Gun Thread: SportsBall Edition!
FUNdamentals Fundamentals of normalcy that is because it occurs to me I have not said enough bad things about the NFL and their planned retarded bullshit halftime show featuring weirdos, freaks and America haters. I wish we had an alternative. But Weasel, we do! We do have an alternative! TPUSA saves the day. Go America!
Turning Point USA recently announced more details for its "All American Halftime Show," which will be airing Sunday, February 8, around 8 p.m. Eastern time. The All American Halftime Show will be a unique, patriotic event proudly celebrating American culture, freedom, and faith. The show will feature musical performances from Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. This exclusive halftime performance can be streamed on Turning Point USA social media channels, including YouTube, X, and Rumble. In addition to social media, the program will air on partner platforms, including Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice, TBN, CHARGE!, The National News Desk, NTD.com, and OAN News. "The All-American Halftime Show is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom" Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said of the halftime show. "We set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent, and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game. These performers will deliver exactly that, and we can't wait to watch the incredible show they're about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too."For updates and more information on The All American Halftime Show, please visit the event's website and select your favorite outlet (e.g. OAN News) to stream the content. Enjoy!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

The rifle is put together. Sorry I have not provided pics.
I was just updating my Kestrel and putting all the information on the rifle into it.
Also have to cut new foam for the rifle to go into my Pelican case.
Other than that just waiting for some decent weather in the 50's so I can take her out for a spin and zero the scope.

Suppressors can also change the tone/pitch of the shot. Ammo selection can eliminate the supersonic crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier if you choose subsonic ammo (pistol calibers usually). If your suppressor is long enough, it can reduce or eliminate muzzle flash. Muzzle flash is usually the easiest thing for someone to spot. Sound, especially in urban settings, is much harder to detect because of echoing and ambient noise (traffic, construction, people talking, etc.).

I don't know. Is indifference a feeling. Whatever anger I once had at the woke garbage pushed by the NFL, has now morphed into indifference. I just don't care. I don't watch, I move on with other interests I have. Maybe if the Steelers get back to the SB, I might watch but who knows. Apathy is worse than anger for pro sports teams and leagues. Anger shows care. Apathy doesn't.

I want to be indifferent but they won't let me. They keep trolling me by adding something anti American Pro-Evil every year and pushing it on the country.
The Black 'National anthem' being added is probably the thing that makes me the angriest because they combine that with the fake plea that we need to be united.

Sportsball is unwatchable. At least MLB added a pitch count to reduce the games to 3-ish hours. NBA is a bunch of mid athletic dudes chucking up bricks from the 3 point line. NFL is more interested in selling commercial time than the actual game. 'Black National anthem?' Fuck that noise.

But I've got to have an ex-fil plan. blaster acres is in the Free State of Florida so there is a place to take the stuff that will end up being non-compliant. Current best case is that ARs and large format pistols are out. Worst case is all semi-autos and all mags over 10 rounds are out. Yes of course all of that is unconstitutional but it will take court cases to get there.
That would leave lever, bolties, revolvers, and pump shotguns as Virginia guns.
This sucks.

I did not have much luck zeroing my scope using a bore laser.
The best way I found is to set the target up 50 yards from you and remove the bolt from the rifle.
Look through the bore until you see the target. Then raise your head up and look at where the reticle is and make the necessary adjustments on the scope until the reticle is on the target.
When that is done, put the bolt back in and put a shot on the target and make adjustments on the scope until you are hitting where the reticle is aiming.
Also check out You Tube videos, there are plenty that will help you with zeroing.

He'd let us smoke cigars and taught us how to shoot craps (we'd already picked up the rudiments of poker elsewhere). He'd also look the other way if we swiped the occasional shot of his bourbon.
Looking back on it, he was teaching us to be men.
Nowadays a guy like that would be thrown under the jail.
If he was a quack doctor who wanted to cut off our cocks and inject us with experimental hormones so we'd grow tits, however, he'd be praised.
I don't know how the world came to this.

