There were no shots towards Trump. The only shots fired were by SS at the shooter when he was discovered. It was or would have been an attempted assassination had SS not seen the guy with the AK, GoPro camera, two backpacks, one with ceramic plates. He meant to shoot Trump.

Yep, suspect in custody, had a scoped AK, SS spotted him, and shot at him first, he fled to his car, and was stopped shortly. They are calling it an attempted assassination.

Look like Tryon plains rifles.

Have a model 95 Winchester in .35 Win from 1903. An LSA Enfield factory sporter in 303 from 1900 or before, not sure. Model 8 Remington semi auto in .25 Rem from early 1900's. Model 12 Winchester about 100 May be others hiding in the safe(s), but who knows?

Very sad, so young. RIP

After much delay due to the ejector issue, waiting periods and range closures, I finally got this out yesterday to actually shoot! It shot very well for the loads I had after sight in at 50, then 100 with an old Redfield 2-7X scope. It will shoot MOA. The other thing I noted was its recoil. I...

My point being that in no way is Keith comparable to Browning where firearms design is concerned. Not even in the same universe, despite one member who seems to worship the ground he tread.

I was quoting someone else who seemed to be overly enamored of Keiths inventions genius.

But it does reflect the real will of the people, those who want to vote. And for those who cant be bothered, they have to live with the results of the elections that those who did vote decided, for them.

Well said!

Is South African no longer an option? Belly up?

There was some talk recently about bringing griz back into WA state as well, but I know there was quite an uproar so I dont know what became of it.

This is the same work I did here for nearly 30 years only with much smaller crews. Tools and methods are pretty much the same though. I almost wax nostalgic watching it,,, almost...

We have had 80F for the last few days, this after a wet and cool August. Oh well, I was laid up with Covid for most of the month.:mad:

Dont do it!

Someones reloads...

Makes more sense than beaching him over that goofy photo of the scope! I knew there had to be more to the story.

Harris is an empty pantsuit, just like Hillary was and is even now channeling HRC with her new phony accents she employs depending on the crowd makeup. ABSOLUTE PHONY! How any thinking person could consider Harris as a viable candidate is beyond me.

An UPDATE on the firing of McCain commander Yaste. Turns out it wasnt just the goofy photo after all...

Harris is obviously going to do better than that and she has built in advantages and will probably do well or at least be perceived to be the winner of the debate when it happens. I hate these debates so wont be watching. I didnt watch the Biden debate either.

I know a bit about him and what some thought of him, but he did have quite a distinguished and highly decorated career, controversies aside.

Yes, I think so too. I hadnt thought about him for some time, was able to find the book quickly though and read the inscription. In reading some WIKI stuff about him, I remembered that they built a bridge in his name from Stanwood, WA over to Camano Island where my grandparents built a home...

You might find this interesting Joe. Gen Mark Clark was somewhat neighbors with my grandparents and he gave them an autographed copy of his book, which is in my possession.

Apparently the dad bought the AR for the boy, after the FBI interview and was in possession of it all this time. I read that GA law has no minimum age for possession of a rifle, but there may be other things going on here, but either way, dad is being charged.

Hunter has pleaded guilty and now awaits sentencing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/news/hunter-biden-makes-surprise-guilty-plea-in-tax-case/ar-AA1q4bsp?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=290fd078639241f69949e9d36a73d832&ei=20

They why do they put these stories out every time some officer gets sacked? While I agree they arent going to give out all the nitty gritty, and use the ubitquitous "loss of confidence to command", these types of stories are frequently in the news, at least weekly. So they must feel they are...

Who does the military work for? The federal govt has command and oversight over the military and its operations and the federal govt works for us. So in that sense it is our business.

There are numerous questions about this story that will probably never be made public.

Joe, dont you think its possible that something else in the commanders background, other annoyances, or infractions is what led to his canning? He is a decorated seaman and I personally find it hard to believe that the scope thing alone is responsible for him being beached. I would have thought...

My dads version of that was, "whats yours is mine and whats mines my own".

Any idea of the barrel make and twist?

I see you live on the island, we were recently up there in Nanaimo visiting my daughter and family. Pretty sure my wife and I got Covid while on the Tsawwassen ferry. Sick for most of August.

A wonderful bull!

I was actually thinking of the x64 myself recently, but brass availability being about nil has dissuaded me from getting serious about it. Not to mention zero need of it.

Stuff like this is why I left Seattle in 1989, it was already going south then! I was born in Seattle in 1953 and raised there. My buddy and I spent weekends just wandering around on foot, downtown, Pike Place, First Hill, shooting pool, bowling, getting into minor troubles as young boys and...

You cant make this crap up! https://www.breitbart.com/border/2024/09/03/biden-harris-admin-negotiates-bus-passage-through-mexico-for-migrants-using-cbp-one-asylum-app/ I guess its not enuf to fly them in , now we will bus them in as well.

The shooter is lefty, the rifle aint, LOL. :whistle:

Not for certain, you cant see whether it has a Mauser extractor, but as it appears to be SS it could be either. It has a custom front sight so possible re barrel.

I hear this a lot about Russia and Ukraine and how it will be all Trumps fault if Russia prevails in the end because of some badly chosen words some time back. Frankly I think Trump could bring this to a close if given the chance but I am not sure he will be given the chance even if elected. I...

There is no such thing as a perfect president or any politician. One need sort thru the chaff to find whats important. In my view and many others, Harris has about zero experience for the job and no redeeming values to offer to the job, none, zip, zero, nada, nothing. Trump has done the job...

Saul, you have gone all around this now from fitness to age, admitting you voted for Biden despite his age which IIRC was the same as Trump is now, but only in retrospect did age become an issue. Is Trump as sharp as he was 5 years ago? Probably not, are you? I am now 71 and I know age does...

Age is always a concern, but being old isnt always a hindrance to good performance. After all we are not hiring a marathon runner, but a manager and Trump is a better manager than Harris could ever dream of being. BTW. Was age an issue for you when you voted for Biden?

Well there is a name for that! TDS, its rampant in America.

Oh OK, now I get it. She is fit because she is not old. Got it, check. Roger dodger. Brilliant.

OK, but what is it that makes her fit for the job? Her brilliance, her command of English, her foreign policy expertise, her economic agenda, her flip flopping? I confess I dont get it, illuminate us. Just not liking Trump is not a reason to vote for Harris, perhaps the stupidest person to run...

Not with the wife's wash I hope!

But somehow, Harris is fit to be president?? You are living in a dream world.

I like the snakes for some applications, lever guns, guns that dont foul badly, range cleaning for semi's. Otherwise I clean from the breech end, ( not breach ), and pull it all out. I like that they have a brush on them and then the long section of cloth to grab the stuff the brush loosened...

One would think that its not that difficult of a question, but for some it seems to be a real problem making a decision as if there were really any options. One need only ask, was I and the country on the whole in better shape under 4 years of Trump or 3.6 years of Biden Harris? It really isnt...
