These hedge fund managers and clients directly bet AGAINST the American people. Our failure is their success - watch how quickly the Wuflu fades into the ether once these parasites have nothing to gain from shutting down the economy for the average American. We have been their commodity for years and people are finally waking up. Nothing communist about this, bro.
I’m not sure he can. Tri-Citians still look at Newhouse as some sort of savior of the Snake River Dams and their cushy engineering jobs at the Hanford site. Throw in the National lab, fuel processing plant, and Columbia generating station and there’s a huge number of people who need the status quo for a paycheck.
This is quite the can of worms, compounded by the current state of the market. What is your primary use for your AR? What caliber are you hoping to buy?
In 5.56, shoot for a 1:7 or 1:8 twist barrel - 18” is sort of the “sweet spot” in terms of ballistic performance for most NATO loads. Wylde chambers are nice but not really necessary.
Good medium to long range 5.56 alternatives include 6.5 Grendel and 224 Valkyrie, but you’re pretty much shit out of luck getting ammo for them at the moment
Short range thumpers are out there, too, but again, good luck finding ammo.
Make sure your bolt is headspaced to your barrel. Even though companies have nearly perfected tight tolerance machining of the AR, there can still be issues that could affect reliability and safety. Yes, a good company should confirm headspace, but it never hurts to double check. If you buy a custom BCG or bolt head for your rifle, headspace checks are a MUST.
Lighter is usually better. Check out the What Would Stoner Do series at Forgotten Weapons for insights as to why.
Avoid lesser known shops promising fast turnarounds in this climate and be prepared to be on a waiting list at the higher end outfits.
Ha! If anything, he’s probably the polar opposite. The kinds of people who keep their faith after attending a Jesuit school tend to be grateful for the education but utterly despise most of their faculty. I should know, I went to one and survived with my faith intact.
Eh, coal still sucks. No reason to continue using it when natural gas and uranium are still plentiful. My local nuclear plant is completely unaffected by the ice apocalypse here.
