Next time you are in town, I'll get out the call of duty nods and we can compare. I think mine are better.

Memphis cops have a great solve rate on murder, but outside of that, I haven't seen them care about anything past revenue generation. They certainly didn't care when my motorcycle was stolen.

Amazing kill Rob. Did you send any info to the TWRA on it? This seems like the kind of kill that they would share around.

Yall just couldn't stop with the dang boat jokes and now look what you've done.

I remember a few years back I was asked to come help someone with a computer issue. When I got there, they had two rolodexes on the desk. One was their phone book and the other was all of the websites that they like. Instead of bookmarks or favorites, they had been writing down the URL on a rolodex card and filing it away. I took the opportunity to introduce them to the bookmarks and favorites of their browsers.

The truth is most people wouldn't have known about the contents of the OmniBus spending bill if it wasn't for the covid package being attached to it. It's nice that they are finally seeing what a select few have already been seeing for decades. And there is nothing in the link that would get one in trouble other than the word analprint.

Just something other than your word that I could pass around. I was having a conversation yesterday about slipping QC at Colt but couldn't provide anything other than an anecdote and was hoping to be able to share something a little more concrete.

With the covid package the total package was 2.3 trillion. Outside of what was just passed, Rand Paul's annual Festival report listed 54 billion in waste spending in 2020. And that was just the stuff he reported, like grants for butthole identification databases, and probably leaves out a lot of other wasteful spending.

I don't know. That's why I was asking you.

Do you know what the total was that designated as foreign aid?

Do you have a source (or photos) for the extension locking lugs thing?

Because I had to put a description and I didn't think the description mattered. The video isn't publicly listed. So hopefully people only find it through this thread in which case the description is in the first post.

Do you have a backup for your primary carry gun?

Who cares? He's The Rock and he's awesome.

I bought an SR9c when they first came out and it was my carry gun for a few years. I evolved past that and so the gun has sat in the safe save for a couple of times that it was loaned out for a class. My biggest complaint was that Ruger never made a pro model without the manual thumb safety. I always wanted that and the American line didn’t fill that role for me. So since my SR9c was just sitting in the safe, I decided to tinker with it and see if I could come close to making the gun that Ruger should have made.

Mine hit Saturday. It gets squirreled away while I save for some medical equipment that I need and insurance doesn't cover. Insurance is a joke.

Private Range. I still need to get qualified for 600 AND AP. What is the qual for AP if I don't shoot a match?

I guess now that I'm carrying a Glock clone, I oughta plan a trip there at some point.

For those complaining about shipping, look into Brownell's Edge. It's their version of prime. It's half the cost of Amazon Prime (less actually) but just as good. If you buy more than a few times a year, it will save you money!

Belt loops are used for bump fire. We must ban them!

They withdrew.

Quick note for everyone. The objective itself isn't 68mm but rather that's the outside diameter. The objective is (or should be) 56mm. It's still a large diameter but not as big as it sounds when you use the OD.

Indeed! I run through all of those checks. I also check to make sure that the BCG doesn't bottom out during travel. Pin gauge sets are one of the next things up on my list.

Unfortunately, those are just more examples of negligence. I also agree with what Deerslayer said below. I don't know what their training entails and I'm not sure if that's the problem, ego is the problem or if it goes back to that complacency thing. Or if all three come into play. The DEA agent that shot his foot in the classroom, it was an ego thing. But I don't know. I know that a lot of them need to take it more seriously.

I've invested heavily in AR specific tools over the past year or so and increased my knowledge a good bit. I'm planning some armorer's classes in the future to take my understanding of the systems even further. I guess a lot of my friends know that so they've been asking me for help in assembling kits or replacing parts or diagnosing issues. Something that I've come across a lot of recently are headspace issues and receiver extension issues. I had to send a bolt back that wouldn't close on a 5.56 go gauge in any barrel that I had. The company was great about it and they replaced it without issue. I also had a friend bring a rifle by that had the same problem. It was a home built setup that he bought second hand from a shop. Luckily the shop owner knew who made the bolt and took care of it. Another rifle was a complete upper from a reputable company. The rifle headspaced fine but using one of my tools, I noticed that something was off between the receiver and the barrel extension. Or so I thought. I thought maybe the extension was clocked wrong inside the receiver. Even though it functioned fine, you could see wear on the lugs of the bolt where they were having to push past a bind to lock into place correctly. On further inspection, it appeared that the barrel extension lugs were machined poorly and had little tabs that were causing the binding. The company asked for pictures and then asked for it back. They replaced the barrel and sent everything back quickly and it was fantastic. I ran it through an inspection and everything checked out great. Most of these were pre-panic rifles and each one had some small issue. With the current state of things, check your parts before you get out and run your rifles. I'm worried about QC dropping even with the best names out there. And if you are in the Memphis area and want or need anything checked out, I'm happy to help. I'm not a gunsmith and I will happily admit that I don't know everything but I know a good bit and I enjoy doing this stuff. (Also, since I'm not a gunsmith, I don't charge anything. It's purely a hobby for me at this point.)
