Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Savage's Hair Stylist from PA I was a member of a local firearms forum that is shutting down. I bought and sold guns and gear through that forum locally with good success (mostly in-person meetings, not shipping). Since its closing I recently joined GAFS Hub at Nicks suggestion. What is the “standard procedure” for GAFS Hub, TAC Swap, etc? I see that some people hand write the date on a piece of paper next to the item for sale. What are the expectations for shipping and payment? Paid in full or partial before shipping? Paypal friends and family? Im interested in participating but want to understand how it works first.Thanks, Savage's Hair Stylist Question from Agent J Freedom from Illinois Have you heard of these people? I have purchased two completed uppers from them and they run great. Prices are very fair. Just thought I'd share. Home Agent J Freedom Question from Bill T from Texas Bill TI am looking into building a AR-9. Would you rather a Glock style mag adapter ( I don't have a Glock) or the Exomags from Mean Arms? I already had the lower. Thanks Question from Zachary V from MI Hey guys with all the misinformation and misinformed masses out there where do you go to find verifiable information about guns and accessories? I used to have a couple of places where I knew the information was vetted but they all went away. Reddit is a cesspool and Facebook groups are full of boomer fudds. How do you vet a new source for information?Thanks Zachary V Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob KDear WLS Hey guys this question is mainly for Shawn. I'm interested in getting Pew-locker for my collection and ammo stocks. I was wondering how the ammo part of the site worked? I have close to 20 different calibers in my collection, and almost 4 dozen different types of brand names, bullet types, grains, steel, brass, copper washed, corrosive and non-corrosive. Does it know how many rounds to a box? Does Pew-locker track all of these things and have the ability to subtract when using ammo, then assign it to the gun I used it through? Thanks guys keep up the great work!!!! #WLS is life!!!

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from JackB from TX On double tap 451 Nick said he would know he was successful when he ordered a custom double rifle. I always say something similar, which is if I win the lottery I'm telling no one, but there would be signs. Like the sudden acquisition of a custom double rifle.My first question is, if the cast were going to order custom double rifles, what caliber would you choose? If Shawn wants to make H&H invent a 171 WLS for him, that's dope, but what would your second choice be? Followup question to help me choose my caliber. If I got one, I'd want one of the classic elephant gun Calibers. I love 45-70 but it just wouldn seem right. So of those old safari calibers which ones have milder recoil and are still somewhat commercially available? -JackB Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From: Jaqin Ta'Sox: Dear WLS In double tap 451 at 19:58 minutes, someone asks about deadly force against a bull horn to the ear. I understand an ass whoopin is absolutely due in that situation, BUT I find it kind of interesting. Like Jerambey said, it is permanent bodily harm. Just like if someone tries to use a laser pointer to blind you, deadly force is a go, but not for permanent hearing loss? Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas What is the best way to form 1 a homemade suppressor? Looking at mostly finger printing that can be reused. But also looking at design requirements like length and such. Question from Duke from Texas Duke of CrudeSo I was crusing Armslist looking for some travel guns and came across a mosin nagant for $495. I had an epiphany over that post. What if the mosin was worth the same but inflation was just so terrible that now a $95 dollar gun in 2002 is $495 dollars today? Just some food for thought before AI takes over. Thanks for the laughs! Duke Question from Anonymous Coward from Washington Shawn has been on a geeky mission for a while. I am wondering if he can geek out and make a universal shopping cart that using his web crawler A/I skills could check multiple sites to see if products are available from one source. Example I am ordering some area 419 products, a few CZ mags and a kydex cheek riser. I am bound to pay shipping from 3 separate sites. I am trying to see if there is one source carrying what I need. Keep up the good work Shawn getting deeper back into his tech roots but staying a gun guy at heart is bringing rewards for all of us. GUN INDUSTRY NEWS THEFIREARMBLOG.COM Edgar Sherman Design Notch Precision Shooting Bag Shooting bags don't exactly get a lot of innovation press.The category has been dominated by the same handful of designs for years, and for good reason: a well-executed bag filled with the right material and wrapped in grippy fabric solves most problems a precision shooter will ever encounter on a stage or in the field.New entrants that bring something genuinely different to that conversation are rare enough to be worth paying attention to when they show up.

