I imagine I beat a few of us in the area.

None at all. I have it on a Madd Mac’s mount but never tried it with the stock rail. It’s a good bit lower to the gun though.

Yeah, I’ll own the clickbait on this one….

My Dead Air Mask that is….. I just picked up the Ruger Precision Rimfire the other day from a member and got the 22/45 a while back as a planned host for the Mask. I’m still waiting on my scope to come in but it’s safe to say I’m in .22lr heaven.

ad closed Wanted : SWFA SS 10x42

Found one. -
As the title says, I’m looking for a 10x SS scope. I bought a 10x a while back and love it on my 6.5 Creedmoor. I’m now looking for one to put on my newly acquire ruger precision rim fire. I see they do have them in stock but a used deal would suit me better.

I’ll take it. -
I bought this mic a few months ago and haven’t even used it more than an hour. Basically brand new with the box. Pics to come. $310 shipped or $300 local in the Memphis area.

I don’t believe that is limited to young people. I think it’s many people. Possibly even a majority of us.

Wives, Daughters, Girlfriends Should Always Carry
maroonandwhite replied to AuEagle's topic in General Chat
I've struggled with this for years with my wife. She is definitely concerned with "self protection" but less so on the armed front. She can shoot fairly and effectively (that's relative of course) shoot a handgun but has no real interest in getting advanced training either from myself or a third party. We finally had the conversation of their being certain instances where she does carry and certain ones she doesn't. Example: I don't want her to be in a situation where she may feel led to employ a firearm in our crowded church on a Sunday morning if the need arose. I'm there as well as many others who can handle the offense. She doesn't have the training to do that safely and effectively BUT does have a knowledge on what to do in those situations. She DOES however carry on normal work days and many other instances where there is little chance of that type of collateral damage from a poor decision. I wish I could convince her to do more but it hasn't happed over 12 years so it probably isn't haha. That said, there are MANY MANY people that I have instructed on firearm basics where my end recommendation was for them to not carry until they either practiced a good bit more or sought out training. I may catch flack for that from some but I don't want my loved ones and friends in a position of a bad shoot or hurting bystanders over a false sense of ability. -
I’d guess it’s probably powder coated from the factory. That said, there isn’t much Krylon won’t stick to. If you just want to cover bare metal indoors. That’s what I’d use.

I keep a couple of medicine bottles filled with cotton balls rolled in petroleum jelly. They make great fire starters and burn much longer than cotton or dryer lint alone.

school shooting in Nashville at the Covenant School
maroonandwhite replied to FUJIMO's topic in General Chat
I’m continually amazed at how people can distort the Bible to this degree. He and his supporters clearly haven’t read it. -

He actually seemed to call himself black Jesus if I understood it correctly. -

Pearson actually seemed to do the same thing. Granted I haven’t heard him speak much outside of the latest videos, it does seem to be somewhat of a show. -
When we were building our house back in 2016 (West TN) this was laying in my driveway as I was walking back. I assume this is an Alligator snapping turtle???

It’s hosted by Double Tap Training Grounds in Calera. Looks like they have a pretty cool indoor shoot house. -

WPS One Man Room Clearing - Anyone taken it?
maroonandwhite replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Training Discussions
There are still spots available…. It’s more expensive due to John teaching but I’ve just decided I’m ok paying it to scratch my itch to meet him. -
I am signed up to take the Warrior Poet Society - One Man Room Clearing class in a couple weeks. I’m a bit of a John Lovell fanboy so am excited to finally take a course taught by him. I’ve taken instruction from his lead trainer Paul Perkerson in the past so if it’s anything like his instruction, it’ll be money well spent. I’m curious if any of you have taken this course or others from WPS and would like to share some thoughts. Heck, maybe one of you is also signed up for this one. Getting to simulate fights with sim rounds is probably going to be rather eye opening.

Mesh Router without cloud dependence?
maroonandwhite replied to maroonandwhite's topic in General Chat
So QoS is basically preset to three levels of priority from high to low.. Gaming, streaming, normal. You can set each device to one of those three. That’s basically the extent of QoS. The guest network is fairly simple as well. You can leave it on or choose to turn it on for a set period of time. This is a pretty neat feature that’s quickly done in the app. It also has HomeKit enabled with a recent update. It basically pairs the router with the homekit hubs and provides different levels of security for those homekit IoT devices. The only device I have that falls into this category is my Ecobee thermostat. Basically you can set it not allow the individual devices to connect to the internet, only connect to HomeKit approved services, or no restrictions at all. Oddly enough, if you enable the HomeKit integration, you can’t use mesh functionality. There is a dedicated IoT network option along with three other extra SSID’s available. I didn’t see the need for these in my use. Band steering is enabled by default and it also has router steering if you were to go to mesh later on. The screen is also a really cool feature. The information is of course boring but it manages to make download and upload speeds look cool and appealing. Truthfully, I think some of the other consumer routers may offer more network filtering and security features but so far the hardware of this router seem to live up to the hype. My I’m home coverage and speeds are definitely improved over the prior system and even more so better than the Starlink router alone. As I said before, I’m very happy with it but will most definitely be switching to Unifi at the next model release. -

Got the Alien in today. While the QoS features and guest network features are limited, they are good enough and it does seem to have much better coverage than my previous system without all of the handoff issues. Time will tell but initial impressions are good. I’ll still probably upgrade to the Unifi DM stuff once they release a new model. -

Yeah I actually tested it this morning with a bogus email account and couldn’t get the app to block with those domains. Apparently some have success with that approach and some don’t. I successfully blocked it in the browser though. The easy was to do it would be to visit it, look at the DNS logs to see what it requested, then block those as well. As you said though 25 wasn’t enough.
