Gun Thread: Never, Ever Volunteer for Anything Edition! [Weasel]

Hold my beer! (not an M1917)

Welp, I've been promising you a video of the Model of 1917 for a while and I was able to get down to the farm for a couple of days this past week and do some shooting with it. Let's take a look at that below, shall we?

Model of 1917

As I mentioned in the video, when I bought this rifle it still had the original barrel, dated 1919, which was toast. After a thorough cleaning I could tell it was a mess and a quick trip to the range confirmed it. I looked around and decided the Civilian Marksmanship Program Custom Shop in Anniston, Alabama was the best bet for having this classic rifle rebarreled, and they did an outstanding job. It's not quick, but the cost was very reasonable and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. The way it worked was to fill out a work order and send it in to be placed on a waiting list, which at the time was about six months. Right on schedule, they called to give me a service order number and authorized me to send in the rifle. At that time I inquired about custom chambering, and was told it was no problem. I sent in the rifle and the chamber specifications I wanted, and a few weeks later I had the rifle back with a new parkerized Criterion barrel, and the chamber cut exactly as I had requested.

Although in the video I was shooting surplus Lake City M2 Ball ammunition manufactured in 1969, I have worked up a custom handload for this rifle and as I recall without too much effort it was holding right around 1.5 MOA. The limiting factor, of course, is my marksmanship and more specificaly my old eyeballs. I had briefly thought about competing in Service Rifle Matches with the gun, but ultimately never pursued it, and just enjoy shooting it for funsies now. If you ever have a chance to own or shoot one of these classics, don't miss the opportunity!

Here's a vintage photo of some guys and an M1917.

Some guys with a M1917

Oh! And a followup on the Oakley glasses. They worked fine and I would recommend them. The model is M Frame Strike and Oakley currently has them discounted on their website at about $100. Again, that's sort of pricey for a pair of plastic glasses which probably cost 7 cents to produce, but the lenses are very clear and I noticed only a minimal tendency for fogging. With a Dorkiness Coefficient of .3 they're not likly to chase off all of the range babes either, so as long as I can keep from scratching them all to hell, I think they're a decent investment.

******

So our pal Jim Sunk New Dawn recently took a trip to the range, and here is his report:

A quick 25 rounds, before lunch today. Taurus Model 85, Total Titanium, chambered in .38 Spl +P. Two-inch barrel, fixed sights. Winchester-Western 148 gr. Full Wadcutter, Hollow Base target loads. 7 yards, all rounds fired double action. 6 minutes, 37 seconds on the PACT timer, first shot to last.
Range Report. There were no Rental pocket guns available, they had all been sold, at premium prices, to desperate, grasping customers. I had planned to fire another 25 rounds from a Kel Tec .32 or .380. Next time to the range, I'll break out the Beretta .32 Tomcat, and give it a whirl.
Lesson One: It's not that snubbies aren't as accurate as their larger kin.
Lesson Two: Develop SKILL with the mouseguns, and build CONFIDENCE in what they can do, if skillfully employed.
Lesson Three: Don't consider yourself "under-gunned" with one. Consider the bad guy OVER-SURPRIZED at the effectiveness of your defense.

Jim SND 25 rounds at 7 yds

Let's take a closer look

Words of Wisdom, brother! In addition to being an all around great Moron, you can see that Jim is one hell of a shooter. Nicely done, and thanks for sending this in!

Last week our pal Sua Sponte was breaking in a new rifle and trying various .22LR ammo. This week he was back on the range and let's see what he had to say.

Had some time to go another round of testing and nothing could be more enjoyable than being out in the open and seeing what this Ruger Precision can do and with what ammunition.
Probably spent about four hours out on my range today and there are a few things I've learned:
-Work on my trigger control
-Work on my breathing
-Relax and enjoy
-Expectation management

This! Absolutely a thousand times this! If you want to improve your shooting, you have to have a plan during practice at the range, and it helps to remind yourself what it is periodically. Focus on the fundamentals, but have fun and manage expectations. I cannot overemphasize this enough. Everyone has a bad day at the range. It happens. I have seen competitors make a bad shot and come completely unglued as a result, effectively taking themselves out of the match. They may have made a mistake in their fundamentals, but they also stopped having fun and were certainly not managing expectations. Relax.

