Thorroclean & Bronze Brush Bore Cleaning Result.

Another shooter...not one, not two but he wrecked 3 barrels in the span of say 6-12 months. His last barrel was a 260imp on a f class gun.

The same guy in the above paragraph.... was a few months later telling a bullet maker they're bullets are no good and are blowing up.

This guy wouldn't happen to be from the PNW... as in WA state... would he? Because that sounds oddly familiar...

The Greatest Archaeological and Technological Discovery of Mankind

Holy fuck balls what's with the religious diatribe? Pretty sure no diety was involved in the pyramids. Now can we get back to the adult conversation about the aliens that built the fucking things and why, for God's sake?
Egyptian theology would beg to differ.

Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

I'm getting itchy feet, so it's time to start planning a road trip. I want to see Alaska. It will be nearly 7000 miles roundtrip by the time I factor in excursions. I'm aiming for September. With any luck, this tariff situation will have settled down by then and all they'll hate me for is being Califorian. I'm used to that. There will be several challenges I can foresee.
  • My Akita, Shiloh will be coming with me. That means getting health certificates...etc.
  • My Driver's license is up for renewal in September, so I need to get that done as early as possible because I'll need the new license with me.
  • Carrying handguns across Canada ain't happening. Long guns might be possible, but it depends on a lot of "Things" I can't control. Best plan of action may be to just buy a Guide Gun or something similar at the first Alaskan town I reach. (Tok) It'll make a better souvenir than a t-shirt or coffee mug, am I right? On my return trip through Tok, I've already found a business that specializes in shipping guns back down to greater 48. In the meantime, I've already picked up a couple of big cans of bear spray.
  • I think my F-250 will be my best vehicle for the trip. I've already spoke with a localized and tamed Snow Mexican who's made this trip before, and she assures me that diesel will be easy to find going thru Canada. Looking on the map, average distance between communities stays below 300 miles. That's well within the range of my fuel tank. I'll carry extra tanks just in case. I also don't plan to go pass any community without tanking up first.
  • Being in Alaska on, or close to the Equinox will mean cold nights and maybe cold days. I can prepare for that. It will also mean less mosquitoes and a better chance of seeing Northern Lights.
Is there something else I should be planning for, doing or not doing? I've never been to Alaska before, and I'll be in some remote country with just my dog for backup.

I don't plan on hunting or fishing on this trip. But whatever I learn on this trip may well lead to a focused hunting/fishing trip in the future.

Any tips, cautions or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

Anyone have any issues with the silver plug getting in the way of their turret? It seems to stick out a bit and I wasn't sure if it got in the way of dialing.
Missed this earlier.. if you’re dialing then you’re inducing offset to the WMLRF even though I’m sure you know that. Range and hold is what I do but I imagine you can just push the tango further up on the clif rail to solve that problem or mount it on a side rail out of the way.

Charter captain goes pirate in Florida

How can you be 100% disabled and pass a USCG physical to have a Merchant Mariner Credential?
If he has one, he probably wont for long!

I feel bad for the kid. He should have throttle dropped him and let him swim back to his buddies.

I've seen a lot of hot headed Captains and Pilots (often due to low sleep, long hours, financial stress, a sprinkling of substance abuse and being born an asshole) but despite their arrogant misguided rage, they were never quite stupid enough to throw a punch or set foot on another's vessel.

The only way that guy should be allowed to continue fishing is if he becomes the best F'n fish bait in the ocean!

Tariffs and ammo prices?

Runaway inflation for 4 years, only to be capped off with a tariff war driving prices/costs up even more.

I sure hope Trump knows what he’s doing…..
You and me both!

It is unlikely that the overhead costs for domestic manufacturing will not rise. Even if by some miracle they can get all the raw materials and components at the same cost, they will not be able to increase production without investing. Deciding to make a big investment on the assumption that your sell price will remain high is a risk.

Who wants to get half way into building the new factory to find out the tariff is now reduced or gone.

It may take years to build manufacturing capacity. This not a simple problem with sound bite solutions.
Agreed! But as others alreasy stated, this should have already happened. We have screwed ourselves by ever becoming so dependent on these other nations! It may hurt, but it’s time to bring production and strength back to this country. If we don’t do it now, the US is assuredly toast. May not be overnight gone but likely within our time. And that’s no bueno. I think he is trying. I hope he is legit and knows what he is doing. Many are gambling on this being correct.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

I do not have any problem with getting tough on foreign nations who abuse trade policies with punishing tariffs and currency manipulation, theft of IP, etc.

But are we going to keep pretending that the EU has a 39% tariff on imported US goods just because President Trump claimed that it is true? Am I not a good and loyal American if I point to that and say, "Hey, wait a minute. That is not true." Am I prohibited from pointing out a false statement because I voted for him?
How much consideration did you make for EU countries who have 20% tariffs on imported vehicles, plus 10% VAT?

Why do European nations place high tariffs on automobiles? To protect domestic and their own export industrial capacity and jobs of voters.

The US operating under the Bretton Woods framework to counter the Soviets allowed all kinds of imbalances in-favor of our regional allies, because we don’t want to see another World War started in Europe that would be even more costly to human life, infrastructure, and trade.

Now that Russia has shown their utter weakness and not even able to project decisive power on their own border, Europe needs to renegotiate fair trade deals with the US. There shouldn’t even be an argument since we provide for their defense, and manufacture most of their critical weapons systems.
