An acquaintance told me many stories about his plans to retire as a lineman and live in Thailand.

Around 1990, he purchased a home in Thailand and had two girls who lived in the house.

He would go to Thailand 3-4 times a year to drink, PT and F like a madman.

When in country, he stayed in the master bedroom and they cooked/ cleaned etc.

When he was not their they simply lived rent free and maintained the home and paid utilities.

Evidently a non Thai citizen cannot own land so some are able to lease land for 99 years or they can own 49% of a home.

Evidently as a 49% owner, they can simply vote you out and sell the home to themselves or for cash.



I have another friend in the middle of divorce who want to be a digital nomad, leave the US and live in Thailand while still working their IT job.

At face value it seems perfect.
Thai developers built too many condos so you can rent a nice 3 bedroom condo for $300-$400 while making your US income.



Evidently Thailand has a culture in Thailand of fleecing retirees....


I figured I'd post this video and see if any of you have any first hand knowledge of friends / family retiring in Thailand.

Ultradyne UD5 5 slot chassis with spigot extension like new. Comes with an MDT premier vertical grip and MDT Carbine composite buttstock. 700 short action inlet. Insanely lightweight setup and makes for an awesome short handy setup for a hog rifle. Barrels action and scope not included. $450 for the whole deal shipped to your door. Thank you. Spigot is not included in photos but I can send one on request if you’d like to see what it looks like.

These came up on my YT feed. Totally A,I,, but extremely cute and funny. Apparently, a pair of toddlers driving/riding in a car (of all things) are arguing (like adults and in adult voices) about stuff and one or the other just doesn't get the question right, and the two argue about it a bit.. Total fun and cuteness! The author's YT channel Page: https://www.youtube.com/@juns-w777z/shorts

So... got an 18" 6 ARC barrel with a rifle gas system, and type II bolt a while back, and finally got around to shooting it not too long ago. It's a new cartridge for me, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been using the L.E. Wilson case gauges, along with their case gauge depth micrometer in other cartridges with great results... so I was a little shocked when I dropped a fired case in the gauge and it visibly stood proud of the top Ran the depth mic down, and it showed it at +11 over '0'. Plunking an unfired factory round in there showed as -3 or so. That range seems... excessive, to me.

Like most comparators, that thing is still a 'relative' measurement. I dug out the appropriate shoulder angle insert for my Sinclair headspace comparators, mounted them on the Mitutoyo calipers, and zeroed things out. Loaded round measured 1.128", fired cases measured 1.141" or so. Yikes.

Coughed up the $$$ for a set of go, no-go and *field* gauges in 6 ARC. When they finally arrived, I got the following measurements:

Loaded round: 1.128"
Go gauge: 1.130"
No-go gauge: 1.134"
Field gauges: 1.138"
Fired brass: 1.141"

Then, I went and pulled the upper apart, popped out the ejector pin from the bolt, cleaned the bolt and chamber (never seen that much brass buildup in *either* the bolt or the chamber of my .223 ARs), and found that the bolt would rotate closed on the go gauge (as it should)... but it also closed on the no-go gauge, and damn near closed on the field gauge.

I double checked the depth of the bolt face; it is a type 2 (0.136" deep) bolt.

I'm guessing this isn't supposed to be the 'normal' amount of shoulder stretch on firing factory ammo in a 6 ARC barrel?

Any ideas what might be the likely culprit here? Chamber set up for a type 1 bolt (0.125" deep) instead of a type 2? Seems like that would almost account for the difference I'm seeing here. Or more likely the chamber is just f$cked up, some other way?

The fired brass coming out measuring longer than the chamber is another one that had me going 'WTF?!?' Someone else suggested that it might point towards a gas system issue, with the bolt trying to unlock before the pressure has dropped enough for the case shoulder to release from the chamber walls.

Maybe fixing to get a big wave on West Coast .

