I was hoping she would spawn a new species of super lizards to terrorize hikers. She was an escape artist, so when she went in the back yard I had a little vest leash thing with a tennis ball on the end. It was too big to fit in the holes she dug and too heavy for her to climb the wall. Roomies probably still jump when someone rolls a tennis ball towards them. I did love that little beastie. Had her over 10 years which may be a record for that particular breed in captivity. She hated me every day of it and bit me Every time She caught me slippin.

What a racist center of uranus. Let's boycott!

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing 2,996 and injuring more than 6,000. No guns were involved; reportedly, they used boxcutters to hijack the planes. That was not the first attack on the World Trade Center, though. In 1993, some Islamic terrorists tried to blow up the north tower, with the intention of making it fall into the south tower, so as to kill thousands of people. They made the mistake of parking the truck below a particularly strong section of the garage, so the north tower did not collapse as planned. They killed “only” six, but injured more than 1,000. Again, no guns were involved; the weapon was a fertilizer bomb. On April 19,1995, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols blew up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 (including 19 children and 3 pregnant women) and injuring more than 680. No guns were involved; the weapon was a Ryder rental truck loaded with diesel fuel and fertilizer. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Trsarnaev killed “only” three people, but they injured/maimed/disfigured 264 others. Their weapons were two pressure cookers, containing homemade “kitchen table” explosives, ball bearings and nails. Way back in 1920, before there were Ryder trucks, somebody (“Italian anarchists" suspected) killed 38 and wounded 143 using a horse-drawn wagon loaded with dynamite and lead sash-weights. That made the Bombing of Wall Street the deadliest act of terrorism in the US since a disgruntled union organizer killed 21 and injured 100 by blowing up the Los Angeles Times building with a suitcase filled with dynamite -- in 1910. The Bombing of Wall Street had the highest casualty count until the Bath Elementary School bombing in 1927, in which 38 schoolchildren and 64 adults were killed (far worse than the Sandy Hook shooting). In an incident with some similarities to the Pulse club shooting, Julio Gonzalez killed 87 people at the Happy Land Social Club in New York City, mostly Hondurans celebrating Carnival. Unlike Omar Mateen, Julio Gonzalez did not use a semi-automatic assault weapon with a high-capacity magazine. He used a plastic bucket with $1 worth of gasoline, and a match. People who want to ban guns (some guns or all guns) need to be careful what they wish for. They think that the basic economic Law of Substitution will lead psychos who cannot get guns to use knives or sticks or rocks or something less lethal. History shows otherwise. Psychos who don’t use guns kill and injure far more people than those who do use guns. They substitute things that are impossible to regulate, like gasoline, diesel fuel, plant fertilizer, household bleach, nails and pressure cookers. If, somehow, gun-regulators could confiscate every gun and “high-capacity magazine” in the country, mass violence would get worse, not better, because the substitutes for guns are fire and explosives. It sounds counter-intuitive, but when we hear about mass killings with guns, we probably should be thinking “Thank God they only used guns; otherwise it would have been much worse.”

Lol. I was totally going to release my desert monitor (grey monitor) out in the mountains while I was mountain biking. She was old and I thought it would be nice to let her go out with some dignity. She died before I got the chance though. That little dinosaur was nothing but a prehistoric reject killing machine. Would attack the glass every time I came near. I'd let her out in the back yard and she would Chase my pothead roommates. It was so Damn funny.

Whoever suggested that was immediately promoted.

I'm just saying this one is going to be expensive.

Better believe they are about to figure that out!

Last thing I read said ankle deep water. Can't imagine the trauma of all parties involved. That's brutal.

Also be interesting to see if they report how many people swat took out in the "gunbattle" since they already admitted it was likely they shot a few.

Not saying I think it didn't happen, just open to the possibility it didn't happen how they say, or for the reason they claim. Is there a round count yet? Curious to find out how many mags this lone gunman carried into the club in regular clothing.

SWFA and the firearm blog both posted about it this morning. Throw them in the trash pile with troy, dicks sporting goods, and cheaper than dirt.

Could have just been the gas block. Get 'er out and do some shooting!

Part of me wants to vote yes....

Along with the southern poverty law center or whatever that other crap is called.

Of course they do.....

Aldous Huxley wrote a book about the connection between religious experience and hallucinations, wether it be drugs or even just fasting. Called heaven and hell. Interesting read.

Laughing so hard picturing that minute of chaos

I've done a fair bit of research into psychedelics...for both scholarly and recreational purposes. Before it was banned by the entire world, LSD showed amazing results with heroin addicts and alcoholics. It forces you to REALLY look at yourself...unfiltered. most people will never know what that feels like. Its both horrifying and supremely enlightening.

Any factory brass cased ammo should run fine in that gun. Most of the time people consider them over gassed. With that said, I usually have some known high quality hard hitting ammo on hand for initial function check. Some heavy (168-175gr) federal gold metal match is a good choice. Just to remove one step from the troubleshooting process. If the carrier is sliding by hand, and you don't feel a little "bump" right before it closes to indicate the gas tube is hitting the key, than you are probably fine. It would be noticable. I've never had that hanguard, but it's probably not too tough to remove. There's most likely a YouTube video out there about it. I'd say pull it off and snap a few pics. Its most likely that, or the magazine. There's a chance that the factory put a standard AR15 bolt catch in there. We've seen it happen here. Could even be an over-gas situation causing the bolt to outrun the catch. Welcome to the 308ar jungle lol. We'll get you sorted out.

Looks like the buffer stuff is right, and doubt both mags are bad. I'm assuming it's carbine length gas so the system should have plenty of punch in any case. I'd look at that gas block. If he misaligned it it may be choking off the gas port. Are you able to remove the rail to expose and examine the gas system? Also, pull the upper and slide the carrier in and out by hand. Make sure it moves nice and smooth, and that the gas key isn't hitting or binding on the gas tube when it closes. One thing I do with any new 308 build is start with one round in the mag. Do this a few times to make sure it locks back. Once you get that situated, put two or three rounds in. Its easier to troubleshoot one problem at a time.

Did you fire it before the modifications?

The people who create the environment that fuels this sort of tragedy then turn around and use it to dig in deeper.

?

I heard they removed the factory junk, so carbon and aluminum might be a nice upgrade

I have a buddy that uses them for hunting, but they didn't look like something I'd be into. This PRI thing looks cool though.
