Double Feed Issue - Issue Caused by Paint Interior?
HE is mostly right. One spent sitting nicely on the bolt face would be an ejector issue. Partially extracted would be extractor. 0.001" is the thickness of properly applied cerakote. Who knows what's on there. It's entirely possible it is slowing things down, and once you slow things down mags can behave oddly. They are designed with tension to behave properly given a certain amount of oomph. Hex mags put most of the tension to the rear, and one of the symptoms of slow cycling in semi autos in general is dragging the next bullet in the mag forward while the top most round is being stripped. Verify you ejector and extractor are good. If it were mine, beyond that my first step would be a moly bearing dry lube for the inside of the upper receiver. I have stuff called dry slide. I suppose that remdrilube is another option. That'd be my first try.

Maryland scraps bullet ID program
They hoped to place onerous burdens on something they don't understand. That's it. It played well with people educated by hollywood logic, so that got it bumped up in line a bit. The toolmarks experts told them way back when, as did the IT types, that it was useless. Toolmarks change over time, and they were told that. your odds of getting anything other than no match, or a torrent of useless junk you don't have time to check visually are zero. Toolmarks aren't useful for solving crimes, they are useful for making someone look guilty in a prosecution. Heck fingerprints are better, and if you do the math on how they are used in investigations and prosecutions these days, evidence has been admitted with as little as 7 matching points. the industry standard is 12, and with that bar set, real world tests of analysts by IAI had more than half of test subjects fail to match the provided latents to the provided samples, and 30% misidentified (i.e. said it matched when it didn't). Statistical studies for using fingerprints for biometrics have found some pretty bad tendencies for false correspondence of minutiae. About 1 in 170, and the dataset wasn't that big. Collaborative testing services evaluates fingerprint labs with perfect sample tests (i.e. think comparing your FOID print against good booking prints of arrested people), their misidentification rate for labs that respond ranges from 3%-20%.

The Walking Dead
They dressed up the aimless writing a bit for the finale, but they took a kick ass opening to the season and have turned it into the band padding out the instrumental for time because the singer had to go take a dump. Pinch it off already and get to actually moving the plot forward.

So when you go to the gunsmith, can you bring mine?
If they are a federally licensed gunsmith (not required in all states), they will ahve to enter it into their bound book or equivalent. They will likely ask.

Looks Like A Terror Attack In Paris
While I am sure it is sensationalized and composed and edited to elicit a maximal emotional response, it has stuck to core claims that are pulled from mainstream news, and most of the peril fraught what ifs are planks taken directly form a number of radical imams both within the EU and without. I just read a quote from the maker of the tv adaptation of the man in the high castle, it seemed ot make things much clearer and terse than I have ben able to when trying to explain why the way things are going down in the middle east bothers me so much. "living under fascist ideology, where you can be killed because of your race or your sexuality or [your disability] is so dehumanizing. Gandhi could shame the British into surrendering in India. Martin Luther King could shame America into de-segregating. You can’t shame the Nazis. [so] what do you do? " ISIS wants to form the caliphate. They view that as putting them in a position where they are divinely justified in bringing sharia law to the world and they will not be shamed out of it. They will not be talked out of it. They will not give up on that notion simply because the western world tries to understand them or negotiate with them. They take the view of the Koran that persecution of non-muslims takes the form of violence and death rather than simple taxation and exploitation. Having read it I see there being little wiggle room for ignoring or otherwise interpreting that particular word of god to mean something other than non-muslims should be treated badly enough to make them convert to islam. As ISIS sees it, that means convert or die, with no conversion option if you are particularly offensive to their beliefs. What you have right now is akin to the formation of nazi germany except with asymmetric warfare and a lack of respect for borders on a map when playing the game of war. To make it worse, we won't take any really definitive action against ISIS because they are the most destabilizing influence in the region, and that's how we supposedly keep Iran from empire building in the region.

