In May of 1913 he left Austria and moved to Germany, after dodging military conscription for years in Austria. In February 1914, Austrian authorities caught up with him and deemed him unfit for service, after failing a physical. August of 1914 he signed on to a Bavarian reserve regiment though technically ineligible, as he was not a German citizen. Why he refused to fight for Austria, but wanted to be in Germany is something I don’t know?

He served in one battle as an infantry man, in which his regiment suffered 75% losses and his company 83% losses. During the fighting he was deemed ineffective and pushed to the rear by other fighting men. Which is likely why he survived.

The Nazi’s propagandized his service, making him out as some hero.

After his short infantry career he was turned into a regiment courier, and never went with in a few miles of the front, as the regiment head quarters was located miles from the front. He was not a company or battalion courier. He spent most of his time in the rear. Yes he took some shrapnel from an artillery round to the thigh and got caught in some mustard gas.

When the Russians came for him in 45, he definitely didn’t pick up a rifle and fight. Judge it as you will, I personally don’t hold him in high regard. Just another person attempting to lead the world to murder and suicide.

just putting out what i know at this point. you may or may not be more accurate. doesn't matter. not a praise of his life. he was what he was. and yes,a prime example of what sort should not be in control or have power. not much good luck on that front historically,here or anywhere else really.

I thought I'd try my hand writing for big gun magazines. Savage sent me a 338 Lapua Magnum, Hornady sent me a few boxes of ammunition.

The combination was awful. The rifle wouldn't shoot my handloads proven in a number of name-brand rifles.

Sent them back. The soft brass was trash and I doubt reloadable. I told the editor my results.

What the single best 10-shot target looked like off sandbags at 200 yards, working way harder than I thought necessary. The X-ring is three inches across.

Maybe I'm too picky. I wouldn't buy or keep it.

Been researching Abel Co suppressors. Can’t find a whole lot of end user information so far. The 30 cal Biscuit and Biscuit 556 are what I’m looking at.

Anyone run either the regular Biscuit or Biscuit 556 on a gas gun? Is the gas blow back reduced as advertised? How is the flash signature reduction?

Cant speak to the flash reduction but the gas was an improvement over a U9 i had on the same gun/load/ Regular BCG

I shoot the Biscuit in conjunction with a bootleg carrier now completely open.

That solved the problem almost entirely except for a “mag dump” scenario on which i have my nose to the handle

what sites do you guys follow for,hopefully,accurate info? i have been following the military summary. pro Russian but not ass kissing. they do report + Uke moves and successes and seem careful about reporting and confirming Russ wins. they comment on US/Euro stuff but keep that pretty neutral.

To keep it balanced, I watch pro Russian Military summary and pro Ukrainian Willy OAM.

Though, Willy is probably a lot more objective, but is undergoing treatment for brain cancer, so takes the occasional week off.

Indeed. In another 6 weeks I'm sure we'll have a few threads bitching about fresh 2026 price hikes on scopes and other shooting accessories.

While not the same industry, for the last year some of the vendors I've been working with have been sending quotes that are valid for only 48-72 hours because of extreme market volatility and they don't want to be left holding the bill when a tariff change impacts their raw materials sources.

One laser product from Leica that I got a quote on in late August was followed up by an email a few days later saying there was going to be a 30% price hike due to tariffs if I didn't buy before the end of September; 30% of 250K isn't insignificant, and yet I still had to argue with our purchasing department that we were going to need the piece of equipment to meet the contract requirements regardless, so if they wanted to drag their feet it was going to cost the company $75k more and I don't want to hear about it in the budget meeting, lol.

Different industries have different product margins. For my dayjob, we manufacture instrumentation in Israel. We run on rather slim margins, so we honored all outstanding quotes, then increased the prices by the exact amount we had to pay in tariffs.

Ultimately, nearly all of the price increase is paid by the US taxpayer since we almost exclusively work in the military world and even when I sell something to a large aerospace contractor, it is all for some government funded program.

Riflescope world runs on larger margins than we do, so most of them can afford to bump up the prices in smaller chunks over time, which is what we have likely been seeing.

I just don't know if there is much drawback to that over direct thread for a precision rifle. That is using a taper mount instead of direct thread.

