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

Further sign of disaster in Washington,

And a sign of hope from Sweden, of all places

And yeah, I'll bet that has all the right people screaming in agony

A double-barrel 1911?

Definitely unique, but personally, no.

Speaking of "NO", this Dem candidate in Michigan who, it seems, has confessed to illegal voting.  Among hating where she lives now.


Found this piece of video on the most recent Trump attack, and- well,

Everyone seems to have been thinking "Ok, this part of the job's over", which let the guy rush past them.  With a shotgun.
Definite failure of mindset, I'd say.

Speaking of failed mindset, are they finally going to get rid of Starmer over there in (fG)Britain?  And if they do, just what Labour asshat do they think will do better?  And will the people start actually throwing all the traitors and backstabbers out?

And is it too late to stop the damage?

Damage?  Like, as the headline puts it, the acting ATF head very literally sleeping with the enemies of the 2nd?

It’s pretty easy to say that the violence is coming overwhelmingly from the Right if you overwhelmingly edit out any political violence from the Left.

Now I need to get some actual stuff done.  Hopefully.

"What? More feds who lied about health and safety and where that virus came from?

 And you're surprised?"

The Biden 'gun dealer' rule is dead

And had he not been a gun bigot of the first order it never would've existed.

One more thing done.

And another Democrat plays "We must ban ALL THE THINGS!"

using what seems to be their big bugaboo lately: 'military grade'.

Interesting, isn't it, that they simultaneously bitch that the guy couldn't pull it off, but whine about a pump-action shotgun and a very old-style pistol?

And, if you're like this man, you forgot

what those men died for; because "I know better than they"

And, speaking of backstabbing politicians,

A different opinion on Pam Bondi as AG

Which includes this:
The public theater...the Epstein files fiasco, the congressional grillings, the slow-bleed perception that “Trump’s enemies weren’t being prosecuted fast enough”...was the predictable noise generated by an entrenched apparatus that weaponizes leaks, redactions, and procedural sabotage the moment it senses its own exposure.

Bondi absorbed that fire so the next occupant of the office would inherit dockets already primed, evidence chains already hardened, and a bureaucracy already blooded and compliant.

She was the breaching charge.

The follow-on force...now under acting leadership that can move with fewer Senate constraints and fresher political capital...gets to deliver the kill shots.
I think some of her work, that seemed to be very soft on the 2nd Amendment, was a problem.  She did get some things done, and it's possible that she wasn't intended to be the long-term AG.  

Different opinion, as I said.

Commenter named Orr wrote that

The real test will be Prince William; King Charles “Muhammad” will not be around much longer. 

Just as Elizabeth II’s father and mother rescued the image of the Royals after the Abdication, William could preside over Britain’s own Reconquista - Sudety/Pomorze/Śląsk - Bag and Baggage, following his great-grandparents, George VI and his own Queen Elizabeth, who rendered essential support to Churchill during the War….
From some things William has said, I don't know if he's going to be much help.  We'll see.

CMP is selling 1903 rifles again

Rebuilt with suitable parts and new stocks.

Well, that was surprising (added data)

Had a chance to hit the outdoor range, and one thing I did was try the Federal 190-grain Subsonic ammo.  Set a target at 100 yards, and no holes in the paper.  Set up a target at 50, same.  But the dirt jumping from the berm makes me thing that hit way high.

So I got some handloads the rifle had been sighted with and tried them, right were should be.  

I'll save the rest of these until have the paper with me for a big target so a hole that's off the target will at least tell me where it hit.  

Added: These had been shot at 30 yards for accuracy, and had similar point of impact to loads- factory and hand- using the Hornady Sub-X bullets.  At distance I can see them being higher POI, as they have higher velocity and that nice pointed bullet, but damn...  Like I said, use the rest on a bigger target so I can see any higher holes without question.

'The Most Volatile, Complex and Dangerous Threat Environment'

 I would say he's correct

From Dive Medic: yes, it is a way to respond

Only way?  There are only two real ways to respond: chew the drunk out, badly enough he goes away, or what the guy did.

He has a followup here

Oh yes, the left acted like psychopaths after the latest assassination attempt on Trump

because so many are psychopaths.

And now we have lots of leftist politicians insisting "I am unaware of this rhetoric you say Democrats used."

Yeah.  Right.  

Such stupid Britain has become.

And the left would love to do it to us here.

After the young girl presented her testimony, Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith — the judge presiding over the trial — told her she shouldn't have been carrying weapons in the first place.

"I hope you reflect that it's not a good idea to carry weapons in the city of Dundee," he reportedly said.

"There is no such thing as a defensive weapon; there are only offensive weapons," he added.

This was a 13-year-old girl who had comments like this thrown at her, who had just seen her sister thrown to the ground by these two, and who knew damn good and well that the system protected more than a few of these monsters.

But the judge decided that, while on the stand, it was a wonderful time to claim there's no such thing as a defensive weapon, only offensive ones.

This isn't by accident, either. 

Of course not; the control freaks do nothing of the sort by accident..

Speaking of shooting, ran across this a bit ago and didn't have time to read through

or post on it: Gunfighting and Neuroscience: Why Using Your Front Sight Might Kill You.

He's talking about looking at the front sight as you're raising it to face a threat instead of keeping your vision on the threat.  Take a look if you have time, see what you think.

Had a chance to shoot something new this weekend,

a S&W M&P II Compact.  9mm, 4" barrel, 15 round magazine, and like most things anymore optic ready.  This one had a Holosun green dot sight.

I'd have to say, I'd carry one.  Changeable backstraps to better fit your hand, good trigger, and it put them where you wanted them.

About that trigger: the take-up portion was a touch rough, but this being a new one I'd suppose it'll smooth out a bit with use.  When you hit the break point, it had a definite stop, then a clean break.  For slow stuff it was easy to shoot, and for quick repeat shots I didn't notice the rough.  It worked very well for me, and if I was getting a new pistol this is one I'd definitely consider for carry.

Total about 50 rounds through it.  No, not an in-depth range test,  a good tryout.

Something I'd wondered about:

Ilhan Omar and her husband are both muslim; so what the hell were they doing with a winery?

Sybil Ludington

There damn well should be a statue.  A better-known one.

Ah, those wonderful people on the left after another attack on Trump and others

That's a small part of this post.

Same kind of people either raising funds for the enemy, or approving of it.  You'd expect better of them?

And, almost immediately, leftists were screaming it was a set-up by Trump.

Holy crap.

Yes, Blogger is doing it again,

no telling why.  The 'appeal' has been made, we'll see what happens.

And yes, it's been that way before since this started: "Make your changes(we won't tell you what caused this) and we'll see if we can take this off."  And there's zero way to comment or protest to them.

Yeesh.

And, oh joy, some idiot fired shots at that stupid press dinner where the President was,

and, undoubtedly to the disappointment of most of the press and lots of open Democrats, he was  uninjured; which makes me wonder what kind of crap we'll get to hear tomorrow from the Democrats in most states...

I managed to take some time for more pleasant subjects and
