Fox News host Tucker Carlson reportedly has access to tens of thousands of hours of footage from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, thanks to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Sources informed Axios co-founder Mike Allen that Carlson’s team was in Washington, DC, last week going through some of the footage, and it will begin to roll out on Carlson’s programs in the forthcoming weeks.
The two sides have been communicating on the matter since earlier this month, Allen noted, citing correspondence he has seen. Additionally, the cache reportedly totals a whopping 41,000 hours of footage rather than the 14,000 hours previously reported.
“[T]here was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret,” Carlson told Axios.
“If there was ever a question that’s in the public’s interest to know, it’s what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It’s impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that,” he added.
McCarthy vowed last month to release the January 6 footage while speaking with reporters, as Breitbart News reported, and the move to grant Carlson access marks a significant step.
When asked on January 12 if he would release the videos, McCarthy told reporters, “I want to be very thoughtful about it, but yes, I’m engaged to do that.”

He added:

I think the public should see what happened on that day. I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Where for the first time in the history as a Speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee. We watched the politicization of this. I think the American public should actually see what happened instead of a report that’s written on a political basis.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told TurningPoint USA founder Charlie Kirk days earlier that McCarthy agreed to release the footage as part of a deal he cut with a bloc of Republican holdouts to get the votes for the speakership.
“Kevin McCarthy told us he’s going to get the evidence out in front of the American people, and that means releasing the 14,000 hours of tapes that have been hidden,” said Gaetz. He added that the videos would “give more full context to that day, rather than the cherry-picked moments that the January 6 committee tried to use to inflame and further divide our country.”

Thank you to the 20 patriots who helped EARN this commitment from the Speaker.
Thank you @SpeakerMcCarthy for affirming this commitment you made.
Keeping promises is how trust is built.
I’m growing more optimistic by the day! https://t.co/uYAaT5sG0f

He lauded McCarthy after his January 12 pledge, thanking him “for affirming this commitment.”

Hey y’all. My daughter (11) asked me to post here because she knows what a good bunch we have. A mother to one of her friends has been put on hospice after unsuccessful cancer treatments and the family is in need of prayers. They are in the Chattanooga area, but I’ve been asked to leave names out of it, because we don’t know if the family wants it broadcast. The Lord will know. Thanks!

Out of curiosity I'm about to test 215m primers against known loads with 210m primers.

Predictions ?

More fps with same load as 210m s ? The same fps ? Reach max load with less powder with 215m s. E.S better,worse ,or about the same.?

6 cm , Nosler brass 8th firing not annealed , SuperF 42.0 to max (to be determined) ,115 DTAC coated ",on lands " ( 43.0 is max with 210m @ 2950fps ave.)

Speak now or forever hold yo peace
Will report findings ,when I have them

Good morning gents, I put an order for both an autotrickler V4 (Trickler / scale ) and a supertrickler last year and as my luck would have it they happen to both be ready.

Seeing if anyone would be interested in the Autotrickler V4 before I cancel that order since I’m planning to stick with the supertrickler.

Hi all, I've posted about this rifle before on here, but wanted to put together a story for anyone interested in this rifle. Here's the link to the original thread and the more exhaustive one on long range hunting. The TLDR version is this: do NOT buy this rifle. It does not perform as advertised and is liable to fail you.

My rifle has been to Springfield twice, has spent over 5 months at their facilities, and still suffered a catastrophic failure by the second box of ammo.

Here's the story. I bought my Waypoint 6.5 Creedmoor with the carbon barrel. After 150-200 rounds of 1.5-2 MOA from match ammo, I sent it back to them to fix the accuracy issues. 8 weeks later, they sent me the same rifle back with a new barrel. They didn't tell me why they replaced the barrel other than their tech said it just "didn't look right."

The first time the rifle came back, it shot within their ¾ MOA guarantee when ice cold. However, on the second or third string of fire, it would open up to the 1.5 MOA of the last barrel. I sent it back a second time. After some back and forth with the Springfield warranty department, they agreed to send me a brand-new rifle in 6.5 PRC. Great, a brand new rifle to start fresh from… or so I thought.

After over 14 weeks at their facilities, Springfield sent me the brand new 6.5 PRC rifle. I shot a grand total of 24 rounds through the rifle before the firing pin sheared off at the tip. Attached are pictures of the firing pin sheared off. Poor heat treating and metal quality.

Springfield's lack of ability to get the basic things right is astonishing. An inaccurate precision rifle is not acceptable given what they ask for this rifle, but it is entirely unacceptable that they have an entire batch of new rifles out there with firing pins ready to break. Imagine sinking all the time and money into a hunting trip for your rifle to go click when it's supposed to go boom. I will never purchase another product from this company again.

if you had a LaRue Costa would it be a shooter or safe queen
I have acquired what appears to be an unfired LaRue Costa recently and badly want to shoot it buy my buddy says its too collectable for an edc while at the ranch I would mainly use it for plinking or varmint when the opportunity presents its self . what are ya'lls thoughts i'm not a collector and use all my firearms but i would hate to devalue a collector tough decision

Okay, long time lurker first time poster.

I’ve caught the SPR bug and am in the process looking for an optic and am not sure what reticle is best for the application. I’m planning on shooting out to 600. Here is the list of my considerations:

NX8 - fc dmx
NXS 2.5-10 mil
MK5 2-10
MK5 3.6-18 (not sure which reticle)
MK6 3-18 tremor 2 or H59
Razor 1-10 mil

Trying to stay around 2K max.

