    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    Cartridges come and go. If the firearms industry didn't continue presenting new products (firearms AND ammo) to the gun buying public, they would probably go broke. The firearms industry needs to make the gun buying public perceive a "need" for the latest, greatest, whiz-bang, cartridge or...

    Why Mask Wearing is my Civic Duty

    I wouldn't attempt to force anyone to wear a mask, but I wear one. It is my way of showing that I respect other people, that I want to reduce even the possibility of catching, or transmitting something to them. I don't need to argue over whether the masks are effective or not as I don't feel...

    Maggie’s Is it me or have package delivery taken a crap..

    Package delivery problems are just another indicator of people no longer taking pride in doing a good job. People used to be embarrassed when they were caught doing a poor job, but society has changed and with very few exceptions, most businesses no longer care whether they do agood job, as long...

    Come And Take Em

    When the British tried to restrict the guns in the USA they incited the birth of our Nation. I suspect that the vast majority of people in the USA will either comply with a ban, turn in guns, hide them away, or just ignore any new restrictive laws. Most folks don't want to risk both their...

    How many rds will my AR15 bolt last before replacement?

    The only bolts I have ever had fail were 6.5 Grendel bolts. Both bolts had the Lug next to the extractor fail. After the second failure, I was told that facing off the front of the upper receiver where the barrel extension mates to the upper reduces the chances of bolt breakage as it helps...

    Looking for fabricator for USPSA target stands

    When I was running precision rifle matches, we bought a great many targets, and various target stand models from JCSteel Targets. Jake (the owner) is a well known precision shooter too, and a great guy to deal with. I finally gave up trying to beat his prices.

    Old bloke from Australia

    Welcome from Washington State (Look up Puget Sound if you are interested). I think you will be surprised that you aren't all that old compared to many of the members here.

    New Oregon member

    I'm a former Oregon resident now in Puget Sound, welcome to "the hide". There are a great many terrific places to shoot in central and S.E. Oregon. I used to spend lots of time shooting around Burns, French Glen and Fields, Or. Once you get past French Glenn, the distances you can shoot are...

    Cycling Issues with Reloads and Daniel Defense DD5v5

    I changed to an adjustable gas block and small base dies to clear up all my problems. The adjustable gas block didn't seem to do all that much to fix things, but after the small base dies, the rifle ran like a sewing machine. In measuring the base of the cases, the small base dies only...

    U.S. Army's Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW)

    Something I don't understand. They showed and talked about careless ammo, yet the guns they fired seemed to all be ejecting brass cartridge cases.

    Lemans and Isle of Mann TT are two of the racing events in the world I would dearly love to see in person.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I was reading about one of the new class of hypercars that might be able to compete in the LMP class cars next year that puts out 840 horsepower, and the body style (with the exception of the rear fin) is really gorgeous. They were saying that while the F1 cars are faster around a track, that...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I really like F1 racing and the technology they bring into auto and engine building. I don't think many people realize the physical demands of trying to control a car with that much power and grip on the racetrack. With that said, I have always had a thing for the Lemans prototype cars, and...

    Maggie’s The whole nine yards....

    That is why I said that the ammo belt story made more sense than the kilt story. My guess is that someone who made kilts thought they could get a leg up on the competition if they figured out a way to be part of the story about the saying "the whole nine yards" no matter how far fetched their...

    Maggie’s The whole nine yards....

    I have also heard that it began referring to the length of fabric used for a Scottish great kilt, (not the modern kilt) . With the great kilt, there is a great deal of fabric that is tossed over the shoulder and can be used like either a shawl, blanket, or just tossed over the shoulder and...

    Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter-accusations. PSA for dealing with woke shitheads.

    If that would be their plan, the problem with it is that I don't have a job or income they can screw with. So I guess I am in the enviable position of being able to freely state my opinion. That, plus few of them know the difference between a racist and a bigot. I do not believe one race...
