Are you saying that this criminal check is done "automatically" every month for all CWFL holders. or only when some action triggers it (i.e. FFL Delivery or CWFL renewal)?
I am not saying anything. I’m asking. @sgtsmmiii brought that up. I don’t know.

Do you mean "Driver's License" of CWFL when you say "7 year renewal?" MY DL yes is a 7 year renewal but CWFL is only 5.
Of course I mean my CWFL. Which is a seven year renewal. I renewed mine last year and it expires in 2031. Ive got it setting right here in front of me.

You better check yours.

I was wrong though when I said it has both date of issue and date of expiration on it. Unlike your DL, it only has the date of expiration on it.

Finding a wife

Here's another trad-wife warning. Note: a real trad-wife doesn't have to take to social media to tell everyone that she's a trad-wife with her boobs hanging out.

Trad-wife is mostly a scam ,it just a chicks pitch for a man to finance the stay at home lifestyle ,of course social media continues

300y ladder with 223/80.5 Berger/N540

The problem with a Ladder shot at 300 yds is that it mixes the factors that affect the Point of impact. By that I mean the the path the bullet leaves the barrel and the velocity variation that is affecting the drop which also affects the POI. The environmental also begin to come into play including mirage.

When shooting a Ladder on Target at 100yds you have to dissect what variables will be affecting the point of impact (POI) and consider the effect those variables on the POI. Velocity as it affects the built drop due to gravity is almost nothing. A 100 fps variation in most centerfire cartridges is going to affect the POI by less than a caliber. The largest variable in terms of impact at that range is the line of sight/flight path that the bullet leaves the barrel. This is primarily determined by where the barrel is pointing in its vibration cycle and velocity of the barrel that is perpendicular to the bullets velocity. This is a function of the barrel vibration frequency and the barrel time which is a function of velocity. When the powder charge is burning uniformly and the barrel is moving slowly in the cycle then small change in the velocity will not cause a large variation in point of impact. As for seating depth, it has a very small effect on the POI but due to the behavior of the bullet and its orientation in the rifling will affect the dispersion around the POI. When shot at longer distances the inherent variations in velocity (SD and ES) begin to have greater influence on the POI and can confuse the results.

Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

I'm late to the party, but for a short barrelled AR, I prefer the Aimpoint. I have one on my AR pistol and it serves the desired purpose. Forgiving eye relief, wide FOV and all that. Zero it at 50 yards and call it good. I wouldn't use it beyond 100 yards.


For my 14.5" to 20" AR's, I like the ACOG. It's tough, requires no battery and the reticle will get you out to 600 yards, if needed, with no knob adjustments after you have your zero. It's a fantastic combat optic. For paper-punching or service rifle matches, where points matter, the ACOG will work, and work well, but there are better service rifle optics out there that are specifically designed for those competitions.

For my M14, I can't use the ACOG because of the eye relief. I tried, and no matter how hard I held, I always got smacked in the eye with 308 recoil. I went with the Vortex Razor 1-6 and it gets me effective accuracy out to 600 yards. The glass is crystal clear and with the setting to 1X, it's so clear, it's almost like having a VR crosshair in front of your face. You hardly notice there's a massive scope in front of your face.

I only wish the Razor had a ranging reticle like the ACOG that worked at max magnification. Although I can use it effectively out to 600 yards, I have to remove the elevation adjustment cap and dial it to 18. The scope works well for CQB, but it's much heavier and overkill for a short barrelled AR. I could just leave the scope cap off and it probably wouldn't matter, but I like exposed turret scopes for multi-distance work.

I've fired friends AR's with EOTech, but never warmed up to them. But some people love them and there's nothing wrong with that.

Tony.

NICS checks out in free states

We were told that it was because those states that ran criminal history checks every month to insure that CC holders did not have a disqualifying arrest or event.
Sounds legit............;).
So they run a criminal history check on everyone in the state that carries a concealed license every month? That sound unbelievable to me. Yes, that does meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(3)(A). But, it sounds like an over application of the exception clause, which is:

  1. the permit must allow the nonlicensee to possess or acquire a firearm;
  2. the permit must have been issued not more than five years earlier by the state in which the transfer is to take place; and
  3. state law must provide that the permit was to be issued only after an authorized government official verified that the information available to such official does not indicate that it would be a violation of the law for the nonlicensee to possess a firearm.

It says nothing about continuous or monthly verifications. Only that the permit must be no older than five years.

Maybe that’s why Florida doesn’t qualify. They issue theirs every 7 years. However, that should technically still be no reason for disqualification. There’s an issue date and a renewal date on the license. Is math that hard?

Where is everyone buying their precision calipers?

Anyone ever deal with this company? 107.00 shipped at the moment

I have used them with good results. No fakes. Be nice if someone else could verify that for you as well though. Call them and see if they pickup the phone. They take credit cards so you get some protection their as well.

I Don’t Need A Man!

I don't follow any racing. So has Danica Patrick ever won any races?
The only race she won was in Indycar in Japan. The only reason she won it was because Helio Castroneves ran out of gas..... As did the other frontrunners. A win is a win, and you take them any way you can get them.

But the fact is she outdrove no one. She got lucky because her pit strategist guessed right, while the other teams guessed wrong. Also, many of the top Indycar teams didn't show up for that race, because the prize money wasn't worth the cost for the overseas trip for the teams and all their equipment.

As far as NASCAR she was a complete disaster. She never won a race in 191 starts, and wrecked an unbelievable amount of equipment.
If you do a quick Youtube search for, "Danica the worst driver", you'll get the phone book.

But again in all fairness, the list of women who can't drive worth a shit is long and distinguished. Both Natalie Decker, and more recently Haley Deegan, have failed horrifically in the sport... And all 3 have had competitive equipment. But all they managed to do with it was wreck it.
