  1. You've lived in Kalifornia long enough to legally own a pre Roberti-Roos AR like the MSR in the case.
  2. The ATF have been showing up to people's residences who have bought, solvent traps & bushing adapters with female barrel thread to male oil filter thread. They will also show up if you buy DIY suppressor kits if you don't haven't received an approved form 1.
  3. I believe that it is only illegal if you own the conversion part(s) and the gun that if the part(s) are installed in fires more than one round with a single operation of the trigger without reloading. P.S. The "smart" gunsmiths to gang-bangers buy $175 3D printers & download CAD files using a proxy server in a sketchy eastern European nation.
  4. My brother in-law told me bug juice was made with water, any fruit available and sugar. I don't know if baker's yeast is added. The concoction was placed above the ovens in the galley & left until the bubbling stopped. On the Ranger he packed parachutes & filled aircraft oxygen tanks as well as occasionally hitching a ride on an A3. He became the chief of his section when the previous chief was given a section 8 for using a tug to destroy a geisha house. With my brother in-law you have to take his stories with a grain of salt. He is prone to embellish his stories.
  5. Denatured alcohol is ethyl mixed with methyl to make it more toxic. Filtering it through a loaf of bread to remove the methyl alcohol is a wife's tail. Distilation will separate them. However impurities will be left in the liquid.
  6. SCOTUS in 2022 & 2023 took a big bite out of Chevron in 2 decisions, WV v. EPA & Sackett v. EPA. WV challenged the Biden EPA reinstating a rule that existing sources had to use EPA specified technologies to reduce air pollution. WV challenged the EPA regulation as exceeding authority given the EPA by the Clean Air Act. Sackett involved the Clean Water Act Waters of the US interpretation that followed justice Kennedy's concurring opinion in Rapanos v. US. Until in 2023 Sackett v. EPA opinion federal courts follow Kennedy's concurring opinion rather than the plurality's (signed by 4 justices) which was more limiting than a nexus. In both the 2022 WV case and 2023 Sackett case chief justice Roberts wrote the majority opinions which spanked the EPA. Roberts cited the previously ignored "Major Questions doctrine. If the executive branch interpretation of law increases the scope of law it is unconstitutional because this power is reserved for Congress. Sackett limits a water of the US to those that continuously flow on the surface into a body of water that eventually flow into a body of water that crosses a US boarder. This means that a lot of wetlands & vernal streams that the EPA has been regulated have become a state only regulated per the 10th Amendment. During the 202-2024 SCOTUS session they will hear Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. This is the case that constitutional scholars have been saying will be the knockout blow to Chevron. P.S. The Chevron opinion was so wrong because other than violating the Major Questions doctrine it violated the Rule of Lenity which has its' origin in centuries old English Common Law affirmd by 9th century US jurisprudence.
  7. They named 1854 because that is the year their Volcanic came out.
  8. G-Force Arms announced at Shot Show, a Turkish Winchester 92 in 357/38. Finish offerings, blue, stainless & CCH receiver. 20" barrel length, magazines holds 10, lever is wrapped. Front sight isn't SASS legal. Receiver is aluminum except for CCH model.
  9. The Numrich exploded view diagram of the 999 shows the firing pin as a separate part. Besides replacing the firing pin it wouldn't hurt to replace the firing pin & center pin catch spring & to be safe the firing pin retainer pin.
  10. Use a browser that has a setting that blocks most pop-ups. Also I haven't "googled" in 10 years. I use Firefox & Edge for browser & DuckDuckGo for search engine. I quite using Chrome when it started using a third of the screen for adds.
  11. Steam Roller is the name used by the public. The paving products mfg's & contractors haven't used that name for them since reciprocating internal combustion engines replaced the steam engines. They are "Tandem Vibratory Rollers". Check this link out https://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/compactors/tandem-vibratory-rollers.html
  12. When we moved to Dead Broke Ranch in Jan 2013 (retired so skedaddled out of Kommiefornia) we kept our iPhones & 925 pre fix phone numbers as well as Verizon because they have the best signal coverage in Fallon. At the time the neighbor who was retired & looked out for security of neighbor's property was old school & didn't pay for long distance service asked that week get a landline. When he moved away to vagabond visiting old friends he made when cowboying all over the west we dropped the land line. We kept the DSL internet service. The copper cable between the fiber to copper box two miles away was degrading the local phone co. installed fiber in our street to the fiber in the main cross street & they sent postcards to all the residents on the streets where fiber was installed announcing that if you signup for fiber service running fiber to you house would be free even if you didn't have copper run in flexible plastic conduit. The run to the box on the house is 1,200 ft. from the connection box on the street. Needless to say I signed up online for TV/internet bundled service that. Besides being cheaper than Direct TV plus DSL. internet speeds are faster than the LAN speeds at the co. when I retired on 12/31/2012. Also, no more pix-elating watching TV during weather or I can also watch streaming services.
