    Gunsmithing What would you do?

    To those saying "no contract" didn't happen, guys, I get that. Which is why I'm asking the question here in the event that someone's had something similar happen. That said, I do have the receipt/contract, it's a matter of finding it; but the past year was tumultuous on top of Covid. I almost...

    Gunsmithing What would you do?

    I'm at a loss here. Last March, I was getting spun up to go on a big game trip to Africa, so naturally that's a great excuse to get a gun made. So I did. I went to an outfit called C-Precision in Dallas GA. (Mods if name needs to be removed, I'm happy to do so, or obviously your powers of...

    Thank you sir! It's amazing how something that was at one time second nature (as much as it can be for an 11B), and to have it become new again. Amazing feeling, and this is one product worth every penny, now, and for anything I could possibly want to do. Impressive what some of these outfits...

    Cost of doing business with China? COVID-19

    I did some consulting work a few years ago, and back then, the Chinese were barely hanging on and able to keep up with world demand for the capabilities that they offer, supposedly. 3 years ago, i put in a professional paper that China was going to have to do something radical to keep up with...

    Ignorant on Corona

    There it is. A massively overlooked hammer that Trump can use down the road as the left keeps accusing him of doing nothing, while they ran sham impeachment hearings.

    Corona Virus has been here...

    The States started prepping for this in mid-January, two days before China admitted to the ”outbreak”, more likely, “release“. That said, the ”real” danger is that this is an absolutely new virus, and we do not have the typical herd inoculation that all living organisms develop. This has...

    Yep. Gimme a couple hours. It’s more involved than I can type via phone.

    Ignorant on Corona

    It is a political hot potato that can wreck the left IF they use the virus as a narrative to hit Trump with. That is because Trump put the CDC into action 2 days before China even admitted to the virus. He’s not said a word while the media and the left keep pulling the rope that will get used to...

    Ignorant on Corona

    Ignore the public comments if for no other reason than he did kick off the CDC and national COOP 2 days before the Chinese released the story and admitted to the world that this bug was on the run, and we’ve been in response mode since early January. It is going to be a political hammer because...

    Ignorant on Corona

    You’re absolutely right in calling out discrepancies. That link that I posted was as far as I can tell, and I’m happy to be wrong because that means a better source, but it seemed to be the most accurate aggregate based upon their sourcing. Part of the issue that’s rising insofar as entities...

    Ignorant on Corona

    The following offers no suggestions for a solution, however it is legit work that was done via a consulting engagement I did focused on supply chain, power delivery, tech and communication infrastructures, as they relate to Chinese national and global supply chain and logistical infrastructures...

    ATL - salty ole Army Grunt - joining with a purpose

    Hello all, I’m more than sure that there are some old fart friends that are a degree of separation. I’ll look forward to spotting you here. I’m an Atlanta guy, Army grunt vet, MMA idiot. Been shooting since 5 (1975), Army stuff, martial arts start 09/1981 (first MMA fight 93), fast forward...

    Maggie’s Choosing an excellent whiskey (?)

    @Waknstak well done sir. Not just a shout out to Canuk’s, but a damn good shout out for Canuck whiskey.

    Ignorant on Corona

    This link from a source that’s actively part of the solution. Could be others, but this is an option. The reality is the panic is worse than the actual virus warrants. Keep your math hygiene on point and you’ll see the hype is worse than the attack...

    Maggie’s Choosing an excellent whiskey (?)

    If you do not mind a blended Scotch, Buchanan is exceptionally easy to drink. And then for a day to day, it is hard to beat Buffalo Trace. If one is just getting into whiskey and you’ve heard about ole Pappy, and you wonder what the hype is; BT will tell you at a fraction of the price. And that...

    Somewhat new member here lurker from the very early years, coming back to the fold after a nasty filthy TBI, and long shooting is gonna play a role in brain exercise for recovery. All that consistency brings precision stuff. That said, this optic seems very well suited to people with a little...

    Compression Socks

    Compression sleeve's/socks are great. Get several pairs to slow the stink and stretching them out. I use them for BJJ and working out. I even have some compression tights; and they do make quite a bit of difference.

    scott sonnon's downrange density program - anyone tried it

    Scott started out really really good, and forward thinking. Then he has attempted to transform himself into some secret squirrel super operator trainer guy. He's sadly, become a bit of a caricature of himself. He's taken to saying he's been trained and accepted as a Spetznatz trooper, and some...

    Work out while traveling for work

    Get some quality Gymnastic Rings from a company like Onnit, or one of the "suspension training" systems like TRX (there are cheaper but I can't think of their names at the moment). Then all you need is the door to your hotel room, or some other place to put your rings or suspension system. I'm a...