I haven’t done much at distance and this will really be my first time stretching my legs. I’m using a 16 inch noveske barrel.

Pros and cons to any of these optics? Any I’m not considering but should?

Thanks!

So, I may be weird … but I just realized that while I had Covid this week that I am super stir crazy while doing my 5 day quarantine at home and start spending large sums of money. Last time I had it was last spring and I bought 2 damn scope during it… this time I found myself looking at buying a AMP Annealer yesterday and today I have been seconds short of buying a Omega Planet Ocean GMT… not that either of these are new things I think about buying, but I actually had to reason with myself so I didn’t buy either of them.

Anyone else experience this weird urge to buy random stuff while they were stuck at home quarantining?

And if you can’t tell, the 2 times I have known that I have he’d this damn thing it has been like a cheesy cold making me a bit tired. But also causing me to get super stir crazy.

I’m totally new to semi auto rifle builds so I have a few basic questions. When I say new to them I mean totally green. I own some semi 22lr’s and shotguns, but haven’t played around with very many semi auto rifles.

Not in any rush, but I’m thinking about a new build/purchase. I have plenty of precision bolt rifles, but never messed around with semis. Looking at 6mm arc for the chambering. Goals are an accurate platform for plinking out to 1,000, but also useful to hunt deer/coyotes with. I would be reloading for this, and prefer something on the lighter weight side for hunting.

Is it worth buying a complete rifle, or buy in pieces over time? I don’t have a budget at the moment, but I’m not necessarily budgeting on the highest end. Lowest cost without sacrificing performance I guess.

I’m thinking a 20” barrel, and would use it with my TBAC U7. Likely add a butt stock with adjustable cheek pad, and top it with something in the 4-18 mag range scope.

Looking around it seems there are plenty of uppers in the $600 range, but I have no idea if that’s a low end price for an upper or what? I don’t need the fanciest upper on the market. I don’t really care if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but if it isn’t a reasonably accurate gun then I’ll be disappointed. Yeah, I know a semi won’t be as accurate as my bolt guns, but somewhere in the 1 MOA range of accuracy would suffice.

I see some uppers like Atheris offer adjustable gas block options. Is that a must or a luxury? Other than the upper what would you recommend to round out the build if you were to buy parts and build yourself?

Thanks for any advice.

I’m pretty new to competition stuff but a long time hunter. I have an NRL22x and an NRL Hunter match under my belt, and I’ve RO’d a gas gun match. I built a 6GT that I want to start doing some single day matches with and I need to glass it. I’m in the Burris XTR III price range on it, and I’m wondering if the illumination is worth it? I’d be fine with the regular SCR-MIL and think I may prefer it as I dial elevation 100% of the time. This rifle will be 100% competition only - so is there a point in illumination?

In excellent condition. C stamped receiver, dot matrix C on carrier, MPC marked bolt.

$400 shipped. Zelle or Venmo F&F no note accepted only.

No trade.

*UPDATE* With help from members here and upon further inspection these don't seem to be splits but just folds from processing. I admit after firing some of them sure looked like being split but I cannot see any light through them.

Hey guys I just wanted to give out a little warning here for those of you that picked up some recent production Lapua 6BR brass. I was able to pick up 500 peices of much needed from the last run few weeks ago. Today I went out and fired 25 and after cleaning and close inspection noticed that there were case splits happening on 20 of the 25 pieces. After close inspection of chamber and scratching me head I started to inspect some virgin brass from that lot. There are distinct lines at the neck/shoulder junction. The first picture is once fired the second picture is virgin brass.

Im not here to bash Lapua and I have emailed them about the issue. I just wanted to put the info out there just incase some others have gotten some of this and I would recommend that you inspect carefully.

Selling a used Giraud case trimmer with 5 case holders. 6xc, 6bra, 6 creedmoor, 6.5 creedmoor, 308 win, and one case cutter. Bought it used from another member here. Going a different route.

Why is this so cheap you ask?

Because I took the 7 axis (dremel tool) to the bolt to smooth out the function of it. I went to far then had to weld and re-profile the cocking ramp that the fire pin rides against.

It functions perfectly and was shot in a match yesterday though it doesn't look perfect anymore.

Everything has to start somewhere and for us, it’s with the Zeroing process

We talk a lot about the Shot Process, question, what is your Shot Process ?

Beyond my precision rifle classes, I am lucky enough to sit on others, the Riflekraft, CR2, etc, I‘m endless observer and like to solve problems when needed, identify an issue and I want to fix it.

Zeroes, zeroes have me on edge. I mean it’s easy enough, but is it. Problems in our shooting can start and stop with a bad zero or misunderstood one. Misunderstood is the right word too, We often see people the scope is set to 4.2 and you ask them, What is that, and they reply, my zero… why is it there, well I figured, A, B, C, which none of them are relevant. Why is the zero so misunderstood ?

How can I address it, cause i want to address it. It‘s a process not an event so it needs to follow the correct format for the process.

Chris had a shooter out last week and several times it was, “If you refine your zero that will fix that”. Okay let’s talk refinement here, i want to hear from you guys so I can clean this up

What are some of the techniques you use to zero ?

How would you refine your zero ?

Do you have a zero shift from position and do you consider putting that into your zero ?

I have a plan to solve this but i need more input, what confuses people, what is a first hand, no shit it happened me, are you fucking kidding me zero story ?

I want to solve this with a process, A, B, C, for max efficiency
