Show Us Your Sticks

No not your rifle, calling them a stick is what this month is all about. Let's see your walking sticks or shillelaghs.

These are mine, the top two are sugar maple, the bottom was a reject piece of Ash from Louisville Slugger that I finished. When I still played softball in a wood bat league I used that as a bat, at 37" it hammered, now it's just a walking stick. For scale those are 12" pavers.

Vortex Razor 1-6 Gen2 E for $1000?

On a number of occasions on Reddit, I’ve seen people talk about buying Vortex Razor 1-6 Gen2 E’s for $1000 but I have never seen them sold for that price anywhere online. The dealer that sometimes gets mentioned is Focus Camera but the discount codes mentioned on Reddit never work on that scope.

Does anyone have leads on this? Is this some in-the-know thing where you have to email some dude who sells them in a back alley somewhere?

Maggie’s Things I learned from a decade-plus on the 'Hide

I was thinking this morning after making a quick profile update, I've had my 'hide account longer than my kids. In the time I've been a member of the 'hide - active or just lurking - I've built 3 houses, sold 2, and had 3 kids, 5 dogs, 9 cats, 49 chickens, 4 turkeys, and 11 ducks - and more than 20 firearms that I either still have or have purchased and moved on from.

I'm just a guy. No crazy credentials, just someone who enjoys shooting, wants to at least be "ok" at it, and has a question or three every now and again.

Lessons from a decade-plus on the hide that probably I didn't demonstrate or know at first, that I look back and can principally lay at the feet of interactions here:

1) The rifle makes a difference, but its the ecosystem surrounding it (you doing your part, your ammunition, your sighting and calculation approach being accurate) that makes for a shooting outcome.

2) When things go not as well as expected at the range, examine the trigger activation unit before asking about what has changed in the rifle.

3) It's the internet. Half the stuff here is good insight. At least a quarter is misinformed but loudly stated opinion. The rest you can scroll past. Just like Russian disinformation - its up to you to figure out which is which.

4) Not every acerbic response to your post deserves a reply.

5) Get off the forum, out of the house, and shoot. THEN ask a question or post about the challenge you are working through.

6) There are some problems that all of the forum advice in the world needs to be complemented by a friend or coach who can look at your mechanics in real time, in the real world, and help you break a bad habit.

7) Frank is a gruff teddy bear underneath the curmudgeon exterior.

I saw something cool in the sky last night

Last night I was out playing with my dogs and saw a chain of satellites go over. I thought it was probably the bunch that spaceX put up. It was.
Pretty cool. You can see them for yourself.

SOLD Vudoo 360 Barreled Action (22lr) with a Trigger Tech Diamond, ATS Tuner, & 2 x 10 Round Mags

Selling my used, left handed Vudoo Three 60 barreled action with a 20” ACE MTU contour barrel and 20 MOA rail. It comes with a Trigger Tech Diamond trigger, an ATS tuner, and 2 x 10 round Vudoo magazines.

I bought it new in Sep 2021. It’s in great shape with minor wear throughout as expected. It has exactly 1265 rounds thru it, with it all being Eley and Lapua ammo (it loves Midas +) and no copper jacketed bullets.

Nothing is wrong with it at all, and it’s boringly accurate. I’m getting out of PRS type events (getting too old and heading to benchrest) and it’s time to move it down the line.

Asking $xxxx shipped to an FFL. If you’re interested and live in Texas, I’m between Austin and San Antonio.

If you have any questions, or want to see more pics, please let me know.

Thanks for looking, Matt

P.S. Also selling the MPA chassis it was in and a scope for it. They are in the Post Exchange as well.

It started with Chinese Fentanyl - Now it's Chinese 3D printed Glock auto sears.

First - Disclaimer: The linked article has a leftist bent, i.e. white nationalist bullshit . And yes, the left is in a panic - ban everything mode.

That said, it has a lot of useful information so it is always worth reading about where they are coming from. And, it includes an animation on how the auto sear works so, easy to identify a Glock that has one installed (time to find cover!). Glocks in hands of criminals will soon be firing 20 rounds per second - for $20 bucks apiece.

Coming soon to a city near you: full auto fire fights.

The Chinese are clever. With our non-existent border they have pushed tons of fentanyl clone drugs into our country. That was step one. Now in step two they are pushing thousands of 3D printed auto sears through for Glocks. The price of the auto sear? $20 bucks....

99.9 of law abiding citizens will never buy one. So, we all know who the target buyers are. China doesn't have that problem. They don't have a 2A. They are in this dominance fiight for the long run. Thousands of criminals coming through our non-existing border and now capable of buying a full auto pistol for the price of the pistol + $20 bucks.

This is the definition of chaos, exactly what the Chinese want. What the F*** is the ATF going to do? Well, the easy way out will be to confiscate all Glocks, or force Glock to modify the pistol and make all others illegal. This except for those Glocks that they don't know where they are, which of course will be in the hands of criminals.

Be careful out there!!!

The Article:

So this begs the question


So aside from the usual CNN bullshit (it's basically repeated around the net for every story on this) about kids and guns as well as Momma mourning her 'baby' who was off to a bright career as a chess champion or Doctor I have to ask.....

Why the fuck does a 14yo have a handgun?

At a gas station

Where he was totally not shoplifting....

And exactly who's gun was it....
