Presidential Medal of Freedom

While it was absurd when Ellen DeGeneres got one from Obama, when PedoPeter got one from Obama, when Liz Cheney got one from Pedopete, pale in comparison to the more recent medal of freedom recipients: treasonous HRC and terrorist George Soros!

NYPD New Year's Rifle

On New Year's Eve, a friend of mine sent me some photos and video his son had shot. His son works in Manhattan, and he photographed a cop (hopefully) with a big ol' sniper rifle.

My understanding is that this thing is a Sako which costs about $12,000 before glass. That's the price for people who actually pay for it, although these guns were provided to the NYPD in a high-profile transaction, so maybe they got a deal.

My question: if Chris Kyle got by with a $6,500 rifle, why did the NYPD need this Sako?

I checked Sako's website, and it looks like it's full of sales BS, but I am no sniper.

They say this thing can be worked on by the user. Well, I work on my guns just fine, and I am incapable of real gunsmithing. And police departments have unions that would never go for taking work away from full-time armorers.

They say you can swap the barrel for different jobs. If you can afford a $12,000 gun, can't you afford more guns and leave the barrels where they are? Maybe I'm ignorant, but what professional sniper wants to swap barrels after he gets his gun just right? It makes no sense to me. How would you keep your zero? And if you have to swap barrels before leaving the station, doesn't it mean you're an incompetent who has no idea what the mission is? Shouldn't you have all that stuff figured out before the call comes?

The whole thing mystifies me. You can walk into Bass Pro and buy a reliable 0.75-MOA rifle whenever you want, so what is the purpose of this thing? No cop needs more accuracy than that.

Okay, tell me why I'm wrong. I just put my flameproof socks on.

Extraordinarily rare GL/SSC clone build is finally complete!

I just acquired the final piece for my GL/SSC build, an actual Colt M203 40mm grenade launcher! This is a factory original Colt M203 40mm, not a converted 37mm. The Daniel Defense GL/SSC handguard is also original, it's not a cut down M4A1 rail. There's a ridiculous number of rare parts being used on this build, such as the Eotech GL40 sight, unique tanodized KAC BUIS set, and the engraved patent pending PRI Gasbuster charging handle. I love this build and I'm happy to have finally finished it, for now. In the future I might add a transferable lower, but for now this is the configuration that it's staying in. It's a heavy rifle, but it's worth it to have something different than every other clone out there:

M203 and lower receiver markings, the lower was made by Intl.Mil.Co. before they got the cease and desist for using the H&R rollmark:

Here's the rifle without the M203:

Right now I have a CAG used Vortex scope mounted in a Geissele 2099 aluminum/lithium scope mount, but I'm thinking about switching over to the Eotech/Wilcox set that you can see in the photo below. Should I keep the LPVO or switch over to the red dot for this GL/SSC build?

For sale: Brand new, unfired Elite Sand Accuracy International AXSR in 7 PRC.

I’m moving this incredible piece because I don't even have the time to shoot my AT-XC. I bought it from Mile High this past fall, and it's been sitting unused since then.

This rifle features a premium Proof steel 26" barrel with a 1:8 twist, threaded 5/8x24, plus a self-timing Tuebor 30 cal titanium brake.

It comes complete with the factory box and manuals. Please note that the bipod is not included in this sale.

I’m open to considering a partial trade for an Impact short action with a .308 bolt face and a 75-degree throw. I would also entertain an Atlas or Infinty pistol in 9 or 40. Don’t miss out on adding this top-tier rifle to your collection!
