It appears the government is preying on the weak as a show of force. They last guy they raided was murdered as well!



A family is desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door and killed their relative in a pre-dawn raid last week.

The FBI is refusing to tell a grieving mother why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am last Wednesday and fatally shot her son.

According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at a residence in Henderson, Tennessee to serve a man named Theodore Deschler an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.


A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.


“I was woken up at about six o’clock this morning. I heard a loud bang. Then I heard a couple more. I heard the loudspeakers, ‘Come out with your hands up. We’re the FBI. We’re not going anywhere.’ Before I knew it, I was coming out to see what was going on and watched them bust out their windows,” a neighbor told WBBJ.

Theodore’s family believes he was unarmed when the agents busted down the door and threw flashbangs into the home.

“It was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100% disabled veteran. He had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it but this was senseless. He didn’t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas,” Theodore’s mother told WBBJ.

The house was destroyed by tear gas, flashbangs and bullets. Most of the windows were busted out.

I really admire Chris Robinson’s videography, editing, and narration on the “Night Crew” hunting show. Tory Cook of MFK calls (Made For Killing)has done outstanding research on coyote behavior, life cycles and vocalizations. His calls are next level. From being a champion coyote caller using diaphragm calls that he makes to his industry standard setting high-quality coyote vocals and animals distress call digital sound library. This is Night Crew episode that I didn’t see coming and stumbled upon, but I’m glad they made this happen. I hope some of y’all enjoy this as much as I did.

Just how fucked up the usps is.
So i put a scope up for sale and a buyer sent me money for it. Next morning i put it in the original box bubble wrap it and box it up. Off to postoffice i go.
Send it priority mail with insurance with expected delivery a few days later. 2 days after expected delivery date its sitting in dallas.
Ok so it is at least moving. Wake up this morning that it was undeliverable or un returnable to sender and sent to lost mail center for processing.
Will refund the buyer his $ and start the long process of a claim as soon as they open and i can get in there for that. Morons i swear. Or maybe i am the moron for thinking a gov agency could actually get something right for a change

When you put your home up for sale....just think it through....your "security system" isn't what most people have in mind.

OK I have what is supposed to be a Palmetto upper. I have bought a set of go nogo gauges to try and start being more meticulous about what I have bought before I shoot them. So putting the go gauge in the chamber and putting the BCG in battery it is flush with the end of the upper reciever. The problem is the No Go gauge does the same thing. Now I have a Wilson upper here and the go gauge works with the BCG in battery and the end is flush with the upper. The No Go however does not allow the BCG to go into battery and the BCG extends past the end of the upper reciever. In the mean time I also took the barrel off and cleaned things and used some of that Mil Spec moly grease for reassembly and torqued to 50 lbs. I am not real impressed with the kind of cheesy aluminum barrel nut and how the handguard mounts to it.

How do I determine if it is the bolt, BCG or barrel to receiver fitup that is the problem? I don't mind getting tools and gauges to figure this out I just don't want to jump in and start buying things without a reason to do so though.

Looking to move my Scar. I love the rifle, but never shoot it. It's the reciprocating charging handle model. Comes with a Deadshot barrel installed (less than 100 rounds on the barrel, shoots sub-MOA easy with FGMM). I opted to sell the factory one and get a match grade with a slightly faster twist than the 1:12. It now has a 22" 1:10 twist barrel that has been cerakoted FDE by Deadshot and is threaded 5/8x24.

It was painted when I got it and I like a good rattle can job so I left it on there. The original color under it is FDE if you feel like removing it. It will come with 9 factory mags. I think I have 2 or 3 painted to match and the rest are all factory black with a handful of them still being new in box.

Package breakdown:

Rifle only w/ 9 mags, no scope or rings, no bipod - PRICE DROP $2,700 shipped

Last Seen in Idaho. Absolutely terrible. 0 BTHP's
The only thing that made this flick tolerable was the lead actress. Definitely table grade.

