Ukraine war Bullshit.

My favorite aspect of this war has to be the insane levels of hypocrisy on the left in regards to ultra-nationalism.

On one hand, they will proclaim that ultra-nationalism is the gravest threat to our democracy, and equating leaders of the opposing political tribe as literal fascists/Hitler (Trump, Musk, etc.) in the most grandiose and hyperbolic manner. On the other hand, they completely twist themselves into pretzels to defend literal ultra-nationalists/neo-nazis in Ukraine that we are training and arming with billions in military equipment.

Right or left ?

I found that using a pencil flame torch like the one below allowed for more precise heating and kept the heat away from the body.

Virginia McDonald's bans amish teens

Well, to get around "ethnic" discrimination lawsuits, at least. They can still sue for "age" discrimination. There is no law to authorize age limitations, like there is for the sale of alcoholic beverages at a liquor store, or tobacco products in some cases, etc. etc..... or "handguns."

The report didn't mention it (and I'm sure we won't ever see it), but I want to see the actual demographic breakdown of the "troublemakers." It did mention in a veiled way that it seemed to be both "Amish" and "Latin/Hispanic" but before I can call it an "Amish" issue, I want to see that report. I can't come to that conclusion based on the demographics of the high school, which seemed a lot more "diverse" than would allow for that conclusion.

It's that type of mentality that is gonna solve nothing. We need to stop beating around the bush and call a spade a spade (no pun intended). We see videos all over Twitter and YouTube of what race the troublemakers are. Obviously I'm not calling for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act, but we need to stop putting the "amish" on a pedestal. When you spoil a group of people since birth and tell them they're perfect and whitey is the problem, they're gonna grow up believing it and also believing they can get away with murder (literally).

Looking to purchase my first and last suppressor

Ok, so I got around to attempting to disassemble my Banish 30 and used the above trick. Can hardly believe it, but yep, it works! Left it soak for 24hrs and both the end cap and 2in extension unscrewed without much trouble.

Thanks man!

P.S. for soaking I used a glass carafe I found in Fleet Farm, of all places lol. Came with a sort of Pringles can plastic top. Just the right dimension for a 1.5” diameter suppressor. Keeps the can upright and I could add just the right amount of liquid (not wasteful but also enough to be effective).

Of course, glass is easy to clean. The carafe might fit a bit wider suppressor too.

Was about $4.

Now I’m so high class that I clean with my pinkies out. 🎩

I used a tall cocktail glass, at least I did until I dropped it this past weekend. D'oh! But it fits closer to the can so you use less extra fluid.

Edit: then again, maybe with the flare in the body it wouldnt have slipped out of my fingers...

Suppressed 9mm

It's hard to beat the mpx all around for me but the MP5 will always be king of the hill. There's a bunch of good options these days but some type of delayed blowback would be a must for me.
Delayed, and non-reciprocating.

Don't get me wrong, I love shooting PCCs with suppressed subs (or even better the Banshee in .45), but it is still a rifle and you're walking around with a rifle even if it's pistol caliber. I really like the concealability of the pistols while sacrificing none of the firepower.

The SP9A3 Stribog (or Scorpion and the other true braced pistols) is teeny-tiny without the suppressor and the whale tail collapsed. I can fit the pistol, the suppressor, and six 30 round mags in a very small Grey Ghost Scarab, that looks like it would barely hold a laptop.

Pick a totally non-tactical, non-camo color for added camouflage and you can walk anywhere and no one would ever have any idea. It can be pulled out, charged and ready to go in about 15seconds.

IMHO this is the most enormous amount of firepower you can fit in an entirely unobtrusive and stealth package that would allow you to stroll almost anywhere and no one would have any idea.

I'll grant you that I put this package together for more than a range toy, but it's just as fun and easy to shoot at the PCCs. I wanted the most firepower I could get and fully conceal. Honestly, it's so small that no one would ever suspect it, and far less suspect than a violin or guitar case.

Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

Be careful with that stuff.
The only CLR use case I have right now is on the first inch forward of the chamber and the muzzle of my stainless barrels. I used to use it in the entire bore until I discovered that a putting a thick C4-wet patch on a cleaning jag one caliber smaller than bore size works wonders, without the risks of CLR. I prefer not to use CLR at all, but it can't be beat for nuking diamond-hard carbon.

I appreciate everyone's input. I ordered the Anbull unit last night.

How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

How do you note the current zero yardage of your rifle when storing it between range days?
For instance:
If I take my 6.5 hottness and confirm zero @100yds then go to 600 and 100yds banging steel, when the day is should I pull out all the wind and elevation and leave it at 100yds Zero?
Or do you leave it at the 600yd zero or 1000yd zero? (which is my preference but does not account for changing wind)
I normally leave mine zeroed @ 600 elevation and whatever wind hold I had remaining.
But I was thinking that this "stored setting" is also related to the amount of wind on that day shooting 600, and the temperature of that day at 600 and so on...
So technically it would be more accurate to at the end of the day go back to 100yds with Zero elevation and wind (basically take out the environmental conditions that existed at range last time)
When leaving it at 600, on my next range visit I just do a hold under value to confirm yardage at 100 plate (disregard wind), then start shooting at the 600 berm.

So do ya'll just go back to zero each time? or note what yardage(and possibly wind, temp etc..) it is left zeroed for?
In the picture below you will see a piece of Coroplast attached to my Mag Block along with a Pica Dry pencil and a sharpie.
I use paracord and a quick release clip so I can leave the mag block in place and take the coroplast.
At the start of the day I write down all the distances and my estimated dope using Strelok or Applied Ballistics in sharpie.
During my walk back I will write down any changes in pencil.

Some guys laminate their dope cards.