Sorry for the mini-rant, and back to Sua Sponte's report...

Out of the table today, along with what I've compiled the past few weeks, I would have to say the ratings for which ammunition I think best performs with the Ruger Precision, just my opinion - your mileage may vary, for precision shooting would be:
1-CCI Mini Mag 40g CPRN
2-Blazer 40G LRN (surprisingly)
3-Winchester Sub Sonic 43G LHP (another surprise)
4-Federal Automatch 40G LRN
5-Aguila SE 40G CPRN
6-Aguila SE 40G LRN
7-Winchester Super-X 40G CPHP (I just could not get this stuff to tighten up)
8-Remington Golden Bullet 40G PRN (This has not performed well at all. It's decent ammo, but, probably stretching it to fulfill a precision role)

I think the next step is to zero down on the top six and then maybe go on to a top three out of that. Once I accomplish that, will move out to 75 yards, narrow those down and then see what they'll do at 100 yards. Regardless of how things turn out, I'm having a blast and I do believe that installing the Tandemkross Game Changer comp has helped. But, sometimes firearms can be picky with ammo, even used in the same name brand firearm. If anyone has suggestions on any ammo they have tried that performs well at distance, would love to hear.
I've included two that I did take out to 75 yards, which I had time to do more but it was getting dark.

Aguila SE 40gr 75 yds

Blazer 40gr 75 yds

Thanks for the report, Sua Sponte, nicely done. Look forward to seeing how it goes at 100!

28 My unit deployed early from Germany to Desert Storm. One of the Cav Troops next to us had been there a few days ahead of us. As we were putting up tents and cots, they were doing bayonet drills.
A couple hundred guys slashing blades and shouting loudly was pretty damned impressive.

29 I do feel a little silly, but last night I decided it was equally silly under the circumstances to have ammunition in boxes and empty clips. I took care of that problem.

Posted by: FlimFlammed at May 31, 2020 07:10 PM (ZTDnL)

30 Ah, the Eddystone M1917. Mine was made in December, 1918. The barrel is still about 50% and she shoots just fine. All original.

The Brits called them P1917 I believe and they got a bunch back in the day.

Simpler rear sights when compared to a Springfield 1903.

Heavy, robust rifle and the bolt is a little tricky to disassemble, you have to do the coin thingee.

Bayonets are a hard find and quite valuable.

Most were sportierized by deer hunters over the years, and the receiver and barrels are prized for their ruggedness and accuracy so if you see one still in her military kit, grab it.

42 redc1c4's engraved revolver appears to be a S&W Model 3, also known as a S&W Schofield Revolver.

I'd not be surprised were it chambered in .44 Russian.

Thanks for running my Range Report, boss! I sure do enjoy that 11.5 oz. Taurus Total Titanium. With it's ported barrel, the recoil is actually quite subdued.

Taurus quit making the Total Titanium Model 85, about a decade ago. They're running right round $900 to $1,000 now, *if* you can find one.

But if you can, then BUY. It's a gem!

you never have enough ammo... and the 1.5" difference only comes into play if you are trying to clear a building.

since you need a team to do that safely, and you just want to shoot and scoot out of there, more ammo is moar better, IMHO.

like many things firearm related, it all comes down to personal needs and preferences.

61 Hi Weasel! Had to educate a youngun today about media and different forms of government. She actually asked me if someone was trying to manipulate us, and if we wouldn't be better with socialism. And she is from Minnesota, has grown children. How can a person get this old and be this unaware? I know, I know.

62 Would love to have a bayonette lug on my ar-10. But it would need to fit my ka-bar.

Basic at ft. Bliss, we didnt get bayonette training or pugil stick training. The drills wanted us to have rifle skills because we all were destined for Nike Hercules batteries in Germany and this lost of tower guard duty to protect the warheads from the commie east germans.

God that was a fun 16 weeks. Kid one class behind me became the FORSCOM SGM.

