    Trump in Helsinki: Did He Let Putin Eat His Lunch? Or Was This Just Recon?

    Like a prose poem ... I like it. Some think POTUS did a good job in Helsinki, for various reasons. I don’t agree, for reasons already stated.

    Trump in Helsinki: Did He Let Putin Eat His Lunch? Or Was This Just Recon?

    I registered no party and didn't vote in the last election, not that it matters. I make no excuses for our current president, past ones, or anyone else. Now is the subject at hand the one at hand, or shall we dig up other irrelevancies?

    Trump in Helsinki: Did He Let Putin Eat His Lunch? Or Was This Just Recon?

    Nah. I'll stick around ... and keep watching the ten of you here with revolution on your minds and the wool over your eyes make excuses for a fellow that doesn't deserve your support nearly as often as you think he does.

    Trump in Helsinki: Did He Let Putin Eat His Lunch? Or Was This Just Recon?

    Those two are a good start. He might also have brought up murdering journalists on foreign soil, invading sovereign nations and annexing territory (just like our last president should have done), hell, even the pipeline he criticized late last week. Additionally, if he didn't want to shit in...

    Trump in Helsinki: Did He Let Putin Eat His Lunch? Or Was This Just Recon?

    Oh, please. He's an incompetent dupe who does his best to obscure every fuck-up with bluster, law-suits, and the interference of his increasingly ineffective staff. At the very, very least, his behavior was pathetic, weak, and demonstrated zero concern for the interests of this country.

    It's a nice place to live. The casinos are fun.

    Hey Tucker,

    Second. We have the books thread, but it isn't quite the same as having the "Sniper's Hide Library, "Reading Room" or some such. Stickies on a good marksmanship reads, fiction and non-fiction, etc. would be nice and even helpful.

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Continuing on ... additional parts here and there. Grabbed a good deal on Seekins adjustable gas block and flash hider. Ordered a Seekins barrel in .223 Wilde today ... 16” with the mid-length gas. I feel a little odd about the Aero receivers and hand guard now, as this is sort of shaping up...

    Ill be the first to say it - LOLGermany

    Germany really screwed the pooch ... Low's approaches to each game was confusing, and leaving Leroy Sane out for Brandt was dumb as hell. Mario Gomez? Never thought I'd see Neuer make that bad a mistake, though. Oh well. I'm pulling for the three lions now.

    SCOTUS Rules in favor of Trump Travel Ban

    Sotamayor's attention to Korematsu in the dissent was interesting. Worth reading.

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Economy, simplicity, and commonality ... good words to live by, I think. As the research continues (I try to shoot sometimes, too), I did come across the article linked below; it seems worth a read for those looking at their first builds or those interested in some extra dope. Will keep...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Thanks a lot, Greg. I have been a bit concerned about fitment, and the overall marriage of the disparate parts that I 'll be picking up. Trying to stick to 3-4 companies, and hoping that the individual pieces are in spec. Learning the hard-way is the way its going to have to be this time...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Hmm. I do know the fundamental difference between casting and forging ... Aero claims the M4E1 upper receiver is forged; neither cast nor billet machined. I'll see what I can dig up on their process; went with forged because I figure (and i guess internet wisdom says) that's usually a bit more...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Thought about the Colt ... decided to build because it's fun. Barrel is really the sticking point for me. Good advice all around, so I'm just going to have to go with one of the recommendations above. Upper (M4E1) and hand-guard arrived today from Aero. Seem decent; smooth machining, lines...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Man. The JPMS556 Special is pretty good deal. With the barrel, bolt, gas block, compensator, and tube, it doesn't really put me much over my current build cost (I made a spreadsheet, for easy analysis). I have read nothing but great reviews of everything JP, for what that's worth. Working...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Thanks Vegas, Coffee, German. Probably going to take the advice on mid-length gas system. Reducing wear and tear makes sense, as does reducing felt recoil. KAC looks like quality stuff ... but I’ve discovered I am, indeed, poor (I didn’t think I was, but the price of a complete KAC upper...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Thanks again, fellas. So far, I’m parting out a duty-style, reliable sort of rifle (I hope). Went with Aero for receivers, BCM BCG (also BCM grip and charging handle). 5.56, 16”, not going past 300m with any frequency. Looking for solid, reliable ... durable. Little concerned by a...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Thanks for the info, neighbors. Started parting something out this weekend ... it is like Legos. Figure if I don't like something, learn something different, I'll change a part out here or there. Or just build another.

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Been using bolt guns and pistols for a while, and would like to do some semi-auto shooting for targets. Lots of ar-type rifles out there, but I have to say I'm largely ignorant of the nomenclature, and especially ignorant of the mechanical differences between parts, functioning, coatings, of...
