Hi, Dan - so 3" OD x 12" long? Unclear why a shell holder design was not pursued - would have been MUCH smaller, possibly even smaller than the EXS. Simply a customer requirement?

BTW, as your customer well knows, the action has never been a significant milestone in making his project work. FWIW, getting my "test platform" would have moved reality forward with a lot less time and expense. Gotten to go or no-go years ago. Anyway...

Bump!

Yo yo! Just managed to catch up somewhat so far this morning...

It is EXTREMELY interesting how Chinese state and overseas China-oriented media like Sing Tao Daily tries to address their domestic situation without bringing up Trump at all, and leave the blaming of Trump on other events elsewhere like Canada and EU coal/gas, etc. They know that a very large portion of their population, unlike during the ultra jingoistic period of the 1970s and early 80s, WANT to have good relations with the USA and thus they are afraid of furthering angering an already wary populace by letting slip that the CCP's hardheadness is directly getting in the way of these relations. With the already severe internal pressure from "9-9-6 work culture" burnout and the growing resistance to it, and the millions of new college graduates whose degrees vastly outnumbered available careers for these degrees so they are also compelled to find factory work, only to find none at the moment, this is more pressure than even the initial COVID had brought on them.

The CCP economic policy of corraling global manufacturing under the Chinese sphere starting in the 1990s was a bold and effective get-rich-quick move for them, but they had also willingly walked right into a negative reinforcement behavioral modification system. With 90% of buyers all invested in China, even a small fraction stopping business and going elsewhere will mean that this dependent economy is facing a potential sinkhole underneath them. That translates to "stop acting the fool, play nice, or lose"...

There was something about the legality of modifying civilian aircraft to perform baggage dropping that didn’t comply with FAA rules in the 1980s. Mena was where they performed the aircraft modifications for Southern Air Transport, as well as the pilot training for Nicaraguans. There’s an interesting book written by one of the senior pilots who surveyed the airport and ran pilot training, after being trained on the infiltration methods Barry Seal taught him. He knew Oliver North at the time as well, only under North’s cover name. He details in the book how Barry Seal used Electronic Warfare systems installed in private aircraft to defeat US air defense assets in the Gulf, when he flew the routes back into the US. They also used duplicate tail number aircraft so one would fly the filed route and land at the planned airfield, and the other would fly Nap of the Earth and drop duffel bags in clandestine DZs with awaiting “contractors".

I never dug much into the Clinton drug connection but wasn’t his brother in law a cocaine dealer ? Was he involved with this Mena operation or just a family fuckhead that was dealing on the side ?

Seems vortex always finds a way to disapoint me. They have it in the EBR 7D reticle but they are dots and are undisgustionable from each other for wind holds so I gotta play the counting game. I just want a more useable tree out of vortex is all. Its nitpicking and I welcome a 4-24 and its all speculation until it releases.

It’s a Gen 3 so why would they go back to a .5 mil mark from a .2 in the 7D in the 6-36? I hold a lot at matches too and no issues with the 7D. It’s a very usable reticle. The new Bushnell you seem to like has dots in wind holds and they are .5 mils and also indistinguishable from each other. Not even a larger dot at each full mil like the 7D. When they get down to lines at 3 mils they are still .5.

Just comes to personal preference as all reticle do but I hate .25 mark reticle as none of my data is .25. It’s one more line with .2 marks and is easier for me to hold accurately.

What AGB should fit under rd15 handguard. ?

I watched the 4 part series the Rudy did on YouTube, the RD-15 currently has a .875 Gas Block Journal with a pretty beefy Gas Blcok so it's a safe bet you can run just about anything you want under .963

Both of my prospect barrels that I'll be using have a .750 Gas Block Journal so it wont be an issue. I do have a couple new 20" and 22" Bartlein's .875 Match Heavy barrels that i keep on hand so i don't have to wait 6 months for a replacement if one or my mine go south. I'll seat both to verify the .875 clears without issue.

I'll take it...PM inbound

You misunderstood. He was talking about adapters that let you attach a flush cup swivel to a stock equipped with standard sling swivels.

Grovetec makes a similar product.

^^^^
Yup, I know what you mean.

I believe it’s time for us to crowd-fund a private drone strike service, coordinated with cyber warfare against these vermin.

I want to see them burn.

I'm running 6BRA right now and considering going back to 6BR.

I considered a BRA but my gunsmith talked me out of it. There was nothing wrong with it he just hadn't found it to really do anything that the straight BR wouldn't do already unless you are only after speed, which I wasn't, but some folks feel differently.

Every couple of weeks, I’ll go through the unsubscribe process on several of them. Sometimes it works, sometimes they send under separate cover. I go through all of my accounts a few times a day to clear out the junk. I call it weeding the garden. It’s the world we live in now.

I have yet to see anyone in any media spigot discuss the fact that Trump was the only US President to send actual weapons to Ukraine prior to 2022, and those weapons were instrumental in stopping armored columns when Putin kicked off the “SMO”. Ukraine paid for them as well.

The timing of Trump’s weapons sales to Ukraine was interesting, because it just happened to coincide right after Putin sent an entire armored battle group to try to wipe out a tiny contingent of US SOF soldiers in Syria in Feb 2018, over the established deconfliction line (Euphrates River). Trump’s response to that attack was to annihilate the Russian forces with extreme prejudice.

Remember that every US President since 1991 actively worked to disarm Ukraine, or ignore them. Clinton, Obama, and Biden were instrumental in disarming Ukraine, and coercing NATO partner nations not to send weapons to them. Clinton, Obama, and Biden have been on Soviet payroll for generations. They got Clinton when he traveled to the USSR to dodge the rape cases he committed in England when he was at Oxford trying to be a Rhodes Scholar, dodging the draft.

They financed Biden’s Senate campaign in 1972 (he was a nobody that magically won the Senate race in Delaware, which was ripe for manipulation due to low population). Pedophiles are cheaper to bribe for the poor Russian intelligence services.

Trump is the only one who had a totally different approach, not on Russian payroll because he legitimately made his money, unlike spineless sell-out politicians who instead of adding any value to society, have only enriched their corporate and foreign donors.

Trump and Putin have had an ongoing feud that has reached levels no US President would even go near.

Trump’s energy policies hurt Russia more than anything, and if people were unsure about it prior to 2019, Trump eliminated all doubts when he threatened to make Putin’s Nordstream 2 pipeline part of the US NDAA. He literally threatened Germany to stop helping Putin make Europe more beholden to Russian Natural Gas with Nordstream 2.

There have been things behind the scenes that Putin did to try to escalate things militarily, and Trump shut those down too. Every time, Trump has to force Putin to realize he is nothing but a little punk, while not openly humiliating him.

I don’t see anybody getting this story right in the media, including the lightweights on foreign policy who call themselves conservatives.

I was receiving those, then received an email from KTAG stating they were not responsible for the spam. I changed the number and email on the account and viola, no more spam.

Switched it back and still no spam, seems they were responsible or it was a real coincidence.

I don’t think she is all natural
