State of Self-defense in America

This is a Tucker Carlson segment everyone needs to watch. These type of stories make my blood boil. There is a distinct course, highlighted by a clearly two-tiered justice system where - right is wrong, wrong is right. "Self-defense" is allowed if you are the criminal. The AZ ranch owner being charged for killing an invader of is property, not being able to talk with his shut-in wife, and GoFundMe shutting down is bail efforts are just heart-breaking and cruel.

RimX vertical stringing from Lapua test center lot testing

I have a new to me RimX with a proof prefit straight contour barrel that is making its way back to me from the Lapua West test center. This is my fourth rifle that had been tested there, and is only slightly better than the Kidd Super Grade - but worse than both my Vudoo and B14R.

The lot that I chose has significant vertical stringing that is apparent in the group images. The overall group size was a hair larger than the “best” lot at 100m (33.2 vs 34.4mm, edge to edge), however as you can see below, the rounds had much great vertical dispersion than horizontal, especially for the left group below.

6034035A-0BDA-4238-BBAF-EB580D3C4B18.jpeg


Question for the RimX owners - any ideas how I could address that vertical stringing? I have the tune up kit already from Zermatt that I will install as soon as I get the gun back. I have read that inconsistent firing pin strikes could cause stringing - assuming it’s not an ammo velocity issue. I also am toying with putting my tuner on, and seeing what I can see there. The tuner rode on my vudoo for a very limited time, but I gave up on it after finding my 50 yard results suffered when tuned for 200 yards.

Two other nuggets about the test center - despite shipping my rifle in the chassis, and asking it to be tested in the chassis multiple times, it was taken out of the chassis and tested in the fixture. This was quite a let down as the shipping cost was remarkably higher due to the heavier and longer package. Also, the operator said that my RimX results were consistent with what he has seen, and that the Vudoos still produce consistently the tightest groups, most in the sub 1” range. My gen 2 V22 was 5/8”.

At the $400 level, is the MRO all bad?

I spent some time doing some non-firing breaching exercises a few weeks ago and one of the rifles had an MRO on it. I was super impressed by how the optic just fell into place as I was bringing it to ready. It just so happened that the buttons on my Vrotex sparc died right after I got home and I have been considering switching it out for an MRO.

But it just seems like everyone talks major shit about them. Since it was night time I didn't notice any fishbowling, and I never got to put rounds through it, but I honestly didn't think it was terrible.

The aimpoint pro is huge and I'm not interested in a holosun chincom, and its just going on a 458 socom so I don't have the need for an LVPO.

Woke Disney+ Loses 2.4 Million Subscribers In Fourth Quarter Of 2022.


The child grooming outlet called Disney+ lost 2.4 million subscribers during the fourth quarter of 2022. That’s the first subscriber loss since the woke outlet launched in 2020.

The news wasn’t all bad for the perverts looking to sexualize underage children. The loss was primarily in India over a contract issue involving sports:

The drop in Disney+ subscribers — which was bigger than analysts expected — was entirely driven by a 3.8 million sequential decline Disney+ Hotstar, the version of the service offered in India and parts of Southeast Asia, to stand at 161.8 million at the end of 2022. Last year, Disney lost streaming rights to Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches, which prompted it to lower growth targets for Disney+ Hotstar in India.
Here in the U.S. Disney managed to add 200,000 subscribers, and did so despite a price hump from $7.99 per month to $10.99:

In the U.S./Canada, Disney+ gained about 200,000 subs (to reach 46.6 million). Hulu gained 800,000 in the quarter to stand at 48.0 million, and ESPN+ increased by 600,000 to 24.9 million.

The bad news for Disney, and this is truly bad, is that its growth has stalled out, especially here in the U.S. Disney+ is only a little over two years old and should still be adding millions of U.S. subscribers. That obviously isn’t happening, which is why Disney CEO Bob Iger is panicking with massive layoffs, consolidations, and cost-cutting.

We all know what’s happening here… The grooming chickens are coming home to roost. No decent parent feels safe leaving their child alone with Disney+, which has become a streaming service full of racism, adult sexuality, and pro-mutilation propaganda.

Also affecting the bottom line is Disney’s latest flops. Two animated features that would have normally grossed a billion dollars earned less than a quarter of that. Lightyear and Strange World bombed at the box office due to Disney’s obscene decision to include homosexual plots. These are features aimed at children and no parent wants to exit a theater forced to discuss alternate sexual lifestyles with their five-year-old

Disney has become the entertainment equivalent of a creepy guy in a park holding a lollipop and wearing nothing but a raincoat. Disney has become a child predator and now it’s affecting its bottom line.

Good.

I wouldn’t let Disney near my kids, and the only way this evil stops is through market pressure. If I were king, any parent who subscribed to Disney+ would receive a visit from social services. You are supposed to protect your child’s innocence, not betray it with Disney’s woke porn.

Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

I was having a discussion with my brother and it was about how his AR-10 .300 BLK would do in what I would call a backwoods shooting competition against my 6.5 cm Sig Cross. They are set up for very different things. He wants his as a 300 yd subsonic shooter with a can to shoot things without being noticed. I am trying to set up my Cross to be a precision rifle shooting 700 yds.

His thought was he wants a gun that can throw as much lead down field with more force than a 5.56 but at subsonic speeds with a can to further help stay hidden if the need arose.

