Bartlein Barrel Install quest !

Well gentleman, and all other pronoun people, I have a small snafu. I have an unused Bartlein new barrel for a CZ 457. I can't get the thing together. The shank is VERY Tight . Bartlein said to heat up the receiver, and put the barrel into the freezer. The problem is this: I want to be able to set the headspace for a tight lockup, but if I have to freeze the barrel and heat up the receiver, it is going to be a bear to take the barrel out to put shims to set the headspace. It has the barrel grub screw cuts. There is not a gun smith close to me to get this barrel and action put together correctly. I need a smith to get this barrel and receiver together correctly. I need some recommendations as to a decent smithy to do just one little job. I don't feel comfortable heating and freezing parts to get them to go together for a rimfire CZ...........as always, thanks for your kind support ! I have Fedex Hub near me.....and my local FFL has changed hands since the Feds confiscated the license. I can ship. I have contacted a guy that advertises on line, but I have never heard back from him.

Maggie’s Standing seam Metal roof

I need a new roof, and have always liked the looks of the standing seam metal roofs..........I have signed a contract to have a roof installed on my house, and am ok with the price. The company will bring a coil of 24 ga. steel, and their machine which will form the roofing on site.

I need some type of snow retention system on this roof, and I believe the roofing company is trying to bend me over on the system they sell.

Anyone have this type of roof with a snow retention system, what is it, who makes it, and does it work for you.

I live near Kansas City, and sometimes we could get 12" of snow at a time, sometimes just a dusting.

NYC Mayor Says Migrant Crisis Began with ‘Madman Down in Texas’ Busing Program


6:38


New York City Mayor Eric Adams shifted the blame on his expanding migrant crisis to a “madman down in Texas.” The mayor referred to the migrant busing program Texas Governor Greg Abbott created under his Operation Lone Star border security mission.
The mayor bragged about the city’s comeback, which he says has been derailed by the migrant crisis facing the sanctuary city of New York. “And then what happened?” Adams asked. “It started with a madman down in Texas [who] decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City.” The mayor commented during a September 6 town hall meeting.
Sanctuary City Mayor Adams is upset about his policies: “We turned this city around in 20 months and then what happened? A madman down in Texas decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City. 110,000 migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, give them everything they need.” pic.twitter.com/3511gB9iYF

“A hundred ten thousand migrants left to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets — everything they need,” Adams stated. The mayor went on to say he sees no end to the crisis and that it will destroy New York City, Breitbart News reported.
The mayor said nothing of his campaign pledges to continue New York City as a sanctuary city. Nor did he mention that the number of migrants bused from Texas is a tiny fraction of the migrants shipped to the Big Apple by the federal government. As of September 5, the State of Texas bused only 13,300 migrants to New York City, Governor Abbott tweeted on Tuesday.
Texas has bused over 35,000 migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities.
Over 11,300 to DC
Over 13,300 to NYC
Over 6,700 to Chicago
Over 2,600 to Philadelphia
Over 1,000 to Denver
Over 480 to LA
Our busing mission provides critical relief to overwhelmed Texas border towns.
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) September 5, 2023
Abbott’s press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, responded to the mayor’s personal attack on the governor of Texas.
“The hypocrisy of Mayor Adams is astounding,” Mahaleris said in response to an inquiry from Breitbart Texas. “Mayor Adams was proud to tout his self-described sanctuary city status until Texas began busing migrants to New York City to provide relief to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities.”
“With millions of residents, New York is only dealing with a fraction of what our small border communities deal with on a day-to-day basis,” the governor’s press secretary added. “Instead of complaining about 13,000 migrants sent from Texas, Mayor Adams should be calling out his party leader, President Biden, who has been flying planeloads of migrants all around the country and oftentimes in the cover of night, straining state and local resources across the country. Until President Biden steps up and does his job, Texas will continue busing migrants to sanctuary cities to provide relief to our overwhelmed border towns.” (Link included in the original statement.)
Adams expressed his frustration with the ever-mounting crisis his city faces because of the intentional changes in immigration and border security policies made by the Biden administration. He did not, however, place the blame on Biden or his policies.

