Which rifle for DMR class
With me, I need to be very deep into the selection of the critical core components of the build, otherwise I won’t trust the gun to work, no matter what chambering it’s in. So I sift through parts and select what I think are the best for my needs, process them with pre-fitment mods, then...- LRRPF52

Surefire ICAR
I was loading some test rounds in the modified 20rd Six8 PMAG from LWRCi and it just exploded from spring tension breaking their glued-together base plate flange. They take a 30rd Six8 PMAG and cut it off to fit 20 rounds of 6.8 SPC, cut off the flange from the base, then glue it to the new...- LRRPF52

Which rifle for DMR class
On Thursday, I took 2 of my sons out to shoot LR with the Grendels and .260 Rem. It’s like night and day going from the AR-10 down to a little Grendel. With Grendel, you just watch the bullet hit the steel with no loss of sight picture. With my 17.6” Lilja Grendel, I was picking and choosing...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
India and Pakistan had a little air battle back in Feb 2019. Resulted in multiple BVR Missile exchanges, bombings, and at least one Indian MiG-21 Bison shot down. Pakistan lied about not using F-16s, because they weren’t allowed to station them close to the border by US FMS sales conditions...- LRRPF52

India vs Pakistan
Pakistan was part of the Baghdad Pact on 1955, so the bumbling State Dept weenies sided with Pakistan instead of India, who was not part of Baghdad Pact. India saw it as a threat to them, and leaned towards the Soviets for weapons sales. It was one of the biggest foreign policy failures of the...- LRRPF52

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread
So I was wondering how crime rate statistics are manifesting based on all the dramatic changes with the Trump WH leadership in law and order. I didn’t see this in any headline or social media, just researched it myself: The crime rate in the U.S. saw significant reductions from Q1 2024 to Q1...- LRRPF52

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread
There are precious few people who are aware of how the aerospace industry works, both in the commercial and defense sectors. Demand is extremely high due to how hard it is to actually produce aircraft that are safe, reliable, and durable that deliver performance customers are looking for...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
As much as people think going full isolationist is an easy button, it never proves to be so. It only emboldens adventurists to continue their march through countries on their periphery, which was Putin’s plan all along. A lot of places would fall knowing they don’t have a mutual pact. That’s...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
Yes, prior to 2022 and slow-rolled any FMS afterwards. Most of the advanced weapons sent to Ukraine in mid-2022 were US FMS to NATO partners in Europe long ago (HIMARS, M777, smaller munitions, etc.). Biden as working with Putin prior to the invasion. His job was to extract Zelesnky so Putin...- LRRPF52

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread
Not sure what State you’re in but gas prices for us have dropped to under $3.00/gal. It’s noticeably cheaper than last year. El Salvadoran and Venezuelan gang activity really died down too. We had Venezuelan gang violence break out in a really quiet part of Utah last year. I imagine the...- LRRPF52

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread
1. Got rid of Panama’s secret Belt and Road Initiative pact with China. That is huge. 2. Reset the military with solid leadership focused entirely on lethality and survivability. 3. Pro-US energy policy 4. Reset trade relationships 5. Secured the US border 6. Laken Riley Act. 7. Deporting...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
It’s not profitable sending “expired” munitions for major defense contractors. The last time they handled most of those muntions was either at time of manufacture 20-30 years ago, or during upgrades for the services. For MIC, those are sunk costs realized decades ago. I don’t understand why...- LRRPF52

Ukraine war Bullshit.
If you find yourself associating me with progressives, you really don’t know anything about my perspective. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more anti-progressive person than I. I’m sure a lot of us feel that way, but I narrowed-in on the Progressive Era BS decades ago, well-before the...- LRRPF52

Which rifle for DMR class
I’ve been doing these kinds of courses since 1996, so my ideas and experience with them has evolved along the way. I always bring back-up carbines or rifles to courses in case anyone’s stuff breaks or isn’t set-up right. I’ve noticed a trend where dudes really got that message long ago, so...- LRRPF52

As a kid in the 50's & early 60's you could believe most people & the news, be it
It was all BS back then too for the most part. Any media was being used for advertising in the US since the 1800s. Mark Twain already said all you really need to know about “the news”. “He who doesn’t read the newspaper is uninformed. He who reads the newspaper is misinformed." In the US...- LRRPF52

Poor innocent Russia. Just navigating their way along in this brutal world, until Victoria Nuland crushed their lives..... This stuff is not printworthy guys. Think about it.

Ukraine war Bullshit.
John Mearscheimer is part of the blame-US crowd, so that book does not actually cover the real causal factors of the war. It’s more Ivy League Marxist BS from guys who think they understand Russia, who were Clinton WH “experts” on Russia when Clinton and Yeltsin did their deals. Part of the...- LRRPF52

For those who are concerned with 2A issues like I am, I haven’t seen a WH come out swinging this hard for making DOJ adopt the natural policies that they aren’t to infringe on law-abiding citizens. They also shut down the ATF’s hostile posture against “zero tolerance” policies on FFLs for...- LRRPF52