Mayonnaise cheese and chili on a hot dog is fantastic Question from gecko4 from Montana ⭐hello friends, Last year I made the decision to trust my life on the street to Second Chance body armor. I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front. What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on. Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back. Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate? BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18″ bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and “catch the rounds” while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up. ~gecko4 Question from Angel from California ⭐Angel from commiefornia, looking into getting my first rifle. What's an affordable yet reliable rifle? Looking at AR's. Thanks for the help! Question from dumbass from Nebraska ⭐Dear wls. What is the best chainsaw brand? Signed dumbass from Nebraska Question from Anonymous Coward from Virginia ⭐What happened with RMA defense? Is there a new armor sponsor in the works?

Samsung finally unifies TalkBack with Google, OpenAI considers legal action against Apple, and new AI simulations reveal alarming behaviour — plus the story of a robot dog that went terribly wrong. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece break down the tech headlines everyone's talking about this week. This episode dives deep into the accessibility tech world, starting with Samsung's decision to retire its own version of TalkBack and adopt Google's unified screen reader across One UI 9. This major change means Galaxy users will now get Play Store updates for accessibility features rather than waiting for system updates. Next, Steven and Shaun explore OpenAI's brewing conflict with Apple over poor ChatGPT integration in iOS and discuss the high-stakes Musk vs Altman court battle over the origins and direction of OpenAI. The conversation widens to the implications of AI autonomy, including a Channel 4 investigation into AI agents running amok in a virtual town — and what that means for the real world. Finally, the pair share the bizarre yet revealing story of a robot dog purchased to guard chickens, which turned into a cybersecurity cautionary tale. ----Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedinSubscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheartAbout Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from OopsieDaisy from California For double tap by OopsieDaisy I've been listening to a lot of old episodes and started the book One Second After, a book Jeremy talked about and holy fuck it's good. Since an EMP would wreck all of the electronics in vehicles, what EMP-safe vehicle would you guys choose to take into an EMP ridden world? You have 10 grand to spend. Go. Question from Mike in NH 1st: quick positive review for C&G, I've been carrying my CSX-E series in a Covert for a month now, so great. Thank you to Chris and company 2nd: At what point does a used pick up become too nice/collectible to use/carry? I recently purchased a S&W 640-2. I didn't know anything about it apart from it was in excellent condition, and that it was pre-Lock. I thought it was weird for a steel J-frame to be 38spl only. It turns out the -2 was only made 1997-99 for NYPD as an approved back-up/off duty weapon. So it's kind of rare. Thanks for the opinions and the great shows. -Mike in NH Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude Hey fam, Thanks for reading my question on episode 449 about carry guns and meth country. My definition for meth country is either: 1. Urban sprawls (ex. Tulsa, Memphis) where hard drug use is prevalent 2. Rural areas (ex. West Virginia) where high poverty creates new hard drugs and users But going back to my question on 44 special in particular. Why does no one make a 44spc+P? I was looking for something like 1000-1200 fps 200gr out of a 4in barrel and I could not find any factory loads or even Underwood ammo that makes +P rounds. I have a 329PD that I like, but you will snap your wrist before you get through an entire cylinder of factory load 44 magnum. I was looking at that new s&w nightguard 396 but with my mind blown on how anemic 44 special is, I think I might have to pass. Do ya ll have any recommendations on 44mag/ special revolvers for EDC carry? Question from amonymous texas from coward from Texas Where can I find ammo to fight robots? There's a company called roborounds (roborounds.com if you are not familiar) that has a lot of cool bullets you can fire from standard firearms. For instance one fragments iron filings to short out circuit boards and another one creates a localized EMP on impact. The fucking robots are coming and I need this ammo, but I can't find a place to buy it. I see a few online retailers who used to carry it. I tried contacting them and they won't get back to me. Probably because I'm a nobody. If these guys are done, is anyone else making anything similar? Second related question: what about drone defense rounds? They had some cool stuff for 12 ga shells, but I have seen similar stuff from other companies. Are there any specific ones you know of or recommend? -amonymous texas from coward Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon From No one Your printers are always running. What are you guys printing? Except Jeremy. He don't mess with that nerd shit. Question from Jon W from Washington Jon W I unfortunately live behind enemy lines in Washington state. Years ago when they first became sponsors, I took you up on your advice and signed up for Second call Defense and felt reassured that they had my back if the worst day ever happened. Since that time, our now turd Ferguson governor who used to be the Attorney General made having said insurance illegal in Washington. My question is hypothetically if a person had a close relative in another state could they sign up for Second Call Defense Using that address? They have said that they cover people that are signed up even if an incident occurs in a state like Washington, New York and I forget the other states that think it's murder Insurance. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated Keep up the good work! #wlsislife GUN INDUSTRY NEWS Bond Arms Snake Slayer (BASS) The Bond Arms Snake Slayer is a compact double-barrel derringer designed as an outdoor companion, chambered in .357 Mag/.38 Spl and .45 LC/.410.