66 @16: "Gun sales are going to go through the roof due to the peaceful protests and cops being handcuffed to shut this down."

Looting in my neighborhood has convinced me to take all necessary steps to properly licensed and trained for concealed carry, and probably look into buying an evil wicked assault rifle too.

I had at least one unnecessary fade, and I keep forgetting to switch microphones for the narrative part before I start shooting.
Keyholing: when the rifling at the muzzle is worn out and does not stabilize the bullet, which hits the target sideways. Looks like a little keyhole.

Again, that's sort of pricey for a pair of plastic glasses which probably cost 7 cents to produce, but the lenses are very clear and I noticed only a minimal tendency for fogging. With a Dorkiness Coefficient of .3 they're not likly to chase off all of the range babes either, so as long as I can keep from scratching them all to hell, I think they're a decent investment."

Posted by: NC Ref at May 31, 2020 07:14 PM (AOmVJ)

There are several companies who make magazine extension tubes & packages for that gun.

It's VERY simple. Unscrew the existing magazine cap. Remove magazine spring and magazine plug. (that plug is what limits your mag to 2 rounds, to comply with Federal Waterfowl hunting laws). Now your magazine holds FOUR rounds.

But don't just put the spring and cap back on. NOW you install the aftermarket magazine extension tube, and the longer magazine spring it comes with.

On THAT, you close it up with your original magazine cap, or the one that comes with the kit.

Now your magazine holds SIX or SEVEN rounds.

Pro-Tip. Find the short Reduced Recoil shells, and test them in your gun. If they feed reliably, then use them.

Now your seven shell magazine holds NINE or TEN rounds. And the gun doesn't kick quite as hard.

All with your 18.5" Mossberg 88 rig.

120 @32...not that easy. "Antifa" as an organization is tough to define. But, the most important aspect of this is the priority it sets on defining antifa, and getting after its leaders once identified. Obama era FBI and holdovers didn't prioritize domestic left wing violence, saw it as a local issue at best. Not many resources out into the who's who, what's what of antifa. But the info is out there, and now it's a priority. Barr's announcement of joint task forces is very interesting. Immediately, in the domestic context, you might think FBI, DEA, ATF, state and local authorities making up those task forces. Officially putting the "terrorist" label on the target may open the aperture a bit on participating federal organizations. Lots and lots of people with a lot of experience looking at foreign terrorist groups will for the first time be picking apart antifa, antifa-friendly and antifa-curious groups. These little shits, and the lawyers, 501(c)s, PACs, and oppo research firms that support them wanted a promotion to the big leagues. They've succeeded. Best of luck to them. They'll need it.

Maybe not a priority, but there's always someone in the federal alphabet soup community that's keeping tabs on domestic agitators of all stripes, so they're most certainly not starting from scratch, and probably not even all that far behind.

Question about home defense shotgun: I live in a

very blue part of the state and while I have escape routes nearby to bug

out to the country, if someone starts coming thru my door or windows

its time for plan B....
After visiting my local gun store, they

recommended a Mossberg Maverick 88 20". I saw someone here recommend an

18.5" shotgun but I kinda like the idea of two more shells before

running out. Thoughts or suggestions or advice? Thanks!

Posted by: NC Ref at May 31, 2020 07:14 PM (AOmVJ)

you never have enough ammo... and the 1.5" difference only comes into play if you are trying to clear a building.

since you need a team to do that safely, and you just want to shoot and scoot out of there, more ammo is moar better, IMHO.

like many things firearm related, it all comes down to personal needs and preferences.

Posted by: recd1c4 at May 31, 2020 07:17 PM (PnmdJ)

I opted for a Remington 870 12 Gauge Express Tactical. 18.5" barrel, ghost ring sights. Wanted the pump action for simplicity. Short barrel for working through hallways until I can get out.Want more rounds, put a side saddle on it. Nice piece. Little tough for Mrs. OCiS to shoot, but she can do it.

142 Boy howdy I expect the boom enjoyed by the gun industry since C-19 thing started will now become full-blown '09/'13-style "panic". A silver lining of sorts.

