I was there

We Left Vietnam and arrived at Tacoma, Washington the day before Thanksgiving, 1971. After a bit of out processing, we were given leave and a bus ride to the airport to head home for our leave. The airport was a mess. Being a returning Vietnam veteran and having heard multiple stories about how we were treated when we arrived back in the states, We were very nervous. And Cameras were everywhere. Politicians and other dignitaries were swarming around those cameras like a certain fellow named cooper had just donated Tacoma $200,000 rather than hijacked an aircraft and demanded two hundred thousand to keep from blowing it up.

The smiles on those politicians faces were astounding. Passengers were removed from the plane. Our aircraft, a DC8 headed for Dallas, was packed full. Bless them for giving two tired soldiers a seat. Ralph and I were headed home, and

DB Cooper was headed for immortality.

On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper (later misreported as D.B. Cooper) boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle. Mid-air, he calmly handed a note to a flight attendant, claiming he had a bomb. After securing $200,000 in ransom and four parachutes, he ordered the plane to fly to Mexico—only to leap into the night over the Pacific Northwest, vanishing without a trace.

Funny thing about that night. We arrived at Love Field in Dallas around 6PM. Our flight to Monroe, LA was not going to leave until 6AM the next morning. Ralph and I could have rented a car and been home by 12AM but we sat, talked, walked around the airport and generally had a good time keeping ourselves awake all night, happy to be walking on United States Ground. It was a very, very happy time for us. I still remember that concourse in Dallas like I would be sitting in it right now.

Gunsmithing Thompson Center announces the acquisition of Green Mountain Barrels

Neat news today... Thompson Center Arms (which recently went 'back' into family ownership) has announced that it has acquired Green Mountain Barrels.

For precision stuff, I don't think GMB is a major player. But for AR's and certainly for the muzzle-loading world, they are a mainstay.

T/C has always been a great company and a great innovator. And for us muzzle-loader builders, GMB is a definite go-to.

Probably going to be a great marriage!

Cheers,

Beyond Pissed Applied Ballistics Licensing

I bought in to the Applied Ballistic's desktop program October 21st, 2020. I had initially purchased a cheap windows computer to run the software on. . . like most things I got what I paid for and the computer would not run / install programs in short order. We'll call this "license #1"

I then had an iPad Pro for a period of time. "License #2"

I "upgraded" to a MacBook Pro February 28th, 2023. . . "License #3"

The MacBook Pro screen went out on me earlier this year. Had to log in remotely and "sign out". This deleted all my apps etc. Got my Mac back with the screen fixed and @DocUSMCRetired is saying my computer is reporting a "new serial number".

I cannot be the only one experiencing trying to reinstall the Applied Ballistics Program on a computer they've had it on but needed to do a reboot on. I'm beyond pissed because at this point I'm being asked to purchase a new license.

WTF! ! ! I don't care what the software is "supposed to do" I'm on the user end saying it's not a new computer and the software is getting it wrong. I'd like to hear from you about the same to say this isn't as "isolated" as its being spun off.

I'll go to my damn grave and die on this hill that my integrity is above this software issue.

Florida Governor candidate wants to crush the 2nd Amendment

In the State of Florida we literally just got passed 2 years ago the ability to conceal carry without a CCW. I have no idea how many people legally carry guns in Florida but my guess is there are a lot of us.

This guy has to be smoking some serious weed or drinking some home brewed everclear, if he thinks he is getting elected in this state.

Sure he will get the I4 corridor, palm beach and broward county but that is about it.

Any Auto Technicians Here?

Any Auto Techs here? My buddy's 17 year old kid just cross cabled a jump start attempt. He quick pulled the cables, put them on right, got the car started, but the car will only idle and drive at about 3 mph- I read about something called Limp Mode?

Anyway, he said the battery tested good, he can run the A/C, but the engine ignores the throttle position because he thinks the computer has locked out the throttle as a precaution?

Yeah it’s expensive but it’s rare and hard to find as there is only one source



About $2500 for 920 rounds or about $2.47 a round plus shipping
it must be good it says Sig on the box after all . For the M7 rifle and the 250 machine gun -

This is the first case of the full hop 113 grain binary I’ve seen for sale . Maybe other vendors have had it but this is in stock and shipping now for any Sig fans or anyone that hates their wallet .

Figured with the heat on Sig and all the government contracts and failures this would be best suited to the pit

Tested four different barrels for my LMT 5.56mm MRP today, unscientific findings inside with photos

Several months ago, I bought a LMT MRP 5.56mm rifle during a Black Friday sale. I'm a bit of an accuracy enthusiast with AR rifles, but I also like a practical weight carbine suitable for general use.

Over the past several months, I purchased 4 different barrels for this rifle, I figured I would share my results as it might be helpful to others. I spent considerable time with each barrel over the months, each one has at least 200 rounds downrange. Today's results were fairly representative of my more extensive testing with each barrel.

Today, I fired two 5 round groups at 100 yards with each barrel, except the Bartlein barrel as this is the primary barrel I use and it has already proven to be extremely accurate. I only fired one group with the Bartlein barrel to re-zero the scope as it was getting dark. I was going to use a 32x nightforce scope for this test, but I was pressed for time, so I used the vortex 1-10 razor that lives on this rifle. All shots felt pretty good, I don't think there was much in the way of shooter error. Ideally I would have used 10 round groups, but again I was pressed for time.

All groups were fired using handloads consisting of 73 grain Berger bullets and IMR 8208. This particular load shoots as well as anything I've tried in every AR I own.

First up, the factory LMT 16 Chrome lined Barrel. This produced groups measuring 1.53 and 1.72, velocity was 2,573 with an extreme spread of 50 and SD of 15.9
1000047628.jpg


Next up was the most disappointing to me, this is an $800 Factory LMT 5r cut rifled 16" barrel. I spent considerable time with this Barrel when I bought it, it is frustrating because it wants to shoot better, but it almost always throws a shot in every group.
1000047631.jpg


Next up are two barrels that I had D Wilson convert, I'm very pleased with both of them. The first is a Daniel Defense 14.5 heavy SOCOM profile carbine length CHF Chrome lined barrel. This thing consistently hovers at or just under 1 MOA. Ejection is at 3 o'clock, it's gassed really well for a fighting carbine. Groups were .837" and .973" ( ignore the upper right target, I shot this unsupported as I was just getting on paper)
1000047606.jpg

Lastly, I re-zeroed the Bartlein barrel that I primarily run, probably pushing 1,000 rounds through this Barrel at this point. It consistently puts five rounds between .3" and .75", with numerous 10 round groups that have been in the .6's. The first cold/very clean barrel shot went slightly high, the next 4 went into .347", group size was .744" . It's worth noting that the Bartlein barrel was much faster than the 16" LMT factory barrels, 2,680 FPS, vs. an average of 2,580 FPS for the two 16" factory LMT barrels that I shot today.

1000047627.jpg


All groups were shot with a Vortex 1-10 razor, not the best optic for shooting groups, but it's very practical and it works great for the type of shooting I do. Here are some additional photos showing the barrels, rifle, stuff like that
