    Good Night Rosie, You Will Be Missed

    My grandmother, also very small, was an inspector on P38s I think. She could fit behind the instrument panel to make sure the wiring was good. She has suffered from hearing loss due to her work in loud factories. I think everyone understands that the women who got it done were more important...

    The OFFICIAL 'Wuhan' Coronavirus outbreak information and tracking thread. NARRATIVE CHANGE. "Endemic, just like the cold". Cuomo regrets lockdown.

    So a cruise ship with 5,000 people on it came in to SF a few days ago. One guy got off, went home to Sacramento or something, was diagnosed with CV, died and then they traced him back to the ship and now it's in the middle of the ocean but turned around because they have 21 cases of CV on...

    I hope you can tolerate the smell of full Depends.

    Questions about the use of DMR/Sniper versions of the AR-10 vs M14, etc

    The AR10 was kind of a disaster in the M14 trials. Armalite decided to install experimental aluminum sleeved barrels on the trial guns. The barrels failed and the guns were otherwise suffering from some not quite ready details of it's brand new design. If the barrels would have been...

    Accuracy issue with DPMS .308

    I'm assuming this is a DPMS G2 rifle, not LR308. Is the barrel chrome lined? Does it have a free float handguard? If the barrel is chrome lined, that explains some of it, chrome lined barrels that shoot better than MOA are rare. If the handguard doesn't free float, the variable pressure on...

    Bloomberg is Out, Endorses Joe

    I celebrated Mini Mike's withdrawal by purchasing the biggest Big Gulp that 7-11 sells. Fuck that guy! I never want to see his ads again. Mike didn't do shit!

    Which AR10 caliber for hunting coyotes and wolves?

    At 6-700 yards, it sounds like you need velocity and a pretty high BC. I am not sure an AR15 chambering could get there fast enough. A .243 would probably work better than any AR15 chambering at that range. 6 Creedmoor, 6x47 Lapua and 6GT are similar choices but more aligned with high B.C...

    Biden Wants Beto to Take Your Guns

    How much dirt is Baydoh going to eat when he loses this time?

    Which AR10 caliber for hunting coyotes and wolves?

    What kind of bullet weight do you want? There is the 6x6.8 that you can fit in an AR15 and get 3,000+ fps with 70 grain bullets. A bit of a wildcat, just neck down 6.8 SPC to 6mm and reload. There are other 6mm AR15 chamberings that can do similar but 6x6.8 seems good for varmint weight...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    1.1 was kind of an intermediate version between 1.0 and 2.0 but it was offered for $795 or $800. All the updates that the 1.0 got and some of the 2.0 but not destined to be built more than to get rid of the left over updated 1.0 parts. I believe they are sold out now (I haven't checked)...

    AR Pistol Help

    A PWS buffer tube should be good. Some less expensive tubes are equally good. If you drill out your gas port, I would insert a cheapo aluminum cleaning rod when you drill so you don't accidentally put a divot opposite the gas port. A Criterion barrel should be drilled and dimpled properly so...

    AR Pistol Help

    Use a standard spring and a standard buffer. If that doesn't work with your gas block wide open, enlarge your gas port until it runs at least a few clicks less than wide open. Lube it and look at the buffer tube to see if carrier tilt is causing a problem. If your buffer tube is getting hit...

    SCOTUS Refuse to Hear Case on Bump Stock Ban

    It might not be 4d chess but you don't want someone playing if they think it's checkers. It's a real problem when you get people who think they know what they are doing but in reality they would fail at tic-tac-toe.

    SCOTUS Refuse to Hear Case on Bump Stock Ban

    There is nothing special about Virginia except it creates another jurisdiction to potentially launch civil rights litigation. That might be useful if the state of Virginia will not put up as vigorous a defense as NY, California or anywhere else with bad laws. It could be good if the appeals...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    The Archimedes has it's different primary extraction so the bolt lift only cocks the trigger instead of cocking the trigger and primary extraction. I think it is an advantage if you are going to reload and push pressures that might cause sticky bolts. Beside that, it has an integrated recoil...

    Budget AR-15 and AR-10 Barrel Options

    My 6.8 SPC II that shoots right around MOA out to 5-600 yards is an ARP. I have a couple more that I haven't been able to try out yet. They are good and a good value but not specifically a match quality barrel. If you ask them, they will tell you the same thing. Most of the time the results...

    Maggie’s Seattle ground Zero for Covid-19

    Shit, we are importing nurses from Asia all the time. If one infects a nursing home with lots of people who are fucking like crazy and compromised immune systems, that will end worse than the cruise ship in Japan.

    Aero Precision M5 Build Questions

    I agree, while 308 might have more choices, I don't think many would be "better" than their equivalent in 6.5 Creedmoor. Also, 6.5 Creedmoor is getting so popular that the choices at my LGS are about even. Also, if you can find or order Berger 140 grain, it has a Berger bullet and Lapua SRP...

    Investment Strategies

    First, I would look at the potential long term impact of Corona Virus. I would guess less international travel and a general push toward local production of critical products. This is going to change a few industries so if it is going to have a negative impact on a company you want to invest...