Does everyone have to submit the eft and photo for every NFA item that is transferred to the trust? Question from typicalpnwguy from Washington Dear fellow Chad's, I have an “in Minecraft” finders keepers question. If you find a gun on the road while out on your delivery route how long would you wait to start buying mags, a light, a red dot, or a holster for it? Obviously I wouldn't tell anyone or post pictures as I love my dogs too much. Thank you, typicalpnwguy Question from sean_spelled_right from Virginia Question from sean_spelled_right. I'm late to the Glock stuff. I'm wanting to put together a Glock 19, with pretty much no Glock parts. I was thinking about a sct frame but don't really know what to do as far as the slide or barrel. Any suggestions for reasonably priced build. Reasonably priced for me is about $500 for everything. Great show!

Do yall have a discount code that could help the cost? Question from Shaak&Awe from FL Shaak&Awe FWB FL. Curious, has Yairemy ever been interviewed for statements said on the We Like Shooting podcast? Brought to you by Carl's Jr. Question from Duke from Texas Duke of Crude (Dallas trash that was exiled to Oklahoma): Hey fam, Are Weatherby rifles just out of style or am I just addicted to fuddlore and set on a rifle brand that hit its peak 30 yrs ago? With the announcement of their 25 rpm, I'm really beginning to have some doubts about their creativity of high performance cartridges. I have been shooting 300 wby mag for a long time and love the platform, but it seems like all of the newer better performance rounds are not coming from Weatherby. Most of the marketing I see from Weatherby is copying of homework from Hornady with like 15% more velocity. Curious if ya ll even have Weatherby on your radar or if I'm just living like it's 1994. Thanks for the laughs, Duke GUN INDUSTRY NEWS Davranov Limited Edition Python Plate Carrier Davranov has unveiled a limited edition version of its Python Plate Carrier featuring a unique patterned exterior while retaining core functionality including compatibility with standard ballistic plates, modularity for pouches and accessories, and ergonomic adjustments via shoulder straps and cummerbund.

Discover how indie developer Dani Devesa Derksen-Staats created RetroRapid, an accessible retro racing game, and Xarra, a flexible reading and listening app. Learn how thoughtful design, multiple input methods, and community feedback can shape more inclusive experiences across Apple devices. Shaun Preece talks to Dani Devesa Derksen-Staats, an indie developer based in London, about his transition from working at the BBC to building accessibility-focused apps in his spare time. His latest projects highlight how inclusive design can be applied across both gaming and productivity tools. RetroRapid is a retro LCD-style racing game available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Originally a side project, it evolved into a fully released title following feedback at the ARCtic conference. The game was designed with accessibility in mind, supporting multiple input methods including taps, swipes, keyboards, game controllers, and the Apple Watch Digital Crown. Dani explains how audio cues—assigning musical notes to each lane—help players build a mental map of the road, alongside haptic feedback and direct touch controls. Community feedback from AppleVis also played a key role in refining the experience. Dani also introduces Xarra, a newly launched app designed to support reading and focus. It allows users to import text, PDFs, and web content, combining audio playback with synchronised on-screen highlighting at line or word level. Built with accessibility at its core, Xarra supports VoiceOver, Switch Control, Full Keyboard Access, and Voice Control, while preserving image descriptions in audio. It also uses Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models to convert code blocks into natural language when listening to technical content. Relevant Links

