The parents were obviously almost guaranteed to be involved in the drug trade to some degree or another. Regardless of that what a tragedy. I can’t imagine losing a child and compounding that grief with the knowledge that my own actions had played some role in it. It’s something those parents will never be able to get over or move past. I just read the story . Nothing in it even remotely suggests the parents were dirty .

Re: Why do YOU think that so many pioneers…

…of modern science believed that Christianity was true…? Men such as Descartes, Newton, Kepler, Galileo, Locke, Copernicus, Faraday, Kelvin, and Pasteur. Oops, maybe your information source is not that accurate....De Luzzi, Copernicus,Gallileo, Descartes, Newton, Hutton, and of course the horrible Darwin...were all PUNISHED by the Holy Roman Church. Galileo was given a life sentence of house arrest upon pain of death (for suggesting that the earth revolved around the sun. Heresy!!! Remarkable similarity between the freedom of speech policies of Christianity and Islam and Marxist speech policies. Find another argument...this one can't stand sunlight. The persecutors of the scientists were not Christian. They were a political cult calling themselves Christian. They were the same kind of religious people who killed Jesus. GR

The people in power are paid. Look at Microsoft. Hard to see anyone not putting money into management’s pockets in one way or another. Now look at the border. Cartels are making money off everyone you see at the fence and many more that didn’t make it. The cartels are Bill Gates and the border is a Money Machine. Cartels harvest the funds and spread the wealth to their protection network. Billions of $$$$$$$$ buys anything from the right people.

That’s a good plan, RH. The MK2 Ruger Hawkeye can easily be modified - mostly modifying the bolt stop - to fit a longer magazine box which fits COAL up to 3.6”.
If you decide to open the magazine box recess laterally - especially on a good aftermarket synthetic or wood stock - it will accommodate a 4th 404 Jeffery case even at 2.8”. That’s the 460 G&A while the 2.5” case would be the short version of same.
MV= 2300 fps is easily achievable with the std 460 G&A version, but as the rifle gets near or below 10 lbs, recoil will demand your attention for fast follow up shots. My preference is to add weight to the buttstock and carry the ‘extra’ 3/4-1 lb over the shoulder than have a lighter DGR and get hammered enough to slow down the 2nd and subsequent shots. YMMV

Re: UPS Rant
BALLISTIK

About 15 years ago I placed an order of bullets from Powder Valley, and for some reason it wound up at a 'UPS Store', I think it was because it needed a signature, and I requested it held so I could pick it up after work. I tracked it down and they said that I was lucky that I got there before they returned the package to the sender. So I asked, "Why would you return the package?"... "We don't deal with firearms", it was a smaller box maybe 14x14x14 or so, but it was heavy.... probably 25lbs. I asked, "Why do you think it's a firearm?" "We looked up the shipper." I said, "Yeah, they don't sell firearms, it's bullets." "Same thing, we don't allow firearms or firearm products in our store." I laughed, shook my head... grabbed the package and left.

Rather fond of 120 grain TTSX as well as it is a very accurate bullet in my 7mm-08s. Next reloading project is for a SS Rem. Model 7.
Also the Nosler 140 E-tips and the 145 grain LRXs shoot well. The 139 LRX bullets seem a little more difficult to source in Canada.

Re: Old Truck Engine Oil recos

Worked at a service station off I 75 om No Georgia the summer of 71 and 72 while I was in College for a family member who owned it. This was near and during the time they filmed Deliverance, the movie.
We use to let what was left over in oil cans, drain into a big pan out on the islands. At midnight, we'd take the pan, pick all the bugs out of it, and put that oil in gallon milk jugs for a $1.25 each. We'd be sold out by 10 AM most mornings... people even wanted to put their name on a waiting list, and would pay extra for that. We did do it for customers who filled up a lot and gave us a lot of business.
Being a starving college student, I'd still buy 30 wt oil for 75 cents a quart in those days for my VW Bug.
We'd sell drain oil also for like a $1.00 a jug.. that never lasted long either... sold out real quick.
But then again, that was north Georgia 1971 and 72.. most people lived in house trailers there in Catoosa County.

Re: Linear compensators, quieter??

I'm curious to know what differences you find!
I've no use for a muzzle brake but I did swap a flash hider for a L.C. I never measured the sound difference, before and after but it was cheap so why not switch.
Is it actually quieter than a flash hider or is it the placebo affect?
I wonder if adding a 3" bloop tube/L.C./ flash can, is quieter than a barrel that's 3" longer?
Is it just marketing a way to move the blast a bit further from your face? (should I have bought a longer barrel?)
Let us know what you find with testing!
I shoot with plugs as a bare minimum regardless.

Hard case shipments are not safe either. I shipped a gun to wy a while back. Yes in a hard case taped tightly. It had a threaded barrel which was damaged to the point it needed rethreaded . The pistol grip looked like it was beat with a hammer.2 of the latches were closed 2 were unlatched.
