Not trying to derail your thread, I was hoping to get an answer about this. I was accused of not being "honest about why my thread was not made public". I came forward and was completely honest and I was hoping for the same in return as to why my thread was deleted twice and not given a chance to be seen.

I've invested my life into helping others and searching for answers to help others. I wanted to share my work here and twice was denied - and then accused of being dishonest which marred my character.

It's probably best to just let this go.... the moderators said you violated a "rule", so, you did. It doesn't matter whether you agree with their decision... this forum is not a democracy. It is totally up to the owners to decide what is acceptable, and what is not.
Perhaps you should send the mods a request for approval before you post something "borderline" next time.... let them decide ahead of time ?

I don't think they can do anything to abolish our gun rights.

What we need to do is stop buying drugs and that would get rid of a lot of these problems.

For my recent birthday, my older half-brother gave me this rifle. It is a WW2 era M1 carbine. This particular one was made in 1944, so it's 10 years older than me, and is "well used"....
I was floored by his gift... I've always wanted one, but never wanted to pay the crazy prices they have come to demand...
I plan to shoot it some this weekend....

this is the cartridge it shoots.... the .30 Carbine. Magazines hold 15 rounds.

I love this.
I have always thought about purchasing a tank and an F16 when i hit the lottery and park them both in downtown Boston.
When all the liberals start complaining about that, i will say the following as i walk out of my apartment:

"Residents of Boston. The quiet hours in the city of Boston are from 11PM until 7AM.
I operate my tank and my jet from 7:01AM until 10:59PM.
Love you all and call me for any other questions"

Can I borrow your tank for a rendezvous? Just to set some boundaries.

Of course, but please come during non-ordinance hours to respect the city law and our neighbors.
In fact i may even turn this into a family event.

"Come drive my tank for free and experience total freedom"

.... ok then..... back a little closer to the topic....

I got to take the M1 carbine out for a test run.... it was shooting perfectly, up and down, at 50 yards, but was off to the right. I tweaked the rear sight a little at a time, and finally got it almost centered... still a little to the right... I found out that the sight assembly itself was not centered in the dovetail slot... when I got back home, I corrected that.
I can't wait to get it back out and try it some more. It shows a lot of promise, accuracy wise, even with my old eyes....

This is why I shoot starlings. The guy in the video is using an FX Dreamline.

A guy once said, for a thousand years governments have found specific groups to pick on and turn the populist against, and in the end, when they've been destroyed, people look back and ask, what did they even do wrong?

Yes, it is first a spiritual war.
This includes the infowar, which is used to turn others who have power through sheer numbers and posses labor/ wealth against another.
The pattern is consistent.
✓Evil leaders are users of other men's labors and the fruit of the wombs of other wives/ mothers.
✓They try to control the narrative.
✓ To them the lives of the poor are expendable as ammunition.

Please pray for a case that involves the NFA. The DOJ just appealed to the higher court.

Reviving this almost dormant thread....
I just got a new tool for my load testing.... I've used regular chronographs for velocity measurements when working up loads... this is relatively new to chronographs.... it's an actual doppler technology radar unit. It's supposed to be quite a bit more accurate/consistent than the conventional types.
The best part is that you set it on your bench without having to set anything up downrange. Use it for 10 shots, then stop it. Start it back up later if you wish, without having to wait for a range cease-fire.... (plus it's cool looking :cool:)
I plan to try it out in the next few days.... this pic is what it looks like.... just a generic web pic... I'm much better looking than that guy in the pic... :ROFL:
