It’s like Alcatraz but With Gators, Snakes and Rednecks


No point in trying to reopen San Francisco’s Alcatraz… when you can do better.

Airfield deep in the Everglades, surrounded by swamps full of gators and pythons and water moccasins and, well, rednecks who think “You got a nice mouth, Jose…” will be a deportation processing facility.

DHS has approved. So now, Pedro, you get to await your due process in a tent. In the Everglades. And if you try and get off the island… well, good luck with that!

Bet after a few days, folks are begging to hurry up that due process and get them back to El Salvador!!

Need one out near Ft Huachuca, too. Scorpions, rattlers and 115 in the shade for miles in every direction is also motivational.

What did one gator say to the other gator? Not bad for Mexican food!!

Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

I have a fair bit of experience shooting suppressed, but until recently, I've never felt compelled to own a suppressor. I've always thought that shooting suppressed was more of a pain in the butt than it was worth.

I have, however, reached the point where I'm thinking that it doesn't make sense not to invest in a few. In any case, I have a couple of them coming. The big question that I have bouncing around in my head now is the attachment method.

It was my intention to just go direct thread, but the YHM srx system seems pretty cool. In my research, I've run across comments made by reviewers wherein they noted that the choice of mounting system can affect the sound of the report to the extent that it can make the difference between the report being painful to the ear and not.

Have any of you experienced this?

Precision Rifle Gear Chad vs Botnia

Looking for any experience of a Chad tuner brake vs a Botnia Maxi. We are in the process of building a PRS rifle for Tactical class in 308 win for my son, so wanting to get the absolute most effective muzzle brake that we can find. The choice seems to be between the Chad and the Botnia, but I cant find much that compares the two. I watched the X-Ring Youtube video, and his conclusion was that they were very similar, but I would be interested to hear the experience of anyone else that has been able to compare the two.

Movie Theater Foundation Season 3 off to a good start…

Call me a geek, but I always enjoyed Isaac Asimov’s work, and reveled in this book series when I was growing up. Was very excited when Apple TV announced the adaptation onto film, but was extremely underwhelmed with season one. And while season two was more interesting, it was all over the place for production values and more disappointing for me, the plot lines simply got lost, or muddled at best.

Season 3, episode one just dropped though, and I’m more excited than ever! I thought it was really well done, and can’t stand that I have to wait a week for the next episode. LoL

Hope it stays on this course…finger’s crossed!

700 PSS??

Haven’t made my mind up on keeping or selling this rifle. Just trying to get some additional information. This, to my knowledge is a 700 PSS from 1996. It has D prefix serial number. The thing throwing me off is the detachable mag. I’ve seen several pictures of others, said to be PSS, but all of them had standard plates on the bottom. Some of the ones I’ve seen are older posts on here. Was this detachable mag an option or what? Any info is appreciated. I might add this rifle has seen very little use based on its condition. Thanks.

Suppressors Suppressor transfers in the no tax stamp era

Before buying suppressors, I set up a gun trust but I never used it. When Form 4 Individual applications were being turned around in less than 48 hours, that is the path I took. My rationale was that it is only me, myself, and I using them. I have them bequeathed in my will with Form 5 no-tax transfers pre-filled for the beneficiaries.

Once the fee is gone, I may transfer them from my as an individual to my trust. (I refuse to pay the gubbermint twice.) I assume it will be a Form 4 transfer. I wouldn't care how long it takes to process because I already have them. It may be irrelevant if GOA succeeds with its suit. Since it is still an NFA item, the trust just makes it a little easier to share with friends and family if I ever get less selfish. ;-)

Is anyone else thinking about this? Is it worth even bothering?
