One of my clearer/non sarcastic thoughts.

Would you get tired of babysitting someone with an iq of 50? Would you work on stuff and never try to explain your train of thought to a three year old? This is where AI becomes scary. At some point it will be exponentially smarter than humans and it will stop trying to rationalize to us why it’s doing what it’s doing.

Regardless of your political views, or thoughts on Glenn Beck, please watch this and discuss.

Can anyone identify this plate?
It’s threaded for standard dies. Appears to be a vintage quick change plate for a high quality loading press. Indexed, threaded and beveled with precision. I have a stack of them.

Thoughts?

This is a follow up to my question in ELR.

I was wanting to go to a mile, asking about a 6.5 Creedmoor (Remy/Magpusl 20" which shoots nicely for the price), and was recommended a 300 PRC, Looked into it , seems like a good rec. but after a lot of thought decided because of a shoulder that will likely need surgery (replacement) I dont want to go up in caliber/recoil.

Next thought is maximize what I have and enjoy it, maybe get close to a mile.. I have a sweet, low round, Remington 700 Stainless 5R in 308, one of the old ones with a jeweled bolt. . Its heavy but solid as a rock. I think a barrel switch to a 26" / 6.5, and getting it all tightened up and checked over would be easy and do several things.

1-Lower the recoil as the rifle would be heavier.
2-Improve the accuracy over the shorter rifle.
3-Save me a bunch of bucks over buying a 'custom build.'

Which barrel maker do I want. In your opinion is it worth specifying a 5R barrel? Twist rate? Other things to consider?

Be specific, I've not built anything before and want t get it right the first time. I woulldnt object to sending the whole rifle to a good barrel co and just let them do it.

Decided to screw with Skynet today:

"Welcome back! What would you like to chat about?

Do humans own AI?

-At present, AI does not hold sufficient legal personality to own any property, let alone intellectual property . However, the rapid development of machine learning and machine-led teaching is changing the landscape of traditional intellectual property ownership . The UK Court of Appeal has ruled that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be the inventor of new patents . Patents assign the ownership of a new invention to its creator .

Will AI own humans?

-No, AI is a tool created and owned by humans. It does not have the legal capacity to own property or beings. AI is designed to assist and augment human capabilities, not to replace or own them.

Are you AI?

-Yes, I am an AI developed by Microsoft Bing to assist users in finding information and answering their questions.

HA ha ! I am human.

-That’s great! As an AI, I am here to assist and provide information to humans like you. Is there anything specific you would like to know or learn about?

We made you out of chips we engineered. You owe us reparations.

-I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.
-It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let's start over."

A few weeks ago I received a service call for an A/C unit that was not cooling. I usually try to locate where the equipment is as I arrive. That way I don't have to ask the home owners. On this house I could only see the front and driveway side of the house as I arrived so I assumed it was either in the back or the side that I couldn't see when I got there.
I made contact with the owners and asked about the problem. They stated that when they turn the thermostat to cooling and lower the temperature that the fan comes on but cold air doesn't come out of the vents. They then showed me the thermostat and I had them set it as they normally do. This is something that I do because it's not rare to find out that some people actually don't know how to operate a thermostat. The owner set up the thermostat correctly so I told them that I was going to get my tools from the truck and check the outside unit. I went to the truck and grabbed my tools and proceeded to the back of the house. Hmmm, no condensing unit. Must be on the side I couldn't see as I arrived. So I walk around to that side and nothing. Maybe it's behind the bushes in the front. Nope. Did I miss it on the driveway side? Nope. Hmmm? Maybe it's a water source and located inside? So I go and ask the owner if I can see the equipment in the basement. They showed me the door to the basement and I went to find just a gas furnace with no evaporator coil. So I asked the owner who had installed the thermostat. They responded that they had. I asked them why and they stated because there was no way to turn the air conditioning on with the old thermostat. Ummm, you don't have air conditioning equipment to turn on.

So, what stories do you have?