Only you and your numbers guy can answer this for you, of course, but personally? I wish I'd done it earlier, even if that meant somewhat less income.
I've got enough to comfortably feed my vices and would have had regardless (I don't have any of the real expensive vices...heh). In retrospect a few more years of not dealing with bulllshit would've more than made up for the smaller income.

I'm reading that housing in that part of the world (and going south on the Gulf Coast) is getting hammered due to the requirements for hurricane insurance forcing people out of places they can't afford the higher premiums for. Condos are getting crushed because recent HOA funding problems (remember the collapse of the condo tower in Miami?) forced HOAs to increase their monthly fees and send out costly special assessments to their members. Prices are getting crushed because of the glut of sellers and lack of buyers. Time might be on your side for now.

Maybe the royalties off of the various mag wells in all the other PCC's are sufficient. Assuming they get them.
I have an early Ruger 9mm PCC that has the swappable mag well. It'll take Ruger PCC or Security 9 mags... or if you swap out the mag well with the included Glock patterned one you can use most any Glock mag in it.

In addition to layoffs and firings, another thing I've been energetically pushing is to decentralize the federal government. Put the EPA in, say, Detroit, and Agriculture in Arkansas. Or at least send the bulk of the employees out to the sticks and let them communicate with skeletal management teams in Washington using the wonders of modern technology. You'll then see a lot of bureaucrats and their camp followers retiring early or finding other jobs. Plus, the federal government would save a lot of money; its agencies and bureaus pay very high rent in D.C.
Got to be careful, though, to distribute the bureaucrats widely, or centralize them in donk strongholds that are permanently Democrat anyway. We don't want to send them to places where they can swing an otherwise red state blue (vide Virginia).

======
First check the scope mount for proper torquing of screws and the mount. As Weasel says, wobbly shit no bueno.
A laser sighter is probably going to be a waste of money for a 22 LR. Figure out whether you want a 25 yd or 50 yd zero and shoot the ammo that you will normally use from a bag or some other sort of rest.
Correct the scope accordingly.
A bore collimator, if you can figure out how to use one, is a better bet in most cases of a scoped rifle than a laser bore sighter.
Bolt actions, where you can remove the whole bolt, simply use looking down the bore to rough sight in the firearm before taking it to the range.

I nominate the 1941-42 Malaya Campaign and the subsequent Fall of Singapore as the worst defeat the British ever suffered. Nearly 140,000 British, Indian, and Australian troops were lost, with some 100,000 plus spending the next 3.5 years as POWs at the tender mercies of the Japanese. To make things worse, they were defeated by a smaller, better trained, more mobile force that outfought and outmaneuvered them from the first day to the last. Singapore fell on February 15, 1942, just over two months after the campaign began.

I knew she'd do this, that she couldn't help it. Amber Glenn, first US openly LGBT skater, made a statement that she is skating at the Olympics for "the community," not the US.
If the US had balls they'd fire her and have her alternate skate. But they know she's a shoo-in for a medal, especially with Russia not here. So they won't.
She also said that coming out was what made her skating better. Like Will in Stranger Things, it's her superpower! The gay community/mafia is like the Borg. Only the Borg matters. Assimilate. Resistance is futile.

For scopes, a collimator works better if you can fix it to the actual bore and it can help also center the scope's horizontal and vertical axis relative to the bore. Recent years, those have become scarcer.

Good plan. Spend some time in Ybor City. My first introduction was early 90's. Took Little there a couple years ago and turned him on to Columbia - a Cuban/Spanish restaurant that has existed at that spot since 1905. He's been to just about all of their locations, except for maybe the one at Tampa airport. The rest of the town peaked around the early 2000's, but that could just be my old and biased opinion...

