  Why I learned to like the AR-15.
Posted by: tommag - 02-22-2024, 03:53 AM - Forum: AR15 General Discussions - Replies (7)

Tactical shooting has never interested me, I've always been into accuracy. I have an old Remington 788 with a hart bbl,1:14 twist in 223 improved that was nicely bedded (not by me) and it sports a timney trigger. On my best days it would shoot in the .15 range using 52gr Bergers or 53gr Sierra's with a case full of imr 4895. I never liked plastic, but one day I shouldered an AR-15 and it spoke to me. The danged thing just felt right! So, a dpms lite 16 followed me home.
I didn't expect much but I carefully prepped 20 brass (my usual, deburr the flash hole/turn the necks/uniform the pockets, etc.) I selected a mid level load of 4895 under some berger 52gr hps. I know it had a fast enough twist to stabilize heavier bullets, but I went with my tried and true favorite bullet.
Now with a non-floated pencil thin bbl, I sat down at the bench.
Holy Moly! With my first load I was shooting .4 groups! Thus began my love affair with the platform. I had no idea a semi auto rifle could be so accurate. That carbine is long gone, but I set out to see what I could do with ar15s. I learned about thermo-fitting, free floating handguards, etc. and was on my way.
I found the journey quite satisfying. It culminated in a bartlein heavy barrel chambered in 6.5 Grendel thermofitted to a bcm upper and a timney trigger group. That stupid thing almost had no preferences for bullets as long as they were in range of 95 to 120 grains. It shot one ragged hole groups with the Hornady 100gr bullets, which have been replaced by a polymer tipped bullet. Besides the little accurizing steps in putting it together, I'm convinced the case design itself has something to do with it. I know the 220 Russian variants in .22 and 6mm has taken a lot of championships in the bench rest world.
Anyway, I've only competed against myself, but I found it satisfying. It's not applicable to the tactical world but that wasn't my goal. In my mind Townsend Whelen said it best. "Only accurate rifles are interesting."

Saw an interview with her…..wow what a lying POS, the shit she is spewing while pretending she will be the republican nominee and the next president will be a female, her or heels up harris as Trump will not be the president as he’s to old and to focused on his court cases 

She is an unhinged democrat pretending to be a republican, the hot garbage that she was spewing reeks of democrat rhetoric 

What a pathetic excuse for a human

  ribs and kraut
Posted by: tommag - 02-20-2024, 09:14 PM - Forum: Food and Beverage - Replies (5)

Growing up my only experience with sauerkraut was unbrowned hot dogs added to sauerkraut. I never liked it much. One day I stopped at a small casino in central Nevada and ribs and kraut was on the menu. That completely changed my opinion of sauerkraut.
I instantly figured out what they did, browning the meat and then adding the kraut to cook together for a while. While I prefer beef. I seldom see it locally so I use pork.
Here's what I do.
Brown the meat thoroughly and pour off most of the oils. (Don't use cast iron, the acid will completely strip your seasoning.) I usually season it with garlic powder. Add sauerkraut to it and let it stew until the meat is falling apart tender. Since kraut is very salty, I add no salt at all. For ratios, I usually go not quite as much kraut as there is meat (not including the bones if im using bone-in ribs).The flavors of both meld together.
Serve with boiled potatos and mash a fair amount of kraut into the potatos at the table.
Well. I gotta go, my taters are done!

  Seeing two trends
Posted by: Towtruck - 02-16-2024, 10:59 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (5)

With the armory debacle, this site getting hit with spam accounts, and a very large forum I have belong to I see a disturbing trend. Either spam accounts or back door meddling is the offense of choice. The large forum im on has been infiltrated in the background with a style similar to the spamming we saw on the armory. 

It looks like low tech and higher tech efforts are being made to mess with gun boards. They either attack in the open pages or get in the back room and mess with operations. 

I’m no computer guy so motive could be to use the site for nefarious activity or just to get the gun sites to break.  It is getting very old dealing with it to the point I have all but given up trying to add content.