BLUF: Does anyone run Hellfires on lightweight gas guns? I see them all the time on heavy bolt guns. I'm trying to figure out if my use case is appropriate.

I've just picked up my first suppressor (B&T Print-XH) and so I need to switch my muzzle devices over to something compatible and have to pick a brake. I mostly compete in Run N Gun matches where length and weight are critical. I'm a high performer and frequently place on the podium, so I spend more time than some folks optimizing gear.

I expect to run about 80% unsuppressed so my primary criteria is brake performance, not as a suppressor host. Cans are heavy & hot and both of those are disadvantages in a RnG match when you have to run 5-10 miles with the risk of burning your leg carrying a slung rifle with a blazing hot can after a 45 round stage. However, I still want to be able to attach a suppressor on occasion for night matches, etc. I need to outfit 5 rifles. I was originally gonna go with Rearden SPB muzzle brakes and a Wolfpack Low Profile HUB Adapter (lightweight, minimum OAL) and call it a day, but the Hellfire system has caught my eye.

Performance: Hellfire wins, but only slightly
I believe that the Hellfire will stabilize the muzzle better under recoil with less dot movement and allow faster follow up shots. (Based on my experience having shot a 5.56 with SPB and a 6ARC with 3 Port hellfire on them and the 6arc was smoother). On the other hand, the extra weight hanging off the muzzle will absolutely slow down the swing on transitions. Those of you who don't compete may scoff at this, but stages are won and lost by tenths of a second, so these small factors do matter.

Resilience/Durability: I think it's a tie
Any plan B muzzle device has exposed threads that can be damaged and RnG matches are brutal on gear. Whereas there are no exposed threads on Hellfire. But with a Hellfire system and suppressor, there's no sacrificial baffle to protect the can to take some of the abuse to the can with a short barrel (which is where the majority of my usage will be). So I think these factors balance out.

Price: Hellfire wins
The difference here isn't enough to sway me 1 way or the other, so it's a moot point, but just to be thorough.... It would be $300 for Hellfire (I would buy a 2 Port Hellfire + 4x universal adapters). It would be $400 for Plan B (5x Rearden SPB). I only plan on buying 1 Hellfire brake, at least to start, since it's so easy to swap the brake from rifle to rifle - basically QD.

Length and Weight: Plan B wins
The Hellfire 2 port brake is 2.5x heavier (4.1 oz compared to 1.7 oz) and 0.6" longer than an SPB.

Thoughts?

So I've seen AEM5/OCM5 can on bolt actions and I've seen the taper and threads cut into the barrel so that no muzzle device was needed. Does anyone have the measurements and thread pitch needed to cut the mount directly into the profile of the barrel?

Standard diving board. Mounted but nothing mounted to it. I switched to the low. Basically in brand new condition in the box. $75 shipped

$200 for everything seen here except the Tikka sticker.

This shit has potential to get really entertaining.

Short version is the Tea app is a women’s gossip app. They apparently either have to upload a pic of themselves or of their drivers license. The owners of the app had non existent cybersecurity. So ALL of the data & gossip messages are now out in the open.



And no, it’s not a “ dating safety app” it’s a gossip app.

Good rundown on the implications

With spring and summer here… been a rash of people dumping off unwanted litters around the area. Kittens and puppies both.

Not bothering to take them to the shelter (paperwork and fees? Don’t know if shelter charges for surrenders of litters??) and leaving them in a parking lot or by the road?? That is lower than whale shit.

On the bright side…. This little guy adopted me on Tuesday. After a bath, a couple of days of quarantine away from the other cats and a vet check… he thinks he rules the house.

Meet General “Blackjack” Pershing. He has been stuck to me like glue and eating like a cavalry horse! He loves belly rubs!!



So far Boudicca is afraid of him. General Sherman is not happy. And Pouncy the old man who has been through this before… seems to be accepting him fine. Couple of weeks, they will all be sleeping in a pile together…

Baby kittens are so cute!!!
