    The Greatest Archaeological and Technological Discovery of Mankind

    Even when rods are made here the US Gov is touchy about it. I also work in the industry and we own a certain rod factory in the NW. They made us stop printing made in US to handcrafted in Washington. All because the base materials and components mostly come from overseas. Even the prepreg was...

    23andMe up for Sale

    Based on how much the Khan's took over, there is a high probability that a good portion of the world has some of their bloodline.

    Unconverted saiga 7.62x39 prices

    I really wish I would have explored the platform sooner. I had some friends with ban era Chinese Mak 90 type rifles growing up so I had some limited experience running them. Then I picked up a Russian SKS or two. Stupidly decided the SKS was better except for fixed mags and listened to the Fudd...

    Unconverted saiga 7.62x39 prices

    I really like the 74 and 100 platforms. I have an SGL-21, Bulgarian kit build 74 and an 88 Izhmash 74 kit build. The 88 kit build get's used a lot. I would love to build a 105 at some point, but I live in a non friendly state for that and I don't want some dumb extended booster on the end. I...

    Unconverted saiga 7.62x39 prices

    Are there any good places to source parts anymore? All of the Russian sites I used to get parts from were all basically saying no more shipping to the US or it had to be some convoluted way of getting here.

    Unconverted saiga 7.62x39 prices

    If you are set on an AK100 series type build there really aren't any other options that I am aware of. If you just want an AKM, look at the Polish guns like FB Radom or WBP. Or find a parts kit and have one built on a new receiver. Most of the Russian parts kits are going for $1300+. The last...

    Yes I figured this out. There is still some voodoo involved but less problems.

    153 grain ATIPs

    I shot some with Reloader 26 using .002" tension in a bolt gun. No issues but the 135 Atips shoot a lot better for my rifle.

    Climate Change

    We had the "mini" ice age in the late 1800's if my memory is correct. Must have been coal fires that caused that to happen. Or maybe all the black powder from firearms.

    Climate Change

    If you just look at the history of this planet there have been several insane changes and life ending events created by itself outside of a meteor strike. Thinking that humans alone are causing the change is very narcissistic. Volcanos emit more crap into the atmosphere than we do. Launching...

    Climate Change

    I thought CO2 was heavier and denser that O2 and other gases in the atmosphere. That is part of the reason why the plant life uses it because it tends to stay lower in the atmosphere and closer to the ground. I don't have an MIT education but I know how to read.

    Vehicle hail damage question

    Years ago while I was still a tech, the owner of the dealership had purchased a Pantera and had it shipped from Florida to CA. It was recently restored and had fresh paint. Dumbass didn't pay for covered transport and had it sent on a flatbed. It went through a hail storm and not a single panel...
