Re: Happy Independence Day, Stay strong and remember how we got here.

Food for thoughts of the day. While I am sure some of this is embellished, I am equally sure some of it is downplayed. http://www.nhccs.org/destiny.html Destiny of The Signers of The Declaration of Independence When the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence attached their signatures to that...

Re: Extreme Blackout, What are the limits and how do we explore them safely. update 7/1/18

Re: Not picking up the next Round

Just measured the barrel and its 0.746 in the vertical direction both in front and behind the gas block. Anybody know what the tolerance is supposed to be on at .0750" barrel? I was able to find one document that showed 0.750" +0.000 - 0.001. If that is the case, I am way out spec. Guess ...

Re: Not picking up the next Round

Measure the diameter of the area under the gas block to see if it's under sized....if so maybe a barrel warranty issue. Same goes for the gas block.

If not, I would look for a clamp style gas block to take up the space.

Re: Interpol to FBI to local LE- to our son (big brother is watching)

The gamer angle is interesting. Seems like I read a while back that the bad guys were using game platforms to host a private game and use the in game voice chat system (like steam) As an unmonitored real time communication network accessible anywhere with internet. Big brother knows all. My wife jus...
