So where is Israel’s big Thursday surprise?

The one bigger than the pagers??

LAME!

We want exploding goat bombs or Hebrew space lasers or something….

This is really getting boring. If I wanted to watch endless missile tracks and see silly propaganda photos, I’d watch Ukraine!

Can’t they even come up with some “Rabbi of Revhovot who slays Iranians with an izmel?” Or the “Solly the Shalom Sniper who greets his targets before smoking them?” We can’t even get the Kibbutz Kosher Tractor Brigade to steal an Iranian pipeline or something.

Again… lame!!! We need hero’s!

Barrett M107 A1 Build

shoots100
The biggest non gunsmith and noticeable improvement in accuracy for my 107 was using 750 Amax match ammo.
Here's a link to an older thread on what to look for and tips to improve your rifle.

Does anyone make a Match Trigger for the Barrett M82A1 ?

Just went out on my Rifle Range and fired my New Barrett M82A1 in 50 BMG today and Man that Factory Trigger Blows. Now does anyone make a Match Trigger for the Barrett M82A1? Or even a good Trigger Job would be helpful. Now I know that this isn't a Precision Sniper Rifle, but I was getting...

That doesn't matter. 20% of the world's oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran produces 4.5% of the world's oil. That might not seem like much, but if Iran starts mining the strait and their production is offline, then oil will go through the roof. We'll be paying over $ 5 per gallon..

I think that’s a low number on gas. It will also tank economies worldwide. Iran has more cards to play than most want to recognize. And Yemen will also get involved with closing it down. It isn’t just missiles, they could also scuttle ships that would take months to clear for safe passage. Add in mines, EW and missiles to the scuttled ships and it becomes a shit storm. This has real implications on Trump’s economic agenda as well as the mid term elections, especially since so many in the US are against US involvement.

Word is that Iran hit the Tel Aviv stock market. It seems they may be moving to striking the economically strategic pillars of Israel now. That in combination with refineries and desalination plants would cause internal friction for Israel’s leadership.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

An infringement of what, exactly?

Early Americans were required both in the colonies and the early Republic, to show up with working firearms, powder, and ammunition, and to train. Period.

This is entirely consistent with why the Second Amendment was written.

Here is the guy who is considered the author -

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."
- James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

Madison believed in a trained militia. Training is for producing proficiency.

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."
- George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790. The militia act was passed soon after (two years later) by Congress enrolling all males between certain ages in the militia and requiring that they arm themselves with certain weapons and a sufficient amount of ammunition, as well as some other gear. Washington signed it into law.

Are you aware of any of this history? Are you aware that there were penalties associated with failure?

"I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence ... I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

Again, the object was competency through familiarity from infancy.

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

"If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788


Again.

The Founders thought there should be enforced training and drill and familiarity, and they made laws to force Americans to equip themselves and train.

Don’t forget the selective service. If men can be drafted and forced to carry arms in combat then it ought to be incumbent upon them to be “well regulated “ in the use of those arms before they are ever drafted.

Enforced proficiency is not an infringement anymore than enforced taxes or enforced registration for the draft.

Best corrosion protection for small steel parts?

T
The Aviation formulation of Corrosion X is the way to go. Many things used for aviation, chemicals included, have to go through rigorous testing and approvals. Subsequently their formulation is not often changed, otherwise they have to go through the approval process again. Corrosion X Aviation is an example of this and has MIL approval for USN use. It is also thicker and more long lasting than the regular Corrosion X.

Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

3rdfocal
I collapsed 3/50 necks on ADG 300 wsm brass a few months ago just using 21st century nitride mandrel on virgin brass, same mandrel I've used on thousands of 308/300wm/nm cases without issue. The shoulders folded inside the case body and I could barely even feel it happen. Never had this happen on any other brass ever. Setup was not an issue, I can only attribute it to abnormally soft brass.
