Develop your reading comprehension skills. The emoji implies that the state of discrimination against men is a joke.

Miserbale “men” who lack mental capacity to understand simple stuff are also one of the reasons for downfall of this society.

It's not only miserable men that are the reasons for the downfall of society. It's the miserable women.

IMHO, they out number the number of men that are reasonable.

Everything done in the name of reform are but mere Band-Aids on a severed limb.

A step in the right direction would be to repeal the 19th amendment, stop women from voting and holding any sort of public office.

That will probably never happen in my lifetime unless the muslims take over. Then everyone will feel misery.

I know that nobody is looking for a serious answer and just wants to bitch, but the real issue is that we don't just want to go to the moon in a tin can for a couple of days, but instead set up some proper infrastructure as a stepping stone to elsewhere in the solar system. This means that we can't just dust off the Apollo tech and run it back again.

Complicating matters are our desire to do this on a shoestring budget, no broad public support, the presidential flip-flop every four years, a chronic inability to put the best possible leadership in place (not putting forth the nomination of Jared Issacman was a colossal failure), and awkward public-private partnerships with companies that either haven't yet demonstrated much of anything (Blue Origin) or who are struggling mightily with the fact that the move-fast-break-stuff iterative approach might have finite limitations (you know who).

Yep, people have no clue what they are talking about if they are comparing Apollo era NASA vs what they are trying to do this time around. I actually do enjoy the iterative design approach that Space X does. I firmly believe if they just wanted to just to get to the moon Starship would have been testing a lot of other things right now, except for the fact that they are trying to make the whole rocket reusable.

The "real" answer is that we've never been to the moon. We are never going to the moon or anywhere else away from earth.
This isn't a sci-fi movie. It's real fucking life.
We are on this planet. We will die on this planet.
The planet isn't dying. We aren't creating climate change.
Everything is ok.
We got wars to fight still.

In today's social media age, They will have to film everything live and that would be spilling too many secrets.

The whole pod casters and conspiracy theorist will have too much food in their mouth.

Why? Sure there will be plenty of live coverage, but why would they GAF about the conspiracy theorists? Anything that gets accomplished will speak for itself.

Bergara said there was going to be some new rifles announced, but I didn't see anything come out.
Not sure I'd want a Bergara though, one of the least reliable factory rifles I've ever seen.

It's a bit of a shame the factory class will end up being taken over by the custom factory rifles, but I guess they want manufacturers to start putting out turn-key PRS rifles so can't really complain.

The new Anschutz 1727 APR is a seriously cool rifle, and not badly priced. I'm quite tempted to pick one up over a custom build, now that Vudoo and RimX are not as reliable as they used to be.

IPRF has way to many divisions , and factory class would best be just done away with , now its stuffed with open rifles that are specifically offered to game the rules. Enforcing some sort of cost limit rule would likely need some work.

Hope Anschutz makes some larger mags for legarcy models , i am not to fond of fortner action , would take 54:18 over it any time of the day.

EU Trying for Regime Change in Hungary Using Zelensky

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/europes-current-economy/eu-trying-for-regime-change-in-hungary-using-zelensky/

would be kinda cool if Hungary,Slovakia entered on Russia's side. Poland coming in would end Ukraine in a few weeks. won't happen but interesting thought. Hungary has Austria on lt,Romania on rt and Balkan states below. whole thing could play out weird. would be no surprise if Hungary was attacked from the back in such a case. but Austria will do nothing. Serbia is Russ friend. Romania still ruled by a Biden 2020 style outfit. Germany attack thru Austria? Germany can't do shit. the outcome in east central Europe is gonna be real interesting.
i would hope Orban doesn't take more shit but Z and his Euro bosses are capable of some dirty games.

He was in the neighbors yard confronting them.
He had already pulled out his gun in anticipation of shooting the homeowner.

Why was he there? He didn't have to be.

I assumed that was his house and the ones who assaulted him were the neighbors?

Doesn't matter where or how or what... if he can convince a jury that he was reasonably in fear of his life or severe bodily injury, then it is a good shoot. BUT... convincing the jury? If he was a 60 year old guy and those were two teenagers? Easy call. But he looks fit and young enough to not be infirmed or 'reasonably' in fear of death or severe bodily harm.

But once the aggressor threw the first punch... both he and his buddy were guilty of assault. And two against one can give him a defense on the base of 'would a reasonable person fear for their life or severe bodily injury. That's the standard. That said, he was also on camera and backed up away from the punches before advancing and firing when the dead idiot was out of punching range. Slowed down and played to a jury... does he still reasonably fear for his life or bodily injury as he would if, say, he was knocked to the ground and they were advancing on him? I think that's where he fails in his defense.

Also, if it's not his house/carport/driveway... then things get even sportier for his defense! Once we have all the facts, it will probably become a lot more clear cut one way or another!

And, yeah, good shoot or not. I still think he'es going to jail.

That is why I like the old, original 3x Aimpoint - good relief, clear glass.

I've been tempted by the sexiness of design re: the unity mount, but over the years, in practice I've often rolled the gun over so I could see/spot through the 3X without the dot and extra coated lenses that are taking away from transmission and clarity.

