    Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

    If i understand correctly you are going off of straight math to make your determination of "what it is". That is a simple and straightforward way of explaining it. Do you think this is a starting point or proof of concept ? As time goes on they could slowly "improve" the dire wolf genome to...

    Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

    Clarification on my end, I was not commenting about "should this be going on" I was trying to determine what the cutoff for determining if a GMO dire wolf is a dire wolf. The philosophical questions around the creation of the creatures is a really difficult to to answer. the base of the...

    What is the cutoff? That is my point, is it 21 genes? Or 21million genes? I have yet to see a non philosophical answer. It's nifty what they are doing and this is a great way to get the ball rolling with the public. The ceo has stated each de-extinction is paired with a conservation effort. I...

    You are 98.8% the same as a chimp. A few things change and humans are here. The differences are small so , if it smells like a dire wolf, looks like a dire wolf , etc. , I will go ahead and say it's a dire wolf.

    You are all forgetting one huge aspect of this, humans have an incredible talent for violence. That is why I am not worried about a zombie apocalypse or resurrected direwolf or mammoths. Two weeks of trouble and someone will figure out how to take care of whatever living problem there is and...

    510 Whisper Build Advice (Stock/Bottom Metal/Magazines/Twist/Barrel Length)

    I think the 50 alaskan on an encore makes alot of sense if you do t want a bolt action. You have a rim to help extract , standard dies. Starline makes brass , and lots of available load data for sub sonic.

    What would be a good modern functional scope for a m1903a3

    Maybe cruise gunbroker for vintage leupold scopes. Some of the older m8 scopes are quite nice. I believe they came in several magnifications and they have a smaller objective bell.

    Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

    Pictures are not the best. Feed ramp opened up, magazine lips smoothed out, the bolt has been opened up just a bit all around and you can see two little angles at the bottom opening for easier feeding, also extractor was refit slightly for better brass control on extraction to ejection.

    Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

    I'm not working as a gunsmith anymore. There are a few little things with the conversions that will help alot. -feed ramp definitely can use some recontouring -bolt face needs some work to accept the 9mm case smoothly -extractor may or may not need a bit more travel to hang on to the 9mm rim...

    50 cal trigger options

    From serbu AR-15 trigger and safety, custom hammer. Average trigger pull is 6-9 lbs, set trigger available at additional cost. Looks like you need a heavier hammer to get it to work correctly.that makes it tough to swap in a different trigger. I would check with them about the "set trigger"...
