I may forward your commentary to some friends just to give them some chuckles. My closest neighbor's son is a LEO and instructor and my son's gun and jeep friend a former SEAL. I didn't grow up in a bubble and don't live in a fantasy world either. Trying to run newbies through a make or break with verbal abuse is juvenile. You should try to help newbies or find another form of entertainment. Helping people on a forum is not the same as the military weeding out grunts that can't take the heat. Even the military drops that approach before sniper and other advanced training, and I know that from experience. Weeding someone out of a survivalist forum might cost someone their life if they can't find valuable info elsewhere in time to use it. It might make you feel tough but it won't save your life either. The real world is a bit tougher than arguing with Zeke and trying to **** off newbies. |

One of the first lessons you learn is that the world is not your friend, ignorance is not rewarded, and in every room there is at least one ****head. If you want to learn you take your lumps, ignore the ****heads and seek out teachers who are going to kick your butt, leave you bleeding on the floor and then reach down with a smile and say “now, let me show you how I just did that.” |

![]() Unless the round is to head. At the least, you will have a severe headache, or, "your brains will be scrambled. Or one could lose an eye. Or have a slug in your jaw. Regardless, I certainly don't want to find our first hand.

Between amateur hour first time drunk drivers and the Latinos shooting off pistols all over town, I see no value to partying that night. A bottle of Moet & Chandon White Star (I think it is called Imperial now) and download of the last year's Montreux Jazz Festival and I call that a win for the celebrations. At some point the local kids set off some illegal fireworks in the street. Unless it rained that day, I already soaked the roof before sundown. About half the years I've got a gal over for a date and the rest of the years I'm fine to chill on my own. Almost 30 years this way and I'm content with ER and bail free. ![]() Quote:
I'd argue, but your comeback is so good that you deserve to just win the interwebz today. ![]() You've also seen me go to great lengths to help others in a polite tone. As I posted earlier, it depends how you come in new here. If you come in with a swagger trying to look you know what you are talking about, but really don't then I'll swat you every time. If you come in and admit your ignorance of something new then I'll bend over backwards for you. You are completely right about egos here. Bring one in and try to peddle your BS then your ego meets mine. I'll make you pay. Leave yours at the front door and I'll put mine in my back pocket. I'm a mirror that way. I also treat newcomers the same way I act when I'm new to something. I'm fine with being contrite and humble outside my stomping grounds. I give the old pros their due. Newcomers are getting free help they aren't owed. I pay it back with the respect given for their time invested if I'm new. I treat them like I expect myself to act. Go read my stuff from 2012 if you don't believe me. You can disagree with my methods and claim it discourages n00bs, but I'm no hypocrite about it. I'm fine with who I am here.

![]() I have had excellent teachers in all aspects of life from military to career, maybe you haven't.

I have had at least two friends who were a bit like Zeke. If you learn to humor them and not push their buttons you can learn from their expertise, others I have just walked away from. |

Do you even own a .22 rifle that you shoot? |

As far as recrowning, it may be possible to clean up the end of the barrel with a little file/stone work and then run a stone or deburring tool into the barrel to clean it up. Depending on how deep you have to go. Maybe if you have to go a ways because of the indexing tool, you may want to run the threads farther, so you can trim the end of the threaded barrel past where the tool would have went. The use a fine stone on a Dremel to make a nice smooth finish to the end of the rifling. |

Despite what the math says, 2 (weight) x 3 (speed) does not give the same terminal results as 3 (weight) x 2 (speed) in actual use. The effect of a small bullet traveling faster is not the same as a big bullet traveling slower, despite the numbers saying their energy is the same. The US Military has spent millions trying to get their 5.56 to provide the same level of terminal ballistics as the 7.62x39 does. The 6.5 Grendel is a great round for an AR, giving near .308 performance however the ammo is no where near as available nor cheap as either 5.56 or 7.62x39. |

Not sure what military you have experience with sniper training in but the Marines will indeed still smoke you during any advanced training. As a Sgt I watched Majors and above get smoked during Jump School and one even was dropped from the course. You pull your weight or you are gone. As a SSgt I wasn't even treated nicely in the Staff Academy. If a person can't handle the pretty tame stuff they get on these forums then in all honesty they probably aren't going to function well in the much greater stress of an actual shtf event. As Zeke said, show up trying to make it seem like you know a lot while spouting obviously incorrect information and you will get your ass handed to you. At which point you can either admit your error and learn or leave. We aren't here to make sure every snowflake will survive. On the other hand show up seeking knowledge/advice without an attitude and people here will bend over backwards trying to help with a depth of knowledge gathered over the collective years of many lifetimes. Many of us that you imply don't know what the real world is like, have quite a bit of experience in the very nasty side of that real world. Last edited by Steve_In_29; 10-27-2019 at 04:15 PM..
