As the title says, I'm looking to get some real world feedback from folks who use or have used professional money/investment management services. Based on the number of TacOps, AI and MRAD shooters here, there must be a decent few of you Alternatively if you work in this line of work, I'd love to pick your brain privately.

I'm pretty fortunate to make a pretty decent living and have always lived below my means. I've mainly been saving cash and maxing out retirement plans, but over the last several years have been investing in equities. My original plan was to split $XXXX per month between DJIA, QQQ and SPY index funds, with lesser amounts going towards some other ETFs and individual equities I thought had promise.

With the markets only going up and VIX staying low, however, I've been putting off the investments into index funds worried that a sharp correction is coming.

I've realized that it may be in my best interest to hand this job over to someone else and have been speaking with a JP Morgan private client banker and investment manager. They do seem to have put together a pretty solid plan for managing all aspects of my finances and attaining life goals but now we're at the make-a-decision phase and I'm a bit resistant to change, so getting cold feet. I was thinking some real world feedback may help me come to a decision.

The last thread got accidentally deleted while trying to clean-up some moron's inappropriate post. So, let's give this one a fighting chance:

- No naked crotch pics

When running ARs in -10 & below temperatures what brands of lubricants work best?

Are there any AGBs that work better than others in those temperatures?

Hey ACC Elite owners. When I got my ACC I was frustrated that they didn’t offer a one piece top cover. To achieve fully enclosed forend, it requires purchasing 4x Bridges at $140 a pop, then modifying one of them for what results in a segmented half assed outcome anyway.

As such, I’ve been working on a one piece top cover for the ACC Elite with a very talented modeler who makes lots of other bits and pieces for the shooting community.

This is what we have come up with. One piece, square front, tapered rear, and a rebate in the top for grip tape. It’s since been priced up by a quality machine shop, but the price gets noticeably better once we get to 20 pieces.

As such, I just thought I’d put this out there as an EOI to see whether it’s worth doing. I started this project because I wanted one, but obviously wouldn’t be stuck with 19 spares ideally

If we can get to 20, pricing should come in $150usd+ cheaper than the 4x small cover alternative - including dowels and screws. Hopefully sub 300usd (take advantage of that dogshit Aussie dollar). Shipping from me over in aus shouldn’t be too awful if it goes ahead.

Let me know your thoughts guys.

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

As the title says, "What gives the President power to create new government organizations?"

Not knowing a did a Google search and this is what it showed:

"
AI Overview

While the President does have some authority to reorganize the executive branch, the primary power to create new government organizations lies with Congress, meaning they must pass legislation to establish new agencies; the President cannot unilaterally create a new government organization without Congressional approval, which is typically done through acts of Congress, not solely through executive power vested in the President by Article II of the Constitution.

Key points to remember:

• Limited Reorganization Power:
  The President does have some limited authority to reorganize existing executive branch agencies through "reorganization plans," but these plans usually require Congressional approval or oversight.
  
  
• Executive Vesting Clause:
  Article II of the Constitution grants the President broad executive power, but this power is generally interpreted as the ability to manage and direct existing agencies, not to create new ones without Congressional involvement.
  
  
• Congressional Authority:
  The power to create new government agencies and departments primarily rests with Congress, as they enact laws establishing these entities. "
  
  If this is true how does he get away with creating the "Department of Government Efficiency"?

I also found this. I haven't heard or read anything about Congress granting him the approval to do so.

