I’m sure someone in the comments will gloat about their pencil barreled Savage Axis shooting .5 with ball ammo. If they do their part…

Notice NOTHING, or almost nothing about "Juneteenth" today, right? Compared to 2021 and 2022?

Much of the woke social trends are corporate driven. This year, almost every major corporation are doing the exact opposite, trying to distance themselves from woke trends since Anheuser Busch torpedoed themselves. "Pride month" has also suffered it's most severe flop this year in decades, losing up to 70% of it's corporate sponsors and ad generation. Without commercial ad space and every post office, courthouse, and other public works caving and giving them a section of wall to post banners on, the woke minority is nothing but just that, a vocal, obnoxious minority.

Final text released from Senate Finance Committee.

https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/finance_committee_legislative_text_title_vii.pdf

See pages 261-263.

Only machine guns and destructive devices would remain NFA items, and it makes a very good attempt at fixing state law problems in states that require NFA registration for such items (e.g., Georgia). I would still feel more comfortable with a state law statutory change, but take a look at it and share your thoughts.


So basically it takes this:

26 U.S. Code § 5845 - Definitions​

www.law.cornell.edu
(a)Firearm
The term “firearm” means (1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (3) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (4) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (5) any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e); (6) a machinegun;(7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and (8) a destructive device. The term “firearm” shall not include an antique firearm or any device (other than amachinegun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector’s item and is not likely to be used as a weapon.


and turns it into this:

(a)Firearm
The term "firearm" means a machinegun or a destructive device.


There is a little more to it (see link to the text of the bill above), but that is the basic gist of it.

Let's hope it passes the full Senate.

It passed the house 215-214. IF it passes the Senate, it goes back to the house where the whole thing dies…

I use it in 6mm BR Norma with good success.

Just got a set of your Hunt rings for a sportsman build.

IMO you have hands down the best rings/mounts on the market at the moment. They are machined so well that the tube doesn't even want to turn before being torqued. You guys are really on to something machining the bore and not leaving it anodized, which I suspect decreases the co-efficent of friction and can lead to slippage. The index pin is something that should be on every ring/mount.

The fasteners are excellent. The packaging is excellent. The supplied tools are excellent. The price is a bargain for what you get. Kudos and Congratulations for making these!

Click to expand...

The real magic on the bore is the patent-pending process - even if it's kind of a pain in the ass for us.

We are making the ring caps and bases (wether one or two piece), sending them out to ano, then when they come back fully anodized we assemble them into sets and put them back into the machine to bore the internal diameter. That gives us a VERY round and on-size internal bore with the raw aluminum. That much surface contact on that surface gives the crazy grip.

But thank you, this is a product that we are really proud of for a lot of reasons, including its success in the market.

I also clean every 100-125 rounds, and clean to bare metal every 200-250... so maybe that might be why I'm not seeing the same buildup that others are.

Same here.

To be fair, when I got kind of a bad taste for Varget, we were running 155.5's @ 3k and 3-400 rds btwn cleanings. N150 was *way* easier to get out.

Nowadays, it's usually just "clean at the end of the day", whether that's 60 rds or 100. Might stretch it out to 150± for a local weekend match, depending on the course of fire. Pretty much everything comes out easy at that stage.

Peanuts in a small bottle coke. Youre making me nostalgic. I remember when those little Cokes were $00.05 from the machine. Throw in a pack of Winston's and your trip to the store was complete.

One of the great ironies of this war is that it's allegedly being waged because a country who doesn't have nuclear weapons and is a member in good standing of the non-proliferation treaty, is being accused of a country that secretly has nukes and isn't part of the non-proliferation treaty of attempting to build nukes (with no evidence to back up that assertion and counter to US intelligence assessments).

Like you said earlier, Israel is the biggest threat right now.

6 one way 1/2 dozen the other. Order the M, wait, and feed it ammo when it arrives. Or, find a used SP10, shoot & enjoy it now, upgrade as you see fit. I went the latter and found a good deal on a used SP10 6.5cm. It came with the dual-ejector bolt and +2 gas system, still has the single spring buffer system. I've only swapped out the Timney for a MBT-2S and it shoots fantastic. The only other change I've considered is swapping to the select-adjustable gas block.

