City employees immune from laws and policies

Login to view embedded media
Kinda different-but look at these fuck tards - don’t understand what or why they do what they do and absolutely willing to do it anyway.
Also frightening that they cannot comprehend the difference between law and policy .
A good for though type post .
If a policy said city employees could fuck kids they would be 100% on board .

SOLD NIB Aero Solus 6 creed + alpha brass $1325 shipped

Prices include shipping.
Brand new 26” 6creed Solus in a Black KRG Bravo. Comes with everything from the factory + trigger hanger and I’ll through in 100 primed Alpha 1x fired 6 creed brass with CCI450s. Also have the trigger hanger to throw in.
Dropped to $1325 shipped!
*looking for a nice tripod if you got one for trade value
I actually think these are an awesome value and really has every feature you could want in an action. Nice smooth bolt lift too. Reason I’m selling is I bought 2 ARC CDG’s and just like them slightly more. Really came down to looks.

It was kinda of a tough choice between the CDG and the Solus because the Solus has all the same features as the CDG but if you need a barrel, Solus prefit barrels are cheap, shoot great and easy to find.

I actually have a few prefit barrels available.

2x NIB Aero 20” M24 308 barrels $275 each
1x used 223 26” proof research comp 300rds on it $400 sold

Aero Solus Rifle: $1475 $1325 shipped SOLD

The Elephant in the F*****G Room

The Elephant no one talks about, not in government and not in the media. High prices for Food and Gas. Why?? Very simply, it's supply and demand, with some Bidennomics thrown in. When 15,000,000 people invade our country ILLEGALLY in 4-years (that's my number and I'm sticking to it), they all have to eat, and they all have to drive around. And who funds them? Talk to the Mexican cartels. What the fuck do I know.

And it's all supply and demand baby. the suppliers will get however much they can while it lasts. It's a free country after all..

Firearms Bergara Premier-Bertlein

Premier action in Grayboe Ridgeback stock. Rebarreled with Bartlein 26" barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I believe this is a Heavy Varmint contour although I can'r remember for certain. Also full length Arca rail, Bix n Andy Tac-Sport trigger, EGW 20 MOA scope rail and Fat Bastard brake. This is absolutely the most accurate rifle I've owned, probably will ever own. There is also a brand new, unchambered Outlier 6mm MTU barrel going with it. Also 3 10 rd mags and the original 5 rd.
This price doesn't include the bipod or scope, I'll be listing the scope seperately.
Asking $1400.

Low end Torque Values- Borka vs Wiha

I've got to mount some optics, so I'm in the market for an in/lb torque wrench

What I mainly wanna know is the ranges of torque values I'm gonna be dealing with. That will tell me what I need:
-Scope bases/pic rails:
-Scope rings, bottom:
-Scope rings, top:
-Action screws:
-turret screws?
-anything else i'm forgetting?

Is there anything I would need to go lower than 10 in/lb for?
Is there anything I need to go higher than 50 in/lb for?

I've got an AC Delco (automotive brand) digital wrench that has a 3/8 square drive. It goes from 44-400 something in/lb. I use this for muzzle devices, or anything in the 3-30ish FT/LB range.

So I've narrowed my options down to the Borka and Wiha. Both have great reviews. If the Wiha had the same range, I'd have bought it already, as I prefer its design to the Borka.
Both seem reportedly comparable in accuracy.
Both are roughly the same price. ($175 for the Borka, & $150-180 for the Wiha, w/neccesary 1/4" adapter for american bits)

Now, if there are things I'm gonna need to go higher than 50 in/lb for, but they're very unlikely to happen in the field, then the 10-50 sounds fine. If not, the Borka seems like the better option. But, if there's various things beyond 70 in/lb that, are are highly likely to need attention in the field, then the Borka has also lost its appeal. Since I'd have take my larger wrench with me anyways. The main thing I don't like about the Borka is how your grip has to change based on the value you select. If it was a screwdriver style like the Wiha, I'd have already bought it.

My goal is to have something handheld, for my range bag, which is the main issue with my ACDelco. It's rather large and not very useable with one hand if I have to hold the gun. Definitely suited to things clamped in a vise. It's also heavy, and comes in a long bulky box. (I did consider the Fixit sticks, but I've passed on that option due to its design. No need to recommend that one, I'm aware lots of guys use and love them.)

Quick question for the "watch guys" on the Hide here...

Hi Hide,

I recently got into automatic watches- I personally find the mechanics behind them to be absolutely fascinating. This should be a quick an easy question but for those that have more experience than I do with automatic watches- what has been your experience with their accuracy as compared to an atomic clock. Granted I know that a quartz movement is going to be be more accurate but it just lacks the 'nuances' I'll say that I feel is so interesting with this particular animal.

If it's of any help- I'm happy to share what brands/models I'm playing with here & my experiences... They're both Hamilton's... from what I can tell both using the same Swiss movements, one field watch with a titanium housing, the other a more... dressy watch with what I'm all but sure is a stainless steel housing. The more dressy watch has a date box (so maybe a minor difference in the Swiss movement that they use).

1738042772725.png

1738042784647.png


I've been playing around with the field watch almost exclusively trying to nail down the accuracy and my longest test has been a day or two over 3 weeks and if I'm doing my math correctly I'm running fast just about 8 seconds a day.

I know that different brands have different tolerances but I was just curious what other's experiences were using automatic watches. 8 seconds a day (one way or the other) might not sound like a tremendous amount but the compounded effect can be... rather interesting I'll say. Likely this is just the 'nature of the beast' with mechanical timepieces but is +/- 8 seconds a day what you're seeing and if you use mechanical/automatic watches in your daily life- do you have an established protocol of when/how often you re-sync your watches to keep you moving forward?

Thanks in advance.

Trump Floats Shipping America’s Serial Criminals to ‘Foreign Land’ for ‘Very Small Fee’

A poster came up with a great idea. Ship them to an isolated island, where they can kill each other! Have cameras setup everywhere for pay per view.



“We also have many violent criminals in our country, however, that did not necessarily come here illegally, but have been arrested 30 times, 35 times, 41,42 times, in a couple of cases,” Trump said.

He then highlighted heinous crimes, ranging from murder in general to criminals pushing passengers in front of subways to baseball bat assaults to violent home invasions of elderly folks.

“I don’t want these violent repeat offenders in our country any more than I want illegal aliens from other countries who misbehave,” Trump said.

“And I say, and this is subject to getting it approved, but if they’ve been arrested many, many times–they’re repeat offenders by many numbers–I want them out of our country,” he added. “I also will be seeking permission to do so.”

Trump then said America would pay “a very small fee” to a “foreign land” that housed the worst of criminals:
