Troubleshooting A5 Other FTF
It appears to me that the timing is screwed up. (A)Try a lighter BCG, (B) snip off a coil or two from the buffer spring, (C) use a lighter buffer. The dwell time, the amount of time the gasses push BCG back and the next round is stripped off and chambered is out of whack. Although pressure is higher in short gas systems, the amount of time the pressure is applied is shorter, so all the moving parts need to be light enough to get pushed back into the extension all the way. Just for kicks, double check the gas system and make sure there are no leaks. Look for carbon build up. Along those lines, it's also possible the gas block is misaligned, restricting full pressure to the rest of the system. EDIT: You can try to diagnose short stroking by loading a single round. If the bolt does not hold open, the BCG is not traveling far enough back to get caught in the catch.

Don't count your chickens until the midterm elections have hatched. Things could go either way. In any event, nobody is going to sell the whatever they grossly over paid for unless they are strapped for cash. They've already missed the boat. That is, unless there is a second post midterm boat.- Power Outage 8-11-21
Exactly my point. A whole house battery bank can also be connected to an ABT.- Power Outage 8-11-21
It's not just you. I have seen a few Generac exterior mounted battery banks pop up on houses over the past couple of years. Mostly on million dollar + homes. I guess the rules are different for wealthy folks. A prohibition on storing solar generated power is utterly ridiculous. The backfeed argument is preposterous, otherwise nobody would be allowed to hook up whole house gas-diesel-ng powered generators.- Power Outage 8-11-21
One of my lawn accounts is in the same neighborhood as me, he sells residential and commercial solar power systems. The customer has solar panels on his roof, makes sense, right. Practice what you preach. Today, when I opened the gate to the back yard, there was a big 'ol 7kW wheeled generator in my way. It was plugged into an inlet that ostensibly goes to a transfer switch in the garage.- Power Outage 8-11-21
Whelp, first world status was nice while it lasted. I wonder what power distro stations are on fire. At around 1815, power went out then came right back on at 60V. That lasted about 30 minutes, then, POP, all out. JCP&L estimates restoration by 2100. We'll see.- Daily humor thread
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father thought about his son's request and told him that he'd consider offering him a deal, "Son, you bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about you using the car." The boy thought about his father's offer and decided he'd take the deal, so they agreed. After about six weeks of observing the changes in his son's behavior the father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you've been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed that you still haven't cut your hair"; to which the son replied, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about our deal, and I've learned from my Bible studies that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and that even Jesus probably had long hair so I don't think cutting my hair should be part of our deal". His father then replied, "Well son, did you not also learn from your Bible studies that these men walked everywhere they went?"- John Deere X500 Tractor mower with powerflow grass leaf pickup.
Commercial 48 mowers typically run a 15 or 17hp motor, 25hp on a 48" deck is practically a brush hog. Kawasaki engines run forever as long as you change the oil.- PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?
So could you, yet, here you are, on a high horse. Put the bottle away and sleep it off. Grumpy!!! This thread serves a very important purpose. We, the right thinking people that recognize Taylor Pork Roll for what it is, are here to fight the anarchists who insist on clinging to a 115 year old falsehood. If we let these wingnuts have their way, anarchy will break out. Do you want anarchy!?!? Well, do you!? That's what I thought. So, you see, we actually are doing very important work here.- Daily humor thread

Found posted on a tree at a national park NOTICE TO HIKERS, HUNTERS AND ALL WHO FREQUENT THE FOREST Due to the frequency of human – bear encounters it is advised that all persons wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as to give advance warning to any bears that may be close by so you don’t take them by surprise. It is also advised to carry “Pepper Spray” in case of an encounter with a bear. Always be alert for fresh bear activity and be able to tell the difference between Black Bear and Grizzly Bear feces. Black bear feces contain lots of berry seeds and may have rodent fur in it. Grizzly feces have bells in it and smells like pepper.- Need an AR!!!!
What do you consider cheap for an AR-10?- Need an AR!!!!
You are correct. It's worth noting, DPMS dominates about 80% of the market. Waaay easier to build a DPMS pattern. Cheaper too.- Need an AR!!!!
It can be done. The 10 is little different than the 15, you can always build your own. Many of the 15 parts are interchangeable and reasonably priced, however, sourcing certain items specific to the 10 could take some time. It depends on the level of quality you would be satisfied with. If I were you, I'd start with Midway USA, they seem to have a good inventory, JSE Surplus and Joe Bob Outfitters are worth looking at too.- PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?
There are a couple diners around me that call it ham. I'll have to remember to bring a sharpie with me next time I go. I'm a very helpful proofreader.- NWS TORNADO WARNING 7/29 - 7:20PM
We had a couple periods of heavy rain and wind, the thunder was ominous at times, but no funnel clouds.- NWS TORNADO WARNING 7/29 - 7:20PM
A tornado warning from NWS just popped up on my phone. Wondering who else got the memo. Emergency Alert NWS TORNADO WARNING in this area until 7:45pm EDT. Take shelter now, check media. Type: Extreme Alert- grave stone cleaner
HD, Lowe's etc all carry a cleaner for granite counter tops . I imagine it is the safest cleaner to use since it's made for granite. I cant vouch for what the chemicals will to the the grass.- WTS 400 rounds 9mm 115G (Can Ship)
This ammo is available at .38cpr at numerous places. If you will match that price, a fair market value of $152.00for the lot, we can make a deal. .65cpr is just too high.- Need advice with CFE223
If the load is producing repeatable accuracy that you are okay with, then leave it be. If you think you can do better, then push the envelope. Was the highest load you worked up at max according to the reloading manual you are using?- Need an AR!!!!

- Women’s shotgun?
the load makes all the difference in recoil. It determines how much energy is needed to push the shot at a certain velocity. A 3", 1 7/8 oz, #6 ,12GA 1200 fps turkey load kicks a helluva lot more than a 2 3/4" 1oz 1100 fps trap load. But, a speedy 1300 fps 2 3/4, 1oz, #7.5 handicap trap load will kick about the same as the turkey load - Post Scarcity Shopping Wish Lists
