First Mother's Day with Mom gone

 Definitely different.

I should note that Britain had a bunch of council elections, and the Labour Party and the Tory Party(to a lesser extent)

got their asses kicked, which is causing lots of upset and wailing, and traitors wondering what's going to happen to them when they can't hide behind that seat anymore?

I'd hope tar & feathers at the least,  and some of the bastards should become tree or lamppost decorations, but probably no such luck.

There are several pieces on it here, and lots more out there if you want to search around.  Which also has this piece of disgustingness:
HAVE last week’s local council elections brought Islamic blasphemy laws one step closer? Dr Gavin Ashenden argues that they have. He says the clearest message to come from the results is that ‘the electoral muscle of Muslim communities’ can act as a veto to remove parties from power.

He refers to Nazi Germany to explain how this can happen. It is the best example, he argues. Just 12 per cent of the population belonging to the Nazi party resulted in Hitler’s winning path through democratic means. The way our democratic voting system works means that single blocks voting together can swing an election one way or the other. The government, he reminds us, is already looking for ways to make criticism of Islam impossible or illegal. The consequence of the latest round of elections – with Labour looking over its shoulder to its declining Muslim vote and desperate to keep it – makes that prospect considerably more likely, and it threatens one of the most precious things we have, which is freedom of speech.
It's disgusting that the answer is almost certainly yes.  Much like I expect NYeffingCity will wind up with Sharia patrols starting at any time, with anyone who objects being labeled a racist and Commie Islamist Mamdani trying to figure out how to have them arrested.

This was intended for last night

and I forgot, so here it is today

This definitely counts as a 'Why?', and the only reason I can think of

is 'range toy'.

Be a lot of kids on those ships,

so it doesn't surprise me.  I'll bet some Democrats have already bitched about these child abusers being caught.

Especially that asshat in Californicated who wants to be their next Senator.

Speaking of asshats, remember that idiot mayor of Charlotte who wouldn't use that murdered girls name, and made excuses for the murderer?  She's resigning, which brings up did she get tired of being such a criminal lover(illegal aliens as well as general murderers), or did she find out someone got something on her that would cause her to be forced out?

There's been a lot of people who've made either excuses for the Aztec history of sacrifices and cannibalism, or tried to convince people it didn't happen.  Someone's started a thing about "If the Aztec had beaten the Spanish attacks off and modernized in their own time and way", so a guy dug out some quotes from witnesses.  Aided, I will note, by all the skull towers and so forth that've been found over time by people doing utility work or construction in the Mexico City area.

A bit of history on .30 caliber military sniper rounds,

the bullets in particular

No surprises

Ok, Holosun, what gives?

I picked up one of their sights, which came with a 'Go to this sight to register your purchase' cards.  Which takes you to a huge messed-up web page with big empty spaces with big frames.

Looked up a address and sent "What gives?" message.  "We are the Holosun site for Europe, use this site(address given) to do this in the US."  WHich took me right back to the messed-up page.

Their sights are good, but this is a mess.

All the boomsticks I wouldn't mind having,

but have no real need for.  And that includes "I NEED it!" need.  Things like that Pedersoli double-barrel rifle in .44 Magnum.  Lots of other "Ooh, that's pretty!" things that I either don't have room for, or actually need, or both.

Two of my Grail guns have been found over time, there's maybe one I'd be real tempted to scrape up the money for if I found one(1800's Sharps rifles are rare and expensive), but other than that?  Nope, not really.

What brought this to mind is Kim is selling two rifles to make space for/money for a new one.  Oh, if I happened across that one thing I'd do that, but not much other than that comes to mind.  Which actually eases the mind a bit.

"Don't actually gas them, but make them think you are

so you can terrify them!"  And if some die from that, that's ok with her.

Who's the nazi, again?


Speaking of,

That's more wonderfulness from the wife and advisor 'whose views do not inform the administration" of Mayor Commie Islamist.

Yes, a civil right is a RIGHT, and it doesn't matter

what politician would like to change that.