“Let me tell you something New Yorkers: Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City, destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month,” Adams expressed.
He continued, saying:
One time we were just getting Venezuela, now we’re getting Ecuador, now we’re getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico, now we’re getting Western Africa, now we’re getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.
And everyone is saying, ‘It’s New York City’s problem.’ Every community in this city is going to be impacted. We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us.
Adams’s problems may worsen as Border Patrol reports rapidly expanding numbers of migrants crossing from what they describe as “Special Interest Nations,” Breitbart Texas’s Randy Clark reported on the same day Adams conducted his town all. As an example, CBP reports reviewed by Breitbart showed an increase of migrants from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania from 288 during the first ten months of FY22 to nearly 14,000 so far this fiscal year — an increase of more than 6,000 percent. Egyptian migrants also increased by more than 1,400 percent during this period.
“As of August, more than 5,000 Afghan nationals have been arrested by the Border Patrol along the southwest border,” Clark reported. “During the same time frame in 2022, less than 600 Afghan nationals were encountered by the Border Patrol.”
“With thousands of migrants crossing daily, we don’t have time to figure out who these people are, where they are going, or what their intentions for coming into the country are with any degree of accuracy; most are out the door in a few days,” a source within CBP told Breitbart.
“According to the Border Patrol agents who spoke to Breitbart Texas, most of the group will be released to pursue asylum claims within the United States once the arduous task of processing the migrants is completed,” Clark concluded.

Range Finding binos with AB elite

I am looking at getting new binos with a rangefinder. Mainly for hunting will use some with PRS, and NRL hunter style shooting. Am currently looking at Fury 5000 AB, Sig 10K, and Geovid Pro. These will all range plenty far. The glass comparison isn’t as relative as they are all very usable. I am mainly looking for experience with the target acquisition ease and speed. I’m sure they will all get the job done but is there one that is better at this particular job?

Mayor Eric Adams Declares Illegal Immigration ‘Will Destroy’ NYC: ‘It’s Going to Come to Your Neighborhoods’.


Mayor Eric Adams (D) has declared illegal immigration, at its current pace, “will destroy New York City — warning New Yorkers “every service in this city” will have to be cut and that migrants will “come to your neighborhoods.”


During a townhall on the Upper West Side on Wednesday, a visibly frustrated Adams said the arrival of 110,000 border crossers and illegal aliens since the spring of last year will lead to the destruction of New York City as waves of illegal immigration have continued unabated under President Joe Biden’s watch.


“Let me tell you something New Yorkers: Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City, destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month,” Adams said:


One time we were just getting Venezuela, now we’re getting Ecuador, now we’re getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico, now we’re getting Western Africa, now we’re getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City. [Emphasis added]
And everyone is saying, ‘It’s New York City’s problem.’ Every community in this city is going to be impacted. We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us.

All planned! Next step is to demand money from Bozo's administration and spend a bit of it then use the rest for kick backs. The folks in NYC are screwed! They deserve it for electing people like Eric Adams.
No refunds!

Howard Stern Admits Coronavirus Paranoia Sparked a Fight with His Wife


032009 Aririving at the memorial Service For Natasia Richardson at the Irish Historyc Society.nyc. A.Stern withwife Beth . .






Radio host and shock-jock Howard Stern admitted that coronavirus paranoia recently sparked a fight with his wife, who seemingly does not share his alarm.
During a Wednesday episode for his SiriusXM radio show, Howard Stern said that while he has been more active in recent days, the new coronavirus strain has made him paranoid and “neurotic.” The topic came up when a radio caller asked if Stern found it risky to conduct his radio show from the studio in the wake of a new coronavirus strain.
“I’m going crazy with this. My wife yelled at me last night. We got into a fight,” he said. “You know how paranoid I am about getting COVID. I haven’t gotten it, and I’m pretty safe, and I really don’t want to get it.”
Stern feared that he would be one of the coronavirus cases who end up in the hospital or worse.
“Everyone goes, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a cold for me.’ It’ll probably be way worse. You know what I mean? I mean, I’m the lucky one who will completely fall apart,” he said.
Stern discussed how the age difference between him and his wife (he’s 69; she’s 51) causes a strain when coronavirus pops up.
“You know, my wife’s considerably younger than me, as you might have heard. And you know, she’s not as concerned about getting COVID as I am, because, you know, I’m an older dude,” he said.
“Beth has a bunch of plans. She has like a wedding shower to go to and lunch to go to with a friend and a dinner and a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, you know, we’re really making an effort. We go out to restaurants. We went to the Ed Sheeran concert. We’ve really been out there. I haven’t gotten COVID. And I’m like, you know what? If I get it, I get it,” he added. “Then all of a sudden they announce there’s a new strain of COVID and it’s on the rise. And, you know, people are being hospitalized. ‘It’s time to go back down into lockdown.’ And I’m like, you mean I’m just emerging, and now I’m going back into lockdown!”
Stern said that the argument erupted when he shared his coronavirus concerns with his wife.
“She goes, ‘That’s what you do. Every time I say I’m going to do something, you bring up COVID,'” Stern said of his wife’s words, prompting him to reply, “I’m just telling you, I’m scared. Am I wrong?”
“I’m just expressing my fear to you, and I’m scared,” he added.
Stern admitted that he has “neurotic” issues, which his co-host Robin Quivers described as a “person with no real problems, but who makes them up.”
“Yeah. I make a ton of problems,” Stern admitted.

