Smarter Than You

Many of these jobs could have completely automated over a decade ago, but the calculations were different.

“Am I going to pay 20 engineers, making $150k+/yr, to automate the jobs of those making $30k……and then keep paying a few of them to maintain the system?”

Versus

“Am I going to have 3 of my existing, non-engineering employees automate the jobs of those same people?”

The sad truth is that a majority of employees contribute very little. They give 2-3hrs of inefficient work per day and are lifted/elevated by the small number of productive experts.

NICS checks out in free states

I get it. I have no idea how it actually works in NE since I'm in TX. I'd have to go through the process myself to figure it out. But even that isn't a guarantee because I've had people tell me they didn't fill out a 4473 when they picked up a suppressor before.
That is odd as we fill out a 4473 for suppressors here.
Would think that's a Fed not a State thing
But I'm no expert either.

Too much gray for me.
I like to have something in official writing instead of "well, he/she said"
I did document the call with name number date etc. but that's the best I got.

Influx of new related scammer accounts?

They’re posting in new member section as well.

The interesting thing I see though is the scammer are creating the account in batches like this, padding feedback and post stats, and then changing usernames to mimic posts when they try to intercept a deal.

Case cleaning

No. As mentioned, neck peening and hassled of trying to get all the pins out of the cases.

Personally, I use a vibratory tumbler with walnut shell media and have not found a reason to make it any more complex or messy than that.

Best of luck. Cheers


Agree. I tumble with dry media only to get rid of the dirt/crud that would harm my expensive dies. Shiny brass does not add to precision.

Case cleaning

I deprime the brass, put it in an ultrasonic cleaner (with Lemishine and Dawn) for 45 mins, dry the brass then into a vibratory tumbler with walnut shells for 1 hr. Comes out as shiny as I want it and with minimal work. The reason I use the ultrasonic cleaner is to remove the carbon and primer residue before going into the tumbler. The media stays much cleaner and you don't have the carbon and primer residue dust floating around in the air. You will be surprised by how much residue is in the ultrasonic cleaner. That residue would normally be in your walnut media. Depriming first allows the primer pocket to be cleaned and prevents an air pocket in the case thus preventing the cleaning solution from getting to the inside of the case.

So there.

The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

Three friends I were shooting a potato cannon off my deck at an electrical transformer on a pole about 50 yards away. Alcohol may have been involved. After a bag and a half of potatoes and a couple of cans of hair spray, I finally connected. It rocked the transformer so hard I was expecting the power to go out. Sobered us all right up!

Fishing one morning from the bank on Lake Livingston minding my own business. Lake is glass with no boats seen anywhere. Out of no where a boat and skier come into my fishing AO and start cutting it up where I'm fishing. Had a bottle rocket with me on a stick. I lit it and threw it to lead the skier. The bottle rocket wedged under the right armpit of the skier, exploded and knocked him in the water. Talk about a lucky shot!!! The boat swung around and picked up the skier and left. I went back to fishing.....slaying the blue cats.

NICS checks out in free states

Tangled web indeed ... but it's on the web so at least that's consistent.


Maryland, Wisconsin and New Hampshire are all liste the same way as Nebraska on the ATF web site.
My only thought on this is
NICS for long gun transfers
State issued permit (required) for handgun transfers
They just left out the "handgun permit also works for long guns".
Why, I do not know because it would be awful easy to add long gun after handgun.
Because it is not written that way, I have made damn sure I got clarification from different agents over the years.
It would be nice to have it in writing but until then, I am taking the word of the agents I asked.

Also remember that God put the rainbow in the sky. The sodomites have tried to change its meaning. Man should not change what God has said.

Also remember the rainbow is not just some holy symbol, some peace sign.
A rainbow is a CIRCLE you only see half of.
God didn't JUST say he would put a rainbow in the sky or put a sign, yada, yada.
He said I will put MY BOW in the clouds.
The rainbow is an extremely holy symbol. Every color has deep profound meaning and their positions are no accident.
God's bow encompasses his throne, in his very presence. It is integral to the seat of the Heavenly Father's presence.
And yet.....treading that symbol underfoot can be forgiven, with true repentance.

This will sound like bullshit but I’m an Eagle Scout and scouts honor this is 100% true. Multiple witnesses as well.

I had my sniper rifle and was watching the right side of the valley. One of my guys was 300m away on the left side of the valley. There was a silly terrorist running at him with an AK and my boys weapon was out of commission and I heard him scream for help on the comms. I pivoted swinging the rifle right to left. I only had one chance to save his life. Only the combatants head and neck was visible because of a wall and he was running from my left to right and I didn’t think I had a prayer but I led the target and sent it. I barely had time to put the reticle where I hoped it needed be and squeezed the trigger. Head shot dropped the combatant. I was shocked I made the shot. My boy still talks about me saving his life. I got a lot of compliments on the shot and it got me some recognition but what they all don’t know is I was just a dumb lucky mother. Well, my boy was the dumb lucky mother because he didn’t die 💁🏻‍♂️

He was always wandering off by himself trying to be a hero. Young and dumb.

Please don’t ask me where this took place. I don’t want to have to say 😂

"Talk about losing faith in the system. Half of my frustrations come from the active measures that must have taken place by MULTIPLE people to protect those lying to Congress. This isn’t one person. This is a group and they will all go free. This looks horrible. Either our FBI is corrupt and would do anything to hurt Trump or they are so stupid they fell for the Russia narrative and went all in to protect their names from embarrassment."


Yeah... Not stupid... I wish that's all it was... And... I don't believe, for even a moment, any of them actually believed the hoax... So, what' that leave, then...?
