IP MANET Radio Update:

Buttoning up final tid bits of hardware programming and the bulk order of parts for assembly. I made the wireless network module easy to remove behind the heatsink for future wireless module upgrades and frequency swapping.

New wireless technology develops fast, with that in mind; no one wants to have to purchase an entire new mesh radio for a simple upgrade. I'll release new wireless network modules in the future to swap out so there won't be a need to upgrade the entire unit, only the wireless network module. Much more cost effective.

*Wireless network module in photos is a demo module only. I will be keeping the current wireless network module within the IP MANET units under wraps until they ship.

Matte case is non reflective, my camera pics up too much light. I was able to capture one photo that shows the non reflective matte black finish.

An additional feature to the IP MANET radio will be a flat Rapid-Mate style 32 pin side connector. A cable will attach to the 32-pin side connector on the radio. A USB-C plug on the opposite end will connect to an EUD/Laptop/Smart device via USB-C OTG. This will allow hardwiring of the radios mesh network via Ethernet.

I get the 'run it out to the Nth degree of logic' - the form is an infringement if you can not read / write / use your mouth, toes, fingers to grasp a fuckin pen......

But let's talk about THAT infringement in light of the OBLIGATIONS thrust on the rest of the community. This isn't the world of 1770's.....this is a modern world, if a person can not read or write - they are a useless eater, fed and cared for by the labor others. In an earlier America - one who did not possess the basic skills and attributes to survive - didn't. RIF mutherfucker.

In practice people that would be 'infringed' are a BURDEN on the rest of us, and those folks sure as shit don't need a suppressor. They need to learn to become a more capable person, and that has NOTHING to do with firearms.

I've got a couple girls, one of which will be able to hunt this fall. The other will still go out with me.

We've been practicing our shooting with a little Ruger 10/22 that I put in a collapsible stock, so they could get it to fit them. They are deadly with it out to 50 yards now.

I dislike starting kids on scoped rifles, but this is 2025...so maybe I should be less of a Fudd...especially since most of my rifles are scoped anyway.

We moved from shooting off a bipod, to shooting off of bags. I've got them hitting a 10" plate on every shot sitting, kneeling, and standing... shooting off of chairs etc... I don't want them becoming dependent on a bipod and rear bag. I rarely get the opportunity to use a bipod when killing critters around the ranch.

A couple weeks ago we graduated to a 5.56, but I'm only letting them shoot 1 round in a session. Bear in mind that a "session" just means walking outside and shooting, so extremely minimal setup. Still, they have smoked every milk jug, 2-liter, and 1-liter bottle I've set out for them at 80-100 yards. They can hit the part of the label that I ask them to, and haven't had to use a bipod or rear rest to do it.

Today they graduated to a shot from their 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC II. If the guns look familiar, it's because I've probably killed at least 100 pigs with each on video. If you've never seen the videos... consider yourself lucky .

Today was just a front bag off a table, no rear bag and they have to stabilize an unbalanced rifle. 113 yards (they'll be shooting at deer from 90 - 130 yards). Both of them hit the heart of Mr. Coyote on their first and only try today.

We'll be repeating this a couple times per week until September when I stop shooting here on the ranch.

It's a start...

And an end to my hunting for the next decade...

Totally worth it BTW.

We started long range knockdown steel a few years back. we started at 200 yds and 225 yds. As we got used to that we set up a rail at 285yds. We had a rail at 330yds it was a push for us for a while. then we pushed to 400yds. All mostly 2 MOA square target. our match you have 10 rounds to take down 5 target a 50% hit factor to clean targets.
We learned 300yds beyond it's all about the ammo and shooting in the wind. Tuners helps us get our verticals spread down for 200yds to 400yds.
When pushing past 200yds give yourself time learn how to shoot at long range. Past 200yds it is not about groups size any more, it is about hitting your target is many times as you can.

Malum Prohibitum said:
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?

Malum Prohibitum said:
"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.

Malum Prohibitum said:
“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

Malum Prohibitum said:
"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.

All that and yet the second amendment was written to codify that the right to own was God given. Whatever their thoughts/beliefs were on training were not part of the Constitution. Ask yourself why they didn't. Here's a good reason.... Because they knew that government is corrupt and giving any cracks would turn into the Grad Canyon. Look at what they have done to the 2A with it being written the way it was. I can't imagine how fucked we'd be if they had put anything close to what you suggested.

Salt Lake City Protest - story is changing......Yellow Vest needs to go down for homicide and the Yellow Vest folks sued into the poorhouse.

New video shows Gamboa was in the low ready and did not begin moving until after Yellow Vest started shooting. (EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO BE ARMED but Vest Man decided he was only one on the street that was professional enough......

Damn, looks like most are out of stock. 14.5” with intermediate gas would shoot buttery smooth!

I've got 14.8" RLGS and 15" ILGS barrels and they are smoother than all my 14.5" and 13.7" mids by quite a bit. I see one of the 13.7" ILGS barrels in my future, I've wanted to get a custom one made for a while but can't stomach the custom barrel price for what I'd use the gun for.

How long is their intermediate length?

No clue. It's pretty bothersome that there are like 4 different intermediates.
