Hope I never understand the illness. That makes sense from my experience, change from a drop of water in an ocean to an ocean in a drop, Rumi said something like that, made me wonder what kind of shrooms he did.

What made you decide to move to the 308 AR/AR-10 Platform?
jtallen83 replied to imschur's topic in General Discussion
That one is on the list for sure! There's a long barrel version with a tank break sitting in Davenport Iowa waiting for me to decide it isn't to expensive or 65b to bite, whichever comes first. I keep thinking there can't be that many of us that really want one could there? -

Honest to god I was going to the LGS to negotiate a price for a new AR-50 and a used AR-30 last Wednesday when I was turned away at the door by the ATF, kinda spoiled the moment for me. Looks like they will still be open monday to work on that negotiating though. -

I bought a 50BMG cleaning kit a couple years back, nothing yet but sooner or later something will show up that needs cleaned. -
ATF Closes My FFL for the Day?

I'm selling tools mostly but tools that are 100 plus years old so not as painful. I've had three different old straight screwdrivers sell for over $100, I might even be able to buy a new snap on for that Seriously though one of the first criteria I use is can it still do what it was supposed to do when new, been selling the bent, cracked, and broken antiques first. It's slowed down a bunch since last year but old junk can make some stupid money! You can't saw a lick with these but hey, I'll take it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314055538220 https://www.ebay.com/itm/255592011427 and primary arms just got it. -
Haven't gotten a person on that number yet, figure more than one message a week sounds desperate, I am, just don't want to sound that way I think I can make something work if I have to but I'm no machinist so hard telling what I'll tear up, hell I can drive it with a nail set if it comes to it.

I decided the KC office was the best place to send an email, close enough in the chain but not in the desk across the office, if I can use 5 minutes of their time I'm happy, only fair to let them see what I sent the media anyway. yep, this might sting the more people poking the fewer stings per person. -
Hello! - Looking for help with Wilson Combat Build

There are always exceptions, Stoner anyone? Sorry, the history geek in me had to point out that Stoner was a plane guy before being a gun guy, I wonder what he thought about the burr though, did they ream, drill, or both I have to admit to wanting to clean that burr up real bad myself, even knowing it ain't gonna matter something makes me want to clean it up........ nobody better post a link to some stupid expensive tool that cleans up the burr -

I agree, if you don't hold it you don't own it and owning a wad of paper doesn't do much for me. I've been scorned my whole life for not holding on to money, I've lived for near a year now by selling schit out of my basement, and you still can't tell I sold anything -

And knowing that is like an inoculation. He wrote this for people like us Brother, another sign of the times, protest art, check out Bob's list; You can't put this quote out there enough, they believe it, it was a plan not a warning. -

I realize that, the article listed the credit card servers as the source of the records, hence my suggestion of a check. I understand the level of surveillance, might not know the details like you but I get what's going on. These should be changed to copper, blocks the rf better -

A check in the mail was the only way to buy from Brownells for decades, they still have people that remember how to do it I bet, if I lived in one of those restrictive states I would be using a check for sure. I really need to try and get to their store, can't even call it new anymore as they have added on already. -

To this point they haven't told him he did anything wrong if he did, he knows what I know. They gave press releases to all the local media, no info just yes we went to these locations, can't comment on an ongoing investigation. The Ruby Ridge comment was not exclusively for me, it came up between agents and employees during the fishing expedition. For now you can still click buy it now on his Gunbroker listings so they maybe aren't so sure about the line they think he crossed. https://www.1380kcim.com/2022/09/01/details-still-scarce-on-atf-fbi-raids-at-five-west-central-iowa-locations-wednesday/ -
I'm looking for a barrel nut wrench like this one; If you have anything similar send me the size of the notches and I'll check it with the nut. I swear these were in stock and on clearance when I bought that upper............. I knew I should have bought the wrench in anticipation of finding the receiver instead of the other way around, pain of failure would have been much less

You can always tell by the neighbors actions, their behavior over time didn't seem to foster any neighborly help, people came from around the country when the law went after the Bundy's, there's a lesson in there somewhere. Hate you had to deal with them but hey, maybe the property values will spike now

Makes you wonder when Kristallnacht is planned for, or was that the Trump raid? Either way a corner has been turned. -

He was walking me right down the domestic terrorist warning sign list, the list in the videos below talking about Waco and Ruby Ridge, His Waco question was "Who burned the babies?" Sure seemed to be walking me down a line of questioning that meshed perfectly with what the document in these videos describes. Classic good cop interrogation schit, I'm just like you approach. Can't blame them, they are inundated with warnings of white supremacists, it's bound to work its way into the thought process. If he's gonna go and try to put me on a list for brownie points he will be disappointed, those brownies went stale a long time ago. Fired this off to everyone from Sheriff to Senator, included the links for context in case they are not aware; "I had an interesting conversation with an ATF agent at BW Outfitters in Denison this morning. I have to say I feel like I have been questioned by the Gestapo or KGB, very polite but the nature and direction of the conversation he guided struck a chord with a recently released DOJ memo about how to recognize domestic terrorists, I do have a Molon Labe sticker on my car, have for years and years, it was the motto of the special operations command when I was a Ranger in the early 80’s, I have my old battalion flash on there as well. I went to the gun store only to be met at the door by an ATF agent and told they are closed for the day. I left but thought who the hell are they to say that, put crime tape up or let the owner close the place, so I went back around to watch. A dozen cars and at least as many agents, as they ended an outsider meeting and headed in I told them they better work fast as America is tired of the crap and likely to throw them all out of a job, this drew an agent to my car. He asked if I was ok, I told him fine but a guy doesn’t get a chance to tell an actual ATF agent what he thinks of the ATF very often so I grabbed it, I told him I had rehearsed all sorts of profanity but since he was a man and treated me as such he didn’t deserve it, he chuckled and asked if I was recording. I said no and he started explaining how it was the regulatory side of the agency causing all the problems with braces and triggers, the public has the wrong impression, he just wants to chase down gang bangers. I expressed that chasing gang bangers is not in the constitution as a federal responsibility. He then asked who runs Chicago. I said I didn’t know what gang ran it now, he said no I mean what party? What party runs Des Moines? Next he wants to know who burned the children at Waco, who was responsible, FBI, ATF? Then he asked who did Ruby Ridge, I reminded him Randy was from around here, I had met Randy as a kid but I only know what people say, an FBI sniper shot his wife. There was one more question that led to an immediate answer of the FBI but I don’t recall what it was because my mind was going to the Project VERITAS leaked DOJ document that laid out to agents how to recognize a domestic terrorist……….. Have I just made a list? He guided me right down the qualifications. I’m curious how you would answer those questions and if you think an agent should be asking me those questions in light of the document he undoubtedly received from his bosses? Time to get a handle on the goon squads before they think they own us all." I just have to poke, can't help myself, I think I will send it to his agency today. -
Yep, low on rounds per weapon but closer to the ball park than I'll ever be able to get.

Most of them moved to his house now, nobody wants to talk anymore......... looking for machineguns, he has a pile of them so I suppose it's gonna take some time to get to all of them and check them off, who knows how many responsible parties are on the paperwork. That many eyes on him they are gonna see something but this guy has been teflon in the past. He has been charged with so many crimes people just assume he is a criminal, he has never been convicted and received a great big check every time a PD fires him, he's just a big target that makes his own way, sells a crazy number of guns, @Robocop1051 knows of him I think, Brad Wendt.
