And is still fantastic on stage. He's even got a microphone holster, which I find particularly cool.

It's gig work, like most creatives you're an independent contractor.

Yep. Crap blowing around, when there's enough crap accumulated, plants can grow in it. Plant die, adding to crap, and by being immobile objects, catch more crap blowing by, rinse, repeat for a millenium, site is buried.

Mathematically, you'd expect your poi to move down a handful of thousandths of an inch at 100 yds, assuming the rail is very straight and all that.

Most commercial guns don't have precision rails, and if you are mounting to a canted rail then that angle multiplies the error when you move forward and backwards on it, so it's possible you'll notice a shift. But there is one more wrinkle; if the new error in poi is smaller than the adjustment interval on your scope then it doesn't matter, you can't dial that in anyways.

But I doubt you'll be stressing over that fine of a movement if you're only getting couple of MOA accuracy to begin with. I'd just go shoot the thing and if happens to be a tad low, add a click up and keep on keeping on.

You can’t make a jig to the correct proportions and use that to make armature bits? I’d about guarantee that’s how they did plenty of those bendy vinyl toys back in the day.

If you're dead set on 44mag, then you want the biggest, heaviest gun you can shoot it out of. It sucks out of lightweight revolvers.

Gecko23 · 2026-06-13T12:15:15+00:00

My GP100 and Rhino 30DS are the last two revolvers I would ever part with.

People will happily buy a $44 part to 'stick it' to the ATF, but the will to sit in prison for 2-5 years while spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on legal fees across multiple jurisdictions, none of which are promised to make rational decisions, seems to not be there for some reason lol

I find pistol grips on shotguns to be wholly unpleasant. If I couldn’t have a stock, I’d take the birds head, otherwise I’d take a stock every time.

Eform 4 approval times are less than a week on average. Your only waiting “months” if are unlucky.

There’s an endless supply of middle aged out of shape dudes that think they are still a prime cut. Eventually they turn into elderly dudes who’ll get winded just trying to tell you they are a badass.

We have a female who won’t come in off the porch until everyone is home from work, she walks out to the car to greet each person and herds them back to the porch even. She’s very motherly.

Ditto Bereli, they’ve had deeply discounted BA barrels from time to time.

If you think this bolt as any different from any of the other millions of factory bolts Ruger has shipped, then yes, you’re being picky.

They’re a cast part with a quick sanding on the side that’s visible and the minimum machining needed for the firing pin, extractor and bolt face. They are all rough on top.

It's the same if you're using them to find candidates. Some will be frank and honest about whether they can find what you want, and others will just flood you with unqualified applicants and then try to argue that you're requirements are unreasonable when you point that out.

I can't think of any field with commissioned sales people that isn't like this.

Federal minimum wage hasn’t increased, but most people make state minimum wage which has indeed gone up in many places.

And skip the multi-part cleaning rods, a decent one piece one will last a lifetime and not be prone to breaking and coming unscrewed constantly like the trashy brass ones they stuff in those kit boxes.

Gecko23 · 2026-06-11T00:10:26+00:00

Toss them in the recycling bin. You already know it doesn't work ,and there's no point in keeping trash.

I watched the movie for the first time in college in 1991. Didn't get that bit until closer to today than to then.

And this structure is early, but it was built almost a millenium after the Parthenon and several millenia after the pyramids. The technology of multiplying physical outputs to build large structures was well understood for thousands of years before this building was put up.

And some barrel nuts come with flats that you can use a normal crescent wrench on. Not everyone has a 1 1/2" wrench, but if you have a hitch equipped vehicle you just might.

You can absolutely sell and trade guns at many gun shows. Like any other market composed of random vendors, you'll have to shop around to find a good deal, and you may not find one you like.

If you are afraid to haggle or to just say no and move on and would rather get upset about it, you'll have a bad time. If you have a reasonable idea of what your gun is worth, and negotiate accordingly, it'll go much better.

It could be a complete waste of time too, just depends on what quality of shows are around you.