Use code AGENCY171 Dear WLS Question from Beefa King Your Mom I just put together an AR10 in .308 and would like to take it hunting for pronghorn out in Colorado. I threw a 1-6 LPVO on it so I could take it to the range but do you think I should upgrade optics? Question from Keith M WINNER Form 1 question, when the atf asks for photos for a suppressor build is it of raw materials or what ? Appreciate y'all and enjoy listening , makes the work day go by faster& annoys the libtards Question from Jason L First off, which Gideon optic would you recommend for a 43X? Secondly, my 12yo son wants to get into USPSA shooting. Should we do it and if we should, any advice? Question from KY Horseman from KY Dear WLS KY Horseman Thinking about getting a Henry Supreme. What do y'all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future. I was leaning towards the 556 version since I already have a stock pile of 556 ammo. What do y'all think? Thanks KY Horseman Question from Ken G. from Virginia Ask WLS: I believe local gun shops are critical to the protection of the second amendment. It seems that online sales are hurting my local shops that don't have a range attached for revenue. Is there a national association that supports and protects independent dealers from unfair trade practices? I recently read about the Robinson-Patman Act. It seems like a well established group could use this act to end the unfair pricing that makes it difficult for small businesses to compete. Ken G.

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Clay-more the Merrier As 2026 is the 500th anniversary of Beretta I'd like to know the panel's favorite Italian firearm, food and historical military leader? Question from Anonymous Coward Jon Hey guys wanted to ask you a question regarding hunting, do you think I should get a 22 air rifle (small game) and a crossbow (big game) to cover my hunting needs on both areas or is there a caliber that you guys can recommend that would do both? Thanks and love the show Question from Matthew C Hello, I am a diesel technician in eastern Indiana and work in a very rural and gun friendly area. A few of us in the shop have noticed that the required experience for drivers has been lowered in the last few years and we have all noticed the “quality” of drivers has drastically dropped. We have had upset drivers that come in yelling and screaming after getting fired or not getting their way (most of them are of the non English speaking variety). A few of us have kept pistols in our toolboxes for years. The safety department and upper management tell everyone “it's against company policy”. They are all great bosses and understand what is actually happening. They then talk for 10 minutes about the high end 1911 they keep in their desk. A couple of us have purchased the North American Arms .22 magnum, folding revolvers to pocket carry. They look like a standard pocket knife clip from 5 feet away and no one notices. The single action and 5 shot capacity is less than desirable though. We were talking and arguing over what is the best gun/holster combination that could conceal perfectly and not get caught on equipment. We are all 5'9- 6′ 1″, 160lbs to 220lbs. Not skinny, not fat. Appendix carry is not ideal. We were all thinking less than $700 total setup. The weapons will get beat up and dirty on occasion. What is your thoughts on ankle holsters? We would prefer 9mm. Would combination would you guys recommend? If no decision can be made, our young parts guy is a 21 year old virgin. He is 6′ 5″ and 350lbs. We could always have him rape the driver to death. Just a back up option. We think he may be Jeremy's illegitimate offspring. P.S Thanks to this show, I figured out that my favorite hat is ALSO a Richardson 112. Fat heads for life! Question from Cooter H Nick mentioned cheap 22's on Double Tap last week. Those make rad projects if you're willing to cut up a classic. I just took a Remington 511, cut it to 16”, threaded it for a can, then mounted an old glossy Leupold and stuck it in a surplus Remington 513 stock. What other old guns would the cast bastardize make it cool again? Question from Chris W Hey guys if you had to build a dmr load out what would it be? Semi auto, or bolt? 30-06, .308, or 7mm rem mag? What optics? Noreen arms makes these big ass semi auto rifles and I kind of want one and cant decide. The budget isnt a concern and its going to be a range toy for the most part or until shit hits the fan and I need someone on overwatch. Thanks in advance. Question from Un-ominous Cowword in Your Mom Is Aaron's middle name really Farkas or is that just him slipping(pun intended) a word that sounds like fuck-ass into his social media? Thanks GUN INDUSTRY NEWS GOA: Anti-Gun Lobby Attacks Organization as Extremists for Second Amendment Advocacy Gun Owners of America (GOA) reports that the billionaire-funded gun-control lobby is labeling the organization as extremists due to its uncompromising stance on restoring Second Amendment rights nationwide. The article contrasts GOA's grassroots support with the anti-gun lobby's scare tactics and political compromises. It urges readers to join GOA to support the ongoing fight against gun control.

