    Imagine if a company with quality jUsT aS GuD as PSA started making ammo.

    Oh, wait.

    Shit, that happened.

    Pretty rough when some old Steel Cased Wolf would be WAY BETTER than an OTM American load.

An example would be along the lines of, hey, how do I get this authorized for my department? To have a company say they are unable to make a department do anything, but if you talk to Stick he might have ideas... that sort of thing I'm fine with. In fact, I like those "referrals"
    because it lets me freely help people and departments.
    This is truly disappointing... I despaired when I heard that JJE had bought out NoDakSpud, then was quietly hopeful when they hired Mike from NDS to run H&R and supposedly were going to let him run his shop his way and enforce QC standards...

    Better not let Washington's AG "Rumored Child Molester" Bob Ferguson hear about this, because I hear several phrases their statement indicates that he could use our new nuisance SB 5078 "consumer protection lawsuits" law to end them:
    *Reckless Disregard
    *Depraved Indifference
    *Gross and Contributory Negligence

    5078 is really bad, it's a blatant piss in the face of PLCAA and why some shops refuse to sell in WA at all--all it takes is ONE sale to a WA resient and they have a legal nexus to sue you out of business at will, and while everybody's freaking out about our new AWB nobody's seeing the REAL danger in the room.

    Over the last two weeks we've been running some of this reworked stuff in the Rem 700. I'm convinced that the thin rims on the AAC brass is a problem. Another shooter was running the Rem 700 and had multiple ejection failures. I had a few myself too, but didn't pay too much attention to it. I think there's too much room under the extractor hook which gives slop during ejection.
