For those that don't use our FB website...... Posted there today: Very good read A German's View on Islam - worth reading because this is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist--a man, whose family was German aristocracy prior t...o World War II, and owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of our world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.' We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers. The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The average Japanese individual, prior to World War II, was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians, most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'? History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt. Yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. Islamic prayers have now been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?! To whom? Not to the vast majority of Canadians!). The Islamic way is only peaceful until the fanatics move in. In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food products in your local supermarket. Foods on aircraft have the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding throughout the world. In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of ?no-go? zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuses to acknowledge British law. As for we who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life. Anyone who doubts the seriousness of this issue and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, I beg you, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on in the hope that thousands, world-wide, read this, think about it, and send it on - before it's too late . . .. because we remained silent

Pore old Bambi!

It has been a good deer season here in Comanche County. Everyone (locals) that hunted last week tagged out the first 3 days. If you are hunting in this area the deer are fat and friskey.

Where is your hunting area? My brother and I had a hunting lease at Richland Springs down by Brady. I once heard an old West Texas rancher say " Iffen the good Lord decided to give Texas an enema he would stick it in in Austin."

Ain't it strange how things change when we really get down to the interesting and important situation? Yep, I never thought about being a Lesbian anything?... I always thought I was a Heterosexual American Male But Oh Well here we go!

just don't pick on an old Sea Bee CPO in a Sea Bee bar, Damn!, that made me hurt all over!

SEMPER FI!

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. As he sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their orders. The man says, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke,” and turns to the ostrich, “What’s yours?” “I’ll have the same,” says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. “That will be $6.40 please,” and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke,” and the ostrich says, “I’ll have the same.” Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes a routine until one late evening, the two enter again. “The usual?” asks the waitress. “No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and salad,” says the man. “Same for me,” says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress comes with the order and says, “that will be $12.62.” Once again the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer. “Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?” “Well,” says the man, “several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.” “That’s brilliant!” says the waitress. “Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you’ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!” “That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,” says the man. The waitress asks, “One other thing, sir, what’s with the ostrich?” The man sighs, pauses, and answers, “My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.”

That was GREAT! The younger guys may not think us old codgers ever had a all night hard on, or ever messed around during bad times, but we did have our share of good times and had a group of friends to die for. Most of my old friends have been promoted to glory or a couple are in a nursing home, while I wonder why I'm still here, forked end down and walking around, can still shoot a score of 228 score on the old Marine Corp 50 round qualifying course with my M1, getting down and up from the prone position is the hardest part of the exercise. I'm also still cussing the present bunch of turds in political control. I think I'll go out to the shop and have a cold one....

The Melonite quench, polish, quench processes involve quenching in melted salts over 1000 degrees F and is a common process used on hydraulic rams and cylinders. Polishing on gun barrels may mostly do the outside of the barrel. It would be interesting to know if the barrel maker sends out the turned and rifled barrels out to a heat treater shop.

Quick shoot the damn lion before he assults your daughter.

I combined 392heminut's post together into a 3 page Word Document I tried to add it as a file attachment ,but that didn't work. if anyone wants a copy with the pictures PM me a email address and I will email you one as an email attachment. 392heminut 308AR forum’s homemade can Okay, the old thread got a little off track and it is old so I'll start another one about my suppressor build. I got all my parts (tube, endcaps, spacer tubing, and muzzle brake) from SD Tactical; http://www.sdtacticalarms.com/ The freezeplugs for the baffles are just regular Sealed Power 381-3179 freeze plugs sourced from NAPA. Here's the titanium tube and the end caps in the raw. The outer endcap is aluminum and is undrilled but comes with a starter dimple centered on the inside. The other endcap, which SDTA calls the 'thread protector' is the one that screws onto their muzzle brake and I got mine in titanium. SDTA sells a little centering tool that sits in the freeze plugs so you can drill a 3/16th" starter hole. Once the center holes are drilled in the freeze plugs you can then start forming the cones in a press. You place the plugs over a socket to do so and if the socket is not snug then put a few wraps of tape around it so the plug fits snug. The first step to forming the cone is done with a 45 degree taper. I pulled one off the end of my gear puller to use for this. You start forming the cone by pressing the tapered end into the plug until the shoulder of the cone is down even with the freeze plug. You then take the 45 degree end out and finish forming the cone with a 60 degree tapered end. I got a cheap Morse #2 tapered dead stock and cut the end off. If you're building a 30 caliber silencer like I was you can press the 60 degree taper in until you are almost to the diameter of the hole needed. Most go about .060 bigger than the caliber so for .308 it would be about .368. If you're building a .22 cal. can you will probably have to stop with just the 45 degree tapered end so you don't make the baffle holes too large. The more you press the cones into the freeze plugs the bigger the hole gets. . After the cones are formed you should have a nice curved looking cone in the freeze Plugs I ran a 3/8" drill bit through my baffles after forming them, which gives me a .375 hole. Plenty of room for a .308 bullet to pass but not excessive. This is how the baffles will stack up inside the tube, with the cones towards the muzzle; Okay, lets see if I can get this build finished up. This is the muzzle break from SD Tactical with the thread protector (rear cap) threaded into it. The brake protrudes just a bit over 1.25" from the thread protector so I shot for a blast chamber of about 1.5" I stacked 12 baffles into the tube, then a .5" spacer and another baffle and measured and that put me just a little over 1.5" for the blast chamber. I cut the blast chamber spacer about .10" longer than what my measurement showed that I needed. I did this because the internals can settle together and get loose the first time it is shot. After taking the can to the range and putting 90 rounds through it I went home and tightened it and measured the gap between the end cap shoulder and the edge of the outer tube and filed that amount off of the blast chamber spacer to get a good snug fit. I ended up taking about .050 off the spacer tube. The spacer material I used is titanium spacer tubing sold by SD Tactical that is turned down to fit inside their outer tubes. It comes in 4" pieces and I cut it with a pipe cutter. Titanium can be a biotch to cut with any kind of saw as it gets harder when it gets hot. The Ti spacer tubing is only .030 thick but some guys have had problems cutting it with a pipe cutter. I suspect their cutting blades are dull, as I used a new cutter I bought from Lowes and had no problem cutting it. It's kind of flexible so you have to go somewhat light on the cutter tension and make several turns to cut it but it works. Ti is kind of pricey and SDTA has stainless spacer tubing that is thicker for less money but I wanted to keep this can as light as I could so I sprung for the Ti tubing. Both the blast chamber spacer and the .5" spacer were cut from that 4" piece. I painted the can with VHT Flame Proof header paint, which is rated for 1300-2000 degrees and after it dried I cured it in the oven according to the directions on the can. Don't tell my wife I used her oven, she doesn't know! So far the paint job has held up great and it can easily be repainted if it gets scratched up. What you can't see in the pic is the can is engraved with the name of my trust as manufacturer, a serial number (whatever the builder wants to use), caliber and model number. All of this is required by the ATF and must be entered on the form you submit to them to get your tax stamp along with the overall length of the finished suppressor. You can list it longer on the form than the actual length (within reason) but the length shown cannot be shorter than the finished suppressor. Another thing that can get you into trouble is changing parts in the can after it is built. That is a big no-no with the ATF! Once it is finished it can only be modified by a properly licensed dealer/manufacturer. You can alter the internals such as fine tuning the spacer like I did or clipping the baffles but you cannot legally change out any of the parts. The suppressor is legal to use with any caliber equal to or smaller than the caliber engraved on the suppressor. You can't register it as a .308 caliber and then later drill it out and use it for say a .338. That pretty much sums it up I think. If anyone has any question post them up and I'll answer to the best of my ability. 392heminut 308AR forum.doc