I'm half-musing that maybe by Christmas, there might be some decent sales on barely used CZ-75s, by those who got 'em and don't like 'em, changed their mind, or need Christmas cash - or some combo. My next gun shopping probably won't occur til then.

Posted by: Jean at May 31, 2020 07:26 PM (B7KlG)

SIX MINUTES, 37 seconds.

Took me about three seconds to squeeze off the first round after the PACT beeped.

I kept a good cadence of shooting. Not slow fire, not a round a second, either.

Worst factor was the poor lighting on the sights. Had to work extra hard to hold a sight picture, there.

182 45"
Question about home defense shotgun"I spent the money to buy a 20 gauge auto-loader. Twice as much money as a pump shotgun. #3 buck through the gun gave a 12" diameter pattern at 20 yards with a turkey choke. There was very little recoil. Easily 5 shots on target in 3 seconds. Remington green and white box 2 3/4 #3 buckshot, 20 pellets. About 1.5x the energy of a 44mag pistol. Did I mention almost no recoil?

Unlike 00buck, the pellets will not go through an internal dry wall, an external wall, your neighbors external wall and hit your neighbors child.
Of course a 20 yard range, 60 feet, does not exist in most houses. The 12 inch pattern is going to be small at 10 yards (30 feet) or less inside a house. Accuracy will need to be like shooting a rifle. However, 20 pellets will make it difficult to miss something immediately incapacitating.

My Turkey gun has one other advantage. It looks like a hunting gun because it is made for hunting turkeys. The liberal district attorney will find it difficult to describe as an assault weapon.

I second this assessment. Today I ran through 50 rounds, doing a drill I mentioned last week where we had four targets, five rounds and were challenged to hit each target at least once as fast as possible.

We weren't really keeping time, just getting a sense of speed. The Taurus was great for this and while I've always tended to shoot it single action, it did quite well on double, and was fast to boot.

The magazine extension tube kids are model specific as to the 18.5 in. or 20 in. barrels.

It won't hurt anything if your magazine is a wee bit longer than your barrel.

Two round extension on a Remington 870 with 18.5 in. barrel, the magazine protrudes about 1/2 inch past the muzzle.

No worries!

198 I don't think the 1911 is outdated, but there are some later mods that improve the idea.
I think SIG did them best and paired it nicely with the two piece slide that is pinned together for manufacturing simplicity, but Astra did some very groovy takes on the design as well.

I think for the 1911 locked breech design the 1911 and Sig are the best designs, but I think the future is away from the camming barrel and will be some sort of compliant (bendy) breech block that mimics the action of the Saive design FN-FAL bolt.

(My dream pistol action is a hesitation blow back design that uses a strong localized magnetic field created during firing to hold the breech and barrel together long enough for the bullet to move down the barrel, and if anyone has a clue to what a piezoelectric metal would be best for use as either barrels or breech blocs, please let me know!)

Interesting discussion. I recommend a look at moly grease.

Service-wise, I've used GAA (Grease, Automotive and Artillery) and GMD (Grease, Molybdenum Disulfide). Yep, the use axel grease on the big tubes. GAA (lithium grease) works well in low pressure environs. GMD is better in high pressure. And GMD will last longer, meaning if you forget to or can't lube at the proper interval. That's the moly working after the petroleum and surfactants are gone. Seems like a bit of insurance.

204 Sorry for the OT, but the riots continue in Philly, and an hour ago, a supervisor decided he wasn't going to keep a patrol car at a looted business. Apparently the city decided they'll let the looters have their way, while the rest of us have to fill out the reports and try to keep the bastards at bay.

My division is getting crushed; a shooting, robberies, carjacking, assaults, and the bosses couldn't care less.

206 Question about home defense shotgun: I live in a
very blue part of the state and while I have escape routes nearby to bug
out to the country, if someone starts coming thru my door or windows
its time for plan B....
After visiting my local gun store, they
recommended a Mossberg Maverick 88 20". I saw someone here recommend an
18.5" shotgun but I kinda like the idea of two more shells before
running out. Thoughts or suggestions or advice? Thanks!