First,
Im not an optics snob. Reliability is my #1 concern. But I have wondered what my 527, 735 and EP5 would look like against each other at last light. Both the 735 and 527 have been used for the same application. Even though it’s mounted on a Vudoo here

Primary use for my high end optics is crop damage shooting (hunting whitetail deer for 3 months on farm fields with dnr issued permits). This is does only so being able to ID a doe from a spike is important

Let’s get right to the No BS condensed version of what I was looking at

Target:
Abandoned house
550 yards
Gas grill as primary target
At or past legal shooting hours
All with sunshades on

All comparisons were done at the same time, same targets off tripods. All were done at the same powers. Primarily 15 and 25 power

At end of legal shooting light (2011 CST) here’s my thoughts

- NF vs ZCO- Both were very comparable at 15 power. With the ZCO slightly edging the NF in brightness. But very slightly

At 25 power and 27 (27 is max for ZCO) it was apparent. I compared at both powers. Not one set to 25 and other to 27. The grill in the NF appeared to be a grill. Black and stainless. Very obvious. However the ZCO at the same point could see the dials and emblem on the grill very well. While the NF washed it out. I adjusted both through the parallax range and checked for the best spots in both. My results stayed the same.

I also compared the two against farm equipment and siding. The ZCO had the upper hand on the details. At 15 power both were very comparable. The fact the ZCO performed this well at its max power was surprising.

So ZCO definitely had the upper hand in last light ID. But the 7-35 would probably work til last light for my use as well

- Now for the Arken. This is a $500 optic compared to $3600 and $4000 optics. So let’s not pretend they cost the same or we expect the same performance. That said

On 15 power the Arken had a haze. Like a white/washed out haze. Where the ZCO could see the knobs on the grill (this is 5 minutes after legal light) the Arken could barely tell it was a grill. Had I not looked earlier I’d have trouble IDing what I was looking at.

At 25 power forget it. I started at 25 and it was so washed out I looked to see if my scope was fogged up. It was that unusable. The house was a wash let alone the grill. But we’re talking a $500 optic.

- So in the end. The ZCO is a step on the NF but not truly until last light was it to the point where I’d say I’d make a mistake shooting a spike vs a doe. With the light pictured below they were very comparable. The ZCO edged out the NF but it wasn’t “oh my god I’m selling this NF for another ZCO”

This test in fact told me the NF isnt going anywhere. If your picking between both on a table grab the ZCO. But I wouldn’t take a huge loss on the NF to upgrade. Just my opinion

Now other features I’ve noted using both recently,

- The illumination on the ZCO hands down is better than the push button on the NF

- The non rotating ocular on the ZCO hands down beats the NF. Especially running a triggercam

- Turrets. This is where it gets tricky. Honestly the NF turrets are awesome. I like the locking feature on the ZCO but feel and sound definitely don’t have a clear winner. The NF holds its own here

- Reticle MPCT3 vs Mil XT. I still think the Mil XT is the shit. It’s just perfectly designed and I’m used to it. So my preference is still Mil XT

- Parallax. ZCO hands down. More forgiving and the numbers are almost spot on. So you can reliably set it based on range. NF is about 300 yards off and you have to adjust looking through the scope

That’s my take on hunting several times (way more with NF) with both. Then incorporating the Arken just because many wonder, including me, how it stacks up

NF 7-35/Vudoo 360 .22
Arken EP5/Tikka T1X .22

On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.


Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests. And so, these are crimes that are significants. They are felonies. They are not misdemeanors. And one of the things that we need to look at though, rest assured, they are not selling $10,000 purses in poor communities. They’re selling those purses online. They’re selling those stolen goods online. And so, I believe, when you have a crime like that, all of the actors are culpable and need to be dealt with. And so, we need to look at the online sales of stolen property, because that’s what it is.”


Host Elex Michaelson then asked, “There are a lot of viewers that feel like there aren’t enough consequences for crime in Los Angeles. What do you say to those people?”


Bass answered, “Well, they especially focus on that with these retail crime. I think there [are] a lot of misunderstandings about that. These are felonies, and in some cases…these are crimes that do have major consequences. The reforms that people object to have nothing, nothing to do with these crimes.”