For the time when it was introduced (191
, the 20 rounds in the BAR was a pretty good weapon. In a time when a bolt action rifle was the standard arm of the infantry, 20 rounds of automatic fire in a package under 20 pounds was pretty good to have. By the start of WWII, the BAR wasn't the king of the battlefield anymore. By 1944, when the US Army entered combat in very large numbers, the BAR was completely outclassed by the MG34 and MG42. The BAR remained competitive in the Pacific because the Japanese didn't have anywhere near the number automatic weapons the Germans did. The Japanese MGs were mostly magazine fed and didn't use belts.Posted by: Ed L at February 08, 2026 08:30 PM (BCwQW)

Full credit for the counter-programming. Next year? Start the show at halftime and let it run for an hour after the 2nd half kickoff. Real performances from multiple venues. Choke off the SB ad revenue. Year after that? Same thing, with bigger stars, scheduled to start five minutes after SB kickoff. Create an audience drought for SB ads...

He said the show makes no sense is an affront to the greatness of America and does not reflect the nation’s standards of success creativity, or excellence Trump also claimed that nobody understands a word this guy is saying and criticized the dancing as disgusting calling the performance a slap in the face to the country.

I'd like to see that and compare it to my current truck bag. Probably a lot of great minds thinking alike there!
I am trying to figure out the "what can I put in my pocket" level of EDC.

The ironic thing is it's 100% something Charlie Kirk would say as well. And all of his fans.
Calling people Nazis, mutilating and grooming kids, and letting people into this country that are raping and killing people is hardly love, bad bunny. Spare me the sanctimony.
I kind of want Kayleigh to announce the number of illegals ICE nabbed at the halftime show, and their alleged crimes, at tomorrow's press beating.

He's WAY overrated...or conversely, when the pressure is on, he shrinks. Like a Mark Sanchez...
Posted by: Nova Local at February 08, 2026 09:13 PM (tOcjL)
I forgive him for the Denver game. Blizzard conditions no one played good offense. He even ran for first downs. But today in perfect conditions… awful. Missing even easy throws
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at February 08, 2026 09:18 PM (xT8gx)
He was bad before the Denver game - that 1st half crystallized his badness (he was actually better in the 2nd half b/c he ran).
And the sack fumble just to be completely awful...I wish Stidham had made it and his coach had let him just 3 and out all game (vs that fumble that gave NE the game)...it would have been more interesting to have 2 QBs who were both just planning to game manage the run...we could be 0-0 then...

Interesting to me the first image in that commercial which was linked here some weeks back, is the horse running out of the barn (as in the horse has bolted, toothpaste is out of the tube, etc).
I haven't watched a minute of the Superbullshit in the 20's. Too bad, the NFL used to be kinda neat.

Leftists are nothing if not hypocritical. There was a line by one of the alternative performers that “just because you hate me don’t assume I hate you.” This is entirely beyond their ability to understand. We pray for their depraved souls. They wish death on us. Hopeless idiots.

Actually, it could, depending on the age of the sprinkler. The old ones had wax that melted to release the valve. The new ones are a bit more sensitive. But the water that comes out is nasty, black and stinky, not the nice cl a shower they always show. It is disgusting.

A lot of musical greats are getting close to their final curtain call. But they still have fire in the tank. Every halftime show should be one news act and one older one working together. A double draw showing their love of America. Show the kids how it's done before they came perform anymore.
Instead we get jay Z choosing, and he is only concerned with featuring young dumb stars willing to kiss his... assets.

Seattle played dirty and thought they had the game in hand...worst thing to do is to take a dejected, de-energized team and piss them off. All that adrenaline and emotion gets they hyped to play and stick it to you. I mean, I'd say it's 50-50 if NE pulls a comeback off b/c it only requires Maye to play like a normal QB vs wookie-ass...
Although it will be hard at the 1...maybe the punter should be MVP...

You could get one sprinkler head to go off with a lighter, but not every one in an office building, as is so often depicted. That would make a good comedy scene, though. The hero holds up his lighter, and for his trouble only gets himself drenched with filthy water, as the villains point and laugh.
