  1. 458 SOCOM seems to have quite the thump... https://www.facebook.com/100004236633600/posts/2182992098518657/?d=n
  2. Just let me know. Bushings aren't expensive and I can have them in two days. Good luck with your build.
  3. I have a barrel vise but I probably don't have a bushing that will fit your barrel. I also have a torque wrench. I'd be happy to host your work except for those missing tools. Need bushing, barrel nut wrench and gauges. I'll have the gauges one day because I use HS gauges but I buy the barrel bushings as needed.
  4. Legion, I'll take the 44 dies, just need to figure out a time and place to meet up with it being holiday weekend and all.
  5. I put this on my hunting rifle and took it to the range to zero. I took it hunting once and I don’t care for the long eye relief stuff so I’m switching to a LPVO. Need to get rid of this to get a rail and some rings for the new scope. This will include a set of Vortex medium rings. $125 ftf in or around Memphis. If you want it shipped, we can arrange that for actual cost.
  6. I need to find a time to get the 44 dies from you.
  7. The ATF is full of contradictions.
  8. It’s a Luger with the stock attached.
  9. The Rivian on Hell's Gate was really impressive.
  10. I think that people don't understand that this is not the first time that electric and ICE vehicles were in major battle for market share. In the early 20th century, ICE and electric cars were both trying to gain popularity over horses. Infrastructure was easier to build out for ICE engines and greater range was achievable more easily but electric was cleaner and nicer to drive. We all know that ICE won out. And so development of electric stalled for almost 80 years. Electric has come a LONG way in the past two decades without major investment into development or infrastructure. With all of the big companies getting behind it, we are going to see even more development and advancement and very quickly. I'm not opposed to electric. But we have a ways to go before we will see it replace ICE completely. Here is my personal take on what needs to happen for that day to arrive. 1. Infrastructure/range. People aren't going to be opposed to adding an hour to a long distance trip. But they are going to need those stations to be on their route and not have to majorly alter a route to get there. I put range in here because it goes hand in hand. The fewer stops you need to make, the better. Back on the time thing, sure, you can fill up for your daily commute in 5 minutes. But traveling with family on long distance trips, that's rarely a 5 minute stop. It's a 15 or twenty minute stop for the women and kids to go to the bathroom and buy some drinks and snacks. 2. Repair costs. If you kill an engine in most modern vehicles, you can usually buy good parts for $1500ish on average. Pay a shop for install and we are talking about three to five thousand installed. That engine was likely good for 200,000 miles plus if you did proper maintenance. Battery replacement needs to be similar. If that means that a battery is good for 100,000 miles, it needs to be 1500-2500 installed, so that over the same mileage, the same amount of repairs cost similar. As long as EVs are more expensive to repair over the life, they are going to have a hard time completely killing ICE vehicles. Europe has already put mandates in place for no new ICE vehicle sales by a certain date (I think its 2030 or 2035). Most of the major manufacturers sell in Europe too so they will be shifting a majority of their US market production to electric. Unless you are 75 or older, it's likely to happen in your lifetime that you cannot go to a new car dealer in the US and buy an ICE vehicle.
  11. But if a company is trying to be really safe, it's not a stretch.
  12. It very possibly could be them just covering their butt. I don't know how those rounds are made so I can't say for sure.
  13. Or just read my post above...
  14. TN Code 39-17-1304
  15. Why do you need a gun? The purpose is kill someone. You can legally buy a canon, but, why? You sound just like all of the antis.
  16. I try not to use the dremel if I can avoid it.
  17. I go to a lot of estate sales and I collect craftsman tools, and if they are cheap enough, other made in US brands. One of the things I love finding is modified or homemade tools. I always wonder what job the owner was doing that he needed whatever I'm looking at.
  18. I'm an expert in not being an expert.
  19. I could make the argument that none of it is "required." But I'm going to give myself the best chance that I can for the situations that may arise. One that I can give off the top of my head is leaving a store at 11pm and locking up out the door on the dark side of the building. One of us always has a light out scanning.
  20. Do you a carry a knife? Lights are equally as useful for daily life. I seem to always find the dark spot in the brightest areas.
  21. Please provide an example. This is where you lose me.
  22. You can be wrong, I'm okay with it.
  23. Except you don't need a light on a pistol so...
  24. Oh I am definitely dumber. But thanks!
