I'm thinking of dumping the 2nd focal plane lpvo, what suggestions would you have for a different optic for that concept? Otherwise, what would you guys do for a "modern battle rifle" setup? Optics, furniture, etc? Cheers, Sean M No notes And 171 for life Nick D - I have a Mitchell shorty DOC with the mloc guard. I want to get a Midwest suppressor hand guard and a dead air can for it so I can have more rail space. Would this be a good set up? Any other suggestions? I have a heat wrap on the rail now and it takes up almost the entire rail. Help Alex S - I recently picked up an older Rem700 in 7mm Rem Mag. Been shooting my .308 out to distance (~550yds) but wanted to go further so i picked this up on a deal. I posted on DangFree about my new scope(Strike Eagle 5-25 FFP) and got a lot of great help there. My question for you today is about the barrel. It is the standard thinner profile barrel and heats up quick after my first few rounds. Is it worth swapping the barrel out to a bull? Should i leave this rifle as-is and invest in a new platform? Any other suggestions? Thanks for your abuse in advance! Wls4life Ragequit from Twitch - Hola everybody, looking into some defensive pistol/ar training and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is worth the time and money. I have seen everything from basic pistol courses where it appears they are indoors at a range to courses that are defensive/competition style classes. And when looking into defensive ar courses it runs the gamut from just getting into ar's to having “professional” training for wet work. What do I look for when trying to decipher the description of classes? I am located near the PA/MD/VA area so for the most part that is not a bad drive for most training if there is a recommendation for classes. What should I look for and what “descriptions “ should I steer away from. I appreciate any help, one of the watchers from twitch Ryan W - I have a registered SBR and recently moved to a new city. (It's an actual SBR with a stock, not a braced pistol, I am not one of those guys.) I read on the ATF website that a change of address form could be submitted after a move, as long as I am not crossing state lines. However, I have also read that the ATF is no longer requiring a change of address form at all, as long as the new address is in the same state. Do you know if this is true? Also, how long do you have after a move to notify the ATF? Thank you for the help...hopefully Mike H - Throwing an update since I already decided on my optic I was asking about earlier, found a great deal on a Sig Sierra3BDX 4.5-14x44 scope and picked up a rangefinder to go with, the scope was only $300 Nick F - odd question but have any of the cast looked into the "no new cemetery " conspiracy? I've found that some cemeteries practice the 50/100 year rule. apparently you don't own your plot forever..... Daniel A - What would you choose to defend yourself FN HP 9mm older model or a DB9 gen4?

The influence of Bombay sometimes comes through gently included but obviously present samples likely from film soundtracks, and other times through the subtle rhythmic inclusion of the bustling city streets into the percussive assembly. It creates a Bombay-meets-Brooklyn sound that Rajah Betta dubs as "Bombay Club". The Bombay-born and NYC-honed DJ, producer and radio host Sagar aka Rajah Betta is currently offering this fusion of geographic influences with an upcoming EP and an India tour that has made its way to Goa, Mumbai and Pune so far. Marking this movement with a Wild City mix, Rajah Betta's selections highlight his tendency to move through his influences. Distorted guitars of alt-rock slip into gritty basslines of club music before the focus shifts to more percussive numbers like Laksa's 'Tech Steppas' featured next to a standout deep cut '145bpm Percussive Brain Cleanse' by Joeti. By the time we reach Batu's 'Inner Space', the mix has fully and discreetly shifted for a dark, high-tempo second half – making its final stop in the gradually transforming but quick journey through contrasting styles.

