    What Vises Are You Using (Barrel or otherwise)

    Vises are just like any other tool. Depending on what you're doing you may need different capabilities from your vise. As you expand your projects you're probably going to expand the number of vises you own. If you have an expensive vise I doubt you're going to beat on it. If you're doing...

    Barrel cleaning with alcohol

    I believe that running an alcohol patch through the bore was used more for those shooting matches between relays. You will probably see a slight shift in POI for a round or two if oil was left in the bore after cleaning. To avoid this an alcohol patch was used to remove any solvent or oils...

    Reloading supplies Cost increases

    Sorry to hear about your health issue. Since the pandemic prices on reloading supplies have been out of control. Access to components has increased cost, some because of supply, some because of greed. It is the old rule of supply and demand. When supply is short prices increase. When demand...

    Information to consider when purchasing a red dot

    So I recently purchased a Vortex Strikefire II red/green dot. After mounting it and looking through it the dot is not a dot but a slightly elongated shape. I've not experienced this with my Eotech sights. I wasn't sure if this was a defective sight or me. I've read where if you have an...

    Bilson Arms

    I just saw an ad for the company. It seems they have designed another option for forward cocking. I figure this video will show you how it functions. Has anybody played with one of these and if so what is your opinion of it?

    Reeeee!!! from DOD trannies imminent

    I'm not crying foul, I just expressed my personal opinion and experience. I said if someone, gender or sexual orientation didn't matter, was willing to do the job than I didn't have a problem with it. You say that women don't belong in combat roles but I think history and even current events...

    Reeeee!!! from DOD trannies imminent

    Let me enlighten you: "To qualify for Officer Candidate School (OCS), a candidate typically needs a minimum score of 110 on the General Technical (GT) section of the ASVAB test." My score was above the 110 and was offered to apply for OCS. It would have extended my enlistment so I turned it...

    Religious Question For The Anti Death Penalty Crowd

    AI Overview The statement "Sarah turns to salt after looking back at all the gay people burning in Sodom" is incorrect; in the Bible story, it is actually Lot's wife who turns into a pillar of salt after looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, not Sarah, and the story does not...

    Reeeee!!! from DOD trannies imminent

    When I was in law enforcement, there were those that believed the women didn't belong in patrol. My viewpoint was if I was getting beat on or threated in any other way, I didn't care who came to my rescue. There were males who wouldn't be there but there were females who would. In fact...

    Religious Question For The Anti Death Penalty Crowd

    According to AI: "The phrase "an eye for an eye" originates from the Bible, specifically the Book of Exodus 21:24, where it states "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.". This principle, also known as "lex talionis," essentially means that the punishment...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    Part of my choice on site choice is based on the distance the cartridge will be used in. 9mm, 300 BO or 223 all have different range capabilities, thus different sight choices.

    Please please please make this the next investigation!

    Since Fox News won't let me view the article because I won't allow ads, did they differentiate the results based on which vaccine was taken?

    Trying to order a fucking Pizza...

    I ordered a Canadian bacon, pineapple and jalapeno from a local, 15 miles away, restaurant tonight. Nothing like what I was used to on the West coast. Since moving here finding out that Taco Bell is not the same either, no green burrito's. I loved In-n-Out but the closest one is in Texas...
