    Red Jacket. . .

    I haven't followed this but I'm pretty sure his other daughter, the one on the show, was just on Dr Phil going public with her abuse.

    Can a .223 do that?

    A lot of departments go with the mini 14 over ARs due to people's perception of the AR as an 'assault' weapon over the more traditional look of the mini 14.

    AR Comp 77SMK HPBT

    I have some of this powder and have been too busy loading for other guns to try it. I'll load some with 77 smks and see what happens.

    Maggie’s 9+6=15 Common Core. Are you fucking kidding me?

    Not wanting to get into the problems with standardized education, or the effectiveness of common core, these kids are gaining an intuitive understanding of more abstract concepts of general base number systems and exponents. They just haven't put the mathematical language to it yet. I think I...

    Maggie’s 9+6=15 Common Core. Are you fucking kidding me?

    No offense Maggot, but this is Dunning Kruger at work. Ask any undergraduate computer engineering student who has had to build a decimal calculator with binary circuits. Base 2 and Base 10 conversions come in handy. The sooner kids are introduced to more complex ways of thinking and their...

    Ebola In Nebraska.

    I'm glad they are bringing them back here and practicing now. It wouldn't be too difficult for the Jihadists infecting Africa to knowingly infect someone, them put them right on a plane. I hope TBTB have a solid plan for that contingency.

    Memo to Merkel on Ukraine - Worth the Read

    I watched this the other day. I find it a bit surprising that some of the views here match his assessment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cikvqdMRTTA

    Who Knows About Solenoids? Reactive Targets.

    Thanks for the replies. It's going to be a pull type activating a hook on a lever. I found some universal door unlocker solenoids for cheap which should be more than powerful enough. Also, 12v lead acid batteries, like on a RC car, are the ticket. They are cheaper than house batteries, provide...

    rem 700 AAC acurracy

    I had a 20" one in .308 and it shot fine. I still have a stock 16.5" one in .223 and it is about 1/2 moa w/ handloads. This is my pontificating, but I think the the probability you will get a bad one tends to be overestimated, as a lot of new bolt gun shooters purchase these before they have...

    Kennedy conspiracy # (meaning number, not hashtag) 213128953948.

    I watched that one too. The interesting piece was they provided documentation that most of JFKs secret service agents were out boozing until 5am, a couple hours until duty began. The rookie, who was supposed to be driving stayed in, and had to take over gunner duties with the AR. They said he...

    Kennedy conspiracy # (meaning number, not hashtag) 213128953948.

    This has been looked into. The rifle was a surplus 6.5 carcano. They have even reenacted the original shot. It was a mover moving away from the shooter. If you YouTube it, you can probably find the reenactment.

    Who Knows About Solenoids? Reactive Targets.

    My gunsmith/buddy has some property and wanted to set up some reactive targets in the woods. The idea is as you walk through, you trigger motion sensors or laser sensors, and it releases the targets. I have the sensor system built and we are just using a remote for now. The targets were...

    It's a good thing I didn't go to law school. I don't know if I would have survived.

    Smacking the hornets nest!

    So, by having a firearm and threatening to die before he gives it up which would require a fight and likely violence he is a terrorist?

    Smacking the hornets nest!

    I see your point. You can call them terrorists all you want. As Pawprint pointed out, when the guy's with teeth start calling them terrorists my ears will perk up. Although, they are probably still backed up with the Bundy investigations and Ferguson.

    I'm just about done with gun shops

    There's a shop by me where the guy open carries a high point .45 and the rest stand around nod in agreement that the Judge is the best home defense gun ever made. FGMM 168gr is $45+/box and I took my girlfriend in there one day and got the stink eye from the woman manager that thought I wasn't...