  13. I will be watching with the misses. I used to watch the Raiders & 49ers including preseason. I favored the Raisers until Al Davis made them the LA traitors. However, at one point in the late 90's I'd stress about the 49er's when watching their games. So, I stopped watching the Raiders & 49er's games except for post season. The misses still watches most games. P.S. My daughter has been a 49er's fanatic since Steve Young was the starting quarterback. Her husband has been a big Raiders fan until the Raiders moved to Lost Wages. Now that the both Oakland sports teams will both be in Vegas when the baseball venue is completed he lost any interest in the A's & Raiders. He has forever boycotted the baseball & football teams across the bay.
  14. Stag Arms announced a 45-70 lever gun with iron sights, pick rail & threaded barrel with MSRP $1,299 available in 12/2024. Rossi has the R95 model 45-70 in 16.5", 20" & 22" Black oxide finish with MSRP of $1,061.
  15. The CA DOJ notified all the registered FFL's & CA Ammo sale licensees that the they are not to follow the state regulations re ammo sales. The CADOJ has appealed to the 9th Circus for an stay of St. Benitez's permanent injunction. Based on the court's history of a majority being knuckle dragging hoplophopes they likely will further delay granting full 2A rights to citizens & legal resident aliens residents by granting a stay like they did to end freedom week. St. Benitez's opinion decimated the CADOJ's briefs saying the pre 1868 analogs were either not analogs or analogs are not acceptable because they violate the 14th amendment by being discriminatory based on race, religion or slavery. P.S. CA & other states have used these 14A violating analogs exercises in other cases.
  16. At least in IL you can own an SBR if you have an FFL 3 (C&R FFL). In CA you can't own any NFA item. Being that I have family & property in CA & one is a cabin in the boonies north east of Lakeport I usually bring CA legal firearms to shoot with family. I can't bring into CA my AR's, HK91 clone, suppressors, nor ATN thermal sight.
  17. The owner of the Winchester brand is Olin Corp which only makes chemicals. The Winchester brand name for firearms is licensed to subsidiaries to FN Herstal. The FN subsidiary Browning USA. Browning USA contracts with Miroku to manufacture Winchester brand 1873 & 1894 rifles.
  18. Plus 1 for bgavin Buying a factory handgun is typically cheaper than a major customization & you get a factory warranty. In brown bear country is appears the G20 is very popular for bear protection. They hold 15 in the magazine & when an angry griz comes charging out of the brush you can put more rounds in the bear. For me the only problem with G-locks is the grip angle. The are clone mfg's that make 1911 grip angle frames.
  19. From the YouTube penetration tests I've viewed the cartridge the penetrated least were 12ga bird shot & 55 grain 223. 223 does go through one interior wall but only dents the next sheet it hits. That suggests using 5.7X28 for a handgun if one is worried about over penetration in home defense situation. Also, unless you use a reload formula that has been ballistically tested how can you be sure of the real world situation performance. The cost of factory self defense loads is well worth the peace of mind. Even though my nearest neighbor is 450 ft, away my the G19 I keep at the front door in a shelf gun hide & the 4 extra loaded magazines a filled with Winchester 147 grain Silvertip. The misses & I practice with 147 grain FMJ.
  20. It is an enumerated power of the federal government to control immigration as well as protect states from invasion. However, Should the federal government not perform its' enumerated duty to defend a state from invasion the state can defend its' self. The question is does the situation on the TX boarder legally an invasion? Another question is can the federal government enter state property wo/permission from TX or court order.
  21. I've bought magazines from them several times as recently as Nov 30th. It is my go to magazine source. Paid using Visa credit card.
  22. Similar to cloudiest places in US is foggiest place in US. Eureka CA was used by the US Army Air Corps in WWII for training cockpit crew in zero-zero visibility flying skills. I was told this by a coworker who worked out of Eureka. He had asked me to look at a diesel electric log stacker at a lumber mill north of Eureka. After twice having flights canceled after I drove to SFO the 3rd trip to airport was successful.
  23. In some MOS's, ones that require a longer commitment because training takes a long time E-6 before separation is not uncommon. My youngest grandson reached the rank of PO1 as a member of the CVN-78's reactor crew. He separated before the Ford was deployed to the Mediterranean. Unless the DOD requires personnel performing aircraft inspections and maintenance to pass through metal detectors these types of accidents will happen in the future because of human factors. Additionally besides shadows of tools in toolboxes even tool in the box should have RFI tags so tools in boxes scanned before storage in tool room. With the RFID inventory checks are automated which eliminates the human errors except for cheating.
  24. From what I read about the 30 SC when it was released by Federal it answers the need for magazines that carry more rounds than you can in a compact 9. Forget the 5.7X28. The pistols are full size. The round was developed by FN for defeating Russian body armor with a P90 sub gun. From what I have read reloading results are less that good.
  25. I wonder how well herding dogs do with geese?