This got me thinking, what is the most powerful round I could put on an AR-10 frame in a semi auto form and still be able to stay subsonic, shoot 400 yds, and stay on target between shots for 10 rounds.

Can a 50 BMG be put in a semi auto form? Would it totally blow out a shoulder? Is the tried and true .308/7.62x51 the best for the what he is going for?

Convicted Child Molester Dies After Drinking Water Mixed with Sodium Nitrate in Court

Frisco Police Department
Michael Foster9 Feb 202362

2:24


A Texas man who died soon after ingesting a liquid upon hearing a guilty verdict for child sex abuse charges in August had consumed sodium nitrate, according to a report.
The death of 57-year-old Edward Leclair was ruled a suicide that resulted from the lethal consumption of sodium nitrate, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office informed the Daily Mail.
At the time, the Denton Record-Chronicle noted that it had been unsuccessful in reaching out to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office for comment.
“Leclair, a former Navy mechanic and corporate recruiter, was indicted two years ago on five counts of sexual assault on a person between the age of 14 and 17,” NBC News reported.
In August, Breitbart News explained how a prosecutor in the case recalled the strange scene playing out in court:
According to First Assistant Attorney Jamie Beck of the Denton County District Attorney’s Office, the jury entered, sat down, and the defendant and his counsel stood up.
Moments later, Judge Lee Gabriel began reading the verdict which said Leclair was guilty on all counts.
“It’s during this process that he had a bottle of water with him at the counsel table, and he chugged it,” Beck recalled, adding, “It wasn’t like he was just taking sips of water. He was literally throwing it back, so to speak.”
He had not taken a sip of the substance until the verdict, according to Beck.
Leclair was later moved to a nearby holding cell while the attorneys met to schedule the sentencing proceedings, per the Record-Chronicle. Aware of Leclair’s strange behavior vis-a-vis the water bottle, court officials decided to check on the newly convicted man – only to find him “very much either dead or dying,” according to Beck, as reported by the Record-Chronicle.
“After EMS transported him, I saw him being taken out on the gurney,” Leclair’s attorney Mike Howard reportedly said. “His color and pallor didn’t look good — gray — and then he was taken to the hospital. Beyond that, that’s all I can say.”
Citing Denton County Jail records, WFAA reported that Leclair committed his crimes in “June and July of 2016.” The outlet also noted that he was arrested in 2018.

It's Starting! Second NJ Republican Councilperson Shot Dead in One Week


A Republican councilman in Milford, New Jersey, was fatally shot Wednesday, a week after another councilperson was killed.


Fifty-one-year-old PSE&G worker Russell D. Heller was allegedly killed by an ex-employee in Somerset, Patch.com reported Thursday.


Another NJ councilmember shot dead just a week after slaying of Eunice Dwumfour https://t.co/OH2ezLTxz6 pic.twitter.com/R5JIbUwicX
— New York Post (@nypost) February 9, 2023

Authorities are still investigating the case, but said the shooting was not politically connected to Heller’s elected office or political affiliations.


Zachary T. Rich, the Director of Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners, said in a statement that Heller would be deeply missed, adding he “was a loving and caring father to his daughter and a dedicated and loyal friend to all of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.”


According to law enforcement, Heller was at his workplace when the former employee, identified as 58-year-old Gary T. Curtis, reportedly fatally shot him in the parking lot.

Once the officers found Heller, emergency crews later arrived and pronounced him dead. Detectives eventually located Curtis in a parking lot in Bridgewater Township where officials reportedly found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The suspect had a gun in his possession, and he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
“The investigation remains ongoing to determine a motive. A preliminary investigation found that the shooting was an isolated incident and Heller was the intended target,” the Patch.com report said.
30-year-old Sayreville Republican Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour was fatally shot while inside her vehicle before it crashed outside her home on February 1. That investigation is ongoing.

— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) February 2, 2023
Surveillance video may have recorded the suspect in Dwumfour’s fatal shooting, News 12 the Bronx reported Tuesday.
“The video was recorded around 7 p.m. – right around the time Dwumfour was killed,” the outlet said.

— New York Post (@nypost) February 8, 2023
“The video is not very clear but does match witness accounts that the gunman ran along an area of grass between two buildings and made his escape through a wooded path that borders the complex,” the report stated.
However, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office has not reported details regarding a suspect or information on a motive.
Her unsolved death comes after bizarre incidents in which New Jersey political figures have been killed or targeted for homicide.
In 2020, the husband and 20-year-old son of federal judge Esther Salas were shot at their home in New Jersey, Breitbart News reported.
A suspect in the fatal shooting was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In addition, the state was gripped last year by a criminal case involving what appeared to be a formal murder-for-hire scheme catering to political figures.

Suppressors Dead Air Suppressor Quality

I'm considering getting only my second can for use strictly on bolt action rifles and am considering the Nomad-L from Dead Air. Looking for the most sound suppression and weight is not a concern. Looking to keep it under $1K plus the stamp. That leaves TBAC out before anyone mentions it. In doing some research, I've come across posts about Dead Air's QC being hit or miss. I've seen posts complaining about bad welds, threads that are not concentric with suppressor bore, suppressors that came apart after the first shot, etc. Were these isolated events? In the past? Anyone had issues with Dead Air suppressors recently? I understand they have a good warranty, but the last thing I want to do is mess around after waiting a year for permission to own it. The Nomad-L looks like the ideal suppressor for my needs, if the quality is there.