HILARIOUS!!!!

The glorious demise of Democrat-run cities marches on with the news that nearly 160 Wall Street firms have fled Democrat-run New York City, taking $1 trillion — with a “T” — in assets with them.
Meanwhile, this same New York City, which is a proud sanctuary city, is drowning under tens of thousands of illegal aliens.
Oh, how I love it when people get what they voted for:

Nearly 160 Wall Street firms have moved their headquarters out of New York since the end of 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion — yes, that’s a trillion with a “T” — in assets under management with them, according to data from 17,000 companies compiled by Bloomberg.
Looking to dodge rampant crime, stiff taxes and an increasingly exorbitant cost of living, 158 fed-up financial firms representing a whopping $993 billion in assets have packed up and left the Big Apple, taking thousands of high-paid employees with them, the data shows.

Click to expand...

Yes, you smug New Yorkers, with your terrible choices and ideas, you basically voted to boot 158 Wall Street firms, their employees and families, and then replace them by importing third-world gangs and welfare scammers.
But at least the mean tweets have ceased.
And where are these 158 Wall Street firms moving? Mostly to our MAGA Utopia, of course. To the South. To Florida and other southern states where we lock up criminals, where our streets, air, and water are clean and safe, where everyone owns a gun but there’s almost no gun violence, where people of all races and creeds live together in relative harmony; where hate crimes, mass shootings, and carjacking are rare; where you can walk the streets at night; where the schools don’t groom, and people mostly mind their own business.

In all, 56 of the New York firms have decamped to Florida, while most of those remaining also headed to warmer states such as Texas and the Carolinas, according to the report. New York isn’t the only major loser, with California also having lost $1 trillion in financial assets under management to Florida, Texas and other lower-cost states.

Click to expand...

Imagine what this drain is doing to New York’s tax base. The city is losing all these millionaires and billionaires. And who’s going to fill all that office space? Who’s going to continue to fund the Lincoln Center and the like? Who will buy or lease those empty apartments and homes?
Leftism is always a recipe for failure, always. Sadly for the left, free people are free to flee leftism, to vote with their feet. See ya!
Don’t feel bad for New York. This is what New York wants. And I hope they get more… A lot more.

NO REFUNDS! FAFO!

So i kind of inherited this rifle and was told it was special. It had been sitting in a case in a garage for probably 2 decades when I opened it up. Has some surface rust but should be able to clean it up. Its a .222 Remington that someone decided to drill the side of so they could add a williams scope mount and it has been drilled for a williams adjustable peep sight. I don't know a ton about these guns but after some research, the Date code is PJK, which should date it to 1962.

So here we have a Remington 700, from the first year of production, with a cool Serial Number (10001) that some dickcheese decided to drill into.

I have the entire gun torn apart and will start restoring everything soon. The trigger works but its all kinds of gummed up. Going to soak it in acetone then lube it up well before reinstalling.

Any idea if this gun had any kind of value if it wasn't molested? Is it possible to fill the mount holes drilled into side (right where it says remington 700). If I do send it out, its going to @LongRifles Inc.

All prices are net to me (PP, Venmo, whatever) and include shipping.

Just out of curiosity I picked up an Arken 5-25x56, I wanted to see what the hype was about. Mind you I have have had some high end glass, SnB, Kahles, Zeiss, NF blaaa blaaa..etc.. And I am not a big fan of Chinese wears but I figured the other guy did the dirty work for me already so second hand ain't so bad. Ok, all this said, here's my 2 cents on this optic.