What a loud mouthed pussy!!

What (if any) is your 2nd favorite hobby?

I am always looking for a new hobby that piques my interest.

-I play a lot of chess (certainly no Grandmaster or anything, I hover around 1600-1650 elo in 1 min bullet games.)
-I trained MMA and BJJ for 13yrs (but father time put an end to that endeavour)
-And I shoot (not nearly enough)

So fellas....what else are you into...besides shooting?? I'd really like to hear what other passions/obsessions you have. (Include images if you want)

(I need something else to do, my girlfriend has this amazing ability to fill MY calandar with horrific outings. Ex. Last week vineyard, Next weekend we are going apple picking. 🫡🔫 This is a cry for help...please get me excited about something new, otherwise next month I will end up pumpkin picking (which I argued is actaully "pumpkin choosing" bc they are already picked for you) but I digress....

wanting to just be left alone

all i ask is leave me alone and let me live in peace.

evidently, that is asking too much. i can't even come here anymore without having my nose rubbed in various agencies playing their games right here before our eyes.....trying to find some half wit they can egg into "plotting" so they can make a bust.

each day it is becoming more and more sketchy- and i ask myself why i even bother anymore. there are a few long known personalities here, and AI and Glowies are really starting to outnumber everything. it is a sad state of affairs (pun intended). it's like having 10 mother-in-laws that follow you around constantly.

i've been spending less and less time here, and i notice people that have been here a long time are just not seen often if at all.

i guess that means more time in the garden tending to my tomato plants.

Gunsmithing Well it’s stuck in the bedding

Not sure where I went wrong, I watched so many videos, got advice on here, took every precaution I could, and now the barreled action is stuck in the stock.

Here’s the setup zermatt origin, manners TA elitetac, Hawkins Hunter dbm

Here’s what I did: taped a few inches forward of the action to center the barrel. Taped the stock from front of recoil lug hole and about 4” forward, (regular tan masking tape if that matters). I’ll attach a photo of where it’s all taped so it makes sense. Taped front and sides of recoil lug. Clay in the trigger hole, clay in the trigger pin slots, clay in the little hole where the lug is pinned. Waxed areas in the mag well and trigger well and everywhere else on the stock I didn’t want bedding. One shot on the action and barrel up to the taped part beyond the tape on the stock (2 coats with time between them). Bedded with probed for action, pillars and bottom metal.

Here’s where I’m at: Action is stuck in stock. Now the bottom metal came free (although it was tight) so I’m fairly confident the release agent worked just fine. But the action absolutely will not budge. I’ve cleaned up the excess that was in the mag well hole and it has come off the action quite easily, and not quite as easily in the stock parts that were waxed but rough, couple hits with the chisel fixed that real quick though. I’m assuming the issue is just a very tight bed because everything is coming off the areas I can access that had release agent on them, but I could be wrong of course. I just feel like if i pull any harder I’m risking breaking the stock, it’s getting some flex in the forarm with the ammount of pressure I’m trying already. I suppose the bedding could have run up the barrel channel past the tape but that seems unlikely given that it only gooped out the first inch or so infront of the lug. I can’t image where there could be a mechanical lock given the careful clay application and visually unobstructed feed lips. I’ve been bouncing the rifle on it’s butt pad on the ground with little to no progress made. I’ve been tapping at the accessible parts of the bottom of the action with a punch but I don’t think I can hit it any harder without tearing up the metal. So I’m at a loss at this point. Everything I’ve read on here says put it in the freezer, but mine isn’t big enough for a rifle so I’d have to find a friend with room to spare that wouldn’t mind me using theirs, and my deadblow hammer is inside a pickup that’s at the ford house for repairs.

So my question is if anyone has any suggestions to try before I go asking around to use some freezer space or is that absolutely the best way to go about this?
