Wow! The National Guard is getting deputized as US Marshals in DC.
View attachment 8748219
Gonna be honest…I’m of two minds on this one. I’m happy that our Capitol is getting cleaned up, and as a Federal district it kind of makes sense to use the Guard or hell, even Active Duty troops to rein in the utter lunacy and crime that’s prevailed there for so long.

But I hate that it took this step to clean up DC; more to the point, I hate the precedent.

And when I hear talk of doing the same in other Libtard-run shit holes like Chiraq, NY, and Portland, as much as I’d love to see them cleaned up too, the thought of doing under the guise of a Federal Police Force frankly scares the shit out of me. Not a far leap from Federal Police to a Police State.

Fuck that noise.

Still contemplating a savage 10fp in 308.

Back in the late 90s in my early days in the army in purchased a savage 10fp Le with hs precision stock and had a super sniper 10x on it. It was close enough to my m24 that I could practice on my own time and really loved that rifle.. I wound up selling it after my daughter was born and always regretted it.

Over the past 4 years or so I have been planning on getting back into the sport and really wanted another one, but common sense told me there was better. About a year ago my custom Zermatt tl3 build was completed in 6.5 and then I picked up a new Remington 700 police in 300 wm.

My local shop still has the new old stock savage 10fp in hs precision stock in 308 and I'm still contemplating purchasing it. I can justify it and give it to my daughter so she can learn long range and shoot with me she is 25 now.

Should I fulfill the urge and longing for rifle I had and loved, or should I pass? I know I can buy a bergara and it might be a better rifle and have more aftermarket support, but you know.. Price is 950 without the optic they threw on it.

Can anyone ID this ammo dispenser?

uff ... the inside is more complicated than I imagined

I assume that little hinged divider thing can be moved along the corrugated metal for different length cartridges? That would help explain why the spring leafs are so short.

Weird that there's not a single mark on it.

I tried searching for answers a little earlier and got nothing. May try again tomorrow. Can't believe it's a one-off, somebody must have made a few of these and sold them.
Yes it's somewhat puzzling as a standard military item would only need to be made for one cartridge.
It's a pretty interesting way of making the an adjustable cartridge holder but why?

California Magazine Ban Update

A while back California banned standard capacity magazines with no grandfather clause. California gun owners fought back and are now on our second trip to the Supreme Court to find out whether it is constitutional to ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The Supreme Court chickened out on the Snopes case a few months ago on "assault weapons" in Maryland and we are about to see if the court is also comfortable with magazine bans and confiscations.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

This is a very interesting video. Formally speaking. Alaska is a Russian territory.

“Is”? What are you talking about? Try “was”. I don’t see any Russian flags flying over Alaska and they aren’t speaking Russian. Last I checked there are 50 stars in the flag, not 49, and the bases there are US. Among other details.

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

I once shot a few tight groups in a man's target who was sitting next to me because I got tired hearing his wife complaining about how she wants to go home.
Sometimes I have fun with people by shooting their targets. It’s really fun when you can time your shots on their target at the same time they shoot. I’ve made many a people scratch their heads. 😂 I don’t make a habit of it but if someone is being an ass I’ll totally screw with them.

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

I guess I suck then. My DDM4v7 shot 5MOA or worse with eastern euro 55gr blammo. Tried some of my own handloads with Hornady 75bthp and it shot more like 1.5MOA with the factory barrel. Put a new custom Bartlein barrel on it and it shoots 0.5 - 0.6MOA.
Damn! I’ve never seen a DD shoot that bad. All I’ve ever seen or had were very nice and super accurate. I likely would have sent that back to them after some thorough testing. Anyways something a lot here are leaving out is that you have to find what ammo your rifle likes. I’ve got more than a few ARs and they all shoot different. Even the same manufacturer and model etc. some shoot wildly different. I’ve got a specific two ARs that are made by a very reputable group, literally the same rifle by same manufacturer, same twist barrel etc. one won’t shoot 55 grain anything worth shit, it likes the heavier stuff. 77gr. Razorcore is just insane with it, almost cheating. The other one is literally the exact opposite. It hates the heavier stuff. I have no idea why. But this is one of the first things I do with any rifle. Take a blend of ammo out there and see what it likes, then you can either buy more of that or reverse engineer it and load your own. Either way it gives you a great starting point. To me it’s a very important step. I wish every rifle was the same and they’d all eat and spit out the same accuracy with the same ammo but that’s never ever been my experience.
