It was no coincidence that Reagan and JP2 were 'serving' at the same time.

John Paul did as much to bring down the East Bloc as the US did. His work in Poland was the first crack that brought the Berlin Wall tumbling down.

And both were subjects of assassination attempts... that would have made the world a very different place today.

If this commie POS dies soon... then maybe, just maybe, we'll get a good old fashioned fire-and brimstone "Families not fags" Pope who gets off the green shit... cleans out the socialists who have infested the church since the 1980's... and stomps the shit out of the Globalists.

Got that right, JP2 was a man amongst men. Tough little Pollock. RIP

Is this sold?

I’ve been fighting a 223 Ackley for a good while.
Seems that I can achieve decent accuracy or decent ES/SD’s but not both.

Fireforming Lapua 55 fmj factory load shoots .5 with SD of 7-8 but a 75 eldm on 4895 or Varget disappoint.

I’ve deep cleaned the barrel & accuracy showed a marked improvement. So I’ll try again.

Anybody else had a tussle getting a 223Ai to act right?

I run a hot load of 8208XBR in mine with 75s.

Bad move.

I sold my 86 Python to fund something else. Wish I still had the Python cause the other thing is long gone.

I was fortunate enough to be qualified to purchase two 40XBs & a single old 40X from the CMP from 2004-2007. The prices were right - in the $385 range, and the two heavy 40XBs were in really nice shape, and both shot really well at 50-100yds with the Lapua made Wolf Match Target & Match Extra I was shooting back then. I let a good friend have one of the 40XBs, and wound up pulling the bbls off the other two, then sending the actions off to Jonathan Elrod at Modocam Rifles for the conversion to repeaters using V22 magazines. I did the machine work to install a Lilja titebore on the converted 40XB, and did the same with a Benchmark blank for the 40X. Both shot very well with these custom barrels that I chambered with an EPS reamer, and I shot them in PRS-type 22rf matches at a semi-local club, being well pleased with both of them. When Vudoo released their Gen 1 actions, I bought one of the early ones and put a Krieger in sendero profile on it. The Vudoo was every bit as accurate - probably a bit better - than either of the converted 40Xs, and it ran smoother. Kinda makes me wish I'd have kept the 40XB in its original state as a single shot target rifle, but it's still an absolute hammer as a repeater with good lots of SK Rifle Match & Lapua Center-X. Photo is of the 40XB with 26" Lilja titebore bbl, in a Manners T4A in woodland camo w/mini-chassis, and Athlon Cronus scope. That Lilja bbl is one of the most accurate barrels I've done for any of my rifles, but it needs wiped out with Ed's Red every 125~ rounds to maintain that accuracy.

Does this attachment really exist? I know someone who is clearing a brushy and wooded area that could really use it. It would save a ton of time.

This being the Pit, someone will be along in a moment to post that if the Los Angeles County sheriff is not arrested and publicly executed by hanging, on Pay per View, then this all means nothing.

Well, we would at least then be erring on the side of finally correcting the issue.

I can guarantee you that while that may be extreme, at least the next sheriff would make sure not to infringe on civil rights.

No, there are tons of of things out there that show all kinds of icky things. But interpreting what you see is really tough. He knows he has a problem, be it bore related or ammunition related, his rifle fouls really easily. One question I guess I would pose, is the fouling carbon related ( comes out black) or copper related ( shows up as green/Blue)? If it is really black then for some reason your ammunition may be an issue. If green then there is roughness that is damaging the bullet. If black try shooting some match ammo ( federal gold medal or equivalent) and see if the problem continues.
If barrel yeah run some bore paste through, brush it a bit with bore cleaner and repeat. That should be enough to smooth out a burr or two.
Bore scopes in the hands of an experienced smith can help diagnose issues. In the hands of a frustrated average shooter they show images that have everyone screaming “Witch”.

I spent a bit of time in El Salvador. Beautiful country. some of the most humble, gentle, helpful folks I've ever met, made me feel like family.

Thats one side.

The other is, even when I was there in the middle 90's it was incredibly violent. Went to a small strip mall and there ware duece and a halfs sandbagged with machineguns. Went into a small bank to cash a Traveler's Check and all the bank officers were strapped with sidearms.

Not that I'd want to do time anywhere, but El Salvador would be WAY down on the list. They know these parasites for what they are, parasites, and treat them accordingly.

Yes. Penny wise and pound foolish

To the top.

Yet DOJ is arguing suppressors aren't covered by the 2nd ammendment?

The jury is still out on Pam Bondi.

TTT. Make me an offer.
