Finally wrapping this project up. It rained off and on all weekend here so we found something to do in the barn. Blade carrier and stump jumper on. New blades and blade bolts.
Got my helper bolting out the rear chain guards and the tail wheel while I work on the front chain guards.


Turned some new hitch pins out of some kind of stainless roundstock I had laying around. Top link required a bushing.


Ignore the train wreck of a shop in the background.

Have to agree with you.

When Graham does a real life imitation of Slim Pickens riding a nuclear bomb out of a bomber onto enemy territory make sure to get a video of it and post it on Youtube for the world and myself to see. Until then he needs to STFU about sending American soldiers to free and create liberty and democracy in a foreign country. Obviously he hasn't studied history to see how that's turned out in the past for the U.S. .

Despite their mouthing slogans like “Thank you for your service”’endlessly… a lot of politicians regard the military (and other uniformed services) as little more than dogs or cattle… who are not smart enough or valuable enough to be political leaders (or educated at Harvard) like they were.

I think that is one very big difference with Trump. He may be a billionaire, but he has always had “working class” attitudes. He has also been broke a couple of times… when empires collapsed. He genuinely empathizes with the man on the street whose kids end up as the guys at the sharp end of the spear.

Where many others regard them as little more than disposable cannon fodder or pawns to be sacrificed for their great careers as statesmen.

Just an impression…

I think it's fairly typical for bolt actions to have 45-50 thou of firing pin protrusion. The headspace would have to be off a *lot* for the firing pin to not fully crush the pellet in the primer and ignite the powder column. @RegionRat might have better hard numbers on that.

Either DEI or too much dependency on technology to run things.

It’s no different than Doug posting Cameraland specials.

So to be clear, if you put batteries in these, even if it is completely dark, you can see things. Animals really pop. It is actual black magic.

Sal on the recent ship collision. GPS spoofing potential a factor.

They're in the middle of the open ocean and both ships are the size of a building, visibility has to be like 5-10miles out there, GPS is no excuse.

Could we drop him on Qum?

(Note to all Glowies... this is satire. This is not an actual serious call to drop Lindsay Graham on Iran. I do not have the means or opportunity to drop him on Iran. Nor do I actually advocate this at any level. Besides, even we aren't going to be that cruel to the Iranians!)

$325 shipped so I can ship this out on the same trip as the barreled action that was in it.

Appreciate that! Hoping the same.

I had a gas tube for an AR take 89 days to be delivered....domestically. What sucks, it was a special order custom made gas tube, ordered a new one, waited, it was made, sent to me, I painted it, send it back to the customer via UPS this time, and both were delivered the same f'in day.

I use MTM cases. I write down the load info on tape like others above and also have my rounds numbered by sharpie just in case something gets out of order or gets dumped.

The fact that it can’t be questioned should be the biggest red flag. Having the pro-2A stuff get passed won’t mean very much after 10 years of unmitigated surveillance state fuckabout

Yeah it'll be a pretty moot point. Probably why they're giving it up.

I've yet to have a malfunction since switching to the G mags...

Just a couple years or so we did exactly that, from ships and aircraft we shot down at least half of the incoming missiles. We even bragged about it. No secret.

I remember.
Never said or insinuated otherwise.

My only point in the post was that I had a difference of opinion with sloporsche regarding the degree of our involvement versus US planes over Iran. So.... I tried to frame the context of my reply accordingly.

Mediocre results with Tenex. 10 shot groups besides number 13.
Didn’t have Lapua products in hand until after this range trip, but hoping to try some Center X during Sundays zero period before the monthly match.

the Reloading Depot is probably a more appropriate place to search / post
