If anyone is interested, check out 18 USC 2230 - which makes it a federal felony to sell counterfeit goods with a penalty of 10 years and $2M fine - first offense. Trademark violations are considered pretty serious. There is even a tip line at Homeland Security…
The United States Intelligence Community (USIC) has claimed that ISIS-K is behind the terrorist attack in Moscow. Florida Senator Marco Rubio affirmed his agreement with that assessment during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl.
Other than the larger issue of Islamic jihadists carrying hatred for the renewed Christian values, as expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin – which, conveniently can be considered a cover for those who may have organized an attack under the auspices of Islamic jihad – there are no datapoints in the known fact-pattern that align with ISIS-K as the originator. Additionally, the four suspects were captured by mostly Muslim Chechan security forces in the Bryansk Region of Russia.
That said, the largest datapoint, pointing away from the ISIS-K origin, is the USIC so quickly identifying ISIS-K as the perpetrators.
Remember, this is the same USIC who claimed in the December 2016 Joint Analysis Report on the election that Russia had interfered. The same USIC who claimed in their January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, with a “high degree of confidence,” that Russia influenced the 2016 election (by spending $1,300 on FaceBook ads). And the same USIC that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation (it wasn’t). So, take SSCI Marco Rubio’s confidence in the USIC with that backdrop.
About twenty years ago, I chambered two 6mm AI's, both single shots. At the same time, I built myself a 6mm Remington, based on a pre-64 action. All were eight inch twist barrels. They were thinking they would be able to push 198's to over 3200 fps. They did manage to achieve 3200, but that was it. My 6mm topped out at 3150 fps. I should mention, barrel life sucked! Interestingly enough, at the same time, I built a 6BR for myself, on another Winchester action. With the little 6BR, I was able to achieve 2990 fps (26 inch barrel) with the same bullet. It shot better too. If I was to build another 6mm today, I would likely go with a 6mm Creedmoor. I could match the 6BR at lower pressure, and should get better barrel life than the Remington. GD
K22 the Burris 6X mini is a gem - especially for squirrel hunting and is my second favorite - right behind the leupold 6X compact AO with a Leupold dot. This is for hunting and general usage - I like the light weight the most and plenty of power. The Weaver V-16 and Leupold 6.5-20X EFR are my favorites for target and silhouette. There are many others mentioned that work great also!
Just my two cents😊

I heard those Leupold 6X compact AO's were outstanding. Never had the pleasure of using one, only the FX II 6X.
The Compact 6X AO was a near perfect match for early Kimber 82’s. I had one on my lefty Clackamas Custom Classic. The other compacts were a little too small. A really nice match for a squirrel rifle.
I was there, working for Alyeska pipeline at the marine terminal that day. Flew over the grounded tanker that morning. I can tell all kinds of stories about the event , and the months following during cleanup snd its affect on the communities and environment. The short of it , and not trying to make excuses cause there isn’t any, but Joe Hazelwood was drunk when he came back aboard Exxon Valdez . The pilot took the ship out beyond the narrows and then disembarked, shortly afterward Hazelwood turned the helm over to the third mate, a guy by the name of cousins with instructions to make course change at such a such time and bearing. Hazelwood had previously made a course correction from normal do to ice(calving from Columbia glacier) Cousins failed to make the course correction in time and only did so when a mate on the bow alerted him via radio they were getting dangerous close to Bligh reef, well it was too late and they ran aground Total human error, the night was beautiful , clear as a bell and no wind to speak off, prince Williams sound was smooth as glass, Alyeka’s oil spill response was slow due to a number of factors, some of which were bickering among agencies as to who was incident commander, shortage of oil recovery vessels on hand. Oil spill equipment buried under record snowfall, and shortage of personnel. For two days the sea was calm, there was some debate about lighting the oil on fire to burn it offf? and about the time they begin to get equipment on sight and the oil left on board of the Valdez lightered off to the the Exxon SanFransisco the wind came up and begin to spread oil through the entire sound, off shore from the communities of Valdez and Cordova.. Turning the catastrophe into a two year long cleanup. Which is a huge story in itself that I have not enough time to relate, let’s just say 4 billion dollars of Exxon’s money has not to this day completely mitigated the effects.
Interesting. We have been there numerous times since 95 and have not really seen anything left over. Fish are fine. Wildlife fine. Nature recovers. It has to. Its stronger than we think.

Not true 8 of 11 tanks were ruptured , total estimated loss was 10. 8 million gallons of a total cargo of 53.1 million gallons or 1.2 million barrels . The crews working on littering off that much oil , in those conditions, wearing full scba gear, in an atmosphere that one little spark would have sent up a huge fireball was heroic
The lunacy railroad will have more riders than the California railroad...if either one is ever built. The California train is an express train, taxpayers money straight into the pockets of the Pelosi crime family.

I can't help as far as the slight frame differences between the Gen 3-4 and the Gen 5 when it comes to the Glocks but I do know that they are extremely accurate. I have been shooting a Gen 5 G21 for a bit now and it is a tack driver. Carrying it in a Summer Special cut for an optic. Super comfortable.
I would order the holster you want from Sparks and then just keep using they plastic holster you have until the nice one gets here. Seems reasonable. Gives you something to look forward to.
I use various bullets that would include Barnes and Hammer monos, never had any problems going from C&C bullets to the monos and back again. I clean the bore periodically but never do it because I'm switching bullets.
I like them both but if I had to only chose one I would chose Star Trek... to me the movies are so much better (the most recent ones)... and so much more realistic.
She's never won with a majority of the votes and was behind getting rank-choice voting. In 2010, she was soundly beaten in the R primary but then ran a massive campaign as an independent.
She needs to go.
ranked choice gave us her and that peltolla. Both need gone really bad asap.
