30% of male pop of right age? i have read that active support was about that. just guessing on fighters but a small minority for sure. 20% loyalists,
50% on fence?
i think support was higher in France in 1789 but centered in Paris so never read re pop in general. Russia a much larger support for Kerensky workers,army,navy,peasants. Bolsheviks after the fall of Czar was very small group. Lenin won out anyway. to my knowledge most successful revolutions have very small % of armed support and feint support of security/mil factions. armed matters.

The problem with short action customs is they are too proud of their stuff and this guy is trying to save money over a factory conversion. And when I talked to someone there a year ago, he told me they were getting out of doing Desert Tech stuff altogether, but you would have to inquire for details

The easy button is go to Eric Smith @ES tactical, he has standard contours for KNP barrels in stock and often times has complete conversions in stock. The barrels I have gotten from him are all shooters.

Perfect example, see above.

We tire of your kind.

Look, life goes on (very comfortably) for the rest of us here.

Enjoy your conflict.

Better yet, die in service of your ideology.

There is really nothing any of us can do given your weak intellectual potential and failure to analyze the consequences of your actions.

Bye bye, Ukraine…

Who is “we”?

Speak for yourself, not anyone else.

The invasion was and is Putin’s conflict, not anyone else’s. He had it planned already in the early 2000s even before the invasion of Georgia.

He made one of the biggest strategic blunders in history, and now he has to watch as he gets his skull curb-checked by daddy.

This is why Putin needed Hillary to win in 2016, which is where the Steel Dossier came from. Remember Christopher Steel of British MI6?

Guess who worked out of the UK embassy in Moscow in the early 1990s, and is from Cambridge’s ideological contamination?

But things didn’t go as planned for Putin, not in the US 2016 election, especially not with Trump’s energy policy that crushed Russian GDP growth, and Trump’s war on Nordstream 2.

SCHIT!


How could anybody in their right mind allow something that looks like that or shoots like that out of their shop? ! ! It's bad enough that they would allow ANY rifle out of there like that but sending out WORK guns like that. . . . . somebody needs their nuts cut off.

And if that agency had 7 rifles built, they are not a small agency! Milwaukee PD or whoever accepted those rifles must have a clueless person running their show. I cringe at the thought of that team leader actually issuing the rifles to his PMOs. If I was the Crisis Management coordinator, I would threaten to replace the TL due to questionable judgement.

To heck with Get out of Jail Free card. Tell them you want to go to their pursuit track and practice Pit maneuvers all day and after tearing their cars up be sure to insist on Tasing somebody before you go home!

Good on you Frank for handling that.

Pretty high speed stuff actually.
It's the only way to simulate dialing and shooting at 1,400 yds on a 100yd range!.
The DeltaSealSOC units all run that setup for their snipers.

I think it's finally time for you to sit on the adults' collective lap and be given the talk that all little boys must have, as well as realize a few things...

...it's time to grow up.

1. We genuinely wished for Ukraine to cut its losses and minimize further deaths, but that sentiment has since soured because of individuals such as yourself. And SNB. And kalashnikev. And that pretentious Finnish larper.

2. Ukraine is a tool that will be used and disposed of - definitely lower in value compared to South Korea / Japan / Taiwan, and probably at the same level of Azerbaijan. Even such places that we typically sneer at - the Philippines and Myanmar - are of greater intrinsic value than Ukraine on account of how they may potentially be rallied against China (which is another topic on a far more extreme level of stupidity). This may be a gross oversimplification - but it is possible that Ukraine is in its current state because somebody didn't want you to be the biggest European train hub for the Belt and Road Initiative, and I'm not pointing at the Russians. Imagine that - all this waste of human life, just because someone didn’t like the idea of Ukraine serving as a BRICS train station.

3. Ukraine's sovereignty and well - being was never a consideration. Ukraine is but a little piece in this ridiculous Brzezinski Bible we follow.

