Is this part of the PLAN?
Capitalism just means an entity makes claim to property, and that this claim is recognized and enforced. Capitalism can exist without a free market, like in state capitalism. Few governments fit neatly into the Economic/Political/Authoritarian model you are referring to. How do you hold the...- Longshot

Northrop Grumman Avondale
This sucks. The Navy still isn't close to having the target number of ships requested by the Dept of Defense, IIRC. I guess the gov't just doesn't have the budget to back up the industry. This is definitely part of the reason for the closure, though:- Longshot

Is this part of the PLAN?
I respectfully disagree. Anarchy is the natural order of government, in which each person does as he pleases. Capitalism is a system that allows individuals to own capital. Capital can be money, land, a tractor, whatever. Those who are good at managing their capital inevitably obtain a lot of...- Longshot

Is this part of the PLAN?
That's called capitalism. Those with a lot of capital lend it to those without in order to get richer. The downside of the system is that capital tends to pool into the collective hands of a few. And, they are willing to do most anything to make sure it stays that way. Choose your economic...- Longshot

Sherburne WMA
I generally grab a lane with a 'freebie' target, because I don't have to ask everyone to go cold and wait on me to set up. When I shoot my last set, I generally leave one clean target for the next guy to do the same. Plus, I don't have to ask everyone to go cold again for me to remove my...- Longshot

cheap upper and Plumcrazy
Glad to hear the build was a success. +1 on the Kel-Tec. I'm taking the bite on building a budget AR as well, so I'll post how they compare when I get the chance. You might want to try Silver Bear in your SU-16. It isn't lacquered like the other stuff, and I've had good luck with it so far... -
Sherburne WMA
Someone had a carbine version on Sunday when it was overcast. I had forgotten that the muzzle flash on those things is about 3 feet long, lol.- Longshot

The ergonomics of the PLR-16 were so popular that everyone over at the KTOG forums started requesting the same forearm and pistol grip for the SU series of rifles. Kel-Tec has amazing customer support, and soon developed and issued these parts to several KTOG members for testing. The compact...- Longshot

Macondo Well Too Big To Plug?
But there is still an impermeable layer sitting atop a porous layer. What has changed to allow leaks along the sea floor? As the well is drilled, steel casing is lowered and cemented into place to strengthen the well. I can see the well being blown out at the casing shoe while pumping a kill...- Longshot

Macondo Well Too Big To Plug?
The formation was strong enough to contain the pressure initially, otherwise the reservoir wouldn't exist in the first place. I'm a bit confused. How would plugging the well cause leaks on the seafloor, considering the reservoir pressure is slightly lower now that the well has been flowing for...- Longshot

Sherburne WMA
Thanks to all who recommended Sherburne. I had a great time today, and it was definitely worth the drive from Baton Rouge. It ended up being pretty wet, so I had the rifle range to myself for most of the day. I dialed in a new 1x32 scope on my SU-16C and ran a couple mags through it just to be...- Longshot

S&W SD Series
jdindadell explained it, i was referring to the barrel/slide lockup. I'm not sure if you count this as a source, but this guy mentions it as well: http://www.cybershooters.org/dgca/sig-sauer_p225.htm The design has been adopted into every handgun I can think of. My point was just that it is... -
S&W SD Series
I don't know if I can find the sources again, but I also read that Melonite and Tenifer are different trade names for the same finishing process. I'm beginning to think that S&W doesn't even employ engineers...just corporate spies. I'm not sure I'm even interested in the revos anymore, if S&W... -
S&W SD Series
After doing a bit more reading, I stumbled across this article: http://www.chuckhawks.com/smith-wesson_dark.htm I respect Chuck Hawks, as I have read many of his articles in the past. This article strikes me as his honest opinion, and not something he was paid to write by competitors of S&W... -
MSNBC(!) anchors dumbfounded by inept Obama oil address
I hope the US gov't doesn't use this as a convenient excuse to acquire majority ownership of BP America. Talk about the perfect economic grip for communism. Like Yrdawg pointed out, the company pledged more than it is currently worth.- Longshot

Mav88 barrel screw
For you Mossberg 500 and Maverick 88 users, is it normal for you guys to re-tighten the thumb screw that holds the barrel on often? At my last 3-gun match, my action would get very stiff at times, and I did not notice until the end of the day that my barrel screw was slowly backing out. I am... -

Thanks. That's a good looking rifle, f350drvr. What lower is that? -
16 and Pregnant
I remember several girls in my junior high getting pregnant, and that was almost 15 years ago, so this isn't anything new. I don't like the fact that the networks air this kind of stuff though, because it won't take long before impressionable viewers find the behavior normal. I did a quick...- Longshot

Custom 16" 1x9 5.56 Chrome Moly Carbine Upper $335
UPS dropped my upper off this afternoon. I have to say, it looks good. The rail on the gas block appears to be a bit lower than the rail on the receiver, so I have a question for the AR gurus. Will standard BUIS co-witness properly if I mount the front sight there? -
S&W SD Series
I agree. I'm itching to get some trigger time with the M&P line now. IIRC, Precision rents handguns. I may head over there and try one when I get some free time. Huh. Do you remember if these failures occurred in the VE model as well? The reason I ask is because there were so many different...
