Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
Well, if that's how Peel wants to roll, so be it. We should be supportive of her lifestyle choices, we are an all accepting group here, mostly, sorta.

Jeez @Mrs. Peel , first you start shoot'n gunz, now your surfing tire rack. What's next, are you going to take up chewing tobacco and spitting too? Are you secretly wrenching your own cars?

I wonder if black rifles or 22lr can be used an indicator for how things will go in November.

The NRA is in trouble $$$
Didn't Trump say something about deregulating, or changing the regulations in the insurance industry where people could buy health insurance out of state. As it is now, insurance companies have the states locked up tight, not exactly a monopoly but a protected market. If shops like your backyard FFL could get insurance from a 2A friendly insurer out of state, they'd still be i business. So, this is a stark example of how blue states use the insurance industry to exercise political control.

Prices of Black Rifles
I went and reviewed the 2forAR ad, did not see where $1,200.00 invested in each was mentioned. That may have happened in PM, but not seen in thread.

Prices of Black Rifles
I don't see any AR's being sold for $250.00, which would be half the current going price of an average new PSA basic rifle. Here's the rub. Why buy a used rifle for $400.00 that someone (over)paid $800.00 for in 2014, when you can buy a brand spanking new entry level rifle for about $450.00. The same can be applied to a LWRC rifle. If someone bought a $2,000.00 LWRC for $3,500.00 in 2014, well, it sucks to be them. They may get $1,400.00 for it today if they are lucky, but that's still $1,000.00 more than $400.00.

Prices of Black Rifles
A new what can be found for less than $400.00? A used PSA Freedom Rifle is maybe worth about $400.00, Good luck trying to find a used LWRC or Noveski AR for $400.00. My grandmother used to tell me "people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing". If all you see is a black rifle when you look at my SPR, that I spec'd and built, and told me it's only worth $400.00 I'd just laugh and walk away. Not even worth arguing about because the person on the other end would have to know the difference between a pos and a quality rig. . A rifle is worth the quality of the components put into it. Just the match grade barrel and Geissele 2 stage fire control group in my SPR are worth well over $400.00. Now, I'm not delusional, I put about $1,700.00 into my SPR but expect that it would sell for around $1,200.00 no problem to a serious buyer, because it has all the right stuff under the hood that would still cost more than that to build or buy today. Besides, it has a proven track record of being a .25 moa rifle. Anyway, it's a mute point cuz I'm ain't never selling that bitch. It was my first build, I hit it out of the park, and she's soooooo sexy. Anyway, the point is, yeah, there are people who panic bought basic ARs at peak prices and some are clueless as to actual market value as time goes on and the political climate changes. But that does not make every AR worth $400.00.

The NRA is in trouble $$$
Don't blame the OP. The leftist MSM is promoting the story pretty much the same as the thread title, and they are doing it to make the NRA look weak and vulnerable. The OP has presented the story the same as it's been presented by members in the other gun forums. The bottom line though, Cuomo and his minions are an existential threat to the NRA operating in NY. The cost to defend against this liberal agenda amounts to a small fortune. If Cuomo is not put in check, the NRA will cease to exist in NY. btw, this should come as no surprise. This anti-NRA campaign is being funded by Bloomberg.

The NRA is in trouble $$$
The NRA is not going broke any time soon. The NRA filed a lawsuit against the state of NY and Cuomo because they are preventing them from conducting lawful business in the state. Cuomo pressured insurance and financial institutions to stop doing business with the NRA. This means the NRA cannot contract insurance for Carry Guard, they cannot get insurance for media production, they can't even get a basic checking account to pay their employees. Cuomo based his attack on the NRA mainly on carry guard, a product that helps with legal fees for defendants in self defense cases. Cuomo argues that it's illegal to insure people in criminal defense cases. Which tells you, anyone who uses a firearm for self defense in NY is a criminal in Cuomo's opinion. This will keep going up the judicial ladder until NY's laws are struck down by a higher court. The actions of Cuomo and his minions are purely to drain money from the NRA as fast as they can, and to make doing business in NY as difficult as possible.

Peel... There is the ban hammer, and then there is the Taylor ban HAMmer. The latter is impotent compared to the former.

KFC or Popeyes
About 9 years ago I had Kennedy's chicken in So. Plainfield. It was definitely some of the best chicken I'd ever had. Only problem is, I had about a 1:10 chance of getting shot or caught up in a fight since the restaurant was lousy with Bloods. It's a hot spot for gang violence.

KFC or Popeyes
Yep. The Popeye's in Eatontown is like that. Chicken 50/50 chance you will get a good meal. everything else is overcooked. The spicy curly fries are the cat's ass though.

I'm Not a Benchrest Shooter But... DAMN!!!
That grouping took a lot of skill and concentration to produce, but I have to say, I think a little bit of good luck was involved too. Like you said, a lot happens between the muzzle and the target out there 1000 yards away.

Yep, this really puts a wrench in the works. I've been helping a disabled Vietnam vet paint his house and we've not had many safe days where I was free to work.

Need PC advice from a computer guru
I have used that method for, at least, 25 years (I learned to do it that way when I worked at Bell Labs), and I've never once had a problem. Can you give an example of how oil on the fingertip has damaged a computer? Do the oils on fingertips somehow react with the oils in the heatsink compound, aka heatsink grease? The only way one could encounter a problem spreading by fingertip is if they just finished some gardening and didn't wash their hands and got globs of dirt on the processor, or applied too much and did not spread it evenly resulting in large air pockets. As long as your hands are clean, and you spread a light, even coating to both the CPU and heat sink, and firmly seat the heatsink, you will not have any problems. But, if you want to stick a razor blade inside your computer case, where nothing could possibly go wrong, then go for it.

Even the single serving size is 3x more than is needed. My method is to put a small amount on my fingertip and smear it on the CPU, whatever is left over (on my fingertip) gets smeared on the heatsink. Basically the same way you would glue two pieces of wood together.
