I realized going through security I still had my Microtech on me. I handed it to a TSA lady and apologized, she said they'd hold it so a friend could come pick it up. Get through security and she meets me and hands me my knife.

I love telling the story of our first audit. Agents walk in and hand me a list of 30ish silencers. 'We need to check these serials' Oh so you guys just do a random sample to save time? 'No this is supposed to be everything.' We had nearly 800 silencers in store 😂
2 years into being a baby FFL/SOT got my first inspection audit by the ATF, which happens at most once a year.
Was def sweating bullets going through 100% of inventory.
Weaknesses in internal processes were immediately apparent and will be fixed that ASAP.
LARPers. There is no amount of training that will imbue someone with the moral duty to act. We have the law enforcement we deserve. Our culture of safety has been sowing these seeds for decades. Make men dangerous again.
You know that scene from the Patriot where the British burn down a church with a bunch of people inside? Made up, never happened. Even the British in the middle of a war didn't go that far. The ATF on the other hand...
Can we stop calling it a "Donut of Death"? If you said it to me in person and it was the first time I'd heard it, I'd chuckle politely, but it's not witty enough to say more than once. Nobody says an ACOG has a Horseshoe of Hurt, until just now, and I already like that more.
In the midst of the black friday craziness, a husband came in to pre-select guns for his wife who was waiting in the car with their kiddos. A 380EZ and a 365 (he was very dissapointed we didn't have a 38 revolver). She walked out with a G19 because we care.
Interesting upper in for repair today. Made by Houston Armory back in 2012. First integrally suppressed rifle I've seen where the quad rail is literally the silencer. The whole handguard is the muzzle device.

Vaping worked for me instantly. Perfect replacement for my brain. My three pack a day granddad put his out while he was watching the surgeon general's address about smoking and never picked up another one, so I guess not being a bitch is an option.
@SageDynamics
FPCs emails have been just as frequent as the NRA's, but for some reason they don't bug me as much when the money is going towards court cases instead of jet fuel.
@BoHefner
*ahem* link in bio. But I don't think I have the Microtechs organized on the site yet. They're also available at both our locations if you're in the Midland or DFW area.
Something about the NFA everyone should know, but sharing in light of
@Wendigoon8
's epic Ruby Ridge video. The two things that the NFA *originally* banned (effectively), were machine guns and HANDGUNS. Nobody cared about short barreled rifles until someone said "If we ban
@TheAKGuy
Man, that district is huge. If you plan on getting up to Crane or anywhere near Midland let us know how we can help. Event space, range space, machine guns, whatever.
@NaviGoBoom
Brian Litz has done a lot of research on it. He has found almost no whip before the round exits the barrel. The gun does start to recoil as soon as the bullet begins to move though. He asserts that total gun weight is responsible for the accuracy gains and harmonics are BS.
Now the import part of the indictment is not my wheel house, suffice it to say, whatever laws he allegedly broke are unconstitutional.

The Manhunt series on the Olympic bombing is on Netflix for a few more days. Great story about the FBI and corporate press conspiring to destroy an innocent man. You should know the story of Richard Jewell.
I thought this had to be fake. Who buys these? I really thought someone photoshopped a JJFU logo on some Bear Creek copy. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. And a fucking Burris? I'd say he was insulting his customers intelligence but clearly not.

And the skinnies were working with the bugs. It was how the bugs destroyed BA. The skinny op was designed as a show of force to get them to switch sides.
@QuiteProblmatic
Big oof. Out of the box or after firing? I've seen a factory glock slide do that, but only because a guy was REALLY bad at installing sights.
You guys really like babies, and I think that's great. I hope you make as many as you can manage. Kids stand a better chance of saving your country than an AR ever will.
I think 28 trillion dollars in debt is extreme. I think forcing people to give up their livelihoods for months is extreme. I think arresting people for going to church is extreme. I think judging people by their skin color is extreme.

Which is extra dumb because I've had an easier time ruining a barrel I didn't check for a P&W than getting off one with rocksett.

I noticed that too. 5.56 bouncing right off but when ole two world wars came out it was game on. Just didn't know how to squeeze that into the script. I probably should've ended it with "Do you want any extra mags with that?" "Lol. No."
In contrast, got into an argument with a guy trying to find his friend a single point sling. I explained why those are awful and he should get a two point. His argument consisted of "I was in the military". Checkmate, I guess. Sorry bout your friend's nuts.
I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x
But if you feel a moral responsibility to provide for yourself, your family, your community, up to and including their defense from violence, that sounds pretty fucking anti-extreme.
So yea, Facebook, I know some extremists.
@WeaponOutfitter
Bruce Gray basically made the opposite part the Sig Armorer did, allowing the gun to fire at literally any point. He's on the third iteration of making as unsafe a 320 as possible and has yet to have an OOB.
I tried to make a Twitter account for a friend today and I literally couldn't. The CAPTCHA is a 15 part quiz that I attempted twice and failed. So why do I have to block 5 porn bots a day? Am I dumber than a porn bot?
