A bunch of schools went dark and canceled classes because of copy cat threats. Two police cars at school when I dropped off my kids.

Been playing around with a new app on my phone. Range Buddy, it's for measuring your group size on the target. Works better good. :tup:

That sucks. “Never let a good tragedy go to waste.” :shakes head:

Those 'copy-cats' need to be strung up by their thumbs and publicly horse-whipped. That'll stop that BS.... :shakes head:

What say you about Kimber products?

I have an Ultra Carry II that I really like. I haven't had any problem with it. There are some people that teach self-defense pistol classes that don't care for them (Rob Pincus for one). Most 'problems' with a 45 pistol are that people tend to 'limp-wrist' them. :icon14:

I've been thinking on trading in my Colt Gov't Model 70 45ACP in for a Kimber. It seen better days. I shot over 13,000 rounds through it before I hung it up. It needs some work.

First batch of Marlin rifles after Ruger bought Marlin are hitting the street. Also it's the first batch of Marlins made at the new production facility in Mayodan, NC. Looks like only 3-6 models are being made but only one, the 1895 SBL (45-70), has made it into the wild at the moment. Ruger made some changes to the SBL and I like the changes. More models are planned to come out in 2022. I'm very hopeful about Marlin being owned by Ruger.

Ruger lists all the changes on the product page for the 1895 SBL including all the changes in the markings.

Marlin 1895 SBL

Maybe Marlin prices will come back down to earth now. :shakes head:
Saw some one calling the new Ruger made Marlins Rumlins. :bowrofl:


BTW: Merry Christmas Everyone! :xmasgrin:

Bought a one pound of RL16 at the local gun shop.........$41.98.........:eek:


Tim told me that prices really shot up with this last shipment. :shakes head: He sold out of primers in a matter of hours. Limit was 100 per customer.

Let's go, Brandon!!! :gtfo2:

I'm getting ready for the 1776 party to kick off. The challenge is nationwide comms that aren't being eavesdropped and monitored.

.

Indeed. All the ignorant preppers that think HAM (voice and data) is the way to go have no idea what modern surveillance and counter measures can do. Hell with a computer, SDR dongle and few antennas you can monitor a lot if not all of the VLF-UHF bands. You don’t have to spend much too. HAM is great for disasters where cellular and land lines are down or for when you are really in the middle of no where but if things go sideways I’d stay off of the HAM freqs.

That's what the Marine Corps Radio Battalions do, monitor the air waves. I know the NSA is collecting cellphone transmissions and text messages, along with monitoring email traffic. Remember when the cell phone companies were making a big deal about voice traffic being 'encrypted'? It is, but the NSA has access to the keys to unlock the code. While cellular voice traffic is 'encrypted', SMS messages are sent in the clear. :eek:

At the unit I was stationed at in Hawaii, we had a device that would monitor the entire RF spectrum, so we could determine what was the best usuable frequency on any given day. We soon discovered we could listen in on the older wireless phones; at that time, the 900MHz frequency phones weren't widely available. It became a source of entertainment during lunch time and after work, we had a good idea who was screwing whom, when and where they were doing it... :ugh2:

So....

Over the weekend, a lady in PA gets sick from CDC quarantined monkeys that got loose after the truck carrying them wrecks.

Today Scott on Kentucky Ballistics put out a video on shooting a zombie torso with his 700 Nitro.

Does Scott know something we don't?




:rofl2:

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:


Probably...:eek:

We know the zombie apocalypse is upon us, they just haven't started to stink yet.... :barf:

If I had to use my Ham radio for discrete communication, I could cover it in an encoded digital signal in any analog voice contact. Hiding in plain sight. :) That is the easiest. Otherwise, back decades ago we used direct sequence spread spectrum or Frequency hopping SS. It is right above the noise level and across a set of frequencies. If I was targeted, The communication now would be carried via internet and be transmitted on a remote transmitter online. There are hundreds of thousand now.

Not sure what the ATF is up too but it is not good.

:shakes head::shakes head::shakes head:

All gun laws are infringements. Repeal the NFA.

I might have to up my USCCA insurance. Not sure if it would cover this.

Simpler solution is to cause those triggers to 'disappear'. Firearm Policy Center just put out an email with guidance, in case the BATF comes knocking.

I am finding the only good reasons to be here this time of year is shooting ice blocks. Nothing more spectacular. Pinging a piece of metal is not even close.

:tup:

Any one else never buying Remington ever agin?

Depends if the new owners can get the bugs worked out.

My 1990 Rem AS 700 7mm RM is at the gunsmith right now having a Fat Bastard muzzle brake installed.

Nope, they caved. They settled with the Sandy Hook parents. I do realize that it will probably be cheaper settling than fighting them in court and not having a legal loss on this is better in the long run but it does set a dangerous precedent. :shakes head:

i didn't read about Sandy Hook yet. They settled, that's a bad move. Because everyone else will be looking for money. :shakes head:

Benelli M4 in stainless for sale about 45 min away. Comes with everything. fair price. Don't need another one, but the way things look, they could pull the plug on importing anymore of these at anytime.

Wouldn't mind one of those. :tup:

ICYMI

Scott tests the ammo from that fateful day. :icon14:

That poor 50 cal took a beating.

No kidding. Definitely demonstrates how much of a freak accident Scott had.

So glad he survived it.

Interesting. Parts for a FAL and an Uzi.

Yes and yes. Uzi parts will be sold, the FAL may be built . Checking into that now.
Did you see the small magazine with the wood bottom? Early luger?

Damn it Scott....:rofl2:

Looks like it. Might be 7.65?
