Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

The Rainbow for thousands of years has literally represented God's promise never to destroy the world again by flood. That this is the symbol and flag of pride in sin is just about the ultimate slap in the face to every Jew and Christian on planet earth..., but that's the point, isn't it?

NICS checks out in free states

I believe, the way it reads, it is just plain wrong or misleading at the very least

Also, different searches (even with the NSP) brought up the same info which makes you think you have to run NICS for long gun transfer (all stated "our information may be wrong"................... Huh???)

They all had pretty much the same language

NEBRASKA IS A PARTIAL POINT-OF-CONTACT STATE, MEANING FFLS CONTACT THE FBI FOR LONG GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS, WHILE A STATE ISSUED HANDGUN PERMIT IS USED FOR HANDGUN BACKGROUND CHECKS.

I called the BATF office in Omaha and asked an agent there for clarification just in case something had changed.
She said "the map/internet search is wrong" and "If a customer presents you with a current and valid NCHP or NFPC you do not have to run a NICS check for transfer of a long gun"

There is a place on 4473's to put that information on why a NICS check was not required

So, once again, take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt and don't bet your livelihood on it.
How are you supposed to do that when the site literally IS the www.atf.gov? Really? Really? They are putting up false information on the official website of the ATF? Just how fucked up and bush league does it get with these fucking clowns?

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Doc, here is an enhancement idea for you. No idea how difficult it would be. Let us rename the devices. For example, I have 2 Fire4000 WMLRFs, would like to be able to name them something other than the serial so it makes it easier to distinguish.
I can add it to the list for internal discussion for sure.

Smarter Than You

Many of these jobs could have completely automated over a decade ago, but the calculations were different.

“Am I going to pay 20 engineers, making $150k+/yr, to automate the jobs of those making $30k……and then keep paying a few of them to maintain the system?”

Versus

“Am I going to have 3 of my existing, non-engineering employees automate the jobs of those same people?”

The sad truth is that a majority of employees contribute very little. They give 2-3hrs of inefficient work per day and are lifted/elevated by the small number of productive experts.

NICS checks out in free states

I get it. I have no idea how it actually works in NE since I'm in TX. I'd have to go through the process myself to figure it out. But even that isn't a guarantee because I've had people tell me they didn't fill out a 4473 when they picked up a suppressor before.
That is odd as we fill out a 4473 for suppressors here.
Would think that's a Fed not a State thing
But I'm no expert either.

Too much gray for me.
I like to have something in official writing instead of "well, he/she said"
I did document the call with name number date etc. but that's the best I got.

Influx of new related scammer accounts?

They’re posting in new member section as well.

The interesting thing I see though is the scammer are creating the account in batches like this, padding feedback and post stats, and then changing usernames to mimic posts when they try to intercept a deal.

Case cleaning

No. As mentioned, neck peening and hassled of trying to get all the pins out of the cases.

Personally, I use a vibratory tumbler with walnut shell media and have not found a reason to make it any more complex or messy than that.

Best of luck. Cheers


Agree. I tumble with dry media only to get rid of the dirt/crud that would harm my expensive dies. Shiny brass does not add to precision.

Case cleaning

I deprime the brass, put it in an ultrasonic cleaner (with Lemishine and Dawn) for 45 mins, dry the brass then into a vibratory tumbler with walnut shells for 1 hr. Comes out as shiny as I want it and with minimal work. The reason I use the ultrasonic cleaner is to remove the carbon and primer residue before going into the tumbler. The media stays much cleaner and you don't have the carbon and primer residue dust floating around in the air. You will be surprised by how much residue is in the ultrasonic cleaner. That residue would normally be in your walnut media. Depriming first allows the primer pocket to be cleaned and prevents an air pocket in the case thus preventing the cleaning solution from getting to the inside of the case.

So there.
