Really needs to be an expedition clause for capital punishment when irrefutable DNA and/or video evidence is used for the initial conviction. 20 years ago those forms of identification/evidence existed far less, but not in today's America.

Also, screw the 'mentally competent' B.S. If the offender isn't capable of assimilation into society without demonstratedly being *violent* and deadly toward others, he/she needs to be euthanized anyway. This is NOT an argument for removing the mentally handicapped... it is an argument for removing the violent offenders. The stupid legal system is guilty of placing that 'mentally handicapped' banner over the perpetually violent. It is a garbage way to try to deflect blame.

I believe in physical castration for aggravated sexual assault too while we're at it, and capital punishment for the sexual assault of a child.

Keep in mind on the AR brass, is you have no idear on the primer they have used. I bought a bunch of the Sig .270 stuff. Good brass, necks are thicker than Peterson and need an E27 vs a T2 mandrel too keep my neck tension. Took a high anneal code as well. Primer looks like a CCI200, but it's not. I took 10 cases, popped the primers and seated a 200 in them. Same charge etc and I was 18 FPS slower with a lower SD v's theirs.

Not unhappy at all, just a note to keep in mind.

I've been eye-ing that brass and think it might be a decent option for hunting loads.

Cue the “ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain” crowd. lol

People think about the goal of the testing in the wrong way. It's meant to raise red flags about an optic model, not definitively prove all scopes of a line are bombproof/garbage. If you think about it in that way you can find value in it. Let's say someone thinks a Leupold VX6 has a lemon rate of 1/1,000. Well two of them were just tested and both shit the bed. What's the likelihood the droptesters got two lemons in a row? That person might then have to re-evaluate what they think the lemon rate is.

lol If you really want this testing to raise red flags, you need a statistically significant sample size. While a failure rate of 2 in a row sounds unlikely, it is just as likely be a fluke as it is to indicate an actual issue without more data. Anyone trying to draw a conclusion with confidence from such a small sample size would have their brain broken by a basic Stats class.

It’s not that easy. No way that this guy would’ve passed the eye test like the pictures they released of the shooter (who was wearing fitted jeans/not baggy) in the stairwell. I didn’t believe the story they were pushing so I played around with it myself. It led me to believe that he may have had the barreled action removed from the stock.

Lee makes lowers - Alum
AS Design makes lowers - Alum
Leber V2 printable and forsale from places
Theres also other versions of the leber you can print

Super safeties work and are proven
AS design ARC safety seems real nice but not really out yet
Atrius might not work correctly with an MP5

Im still kinda new to the MP5 platform but thats what Ive gathered so far.

Rush was saying that in like 1995. And it ties into my hypothesis that cities are blue because they are anonymous enough to commit those levels of voter fraud. Bring back, vote in person with ID. We need fair and transparent elections. Electronic voting and mailing out ballots to everyone are not.

If you do all your rehab you will be fine in 8 weeks. I had both done, 100% separation on the left and badly torn on the right. Great surgeon, follow the rules and rehab you will be good. I would say I am at 90% of pre damage how much is from the damage and how much is from aging ?? hard to say. I am bumping 70, had them both done in the last ten years.

Mine are a bit more involved. Calcified tendons that needed to be cleaned, bone spurs that needed removal. They had to detach the bicep and reconnect it a bit lower and then full tears on the rotator. Had the left done four years ago with six months of PT. The right was worse than the left so we will see how it goes. Stuck in a recliner for the rest of the week popping meds.

Location?

The OP was about a factory complete rifle so, in that case, it struck me that he was falling for some marketing. I have yet to acquire a proper precision rimfire rifle so not too conversant in those applications. I get the various reamer thing from ordering barrels for larger calibers I shoot but wasn’t aware you could get a 22lr barrel for a specific factory ammo. Learned something new. Thanks!

Click to expand...

Not a problem, I’ve got a barrel from PBB and they chambered it with I believe the lapua reamer from pacific tool. Now does it shoot sk/lapua like a champ, that it does but its shot its best group ever with eley team. So just because its chamber is tailored to a specific ammo doesn’t always mean it’s going to shoot it the best, it does shoot SK/Lapua the most consistently as compared to Eley but that’s to be expected.

You guys using a wrench to tighten your die into the press?

Bumping for relevance.

Anyone load the Berger 215 in an 06 case with a really long barrel?

Looking for load advice.

Scope failures are a waring sign." Maybe sort of, more so with new modles with the caveat, What failed? Are they failing at the same point?

"Drop it on the turret." That little fine threaded interface between your fingers and the scope erector? You must be high as shit.

Go bang the end of bunch of bolts with a hammer and see which ones you can still get a nut on. Throw lawn darts into a crowd. Was the guy who got hit, most likely to get hit. It's variable, the results are variable. I.E based on luck.

If your smashing your turrets into stuff all the time. They make scopes with capped adjustments. BTW

I'll have to get a pic, the lugs on it wallowed out. It was always locked on properly.

If Jesus was to return today, spread the Gospel Truth with love, and kindness, work miracles, call people to repentance and to turn from their sin, these very same people would murder Him .

This is absolutely an attack on Him above anything else. It’s spiritual good vs evil masked in “politics”.

They would certainly try, but when He returns the sword he carries will deflect any attempt and His face will blind any attacker.

In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

A good investigator explores all facets & possibilities of all events, until they are run to ground. Not doing this is how the Truth about events stay hidden, and agendas are advanced. Never discount anything until,... You,... prove it false.

That is not true, and frankly ridiculous. That’s what a conspiracy theorist does and the way one thinks. A good “investigator”, detective, analyst, etc. follows the evidence, and does not speculate about all possibilities and find rabbit holes to go down and waste his time. What you do is the opposite. You disbelieve everything they’re told fact and force it to fit into your worldview. Like for some EVERY SINGLE POST is about evil Jews. Being skeptical and distrustful of the media and the government is wise given the reality, but when you discount every fact and replace it with your biases it’s no better than believing everything they’re told fact. Go to the beginning of this thread and read speculation based on evidence and compare it to the mountain of people chiming in with theories based on their own biases and it becomes abundantly clear who thinks like a good investigator, and who picks and chooses facts, and invents facts, to support their own prejudices.

If investigators did not follow the facts no crimes would ever get solved, and biases and prejudices are usually why crimes go unsolved. Conspiracy is the exception and not the rule.

Only one person can keep a secret. Tell someone or involve someone and it’s not a secret anymore. The truth will out the vast majority of the time.

I don’t trust the government or the media either, but like all liars the lies are mixed with truth, and facts are facts.

Only one Minox ZP5 has been tested and that one passed. If I genuinely thought the droptesting cleared all scopes of a certain model, I'd probably get a ZP5 because I hear they're also great to look through. To me, the droptesting is about raising red flags and establishing trends among optics manufacturers as far as which ones are actively trying to make robust/durable scopes. Nothing more. A Nightforce can still lose its zero I'm sure, it's more about getting an idea for the chance of that happening.

Click to expand...

If they received 2 quality scopes of any brand and both failed to hold zero. I would be more suspect of their testing than the scopes.

Basing assumed lemon rates on questionable testing doesn't seem like a smart way to look at it.

Got some pic's last night from the PD as they are shooting the rifles to resight them back in.
