This thread is useless without pics. Mainly because I don't think Greenday is up to the task of accurately describing the failure. As he is describing it, the cartridge went wooshing past the chamber and was fully seated IN the barrel. That a .378" case head was jammed in a .224" hole without anything seeming weird. This is not possible. Which means he's not accurately describing what happened. The best guess any of us have trying to interpret that mess is that he bumped the shoulder back enough to make the brass essentially shorter than the chamber. We live in an age of ubiquitous cameras. Take a damn picture. Sheesh.

Cars these days last longer than they did in the past. They just aren't as repairable because you can't essentially re-manufacture one from parts like you could with old cars. That aside, I'm with screwball. I don't see this working out for you any better than what was offered. Especially from GM. This is a company that shrugs it shoulder at criminal behavior from it's dealers. It is also a company that walked away from warranty coverage with the bail out. They aren't liable for the problems you had by law, so they have made a painless gesture as a nod towards customer retention because it is cheaper than customer acquisition.

That's an incredibly stupid argument. People who are facing the death sentence aren't looking at light sentences in the absence of the death sentence, they are looking at life without parole. They aren't coming out to re-offend. That being said, I do believe death is a legitimate punishment for some crimes. SOCIETY in general should be able to exact this punishment on those who cross that line. However, the system enacting that punishment is the same fucked up system we don't trust to be the only one's armed and have a history of being immoral, self-serving shit heads. I do not trust them to do the right thing, honestly in general. Adding to that the fact there is an equal or higher cost to the death penalty than to locking someone up for life, I don't see the benefit of doing it. In fact, from the perspective of the power of the people vs the government, the opportunity to remedy the fuckery of self serving shit heads holding office, even if poorly and incompletely, is a power that is good to reserve to the people.

Want a factory load that's heavier than 55gr m193 clones but not too pricey? Sales on IMI 77gr razorcore are about the best bang for the buck. I think I have seen it as low as $0.55 per round if you bought enough. I've been loading hornady 62gr bthp bullets with decent results and works well in 3 gun out to 400 yards. After 400 yards, I'm not sure as I need to get better at that bit. Not a lot of opportunity to practice. You can get a load that is pretty close to my velocities in the form of frontier 62gr bthp at about $0.45 a round. They also have a frontier 62gr jsp available. Apparently they added 75gr bthp and 68 gr bthp loads. the 68s are a good bullet and are a couple bucks more per 500 round case than the 62. Hornady steel match 75gr bthp is also avaiable for ~$0.45 a round. Me I just buy the 62 heads cheap and load them for about $0.23 a round. If money is no object, or at least $1 a round type of money isn't. There are a LOT of options for more accurate factory .223/5.56 ammo.

Maybe, if you aren't forced to sell them, or become a prohibited person because your wife's lawyer told her to lie.

They have ginger chews, non drowsy and with a dosing age of 6. Which their other products don't have. I just assumed that was the product when I looked it up. The meclizine stuff isn't what is in dramamine, but is also an antihistamine that causes drowsiness. So if you are trying to skip the drowsiness, it's their ginger pill.

He's recovering from throat cancer. HE also had a couple other health problems prior to that to help out too. Also most celebrities have big heads and are shorter.

Or, you know, cgi. Or models. Or a mix of both.

I will also point out that if your guns leave the house. They aren't coming back. You've established you aren't even having that conversation any more by simply complying.

Buy a gun safe. Tell the wife to try to get into it. Don't even limit her to her ridiculous bullshit answer.

Dunno, but tests ahve been done with 20" barrels vs 24" and the 20s won despite giving up some velocity (this was .308 BTW). Especially if you are keeping the same weight budget. A 20" of the same weight as the 24" will be more rigid and less impacted by barrel harmonics. Like everything with everything ever. It's a compromise. The best compromise may not be intuitive. with regards to the "firearms" I'm pretty sure the compromise of straight "rifling" loses it the accuracy game at any range.

I'm not going to get into the details of what is what RE: global warming, but I can say that I don't like the way their simulations are vetted in general. Going to your AI reference, you feed the damn things a learning data set to get an arbitrary rule out of them for determining if something is X. You then feed it a new data set and see how right it is. If it is below a certain threshold, you throw it away as garbage. The warming models need way more refinement then they get and are being held to a pretty low standard for most of them. Which irks me. Anthropogenic or not, unprecedented or not, in general, it looks like things are getting hotter, and we will have to survive it. It'd be nice if we didn't have what boils down to conjecture on what those effects might be that we have to survive. Engaging in a circle jerk where everyone agrees their models that have been inaccurate in determining the effects is good enough doesn't help with that.

