    Those of us with ham radio licenses……..

    And also those with a free, no test GMRS license.  If the S hits the F, ham operators will surely be busy, probably just as busy as GMRS operators.  Each band of the spectrum will have its role to play.

  2. For those who do not have experience with two way radio beyond GI Joe walkie-talkies, y'all need to understand something if you are planning on using radio comms in a SHTF scenario.  A single $30.00 BeefWang is not going to save you from anything. 

    You need a plan, base stations, repeaters, mobiles and a network of trained (and trusted) individuals to support a SHTF comms scheme.

    What kind of range do you get.........

    This is a complicated question to answer with no short easy explanation.  The interwebs already has hundreds of websites with good explanations.  Try searching "two way radio range" and you will have hours upon hours of reading that will answer all of your questions.

    An AI bot couldn’t have said it any better!

    My first impression was someone copied and pasted an article they gleaned from another site, but AI bot sounds about right too.  Seriously, nobody but @Mrs. Peel writes like that. 

    It's too random for a new member to have posted this at 0330.  What could possibly inspire some Judy obsessed tortured soul to post this in the wee hours.  I am assuming a tortured soul because this Judy specific topic is apparently keeping someone up all night.

    The 2A doesn't say citizens, it says people.

    It says "the people", not simply, people, not referring to anyone with a pulse on US soil, but US citizens.  "The people", is specific to a distinct group.   Illegal immigrants are some people, but they are not "The People".

    "The People" referenced in 2A are, We The People of the United States, as prescribed in big bold letters, page one of the Declaration of Independence.

    There is no contradiction for a constitutional purist.

    Honestly, Now this is going far.

    Yanno, if we wanted to be assholes, we could sue every place that has Taylor Ham on their menu for the same reason Taylor got spanked back in the day.  They are usually not serving a Taylor brand product, and it certainly is NOT ham.  It's practically false advertising.  All we need is money.

    Is the 24" stainless stock sporter barrel good enough?

    It's possible that you can ring steel at 1000 with that barrel, maybe two or three times before the barrel heats up and starts stringing shots.  Which is perfectly fine for a hunting rifle.  Sporters are popular with hunters but not so much for bench rest shooters where you might go through 100 rounds in a session.

    would seem a shame to rebarrel it,

    The 700 lives to be rebarreled, and tweaked.  If you do have it rebarreled, have the smith check and true the action.


  8. As much as I love it when libtards and bureaucrats make themselves look stupid, and they do it often, I have to give this one a pass. I watched the entire uncut segment of Face the Nation where this demo was done.

    The Glock Mr ATF was fumbling with while trying to take it down is a kit gun, built by an amateur on an 80% frame.  The ATF dude eventually put that down and grabbed a factory Glock and took it down easily.

    They are still assholes, but for an entirely different reason.

    What percentage of US sold shotgun shells take the Euro primers?

    Just based on my observation of what people leave on the ground (i.e. range berries) I can safely say greater than 50%, but probably closer to 70% are Euro hulls.  The major Euro spec brands are Fiocci, Noble, and Rio.

    It should be noted, Cheddite makes virtually all the hulls used in European shotshell manufacturing.  It's unlikely anyone will come across a Cheddite branded hull laying on the ground unless they are on a trap/skeet range, they are used primarily by reloaders.  One could say that most Euro hulls are Cheddite spec. 

    Since folks usually buy whatever is the cheapest, the Euro spec made ammo is somewhat more attractive to the casual shooter.  They are not buying ammo based on reloadability or performance, so the popularity is based pretty much on "it was the cheapest on the shelf".
