Ok enough shenanigans.

It is Sunday June 15th, Fathers Day.

Go hug yer dad or if like me and he (they including FIL) are passed…..

Remember him.

Hug yer kids, be glad for procreation and being part of it.


My dad passed when I was 19 from a long battle with cancer. I feel like I didn’t really know him that well, only how a kid knows a man. I didn’t get to know him as an adult, he didn’t see me marry, he didn’t see my daughter or my grandson.

My FIL was a good man who took me as his own. I loved William but he too is now gone.

I tried to be a good dad, still I strive for that and she is 30. I try to be an exceptional grandpa as you have seen in pictures.

Life is not scripted. We choose daily who we are. Be dad.

So….

If the PLUNGER SPRING were to fail, could we then say that the slide stop could/would suffer from a weak spring and prematurely lock the slide to the rear due to recoil? Just like a weak “slide stop spring” on the Glock design pistol?

Beautiful shots

Seems like some disinformation was posted by the Duck.

Again- not trying to be argumentative but rather shed some light/facts on the topic is all.

In PA- the breathalyzers are no longer admissible in court (unless brought up in some particular way during individual testimony, which is why I was advised personally not to testify because of the outrageous statement that could have been brought up). Not directed towards you by any means @Redmanss but one of the reasons the breathalyzers stoped being admissible in court is because it was demonstrated that one could be perfectly sober and blow a zero but then eat a slice of white bread and have that that immediately register. Just sharing that because it really screwed up the previous narrative of things that presumably were infallible.

So- just me talking here on the topic and subject/ what happened here locally is when the breathalyzers stopped being admissible court evidence, the police departments (understandably) stopped bothering to go through the trouble of calibrating them. True story but by all means fact check me there (I got a lot smarter on this over the past few years myself).

A quick search shows that the field used breathalyzer is not allowed in court as evidence. It is just a tool for the officer to further their investigation. The breathalyzers at the station are allowed as evidence. Your lawyer can question the validity of the results by questioning the calibration and the procedures used by the officer. The procedure includes a 20 minute observation period in which time the test subject is not allowed to consume anything that will alter the results. Such as breath mints, breads and other things.

Fact checked as you requested. Do I need to post links or is this screenshot good enough?

Up

Ok, you all convinced me not to fly too close to the sun. 1 in 8 it is.

That's a beautiful rifle for sure! I've just never understood fluting that would have netted the same weight by going one contour down. Then again these are your choices, your creation that brings you satisfaction, and I can understand THAT.

Purely aesthetic.

Budget? I dunno. I'm not really looking to build up a $2k chasis + custom everything rig tailored to hand loads.

Kinda the point is to get something besides an AR to start burning through this ammo.

They are actually protesting Juneteenth. Democrats are still bitter that we took away their slaves.

Gotta be that residual Biden fatigue that hopefully gets power washed out very quickly. Hegseth already started by getting that troon shit purged immediately. All that DEI nonsense will be gone as well.

Agree they could have done better with the marching but aw heck we do NOT want to emulate the Chicoms with the goose-stepping. LOL. They were no doubt watching eagerly and were dying for a chance to exclaim "OOH LOOK, the Americans are copying us", and we didn't give them that chance. And future wars will solely be based on technology and I am glad we were able to showcase a pie slice of what we have so far. The Chicoms might be able to whip up a group of conscripts pushing them through 120°F temps with sandbags tied to their legs until they can move in a perfect square with T-1000 style precision, but that would not matter when unmanned and camouflaged 'mothership' APCs, running on battery mode and silent, several miles away open and launch a drone swarm with 100 exploding buzzers coming out of each pod all homing in on faces and uniforms in the fog of the battlefield.

Snipers and drones will dominate ground battles in the future. Maybe we might even bring the Gyrojet back one day in the form of a .50 cal or 20mm intelligent, homing, and guided projectile...