Posted by: NC Ref at May 31, 2020 07:14 PM (AOmVJ)

I doubt it matters that much for home defense. See if you can shoot them and decide for yourself. I do agree 20 gauge is enough for home defense, along with something like #4 buck. If you must have 12 and 00, then fine too. But the practice will be punishment and I don't fully understand the gain. Now if you are hunting geese, i can see it.

211 I have good news and bad news this week.

The good news was that the replacement grips came in for the Astra 300. Not a great fit, but serviceable. I will need to do some custom work.

A quick trip to a secure, undisclosed range proved that this is a MARVELOUS weapon platform. Holy cow.

I mentioned using the Taurus in our self-defense drill, the Astra was freaking amazing. The sights seem unremarkable, but the natural point allowed me to easily find the front sight blade, focus on it and when I raised my hand to point, I was bang on target. It was crazy. I got so cocky I started shooting it single-hand, unsupported and doing rapid fire across the targets. I should have just plain missed, but I was still getting hits!

It was crazy fun to shoot. Snappy little .380, compact, quick recovery, fun as hell. Worth the wait!

But because I can't have nice things, the C96 snapped its firing pin on the first clip of the day. So that kind of sucked.

Still the Astra made up for it.

223 NC Ref,

The advantage of the shorter barrel is it is easier to manipulate the gun in the confines of a house. For that purpose, the difference between 20 inches and 18.5 doesn't matter. Go with the one that suits your wishes: more ammo is always good.

Posted by: JTB at May 31, 2020 07:52 PM (7EjX1)

224 I don't know for sure about the Maverick 88 model ,but the Mossberg 500 has a set length magazine.(usually 5 or

because the barrel attachment is a bolt permanently installed on the barrel.I thought the Maverick was the same as the 500. Anyway the Rem 870 used to have the easy ability to add a mag extension by simply screwing off the mag cap and replacing it with a tube extension and longer spring. Even that got complicated later as they changed the spring retention plug system with a dent in the side of the mag tube that you had to remove somehow.. I think the Mossberg 590 has easy extension capability, but I've never had one.

realistically? no.

What it does is allow the Government to do things like seize all their assets with no warrant needed (Civil Asset Forfeiture) and they have to sue to get them back.

They can also freeze the assets of those who support them.

Can also get a single Judge to give Warrants all over the country (normally you have to get a Judge in that district).

So, it does mean something apparently.

9mm Luger and 8 round magazines. The West Germans never fired them much as the ones I have and have seen have pristine barrels.

Well, I'd say .380 is a bit more than a popgun, but it is quite nice. Another element in its favor is the rounded cylinder. I understand why Germany bought these in bulk for aircrews. It's compact, easy to draw, low snag and optimized for close-range work.

I'd love to see how the Astra 400 measures up. I'm thinking not as cool, but still interesting.

Depends on how you you disassemble the 1911. Way back *koffkoff* years ago in the Army, I was taught that the first step was to push in the recoil spring plunger and rotate the barrel bushing to release the tension. That's a GREAT way to put the plunger into the ceiling.

Retract the slide to the takedown notch and take out the slide stop first (like virtually every other modern, non-Glock pistol made) and you really have to work at it to lose control of the spring.

I think it varies by location.

I live in a liberal town and they had the demonstration today, but the only damage was to a police cruiser and I'm highly confident the perps will be made to pay for it.

Local police was out in force and they even had choppers overhead.

Clean the gas system, and PUT A NEW "O" RING in the thing, period.

You should have an old 35mm film cannister around somewhere. Or an old medicine bottle.

Order a half dozen "O" rings from Brownell's, and your set for (on average) a half-dozen years.

A dedicated clay or winghooter will need more than a half dozen, of course.

Keep that bottle of the "O" rings attached to or inside the gun case that holds your 1100. Replace as needed, as indicated by jams.

Hi A.H! My 400's remind me very much of the 1911.

Big pistols, but very accurate and they handle the 9mm Largo round quite well.

Tame recoil and feels good in the hand. I had one which the barrel was shot out so I was able to find a spare and it dropped right in and she's back in business.

Both made in the 1920's and still in fine shape.

