Private Range. I still need to get qualified for 600 AND AP. What is the qual for AP if I don't shoot a match?

I guess now that I'm carrying a Glock clone, I oughta plan a trip there at some point.

For those complaining about shipping, look into Brownell's Edge. It's their version of prime. It's half the cost of Amazon Prime (less actually) but just as good. If you buy more than a few times a year, it will save you money!

Belt loops are used for bump fire. We must ban them!

They withdrew.

Quick note for everyone. The objective itself isn't 68mm but rather that's the outside diameter. The objective is (or should be) 56mm. It's still a large diameter but not as big as it sounds when you use the OD.

Indeed! I run through all of those checks. I also check to make sure that the BCG doesn't bottom out during travel. Pin gauge sets are one of the next things up on my list.

Unfortunately, those are just more examples of negligence. I also agree with what Deerslayer said below. I don't know what their training entails and I'm not sure if that's the problem, ego is the problem or if it goes back to that complacency thing. Or if all three come into play. The DEA agent that shot his foot in the classroom, it was an ego thing. But I don't know. I know that a lot of them need to take it more seriously.

I've invested heavily in AR specific tools over the past year or so and increased my knowledge a good bit. I'm planning some armorer's classes in the future to take my understanding of the systems even further. I guess a lot of my friends know that so they've been asking me for help in assembling kits or replacing parts or diagnosing issues. Something that I've come across a lot of recently are headspace issues and receiver extension issues. I had to send a bolt back that wouldn't close on a 5.56 go gauge in any barrel that I had. The company was great about it and they replaced it without issue. I also had a friend bring a rifle by that had the same problem. It was a home built setup that he bought second hand from a shop. Luckily the shop owner knew who made the bolt and took care of it. Another rifle was a complete upper from a reputable company. The rifle headspaced fine but using one of my tools, I noticed that something was off between the receiver and the barrel extension. Or so I thought. I thought maybe the extension was clocked wrong inside the receiver. Even though it functioned fine, you could see wear on the lugs of the bolt where they were having to push past a bind to lock into place correctly. On further inspection, it appeared that the barrel extension lugs were machined poorly and had little tabs that were causing the binding. The company asked for pictures and then asked for it back. They replaced the barrel and sent everything back quickly and it was fantastic. I ran it through an inspection and everything checked out great. Most of these were pre-panic rifles and each one had some small issue. With the current state of things, check your parts before you get out and run your rifles. I'm worried about QC dropping even with the best names out there. And if you are in the Memphis area and want or need anything checked out, I'm happy to help. I'm not a gunsmith and I will happily admit that I don't know everything but I know a good bit and I enjoy doing this stuff. (Also, since I'm not a gunsmith, I don't charge anything. It's purely a hobby for me at this point.)

Do you ever do work as a firearms instructor? I do. I work with complete and total beginners. It is my experience that it is much easier to work with them when you are using Glock style pistols. You are removing as many "complications" from the equation as possible. It simplifies the process for them and helps to put their mind at ease. We don't do any work with fully loaded magazines. The thing is, you have to teach safety from the get go. Its the first thing we cover in a class and the last thing we talk about as we part ways.

I've never said otherwise. Gun handling is not for everyone. But just because some people shouldn't own them, doesn't mean that they don't still have that right.

Striker guns with no safety is NOT the issue. There are plenty of videos of people shooting themselves or having an ND with 1911s and revolvers and whatever else. Also, what you witnessed was an ND, not an AD.

The warm water model comes with a t fitting and a hose. You’re supposed to drill into the back of the vanity but I routed around the front and it stays hidden enough. The issue is that it takes longer than a bumwash for the water to get hot. You can help that along by running the hot water in the sink while you drop the kids off and it should be warm by the time cleanup starts.

I bought the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 for myself because I thought hot water would make a difference. Turns out, it takes a long time for water to get hot so most of the time it’s cold water coming out.

