  1. All four of these are of the same incident, and no mention of the contractors that were shot dragged and hung on a bridge and set on fire now does it?  No mention of the FACT, that every window was a potential snipers nest, every car had a potential of blowing up whether manned or not and no mention of the FACT that every person could blow up in front of you at any moment.  The thing is, our government put them in place because they did not want to give our soldiers a ROE that would allow them to protect dignitaries and other high value visitors to Iraq.  I am not excusing actions like that by any means but can understand how something like that happens.
  2. All I did was stand on the base with a foot on each side while torquing the barrel nut, quite easy really. But that was because my bench was still drying from when I redid the top. Much easier with a vice to be sure but it can be done. The thing is,I wonder just how important the whole torque thing really is seeing as this system is just hand tight: https://www.coppercustom.com/shop/parts-kits/dolos-ar15-quick-change-barrel-system/
  3. Though I am careful about drinking possibly contaminated water/substances or knowingly coming into contact with known diseases I am of the mind that we are overly using antibacterial soaps and hand cleaners and setting ourselves up for a pandemic we will have no natural defense for. I think some of these germs are actually good for us, specially when young so we can build up antibodies to protect against worse germs.
  4. I can vouch for this, when a CIC would visit us all our weapons had to be stowed, and even the helicopters had to be disarmed. And we even liked one of them :)
  5. Unfortunately it was bound to happen, with all the airlines refusing to stop flight in and out of the infected area it was only a matter of time.  I wonder if they have notified the rest of the passengers on his flight home?
  6. It says more about our society than it does the office, way too many crazies out there.
  7. Ok, she doesn't have to shoot a lick but the rest still stands.
  8. At the very least a warning shot into the grass as he approached the WH.  If after that escalation an intruder persists then he takes the risk of getting shot into his own hands.
  9. Yea, but she's hot; So will look good on tv when she is sued and her business quadruples in size and popularity.  Looking forward  to seeing her making commercials to make her business even bigger.
  10. I am the opposite, I hate those front sight gas blocks.  I would much rather go with  a folding BUIS rather than that fixed sight.  But since I always go with some type of optic, the front sight is pretty useless for me so would rather just have a flat top.  I honestly don't see the need or draw for another AR line, there are so many out there that I question its viability.  Maybe if this is your first AR, but if you have one already and have gone to builds then this is just another AR; nothing special.
  11. I never use any lube on my pistol...well 9mm, .40 and .45 cases. Those calibers have carbide dies and never used lube on them , and as yet haven't stuck a case. I did stick a 300Blk case which I failed to lube but that is my only one. Oh, and my spray is the Lyman brand spray lube so that may be another difference.
  12. In route to/from the dam, be sure to stop by The Dillinger in Boulder City, great little burger joint and its prices are much better than any Vegas restaurant. Decent beer too, specially during happy hour.
  13. Mine arrived Friday, replaced the scope and dry fired a couple times with no perceivable difference. Will have to fire off a few to really make sure but I dont think there will be any issues.
  14. Downloaded; maybe if we can get the word out more places will be reported and avoided. Apps like this need to be developed (more features)and supported by as many 2a supporters as possible to make an impact on anti-gun places.
  15. I got a couple of the battery powered fly swatters when Harbor Freight had free coupons for them. The smell of a bug being zapped is just plain satisfying, and not as bad as squishing them.
  16. I thought the same thing back in the 90s, but there has been vast improvements in modern rounds and tests like this are hard to refute:
  17. While I can't vouch for the validity of this particular report, I have read many which reach much the same conclusion. With modern ammunition, caliber is second to shot placement. Most decent SD centerfire handgun ammo has a negligible difference in penetration.
  18. Probably a large Federal grant for you know who's Green Initiative. So it wasn't out of our pockets it was out of our kid's kids pockets.
  19. So far 300Blk, .270 and .308; but I am sure 30-06 would work fine. Have you cleaned out your dies? Sometimes old lube builds up and may make it stick.
  20. I have the same thing here in Clarksville, and though it may be legal you may want to see what the neighbors think about that. Most of TN is pro hunting but remember that if the deer happens to get into the neighbor's property you need their permission to retrieve. And they may either not give it or not want to have bambi die in front of their kids. Of course, they may be tired of having the deer messing with their gardens and really enjoy venison.
  21. I would do the same, but the question stands; as a reserve LEO you would think he would be carrying at all times.
  22. That was my first though, why a rifle vs a gun?  I don't know for sure, but I bet he was outside when it started and he ran in with his rifle. 
  23. Lets hope responders copycat that deputy too.
  24. I asked the same thing out here in Clarksville.  I registered my travel trailer but have since let the plate expire because its probably in its final resting place.  I was told that if you are from out of state, then they follow your states laws, so they will not hassle you anymore than normal.  I had been stopped once because my boat trailer lights were not connected but they didn't ask about the trailer (in NC boat trailers are registered) and all he had me do is check the connector which had the ground wire come loose.
  25. Because he is a muslim and we don't want to disparage him.
