Is Russia done pretending?

There are seven companies producing 155s for nato. GD will be up to 100k a month by end of 2025. That’s one out of seven. It was making 14k a month in 2023. The US does not have to make an equal amount of artillery shells to what Russia is cranking out. We could if we wanted to, tho. The point is that nato can crank out all the ammo it needs.

No it can't.

Tell me where we source almost all our nitrocellulose from. You know, the stuff that makes the projectile shoot out of the barrel of the 155.

1 x 155 round uses the same amount of nitrocellulose, BTW, that 1000 rounds of 5.56 does.

Stock/chassis Design and Recoil

Keep it light for hunting, the other 9 months of the year add 4.5lbs with 2 sets of external, internal, butt tube weights. That’s around a 50% increase in mass to take some of the beating.

As to the stock design question, certainly can contribute but post traditional designed usually seem to have the opposite effect you noticed, they are worse for recoil. A batter pad can make a world of difference though and if you have the ultra light butt it’s not a 1” super squish, not sure how a slip on would fit.
Swap them if they are both the same footprint and see if the recoil follows the barreled action or if it stays with the stock.

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

Ok…. While we are at it… anything or anyone lobbying for Ukraine.

And certainly Bloomberg and Everytown and Moms for taking guns.

Oh and then there is Pharma!

Really. Not being sarcastic!

Anyone collecting money to influence lawmakers needs to be clean as a whistle!!!

If it’s a group lobbying… it should have to post all its activities on a web page for all to see. Including internal e-mails. There should be NO privacy when it comes to Influence peddling.
None.

Sirhr
Agree, and in that vein...why are we allowing ANY lobbying? This whole 'buying lawmakers' process undermines the point of representative gov "of the people, by the people".

My senators and representatives are supposed to be legislating on MY (and other voters) behalf, not some other entities, foreign or otherwise.

The one (gun) that got away

Just a kid with a paper route and used to ride my bike to this gun store/fly shop and hang out. They had a brand new Superposed 12 ga O/U on the rack and damn near had my dad buy it for me. Had the money saved up and for whatever reason didn't buy and regretted ever since. Fast forward decades later cruising Gun Broker and lo and behold a beautiful Superposed flashes before my eyes. Pulled out the credit card and bought it on the spot. Pick it up from the FFL and it is even better than the pictures. Shows a little wear on the bluing but has a beautiful patina and tubes are in excellent shape. Send it off to Art's and they replace the springs and firing pins and tighten the action. Built in 1959 and came out of an estate. Just to show it is never too late to indulge a fancy when it comes to firearms.