I'm not in this for the laughs, I'm just here to spread the good word. A sparkling sphincter brings a profound happiness that you just don't get from scraping your split level with tree carcass.

I'm going to give my testimony. I've always been a little bi(det)-curious. But as a confident heterosexual male, I was skeptical about anything nearing my no-no hole. The stink star just isn't something that I want penetrated and having high pressure water aimed that direction seemed a good way to get violated. And it's not like there are an abundance of bumguns out in the world for the general public to inspect or even try. So I stayed in the dark, unaware of the clean feeling that my chocolate faucet was missing out on. Earlier this year my elderly mother had a UTI that traveled up into her kidneys and nearly killed her by means of sepsis. After she was discharged from the hospital she was given a followup appointment at a local urologist. I took a long lunch and picked her up from the house and delivered her to her appointment. Because of Covid, I stayed in the car. After a while, it became apparent that she was still in her appointment and unable to answer the phone (they were doing a biopsy of something) and I was about fill my pants with some form of poop demon. I could no longer afford to wait on her and hope that we made it back to the house. This was happening where I was whether it was in the car or hopefully I could make it into the doc's office. After waiting on the counter staff in the office for what seemed an eternity, I made it into the bathroom just in time to get hovered before all hell broke loose. After exorcizing my demons, I noted that my butt cheeks had gotten rather warm. After reading some of the wall plaques and doing a quick google, I discovered that I was sitting on a $1500 bidet seat. It was full featured with all of the bells and whistles. It was a heated seat. It has adjustable power front and rear washes with adjustable temperature control. It even has a blow dryer built in for the grand finale. Well, it's not every day that you sit down on a 1500 dollar toilet seat so who am I to pass up the opportunity to live like the wealthy? I was blown away. I grabbed a piece of peasant paper and took a single pass at my sin socket and found it to be not only completely clean but completely dry. I stood up with a balloon knot that had been cleaned and dried in luxury in a way that nothing short of an after poo shower can provide. I buckled up my belt and left that bathroom with my head held high. I immediately started googling bidets. But knowing that I can't afford a 1500 dollar toilet seat, I looked to more economical units. Within a week, I had my own installed at the house for under 70 bucks. While it doesn't have the heated seat or the blow dryer, it's been quite the workhorse for me. I've spent every moment since trying to ensure that I only poo at home, although installing a bidet at work is on the horizon. I preach the gospel of the shiny hiney whenever and wherever I can. Do yourselves a favor gentlemen, install a bidet!

As someone that was shown the way of the bidet earlier this year and immediately made the switch, I've been preaching the gospel of the clean booty ever since.

I have a 401k through work. I have no other forms of savings or retirement account. But I found Robinhood and Stash a while back and decided to give them a go. I put 5 bucks into each every week. My stash account automatically invests that into a few different ETFs. Robinhood, the money sits until I decide what stock to buy. I usually only buy a few shares and only companies that I like or use. I'm not trying to get rich or anything and I'm really not even "investing" in a traditional sense. I'm just setting some money aside in a hidden place until I die.

you broke your tip!

I had an AR firing pin tip break off one time. I contacted the manufacturer of the BCG and they told me that they had a bad batch of pins. They mailed me a new one and its been fine since. Pull the bolt apart and check the pin. If others are already having the same issue, it's a good place to start.

But at least its a system that is actually in place.

I watched something about this recently. At least one state recently reinstated or legalized "physician assisted suicide." They go through a pretty significant process of it needing to be a confirmed terminal diagnosis, followed by time with a therapist of some sort before it can be signed off on. At that point, the physician prescribes a series of pills to put you to sleep, painlessly, forever. The woman in the documentary or news piece or whatever it was had a celebration of life party and then once everyone left, she took her pills and passed peacefully. They had the funeral quickly after since it was all planned.

Mane!

They did catch his earlier. But they also credit his diet with some of his ability to survive. He also had the best doctors in the world (including a stint in Memphis for a transplant).
