Looking for a truck gun

Panhandle_Pilgrim
So i am hoping to get some education here. I've spent a lot of time behind rifles both professionally and recreationally but i dont know a lot about AR type platforms in the way of brands and all the companies that make parts for them. I am looking to get a MK18 style rifle with a folding buttstock or "arm brace." I went to several stores today to price things out and I realize that you get what you pay for but there are so many brands out there i am unfamiliar with. I think i'd like to start with something middle of the road and upgrade later.
This rifle will be for the purpose of self defense so i'd pick reliability over a lower price tag but I also dont need a match rifle either- minute of man will do. A couple a manufacturers that caught my eye were Aero Precison and the Sig M400. Am i on the right track here? Is there a better rifle out there that I should be looking at or is it worth the step up to buy something like a Daniel Defense?

Most satanists don’t actually worship Satan it’s symbolic. If anything it’s more worship of self, only theistic satanists which is the smallest group believe in Satan. Do yall research anything?

I read that if you drive a wooden stake into the heart of a Satanist, they will die.

Or was that vampires?

Seems like it might work either way.

After a conversation with Milspec Longhorn the other day I’m trying to find out if this is possible to commercially reproduce. From past experience with intellectual property, I’m going to assume RemArms(Remington) will probably say no or the cost will be astronomical.

I'm certainly no lawyer, but I don't think you can say absolutely that RemArms owns all of Remington's property. Because if they did, would they not assume liability for what Remington produced? And they will not warranty anything Remington made, that's what they told me when I asked.

Had that happen to me in the gulf. Not sure what fish it was but it was like being in the matrix. If I moved they would move with me staying about a foot away at all times completely surrounded by fish. I was scuba not free diving and all I could think of was a big cuda or shark running through them and catching me

We loved our chaplains in the USAF…of course, we were sitting on a big tank of kerosene with a flame shooting out the ass end (a young man’s game as an older wiser person wouldn’t even consider it lol).

And I do think there is a real need for kids to get some guidance and wisdom that they don’t get at home or from asshole leftist guidance counselors and school psychologist.

But it will never fly and there will be tons of suits filed on constitutional grounds.

And I did hospice volunteering (until COVID killed them all). It was thru a religious social organization but the chaplains on the team came from all religions, were nondenominational, and the hospice service itself was totally nondenominational wrt to the patients they served. .

I liked those chaplains too.

Exactly… esp paragraph 3. Sadly!

Firefighters shot responding to wildfire in North Idaho

Sheriff press conference.

Here are two close ups of one of the images from his social media site that the sheriff held up. No idea what the “little picture” in the middle is.

IMG_9534.jpeg


AP reporting that the firefighters had asked him to move his vehicle before he opened fire. So he may have had contact prior to opening fire? They are referring to him as a “transient” living in his car.

Grandfather said in an interview that he “wanted to be a fireman” and he thought he was working toward that goal. But I can’t find that link.

Other info here.

Where to source different bullet seating stems?

I anneal every other firing. Propane torch, brass chucked in drill, held in flame for 8 seconds. Around 9 seconds you start to see orange show up in the flame… anyway don’t want to get into a debate about annealing just saying I anneal the shoulder & neck every other firing. VLD chamfer the inside of the case mouth.

I don’t lubricant the inside of the case mouth…mostly due to not having the graphite locally right this second but plan to eventually.

8 to 9 seconds sound just about right, IMHO

Are you getting consistent seating depth?

After annealing, that annealing process leaves an abrasive oxide coating on the surface that tends to affect seating consistency as well as bullet release. Since you're not using any lube on the inside, you might want to run a nylon bore brush through the necks to mitigate this issue. . . unless you're dry tumbling right after annealing???