365 It's always been said that Sgt York did his deed with a 1917, because that's what his unit was issued (like 95% of doughboys). But his grandson, IIRC, said that he traded it for an '03 Springfield before then. Apparently that good ol' boy didn't take to the aperture sight on the '17 and preferred the open sight of the '03 since it was like the guns he grew up shooting.

370 Mayor Jenny Durkin has a press conference going on right now, and said there is a 5pm curfew tonight, and it will be enforced.

Currently, it is 5:14pm.

There are hundreds of people standing and congregating, in the TV split screen, with nobody moving or police or NG moving to enforce her curfew.

What an embarrassment.

A reporter just asked her, "what's the point?"

She just pointed out that Guvnor Inslee's stay at home order is still in effect, so there are TWO orders to obey.

I cannot make this up.

And still nobody is moving on the split screen.

She just said again that anyone on the street RIGHT NOW should immediately go home.

438 The 1917 Enfield is a fine rifle. Mine shoots as well as my 03 Springfield, not quite as accurate. If you choose to acquire and use an Enfield keep an ejector on hand. Over time and with use they tend to be a bit fragile, the spring portion tends to break off rendering the ejector inoperative. The rifle still does what it's designed to do, you just have to pull the empty off the top of the magazine by hand.

Sunday on CNNs Situation Room, former Obama administration National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the violence during the protests over the death of George Floyd was in part because President Donald Trump demonized peaceful protests, including former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem.

So what did she say was the reason for the Baltimore riots in April 2015 --- 2 years before Donald Trump was President --- when they were given "space to destroy" by the mayor?

Not to mention all the other riots and destruction and looting and arson that occurred all throughout the Obama Administration years? Including the assassination of police officers in Dallas.

And there are no spokesmen telling us what they want. Its Terrorism without a visible cause to support. At least Islamic Terror had some rationale behind it (to support Islam).

517 It was interesting to watch Keith Ellison in less than full race mode.

Of course, he is at the top of processing the investigation and prosecution. So he was talking as a representative of the State of Minnesota.

But the irony of what he ended up saying is delicious. Here said that the accused will hire skillful attorneys who will do everything they can to unravel the prosecutorial chain. So they are proceeding with caution, and the suggestion is the the process takes time.

So, it's rational to expect the prosecutorial process to take time.

However just before that, he had said you cannot expect a marginalized minority to have patience.

So, you cannot expect this minority to understand what he's the people to whom he's making a factual argument that this takes time.

There's a rational argument that he thinks it's beyond the pale for this minority to get.

Bel-Square in Bellevue, WA is being looted right now, a TV reporter is broadcasting live, nobody is stopping them. Looters are running out the front doors by the dozens with handfulls of loot.

For those out of the area, I would doubt there is a single home in all of Bellevue that is worth less than $500,000. Maybe a condo or two, but not a single family home.

But, we live only a few blocks from the Capitol complex, and I work there, so we packed bug out bags today in case we have to leave on short notice. My question is where we should go if it comes to that... we don't have any family or friends we can hole up with. How far out of town do we need to go? We're thinking of driving to NE Missouri and looking for a small town with a mom and pop motel... we don't think any self respecting pantyfa member will bother looking for anything to loot there.

Evening roonz and roonettez. Busy day at the Refuge, Eldest Son and I managed to get the old engine out of the Subaru and get the new one mostly prepped to go back in. Unfortunately the clutch kit I got has some missing and faulty pieces, so I'll have to go back to the parts store tomorrow.

Hopefully tomorrow the new motor will be installed at least. It doesn't have to run tomorrow (although that would be nice) but I would like to see it at least in its new resting place.

I was going to keep the old engine to rebuild it but I got a good look at it and...yeah, no. Not worth the effort. So if you know of anyone who needs a J251 Subaru motor, I have one they can come and get, just needs a new crankshaft. Otherwise it's going to the scrapyard.

Update on the Bel-Square looting.

KOMO just interviewed the PR person for City of Bellevue. The Bellevue police knew last night of gangbangers who were planning this for this afternoon. About 3pm some of them, plus a lot larger crew, all flooded a bunch of stores, attacked people, stole stuff, and beat up 2 security officers.

