    I'm a big fan of Owls personally...

    This one was hanging out at my work for a while. I think it was living on the roof of the building next door. They had a lot of work going on up there and this guy came down from the roof and was sitting on the fence. I guess they called animal control and the guy tried to capture it with a net...

    Adjustable vs fixed butt stock

    If it's really sloppy you can use the soft sided adhesive backed velcro. Cut a little strip and apply it to the top of the receiver extension. It might be a little tight at first, but it will compress some and get better.

    Dottering Communist POS tells a 1.25 billion people what to do every day... ANd they do it

    The Catholic church has been killing what they see as their religious opposition for centuries. The cages with the Lutheran founders they executed are still hanging from a church in Germany if my memory is correct. Look at the history of the first Crusades. They killed each other on the way...

    Bell 47G - Transfer of Power???

    I found some info here: https://www.heli-archive.ch/en/helicopters/in-depth-articles/bell-47g3b-1 "A two blade tail rotor is installed at the aft end of the tail boom, and is driven by an auxiliary shaft connected to the freewheeling side of the transmission. The upper side of the tail boom...

    For better or worse- things from your past you won't ever see again.

    1000 round cases of Russian white box 7.62x39 for $60, nuclear and earthquake drills in school (CA), gas under a dollar a gallon, rotary phones...lots of things for me

    The Optic That Saved Trump's Life

    It couldn't be the 2-4 MOA ammo/rifle or 6-7 pound trigger wielded by a psycho with possibly poor technique trying to take a headshot at distance with a non magnified optic? And supposedly it was a DPMS which weren't exactly known for being top tier products. Honestly why does it matter what...

    Criterion core over gassed?

    My 14.5 Core seems to be gassed well. I played with some springs and buffers to see if there was much difference. Springco Blue, White/Red and regular carbine springs with H1 and H2 buffers. Ejection was perfect with all of them. Not much change really. I even tried the upper on one of my...

    Magazine Gripe

    It's possible your lowers are a little out of spec if "all" of your Pmags bind. If they are cerakoted it could be a little thick and causing the mags to bind. I have had 2-3 tight Gen 3 Pmags and I sanded them a little and it solved the issue, but none of my lowers have issues with any of my...

    OK SoCal - did you feel that?

    I didn't feel this one in OC. I did feel a few maybe 2-3 weeks ago that were smaller but close to the beach. One of them felt like someone smacked the asphalt with a hammer under my feet before the quick shake. Those were small in the 3.0 range. I don't get excited until its 6.8 or bigger. Still...

    I remember learning about the fall of a great empire because of people learning they could control the purse and the devaluing their own currency...and the reliance on cheap labor. Oh and there was a little political corruption and the removal and installation of new "leaders" at will...

    FL Man Moves To CA

    I work in Irvine and have been around this area since the mid 90's. He's not wrong. The FBI raided and arrested a bunch of people here right after 9/11. A local coffee shop owner near where I worked at the time told us about witnessing many of the planners meeting at this shop once a week and...

    Reloading precision .223 for the first time. Help if you can...

    LC or Lapua brass 77 SMK of Hornady 75 HPBT Pick your small primer. Fed GMM has been most consistent for my rifles, but CCI 41, Rem 7.5, CCI400 have all worked well. 23.2-23.6 XBR 8208 Should group well if you barrel is good and you are a good shooter.

    Case Mouth Getting Dented

    My 6ARC dents the case mouths and I added one of those adhesive foam pads like the link above. It stopped the problem completely. It was a small flat spot but this solved it.

    Gunsmithing Mos print

    I found this in a quick search. I realize it's not the footprint for the slide but it has some dimensions that might help? https://www.optics-trade.eu/blog/holosun-scs-mos-footprint/

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    I was told by someone in the know shortly after this happened that the shooter was shot in the neck. That was at 6:33 PST. Exact quote "The shooter took a round in his neck before Trump ducked down. 200 yards shot" He was prior USSS and DSS so I trust what info he told me. He has been retired a...

    PortaJohn

    This one was in OKC. It didn't seem too ghetto to me but I was not familiar with the area. I figured it was a destination for tweakers and bad people. Kinda like how Walmart attracts the "finest" in the areas they are located.

    Of course this happens at a Waffle House. I have witnessed some crazy shit at the first Waffle House I visited while on the road for work. This is when I learned that those places are magnets for tweakers and trash...and the food is garbage. Only later did some of the local staff tell me to...