Use your cell with no service
They require the internet to be in place and fo you to be hooked up to wifi. These require you and the recipient to have the device, and to have phone paired via low power bluetooth to them. No infrastructure beyond that except perhaps a way to charge them.

ASH VS EVIL DEAD
The first two episodes were great. Episode three was much weaker, I suspect because the SFX ate up the budget, and also because they tried to cram in too much plot advancement for 30 minutes of show.

digital scales?
Battery power or wall wart? A whole mess of people have had issues with some of the dillon scales unless running just on battery due to line noise.

SureFire Warden - Legal/Illegal?
How is it a threaded barrel without threads? The video I saw of it did not appear to use threads. The real issue is what does it do to muzzle flash. I'm going to guess it diffuses the gases, and will reduce it noticeably and be a no-no much like a noveske fire pig.

AR bolt sticking inside carrier?
Yeah look at the finish on the gas key too. Makes me ask if the right buffer is being used, or if it is trying to jam the carrier too far into the buffer tube and that's what's causing those three areas of wear.

M1a - Scout/Squad or SOCOM?
The socom 16 handles nicely ignoring the M1A manual of arms. In terms of recoil, trigger, muzzle rise, for a .308 it is nice. I wouldn't buy either unless it was a serious deal though. The tilting mag insert and the garand thumb operating procedure combined with the price is just not worth it IMO.

Tactical clownshoes
I think that is the point of the video. The guy in it actually knows what fine motor skills and gross motor skills are and demonstrated what kind of assclown looking move relying on only gross motor skills would be, and how laughable the concept is if you have even a small clue about what fine motor skills and gross motor skills are. He probably got sick of having his head explode from teh dumb ass shit he hears about gross motor skills and figured that today, today someone else's head could do the exploding.

The Walking Dead
I could have seen that be the way with the first shot of that scene. But then they followed up, I think he's dead. In general, I'd accept him hiding under the dumpster and making it due to the herd being drawn away, but if that's the case, I think they oversold it and it'll be a bit too big of a bullshit moment. I wouldn't put it past them though. The lady with the wounded leg got a wardrobe redo so she was dressed like a regular cast member and has the build and look to go with it. Her death was in every promo.

MSM Suggesting accidental gun deaths are rare
I think with the state of ratings and click through, there might be a new trend of fact checking other outlets to show how wrong and unreliable they are. It makes for good clickbait headlines that can be drawn out. For cnn it may also be that they have decided to back Bernard rather than Hillary, and it's a hot button issue they can say she is lying about in the extreme. Just my personal speculation, but I have seen a lot of peer like outlets ripping politifact a new one over a lot of recent changes.

Rust on spent casings ?
Brass is copper and zinc. If you have serious brown spots, and they remain after tumbling, it is likely a spot where the zinc was leeched out and the cartridge is no longer as strong. It is one of the reasons in not fond of wet tumbling with steel media and lemishine. It can hide such issues.

SAPPA flies motion for default in Federal Court today
For him to win, the court has to agree that civil rights were denied. Given that none of the cases to date have bothered any of the courts up to the circuit level, expect the same yet again. Then scotus can decide not to hear it. You can bring a suit over a conspiracy to create strawberry jam, but it won't do you much good as it's not a violation of the law. The only thing that is a must in this process is that RICO attaches a degree of long term peril to the named individuals even in a loss. However it won't be real peril. The only likelihood of that coming around is if an incumbent party used it to seize the assets of someone running under RICO. That be the end times for politics putting that out as a strategy. It'd be highly telegraphed and mean everyone goes for their nuclear options.

Possible suicide at RTSP
What about rentals to people who already brought a gun with them to shoot. I know when I used to frequent a range with rentals, I'd usually indulge in trying out something I didn't already own while there to shoot. Or am I just parsing the first time shooters thing wrong as first time at your range?

Discussion - "10 Best Semi-Auto Handguns of All Time"
Why? It didn't influence the industry, it was a flop in the role for which it was designed, it hasn't rocked the competition world, it wasn't some watershed change in manufacturing, it has little to no historical significance.