So they knew it was coming and did nothing.

Finally about 5:30, police showed up and the thugs scattered with their loot. More theater. What an embarrassment to a civilized society.

688 610 Soros is funding Antifa in a very major way.
And he funds a lot of our own politicians, which is why all of the crap started since DJT got elected for the last 3 years.
Both sides of the aisle.

Posted by: navybrat, largely at large at May 31, 2020 09:04 PM (w7KSn)

Excellent important fact.

Soros money has bought a lot of city Attorney General offices in larger cities, where they can ignore crimes by abusing their office and not prosecuting the crooks.

Local people see the disparity and faith in local government fails.

Which is exactly the plan.

Much cheaper and very effective, eliminating local prosecution of crimes.

718 Guy Mohawk - you may be right, but the problem with
that line of thinking is that once "our" side starts shooting, we're
unlikely to stop shooting until the problem is solved once and for all. I
like the Larry Correia quote about the left thinking that violence is
like a thermostat (turn the heat up or down, depending),

and our side thinking that violence is like a light switch where the settings are "vote" and "shoot f-ing everybody."

Richmond Hill is pretty far from Savannah. I live in the city center and it takes me 30-45min to get to Richmond Hill on the highway. And the way Richmond Hill is set up with subdivisions off in the woods the rioters would be prey.

As far as Savannah, I haven't heard anything from local news yet. Just, them finding riot/vandalism supplies being left in areas. I think cities that give a shit are more prepared now that they've seen the methods the leftist have used elsewhere. It's quiet where I am.

762 If you are cowering in your urban apartment now as looters and rioters cavort outside, are you for or against the Second Amendment? It was easy when you thought you could call 911 and the police would respond. It was easy when it was somewhere else. Me? I'd rather reach for my shotgun than my cellphone when the shit hits the fan and society breaks down.

769 The astonishing and outrageous stunt back in '13, when the Park Service spent money and effort to block the WWII Memorial (an open area with no NPS staffing required or normal, AFAIK), so that *elderly vets - some of whom had made once-in-lifetime trips to DC just for this, could not see their memorial* - to me that's as good as any as a time it was clear the country was no longer a familiar one.

Generational change, sure.

But there was absolutely zero political consequences for that. Nada.

And BTW, this was all part of Shut-down Theater to block O-care, a stupid unconstitutional disastrous bit of idiocy that financially body-slammed 15M+ people while doing nothing to "help" anyone that couldn't have been done with simple welfare hand-outs.

Wasn't the beginning, but at that point I recall feeling little connection to the country as it runs itself these days.

Posted by: Pug Mahon, Mask-less at May 31, 2020 09:31 PM

I was told by a LEO years ago that if you're going to keep a bat in you vehicle, to get a glove & a ball and keep it in there, too.

Logic being: having a bat, ball, & glove makes the bat "sporting goods" and if you have to use it for self defense, you just grabbed the first thing handy.

Having just the bat could be construed as "looking for trouble"

YMMV; it was a long time ago but it sounded like solid advice at the time

796 The endgame of the urban guerilla movement isn't to win, it's to create doubt in the minds of the people that their government can protect them. They're succeeding at that beyond their wildest dreams.

It's only one prong of the strategy. Winning an election with a broad-based coalition is another part. A coalition with Joe Biden as the weak figurehead would work, but I don't think they really expect to win this time. AOC or someone like her will be the nominee in 2024.

The third part is to create so much economic destruction that Medicare for All, universal basic income, student debt forgiveness, and building a Green New Deal become mainstream ideas.

Guns are going to be important. Make sure you have one. If, for some reason, you don't have one....CDNN Sports has two very good pistols for sale for under $300: the SDVE by S&W and the Walther Creed. Both are pretty darn good, even at that price point.

Also took the car guns for a whirl, shooting my old, old GEN 3 G17. Did ok at 7 yards but wasn't as good a group as with my CZ P-07. Most of that is trigger differences. I'll practice more next week and see if I can tighten it up.

