Macpherson in Brentwood?

Just think of how many of today’s dollars worth of ammo never even hit the car [laugh] @paulatkin73 the owner wanted the car gone, NES needed a target, everyone involved walked away happy. Doesn’t seem like a waste to me[banana]

That was US that did that, FYI. Car was dead, owner is/was a member here, hilarity ensued.

I mean, that is literally how this whole thing works. Or do you think that somehow, search warrants only get executed on people that have already been found guilty?

The big thermos’ are a bit on the big/heavy side, but one thing is for sure: with a good preheat, then filled with freshly boiled water, you’ll have hot water for a day plus, and liquid water for basically forever. Another thing I’ll mention: tea is easily the most palatable and...

Regarding fluids: I like to use insulated bottles (big fan of Hydroflask, personally). Pre-heat with boiling water, then fill with hot water. Depending on how far I’m driving and how far I’m walking once I get there, I might do this at home, or I have a electric kettle that plugs into the...

Did you actually buy the night sights model? There are two listings, both of which mention tritium sights, but one of the two rather explicitly says “THIS IS THE ONE WITH THE NIGHT SIGHTS” Also, considering that only the frame is required to be serialized, is it possible that NONE of the guns...

It looks like it was spray-painted at some point.

I like that lamp.

While you’re digging yourself deep here, want to come fix my well? You’ve gotta be below the water table by now.

Don’t get me wrong: I vehemently disagree with the entirety of GCA68, but that doesn’t change the reality of what the law says, or how the executive and judicial branches interpret it.

I don’t think the ATF has ever had the moral high ground in any regard, but yes....cases like Abramski would be easier to swallow were it not for Fast & Furious.

That doesn’t square with the actual text of the law, though. Abramski v US further supports my point that purchasing a firearm on behalf of another person, for any reason, constitutes a “straw purchase”.

I mean, sure...it’s “unlawful”...but conceptually? There’s no difference.

I send my girlfriend to the grocery store all the time, why not the gun shop too?

That’s not how that works. A “straw purchase” is simply a purchase made on behalf on someone else, whether or not they’re legally capable of making the purchase, or owning the firearm, themselves.

Ultrasound inspection of the inconel component. Lucite wear plate was on the probe.

This wasn’t at any sort of crazy pressure or temperature, and it was with a layer of clean lubricant in between them, too.

You would think that a softer material wouldn’t scratch up a harder material, but it can/will. I’ve seen (caused) inconel to get all scratched up by lucite. (For some context, the inconel was there to provide wear resistance, and the lucite was there as a sacrificial wear surface)

I know you probably were saying this in jest, but my work has decided that they would rather people wear masks than safety glasses, if it comes down to it.