That just means we need to get rid of that politician.

Demanding body cameras on cops 'to prove they're racist' turned out to be

one big-ass backfire on the left.  So now they claim telling officers to wear cameras is racist, because something that proves the deceased bad guy is bad doesn't fit their Preferred Narrative.


Speaking of judges who need to be stripped of that black robe and told they're idiots and bigots...

Nobody should run someone over just because that person is intentionally delaying them. But at some point, delaying a person becomes detaining a person. Then the rules change.
Damn right they do.  And, by the way, when you lie about what happened to make the guy trying to leave an attacker, you're full of shit and people know it.  And I agree with Insty, expel the bastards.

Yes, we remember Reginald Denny, and other people attacked by leftists playing victim.

And, last thing for now, a bunch of Indiana Republicans just got tossed from office, and are seriously butthurt about it.  And apparently don't understand why they're gone.

Insty has a collection of stuff, which points out that disappointing and pissing off(on) the voters can get your ass kicked.  And whining that "Revenge & retribution is not a Christian value.” is bullshit when you got kicked for betraying your voters.

'The weather's different across the street' says

says the View, but it happens here too.

Long time ago riding down a state highway and passed a country road.  Glanced down it, turned around and looked again.  Half the road was wet from the thunderstorm that'd moved through, the other side dry, and literally down the middle was the dividing line.

Jernalizm: AP Forgoes Balanced Reporting

In Favor of Anti-Gun Advocacy
And, like a number of other times in the past while, I'll ask 'Are you surprised?  If you are why?'

Because this is the kind of things AP does in the name of pretending to be actual reporters.

Agreed: ' Do unto rotten feds as rotten feds would do unto you. (link fixed)

Full process. Starting with pre-dawn raid and perp walk.'

Oh yes, very much so.

About that commie candidate for Senate in Maine,

 

Because he is a commie, and the Democrats have largely moved so far left there that since he has Sanders and Occasional-Cortex praising and endorsing him, they'll ignore the SS tattoo and the other crap.

Talk about freaking out the right people

That term has been used around the world to try and stop ANY criticism of that religion, and stupid people still love it.

Islam is a religious/political movement that uses any advantage, including yelling 'Racist!' at anybody who criticizes something about it.  Like , having a problem with islamists wanting all Jews dead and all Christians either dead, enslaved or paying jizya.

I am just about convinced that that gunsmith is right, Added data And more, answering comments

this rifle is cursed.

Just to go over this: DPMS receiver, 20" .308 barrel, rifle gas system, Superlative adjustable gas block, I bit the bullet, found a H4 buffer for a decent price and it's paired with a extra extra heavy buffer spring.  I took it out early in the week, and with the gas block venting at just shy of its complete capacity I got 22 rounds with no problem, then it started stovepiping.  With the empties ejecting at 3 o'clock.

Thinks I, 'Maybe it's when it gets dirty that it starts it again', so when back home cleaned it thoroughly and lubed, then today took it to the range to try again.

Nope.  Same problem from the start.

So I'm out of ideas.  Other than finding a open-minded priest.

Added: 
Had a standard gas block when all this started.

I did get a new extractor/spring set, as a bunch of people mentioned that as a possibility.

Ejector is the same, but has been checked on function.

Works great bare, but add the backpressure of a can and this happens, with all indications being overgassed.
I have built several AR15s in the past, none of them had such a problem.

Blarg, dammit.

2nd Added:
Obviously there's something about adding the can on that's triggering this.  Annoying as hell.

And to Anonymous, somebody mentioned the gas port itself possibly being the problem, and it's on the list to check soon as I have time.

Again, folks, thank you for the comments, personal 'This happened', and other information

This has apparently got a lot of lefties in an uproar

Bluesky is in full panic. A full on exposed API has revealed thousands of people who signed up for the GTFO Ice site. Full names, phone, and zip codes.

Yeah, need to make some space

So here's some stuff saved up
