  1. Saudi's are no ones friend and have a firm foot in each camp while playing one side off against the other.
  2. I suspect it's not so much the equipment's fault as to the operators and what the system is set up to detect. Like many alarm systems there are 'filters' that are set to ignore nuisance detections( bird flocks or wildlife). The more sensitive the more monitoring that is required.
  3. The fish are just a bonus, to a great day on the water,
  4. Interesting, here the unelected senate is appointed by the federal party in power with no requirement to listen to anyone. The last batch was some media personalities, a sports star and party faithful( big donors) , their main purpose is to rubber stamp legislation
  5. As an outsider I find the US Constitution a brilliant document and demonstrated by forethought of the founding fathers to install checks and balances. Unlike Americans I actually do not directly vote for my country's leader, our Senate is appointed not elected( Americans recognized this issue hence the 17th amendment), once in power there is little oversight of a majority government in Canada.
  6. Thanks applies even more up her, gun laws are federal government rather than provincial
  7. Brilliant Airsoft not a problem up here. Ironically about 1/3 of my stuff I couldn't bring with me if I moved stateside( half if I chose to go to California)
  8. Thanks sketch but I have my hart set on the ones pictured... pretty sure it will give some precious snowflake a meltdown
  9. It's probably cheaper to disable a stripped lower, the problem isn't getting solid cast or 80% into Canada but getting it out of the USA. The solid cast is an ITAR controlled item, so as a general rule I can get a stripped lower for about the price of an 80% here so not a big market for incomplete lowers. I'm hoping the item is a single piece cast 'cause assembling one from spare parts will add up pretty quick not to mention the temptation to 'borrow' parts for builds
  10. You never know how much ammo you have till you move
  11. Well I'd like to think as an electrician I could get the light to work or at least get an apprentice to sort it out. Ironically if we used any actual AR lower( even PSA) I'd have to trigger lock and secure the lampstand As long as the lower is an AR it's considered a restricted class firearm,even if it's a single shot bolt action upper. Hoping these are a one piece casting.
  12. It's a toss up either he told an Air Force joke they didn't like or it's a date he never called back
  13. As people say they will desensitize but you can make it a less stressful proccess. Well if your patient and take some time it's doable,horses and wildlife do acclimatize to gunfire.My local range has to call ceasefires when deer wander onto a hot range. We physical have to go out and chase them as gunshots/bear bangers have no effect. There isn't one single solution ,start with placement of range and direction one fires. Firing from inside an open sided shelter with the back towards the pasture is most ideal. As a musician try get some sound absorbing/deadening panels to use on the shack Along with the backstop berm, a berm between range and horses, adding trees bushes helps absorb some sound. Ideally your trying to reduce the sharpness of bang rather then loudness. Even if you can't do everything all is not lost. Start by using .22s and while someone is shooting(slow fire) have person by paddock with food/treats. The ideal spot is the point furthest from range as this is where horses will go to. While skittish at first possible, if you don't appear concern and there is food that goes along way. In a perfect world if you can have a horse that's 'bomb proof' start with them then slowly add other horses, horses will take cues from other horses as to the 'danger' Another trick is to also pre-warn the horses that shooting will commence, horses flight animal and their instinct is to run first then after a bit stop and if no danger they stop and eat. Hooking up a buzzer near the paddock(doesn't have to be loud) that you can activate from the firing line just prior to commencing shooting.Realistically this one is a bit overkill. Start slowly, observe and go from there. It is doable
  14. With a logic like that, let's eliminate fire extinguishers and prevent fires.
  15. I remember picking up an Colt LE901 lower really cheap.Trying to find an upper in Canada proved almost impossible and most dealers thought AR-10/308AR interchangeable. I actually put together a quick blurb with basic info that I started sending along with my inquiries. On the plus side I found myself here where I find myself feeling like the oil change kid getting to hang out in a F1 garage learning lots and in time hoping to give back.
