Not seeing a price

I don’t know if it’s financial illiteracy or just putting heads in the sand, but most people don’t realize how inflation has stolen a significant portion of thier working years that they have saved. On top of the taxes they have paid.

And it is about to get much worse.

Guess you need to find a money launderer to fix that...

Things make more sense when you realize that there were heavy ties/cooperation between early stage Silicon Valley and the US intelligence apparatus. Tech makes some awesome things but the ultimate costs are going to be very high.

I do have a Manners LRH SA chassis with Hawkins bottom metal in a High Plains camo that will work with this barreled action.

The PRS stock has been sold. The barreled action, muzzle break and trigger and scope and mounts are still available. I do have a Manners LRH chassis with Hawkins bottom metal in High Plains camo that I can be used with this barreled action.

Yeah. How many people talk about their "vehicle"? Normal people use terms like "my car", "my truck", "the wreck" etc.

That jumped out to me as well. Nobody talks this way.

I haven’t been thinking about any of this in partisan terms, but if the Democrat party wasn’t already doomed headed into 2026, they’re especially screwed now. The amount of reasonable people who still were planning on voting Democrat, after witnessing lunatics and demons around them celebrating Charlie’s murder, want nothing to do with it now.

The deranged leftist base is happy and will go into the mid-terms full court press, but their numbers will be far less and Dem candidates are wetting their fingers daily seeing how the winds are blowing.

All House Dems and the ones in the Senate ramping up for 2026 basically have to reevaluate their ground game, messaging, and campaign strategies to navigate a new set of waters, where the headwinds are not in their favor.

Damn, @Threadcutter308 beat me to it, and with the exact same words.

I wasn't able to get to it tonight, but will post results when I do.

I have a BCM upper that I used for Proof 18" SS in 6 ARC. Proof had a recall on the extensions, I got mine back from Proof and I swear the new extension is bigger diameter. The upper + barrel are sitting in my basement as a project, last time I tried seating the barrel I got halfway in and it stuck on me. Trying to heat the throat to tap it free, still stuck. Same throat fit the prior extension pretty damned snug but still, it didn't stick on me halfway in.

This is what I use to remove a stuck barrel:

• Wheeler Upper Vice Block (# 156888) ($32) (to secure the upper)
• 1”x12” Wooden Dial Rod ($10)
• 16oz Rubber Mallet ($12)
• Wagner 1200W Heat Gun (# HT1000) ($24) (use on high for about 60-90 seconds)

Yeah, been there. For me, the wooden bowl or rod or whatever you want to call it just resulted in a bunch of wood debris all over the place. I also wasn't crazy about using an upper fixture that would have put most of the force into the pivot pin and/or take down pin lug. I happened to have a pretty beefy optic riser from leupold that I dont use. It has both recoil lugs and 5 screws for the clamp that are spec'd to 60 in-lbs each, so I attached that to the rail on the upper, flipped it upside down and clamped the riser into my vice. I then used a brass rod after applying a good bit of heat. I did get things apart.

Just out of curiosity, I wondered if it was a problem with the machining of the upper or perhaps the anodizing was just too thick. I had this little tool that is not unlike the tool used to hone the cylinder walls on an engine and used it to see if I could open the upper up a bit, without destroying the anodizing. I was able to improve the fit a good bit and was able to get the truing tool into the upper after that, but at that point, I didn't have any confidence in the upper due to how hot I had to get it to get the barrel out. I trashed it after the little experiment.

Damn that makes me laugh smile and miss my big guy Gus
At that age he was all legs and bones held together by a big ol bag of skin
When he got running full speed, he either had to run into something (usually me) or fall down to stop.
Grew into one of the best dogs I ever had.
Love them Weimeraners!

How do you like the RRS scout attached to the anvil?

Click to expand...

Kind of necessary if you're trying to glass with the Anvil-30. I normally glass with a BH-55 or just off of a bag. But I decided to get the Scout for when I am only running the TFCT-34L + Anvil-30 combo that day.

A couple of favorites

Saw this one in the theater with my girlfriend (later wife).

Their investment portfolios will drive their instinct to pounce on such a slow ball that was just thrown their way.

A lot of the ones who play a good game of genuine conservative or patriot make Warren Buffett’s earning ratio look like amateur hour.

They may feel some sense of genuine loss or disgust over Charlie’s murder, but they won’t hesitate to cash-in on such a political crisis, you can bet on that.

For anyone else in this predicament, Murphy precision was great to work with. They are making a rail to my specs.
Good communication, easy process, reasonable price and fast turnaround.

How about “The Great Waldo Pepper”? That was the first movie of his I saw.

RIP Robert!

makes a conspiracy much more likely if true. appears obvious that he was a deliberate distraction. just have to question the kiddie porn. likely seems true. but,we know that the FBI can and will do such to totally bury a suspect. ie esp if the case is light. i just wonder if a case of obstruction is solid enough or if a kill shot was needed. like OJ? trying to frame a guilty man?

Bin Laden was our creation as far back as AFG. don't know if it is true but i read him Quoted as saying that he would not have planned 9/11 if we weren't totally supporting Israel. don't remember the source.
why do we need to be "the world's leading country"? that is nothing but a sop for the egos of self impressed jackasses. sort of a respect my authority (or power) for a country instead of for cops. the world has changed since 1945 and ruling it with bombs and bullshit about spreading democracy doesn't seem to doing us much good here. of course,military interference in other countries is very profitable for some. if we don't have the money we can always print more.
our war mongering neocons and people who cheer them on remind me of jr high bullies that push their size around because they can.
agree that the Houthis attacking commerce in the Red Sea should be stopped. we tried it,ran out of air defense missiles and retreated when it didn't work.
it helps that the American sheeple are asleep. we can bomb away and if only a few coffins come back here nobody notices. if all we had done in VN was rolling thunder and no ground combat units the protest movement never would have started. could have gotten away with some base security or just used Thailand and not many would have noticed.
yea,3rd world sucks. stay out of it and don't let them come here-problem solved. of course gotta get involved to be able to grab the resources and make mucho corp profits.

Never heard of it

No interest what so ever. Discord is not conducive to holding information, searching for information, is infested with trannies and pedos and is basically super unsecured, even messages between people aren't encrypted in any form.

Every single thing you type is kept, sold and/or fed in AI.

Ridiculous -- especially for a public range.

I've fired the SVD and FPK and find them both capable rifles to at least 500 Meters. They balance and carry nicely for real-world military field application.

One of my Special Forces ODAs did a precision shooting training trip to India. At the end-of-course final fires our Indian Army soldiers outshot National Security Group policemen shooting HK PSG-1s.

People are more important than hardware.

I had a very brief, but enthusiastic, interest in fly fishing after that movie, lol.

I guarantee there are a lot of democrat voters who don't give a fuck about charlie and plenty of middle of the road twats who will just vote however the TV tells them to but it'll be interesting when we get closer to voting time. They're bound to try and switch things up and act all christian or pro gun or whatever they think it takes to win because they're all lizard people anyways.
