“Destroyed” DEA guns /parts on the streets

Login to view embedded media

These firearms and parts were “destroyed “ 3 years ago - except obviously they were not .
The DEA claims the FBI handled the destruction of these frames and receivers - the FBI had an explanation

“We keep those in large bins in a cafeteria building , accessible to basically everyone “
Our bad we won’t that again . That’s the official narrative.


Stupidity and incompetence aside - it would be very helpful to have bins full of “destroyed “ firearms to arm- I don’t know - next school shooter - or whomever can aid in the narrative.

6.5 Grendel with Lilja barrel won't shoot straight

Hello Hide, I don’t post online much but I’m stumped. Been shooting and reloading for my 6.5 Grendel AR for about 6 years. Im a machinist and have been hobby gunsmithing for 30 years but far from an expert. Recently replaced the Alexander Arms 18” barrel with a Lilja 16”. Started out with some OK groups 1 to 1.5 MOA on average. Seemed to like the Hornady SST and Shooters World Match Rifle powder so bought a bunch and started to refine a load. Every time I went to the range, the performance got worse. Thought it might be the scope so changed from the Athlon Helos 2-12 I was using to an NF ATACR 4-16 in quality mounts. No dice. Stopped using a suppressor to remove variables but no help. Performance went from bad to worse. I clean regularly with boretech and nylon brush followed by patches. Baby the crown and always use rod guide. I’ve done what I know of to give it best chance for accuracy. Barrel is bedded in loctite 609, receiver is lapped, nut is torqued to 50 ft lbs. Gas tube is tweaked to not touch receiver, AGB tuned to just lock open on last round. Everything to do with optics is torqued to spec and loctited. Everything on the gun is premium but 300 rounds in an it’s shooting 4MOA with the same loads the were 1 MOA at first. Nearly all groups have a mostly vertical dispersion with an angle high left and low right. Pretty sure it’s not me, I can shoot great groups with my other guns. Just bought a bore scope and it looks pretty good to me with the exception of the gas port which clearly has some buildup on it. Don’t know what normal looks like so hope someone can say if that looks problematic. Also, when I received the barrel the extension looked like it was produced in 1980’s china. I polished it up as best I could. I’ll add a pic.

What am I missing? Appreciate any suggestions. I’m loathe to ditch a new $450 barrel but the gun is worthless as is.

Geissele Heavy Barrels. (Update 28OCT24)

Has anyone had any time behind these new heavy profile Geissele barrel??

I just picked one up from Primary Arms with thier Halloween sale. They look to be the same profile as the barrels I custom order. Only thing I would have done differently is 5/8x24 threads and a intermediate gas length.

Headspace. ? On 6.5cm proof ss zermatt origin prefit

My proof research SS 6.5 creedmoor zermatt origin action prefit barrel gave me a headspace/datum line measurement of 1.534" on fireformed brass yet my brand new alpha brass had a measurement of 1.5345" and im not sure if this is usual? this is my first bolt gun and new brass typically has a much shorter headspace measurement than once fired. After installing the barrel i checked the go which it closed on and no go which is failed to close on so the barrel passed them but it just seems a little strange that my once fired has the same datum line measurement as brand new brass thats usually on the shorter side of datum line measuremens. Can anyone explain if this is normal. If not is it bad? I contacted proof and they basically said it's fine but idk it feels strange to me. What is usually what ppl experience in fireformed brass datum line headspacing growth from new brass?

Can a lead sled reflect the accuracy of my rifle and load?

I started to shoot groups for accuracy, using a 223 Zermatt TL3 action with a Shilen 26" barrel and MDT ACC Premier chassis. After the initial adjustments for the bullet seating depth, I got .75" outside to outside groups, that are now opening up to one inch. Everything is the same. Before I make any changes to the rifle and/or loads, I would like to make sure that I am not the problem. Can a lead sled provide a reliable answer? I would want to just pull the trigger and don't touch anything in order to take me out of the equation.
Is this a good idea or the wrong approach? Please let me know what your experiences with this method have been.

2004 cadillac deville 6 Doors worth anything?

Hey all,

I know, weird car. But there's one for sale in my AO and just because it's weird and odd I decided to take a look. It's super clean and well kept. It has sub 34,000 miles and clean title. They want $5000 for it. I'm thinking it might be worth it for re-sale.

Check engine light is on and we took it for a diagnosis and cylinder is the issue. Supposedly it might be spark plug, wire, or coil.

Any thoughts?

When you are a leftist commie Democrat Satanist of Color... and The WAPO won't endorse you...

You must really suck!!!!

Oh wait... we are talking about Cackle Snatch here.

She DOES suck!

And apparently has the IQ of a fencepost! According to Mel Gibson ;-)

It's not a 'great' October surprise. I'm still hoping for a better one. Like Tim Walz being discovered at the Budweiser Breweries blowing Clydesdales. With Paul Pelosi.

But the sheep stupid enough to have their Harris/Walz signs in their yard because they were told and have TDS... well, they'll still vote for them. Numerous times. Along with their illegal maids and gardners.

More Tampon Timmy Stolen Valor along with his heartbreak theatrics with a widow

Another case of timmy trying to steal more military credits? Also, his despicable behavior with the widow of a slain officer. My hat's off to her for letting timmy have it.
