    Is this nessesary?

    You're thinking about this upside down. It is the "authorities" who are living in constant fear, blown way out of proportion to the actual threat, causing legitimate concerns. If a normal guy is a bit paranoid based on some suspect evidence, he gets labelled a crazy. If a LEO is a bit paranoid...

    Stupid Rem 700 accuracy question

    I'm also slightly concerned about the crimp, but more from inexperience than anything. I don't think many guys do this here and it may be completely unnecessary and introducing another variable into your load development. I've had two factory 700's and both shot to 1/2 MOA w/ my handloads...

    Crush Washer Thickness?

    I have one of those and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but torqueing on a barrel in an upper receiver block is a bad idea as the aluminum is a lot softer than the steel barrel and you can easily ruin an upper. Good price though.

    Crush Washer Thickness?

    No barrel vise, but I do have some scrap wood in the garage that I could probably adapt easily. Looked up that accu-washer system, $25 is pretty steep. It's actually, like 1/16-1/8 past TDC, so even if I take some off, it will probably still have some room to crush at least a 1/4 turn.

    Down goes Mosul.

    It's walking a fine line that's for sure, but I'm operating under the hypothesis that the main reason for the invasions was concern over the profileration of WMDs, not specifically Iraqi WMDs and that incompetence/shortsightedness is more likely to explain the events than conspiracy which I...

    Shoot. Move. Communicate??

    I'm interested in this too. Also, is it true that transmitting encrypted data is illegal?

    Down goes Mosul.

    This would be like nuking Chicago to get rid of the gang bangers, but in the process you also end up killing a ton of innocents, and then have to deal with fallout blowing over other areas. The only solution in my point of view is to go back in with world support. Given Russia just jumped in...

    Shoot. Move. Communicate??

    I was looking at the website for the Hamvention they do in Dayton every year. It looked like DHS was offering training for licensed guys in setting up and maintaining a back up comms link if something really serious happened. I thought it sounded pretty neat. I wish I had some more time to...

    Crush Washer Thickness?

    I'm not happy about having to torque on the barrel like that, so I'll pick up a stone and take it down a bit. Thanks guys.

    Crush Washer Thickness?

    I decided to try a brake on my AR but the crush washer that came with it doesn't look like it is going to work. It's a 3 port brake and when I tighten it down until where the brake contacts the washer, it's about a 1/4 turn past where it needs to be. I played with it and it doesn't look like any...

    Robbery @ Boost Mobile

    I had a drunk walk into my apartment last Summer and slam the door. It was the middle of the afternoon and I live in a safe neighborhood but it scared the shit out of me. I knocked him out, but I didn't want to go leave him to find my cell phone which I thought was upstairs. It was right next to...

    Down goes Mosul.

    This would make it difficult to profit off infrastructure building, the privatization of state resources, and IMF/World Bank loans.

    Savage LRP short chamber???

    I witnessed a similar problem with a new Savage Sunday at the range. The gentleman who owned the rifle was having a hard time closing the bolt and factory FGMM was getting jammed into the rifling and he ended up getting one stuck in the rifling and forcing the bolt open left the bullet in the...

    30-06 Bolt Gun: How much neck tension for best accuracy?

    This is what I've been using w/ the Lapua brass and the .335 bushing. Either way, once I have a load that is shooting to the limits of my abilities, I stop screwing with it and start loading them up.
