I think we should crash the board more often to draw him out...

This is what liberals accomplish... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/15/seattle-gun-tax-failure-firearm-sales-plummet-violence-spikes-after-law-passes.html Seattle gun tax failure? Firearm sales plummet, violence spikes after law passes By Dan Springer Published June 15, 2017 Fox News When the City of Seattle passed a tax on all sales of guns and ammunition, the measure was hailed as a way to defray the rising costs of gun violence. But since the tax took effect, those costs have only risen as gun violence in the city has surged. And the tax has apparently brought in much less than city leaders projected it would. “How much data do you need?” asked Dave Workman, senior editor of TheGunMag.com and member of the Second Amendment Foundation. “The data says the law has failed to prevent what they promised it would prevent.” Seattle City Councilman Tim Burgess introduced the tax in 2015. It puts a $25 tax on every firearm sold in the city and up to 5 cents per round of ammunition. The measure easily passed and took effect January 1, 2016. Comparing the first five months of 2017 with the same period before the gun tax went into effect, reports of shots fired are up 13 percent, the number of people injured in shootings climbed 37 percent and gun deaths doubled, according to crime statistics from the Seattle Police Department. Councilman Burgess never returned calls and emails for comment. Dana Robinson Slote, director of communication for Seattle City Council, said she was “politely declining your invitation for an interview.” In selling his gun tax to the public, Burgess predicted it would generate between $300,000 and $500,000 annually. The money would be used to study the root causes of gun violence in hopes of reducing the costs to taxpayers. Seattle officials refuse to say how much the tax brought in the first year, only giving the number “under $200,000.” Gun rights groups have sued to get the exact amount. But Mike Coombs, owner of Outdoor Emporium, the last large gun dealer left in Seattle, said the actual tax revenue is almost certainly just over $100,000, a figure based on information he says the city shared with his lawyers. Coombs said storewide, sales are down 20 percent while gun sales have plummeted 60 percent. “I’ve had to lay off employees because of this,” Coombs said. “It’s hurting us, it’s hurting our employees.” Employees at the Big 5 sporting goods stores in Seattle also report anemic gun sales. But there’s evidence Seattleites are just going outside the city to buy their guns. Coombs also owns a gun shop in the nearby city of Fife. Sales there are described as robust. Another gun dealer simply left Seattle and moved his shop, Precise Shooter, to nearby Lynnwood. Sergey Solyanik said business has never been better. He said the gun tax has probably worked out to be a net negative for Seattle when factoring lost sales tax revenue. The money that has been raised by the gun tax is sitting in a holding account during the legal battle. But Seattle has dipped into its general fund to support the gun violence research study at Harborview Medical Center. Seattle paid a total of $550,000 for the study aimed at connecting gunshot victims with social services in hopes of not seeing them in the emergency room again. “There’s a great deal of recidivism,” said Dr. Fred Rivara, a professor at the University of Washington’s pediatrics department who is directing the research. “These individuals are much more likely to come back with other gunshot wounds, to commit subsequent crimes, violent crime, to be murdered.” Unfortunately, the researchers have had no shortage of gunshot victims to help and study. Seattle police say the increase in shootings seems to be tied to the drug trade – and revenge. Allison Anderman with the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which supports gun taxes, said calling the gun tax and gun violence study failures is way too premature. “The causes of gun violence are very complex,” Anderman said. “To say this one study is lacking because it hasn’t solved the problem of gun violence in Seattle is, frankly, laughable.” Dave Workman doesn’t criticize the study, but he does think the city council should have predicted the results of the gun tax, such as gun dealers leaving with no drop in gun ownership. As for the gun violence, he says that too should not surprise anyone. “All these gun control laws affect the wrong people,” Workman said. “The gang bangers don’t go in and buy ammunition at retail, at least not around here. It certainly hasn’t stopped them from getting their hands on firearms.”

Jackass... He HAD to do it...

With all wash's EXs...