Oh yes that is a good one, like when a preacher went to visit a member that had surgery and the man's wife told the preacher that they had to split his scrotum.the next time that they went to church, the preacher said "it is good to see Joe here today after having his scrotum split" Joe "Yelled the sternum it was the sternum!"

Not ever having owned a Harley, I always wanted to know rhat a shovelhead Harley engine was: This picture explains a lot:

Man O" Man This is a well written, and illustrated article most comprehension-able one I have ever seen on making a suppressor, ever! Great job and a credit to your skills and intellect. With your permission I would like to put your posts into a Word Document, send you a copy by email just in case you want to pass out a copy for our member's shop books. If you don't like it chunk it into file 13, and that will be the end of that, It is your work. THANKS for sharing this project with the forum members. Mrmackc I just have one question: I don't recall seeing what you used for the .5" spacer. did I miss something?

I ordered a new self-darkening welding hood from Harbor Freight to replace the same model I have had since 2002 that was supposed to last only 6 years. They have a sale dropping the price by $12. I bought the 9 year old one while I was on a trip and my $300 branded one was left in the shop. I liked the $50 better so it became my favorite. Couldn't find the filter cartridge as cheap as the new one. A lot of HF stuff is junk but some of it is good.

Good things come to those that hide and wait in the right place, sounds like you had a good day hunting.

I am also proud of my granddaughters: This is Sammy and my great grand daughter Ava, getting ready to go to BOO at the ZOO! for halloween. Sammy is the sister to Navy GSM3 Courtney,

Dumb as a box of Rocks TRUE STORY : A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. MS Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease. 'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?' 'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track..' 'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi. Well, you might ask , 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'' Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.' Sadly, they walk among us!

A sky diving story This Baptist preacher was telling about his skydiving adventure. One of his church’s members challenged Preacher Man Bobby Ray to show some bravery and his lack of fear by learning to sky dive. Bobby Ray signed up to sky diving class and he practiced jumping off a simulated Cessna airplane and the next Saturday went up for his first dive, this happened near Beaumont Texas. The Instructor briefed them before they jumped. …”After you jump count to ten 1---2---3---4---5-- to --10 and pull the ring on your chest, the chute will pop out open and you will float to the ground at the city park.. But if it don’t pop out no problem, pull the rip cord on the emergency chute, at your left shoulder, then the chute will pop and you will float down. Bobby Ray counted almost to ten and pulled the rip cord at 9400 feet above the park, NOTHING HAPPENED! Bobby said “Oh Lord Hep Me”! And pulled the emergency chute rip cord, nothing…. Bobby Ray looked down and saw little people on the ground, and kept on falling and praying, at about 6000’ he saw a white cloud of smoke come up off the ground, Bobby Ray said…Oh Lord please send someone to help me’ about that time he saw a man appear out of the white cloud flying up about as fast as Bobby Ray was falling, coming directly towards him. The man stopped shooting up and began falling at the same rate that Bobby was falling. Bobby said “OH THANK YOU LORD for sending him to help me!” Bobby Ray shouted to the man; Do you know anything about parachutes?” The man looked kinda funny and said to Bobby Ray “No, but do you know anything about Coleman Stoves?.... Evidently, his chute popped open and he grabbed the man and floated to the ground, otherwise, Bobby Ray could not have told this story at his church the next Sunday…. This is my Story and I'm sticking to it, Mrmackc