I recently built an 18” 6.5 Grendel with a NightForce NX8 2.5-20x

I went with the superlative arms piston system, but the BCG is tight in the upper so I may swap it over to DI with a superlative arms adjustable gas black and JP FMOS.
After researching the round more it really seems to be great at everything. So I’m thinking it may be cool to build a 13.9” SBR upper to have superior capabilities compared to my 300blk out and 14.5” AR and far less blast and recoil than my 13” SCAR 17. If I do that it makes total sense to swap the superlative piston to the SBR and I would use a VLTOR MUR upper since the BCG fits perfectly in that upper (my 14.5” AR setup). What I’m really wanting input on is… optic arrangement. While I’d have the 18” upper for long range, the 13.9” should be very capable out to distance. So I was thinking of trying the Steiner T6XI 2.5-15x with an RMR mounted on top. I’ve never used a top mounted or offset RMR, but I’m sure I can train to become accustomed to it. I thought this set up would make more sense than another LPVO. I’ve got a Trijicon Credo 1-6x on my 14.5” AR and a Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x on my SBR SCAR 17. Thoughts?
Use would be run and gun and up to whatever distance the rifle is capable. I’m thinking of trying the Lehigh 110 grain copper solids and the 110 grain controlled chaos.

Title says it all. Everything priced to sell so I can leave my crazy wife.

Original boxes and accessories included.

Vortex Impact 4000 - SOLD

And then I’ll be expecting J6 and Covid type raids with tanks and machine guns and snipers and dogs from the feds all the way town to town constable .

And if we see any type of action like that at all it’ll go a long way toward rebuilding trust .

I’ve got a Dakota 76 actioned rifle that used to be a 22-250 but been rebarreled to 6.5 creedmoor.
It’s a floor plate mag. Hornady ELDX 143gr shoot lovely but jam nose to tail in the mag.
I’ve now moved to Hornady 129gr SST which don’t jam but when you stack 4 in the mag the rounds sit slack at the rear and tight on the shoulder.
This means the bolt can miss the round and not feed it into the chamber, just push it back under.

Can this be fixed somehow.
Also can you get a DBM for the Dakota 76?

Cheers!

Let’s Talk Bipods!

Im curious as to what Bipod styles and brands everyone is running on their rifle builds. I do a lot of deer hunting but have recently started getting more into the Rimfire NRL22 competitions and I am looking for a bipod that is a good all around option that gives you the best bang for your buck!

LNIB Sig Romeo 3XL 1x35 and Sig 45 deg offset mount

Mounted on a rifle but no range time. I ended up taking it off the gun and putting it in the safe.

I've assembled (9) ARs to this point from the ground up, and generally enjoy the process. I possess all of the necessary tools and equipment for both large frame and small builds.

Where build #10 is taking me though is into new territory for me...specifically I have in hand a 6.5 CM, steel Proof barrel, 22", with +2" gas, and JP enhanced bolt. It'll be going in an Aero (ewww) M5E1 set with 15" enhanced handguard. I got the whole set for $360 because it is in a fugly color and was a blem...nothing a little Krylon can't fix.

If I'm running the (most likely) SA AGB, are there any concerns with certain buffers and springs that I should know of and avoid? I have zero experience with the Creed, but my last .308 runs like a champ. I do intend on running a carbine stock and not fixed.

Admittedly, it has been about 3 years since I fully assembled an AR. So if there are cerain parts manufacturers these days who stand out in a good (or even bad) way, I'd love to know where to look, and where to avoid.

Not looking for the most hard-core parts, but don't mind spending a little more to get higher quality materials.

Much appreciated for any insight.

This has gone far enough. And the he bullshitters are now in high gear.

A link to the article is first:

https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukrai...s-earthquake-sized-blast-picked-up-from-space

Never mind the article, the comments after the article are the important part. Everyone in the comments seems to think that Russia started the war.

Russia did not start this war. If you don't know that you are severely misinformed. Who started this war? WE DID.

And I'm not going to spoon feed you the details. Do your own freaking research. That's all have to say about that.

To my knowledge there is timney at 8oz first stage 1lb. Jard at 9 to 11 oz or 16 to 20oz, or Bix N Andy Dakota at 1lb. Anybody used all 3 by chance?
Thanks

I have an impact precision bolt with 20 moa cant built in. I am trying to decide on getting a Spuhr scope mount with 10 moa cant or 0 moa cant. With the 10 moa cant scope mount (30 moa cant total) it seems it would put the zero for the Vortex Razor with about 8 mils of downward elevation. My question is if this is still within the area that would have ideal clarity and field of view. I know the closer you get to the edge/limit of the scope the optical clarity and field of view can get worse. Thanks!
