    Maggie’s stuff I have been making to pass the time.

    Excellent work. Are you using a jack in the 20 ton range to get that and, if you dont mind my asking, where did you get a die set like that (or did you make it?) The engraving on the steel gives it a good look and I really like what you did with the rowels. Thats some good OK/TX style...

    Nice work John. How did you dome the USMC buckle? And what thickness is it? The wheat stalk engraving on your work is very nice. Congrats.

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    With due respect I am going to disagree with you. Based on this thread, conversations with retailers and watching other releases I imagine what happened is that Steiner went to the user community to get feedback to deliver something materially different. As part of that product research phase...

    Huntsman is a waste of skin, an oxygen thief and a killer.

    Agreed. Some dill weed that kills a complete innocent has stolen time from that person. Its time that person will never be able to use as they choose. Is that materially different than what Madoff did? He stole money that someone had to work to get. They had to give up part of their life to earn...

    Sounds like a girlfriend I once had. She didn't know, didn't care and thats why she had Cooties. Kidding aside, thanks for the update.

    Huntsman is a waste of skin, an oxygen thief and a killer.

    No. Most that were burned on private land were, however, adjacent or very close to public land. While I agree with TommyAtkins there are fire roads there. The ones I have seen are frequently in such disrepair that they are not usable in an emergency. Paw.....CA and the Feds are culpable with...

    Huntsman is a waste of skin, an oxygen thief and a killer.

    Cal Fire requires all home owners to have defensible space or face significant fines but I dont see the same dedication on federal lands in CA. I did pose that question to a fire marshall inspecting our defensible space and her comment was that federal land was outside Cal fires control and...

    Huntsman is a waste of skin, an oxygen thief and a killer.

    The El Dorado DA has been short on details and the Sheriff has not been any more verbose about it either. The standard details appear to available and this is what I have been able to capture from general communications and reporting. Most resources have been mum about the details and most media...

    Huntsman is a waste of skin, an oxygen thief and a killer.

    The caveat that all are innocent until proven guilty.... Given that, if Huntsman is found guilty I can think of a number of ways to serve justice on him. With over 125 square miles of forest and homes burned, only minimal containment, the death of a firefighter, untold loss of wildlife...

    Opinions on Black Hills .308 vs FGMM? 5R Milspec

    Red Jacket. . .

    A work collegue's 19 year old daughter stopped calling him and would never return his calls. Then the police showed up. Then they went through is work email. Turns out his daughter turned him in for molestation. This guy had taken care of his daughter after his wife left him, worked hard to pay...

    Can a .223 do that?

    Didnt think about that earlier but living in CA I can see how that is the case.

    Can a .223 do that?

    Based on the dust being kicked up I think he was missing it altogether. I did ask why the mini was standard issue and both of the guys said they thought the state procurement had a lot to do with it. Someone not wanting to spend money to arm leos, someone being lazy, someone getting a kickback...

    Can a .223 do that?

    Given that this is more of a volunteer, low budget range I am pretty confident that its mild steel. I did not look at the ammo they were shooting but it looked like a couple of boxes of Federal Eagle 55grn fmj. Never having tried it I guess I was thinking that 223 would struggle to get...

    Can a .223 do that?

    Folks, I was at a range moving a steel target at 200yrds and a couple of leo's, getting ready to qual on rifle, were practicing. One guy kept insisting his rounds were on target with his issued mini 14 and, as proof, he was pointing to a hole clean through the 1/2 inch steel. Based on the dust...

    New shooter needs some help from a bench

    BlueSteel, those are great questions. At some point I think having others look at what is happening when you actually shoot will help. I might recommend looking at theNCAL precisions website NCPPRC: News and see when they have open Saturdays. I think they always shoot out of the Sac Valley...
