I think you have to be a benefactor to can change it (custom), not sure if you have to have a few posts first though.

It can and has been done before, Freedom Group closed or greatly reduced production of a few gun makers and moved them to Alabama, namely Remington, DPMS, AAC etc. If it makes financial sense, a company will move, and sometimes, it's not all about finance such as when Magpul announced they were pulling out of CO due to the Mag Ban they passed. I'm not worried about the Remington Brand though, as long as I don't see "American Outdoor Brands Corp 700 in .308" on an ad for a rifle.

In that case I would contact RIA to see if this has been a reported issue. They may just replace or repair that ramp if that is the issue. I can't see a gun not being able to run defensive rounds.

Have you tried different Mags? Sometimes the follower or lips make the bullet misfeed.

My condolences, sounds like he left many happy memories and the task to pass them on to your family and friends.

Scope Recommendations for Ruger 10/22
Omega replied to E4 No More's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Yup, same scope I was going to recommend. Nikon makes a decent scope, I usually get the ones designed for centerfire just in case I want to swap out to another rifle, but in all these years its never happened so my next 10/22 will wear a rimfire scope like that one. -
Don't tell them, there is no permanent modification.

First shot is a ND, second and third??? Yea, you get charged for the first and slammed for 2 and 3.

Yes, a chrony is nice get one if you can. You can also load some ladders, and fire them checking for pressure signs, cycling and lockback on each string. Stop when you get a good working load, or start to see pressure signs. Worked for me when I could not afford a chrony, and also works with one.

If you are talking about this one: 5460, then skip it, it reads good but overrated. The part they say is to save bag material is useless, by the time you get to that step you already sealed the bottom so who cares if you can see where you seal the top. You could use the top sealer to do the bottom, but then you may as well get one with just one seal strip and save on the purchase price. I have this one: V4445, it works ok, but you have to get used to pulling the bag back a bit when you do the bottom, because if you don't you waste about an inch of material, not much but it adds up. You also have to leave enough on the top because it needs it to start the vacuum process.

I wonder if that would go the same way nowadays? Seems like today he would just go on and be reelected like it never happened.

Oh, I don't use tatatalk for anything else, just pics. It has always been hard to navigate for me, specially since I messed up and added a few sites to it and it messes me up trying to figure which is which sometimes.

I use Tapatalk to post pics, it does it inline and then if needed you can edit the message straight on the webpage.

Don't fire a gun within Memphis city limits
Omega replied to NextExit's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Unfortunately, there is a strong possibility he can be convicted. Especially if there are a bunch of liberals in the jury, and we know Memphis is full of them. A good read: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/warning-shots/ -

Omega replied to NextExit's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I wondered as well, when at JD, some of the truck drivers said they couldn't carry a hammer because it could be considered a weapon. -

Touche, probably didn't plan his logbook right. -

Yea, but what idiot comes back after shots are fired? -
I think it ebbs and flows with good customer service, I've mostly had positive experiences with those two places. In fact, for the most part, I've had good CS anywhere I go. The key is to realize who is on the other side and that they may not have the power to fix the situation, and most importantly that they personally didn't cause the situation (unless they did). I've had calls and emails answered with an offer for replacement no questions asked. Conversely, had the same companies ask all kinds of questions, ask for pictures etc.

3 Shot Burst, But How?
Omega replied to Cherokee Slim's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Many army units still have 3rnd burst M4s, only select few, even within some units have the FA M4A1 ARs. They are slow to come around but will eventually. -
3 Shot Burst, But How?
Omega replied to Cherokee Slim's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Didn't like, or use, the 3 round burst. If the cycle did not finish, the next trigger pull finished the set; so if two fired before, only one would fire the next time. I stayed on semi until the FA ones were given to us, and that too I stayed on semi. -
Veterans respond to Starbucks criticisms re: refugees
Omega replied to Chucktshoes's topic in General Chat
I'm sure it was a calculated risk, their customer base is mostly left leaning so how much business are they really losing? While I get a chai tea every now and then, I'm sure they won't miss me. -

Maybe not, but make no mistake, you are not welcome there while carrying. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/09/18/starbucks-coffee-guns-ceo-schultz/2829937/ -
The 30" is nice, but a taller unit would be better IMHO, deer sausage hangs a bit low in it. You can make a workaround, or just lay the sausage on the grills, but they smoke a bit unevenly that way. For regular things it would be great as is, but the MES lends itself to many mods, some of which I've done, others are going to be this spring. Not my pics, but you get the idea. To control airflow/smoke, works great. MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS. Not done yet, can't get the AMNPS working yet. To hang sausage a bit higher, raises it almost perfectly for summer sausage.

Ok, maybe I'm too much of a pessimist, but it reads to me like an industry trying to sell as many of these overpriced cans as possible before the possible passage of the HPA takes the rug out from under them. While I have no illusion about a quick passage, I feel this is one of the best times to attempt it. And if it passes, I doubt these cans can maintain their current pricing strategy.
