Do I have this correct?

Members of a known terrorist organization and international gang shot 5 people in December and local talent did nothing and today feds arrested 12 members of said terrorist organization including the 2 wanted for the mass shooting that killed three? Did I get that correct ?
Not one state or local law enforcement agency was willing to to anything , but the feds swept up the entire Clique in a day with no shots fired and recovered several guns and narcotics?



It’s almost like they abandoned their oath, is it out of fear , because of “orders” from in high or was it a business arrangement where they got paid to be strictly hands off?

Dmr/ precision ar type trigger

I have my ar. Originally built 2010ish and been changing parts out to update it over time. Quad rail is now a strike mlok, comp switched for thunderbeast flash hider to ultra 7 Gen 1. Leupold mark ar 3-9 switched to vortex strike fire to nothing currently but going 2.5-15 direction.

Latest Pic. Vert grip gone, pic rail gone replaced by mdt arca rail this week, strike fire off on something else.

Currently has a 3lb timney competition single stage. Bought it without knowing much. Looking at going more 2 stage cause it would be nice to be able to touch the trigger and know I'm on without it going off.

What do you all use on your more precision type rigs?

Have done some searching in this forum but haven't seen much about some of the options. Triggertech duty vs competitive, timney targa short vs long, or any of the others.

Her legal team says judicial immunity is an absolute bar to prosecution of a judge .

No matter how many crimes they commit or how severe



On video helping an illegal invader - woman and child abuser escape federal detention- and they are calling for judicial immunity. This sounds vaguely familiar- seems there is another related group that claims immunity ALOT no matter how terrible or inexcusable the act they commit .

Gunsmithing What exactly am I trying to clean from my barrel?

Lots of y’all have shared so much great info in my rookie barrel cleaning thread and it got me thinking.

I know the obvious answer is we clean to remove carbon from burning powder and then, if we feel that there is copper buildup, we remove that.

There’s so much debate over how clean is enough, but what is happening in a dirty barrel that affects accuracy?

There’s so much heat and friction happening in a microsecond, and if the jacket is engaging the rifling, it’s exiting the barrel at the same speed and spin as it always does.

Right? What is happening to a bullet in a barrel that’s had 350 rounds through it versus a perfectly clean barrel?

Does some fouling help? Is a barrel that has a single round through it “dirty” and therefore (theoretically) less accurate than a perfectly clean barrel?

Rifle Scopes Interesting observation

My scope and levels never seemed to agree on the Vudoo. Never had trouble hitting targets but it or the level or the rifle was always off.

So, yesterday, I spent a good bit of time with a quality carpentry level getting the chassis, my scope and the scope level all speaking the same language. (my small shop deck was perfectly level, imagine that).

Well I got everything squared away and packaged up for the trip today. When I got the rifle out, lined up on the target, the reticle had a strong left (top) right (bottom) cant. Apparently I can’t get cant right. So, I put the top of the reticle on the top of the berm, and guess what, the after market scope level had shifted way high on the two hour drive from our home to Howard Prince gun range. However, the built in level on the chassis was now reading quite level. And by all appearances,, the scope reticle is now level.

Here is the interesting observation. Despite not changing anything but the cant, the point of aim moved to the right 1.5 mils to the right at 50 yards. It came right back, with the windage adjustment but that almost seemed rather extreme considering how little I actually moved the scope. The bottom rings were not moved and the top rings were only loosen. Interesting.

Not a problem but it sure brings home the point, even the slightest adjustment to the scope mounting, one be especailly sure to get to the sight-in range to check things out.

Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

I bought a Dead Air nomad TI XC to put on a new Seekins Precision Havak in 6.8 Western. Before getting through a box of ammo, the bolt lift on an expected round became impossibly heavy. I went back-and-forth with Seekins on this, including sending the rifle back to them twice. One thing that was noticed, was a heavy carbon ring inside the chamber. But I was hesitant to believe that this brand new suppressor was the problem, but ultimately stuck my AB Raptor find the rifle and the problem disappeared.

Then today, I mounted the Dead Air on my Tikka TX3 in .308 Winchester and the exact same problem occurred, even though the 308 obviously has far less pressure. I have shot the Tikka they ton, always suppressed, and used the same ammo today that I've always used.

I can't come up with any other explanation than it is the fault of the suppressor. Somehow it must be causing too much back pressure and pushing back into the chamber.

Does anyone else have any other thoughts on what it could be and why?
I spoke with Dead Air today and their initial response was that this was not something they are seeing.

Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

Not sure where best to post this, assume this forum is section is as good as any.

I am planning to fly to Europe which likely involves going through the USA with a rifle.
I've done a lot of research and found the requirements for travelling to the USA (need a ATF 6NIA form) but have read that it is not required if just transiting the US. I have applied for a 6NIA form anyway but not sure it'll be approved as I don't meet the requirements (don't have a hunting permit or a US match invitation).

I have read if you don't clear customs that you don't need any paperwork for the US, but I'll likely be going through LAX and need to change terminals which requires me to clear customs.

Has any of the foreigners on the Hide been in this situation and can offer guidance?

Maggie’s Homeland Security blocking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students

Rueters
Summary

- Homeland secretary orders termination of Harvard student visa program

- Cites alleged antisemitism and coordination with Chinese Communist Party

- Harvard calls move unlawful, pledges support for foreign students

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students on Thursday, and is forcing existing students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the department to terminate the Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, the department said in a statement. Noem accused the university of "fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party."

Harvard said the Trump administration move - which affects thousands of students - was illegal and amounted to retaliation.

The clampdown on foreign students marks a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s campaign against the elite Ivy League university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which has emerged as one of Trump's most prominent institutional targets. The move comes after Harvard refused to provide information that Noem had previously demanded about some foreign student visa holders who attend the university, the department said.

“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments," Noem said in a statement.

Harvard rejected the allegations and pledged to support foreign students.

“The government’s action is unlawful," the university said in a statement. "This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission.”

The university said it was "fully committed" to educating foreign students and was working on producing guidance for affected students.

Harvard enrolled nearly 6,800 international students in the 2024-2025 school year, amounting to 27% of its total enrollment, according to university statistics.

Trump, a Republican, has undertaken an extraordinary effort to revamp private colleges and schools across the U.S. that he says foster anti-American, Marxist and "radical left" ideologies. He has criticized Harvard in particular for hiring prominent Democrats to teaching or leadership positions.