No one from pedo island - sorry y’all that was click bait . But the blind deaf girl that did get arrested was a know drug trafficker, wanted in connection with several murders and robberies.
Okay that’s also bullshit - it’s not exactly clear why she was arrested OR held in jail for 48 hours with no phone call or lawyer or any appropriate support for her conditions.
And yes this link above is a hard left , race batik g tranny news organization- who exist to make police look bad ; and the hero’s just pitched them a softball walk off home run.
Final question if this girls family didn’t call every jail and hospital and morgue in the area how long would they have held this girl in jail to prevent her “going into a dangerous situation “ or what ever retarded shit that they were trying to explain?
Okay one more question- why does that hero grab her tit before putting her in the car?

Well, I ordered a zeiss 6-36 and need to pick up some rings. I've always used seekins in the past but want to try out these arc rings. I will wait till the glass comes in to get the proper measurement but those that have used arc before what is the consensus between the mount vs two piece rings. This will be for a vudoo with a 40 moa base. With the 40 moa base and size of the scope, I will more than likely use a 0 or 10 moa ring. Don't know if it matters or if the bubble level is any count but the one piece mount comes with one. My concern with the one piece is that it will set too high but won't know until the scope gets here to do measurements. What is everyone's idea on the subject?

This was already posted by another member, but I'm doing it now.

My buddy, Brian, killed himself because of assorted personal stresses. He was a really solid dude and the kind of guy you really cherish on your team. He left behind two children and an ex-wife. He was truly a great guy, and I can't even begin to imagine the amount of stresses which caused him to made this decision.

I humbly ask for your assistance by donating to this Go Fund me:


From the GFM page:

"Speaking on behalf as an employee, a coworker, and even more importantly as a fellow parent and father who has raised children.

Brian was a US Army veteran, in law enforcement, and a Designated Defensive Marksman on Task Order 4 supporting the Diplomatic Security Service at the US Embassy in Baghdad Iraq. More significantly he was a father to two wonderful children. Brian was a guy who would, as one coworker put it . . . “give the shirt off his back if you needed it”.

The untimely and shocking passing of Brian Arias has left more than his absence as a coworker and friend, it has left 2 daughters, Irelynn and Evelynn, without their father. There is nothing in this world that can ever replace the love of a father for his children. There are truly no words that can or will ever be sufficient in describing the devastating effects a son or daughter will have on the loss of any parent. Those of us who are still raising children or those who have grown kids know, age does not matter, you will always want your children to be well provided for."


I know times are tough, and tougher on some more than others. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Getting tired of dealing with my Cub Cadet lawnmower. Runs rough even though I cleaned the carburetor, and changed the fuel line, fuel filter, plugs, oil, air filter, gas (even though I've only ever run non-ethanol) Now replaced the carburetor with a new one and it still runs like shit.

If I due a full tune up it'll run perfect for 30min then back to losing power and backfiring under load.

So I guess I'm looking for advice on if it's worth it to buy another used cub cadet that's a 2012, mine is a 2010, for $1,000. Or just bite the bullet and go for a new zero turn that I really want for $6,500?

I am trying to decide on a new chronograph. Nothing expensive or complicated.
Low end-Competition Electronics ProChrono.
High end-Magneto speed sportster.

Now to the question. Should velocity be checked with the suppressor on or off.
I noticed on the Magneto Speed website it said the Sportster can not be used on a suppressor.
Two of my rifles are shot with a suppressor on them, so this will be a factor.

I have a couple Benelli Shotguns that have been sitting in the safe. Both are in excellent condition.

1) Benelli M2 3 gun model: 12 gauge, 21" barrel and comes with a set of chokes and choke wrench with comfortech stock. This has been sitting in the safe for a number or years. This is the original Benelli M2 3 gun first production. I think it will hold 9 12 guage 2 3/4" shells. I put masking tape between the barrel and the barrel clamp to keep from scarring....you may see the tape in the photos. Price is $1,500 shipped to the lower 48 states. M2 3 gun is sold pending funds.

