Man attempts to burn down PA Governor’s Mansion

Surprised no one’s posted anything about this one yet. A guy broke into the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion with a Molotov he made out of lawnmower gas and Heineken bottles he found on the property and tried to burn the place down with the governor and his family inside.

Supposedly he was also carrying a hammer and was going to beat him if he found him.

Another dead horse, AR tuning.

I know, its been talked to death. But I am still curious.

I have a AR build with a lot of Mk12 flavour, with 18" barrel, rifle lenght gas and an AEM5 suppressor.
So far I have used a standard carbin spring and a H2 buffer.

But last week I got myself a Schmeisser multi wire buffer spring, which is a bit like the Geissele mg42 but with 2 strands of wire and compatible with regular mil-spec type buffers. The multi wire spring is a bit stiffer than the carbin spring. Some say that a stiffer spring with a light buffer is better for function. Others seems to prefer to add weight with a heavier than normal buffer. I did some testing the other day at the range.

I tried the multi wire wring with a carbin buffer, recoil was light but also snappy, at least that is how I would describe it. Ejection pattern was at 14-14:30.

Then I switched over to the H2 buffer and multi wire spring, a bit more recoil was felt but it also felt more controlled, more of a push. Ejection pattern was at 15:00.

What would you run?
I have thought about getting a H3 buffer but I am not sure it is worth the money.
I am not switching to an adjustable gas block.

Springfield 2020 .22LR

Couldn’t really resist the purchase after examining one. Very few tool marks, and the only polymer part is the bolt shroud, magazine body/rotor, and stock. The Picatinny rail is alloy, apparently with no tilt. The receiver is tubular, with the rear receiver ring the same size as the front so I don’t know right offhand if an existing scope rail will be compatible. Not a Rem.700 footprint, but does have a hanger for 700 clone triggers.
Ruger brand mags fit like a glove, but I haven’t tried feeding live rounds yet. Overall the build quality is definitely there, I just hope the barrel God’s have smiled on me and this example actually groups well. All factory goo has been removed, I’ve greased, oiled, and adjusted, so I’m just waiting to test. I’ve slapped a 1” tube 8-32x44 scope for break-in.

Double Standard

Daniel Penny was attacked by a lunatic on a subway and defended himself and saved others in the process. His actions resulted in the death of the suspect. The media was painting him as a vigilante.


Karmelo Anthony was sitting in the team tent of the opposing team in Frisco and one of the players, Austin Metcalf told him he was in the wrong tent. So, Karmelo puts his hand in the bag he was carrying and says "put hands on me and find out what happens."

Austin touched him and then grabbed a bit more firmly to move him out of the tent. Karmelo pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin in the heart. He died there, in the stands, in his twin brother's arms.

Today, his bail was reduced to $250K and people were happy about that.

To cap it off, Daniel Penny, who is white, gets labeled a vigilante from protecting himself with his bare hands (arms, actually) from a crazed black attacker.

Karmelo brings a knife to an athletic event and purposely seeks out the team tent of the opposing team and decides to sit there and not move when asked to leave. Karmelo is black and stabs Austin, who is white, and kills him.

Admits it to police, too.

And people are happy that he is released.

55’s not fully cycling in 223 Wylde 18”

My boys wanted me to start loading some bulk 223/5.56 rounds so they can do more shooting with their AR’s.

I put together several loads and tested them at the range yesterday. All functioned fine except the hornady 55 FMJ’s. While they actually gave one of the best groups of the day, they failed to cycle properly. Most would eject and reset trigger but failed to strip next round. This happened with multiple mags. Several would try to strip next round but road over the rim of the case and cartridge was bound up between bolt and chamber. I’m not sure why, as the velocity average was 2905 fps from my 18” 1/7 twist BA 223 Wylde barrel mid length gas, standard gas block and carbine spring/buffer. Any thoughts what the issue might be. All the others functioned fine.

Here are the loads:

Hornady 55 grain FMJ
R-P cases
CCI 41 primers
OAL- 2.204”
Lee Factory crimp in canalure.
TAC 24.5
V= 2905 FPS

SS-109 62 grain FMJ (pulls)
IVI 85 NATO cases
CCI 41 primers
OAL- 2.243”
Lee Factory crimp in canalure.
TAC 24.5
V= 2849 FPS

SMK 77 grain HPBT
R-P cases
CCI 41 primers
OAL- 2.26”
Lee Factory crimp
TAC 22.5
V= 2472 FPS
TAC 22.8
V= 2510
TAC 23.0
V= 2527
TAC 23.2
V= 2560

Barrett m99 real word opinions

Hello like the title says I anm eyeing a m99 in .50 and was curious if they are worth a crap or not. I hear mixed reviews that they are not accurate and they are accurate. I am thinking of one for fun, slamming metal targets at 2k yards maybe a random hunt for bear if I feel like doing something stupid. I would like it to hold about a 1-1.5 moa ish group out to distance with factory loads such as the Hornady a-tips.

Does anyone have any pictures or accuracy reviews of a m99?
Thanks !