So, an AR15 midlength gas tube will be 11 3/4" long. The Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube is 12 1/16" long. On my WC .338 Fed barrel, it was stated as a midlength gas system. I put the standard AR15 midlength gas tube in it first. It was a little short, but not like some of the stuff we've seen lately. Before, it was pretty obvious that you have the wrong gas tube in a rifle, as the end of the tube would barely reach the cutout for the cam pin, in the upper receiver. On my barrel, the end of the gas tube went into the area for the cam pin cutout, but not to the middle if it, as we're used to seeing. End of the gas tube right in the middle of the cam pin cutout is standard stuff on AR15s, and used to be standard stuff on the Big ARs... It functioned fine. I just didn't like it. I ordered up another Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube, and installed it. Now, the end of the gas tube extends slightly beyond the center of the cam pin cutout in the upper. It doesn't bottom in the gas key on the BCG, and functions fine. Check your stuff, closely. If you haven't ordered the gas tube yet, I'd recommend the Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube for your barrel, if WC is making the 308 barrel gas ports like the .338 Fed barrels - and I'd bet they are. This is kind of a "middle ground" on gas port position on the barrel. Either tube will work, and the rifle will function. Nathan at Faxon Firearms touched on this in another thread. You will have a longer gas impluse imparted onto the BCG with the Armalite part, and you will have more functionality with a greater range of factory loads and ammo with it. Pics below - AR15 midlength gas tube first, the Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube second. Wilson Combat .338 Fed barrel, 16", stated as "midlength" gas system.

So... Where is he buried?...

I never noticed the "cabelas.com" in the bottom left until I posted that picture... I wonder is that's fucking it up... NOPE. That wasn't it...

Aero Precision, for now. Laying around, and needed to be used. I think I should get a set of 10A-series receivers to build this on, though. Eventually.

In the past 2 days, I hit the site, and it stalls on loading... When I refresh, it THEN loads the page. This happens when I first access the site, and then about 90% of the time when I click another button - i.e., go to a new topic, another thread, etc. Refresh finally loads it, but it stalls on the "initial click" I make to go wherever I'm going... Hitting it from a laptop or desktop - not a phone. This is what it looks like when it stalls on me - and it will stay like this until I refresh... Forever...

I think this profile right here is going to turn into the US Army SDM-R I've been wanting to build for so damn long...

^^^ he's gettin' his dick kicked in for that one... It's probably my fault - due to accessing the site from all the free airport WiFi over the last week...

I think the stock would be great for weight savings over the MagPul PRS, without a doubt - Randy Luth nailed it with that stock. Would be great for the competition crowd, too, for setting up a 3-gun rifle perfectly, and keeping weight down. I don't see a need - for me - to have adjustable comb or length on a light(er) weight rifle. Length? Sure, collapsible stock on a 6-position receiver extension. Solved. With the plethora of optics mounts out there, you can get your scope as low as you need on an AR platform without adjustable comb. I definitely see the benefit on a precision rifle, including a precision AR. My $0.02.

Making some progress...

Watch that barrel and the gas tube length. It's a weird gas port location, and I'll get some pics up tonight describing the details. Welcome. Need all the paratroopers around here we can get, to fend off the Legs...

I will certainly get you the details on this. We Arizonans throw down some spectacular annual shoots, which have recently turned into twice-a-year shoots because of Matt Cross... The Fall Shoot this year will be the best one yet. Early November.

Were you lookin' to trap your own self with "the rule," just as an excuse to get them?...

^^^ This guy and the damn AK ammo... Officially Welcome aboard, Nathan.

There won't be any way e can get it perfectly lined up AND torqued properly. Not since it's a finished barrel with index pin drilled and inserted, and gas port drilled. Only hope for that barrel will be to get it perfectly aligned, at whatever torque that happens to be, and Rocksett the shiit out of that extension.

YES!!! I can set him up with a killer recipe, right off the bat. 45-70 can be tricky, and he needs to watch his load data sources. There's 3 different configurations, with trap door loads, modern loads, and Ruger No. 1 loads. Ruger No. 1 load data will blow his gun up! He needs to stick to "modern" loads - which would blow up a trap-door gun. New Hornady brass, CCI 200 LRPs, 50.0gr of IMR 3031, and some 405gr silver-cast lead projectiles from these guys: http://oregontrailbullet.com/shop/ I always thought the 45-70 would be the perfect Alaska gun - it'll drop anything up there.

Yep, that's 175 feet! On your barrel, Roman, you need to get that thing lined back up, and it doesn't sound like it was torqued right to begin with (or you probably wouldn't have unscrewed it taking off a muzzle device). You need to get it all lined up - which will be barrel index pin perfectly lined up with barrel gas port. That's the only way it'll be straight when installed, and have the headspace still on like it was. Rocksett that bitch on there so you never have to worry about it again. Or, Yellow or Green Loc-Tite. Both those flavors are mean as hell.

SWEET!

I went this far, and it was good enough for me.

That's the way it should be, IMHO... Always should have been that way, too. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is a badass,as well.

Never underestimate the power of those little balls...