4. The Russians went in with a mere fraction of troops and weaponry required to take even a city the size of Kiev, and initiated a treaty with Ukraine after lobbing a few shells here and there. If this statement confuses you - it means that there was never any intent for a large - scale invasion through this Special Military Operation. You had Naftali Bennett. You had Istanbul. I'm fairly certain that the Russians demanded no territorial concessions early on. But we all know how that went.

5. My country's actions are leading it on a downward slide, a "Decline of Empire" (or more aptly, the rest of the world is catching up and we are being superseded), as the Saturday Morning Punditoons would like to say - but your country will be in far worse shape when the dust clears.

6ARC gas systems and A5 buffer systems and factory ammo...what's the baseline?

Bantam1 said:
When I bought the A5 kit they only offered one weight at the time. I am not up to speed on all the other buffer weight versions they off and the naming conventions for them. The 3 kits I have were all purchased when they released them years ago. Also the A5 buffers have 4 weights inside I think. I took one apart to adjust the weight. I think it's 4 weights and a short spring. It's been many years since I did it. I thought they were all steel but I could be mistaken.

This is correct. The chart is flawed.
The “h” refers to the number of tungsten weights be it 0-4.

Depends on what your definition of standard is (all steel weights, etc). FWIW, from chatgpt, A5H2 would be closest to 5.3 oz.

I haven't a clue. My highschool yearbook doesn't go back that far.

Web search comes up with an estimate of less than 2% of the population actually participated in the effort.

Short Action Customs historically; If you're wanting a great training barrel then his 223 conversion shoots the lights out, and is just a hoot to shoot. I use it predominantly as a low cost trainer/kids rifle. My 7yo splits hairs with it; literally. We hang cat-tails up sometimes and he'll cut the stem intentionally. Or cut the lip of a soda can.

And why do you think that is, Sherlock?

These are countries that the beloved Anglosphere has trampled on is in the process of trampling upon, yes?

That certainly sounds like G7 propaganda - it may have been trendy in the late 80s to early 90s, but has since gotten a little long in the tooth.

Only a fool would consider personalities such as Carlson a source of serious information.

But in fairness to your statement, there are numerous flies who flock to high - traffic threads full of manure thinking their inane Twitter posts are of any substance.

I have yet to see a greater example of irony - with all this coming from someone whining about the Russians having come knocking at Ukraine’s door.

The US never trampled over Iran, as Iran was one of our biggest allies in the region.

The Muslim revolutionaries saw the US and any Western nation as their enemies, for ideological and religious reasons, but you often find that these types of groups are almost always proxies for major powers.

If you read through the Soviet archival records on the 1979 Revolution, it’s a mixed bag of claiming total shock that it happened, vs them thinking they could share some kind of common ground with them, and the practical aspects of ousting the Shah.

The Soviets did not like it that the US sold F-4Es, F-E/F, and F-14A with full weapons suite to Iran. The Soviets were used to being able to violate Iranian airspace at their pleasure until introduction of the F-14A/AWG-9 into the mix, so they saw US supplying of Iran as a major strategic threat to them close to their Caucuses Republics’ borders.

Remember that the Soviets and Brits invaded Iran back in 1941.

It’s best to spend the time to put in the reps and years studying all of these things before jumping straight into rhetoric. I would recommend avoiding rhetoric altogether and focus more on geography, then history.

Precious-few people even in the US diplomatic corps or senior levels of DoD know any of this information, because of the schooling system in the US.

There is nothing ironic about my posts about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine relative to this subject. I don’t have a ADHD Twitter account, nor do I rely on any of these stupid social media platforms for primary source information.

What you’re going to see moving forward is a bigger house of cards built on internet-based knowledge only, where millennials and Gen Z truly believe that what’s on the internet is comprehensive enough to inform them well.

They don’t even realize that most of the information online is not accessible to them, as it’s in the Deep Web, and most of that is silo’d.
