Well, I tried something that worked

on that rifle problem.

Little more on this gas block: the Superlative Arms gas block, first you open it up 18 clicks, which gives you a fully open flow through the port and into the action, then you adjust it down as needed to give you the ejection pattern you want, and it does this by venting excess gas out a port in the front of the block.  So it reduces the amount of gas going into the receiver that way instead of just blocking it.  

One thing advertised is that by doing that it's supposed to reduce fouling in the action, which has seemed to work.

You've got 30 clicks of adjustment, so today I took it down to a total of 28 clicks from open port, so it's venting a LOT of gas out the port.  And it worked, no jams or ejection problems.  Reduced it all the way, leaving one click(call it in reserve), and it still worked, full action cycle, locked the bolt on an empty mag.  Which seems kind of amazing, but at least for today it worked fine.

So that's the current status on this.  Total it's  a long path to here, and one of these days I'll write it up.

Note: I fired 17 rounds total today, and when I pulled the bolt carrier group to see about cleaning, it didn't need it.  Apparently all that vented gas took most of the fouling with it.

Added because I forgot it before, the instructions on this block in case you're interested

Ah, Hollywood, demanding more money from other people

because they keep producing crap and demanding we like it.


And since I'm borrowing from Insty,
Everything you read makes sense if you simply translate "experts" as "crazy people".
Especially the 'experts' who ruined God only knows how many lives over the Wuhan virus

They should be terrified,

they've given people damn good reason to drop a dime on them.

A host went on live TV begging ordinary Iranians NOT to leak the hiding locations of regime officials to Israel! He literally cried that if the people expose their coordinates, “it's over” and they will be eliminated.

The Islamic Republic is terrified because they know the ultimate truth: millions of Iranians are acting as the eyes and ears of Israel on the ground.
Which makes me wonder: considering how many people the Iranian regime has murdered just in the last month or two, I wonder how many, not just officials but IRGC thugs, have been whacked due to people seeing a way to get at them?

Bayou Renaissance Man knows of a friend in need

If you can help out, it'd be appreciated.

I would say it's a symptom of 'modern' feminism,

but with any wording, the level of though that can reduce his grief to this...

The PM does indeed look like he's expecting to see

either a rope hanging from a tree or lamppost, or catch the smell of tar.

And he and a bunch of other politicians have truly earned both..

The current forecast:

Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms before 1am, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 1am and 4am, then a slight chance of showers after 4am. Low around 64. South wind 16 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

And,of course, the local stations are full of 'MAY be SEVERE!'
I swear, they think they won't get paid if they don't use that word.

It's because your government and media is sucking up to their new masters

Why else would you think this is happening?

One more idiot who has no idea about

what the 2nd Amendment actually says and means, but has a great grasp of bad history.

Also from him

My teens, nowhere near that many friends that I can recall.  I think, at best, my 30's were his 20's, my 40's I think so, now... Damn, I need a dog.

Ran across this at Pitsnipe's place, and it reminded me

of those stairs I fell down

As that was one of the things I said while deciding I could get up and gather it all up.

Know how much Conehead, the Mayor of Chicago, taxpayer money he spends on his personal security?

About $30 Million Per Year.  While he lectures everyone about how things are better, and you stupid peasants don't need guns to protect yourselves.  While his guards you can damn well bet are armed.

While he and his clowns make a point of turning violent criminals loose so they can violate the laws again.

Wonderful people.

Look at his picture and you'll see why Second City Cop gave him that name.

Friend picked up something interesting

An old Remington rolling block .22, with a tang sight, folded down

Now raised

About as simple as can get, no adjustments.  I'll be interesting in seeing where it hits for him

From CDR Salamander:

You don't think there's a plan?  Really?

When you artify a pair of revolvers

to the point of "What?"

Lots more pictures and information at TFB

a bit of tab clearing

Yeah, you spend that much time hating men, it's going to be hard to attract one.


“Last year alone, Muslims kiIIled 500,000 Christians in only Nigeria. Why are they only talking about Palestine?"

The lefty Boomers packing these No Kings rallies have been wrong about everything. Literally everything.

Making a Crickett even lighter.  Because everyone needs a project.


Buy your whiskey properly

"X lets people say and read and do things we don't like

without having to ask permission, and it's a massive problem!"

These little Stalin wannabes are just wonderful, aren't they?

Yes, I forget things when I get busy,

including "I've got this all set up to post tomorrow!"

                                Problem being we have a fair amount of villainy to deal with, too

I'll repeat it, what the hell is wrong with people who hate Jews so much?

Because if you actually think they're behind all the world's troubles, you have a problem.


Yes, bad people they are.
It's important to remember that most highly educated elitist Democrats are, in their heart of hearts, extremely bad people

Those people happen to be the same color you are, idiot, so what are you scared of?


Election tampering should get people jailed.


Apparently this Pope is an idiot.

Spain also appears to be run by idiots who cannot or will not remember their history.


This reminded me of something: some years back I'd ordered a Special Deal on .45 bullets("Order this many and you get FREE SHIPPING!!").  About a week later knock at the door, there's a Post Office car in the driveway and the driver says "I've got a box for you, but I can't pick it up."

What the hell is wrong with the people who hate Jews so much

they have to connect them with every-bloody-thing?

For some reason lots of idiot commies are part of it.  

Speaking of idiots,

Same kind of people who think Kimmel is funny

Has the Secret Service given up on firearms training?

I mean, if you're on the 'protect special people' squad, they shouldn't have to worry about you shooting yourself in the butt.

And I wonder what kind of holster he was using?