The design supports customization with M-LOK slots, Picatinny rails, and SBR conversion where legally permitted. Radian Weapons Afterburner + Ramjet for Glock Gen 6 G19/G45 Radian Weapons has released the Afterburner + Ramjet (AB+RJ) barrel-and-compensator system specifically engineered for Glock Gen 6 pistols, initially for G19 and G45 models with G17 to follow. The system addresses Gen 6 barrel geometry differences for safe compatibility, providing reduced recoil, improved muzzle control, and match-grade accuracy.

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Boone I'm wanting to make a SBR 350 legend ar but I'm wondering what barrel lengths to consider. I'm not wanting to get too short for hunting up to 100 yards. What length would you recommend? And I'm also considering building a 6mm ARC at a later date and what length would be reasonable for it? Question from Adam B I have acquired some cool WWII flags and one has a bring back letter. It is in the old blue duplicator paper and was wrapped with a cover sheet. When i opened up what I thought was just a cover sheet, it was actually a very faint letter for the second flag. Do you know of any place that can restore or recover the document to give the second flag its story. NO Jeremy, I won't sell them to you. Question from Fisher Cat Hey knucklefucks, what are your opinions of the lever action rifle from Henry that's in 556/223? I've been debating on buying one over an ar15 because who doesn't love a lever action? Love the show Question from Dennis H Will Gideon optics be making the mediator 2 in with a green reticle? Also wondering if this would be a sufficient optic for a semi automatic shotgun? Question from Jon F Hey fellas! Long time listener, first time caller. I have a Marlin 1895 trapper in 45-70, this is my primary hunting rifle and I want to get a can for it. I'd like to keep it as light a possible and still be somewhat hearing safe. Also this will most likely stay on this gun, so direct mount (11/16-24). What do you think is my best option? I was leaning towards the dreadnought but I'm not stuck on it. Question from Andrew L I'm in process of printing and building an AR22 based on the CMMG conversion system. I'm also adding an FTN5 can and most likely, a 3-position safety. My question is, have any of you had experience with this kind of setup and what kind of reliability did it have? I'm just looking for something fun to build and shoot but also the secret stash of SHTF supply of files and parts. I'm curious to what you guys have printed or used, what kind of material, print settings etc that had worked best for you. I know there's been some talk about a dedicated show or segment for 3d printed stuff and I'd be fully onboard for that! I'd even contribute if I can or you need. Thanks for the great work! I listen while at work or my 1-hour commute to or from it. Notes: FUCK THE LIBTARDS… GUN INDUSTRY NEWS Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition File Lawsuit Over National Park Service Federal Facilities Firearms Ban The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and a private citizen have filed a lawsuit challenging the National Park Service's ban on carrying firearms in federal facilities such as visitor centers, ranger stations, and maintenance buildings. The suit argues that this prohibition violates Second Amendment rights by forcing law-abiding visitors to disarm to comply with park registration rules, citing Supreme Court precedents like Bruen. SAF leaders describe the ‘sensitive places' restrictions as attempts to circumvent public carry protections. Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5″ Adopted by St. Louis County Police Department The St. Louis County Police Department has selected the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F 9mm striker-fired pistol as its new duty sidearm, citing positive feedback on performance, ergonomics, and slide features from transition training. The Echelon features a patent-pending Central Operating Group with a self-contained stainless steel chassis for quick grip module swaps, including three backstraps, and a Variable Interface System supporting over 30 optics footprints via self-locking pins. Fully ambidextrous controls benefit left-handed officers, with the department recommending it as a durable, configurable platform.0 Ruger Gen II American Rifles – Left-Handed Ranch Configuration Ruger has announced left-handed versions of its Gen II American bolt-action rifles, starting with the Ranch configuration.
