Agrarian societies have used the practical implication of a "DST" since before precise time keeping was modernized. The current DST was simply a formalization and adoption of that old practice as a general rule. With the advancement of technology that is no longer restricted by ambient light for safety and production it is no longer necessary or even helpful. The real myth is that DST is some ill conceived government conspiracy program to get more work out of the plebes to benefit big industry and government.

Time zones exist to account for the earths rotation around the sun. DST was started to give and extra hour of "sunlight" to account for the earths axis tilt away from the sun in the winter solstice. Completely different concepts.
-
No. It was to extend "working" daylight for farmers.
-
Since we are no longer an agrarian society and even agrarian areas do not need the time shift anymore, I think ol Ben's idea is over.

If you're wanting cheap, build it in 5.45x39 and leave the 7.62x39 for the AK.

Union "democracy" is hardly the model of free assembly or assopciation that you cite. In fact, the very fact that the Unions have used the government to prevent their member from being able to vote anonymously, or to assemble or meet outside of Union presence, or to be able to negotiate with the company outside of Union presence flies in the face of the Constitution on many levels. What started out as a needed median has become an incredible roadblock to workers.

Your sarcasm is well meant but errant. The government has an application to intervene when it is Constitutional to do so. That is the very nature and created purpose of the US/State government. We agree with government when government is operating within it's created purpose. It is not an all or nothing proposition. BTW somebody will always be telling someone else what to do. Whether it's the Constitution or a progressive liberal. I and the founding fathers prefer that it be principals of absolute truth that restrains overzealous individuals or governments from imposing arbitrary personal will.

The UAW is the one that was interfering with private business by trying to steal money and power from both employees, VW, and Tennessee. So yes, Haslam getting involved is exactly what a TN Governor should be doing. He didn't overstep his bounds, he did his job. I don't like him on a lot of things but this one is right. As far as you analogy, it is more like a Governor being Pro 2A and getting involved when someone like Bloomberg tries to add a tax on to TN ranges for everyday of the week to curb gun violence in NY. I think you are a victim of you own ideology on this one and it won't let you be objective because your trying too hard to be objective.

Sounds about right.

Vz58 are phenomenal rifles, but they aren't AK's . Meaning dedicated mags and internals are completely different. I'd love to have one but those factors have always turned me away.
-
Well, got her out today and got the scope dialed in after a small learning curve. Took a bit since these scopes are different in how they set up, but once it was on ... it was ON! This thing is a blast to shoot! The factory mag and the two additional mags I got functioned flawlessly with 147g LB and and a few HB 180g I got just to try out. I was impressed with the accuracy and the glass is very nice. It definitely has some jump to it, but nothing I would say is hard to handle. It was also nice to find that the trigger is a factory two stage trigger. Not the best and it is gritty but I believe it can be smoothed out with some polish and lightened with a JTE reduced power trigger spring. I've had a lot of guns in my short time and there have been a few that surprised me and my expectations, this PSL is definitely more fun than I thought it was going to be.

Absolutely not. SBR/NFA info is Tax info and is private and can only be requested and required by the IRS. However, since it is a felony they can hold you until a proper tax authority is summoned to get the information. It's just easier to voluntarily give the info instead of waiting for a tax authority to request and then verify your personal tax info.

I like the Blackhawk stocks. Especially since my kids shoot it a lot and it is the best looking adjustable stock I've found. Very lightweight and completely free floats the barrel. Stock photo but is similar to my setup.
-
How hard is it to run a registration search on a pretty specific new model car like that Camero and find the guy in short order?
-
What Dolomite said. The only issues I've heard that seem like they could actually happen are that the higher pressure over time can cause throat erosion and possible gas port erosion. It seems like that is possible, but also seems like it would take A LOT of rounds before it could be an issue.
-
Very nice! That's a massive scope.

[quote name="Trekbike" post="1107739" timestamp="1391826678"]What's the barrel length on that beast?[/quote] 24.4"

Nah, waiting on ammo to get here.

After looking at them and reading the post from the picture you posted, all mine were upside down and backwards. Fixing them then made sense, as I guessed it was to raise the front of the follower.

My mag springs tails are the other way and don't look like they fit the other direction.?
-
You mean the one where the woman filed a false claim ... according to her own account after the fact? You guys that keep talking about this guy are what make Zimmerman a "celebrity." :shake: :surrender: Zimmerman is to the gun world what Kim Kardashian is to pop culture. Relevant because people won't ignore her.
-
Yeah, because Zimmerman has so many other ways to make a living. Like all the job offers he has flowing in. Regardless of what you think of his case, I have failed to see him try to exploit the situation.
-
No you rotate your right hand palm up and throw the lever with your left hand. You will need to also lean you head to the left so as not to catch a chunk of brass/steel in the head.
-
Thanks for the heads up on the mag. I've never been a fan of the recoil buffers, but would they make a positive difference in a lower volume gun like the PSL?
