May I recommend some holiday reading materials: https://stlccw.com/product/autographed-unintended-consequences-in-softcover/
I've done the right handed thing with Lee-Enfield's, 1903's, 1917's, Commercial Mausers, cheap Axis & T/C Compass rifles, and old .22 bolt guns, etc. for 40 years. Wasn't a really a problem with open sights/iron sighted guns, but as the eyes get older and the need for scopes become a thing...yeah I'm buying something to fit me.
It's cold outside, so I went out and shot the 1950's Cold War collection. And since I finally got a CETME front sight tool for the C308 it's not only shooting on the paper now, but held 3.5" 9-shot group at 100 yards with surplus ball. FAL held a 2.5" group though.

Second the fit of Captri Sun, but can burst when going prone. Then you're all wet and sticky and not in the good way. For that reason I recommend the small Sunny D bottles. However the larger jugs will fit in hydration pockets, you just have to stick the straw thing in and you're G2G.

Yes, but only the off brand footlong cherry stuff. Pick and peals also allow you to make more tourniquets, but they may break easier making things wet and sticky in not a good way again.

Clifford. Much larger selection of older hardcovers. They stop boolets better and actually stay flat when open for coloring.

I've found regular sized crayons work best for glock holsters. Jumbo's fit better in leather two world war holsters with the flap for retention.

The Sniper one. 'Cause black death or whatever....

Sorry man, we play when it starts getting dark around 4:30. Maybe after mommy makes you tendies for dinner you can come back out until bath time?
Other than the firing pins on the USP that had be redesigned because they broke all the time. Granted I traded in my USP after the second firing pin and having to try and deal with HK's lack of customer support on a Walther P99 and never looked back.
I still maintain that .308 is the better hunting choice as there's still more hunting bullet options out there.
The rifle I really want is made by Tikka, but Beretta doesn't import the southpaw version. I could buy a T3X southpaw superlight (I think that's the cheapest), then get a MDT chasis or Boyds At-One and have it bedded and add a 20 or 30 MOA rail. But that gets to be a $1200 - $2200 affair pretty quick. Or could get a Savage for $600, spend another $600 on the glass and not have to do a god damn thing other than adding a muzzle device or a can or a muzzle device for a can.
I thought they had adopted 6.5 Meme in the M110 platform a couple years ago? But I think that was just SOCOM, which doesn't count because they have procurement beyond normal channels. Aka if they want something they just go buy it...or steal it...or whatever the mission "dictates".
Things have been happening. What people don't seem to remember is that the time between incidents tend to be months apart from each other. Bullets were flying for over a year before the declaration of independence. And other shit had been going on for nearly a decade before Lexington Green.
There were skirmishes along the Missouri/Kansas border for years before the guns fired on Ft. Sumter.
It's just these events are bridged by a couple of a sentences or maybe a paragraph in our history books.
The powder keg is primed. I don't know what will set it off, but something will. It might be a SCOTUS ruling in the next few weeks. It maybe the actions of a Biden administration six months from now.
A friend of mine was running for state rep in 2018. I was at a lunch with policy wonks after spending the morning listening to a bunch of numbers geeks presenting data. It was a very quite lunch as everyone sitting there knew what the data was saying: we were in for a decade of unrest no matter what in the 2020's. It was time to start preparing the state and we spent most of last year working on policy outlines and draft legislation. Ironically the first thing on the agenda was to build up state level medical supplies and trying to get $35M in funding to buy PPE and a couple million doses of some common generic drugs so the state wouldn't have to rely on FEMA. A draft bill was circulating around when COVID hit, the session ended prematurely, and nothing happened especially since the state budget was about to be blown to hell and back.
Markets are even more overvalued now than they were in 1929. We've mostly pulled out of the market and are holding on to liquidity at the moment. I'm glad we have a bunch of farmland. We can eat rice and beans for a long time. At the same time guess what the tyrants come for first when things go to shit...
Don't order from Botach. The only good thing I can say about them is at least they don't charge your credit card until they ship. But I ordered a set of cheap level IV plates back in April for the spare plate carrier I had. It's December and that plate carrier is still empty, according to their website it's come back into stock 3 times since I ordered, yet the order is still pending.
Spez: just checked and according to their website they have 944 in stock, but yet my order is still "waiting fulfillment". And there's no way to cancel that order and I've tried contacted their support to no avail. Basically don't order from Botach.
