I wouldn't equate idiocy with y2k. The only reason y2k wasn't a mess was because a LOT of people worked very hard to avoid it being a mess.

I'll probably post a complete list tomorrow night as I'm letting folks on the stage builder list give suggestions. So far it's bang and clang, 99-52 and 99-56.

Like the subject says. This month's cj match is a special classifier match with 6 stages. Trying to give the usual helpers a break after the butt kicking weather for the sectional match. September will be a normal match.

They could, but they probably won't. Many plastics when you hit them with a laser engraver emit very acidic gasses. It can mess you up if you inhale, but more importantly, it can shorten the lifespan of your ventilation system if not designed for it, and REALLY shorten the lifespan of your laser's optics.

Short of a 1050, I like a turret for rifle. A progressive loses a lot of the advantages it has when you have to take brass off and put it back on for case prep. A lee turret works fine, and is an affordable way to get your feet wet. Then upgrade to progressive for your pistol, and make the turret your press for rifle.

Brownells has them. Vinny at hunting world guns and ammo will order you one at brownells dealer discount. Unless you want to wait for an sti stocking dealer to get one made from sti, which will be a while, it's the cheapest fastest way.

I said willful. You are up on scaffolding and you fall and land on and kill someone, it's not murder. If you did something negligent, it might be manslaughter. If your scaffolding collapsed because of a manufacturing defect, or sudden high winds, it's just an accident and there is no crime. You dump toxic substances in a stream, then you willfully performed an act. Your ignorance of the law does not excuse the act.

I've listened to him and watched him. 1) his demeanor on his radio show is significantly different than it was on his tv show when discussing the same issues. 2) he cranks up the crocodile tears way too often for subjects that don't justify it. 3) he wears a thousand dollar suit that doesn't fit right. That doesn't happen by accident. 4) he is generally immune to facts and accuracy, even if such would bolster his argument. In short, drugs or no, he's lying... 24-7. His business is getting people worked up, facts be damned, and his ethical boundaries regarding how far he will go to do that are pretty lax. He's not a good guy, he's not a nice guy, he's lying to your face and not very well and ginning up some half assed sincerity, also not very well. I have zero tolerance for people like that, regardless of what they are selling.

Uh no, you only might be right. Without pics we can't tell. But post ban rifles often shipped with a rifle length buffer tube shaped like a carbine tube with a normal carbine stock. It was done that way to be non collapsible. The op has been clear as mud and nobody knows if he has that a normal rifle extension on there and is wondering why his new stock won't fit, or what. A picture would be worth a bunch of posts on this one.

You should have asked them how many they can process in a day. I know in one town I dealt with it in, they sent out the references immediately and they went on the stack. You got printed you went to the next stack. That stack got processed twice a month and sent to the state. Two guys, alternated weeks printing, printed only one day a week. The stack was about 100-150 any given period. 50-60 day turnaround and they weren't working that hard at it, and a good 10-14 days of that was the lazy ass chief. 100 days is bull, sorry.

He's not the first.

Looks like you did a good job.

You sir need to start viewing lawyers like guns. You need to be armed and take the fight to them. Im not one to view court as a payday, but some a-holes need to get taxed so they do their job.

Uspsa max shot will be 50 yards. One of the classifiers is 50, another couple 40. 6" plates at 20 yards static, 8" at 20 moving is about as bad as it will get locally for non classifier stages.

Why is your front sight on backwards?

In general, don't trust the weights in that chart. A lot of them are off. As for the Troy, I like them, but they are not the most rigid. It's a trade off for the weight, and with other handguards, it'll cost you more in weight. I'm about 6'6" and like the 13" tube. However a 12" rifle length is very workable, and depending on the design of the muzzle device, is the length I'd go with for a 14.5. I like my fingers.

you stone the sear face without changing the angle and without going below the lowest groove from the factory machining marks. That in theory keeps you from going past the surface hardening.

Most firearms used in crimes are stolen. Either from the manufacturer, from a dealer, or from an owner. What can you do to stop it? Not much. In south africa, they had criminals rolling very large rocks onto patrol vehicles to kill or injure the officers, and take the sub guns they kept in the trunks.

Yes, but the kids don't necessarily identify themselves with the characters. It's also very easy to spin 1984 all communist as long as the bored kids don't look too hard. Harry potter also has some seriously subversive stuff in it too.

With a prepped sear and the lightest springs, it'll be about 4lbs and not light everything off.

It won't destroy it. The primer sealer can cause slam fire in an at though. There are folks who have seen shortened service life from extractors and ejectors, but heck, buy a spare bolt with the savings on the first case and you will have saved a lot by the time you need it, if you need it at all. I'm not convinced that the lifespan of any two components is necessarily that similar. Since they have switched back to copper washed steel bullets, it WILL wear the bore faster. There's a nice write up in front site and superior barrels has a page on how thin the copper coating is, and how hard the steel is on those bullets these days. The financial math gets worse when you have to calculate shorter barrel life spans in. When they were shipping with copper jacketed projectiles, wolf was an awesome deal. The price difference has shrunk, and it's easier than ever to sell your once fired brass for a decent price. Mixed headstamp once fired goes for $65 per k plus shipping. That's more than the difference between a case of wolf and a case of something brass cased. Just have to police your brass.

I doubt that is the case. I suspect it has more to do with having to compensate people for property you are effectively taking. Some states will not grandfather bans of various things, but give a lead time in which to sell or dispose of items, thus theoretically not denying you of your personal property or the monetary equivalent thereof. The fedgov sticks closer to the eminent domain type of math because they also limit the ability of an individual to export things.

I'll give examples. A GOOD single stage trigger = Basically no take up, breaks suddenly without warning at about 3lbs, has very little overtravel, and a very short reset. The stock AR-15 trigger is a single stage, but it has a LOT of creep built into the design, so it's basically apply 6-9lbs of force to drag the trigger through some gravel to make the sear disengage. A 2-stage trigger has different sear geometry, and there's basically spring loaded pre-travel. So for example with a 4.5lb national match trigger, it'll be you drag it through 3lbs of just spring before you hit sear resistance, then you have to apply another 1.5lbs of pressure to disengage the sear and make the hammer do its thing. They usually are set up to have little to no creep as the mating surfaces at the sear and hammer move over each other.

I'm pretty conservative about surveillance, and in general I agree with you. The problem I have with the automatic plate readers is when it moves from lookups to logging time and location of people who don't match for warrants, stolen vehicles, amber alerts, etc. That then is warrantless surveillance.

The place is quirky as hell, but they manage to do it without crossing that line to unpleasant. Worst thing for me was the first time I went there, nobody told me to bring cash.