Bonine is just ginger pills. What may be an important fact for someone: ginger is a laxative in larger doses. I've never been seasick on a boat in the daytime. However I went on a fishing trip that was at night, mostly lights out, and turned out to be under conditions where cloud cover made the moon and stars non-existent. That one managed to make me feel unwell but didn't have me heaving. Motion sickness really comes in two forms. One is intolerance to getting yanked around physically and the associated inner ear feedback. The other is due to a mismatch between what your brain perceives the motion to be and what your inner ear determines the motion to actually be. The former is just going to be bad without dramamine or the patch, or if you are lucky, ginger. The latter can be helped by watching the horizon or engaging in significant physical activity that is more pronounced than the movement of the boat. Regardless, careful on the ginger. You don't want to be heaving from both ends. (FYI, in my looking up of ginger tea for unassociated reasons, teh advice was ~1Tbs as daily intake. Do not exceed if you don't want a laxative effect, do if you do want to doodoo.

Got the trijicon 1-8 on my 3gun rifle. considering one of these for my .22 upper. https://www.primaryarms.com/pa-1-6x24mm-ffp-illuminated-rifle-scope-with-acss-raptor-556-reticle-black

Could be damn near anything really. Maybe the guys neighbor a half mile down the road is a dealer and these guys got the wrong gravel road going into the woods trying to rob the dealer. Maybe they are the kind of scum that don't care if they got $5 or $50,000 and were just breaking into places far away from police attention. Maybe the dude in the hospital who shot them owed them money, drugs, etc. Maybe they wanted someplace with water, electricity and a toilet to cook some meth for a few weeks and were going to lock him up or kill him to do so. Maybe they were the drug dealers next door, a half mile down the road, and they wanted to make sure the dude in the hospital didn't ever call the cops on them again. Maybe the guy offended them at a local bar/club/whatever and they found where he lived and were going o teach him a lesson.

People looking to make trouble seldom do so where they know they will be seen and get lots of attention.

You are renting the hotel room, it is effectively a residence while you are renting it. DirtyDigz advice is spot on.

Well, I have pretty significant nearsightedness to the point that most shooting glasses can't accommodate it. I also went with a "discounts? You mean MSRP without a markup is a major sale, right?" optical boutique to get mine done, and I hit $530. If you have minor near or farsightedness and some astigmatism, you should be able to get something for under $400. If you just do poly-carbonate in a decent frame with ansi side shields, you can likely keep it damn cheap. You got bad advice.

What's your scrip? $1500 sounds way too high.

Just you know.. asking the stupid question in case there's someone stupider in the room, but are you using prescription glasses with these optics? A 4x acog and 1x prismatic scope are essentially the same thing, the only difference should be lens sizes, target magnification, and build quality. You can have issues with dots and holographic sights even with a corrected astigmatism because of the nature of how those optics work. Nothing is going to fix an uncorrected astigmatism..... well except making the image bigger until your brain has enough to work with to fill in the crap data from the astigmatism. i.e. if the acog was better, it may just because it made the image larger. If you don't have prescription glasses... get them. If you do and dots are rough, find an optometrist who will work with you and get you a scrip to mitigate it and get special shooting glasses.

So.. just so you know. The crazy dude who shot up vegas? He had a pilots license. How many people would he have killed ahd he decided to kamikaze a plane into the crowd instead of jsut shoot at them from a distance. Also go fuck yourself.

I usually get hassled by airport security for whatever reason. They don't like me in general. However, I did get super hassled for getting their attention to point out to them that their metal detector was unplugged. Yes, EWR. They are super competent there, always.

Frankford arsenal has started making a co-ax. They are readily available, althoguh I don't recall the Fostner ever being hard to come by.

We had one in our basement when I was a kid.

It's presented badly. I'm going to guess that given the max and min age range of the shooters mentioned in the report (and from this you can tell what events those are), that it's the standard FBI mass shooting definition of 4 or more injured or killed. Their explanation of methodology is lacking. Especiallly in specifying how the samples were culled for phase I and phase II. Or how the initial sample was determined. If it was all mass shooters in that time frame something was up with the culling from phase I to II as we know from public disclosure a whole heck of a lot of inicidents involve stealing/borrowing firearms. Also taking a firearm without permission is stealing it.
