Shipping is ridiculous!

Yes, I am a poor these days.

Went to backorder a Sterk bolt knob. Things went from $90 for the knob to A HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN DOLLARS AND FOURTEEN CENTS thanks to tax, insurance, and EO’s apparent need to charge me nearly TWICE what a small flat rate box actually costs. I get that the retards at USPS have dicked up their service so much that they have to raise prices to make up for it, but come on. I can get on PirateShip as a regular, non-business user and get that down to just over $8, not this $14.80 that EO feels they’re entitled to.

Un-freakin’-real.

Bitch session over, I guess. Holy hell…

Edit: EO can charge what they want, that’s their prerogative. It’s just more than it needs to be compared to similar products from other (smaller) retailers, which kinda sucks. I guess sticker shock got to me, shipping anything these days is hella expensive and I wrongly (to some extent) pinned that on EO.

Damn I’m bored - M24 I suppose.

I’m bored. And I have a bunch of parts sat about. How about an m24-ish gun build?

Leupold 10x ultra
PWS rail
Remmy Factory 6.5 creedmore. It’s what I had lol.
Timney and toss that xmark pro
M24A2 stock
Leupold Rings
Badger m5.

I bought a cnc machine off craigslist. For $900. Then fixed some shit and upgraded it. Used it to cut the stock.

IMG_1867.jpeg

A neat way to fixture a stock like this is to use a build plate and screw the action screw pillars into it. I opened the hole a little to the halfway mark and it captured the screw heads perfectly.
IMG_1870.jpeg

Then I made some fixing posts out of brass inserts with heat shrink tubing to be in full contact with the stick. Tighten a countersunk head screw in the table and it will push it against the stock hard. No movement now.
IMG_1876.jpeg

Pant shitting time.

IMG_1878.jpeg

That post is cut smooth.

IMG_1879.jpeg
IMG_1880.jpeg


When I tapped it on with a Gracey hammer it left contact marks on the full circumference of the bottom metal. Not bad.

Shit. The height is off by .0015.

Will update as it progresses.

Earth Rotation Faster or Slower? Corporate Media Can’t Get Fear Porn Straight

Earth Rotation Faster or Slower? Corporate Media Can’t Get Fear Porn Straight​


According to the corporate media, Climate Change has slowed the Earth’s rotation — no wait! — the Earth is spinning faster than ever before.
These stories were published on the same day last month, March 27.
Per far-left CBS News, the sciencey headline tells us: “Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up”:
For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a “negative leap second” — around 2029, a study in the journal Nature said Wednesday.
Okay, so if we subtract a second, does that mean I get more sleep or less sleep?
The reason for the Earth spinning faster is…You guessed it: “Ice melting at both of Earth’s poles has been counteracting the planet’s burst of speed and is likely to have delayed this global second of reckoning by about three years[.]”
Is there nothing my air conditioner can’t do?
And the only thing that can prevent us from having to subtract that second is…socialism.
But!
Over at far-left NBC News, the sciencey headline tells us: “Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping”:
“Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time,” warns NBC. “A study … found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven primarily by human-caused climate change — has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it would otherwise.”
What was the middle thing again?
So if you add up the CBS faster claim and the NBC slower claim, the outcome is…Everything is fine! The Earth is spinning normally.
Not The Bee, which first discovered these two stories, asks [emphasis original]:
So Earth is spinning faster, and we might have to adjust our clocks, but then Earth is spinning slower due to global warming, which could also mess with our clocks. Are you two corporate news outlets trying to tell us something? Is global warming… Good?!
Here’s the most interesting part via the clown show we call NBC News:
Because of a combination of factors, the Earth has begun to spin faster in recent decades, a temporary trend that has prompted scientists for the first time to consider subtracting a single “negative leap second” from clocks worldwide as soon as 2026. But the melting of polar ice has delayed that possibility by about three years[.]
Yeah, it sounds like global warming is good.
Excuse me while I go burn some tires.
Listen, when it comes to this aggressively stupid nonsense, this is all you need to know… These alarmist lunatics are 0-53.
In other words, 53 times, these “experts” knocked on our front door, assured us a meteor would hit our home, and told us we must immediately pack up everything and find another place to live. Fifty-three times, they have been wrong, but they demand we believe them and move for a fifty-forth time. At this point, these people are pointing and laughing at us: Look at those rubes packing up their stuff. They bought the meteor story again.

Starting to Load 6.5 Creedmoor - which dies?

