I thought the whole Mar-a-Lago shit was debunked? Is this your TDS that keeps coming through?

Which part that Epstein was a great pal of Donie or that Virgina was picked up at Mar-a-lago?

I am as far as you get from TDS , but also do not have blind faith in Donald that seems to be the flip side of the same coin as TDS


''Virginia Roberts Giuffre has stated publicly and in court documents that she was recruited by Maxwell into a sex trafficking operation led by Epstein while she was working as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 1999.

When Giuffre was 16, she says Maxwell approached her at Mar-a-Lago and convinced her to give Epstein massages at his Palm Beach residence. This, Giuffre testified, was how years of sexual abuse perpetrated against her by Epstein and his powerful connections began.

Giuffre has not testified against Trump, and said her only relationship with the president is that she worked for him at Mar-a-Lago.''

Obviously you have not been counting how many people have shot themselves with Grocks.

Let's start with a classic.

Besides this one, there are also a few videos out there of Grocks "firing themselves".

oh, the classic one where the guy clearly pulls trigger and it fires......pretty much the exact opposite of a 320, lmao. Copium much? I prefer the videos of the 320 striker safety failing to do it's job and 50% failure rate. Or sigs vibration testing that shows 30% show signs of the striker making light indentation on primers. I just can't see being so emotionally attached to a firearm that you put blinders on. It's a basic striker pistol that doesn't do anything better than 4 or 5 other striker guns that don't come with the poor safety track record.

FWIW... and not saying there is anything "slow" about these other products.

5.56 70gr TSX, SCL3DG011... just bought a week ago. ( $13.99 / 20rds )

5.56 75gr Horn. BTHP, SCRL1DJ281, also from a week ago ( $9.99 / 20rds )

Anyone know how to interpret PSA / AAC ammo lot numbers ? IE , date of production ?

Still available

Jumped up Jesus, that's got to be hot as shit! Pretty sure 6 dasher is usually in the 2975-3025fps range. How long after firing until you can touch cases?

Unless you disconnect the medulla… you are going to going to be conscious for long enough to know what is happening.

Even guillotine victims likely remained aware for up to 4 minutes before the brain shut down. Maybe longer.

Lethal injection where you are sedated and unconscious is about the only painless way to go.

And prisoner asked for firing squad. He got it. So WTF is the problem?

Oh I get it…. All this is about lefty activists trying to end death penalty and they will go Rhheeeeeeeee at any excuse to make their feelings better.

I like both but for different reasons.

More 1917 Enfields where produced during the WW1 time frame than 03's. So more Enfields seen service in US troops hands than 03's. Yes the Enfield was a stop gap measure to supplement demand for WW1 rifles for our troops and Springfield and Rock Island couldn't produce the 03 fast enough. Remington in NY, the Remington Eddystone plant and Winchester all produced 1917 rifles. Originally for England as the Pattern 1914 in 303 Brit.

In the grand scheme of things... neither rifle is more accurate than the other. If you had to get nit picky... a 1903NM purpose built rifle (which would've had a star gauged barrel on it and the stock fitting got more attention to it as well along with a tuned trigger if I recall correctly... than the 1903 but I'm talking standard service issue made rifles... neither is more accurate. I've rebuilt 1917's with the original barrels on them and scoped them or shot them with iron sights and bedded the stocks. It would surprise you if you have one with a bore in good condition how accurate they are. I picked up a sporterized 1917 Remington for my brothers wife who wanted to get him a gun as a Christmas present for hunting as he only had a lever 30-30 and only had $200 to spend. So I bought one off of GB (this was about 10+ years ago). Yep for $200 including shipping. Crown wasn't the greatest so I touched up the crown on the shortened 22" barrel, bedded the stock because it was cracked, the receiver was already d&t for a scope base and I thru a old straight 4x scope I had laying around on the rifle. Think it was a old Bushnell I had laying in my box off extra stuff. That gun with box ammo shot consistent 3/4moa groups. Being as I know how much of a butt head my older brother is.... I honestly didn't feel he deserved the rifle. I should've kept it for myself and went and found another. Anyways I got it to his wife... she surprised him with it for a Christmas gift and he blew a gasket because she spent $200. Never got a thanks for all the work I did to it for her to give it to him...yep should've kept it for myself. LOL! Anyways....

Standard issued service spec rifles both had straight grip stocks. The later type C stock I agree is more comfortable for overall shooting.

The 2 groove barrels seen on 1917's are replacement barrels during a rebuild process. All standard/original 1917's should have a conventional 5 groove rifled barrel with a left hand twist rifling. If you would shoot both side by side... the guns will torque differently.

All 1903 barrels would be 4 groove right hand twist. Both guns are 1-10 twist barrels. It wasn't until the 1903A3 rifles did the Springfield's get 2 groove barrels or if a earlier gun went thru a rebuild process it might have had a 2 groove installed. All 2 groove barrels where cut rifled. Broach or button where not allowed on 2 groove barrels. All 1917's and 03's had cut rifled barrels.

Both receivers have a square thread 10tpi. The 1917 receivers have a 1.125" major diameter thread. 03's have a smaller major diameter thread about a .100" smaller. Does it effect anything accuracy wise? Nah.

1917's and early Remington 30 Express rifles are cock on closing when you rack the bolt. Later 30 Express rifles where done at Remington to cock on opening. Is one system better than the other? I'll say no. In terms of speed to manipulate the bolt... I'll say no. It's what your use to.

Here is a pic of my Rem. 30 Express that I've been working on a rebuild with a custom stock. This is a factory cock on opening gun. After putting a new barrel on it in 30-06 (22" finish length) I sent the barreled action out and had it re rust blued which is period correct for the gun. Not hot blued.




Ever seen a guy run the mad minute drill? Look up some videos on it. I think the record set with a Lee Enfield which is cock on closing... was just shy of 40 hits on target at 300 yards in one minute. Doesn't matter if you agree with it or not... that's frickin cruising with Enfield bolt gun. The average rifleman was in order to get his marksman badge... was suppose to get 15 rounds off in one minute and all rounds score on the target at 300 yards. Think it was a man size target. I've seen guys at hi power matches get around 15-20 rounds fired in 70 seconds prone with a Winchester Match rifle and doesn't matter how you cut it... that's running a bolt gun lightning fast.

Later, Frank
