    The most retarded action movie on the planet?

    A college roomate and I set out from Berkeley in my 78 Saab turbo one spring morning. Destination, Tommy's Burgers nearest to Marina del Rey. Out plan was to fill two coolers with double chili cheeseburgers. Haul them back up to Berkeley and sell them at a huge profit to all of our dorm mates...

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    See if you can shoot them all (Cz, Sig, S&W etc) for groups....buy the one that groups best for you. I can shoot the damned MP well despite being tired, wet, cold and hungry...the ergonomics suit my mitts well too. Is not as cool as my P7 or P220 SuperMatch but they work very well for me and...

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    I don't like them...but I shoot them well. So, I own three. Two are the previous model and have Apex trigger kits in them, which improves the reset.

    People Familiar with Portland - Check In...(FML, getting relo'd there temporarily)

    Yeah, the transportation infrastructure here isn't as well thought out as San Diego....as bad as that is, this is much worse. The average driver in the Pacific Northwest is a moron at best and more likely a meth addled shit bag. Driving skills are non-existent. Add the weather, poorly...

    People Familiar with Portland - Check In...(FML, getting relo'd there temporarily)

    That's a wrench in the works! Each region of the Portland Metro area has a cluster of shops as a core. You can live in or near these but the majority of them are in areas that aren't great for peace and quiet,parking, etc.. Look for the locations of McMenamins restaurants, New Seasons and Whole...

    People Familiar with Portland - Check In...(FML, getting relo'd there temporarily)

    It’s a long commute….there’s meth and the legacy of meth everywhere in the Pacific Northwest. As long as you stay west of 405, South of the Ross Island Bridge on the west side or East of 205 and south of Hwy 26 on the east side you can avoid a lot of the shit. The Bethany area is fairly...

    Increasing .22 ammo accuracy on a budget- PNW Hillbilly hack- Anyone up for a challenge?

    Thanks! I wouldn't be surprised about the tallow and wax. I had considered using lard in one of my experiments....but the spray kitchen lubes are easier to apply and likely won't go rancid while waiting on the shelf. I'm hoping to do a small/conrolled experiment this weekend....weather...

    Your go to rifle chassis?

    You can adjust the XLR folding mechanism so that there is no play. Call them, the process isn’t intuitive but is pretty simple.

    Are My Expectations Too High?

    Like others have mentioned, AR fundamentals are,well, fundamental. I'd suggest putting a 1" black or red paster dot on that IPSC target or use a 1" grid sight in target. Also as others have said, try shooting off of a sand bag up front. Cheek weld is important and can be odd on an AR with an...

    The good news is that the wave isn't expected to crest over the Portland bluff adjacent to The University of Portland (UP)...... it's a bit of a hillside scramble up from Swann Island but it can be done...also, the main FEMA rallying point for Portland is at UP.
