    Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

    Dire Wolves for working dogs could be kinda cool if they could keep them under control. Imagine some Tier 1 unit jumping in with 1-2 of those with them.

    11.5" Barrel and other suggestions

    Most handguards that require a special barrel nut will come with the nut. Some also include the wrench, while others will not. Centurion makes handguards that will bolt on around the stock barrel nut, but you need to remove the delta ring. It's another option. The BCM barrels rarely come back...

    I would suspect more scissoring than tapping, unless its being tapped by plastic or a bat wrapped in barbed wire.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    The Magpul DT PR stock is a good option. I have the PRS Lite on my build currently but I might change it to the DT PR to drop a little more weight.

    CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE AND FLYING THE FRIENDLY SKIES

    Nope. Never got a response. I watched them take it right out of my backpack $200 in cash. I had TSA PreCheck and was flying about 90k miles a year in the US for work. The "supervisor" said he couldn't see it in the camera. I have friends that are LAPD and LASD. The LASD guy worked the area...

    CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE AND FLYING THE FRIENDLY SKIES

    I had TSA at LAX airport steal my cash right in front of me and I was told I had to fill out a form to file a complaint. The theft took place during a "secondary bag inspection".

    The Greatest Archaeological and Technological Discovery of Mankind

    Even when rods are made here the US Gov is touchy about it. I also work in the industry and we own a certain rod factory in the NW. They made us stop printing made in US to handcrafted in Washington. All because the base materials and components mostly come from overseas. Even the prepreg was...

    23andMe up for Sale

    Based on how much the Khan's took over, there is a high probability that a good portion of the world has some of their bloodline.

    Or it was leaked on purpose to send a message.

    Advanced Marksmanship Correcting for mirage

    Yes I figured this out. There is still some voodoo involved but less problems.

    153 grain ATIPs

    I do not own an AR10 type rifle.

    153 grain ATIPs

    I shot some with Reloader 26 using .002" tension in a bolt gun. No issues but the 135 Atips shoot a lot better for my rifle.

    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...
