Tex, don't take this the wrong way, but, I officially hate you now.

I have always wanted one, and now that I don’t live in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey, I was finally able to indulge. Thanks to @PK90, I was able to do this. Thanks Paul!!! New Steyr AUG, NATO version. In the short run, it will wear an ACOG, but eventually I’ll pop a red dot on this thing. Now, to sneak this past Mrs Tex….

This is the most important point here. Remington doesn't exist. Remington didn't admit any fault OR offer a settlement. The insurance companies settled because they aren't there to fight for the 2nd Amendment. They are there to turn a profit. The cost of settling outweighed the cost of litigation. It's that simple. What this means for other gun related businesses is another story entirely.

I do admit, the "man card" Bushmaster ads are tacky. But if salesmanship is to blame, then companies like BMW are to blame for the ... interesting road choices people make in their vehicles

I was chosen for the beta test of Truth Social! Get ready people time to tell the booster seat bitch at FB and the dirty hippy at twit to stick it!

Next time, carry an empty case out of the house staring that you're going to the range, and bring back a new gun. She'll never know.

Actual footage of Tex trying to sneak the gun in the house when Mrs Tex is home:

"Whats's that, dear? Oh, I've had this one for years. You must have forgotten it. It's been in the safe all this time."

Nice! The great outdoor humorist Patrick McManus wrote an article titled "Gunrunning" on how best to sneak new guns into the house without spousal disapproval. I can't find it online, but a couple of pages of it can be found here: Gunrunning

I would not suggest he put down unemployed. Then he is lying on the form, which would cause an entire other level of grief if caught.

Are you sure you don't have a M4 upper

It would certainly make ice-dancing more interesting.

Trump's fault...

So if i slip and fall on a banana peel, Can I sue Chiquita.

The Olympics, or rather the IOC, bares a lot of the blame as well. If even half the reports are true regarding the corruption and level of bribery required to be considered to host the games then the whole organization needs to be dismantled.

I agree with many of the comments here... it's overly politicized... overly commercialized... badly covered by the network, etc. There's also been yet another Olympic drug scandal (the young Russian figure skater) and blatant displays of Chinese censorship - all a real downer. But what's saddest of all (for me) is that our collective declining interest impacts ALL of the athletes, most of whom don't cheat... but rather, they sweat, sacrifice, and suffer to be the very best that they can... the best in the WORLD! It's an almost unfathomable level of dedication required to reach the pinnacle that is the Olympics. And it's a shame that all of the incredible sacrifice on the part of so many athletes is getting "lost in the sauce". I have enjoyed watching the Olympics my entire life... it's been sad to see it in decline. I hope it can be turned around. The Olympic concept is still so brilliant -- and probably needed more than ever in our chaotic world. Anyway, it's not ALL doom and gloom! Here's one of the better stories to come out of these Winter Olympic games. Just a simple, classy act of sportsmanship (and dare I say, Olympic spirit?) by a gold medal winner from Finland: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/winter-olympics/finnish-cross-country-skier-wins-gold-watches-rest-of-race-and-waits-to-embrace-last-place-finisher/ar-AATN8ni?ocid=uxbndlbing

All the above and more. China hypocrisy, woke US athletes, doping and cheating, athletes going to play for "random" countries (i.e. China hockey), NBC. They all suck. Can't get behind it any more.

It's recommended to sand blast phosphated parts for 3-5 seconds then thoroughly clean with acetone before applying Cerakote. The part does not need to be stripped down to bare metal. The paint will stick to the phosphate, but the problem is with poorly applied phosphate coating flaking off, causing the Cerakote to flake off, causing many calls to Cerakote's customer support line.

I’m not 100% - but I think they’ll strip the existing finish from the part before applying cerakote.
