Toll Road Scam

I was traveling toll roads around Orlando on Thursday and the electronic signs all said, “Do not respond to text messages about tolls!” Prior to that, I had received a few of those texts, but ignored them out of hand. First off, I had a problem with my transponder once and all communications are by email unless you call them yourself.

Secondly, the texts I received were from obvious scam numbers.

Information to consider when purchasing a red dot

So I recently purchased a Vortex Strikefire II red/green dot. After mounting it and looking through it the dot is not a dot but a slightly elongated shape. I've not experienced this with my Eotech sights. I wasn't sure if this was a defective sight or me. I've read where if you have an astigmatism this is what you will see. I've also read that if you take a photo of the sight picture that if the red/green dot is irregular that it is the device buy if round then it is your eye(s).

This is what my camera saw so my eye(s) seem to be the problem. I did a little searching and found this info as to why my Eotech look fine but the Vortex doesn't:

"A Vortex red dot might appear "weird" compared to an EOTech because of the fundamental difference in how they project their reticles: a Vortex typically uses a standard LED-based red dot which can be more susceptible to distortion from astigmatism in your eyes, while an EOTech uses a holographic projection, which generally appears cleaner and less affected by eye imperfections, even if it might seem slightly "fuzzy" due to its pixelated nature. "

I thought this information maybe helpful when search for red dot sights if you have astigmatism.

POF Rogue Rebarreling

As someone who is in the process of modeling the whole gun to reproduce so i can have different uppers and doing it with access to scanning CMMs and an XRF.
I promise you both of my samples are basically no different from any other AR in terms of material or the heat sink nut adding reinforcement(it does have space in between the barrel and the nut).

I also made my own barrel and have had 2 others made for me and have shot it with 308, 6.5 and both of them pushing the bounds of their respective load.
They were fine. Ive also run it suppressed with 18" and full powered loads no problem.
there's nothing special going on there. I'm sure its on the engineering edge but works just fine.
I’m not saying you will or won’t have chamber egging, just relating what the engineering considerations were for pressure containment. My understanding is that a stronger steel alloy was used for the barrel extension and bolt.

Stronger barrel extension helps with hoop stress and bolt thrust on the lugs.

Higher strength alloy for the bolt deals with the lug root strength under bolt thrust.

If I was doing it, I would not use a stainless barrel extension, for example. That’s just me.

We all kinda knew this...ATF monitoring

This. ^^^^^

Most people are completely unaware of how many plate readers are imbedded into and networked out of traffic signal sensors, those mobile highway depts signs, LE vehicle dash mounts, etc. Constantly updating a real-time data base of locations, movements and patterns. Supposed to be used for Amber Alerts, stolen vehicle and BOLO type support but just like most tools justified to assist public safety, it can be (and is) used for targeted surveillance of individuals or groups that have broken no laws at all.

Just like most of the Patriot Act, a lot of the "safety tools" have become a tool of government fuckery.
The Okhrana, Cheka, Stasi, Gestapo, and FSB would be embarrassed at what what amateurs they were compared to the mass surveillance systems erected in the US since PATRIOT Act and DHS.

Pin and weld suppressor?

Thanks bud. This is what I was really worried about. What's starting to look like the smart thing to do is just sticking with a pistol brace. I hate dealing with pin and welds too. Eh, I've done some stupid crap over the years, just because something seemed like a good idea at the time.

Thanks for talking me down.

Dude I almost did the same thing with my bolt gun the other day...about to do a shorty .308 barrel and almost jumped the gun and was gonna have the barrel chopped too short which would have just barely put the muzzle threads inside the handguard lol

I have a soft spot for short barrels and folders lol

I used to like brownells. Until the barfcom bullshit. Now i will go elsewhere.
I was cleaning out emails recently and looked back at how many decades of orders I had made from Brownell’s, only for them to turn out to be traitors to their main customer base.

I used to do a Brownell’s order every month. I remember working in an FFL where we had a weekly Brownell’s and Midway orders made every week by phone.

Suppressors Abel Co Pi - Rimfire & 5.7 suppressor

Quick review/results on the brake for the theorem. I shot the Mason Valley Steel Hunter this last weekend. Used one of their pre-production brake end caps on my Theorem medium. Shooting open heavy, I was about the spot nearly all my impacts, even close targets. At 375 off a dead tree from compromised positions, I was spotting impacts on the plate using just a game changer up front. Definitely pumped for the final product to come out.
As for dates, don’t hold me to this because I don’t work for Abel, but they told me they just got a new machine which reduced the milling process from 3-4 separate steps down to one. They have been waiting for this new machine which saves a ton of time and costs. They mentioned it’s 45-60 days out from shipping out the first brakes, but as with any new machining process, those lead times are fluid. Figured I’d give you guys that info.
I ended up shooting 2nd overall and 2nd in Open Heavy behind Matt Alwine who put on a total wind clinic and gapped me by 9 points! He earned it!
I’ll definitely be the first in line to put in my order for the endcap brake. Also, outside in open environment I didn’t wear hearing protection and didn’t feel any discomfort. Win!

Arfcom skipped the middle-man and just made the feds their mods 😆
It’s even worse than that.

Remember NorCal LEO? Yeah, he was arrested and convicted for assaulting a minor female victim many years ago.

Mods kept logging in with his account when simps called “NorCal LEO to the bat line”, whenever someone smelled a retread.

Some of the mods turned out to be holster-sniffers and foreign nationals from Canada and Denmark.

One of the famous Mods, known for at least 81,000 posts that amounted to nothing other than “LoL”, showed up to the VA Rally after the Governor signed in that unconstitutional arms ban. It was a totally-peaceful protest.

Said Mod went back and provided names of attending Arfcommers to the FBI and DHS, and banned their accounts.

In the recent January 6 pardons, one of the Arfcommers who was rotting in prison throughout Biden-su’s term, saw in discovery the names of Arfcom members who testified against him in-secret as being FBI agents. He posted this info in his thread upon his release.

These are criminal secret police who share no common values with Americans, and financially benefit on the Federal GS pay scale system with generous benefits and cushy retirement plans, while targeting actual Americans who are hard-working towards productive causes, fleeced with taxation to finance the unconstitutional secret police.

It’s all a Mafia racket packed with people who have no real connection with the rest of us.

Who knew - they like watching child abuse as well


Only 30 indicted so far - probably a very small minority and everyone else that works in these juvenile facilities is probably a great person with no desire to harm children ladies or the elderly.
Really shocked by this news especially since we’ve been enlightened via the NY case on how professional correctional officers are and how tough there job is so it’s fine if they beat handcuffed people to death on the regular and then laugh about it and try to delete the evidence.
Surprising and sad 😔

It's called "gladiator school" and not rare at all.

EU allies

I live in the Netherlands and they military are very well trained but they are on a very small budget.
So they don't have enough equipment.
The government don't want to raise the budget because they expect the USA will resolve their problems.
Hopefully Trump will change that.

I feel bad for the Euros who are still sane, you guys must look out the window and go WTF.

The only European country that has ICBMs with nuclear warheads targeting US cities is Russia.

Yeah let's keep the war going in Ukraine, hell escalate it, even though you don't the money or the military to do it with. Europeans egging everybody into starting a giant war, where have I heard this before, it all seems so damn familiar...
