5 wounded now being reported. (First report I saw had 4 dead). Now upgraded

My first reaction was "Tranny or similar Rump Ranger... "

My second reaction was "Amish."

Well here ya go!

Firm?

I have a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer. It easily holds half a 800 lb. cow once cut and wrapped. If you buy a whole cow/whole beef you may be able to have it dry aged. This improves the flavor, makes it more tender, and costs about $10/lb. hanging weight.

The ranch sent the carcass to the butcher. The butcher offered vacuum packing or double paper wrapped. The double wrapped seemed to work just as well as the vacuum packed. We have many options, see the image.

I will never go back to store bought beef.

Man ain't that some DEI math by the poster. .2 and 4.9 per captia is not almost the same. It is in fact 24.5 times more. Now multiply 8.3x24.5. Spoiler it's 204 just like the 15-24 category. So the numbers remain pretty steady.

I swapped the TT Diamond 1stage (6oz) to a BnA 2 stage for my early gen RimX because I was getting ignition issue (soft strikes about 5% of the time) due to the the sear height. It's somewhat of a known issue that can be resolved by filing down the cocking piece.
They certainly have a bit more overtravel post break and for a 22 it did affect my shooting negatively slightly initially, also I think I'll need the wider gator shoe. It did resolve the soft strikes, haven't had one in 1000+ rounds.

Still not 100% sold on it, might pull it to put on a hunting gun where it would make more sense

All great rifles but I would grab the LMT so I could easily swap out the barrel and bolt to 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel. If it's purely for 5.56 I think the KAC is the more elegant solution. On a seperate note A Geissele would be a great option also and for me a G 6mm Arc 14.5 would be tits. Plus You can always add a 5.56 super duty upper later.

22 cu ft freezer right after putting 1/2 a cow in. There's various other stuff, including a deer or 2.

ETA: And yea, a lot of it was burger.

Individual F4 filed the morning of 8/4 and approved today 8/6 during lunch time. Still super fast.

There was a Major with a CCW that forgot to secure his pistol when coming onto post at Fort Leavenworth. At the gate he realized that he forgot he had his pistol on him and without being asked he apologized to the gate guard and said that he has a CCW and asked if he could put the pistol away. He was detained and was quickly removed from the military. For him, honesty didn't pay.

From my 18" KAC LPR Mod 2 between 08/2020 to 05/2025



If anybody has any specific questions about any projectiles or powder combos, I'd be happy to share my experiences with it and some groups.

Crazy thing is the people at the top, and E7 down, are all on board with common sense. It's the bottom officer ranks that act like middle management and do absolutely nothing productive unless it's covering their ass.

You say that but I have met my share of retards that are enlisted and officers. Being a moron and/or risk adverse is not just an officer thing.

The ones that could authorize CC are not bottom ranks, they are your COL and above levels that have political aspirations. Just my opinion aka .02

I wouldn't recommend pulling the sear. Its is a little more complicated than some would be comfortable with. Also, it isn't very hard to damage the receiver getting the pins out and back in.

Yes agree...
The pins are a VERY tight fit and you need to make a "pilot" pin to extract the main. You also need to make a guide to re insert the pin so you do not damage the receiver on re install of the pins. The domed head on the pins allows a normal pin punch to "slip" and damage the receiver.

I’m not a vet, still no need to ask me to thank you every 5 seconds. The real high speed operators and team guys never said shit to anyone about it and the one who talked about it the most was a supply sergeant, weird shit. Don’t recall anyone telling me how they protected me thankfully. I do go out of my way to say stuff to Vietnam Vets since they got treated so shitty coming home.

Obviously you volunteer to go to war I appreciate it, but no need to remind me to try and get more discounts on already low prices constantly. I know one guy with a FFL that requires you to be active duty for a discount and he’s a vet. Always an awkward moment when guys hear “active duty only” and it’s only something like 3%. He also grills them about their MOS and where they deployed It’s hard to watch when I’ve stopped in.

The best way to get discounts is be cool when you show up, spend money, and don’t ask for shit theyll remember you.

Edit: I do love hearing the stories of retarded shit, and fuck fuck games from vets though. Tell me all the stupid funny stories

I don't give discounts, for any group,
and in my business, if you want something and say I'll take it, you bought it at list price,
once we get paperwork going, negotiations and discount don't happen,


kinda related, I'm set up at a gunshow in NOVA, busy day, selling well,

get a guy, says he wants to buy a firearm,
has mil ID, and PCS paperwork

paperwork is 3 yrs out of date,
so I ask for a recent set,
he gives me grief about that, but I calmly tell him (he was in the Army IIRC, and an officer, don't recall rank,)

tell him he has a choice, provide paperwork or move on,
so he gets on the phone with his wife, talks to her like an ass, embarrassingly so,

after maybe 30 minutes she sends him a pic of the paperwork,,, same as when he already had

another phone call and more berating over the phone, and he gets his current Orders,,

to DC,
I am a FFL,, in VA, at that time there were no gunshops to do transfers in DC,
so he proceeds to rant at me about how he had PCS papers in DC but worked in VA,

sorry, says I,

then he called me anti Vet,,

my helper, who is a VET, with some disability on paperwork, was about to go apeshit on this guy , but luckily , for the dude, looked at me first and I told the dude that as a non veteran, who owned a company started by my father,, a Vet, and employing Vets, and have a brother from another mother that is(at that time) employed by USAR as a civilian and a Vet, that accusation did not really fly,


he shut up and left,

came back an hour later, and said his buddy wanted to buy that gun now,, (buddy had proper paperwork)
he got a quick lesson on what a straw purchase was and asked if I needed to reach out to the ATF, the VSP or his commanding officer.

he stfu and left



and before anyone says I could have used his DL to sell him a rifle, nope, he stated he lived here in VA, and his PCS was expired, so that would not fly,