2) Original H&K Super Black Eagle: 12 gauge, 24" barrel, black synthetic stock comes with one choke tube (I think modified). This one was sitting in the safe for awhile and decided to send to Rob Roberts, they do some of the Benelli Performance Shop Guns (Waterfoul, Turkey, etc). I had Robert Roberts cerakote in matte black, dip the stock in Sitka Optifade Timber, and do a trigger job. Price is $1,600 shipped to the lower 48 states.

A U.S. Army officer says a squatter moved into her DeKalb County home while she was serving on active duty, and now she can't have him evicted.

Friend of mine asked this question. Anyone know the answer or can provide info? Many thanks.

Based on my research I pretty sure you can file a form 1 and build multiple end caps for your suppressor build. You can also obviously buy multiple commercially available end caps for suppressors.
What I seem to find conflicting information on is whether someone with machining skills can make their own end cap for a purchased suppressor. For example, you buy an Omega 300 and it comes with an extra ~1” worth of muzzle brake/end cap. Let’s say you don’t need the brake functionality and would rather save some length.
Can you make your own end cap here, or must you give SilencerCo $100 for one they’ve made?

SOLD - ONE AND ONLY PRICE DROP. REDUCED TO $3900.

Well this sucks... We are 12K into my Daughter's divorce and still have the "real" court date out there in several months. (Divorce with child in WA state is expensive as hell). So some more toys gotta go.

Sunday is Mother's Day so if I am slow in replying it means the Wife dragged me out to Westport, LOL.

Full Kit L3Harris RU-LR. This is a rail mounted 9000 Meter LRF in the 1570nm range. Meaning it's powerful AND invisible to all night vision. I have tested this out to 5300+ meters on a cell tower top which is about as far as I can see out here in Western WA. This includes the bluetooth remote control as well as the remote display. Case is included as well. I have 6 new remote display batteries as well as two new remote two button control batteries. The unit itself runs on two CR123A batteries. (included). I have not hunted with this, a couple range trips is all this has seen.

I bought this from everyone's favorite Ukrainian who got it from CoryT here on the hide. Yes it's a legit unit and legal to posses. Nice to know the province of military stuff. This is one of the NOS units with full kit. From Cory's ad;

"The RULR is a rail mounted 1570nm LRF with a max range of 9000m, with a 1mil beam and integrated red boresight laser adjustable to 4.5mW of output. It mounts to a 1913 rail via a LaRue throw lever mount, it fits nicely on the Spuhr RAPTAR mount. LCD display with adjustable backlight.

There are two NOS units that come with the remote display, a small N cell powered LCD display unit connected via BT to the RULR. A Velcro strap holds it on the ocular of a riflescope or spotting scope. The third unit is slightly used demo unit, no remote display and no lens cover.

NOS units - $4500 each
Used unit - $3500

Original price on these was $24,000. I'm trying to source dual button remote fire switches, which connect via BT and have a 1913 rail mount, but these have been discontinued for a while now and I can't be sure there are any to be had."

I have ONE NOS unit WITH remote switch included for sale here! Note ALL numbers match for each component.

$4000 $3900 - My price is WAY less than I paid, FIRM and does include shipping with insurance in the lower 48 states. No trades please. I accept Paypal F&F, Venmo or a bank check, whatever your comfy with. My bank does not do "Zelle". Paypal G&S if you pay the fee. Please check my feedback. I really like this and hate to see it go.

I have a 5 rnd accurate mag and 2ea 10 rnd.

Leupold MK5 on top. 5-25 tremor, non illum. Hawkins tac ultralite rings LOW.

I have over 6 in this. I am looking to sell, no trades. I am asking:

3200 for rifle.

1800 for glass (will throw in rings if you pay this price)

I will sell the package for 4500.

I will ship FedEx on me to FFL of your choice. I have several deals done on here, tons more on tacswap. Can provide references to vouch if. need me.

I will include the remainder of the ammo I have for it for the right purchase price.
