Yet if it isn't closed and an attack occurs killing US citizens, it's the administration's fault. This is the right move. Fuck that shithole of a country, get our people out of harm's way. Why maintain an embassy in what is rapidly proving to be a failed state?

6061 T6 must be an especially corrosion-resistant alloy, if it's meant for use in oceans.

2024 is a fine structural material when you need something with a great strength-to-weight ratio, but has shit for corrosion resistance - probably because it contains a lot of copper. 6061 is a lot easier to work with and is more corrosion resistant - but it doesn't have the same great strength-to-weight ratio. For terrestrial use, 6061 is almost always a better choice. Not so much in aerospace. tl;dr - 6061 forms a good oxide layer and doesn't corrode easily.

Another vote for .308. It'll get the job done, and if your shot placement is good, ruin relatively little meat - assuming you use good soft points that don't overpenetrate.

Cool! I sent that link to a buddy who loves Czech and Swiss stuff. You never know, if he snags it I might get to check that pistol out in person!

Looking at the videos a few more times - doesn't look even remotely like what I'm used to seeing in nuclear detonation test videos - and I'm talking early low-yield nukes, in the same class as a modern Russian tactical nuke. Trinity, our very first test, was a yield of about 20 kilotons: The explosions in the videos in this thread look to be a couple of orders of magnitude smaller. Yeah, a big conventional explosion, scary as hell and not something you'd want to be anywhere near - but nothing on the scale of a nuclear detonation.

If a nuke goes off, ANY international regulatory body or environmental protection agency capable of monitoring atmospheric radiation will know within hours, at the most. Until and unless I see hard evidence that such organizations are detecting increased atmospheric radiation - it's gotta be a large conventional explosion.

Unless they sold those rights for a lump sum in advance, there wouldn't be any way to cash in on royalties until and unless sanctions are lifted. Maybe there was some sort of clause built in allowing the use of the name only - I'm guessing they won't be copying 100-series rifles, but I could be wrong. Maybe they'll get licensing from Bulgaria or some other nation that's already pissing off Russia by manufacturing clones of Soviet and post-Soviet Russian arms.

I'd love to see a source on that. Last I saw, Magnum research was making full-size Desert Eagles here in the US (with obvious machining marks and poor fit and finish compared to the Israeli guns), and selling some polymer-framed piece of shit as the baby desert eagle. I'd love to see genuine IWI handguns again.

The media relies on a negative spin - since there are ALWAYS negative aspects to dwell on, there will always be news like that. Whenever the price of a commodity changes, some people and ideas benefit, and some suffer.

I don't know exactly why gas prices are so volatile right now - OPEC is doing some weird shit, and US oil companies are no doubt doing their own weird shit in return. Shale oil and gas are expensive to produce - if importing oil is cheaper than producing it domestically, shale oil extraction becomes a less attractive option and US shale oil producers can't compete. The only reason US companies started developing new technology to extract gas and oil from shale was the massive increase in international oil prices over the last decade and change. Shale oil and gas didn't look like a profitable v

I've had my hands on plenty of the EAA guns at Cabela's, but I don't think I've ever fired one. I've fired a few CZ75 pistols, and a few of the old IWI "baby eagles" in 9mm and .40 - might've also fired one in .45, just can't remember. Every one I've fired has performed reliably. I like most of the ergonomics - I'm not too big a fan of how little space there is to grab the slide to rack the pistol. Because the slide runs on internal rails instead of external rails, it's relatively slim and presents a fairly small surface area above the frame. The slide serrations are aggressive enough that you

That was not I, sir.

I usually just don't carry a rifle with a round in the chamber. Thankfully, I've never spent any time in a combat zone or had a real reason to carry a long gun with a round in the chamber. I've sometimes carried an S12 with a round in the chamber and the safety on - but I prefer to carry with a full mag, and a Russian steel shell as the first round so it doesn't deform.

It's intentional. Clicked all the way up in that position, it acts as a dust cover, preventing crap from getting in the receiver - it also prevents you from pulling the charging handle.

Which is practically true. But it gets weird with AKs (excluding those with serialized receivers rather than trunnions), because removing the trunnion without demilling the receiver can also be construed as defacing the serial - which is sort of a felony.

Yeah, curious about that - and even moreso, where you found an 80% receiver. If I remember correctly, ATF made an odd ruling on the S-12, like the front trunnion is the receiver or something.

"punched in the face" Maybe for most of us, yeah. He took it like a light admonishing slap - "hey, dumbass. Fuckin' don't."

Hard drives are heavy as hell man - any drone that isn't streaming telemetry live is surely using solid state storage.

"fair game" definitely "legal to shoot" probably not

Try to catch it with my drone net. But since I keep my blinds drawn most of the time, I probably wouldn't notice it.

I made my own for the S 12 before - just hit a chunk of wood with a hatchet until it was the right shape to fit inside the spring and block the follower.

Well, the diameter thing is always a problem with Finn rifles - you either know about the bore diameter difference, or you don't. A normal Mosin barrel has no problem with .312. I've only put a few rounds through my M39, and they were all handloaded with .308 to be on the safe side. I really should slug the barrel some time - I just don't have a micrometer right now.
