    Climate Change

    We had the "mini" ice age in the late 1800's if my memory is correct. Must have been coal fires that caused that to happen. Or maybe all the black powder from firearms.

    Climate Change

    If you just look at the history of this planet there have been several insane changes and life ending events created by itself outside of a meteor strike. Thinking that humans alone are causing the change is very narcissistic. Volcanos emit more crap into the atmosphere than we do. Launching...

    Climate Change

    I thought CO2 was heavier and denser that O2 and other gases in the atmosphere. That is part of the reason why the plant life uses it because it tends to stay lower in the atmosphere and closer to the ground. I don't have an MIT education but I know how to read.

    Vehicle hail damage question

    Years ago while I was still a tech, the owner of the dealership had purchased a Pantera and had it shipped from Florida to CA. It was recently restored and had fresh paint. Dumbass didn't pay for covered transport and had it sent on a flatbed. It went through a hail storm and not a single panel...

    EPA deregulation

    When I went to auto and diesel school I remember learning diesel was already actually cleaner than gas, but the "soot" was the issue. In most cases a simple air filter replacement would eliminate all of the soot from buses and semi trucks. Also soot falls to the earth and doesn't float around in...

    AR 15 reloading

    The 75 ELD-M are too long for magazine length. For Hornady you need to use the 73 ELDM or 75 HPBT to load to mag length. There are plenty of options for heavier loads in the 70-77 grain class. Check the reloading thread there is a post dedicated to just AR loads. Start there and read what others...

    Centurion Arms barrels

    I have not had an issue yet with any of their products (knock on wood). The email response time has always been very quick and friendly. Even when they first started out here in CA Monte or his wife were always quick to respond to questions or offer assistance when needed.

    Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

    We use Simple Green Crystal diluted with water at my work in the big Branson sonic cleaner. I have done brass and BCG with no issues along with other parts. I haven't had the need to do any heavy cleaning with those parts. It was more of an experiment and to save me a little time once in a...

    Magpul DT-PR Stock

    I just received one last week. For my example it locks up tight on a VLTOR A5 extension for front to back play, but still has a little bit of wiggle up and down. It's about the same as the BCM stocks I have. Not bad at all and should be a non issue for the rifle it will go on. It will be...

    Dangerous Ruling On Suppressors

    In the end neither side gives a shit. They use the issues to bring in money and get reelected. I feel we will never see any positive movement on things like suppressors, national CCW, etc.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Rifle +1. Its just a regular carbon Proof. It sped up some once I got around 75-100 rounds through it. They were jumping about .030". I need to check it again soon to see if it has changed any. This lot is from early last year or late 2022. I tossed the boxes and have them in my MTM cases now...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I get 2650-2680 with my 20" Proof and the factory 108. SD has been around 13.

    Surefire ICAR

    I asked but have not received an answer yet. The rifle is not on the website yet, so I think it's still a ways out for official release. They may not have final pricing determined yet. I'm sure it will not be cheap.

    Surefire ICAR

    Proprietary bolt and extension to "solve lug breakage issues". He also said they had zero magazine related issues going to the larger and dedicated mag. I think the rifle will still have a Proof barrel for production. Some other aftermarket parts but a majority is being made in house. Magpul...

    Shot Show 2025 Rumours

    Liberals nearly 600% more likely to have mental health issues than Conservatives.

    Seeing them throw temper tantrums like a 2 year old in public as "adults" tells you everything you need to know.

    Surefire ICAR

    I'm pretty sure its standard on the ICAR since they were using a Proof barrel on the test rifles. I'll see if I can find out. Unsure how quick I can get a response because of the show.

    The Pistols of Los Angeles' Top Cops

    My cop friends have seen multiple shitbags take a high dosage of 45 ACP and still function. Shot placement, bullet design and velocity are what matters. Most modern pistol rounds are about equal in reality. Pistol rounds are not good fight stoppers typically. Plenty of ballistic tests out there...

    Surefire ICAR

    I know FN developed that 6.5 x 43 using a similar concept for longer range and more energy. They developed new mags and such to go with it, but no idea what they did with the bolt or anything else besides an upsized receiver. I would think you need a in-between size bolt and carrier, or a...

    Surefire ICAR

    I am not sure. I assume they will. The rifle has been in the works for a while. They have some other projects in the pipeline but unsure if/when they will come out.