I did notice a bad flinch this week. It wasn't obvious at 5 yards double taps, but it did show up at the 7 yard double tap and Mozambique drills. Some dry firing....all right, a LOT of dry firing, cleared it up. Worth doing dry fire first before shooting live rounds during a range session.

843 Trump isn't close to understanding what the Left is doing or how to stop it. I love him, but he's stuck in some illusory world of America being united and great. This isn't happening without war, and he's not committed to the idea of it. Designating Antifa a terrorist group (way late for this) sounds good but it's a half-measure, and it won't be followed up.

They're committed to war, we're not.

844 I am appreciating the reports here from people on the ground near the riots.
Watching TV news on line and it's mostly, "Peaceful protests and demonstrators".
Except it isn't.

You can search for police scanners on broadcastify.com. I'm listening to Philly since I have to go in to the airport this week.

TeeJ, I for one would not like to be 28 feet away from you, trying to piss you off.

Good on you for getting out there. I have been slacking myself, and need to do better.

What will be interesting is how much better you will do next time. Guessing you will see improvement.

He must have not put the hammer down hard enough, then. And there are no "peaceful" marchers now. Once the riots began, any such gathering is a riot waiting to happen.

Thanks H.G. and Weasel.

Thing is, first 40 yrs of life I had eyesight to die for.
Hands were much steadier, too.
Shooting was so easy. I could just take it for granted.

Also discovered my dimes, at worst nickles running Stingers through my 10-22 at approx 30 yards have turned to quarters.
That. Sucked.

Oh, the 7mm post "work" will be ok.
Lousy platform to shoot from and 1.5 at 100 yes.
It did come back about 5 in low and right so that took a few adjustments.

856 Now a few hundred conglomorating in Bellevue near Bel-Square.

A long close up of the crowd, and it seems everyone has a multi-hundred dollar outfit on.

Not a pair of blue jeans or a scruffy jacket in the bunch.

Another 1500 or so in another march a few blocks away. Again, no jeans. Very stylish dressers.

It's Bellevue.

858 WGN - Protests against the killings of black people at the hands of police continued for a third day in Chicago Sunday, and while demonstrations have been peaceful, there have been reports of looting and other damage across the Chicagoland area.

Protests against the killings of hundreds of black people at the hands of unpoliced blacks... yeah, we don't have those.

868 My brother decided I've been having too much fun shooting my AR's and decided he wants one. I felt lucky to find a Palmetto kit, SS barrel, mid length gas system and nice magpul furniture for $520 free shipping. I just happen to have a stripped lower in the gun cabinet. I was lucky enough to get it in the hands of UPS before the kung flu, oops I mean insurrection got off the ground. So Friday I'll get a nice new shiny rifle. They're coming in about a month so we'll build it together. Had a couple of good days at the range but Friday it was 97 so I ordered a beach chair umbrella to mount on the bench.

869 I'm very happy to be far away from the riots. If I was in an area where bricks and waters were being left for antifa it would be really tempting to cut and paint some foam bricks to swap in; maybe swap out some cases of water for bottles filled with vinegar instead or just dump a bunch of salt into the water or something.
Posted by: PaleRider is simply irredeemable at May 31, 2020 08:44 PM (T9Hmo)

I would be digging into that pallet of bricks, go down 4 or 5 layers in the middle, place 2 sticks of capped dynamite, and pile the bricks back. Rig it so removing one particular brick from the edge of the pile closes the circuit to the dynamite cap.

870 TeeJ, if you're still here ...

Saw your post up above; that all sounds like solid "center body mass" hits to me. Good enough.
That's pretty much where I am at, too; I'll never be the marksman that the guy in that church shooting is, the one who dropped the shooter with a single head shot from about 40 feet.

871 You know, aside from intimidation factor, a baseball bat you'd think would be far more effective and less likely to damage the wielder than a 3 foot length of 2x4 with nails in it.

YOU CAN PEACEABLY PROTEST HERE WITH A PERMIT.

AND L.A HAS BEEN GRANTING PU-KU permits to do ...just....that.

SSSOOOOOoo...any chance you city brain trusts give a HEAD'S UP!!! to any business owners in the area you've just given another PERMIT TO????
