I wouldn't trust it to hold a micro dot steady, let alone an EER scope. That said, I have not tried it. It just seems a bit flimsy and the way it attaches strikes me as not particularly rigid.

Neat sculpture. I don't know if it has any meaning besides being visually striking, but it is visually striking.

Label them "assault humans" and you've got a bill with legs.

Amazing machines brought to life by some amazing men.

It's a bit pie-in-the-sky, but I like the concept.

HAHAHAHAHA! No no, it looks good, really. Just kidding! It looks just fine. Most importantly though, how does it work?

Wow. I could see living that lifestyle for a little while: living off the land, no other human contact. That'd be an awesome vacation and chance to put some skills to use. But 70 years? Crikey.

"Um...Those aren't planes, they're cruise missiles." I also see this as a reaction to instability in the region caused mostly by North Korea. That China is also expanding its military hardware would only make it more reasonable for Japan to want to shore up its offshore defenses.

You'd need the strength of Heracles to unstick the bolts simultaneously!

Part of the reason for the huge numbers of materiel compared to today is that modern aircraft can do more, carry more, and go farther and faster than WWII planes. I once read a B-52 (not really "modern", but still contemporary) can carry a payload equal to the weight of a whole B-17. A 1000-plane sortie of Buffs would be impressive if only for the exhaust plume, but the questions about the point of diminishing returns would abound. The costs of modern machinery also play a part. If a B-17 cost about $200,000 in 1945, that would be equal to about $2.5 million in today's currency. Still, it

I've heard of kit builds that used drive rivets blowing their front ends out, but not factory guns. bried, you don't need too elaborate a sandbag setup. It doesn't even necessarily need to be done at the range. So long as you can get the rifle aimed at a specific point in such a way that it doesn't move, you should be able to get close enough to get on paper. A cheap and dirty method I would do at home would go like this: On a far wall, put a sticky note on the wall with a spot to aim at. Set the rifle up on a pile of towels so the iron sights are aimed at the spot. Look through

Very slick! I couldn't tell what the scraper was for at first, but he knew what he was doing.

I may be misreading your post, but I think you've gotten your elevation way too low. If the scope is on a "generic" side mount, it should not be hovering just above the front sight. Use whatever you can to brace or rest the rifle in such a way that the iron sights are lined up with a moderately distant target. See where the red dot ends up in relation to the aiming point and roughly adjust it to coincide. You should be on paper at 25 yards by doing that. Then it's just a matter of fine tuning.

If he's not using it hard, what about a folding utility knife? It's not classy, but instead of sharpening it, he can pop in a new blade insert. I'm a Benchmade fan, but it's hard to argue with Spyderco.

For that amount of money, I'd just stick the buffer tube in my sleeve.

Maybe getting kicked in the head was all part of his ploy to glance up her skirt. I suspect it's not Russian and possibly not actual security camera footage, but it is pretty entertaining.

I may be missing something. What's wrong with using steel cases in other bolt guns?

If it's not to be frivolous, it seems like the subject of a tattoo would have to be important enough to emblazon it on one's skin but would also not be diminished by wearing it there. Considering how unappealing my skin is, finding something to fit between thresholds might be impossible. I hope your daughter stays on the mend, liberty-r-death. It sounds like a scary ordeal for everyone.

I did one like that. It's a project I hoped to revisit but haven't gotten around to. I posted some of the progress by leeching on AZG's thread. I did a bit more cohesive writing on Surplus Rifle Forum.

I love XDs and I don't care about grip safeties.

Does this mean that the PROs that sell the rights to play the songs have agreed to not license them in SYG states? Have they forbidden iTunes and other online retailers from selling their music to those states? I had been meaning to buy "Superstitious" off Amazon, but I will honor Stevie Wonder's boycott.

I'm an XDian as well. I get the feeling that, once you get to a certain price point with modern pistols, there cease to be many differences between them in terms of their important attributes. At that point, it's mostly a matter of what fits the user's body and existing accoutrement. I do like Glock Facts. Not crazy, it's a cult of not really stable people. lol Which is unusual since cult members in general are usually so well-adjusted.

They have been used as ordnance since ancient times. There was even a machine of war to pelt besieged cities with them. At least, I think that's why they called it a "catapult".

Well done! That's a pretty slick trick.

I couldn't find a good place for a kitten carrier on my gear. Just as well, really since I don't have a kitten launcher.
