+1 here. I got more than a few stuck .223 cases with One Shot. Started this mixture and it's been great. I swear it almost feels easier to operate and no sticking what so ever.

Dupe

I'm simplifying for the sake of keeping it short. My wife doesn't like it very much when I do this while at the Devils game.

You're under-analyzing what goes through someone's mind when making a survival decision in .350 of a second. It's either fight or flight, and some choose flight....and lose. Those that choose to fight, may not decide fast enough and will lose the advantage of violence. To me, I don't think you thoroughly read this article. You'd have a better understanding if you did. The guys over at Sage Dynamics (they wrote the article for BBC) know what they're doing/talking about. When a bad guy presents himself, it's not like a movie. You don't have time to defend/plan/articulate. You have only your *trained* instinct, whether that's trained to run, or trained to be efficiently violent/lethal.

OODA loop is definitely a good thing to know and understand. I definitely agree that the evil word violence is not evil. I've always been taught that the only thing that can defeat violence is a stronger violence. It's one of the reasons I was always drawn to Krav Maga. Violence is not an evil trait, it's an action (good or bad). Use of force is the good guy's way of saying "fuck shit up"...no difference

Tennessee is my plan right now

When I was looking in the general area of Houston area I was pricing about $150,000 for anything worth moving into. That being 3bd-1b 2000sq ft on an acre-ish.

Yea there are a decent amount of restrictions in Texas. It's a great place to be right now as it's economy is booming, but it's far from the best in terms of freedoms. Open carry is completely illegal there.

Well that's not exactly what this one did, although I've definitely gotten that vibe before. This Texan Patriot just came off as a tool. He spent the last few months asking about civilian militias and how he had been meeting with various groups but didn't meet his satisfaction. He's one of those guys that POSTS IN ALL CAPS TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS. He quoted me on something completely irrelevant a few hours ago and unfortunately Troy got to him before I could.

Why do some of these whackjobs sign up as a new shooter, contribute 10 posts to the forum, claim to be a badass that's too good for everyone here, then start demanding stupid things like deleting their account? As if anyone would notice them no longer contributing .72 replies a month....what purpose does it serve to type in all caps, demanding to delete your account? I just don't get it. Can anyone enlighten me?

I have a store bought 82" grill that does propane on one end and seals of a charcoal chamber on the other. It has an offset smoker that worked alright when I got it. I made some adjustments to seal everything better, and to direct the heat better also. The biggest problem with an offset fire box, is even displacement of the heat into the meat chamber. In September I had my last barbeque of the year and smoked 37lbs of different meats. I make my own dry rubs, marinades, barbeque, wing, and hot sauce all from scratch...right down to my pickling my home grown jalapenos.

Yes amazon for both the lanolin and 99% ispropyl

Also a reason why .22tcm is good for HD. The KelTech PMR 30 is becoming more popular in free states.

Check the date of the last post in this thread and you may already have your answer.

That sounds like an awful lot of work to me. I just mix 4oz of liquid lanolin into 16oz of 99% ispropyl alcohol and spray a couple squirts on 100 or so cases, roll them around and let them sit for 5 minutes and start sizing and reloading.

I've had an 18v Makita set that came with the flashlight, 1/4" driver, 1/2 drill, and reciprocating saw for over 6yrs. I used them all day every day. I've had one battery fail and the tools still work great. I paid $300 for the set with a tool bag back then. Makita was the first of the tool companies to go from a 2-pole motor to 4-pole brushless motor and delivered outstanding torque and battery life. Their charger is also quicker than most because they can charge at higher voltage rates due to the charger having a fan that circulates air completely through a chamber in the battery. It's pretty ingenious as charging isn't what harms the battery, the heat from charging is what does that, so they eliminated the heat. From dead to full charge is 10 minutes, and it lasts hours. I'll only buy Makita from now on.

The plus side here is that we all become a statistic of denial, and the approval rate plummets. They cite the 94% approval rate as a reason to leave the current system in place. If that number fell to say, 0.5% there is a higher chance of change happening. I'm all in for this as I plan on moving out of NJ in the next few years anyway. If I'm asked why I was denied I'll just refer to "those commies in Jersey"

That's a lot of cat piss man

I wasn't serious, hence the wink

I conceal mine by leaving it the safe while carrying a different gun

Just use an air gun. That's what I do

Captains wheel for unlocking

Actually, this discussion was originally about what the price can be expected to be for a muzzle brake. I believe you've missed my point. That was said for the purpose of reiterating my belief in them and that they do serve a purpose even in a .223/5.56. You've said that they aren't needed and that proper hand placement and control is better served while replacing the cost of the brake with ammo for practice. I agree practice is the best addition to any firearm, however I disagree that a brake is wasted on this caliber. If that were truly the case, it wouldn't be such a hot commodity among all types of shooters, LEO/military includes.

What's a mall? Is that where Amazon started?

So I suppose all the tests of measuring muzzle rise and recoil are all b.s.? I mean only 90% of AR's have some kind of muzzle brake on them. I personally have tried many different styles of muzzle brakes from the YHM phantom, to Surefire, to the local guy - Tech Ops T01, and I see a difference in most of them. Just because you CAN shoot a .223 without a brake, doesn't make them less effective. I personally won't ever shoot an AR without a brake again.