Potato tomato, if you like it and practice with it, 2.6, 3, 4, 6x - they'll all do God's work out to a reasonable distance if the trigger nut is functional.

They're epoxied on, however if you follow the instructions it won't come off. The sight goes over the bead and the epoxy fills the void around it and adheres to the barrel.

I think that in the future there will be more semi-“bespoke” factory rifles. Anshutz does it now too. A top tier “factory” Corvette is the same deal. Way simpler than building it yourself and becoming an amateur gun tuner after $$$$ frustration.

Just got back from the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. It was actually a really good museum, spoiled by a level of wokeness in the staff and some of the 'modern' exhibit captions that would make Henry Ford spin in his grave.

At least they have not changed the daily 11:45am J.A. Topf and Sohn "Kiln" demonstration. I think I saw Bender there. Henry Ford would have loved it.

I know this will be a little long winded, but the details might be important on this one.

So I’ve gone down this rabbit hole before, without specifically knowing it. At the time primarily focused on the negative effects of an extremely overpassed system. At the time I was seeing abnormally large groups after adding a suppressor, which was resolved by reducing the gas via a BRT gas tube. It worked quite well, and resulted in the rifle going back to shooting as well as it did prior to adding the can. That said, I would still get random fliers (true fliers, on a 30 shot group, 28rds into 1.2”, the 2 would fly wide and increase the es to 2”) which I chalked up to me just sucking, or getting sloppy.

Fast forward, I built a new upper specifically to help reduce receiver flex/positional poi shift (which was done reasonably successfully with an Aero Enhanced upper and rail). This meant a whole new upper, and allowed to be built with an adjustable gas block this time. Long story short, new upper shoots great, gas is tuned perfectly, still getting random fliers as discussed above, so same conclusion, I must still be doing something weird to cause the fliers.

Then a buddy of mine who works in a local gunshop hits me up and is telling me about this new BCG they have from VKTR (turns out it’s exactly the same as the Leitner Wise bgc) and that I should try it out. After looking into it, their claim to fame is an altered/delayed cam path, that is supposed to unlock the bolt/extract the case 10-15% later than a standard BCG, thus keeping full pressure in the barrel longer, and extracting at lower pressures, which should reduce gas to the face running suppressed. It’s also hard chromed, and a couple other minor advantages, so I figured sure, why not. Worst case it does nothing, and I could use another BCG anyway.

Turns out, it definitely does something. The rifle went from locking back on empty to not locking back. And most interestingly to me, the fliers seem to have disappeared. It was just one group, but it’s August in AZ, so laying on the ground to shoot a group is not comfortable this time of year, and it was a 20rd group in about 2 minutes, so the rifle got quite hot. All that to say, if there were ever conditions that would justify having some fliers it was that.

Obviously I need to do some more testing, but has anyone observed anything similar? Maybe not with the Leitner Wise/VKTR cam path, but I know LMT and Surefire do something similar with a delayed cam path. Does it even make sense that delayed unlocking would have that much of an effect?

I dont know, bud. It seems to me that you're chasing a phantom. One or two fliers in a high round count group could be caused by anything, including the rifle reacting more violently. In my experience, gassing has very little to do with accuracy and that which it does affect is due to the rifle shooting more smoothly.

Honestly, I don't see the benefit of a carrier that delays unlocking of the bolt. Well, I suppose it could serve a purpose in rifles that are more than slightly overgassed, but I don't see how its gonna help otherwise. By altering, or increasing, the closed bolt lock time you are requiring additional gas through the tube to return the rifle to a state where it will fire reliably. You're essentially creating a condition similar to having worn out rings.

The only advantage that I can imagine right now is that it might allow you to run less reciprocating mass (a lighter buffer).

Maybe I’m weird or just really tolerant, but I run a PRO with a Larue Po’ Boy behind it and find it to work great for my uses. Hanging off the side doesn’t seem to bother me at all, and the clarity from the little 2.6x Hensoldt magnifier is surprisingly good. It was cheap (think I paid $200 all in for the Larue mount w/ magnifier), and the rifle it’s on is an older 16” w/ pre-MLOK MagPul furniture, so the Po’ Boy is “period correct” on it lol.

I’ve run it at a few 2-gun matches and it made hits on 2/3 IPSC steel out to 250m an absolute cake walk with XM193. In fact, my first match out with it, I kicked ass on the long stage, beating out almost everyone else running an LPVO. So properly set up, they DO work.

I’ll admit the low mag is a little limiting (6x would be AWESOME), but it still definitely extends my reach and precision at distance compared to just the dot while still allowing me to keep the dot (which is still king at defensive distances IMO).

Eye relief is short, yes. But I run my stock in the 3rd hole out on a 6-pos buffer tube, so it’s not a problem for me. If OP doesn’t HAVE to run the stock all the way out, I’d suggest trying it a few slots in and see if it helps.

Codypage76 · 2025-08-26T10:47:02-0400

Just picked up one of these and tossed the old one. Had to trim down the bolt and chamfer it using a table grinder. I also took a spring from a pen, cut it in half, and placed the halves on the two bosses. Works way better now. I can loosen it and slide it without removing it or having it fall off. It no longer “bite locks” when loosened—much smoother operation.