No drawback. Bad threads on the muzzle or the hub/DT mount will hurt accuracy as much as shit taper mount. Neither will take away your ability to change the can on the fly if thats the issue you want to solve.

Putting thread locker on the HUB is a solution anxiously looking for a problem but if you re convinced its a great idea, i say do it.

Are the rails decommissioned? If not is there a way to get an alert that a train is coming, other that the obvious ways like a horn or if the train is close enough the rails singing (if you can hear/ feel them on the bike.)

Just gathering some current data on the cow catchers.

Libtards once again being obsessed with sexualizing kids and trying to turn little boys gay. It’s disgusting. And nobody wants to talk about the prevalence of gays preying on children. But rap/hip hop is demonic music, so it ain’t surprising to see a rapper doing the devil’s work. “You will know them by their fruits..”

I hate wearing glasses when I shoot with a riflescope. After paying multi kilobucks for top-of-the-line optics, even the most expensive fancy coated polycarbonate eyeglasses make the picture coming out of the eyepiece look dull. Therefore, I usually shoot without my glasses. This is NOT an ideal situation. I would like eye protection, but it’s insulting that the IQ from the scope is impacted by my glasses.

The problem with polycarbonate lenses is that it has a very low Abbe number, meaning that it creates CA, (Chromatic Aberration.) Your high dollar riflescope can control CA very well, but you just created some with your polycarb lenses. This is with eyeglasses, safety glasses, etc. Trivex has a much higher Abbe number compared to polycarbonate, it’s not Super ED or CaF2 numbers, but it’s much better than the polycarb. I found an outfit called Zenni.com that produces all types of eyewear, and you can upgrade the lens material to Trivex for $30. I went ahead and ordered a pair of safety glasses made with Trivex.

When I wear these safety glasses, I cannot tell the difference between having them on and naked eye. I can sure tell the difference between naked eye and my polycarb prescription glasses, they make everything duller, the colors are less vivid.

If I have the story straight, a company called PPG developed Trivex around the turn of the millennium, to be used as a form of transparent armor. This Trivex was for helicopter windshields and fighter jet canopies, and so on. Its characteristics are high impact resistance, optical clarity and light weight.

It seems that after its success in such applications, PPG adapted Trivex for the optical lens market, with an eye to be premium lens material for eyeglasses.

At the last match, I wore my Trivex safety glasses the entire time and the image from the riflescope was just as if I didn’t have them on at all. I ordered a pair of Trivex glasses with my prescription, and I have been wearing them since they arrived. It’s as if they were not there. The colors are fine, and they weigh next to nothing.

As stated earlier, Zenni.com is where got my Trivex safety glasses and my Trivex prescription eyeglasses. It's a little tricky when you order the glasses, but you must remember to specify the premium lens material and be sure it says 1.53 index or 1.53 Blockz. There are other numbers, but the Trivex is 1.53.

There are other places that have Trivex, such as RX Safety and others. I have only purchased from Zenni and I am very pleased with the results. The Trivex safety glasses with plastic frame were $60. The Trivex prescription glasses with titanium frame were $120.

I kind of wanted to eventually build an 18" SCAR-PR in 6.5CM. Ehh, I'll see what things are like further down the road.

Boston media faggots... used rally footage from 2017 claiming this was the "No Kings" rally.

The actual No Kings Rally was a few hundred geriatrics who went home after their 2 hour 'Paycheck' expired and the media left.

The Boston Media was so devastated at how lame it was, that they used almost-10-year-old footage and faked the rally images.

Bah h hah ahah ahah ....

Their broadcast license should be revoked. FCC... they are pushing fake propaganda. Their license was granted on the basis of providing news and education for the public good. You are lying commies. So your license should get revoked. And I'll go one better... your NETWORK should have all its licenses revoked. For allowing this.

Let the Airtime go dark for commie pieces of shit!

When discussing prices, I would also keep in mind that the aggregate inflation in the last five years is at around 30%. Between that and the tariffs, manufacturers absorbed some of that and passed some to the consumer. Either way, seeing discounts quite that deep on imported products is not particularly likely.
That gives an opening for companies like Burris/Steiner and Leupold to capture quite a bit of market share since they add a lot more value in their US assembly plants.
Whether they will or not is an open question, but the opportunity is there.