Turrets: Pretty good, they are easy to set, and the feel is nice and positive, with very discernible clicks, I like them, besides the fact that any turret with just white lines as rev indicators kinda suck. It tracks spot on so far, to me this is one of the most important features. A second rev indicator would take the turrets to another level. Score - 7/10

Retical: Very good, it's not too fat at max magnification, it does not obscure your image, it has nice subtensions right where they should be, a nice center dot for precision application. Score 9/10

Parallax: Is not accurate, it's got that Nightforce issue where the numeric value on the turret is no where near the actual distance value of your focused parallax unison. Granted accurate parallax settings are one of the hardest things to recreate. Score - 5/10

Glass: Not bad at all, sure it's not like my higher end optics but it's clear enough to see blades of grass at 500y, at a mile I can just about read the company name on a porta potty. It's got a wide field of view and a pretty forgiving eye box. I would say it's about the same clarity as the NX8 NF series and maybe just a pinch under the MK5HD but closely behind. Score - 6.5/10.

Build Quality: Seemingly pretty good, it's got a solid 34mm tube, it has a solid feel and the accessories that you can get for it are solid like the scope caps and throw lever. The mounts and rings are pretty good as well. A big plus is if it shits on you then it has a lifetime warranty, that beats the SnB warranty by a long ways. Score 7/10.

If you just laid the optic in my hands and didn't tell me anything about it, besides the fact that it's got Japanese ED glass, and just said "test this out," I would have come back to you and said it's probably worth about $1200 to $1400 bucks. Then if you told me that it came in at under $600 bucks I would be shocked. It gets projectiles down range accurately and very affordably. The moral of the story is that this optic is going to shake things up for the competition, maybe Riton, Sightron, Burris, Athlon and Vortex..etc, is it a good scope? YES it is! is it an SnB or ZCO, no it's not, that said it doesn't have to be.

I am considering doing a 'project' so to speak...that being to create a semi permanent knife sharpening station where I can sharpen a lot of knives rather quickly or with less hassle. This is PRIMARILY aimed at my kitchen, ie cooking, which I often rather enjoy. That said absolutely no one else here takes care of knives or whatever like I would prefer. It took months (or longer) to make them stop putting knives in the dishwasher (for example). We do not have a bunch of 'nice knives'. I have nothing high end or Japanese, but rather cheap(er) but still utilitarian. Still though I like my knives sharp.

The first thing I am looking at is the "Razor Sharp Edge Making System". What that is is basically MDF discs (yeah like the other type of plywood stuff) that are mounted to a bench grinder or bench buffer and you put stuff on each wheel to grind or polish your knife. If you see the videos online it looks very impressive for what it is. If I had high end knives I wouldn't let them anywhere near any kind of electric setup... but seeing how my most expensive cooking knife is probably less than $50 it's no big deal.

I totally get the whole 'heat' thing that a system like this can cause. While I don't have nice cooking knives, I do have fairly nice pocket knives so I do 'get it'. I think my most expensive pocket knife is right around $300 bucks so I do see the appeal, but buying nice cooking knives only to have people put it in the dishwasher or throw it in a drawer with 12 other utensils is a big fat no from me.

Getting a regular bench buffer and installing the wheels on it is very straight forward, which as of now I am tempted to keep it simple. What I DO like however are those little bench top jewelry buffers. The one that I am looking at has variable speeds from 500 to 8000RPM. It takes 4" wheels and is much smaller than a regular bench buffer. One is around 6lbs whereas a big brother more traditional one is more like 30lbs.

If I were to get a smaller one I could use it for many other things--which is mainly why I am considering that, IE more than one use. Plus it's smaller and could be used at the dinner table and then put away. If I do go that route I would have to make my own MDF buffer/polishing wheels. The thickest I could use would be about 3/4 of an inch with about a 4 inch diameter. Plus the arbor size (the hole where the wheels mount) can only go up to 1/4 of an inch. If I go this route it will be all experimental. If I go the 'regular bench buffer' route it's all very straight forward, but it will be a one trick pony. Plus if I did buy a variable speed 'traditional bench buffer' just that alone is several hundred dollars (at least). If I go with the cheaper type it has two modes: stop or go and one speed only.

Anyway I thought I would group source some experiences from the crowd here. Maybe somebody else has done this before or has experience with those types of sharpening wheels, or has a better overall idea. If you have any ideas or think of something that I missed please post it here.