I have loaded for some time but never have been as good of a precision rifle reloader as I would like to be. I have all the basic equipment & have been loading for 5.56 & .308 but now need to get set up for 6.5 creed.

Plan on full length sizing - which die model & manufacturer? Always have used standard Lee dies but wondering if better dies should be used
Any point in getting a collet necksizer? I use it on 300 WinMag because I use a body die on that cartridge.
Which seating die? I have used Forster & Redding micrometer dies. Also, could a 308 seating die be used for a 6.5 Creedmoor?
Plan on getting a Little Crow case trimmer.
Plan on getting a Hornady modified case to measure bullet jump.

Thanks!

Hayman Safe Company Announces the Minuteman Quick-Access Personal Defense Safe

Hayman Safe Company Announces the
Minuteman Quick-Access Personal Defense Safe in Stock Now
April 2024, Oviedo, FL – Secure storage is an essential part of firearm ownership, but few storage methods offer the fast and convenient access you need in a crisis. That is why Hayman Safe Company developed the Minuteman Quick-Access personal defense safe for long guns, handguns and flashlights. This groundbreaking, patented design provides safe storage of your primary defensive weapons exactly where you need them, for the fastest access possible when you need it MOST. The Minuteman is the ultimate solution for defense-minded homeowners.

The novel design of the Minuteman provides immediate access to your loaded firearm(s) in your bedroom, living room, foyer or hallway (anywhere you might want quick access to your firearms), while securing the gun(s) as safely as a traditional gun safe. During a forced entry, when seconds count, you may not have time to get-to-and-open a standard gun safe before the threat is inside the building.

The Minuteman solves this problem! The patented design mounts discretely between standard wall studs, and provides access to a long gun or hand guns in SECONDS.

This new concept in gun storage is easy-to-install in buildings with standard wall-board and 16-inch-center stud framing, and has multiple mounting holes for solidly attaching to the studs and floor plate (instructions included).

The safe accommodates defensive guns up to 39-inches-long, like an AR-15 or shotgun, as well as handguns and accessories such as lights and extra magazines. It is solidly-built from11-gauge (1/8-inch) steel, and features a tough powdercoat finish. The dimensions are 48H x 14.25W x 6D inches.

The Minuteman features a top-lit electronic lock and can be upgraded with a biometric lock system. Both styles of locks are equipped with a solid deadbolt for rapid access. Once the code (or fingerprint) is activated, in seconds your Minuteman Safe is unlocked, the door tilts out (hinged at the bottom - opening from the top). Long guns are stored in a muzzle-down position, attached via quick-release straps to the inside of the door, ready to be deployed. Handguns, magazines, flashlights, or other needful items can also be mounted to an optional foam pad, which can be easily secured to the back wall inside the safe.

In the event of a nighttime emergency, the Minuteman features a luminous tape strip surrounding the recessed keypad, for ease of locating it in the dark. Once opened, an interior motion-sensor light illuminates the safe contents in low- or no-light conditions.

In these increasingly dangerous times, The Minuteman Quick-Access personal defense safe is a must-have for responsible gun owners. To learn more about the Minuteman or Hayman Safe Company’s many other firearm-security solutions, visit HaymanSafe.com.

About Hayman Safe Company: Established in 1971, Hayman Safe Company is a second-generation, family-owned manufacturer headquartered in Oviedo, Florida.

Texas City Explosion

On this date 77 years ago the largest non-nuclear man-made explosion in the history of the world occurred in Texas City Texas.

My mom was 9 years old at the time and lived only 1/2 mile away. Her account is recorded along with other's in a book entitled, I Was There.

A ship was loaded with ammonia nitrate bound for France to help reestablish agriculture after the war. She told me today that the sky turned orange from the fire and civil defense sirens sounded as most of the town's people walked down to the dock to see the fire. Shortly after arrival, her mother remembered leaving the iron on and made them all return home. As they arrived, the ship blew up, caving in their house. She with her mother and sisters ran to the garage to drive to safety only to find a large piece of equipment believed to be a part of the ship had crashed in the driveway blocking escape. My mom remembers the piece being large and red hot but her mother somehow picked it up and moved it out of the way.

Approximately 600 died that day, some bodies never recovered. Multiple firetrucks vaporized. The ship's 2ton anchor was blown over a mile away.

Some of you guys are in for a surprise

Listen,

I have been working hard, granted mainly behind the scenes to improve the user experience and how this site runs overall, then in-between that and my classes, I have been working to bring you new content as fast as I can. So busy is a word, distracted as to what is going on day to day here is a bit more accurate.

