Good thing that one didn't pass. It has been talked about that the whole process was sort of a trap... what they ended up passing was about 118 pages, and didn't have anything for big Pharma, or any of the other pork that the Dims stuffed in there just before the vote. I think this one...

This is what I'm disagreeing with, not you... That's like paying criminals to not rob you....

ah, yes.... I should have known that... my old age is showing... those are really slick revolvers, if I remember correctly the articles I've read about them... Do those eject spent brass, or just extract it?

Yes... just smaller all around for a .308 The receiver will accept nearly all parts for an AR15.... The AR10 is considerably larger and beefier, which makes for a heavier rifle. My AR10 weighs probably 10 pounds, perhaps more... My SFAR weighs right around 7 pounds... both of them have 20"...

Are those High Standards?

hahahaha

back to the OP... why do YOU think he wants to abolish it? wait a minute, the corn is popping.... :LOL:

actually, I was looking into this.... the money taken from SS was paid back by the government. apparently, according to the experts, the reason SS is becoming insolvent is because of the growing number of people collecting it. We apparently are living longer than "they" had planned for...

this is a highly complex issue, that I don't understand more than a smidge.... but apparently congress sees things like Social Security payments as something that can only be paid through borrowing more money.... because THEY SPENT IT ALL already. Money that we as taxpayers INVESTED into...

Apparently, the left, and congress are ok spending like drunken sailors, but they want the debt ceiling to be reinstated at the start of Trump's presidency. He is being castigated for wanting to do exactly what they have been doing for the past 4 years, at least.

a quote from the BBC Since first setting a debt limit of $45bn in 1939, the debt ceiling has been raised 103 times. The last time the debt ceiling was reached, in January 2023, the figure stood at $31.4 trillion. Under a deal reached in June that same year, Congress suspended the debt ceiling...

I heard someone online last evening that says that right now, there is no debt ceiling. It was suspended back in 2023, IIRC. They gave a convincing reason why he wants to stop it for now, but I can't remember what it was... a goober search is needed....

I'm trying to work up a good load in my new-to-me Ruger SFAR... a smaller frame AR in .308. Full .308 goodness out of an AR-15 size (and weight) platform. Good stuff. Also, an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel. It's a really neat little cartridge, with a little more power than the 5.56mm.... this one...

I'll have to check that out when I get home.... my work's firewall won't allow me to look at "dangerous" things. I can't even get on Cabela's website here... silly.

Yes... exactly

this is what the conventional chrono's look like. You mount them on a tripod, and set them out in front of the shooting bench, about 10-15 feet away. You have to align it with your line of fire and the target, so that you shoot across the top of it, lengthwise, through the skyscreens. It's...

I almost stole it. Brand new, I think they sell for just under $500. The guy I bought it from bought a really nice carrying case (think Pelican quality) and he got the little orange tripod that I guess doesn't normally come with it.. He bought it and never used it... he decided to go another...

I guess I don't understand..... supposedly, the mark is something that you voluntarily accept, all the while knowing that it is against God. I don't know anyone that would willingly accept a mark, knowing that. Many of you act like somone is going to sneak up behind you, hold you down, and...

Reviving this almost dormant thread.... I just got a new tool for my load testing.... I've used regular chronographs for velocity measurements when working up loads... this is relatively new to chronographs.... it's an actual doppler technology radar unit. It's supposed to be quite a bit more...

good grief...
