AI - ATX LE

Yeh so I got the medium bridge, but unsure if I want to cut it that far back now as all my barrels are 18”+. Decisions decisions.

Hear ya. Still cogitating on what barrel I’m going with.

The 277 Hybrid in the shorter barrel makes a ton of sense with an expected 3,000fps out of 16” or so. Problem is, I have no idea how consistent the ammo SD is.

Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

Last weekend was pretty good. Saturday shot one that spun in the tall grass I couldn't recover and another who was at a full speed run. Didn't find that one until Sunday morning and I'm pretty sure he is part hippopotamus, so full speed run is relative.

Here he is next to another from Sunday morning:

After those three I set up an ambush for one off these rocks. They look stable but they really weren't and I didn't have a shooting bag. There was loose footing and barbed wire I got all cut up on.

The one I was waiting for didn't show up but another pair did and I shot the female in the heart region at 440 yards. He ran a ways but then stopped to see where his wife was and I got him through the base of the ear at 550 yards.

That afternoon while gopher hunting in another field I saw this one and got him. First one of three from that field that had nice fur. Well the fur that didn't fly off anyways. Looks like a pillow exploded when I hit him.

So six for the weekend if I include the one who went down in the tall grass.

Was also asked to knock off some beavers from this pond. Not really sure how to recover them though as I don't have a raft or boat.

The easiest way we have found to get at beaver is while they’re building up the dam at night with thermal, or the occasional lucky head shot during the day.

Minnesota politicians shot by someone impersonating police officer

Here's the thing. In America, the war of ideas is supposed to be fought with ballots, not bullets. Once we lose that, we lose everything else. Demonizing Americans who have different ideas than you do only adds energy to those who want us to fail. Cheering on the murder of your fellow Americans is beyond the pale. Political violence has no place in America; that's it, full stop. If you disagree with that you can fuck off.
Tell that to the Lefties; >99% of the violence is coming from that side.

And I get it… you’re where I was 4 or so years ago, but we’re on the precipice, and far past the time for playing nice. We’re clearly nowhere near an actual civil war yet, but the left is pushing us that way as hard as they can.

Suppressors Form 4 wait time

Interesting….that sounds like a good plan for maximum flexibility. I’ve put everything in two custom trusts up to this point (pre and post 41F) but have been wondering if the SS single shot trust approvals are quicker than custom trusts I.e. individual<single shot trust<custom trust
I don’t know about faster, trusts seem to take a bit longer than individual but really it’s all a crap shoot as far as timing. The last 20ish I’ve done have been all over the place from the shortest being 30ish hours to the longest being 3 weeks. All of them on SS single shot trusts.

It comes down to whatever examiner pulls them out of the hat that day. It really makes no sense at all.

AI - ATX LE

I’m sending this atx out to get cut at the left edge of the tape. 18” barrel should hit on the left edge of the tape on the barrel. In effect I will have an atx-le when it’s done. Although, it won’t be as clean looking as a factory chassis.
That’s the best spot to cut, but it’s a little shorter than the LE. Not by much tho.

You will need a medium Bridge to ensure it’s fully supported, and be cutting down the factory pic rail to ensure.

FULL US ARMY 250th Birthday Parade and Ceremonies. Watch here.

Something was wrong with the sound. It did not match what was being seen on the video. I've done better, I've done worse. Dreamily remembering the past when I was nothing more than a rock.

I'd rather we spend money trying to bring back a little honor and discipline back to the American Armed Forces after the fucking beating our forces took in the last four years.

The amount of money spent on this dog and pony show is worth it to me. It's about time to do something to bring a little pride to us Americans. I'd be willing to bet this cost us taxpayers less than paying the faggots dressed up as women and reading stories to our kiddos.

I am glad that I spent my tax dollars on this parade.

U CAN’T TOUCH THIS

If the guy actually touched him, he should have had his head split in half. It seems obvious enough to me that if the police establish a line, you should stay back far enough away to eliminate any misunderstanding.

It wouldn't be the first of thousands of attempts of some reporter jackass creating a situation and then immediately framing themselves as a victim in an attempt to get more clicks. He could have done his job the same way 50' from the police line.

Any coin collectors?

In the last month or so I dumped 1/10 , 1/2 and 1 oz American gold eagles at a local coin shop that a lot in bullion sales.
They are paying spot on 1/10, and 99% of spot on the rest. Had a few Maples in there, 96% on those. Generic silver Morgan dollars, which I still have, are going for basically melt value. Platinum Maples spot - $40. Generic platinum bars, Spot - $50. They are paying $1 over spot for ASE monster boxes, I passed on that. Random 1oz silver rounds and bars were at spot - 1.50,

Apmex was offering 1.50 under spot to buy ASE's. LCS was better.

I'm not sure how strong the collectables market is. While I used to collect coins, I moved into bullion which is a different animal.

Good luck!