So 2 weeks ago I was in Georgia and during my travels I get some emails and text messages about a paid sponsor on here having a major customer service issue. I take a cursory look, it's a mess, I delete the post and then all hell breaks loose. I get a call from the company, I get an unsolicited call from the member (which I absolutely hate) and I go in and restore everything. I talk to them, I talk to him, I figure it's all sorted out. Sure the sides have issues, and to be perfectly frank, I am not 100% buying the customer's story, but you have to entertain it enough to make it right. Apparently those attempts to make it right were not enough for you all.

Playing team sports to burn a sponsor down is not gonna fly, and bunch of long time members and big talkers are in for a 2 week break. Especially the ones that decided to follow the sponsor to other forums and make sure the fire jumped to those fields too. Bad move, and I will absolutely toss a few over it. And DAN you are the biggest piece of shit in all this, you won't leave, you won't shut the fuck up, and all you do is act like a troll here. We ban every account and all you do is make more. All you guys who follow this fucking asshole down the hell hole will have nobody to blame but yourself. You're not the only one, but you're definitely the most consistent asshole on this site.

Why the fuck would you attempt too wreck a company in this day and age ? I can understand it if the fck up revolves around theft, or plain old scumbag actions one after another, but the guys here are trying to make it right. They stand toe to toe saying we screwed up, we are sorry, this situation got slid around the bloc in a bad way, but it's not the end of the world. Ask yourself this, you have a barrel chambered and threaded, you don't install the barrel on to the action, but send it to the customer, who then installs it himself and the action threads get damaged... Hmm, he claimed to hand tighten it but he also told them he put a wrench on it. That part was not repeated here, Sounds mighty suspect in my reading. But sure the resulting attempts to fix the issue created a secondary issue which they admitted was a fuck up. They apologized and moved to make it right. It was a case of 3 side at the shop, a misunderstanding regarding the actions to remedy the problem, it happens, the result was outta line.

No after everyone moved to make it right, you all started a 6 page dog pile.... really. This is a company, who employs people, in an age where the Gun Industry is under attack. You guys in the cheap seats have no clue what companies are doing to us every single day. The threats, the removals, the increased hoops we have to jump through to be considered "moral" in their eyes. They do a metric ton of evil shit on the backside to us, and here a company thinks it has a safe haven and you all just dog pile on them. Every mistake they acknowledge and the even spelled out how the mistake happened and how they plan to fix it moving forward. Then, nothing but Shit from you guys. Do you think I voluntary wanted to put an age disclaimer on this site, fuck no, they make me to in order to send emails out, without no mail server. In fact I have to mask my actions on much as possible in order to survive, all it takes is some asshole DNC flunky with a hard on to shut you down today. It has almost happened more times than I can count. They will lie and say they got an email with porn or dead animals from the site to close us down.

it's so not cool, I am trying to build this place to be a nice little safe haven and all you do is make the site look bad. You don't think the other companies in the industry look this shit and go, "fuck no" I am not swimming in that pond. Fuck no, we were not supporting that community after what they did to A, B, and now C... you don't think they are talking or working together and say, holy shit did you see what SH did to X, Y, and Z, fuck that place... cause it happens every time you pull this bullshit.

I am courting companies trying to get deals, I was working for the last month trying to get companies back here, group buys, custom made options for you all, reduced costs, spelling out all the benefits, and then boom, what about that situation... they don't like and it and if you ran a business you wouldn't either. No different than running any service industry, you have Good Customers and Bad Customers, and I am firm believer in removing my bad customers. I am not interested in reforming the attitudes, not worth it, Dan is the perfect example, he has taken every advantage and we let him stay and he fucks us in the ass every chance he gets. We remove him, he makes a new account. We remove that, discourage, he changes emails and new account. He is everything wrong with the internet and some of you follow him blindly down the hellhole to shit on everything HE doesn't like or deem worthy. You can't just walk away and say nothing, it's more fun to dogpile. Which when warranted, I am all about, I will push an issue as far as I can, but I am smarter than you all by knowing where, when and what is appropriate.

Seriously over it, and I am going back to taxing some of your asses, once I determine the biggest offenders who had no dog in the fight, but could not let it go, banned. Once I get the names of those who followed the company to LRH, (you use the same names), banned... I don't give a fuck how much you talk on here, how popular you are, banned. History has proven you will be immediately replaced and while some might be missed, it's usually because they became the butt of joke here. Completely had it with some of you. You are not wrecking this place because you think you are better than everyone else or that you have a clue how things are supposed to be.

Some of you fuckers can ruin a wet dream.