I saw something on the news that said the 2nd degree charges are because only a Grand Jury can make a 1st degree charge in MN, and when it goes to them the charges will probably be upgraded. I'm not sure if that's true, but if so, Dinesh should know that.
Sorry, @MWAlex2 , that's two of your posts in a row I've disputed - not aimed at you, but the comments made by the people in them. I agree with Dinesh it definitely SHOULD be 1st degree, but I think it probably will end up there pretty quickly if I understood the process.
From MSNBC:


And here she clearly explains they will charge 1st degree asap

Speaking of KAK, every now and then I check out their barrels section to see what weird new stuff they're offering. Wasn't disappointed this time.

To follow up on this, we are in an interesting spot as a company, related to size. We are usually looked at one of two ways, and in reality we are in the middle.

People that have never seen inside the shop think that we are either VERY small, and don't have the ability to fill machines, so everything needs to be farmed out. There was a time that we DID use a machine shop down the road for certain parts that we couldn't justify a machine for. Nothing specifically wrong with that, though we are no longer in that place.

OR

They see a picture of the shop, where we have 18 CNCs, nearly all of which are automated, and insist that we are really just a job shop because there's no way we can move enough parts to justify what we do. Since 2016, we have taken exactly one project that didn't have 419 on every part, and it was a fixture for a local large-name manufacturer that couldn't figure out how to do a great multi-part fixture, but Jon could, so he got a nice check for making a fixture. I think that was in 2017/2018.

Here is the most recent published tour of our shop:

We are an enormously fortunate and grateful group to be able to produce what we do, the way we do, and sell it to the world. There are times we make decisions (like bringing fastners in-house) that may not make the most sense possible in a vacuum, but fit into our long-term vision of being the best damn American-Made part/accessory/tool company possible, and do it in a way that allows all of us here (I think we are at 38 people) to have a strong and stable work/life situation. It's what we think the American Dream really is, and every day when we walk through these doors, we make decisions against that ethos.

We should have sent half the force right through Iran when we went into Iraq and the other half left and then double back up through Turkey. Give the Kurds and Armenians Turkey and then let Israel handle Lebanon and Palestine. What fun that would have been

Goo plan. Turks have repeatedly fucked both the Kurds and Armenians.

It's a pipe dream. It would never happen. But I think the Western world should push for it.

The biggest foreign threat to the USA is Israel. Not China or Russia, or North Korea. Israel.

They drag us into catastrophic regime change operations in the ME which turn into unwinnable "forever wars" at the cost of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. They are the largest recipient of US aid. They spend hundreds of billions influencing our elections, to the benefit of a foreign government. They spy on us, and one of the achievements from that is stealing our nuclear technology and illegally building a stockpile of nuclear weapons. They are the most provocative force in the ME, waging constant warfare against its neighbors.

Hell, the only country you can't legally criticize in the United States is Israel. We can criticize our own government, but it's illegal to criticize Israel. How messed up is that?

Click to expand...

I'll criticize Israel right her right now. Brutal, murderous thugs who seek world domination by whatever means available.

We absolutely make our fastners in house. We have two Star swiss (SR20 and SR32) running them full time, along with some other swiss parts.

As is the case with a lot of parts, we could farm it all out and probably end up with something functional, but we wanted some pretty specific things, and in volume if it pencils out to something close to a financial wash, or better, we buy the machines and bring them in-house.

For these mounts, we have 3 distinct fastners - the cross-bolt that holds to the pic rail, the cap screws that hold the caps on (these also are used for accessories) and then the diving board screws that hold things onto the front cap of a one-piece. We wanted to be able to design specifically the size fastners that the system wanted, all of which run a TorxPlus for T20IP, made of stainless, ready for nitride. We are also using hollow locks for diving boards, and those are generally not great off the shelf. They tend to be rough because of the black oxide process. Getting that all made in the US isn't cheap, AT ALL, so doing them in-house was the right move. Plus we then have a lot more control of the product stream.

Maybe someone knows better - but we feel good about what we are doing.

Actually, if you just got rid of Israel, 98% of the problems would clear up on their own. Back to tribes frighting tribes over chickenshit differences in Islam. And they'd stop hating us so much because we wouldnt be supporting Israel. Win/win
