Mods are essentially volunteers and aren't compensated for their time (right?) and admin have the same "abilities" as the mods do but have a financial interest/business ownership of the site and in some way or another receive compensation?

Not trying to "stir the pot" just making sure I understand the "hierarchy" on the situation is all.

-LD

He’s one of the higher admin there. Mods are just volunteers and unpaid as you said. I guess doing it for 15 years means nothing to them now and why their forum is becoming a joke. There are a higher step above him and then one more above that. I went and talked to the one step higher guy and he was all behind beer slayer so I ended up telling him it’s a waste of time and I am done. They must want the mods to take shit now that they are getting money from members and that is not happening with me.

You will never grow shit in gravel no matter what you put down... well you can grow weeds there as you have found out. Going to need to bring in some soil, have it tilled in, etc... aeration is a good step, but IMO that soil is to shitty to even aerate. I dont think most guys would want to bring their equipment in there for fear of breaking something.

You can buy Lesco branded fertilizer at Home Depot. Its the same stuff the pro's use that buy at Site One. Home Depot will generally only carry one type of Lesco thats appropriate for your area.

Weed and Feed products are complete shit.

You need to use a pre-emergent in the fall to keep all the weeds from germinating. The usual suspects are not cheap, but they work. For post emergent weeds 24d is the go to and can be bought at just about any farm supply in concentrate form for cheap that you mix with water and spray via whatever method you choose(I have a hose end sprayer). I used to do an early spring and late spring post emergent(24d) application, but then started doing pre-emergent in the fall and that cut down my post emergent use to just one time later in the spring.

Fertilizer: 3 times per year; full dose in spring, half dose in summer, full dose in fall
pre-emergent in fall
post emergent later in the spring on the full lawn and then spot treatment as needed.

You need to get all weeds killed off for your actual grass to grow and fill in.

Im about to do my mid summer half dose of fertilizer and do some spot weed killing with 24d in a 2 gallon sprayer.

Ok, question from those of us with a chassis (MPA in my case) ready and waiting for a barreled action. Will your planned action require this DBM? Is a 700 compatible action still planned ?

Awesome question, and as a matter of fact I'm working on the topic of your question this very moment.

My planned actions will not "require" this DBM, although, I'm designing a complete system (magazines, DBM, actions, etc.), not just actions. My actions will be compatible with everything else out there, but based on the data I've confirmed, there are a lot of unchecked variables with so many different dimensions involved in a total assembly that's expected to reliably and repeatably feed a round as finicky as the 22LR.

Also, my DBM will work with everyone else's stuff, rimfire and centerfire.

I'll post up more info right after tis post, as you're timing is impeccable.

Here is what the 'peaceful left' is posting about the tragedy and dead children in Texas...

Well, they also have no qualms about killing babies, grandmothers and calling for genocide to save Gaia.

Just remember this when they start crying about "Our Democracy" and "Fascists."

It's some good news for him and the other Troopers who were persecuted and fired over not taking the Clot Shot

The case continues... He is doing well and we'll probably be getting together in the fall again to do some shooting!

Good to hear from him

This week, RFK is holding hearings on Blue Hair Dye.

Apparently it has some chemicals in it that make people fat, ugly and stupid!

It will be covered on C-SPAN live.

You are wasting time and money without first doing a soil test. Most of the big bag stuff just puts a little of everything in it and hope it works for you. Sandy soils needs different fertilizers than loamy or clay. It’s cheap and easy to have a soil test done.

Nice. I like what looks like interspersed clover. A natural degree of species variety makes lawn more resilient to precipitation and temperature extremes.

I think you've actually made me smarter this morning- like I said I find the AR15.com interface to be godawful which is why I don't haunt those sites too often.

Reckon you're talking about the upper righthand corner of Rob's posts saying edited by beer slayer? If so I clearly missed that before (again not exactly a user friendly site although I'm sure there's good people there).

I don't know Rob and I'm not exactly a popular person even here on SH but I'd sure love to know what those deleted posts entailed because if their admin deleted their mod's post (talk about internet/soap opera drama) all I'm seeing is Rob suggesting the OP's money being better spent on other options... which if I'm reading things right... is exactly the question the OP in that thread posed asking for comment/suggestion?

It was me trying to explain why his money would be better spent and then me just telling him to buy a SWFA SS 10x to get what he wants and save money. There was some with one of the assholes over there who jumped in thinking he was being a wise ass and I have it back to him. It was a mess and nothing but strong opinions and a little bit of wise ass comments but old Beer Slayer thought the mods should take people’s shit and like it. Not how I work.

The deep state uniparty has a stranglehold on the two party illusion of choice presented to us people. The way campaign finance laws are structured pretty much keeps a third party out of enough money to get their message heard.

The way to right the current ship is to get enough outsider liberty minded people placed into the republican ranks. Just look how the democrat party got hijacked from the so called working class party in the 50s and 60s into the socialist extreme that it is now. It was hijacked by radicals over time.

The republican party needs to be hijacked by liberty minded folks. This starts in the primaries. Only voting on election day and ignoring the primaries guarantees the uniparty stays in control.

Trump is a good start to the process. He is an outsider that both sides of the deep state hate.

Elon should leave the scorched earth 3rd party idea alone and concentrate on winning primaries with liberty minded people for the republican party.

Just trying to understand your comment here- do you think all I'm missing is adding whatever nutrients to the soil to get the grass that's there to spread?

I know soil samples are HUGE in farming especially in determining things like alkaline levels etc...

It's not a bad suggestion by any means just wanted to clarify that I was understanding your comment correctly is all.

ETA: Thank you @308Gunner for the suggestion.

Yes once you figure out what the lawn needs then you can grow grass.

This thread is relevant to me. I'm looking for a can that will be good for 9mm glocks and .357 lever guns as well. Initially, I thought that in order to shoot lead I'd have to go with a serviceable can. However a manufacture told me that while they advise against it, if it's a titanium and modern cleaning materials, it shouldn't be an issue. So, that gives me more options. I'm looking at ....

Obsidian .45
Lithium
Flow 9k Ti
AB F4L

Thoughts?