In the episode, we chat with Dr Pradeep Kumar Jain, who was the Chief Mineral Economist for the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, and has recently retired. With over 42 years of experience in mineral economics, geology, and mining legislation, he has been deeply involved in shaping India's mineral policy, pricing mechanisms, and strategic resource planning. He talks about critical factors for successful mine planning, adoption of new technology, India as a mining jurisdiction, and how they are developing their mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Since 2015, India's mineral concession grants have shifted from a first-come, first-served basis to an auction model, enhancing transparency, increasing state revenue, and expediting the process of granting mining rights. India is rich in a variety of minerals, including major, minor, critical, and strategic minerals. Key states like Goa, Jharkhand, and Odisha are known for specific minerals, contributing to a robust mining landscape. The integration of advanced technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and drone surveys is transforming mining operations in India, improving decision-making, efficiency, and regulatory transparency. The establishment of the District Mineral Foundation aims to ensure that mining activities contribute positively to local communities and the environment, promoting sustainable and inclusive development. BEST MOMENTS "After 2015, the grant of the concession in an auction mode... it is becoming a transparent procedure for grant of the mineral concession." "We have about 25 minerals available... all type of the mineral right from the bulk mineral to precious mineral." "This auction model has made drastic changes... it is making a healthy competition but little bit there is some drawback also." "India is a very good platform for international trade, as well as inviting the international experts to come and venture into the mining sector in India."

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi's London Mission: Trade Meets Royalty It was a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora—and a pivotal handshake in British countryside diplomacy. PM Narendra Modi landed in London for a two-day visit focused on formalizing the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, a deal three years in the making. Hosted by newly elected UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two leaders are expected to finalize an FTA that could eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, while opening India to more British whisky, cars, and luxury goods. Commerce ministers Piyush Goyal and Jonathan Reynolds are likely to sign the deal in their presence. With $55 billion in bilateral trade and nearly 1,000 Indian companies in the UK, the partnership runs deep. India is also a major investor, with $20 billion in British ventures. Later, Modi is set to meet King Charles III, blending hard talks with soft diplomacy. Next stop: the Maldives, in a potential diplomatic reset after recent strain. Mayday in Ahmedabad: IndiGo's Engine Scare It was a nerve-wracking moment on the tarmac. IndiGo flight 6E 7966, heading from Ahmedabad to Diu, aborted takeoff after one engine caught fire during its takeoff roll on July 23. The ATR-76 aircraft carried 60 passengers. Pilots issued a “Mayday” and returned to the bay safely. All passengers were evacuated without injury. IndiGo cited a technical snag and promised thorough checks. This scare comes just a day after another IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore also reported a technical fault before landing. No casualties were reported, but the back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over aircraft maintenance during India's busy monsoon season. Visa Thaw: India Reopens Doors to Chinese Tourists After four tense years post-Galwan, India has officially resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals, in what's being seen as a significant diplomatic thaw. The announcement was made quietly via WeChat by the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Chinese travelers can now begin applying online starting July 24. This follows the recent restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and months of border de-escalation, including the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan and a flurry of bilateral talks. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently met his counterpart Wang Yi, urging the end of restrictive trade measures like China's rare earth export curbs—key for India's EV and agri sectors. From 200,000 visas in 2019 to just 2,000 last year, this move aims to reboot people-to-people ties. Trump Sends More Weapons to Ukraine—$322M Worth Amid escalating Russian attacks, the U.S. has cleared a $322 million arms package for Ukraine. The deal includes $150 million for U.S. armored vehicle support and $172 million for surface-to-air missile systems. The announcement comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused other aid to assess U.S. stockpiles—surprising the White House. President Donald Trump, under rising pressure from isolationists, has since pivoted, declaring: “They have to be able to defend themselves.” Trump's new workaround? Let European allies buy U.S. arms and transfer them to Kyiv. Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $67 billion in military support. Still, NATO countries in Eastern Europe are reluctant to part with their own advanced defense systems, despite mounting urgency. Chanda Kochhar Found Guilty in ₹64 Cr Bribery Case A stunning fall for one of India's most celebrated bankers. Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar has been found guilty of accepting a ₹64 crore bribe in return for sanctioning a ₹300 crore loan to Videocon Group. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Flight Frights: Safety Under the Scanner It's been a tense 48 hours in Indian aviation, with three back-to-back incidents raising concerns over safety and monsoon preparedness. On Tuesday, Air India Flight AI 315 from Hong Kong landed safely in Delhi, only for a fire to break out in the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) just after parking. Luckily, passengers had started disembarking and no injuries were reported. The aircraft has been grounded for checks. This followed two other incidents on Monday: one Kolkata-bound flight aborted takeoff in Delhi due to a technical snag, and another Air India aircraft skidded off the runway in rain-hit Mumbai while arriving from Kochi. In both cases, passengers were unharmed. Adding to the list, an IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore made an emergency landing after a mid-air landing gear warning. All 140 passengers are safe, but the spate of issues has raised tough questions about maintenance protocols and weather-readiness. H1-B Overhaul: Skill May Trump Luck Donald Trump is moving to restructure the U.S. H1-B visa lottery. On July 17, the Department of Homeland Security filed a proposal to introduce a “weighted and wage-linked selection system.” If approved, higher-paid and more skilled applicants will be prioritized over the current random lottery system. This could mark a seismic shift for Indian professionals, who make up over 70% of all approved H1-B visas annually. In FY24, 77% of the 320,000 slots went to Indian nationals. Elon Musk supported the move with a one-word post on X: “Great.” Musk has previously called the system “broken,” and this change could reflect a “merit-first” model, especially appealing to the tech sector. Still, it's a divisive move within Trump's own MAGA base, which often pushes for stricter immigration. The proposal is under regulatory review, with final details yet to be confirmed. Akasa on Ascent: Fastest-Growing Indian Airline Akasa Air is flying high. In just two years, the airline has built a fleet of 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets and placed orders for 226 aircraft to be delivered by 2032. The numbers are impressive: revenue grew 49% year-on-year, Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) rose 48%, and EBITDA margins improved by 50% over FY24. Akasa's RASK (revenue per seat) now stands at 13%, while CASK (cost per seat) remains below 10%. The airline plans to expand international operations from 16% to 25%, targeting Middle East and Southeast Asia routes. CFO Ankur Goel says Akasa is on track to grow its fleet by 25–30% annually, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai and Noida airports could offer strong domestic growth levers. From startup to serious contender, Akasa is becoming India's most ambitious young airline. Modi–Starmer FTA: A Landmark Trade Handshake As PM Narendra Modi heads to the UK for his first visit since Keir Starmer took office, the two leaders are set to sign a long-awaited Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Cleared by India's Cabinet, the FTA promises to cut tariffs on 90% of British goods, making 85% of them duty-free over 10 years. In return, the UK will remove tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, boosting industries like textiles, gems, auto parts, marine goods, and chemicals. This is a big win for Indian exporters, especially in apparel and home textiles, which currently face 8–12% UK duties. The deal also aims to unlock India-UK trade, which currently makes up just 2% of India's global trade—a surprisingly low figure given their historic ties. Once signed, the FTA will go to the British Parliament for ratification. If passed, this could become Britain's biggest trade deal post-Brexit. Learn more about your ad choices.

This outcome is a win for the gun community, reinforcing Second Amendment rights and pushing back against attempts at increased gun control. California Assemblyman Doubles Down on Gun Rights Amid Newsom's Struggles California Assemblyman ridicules Governor Newsom's struggle to accept a gun gift from Shawn Ryan, highlighting the ongoing tensions between state lawmakers and the gun community. This incident underscores the challenges faced by gun control advocates in a state where pro-gun sentiment persists. Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Romeo Whiskey - It's ok ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Von L - Communism is a failed lie of a system that's caused misery and death since its inception. It promises equality but brings starvation and oppression. It kills freedom and innovation, turning people into pawns for power-hungry fucks. millions died in the Soviet Union, Mao's China, and North Korea from this poisonous ideology. these woke cunts support it, claiming that its the morally superior system of government while simultaneously ignoring that communist regimes like Cuba or the USSR would've jailed or killed them for being gay. unintelligent fucks rant about how the only reason its failed in the past is because its "not real communism" while it having been attempted multiple different times by different countries and it always leads to bread lines and death. fucking weird how that works. Anyway, great podcast, 5 squares. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Denny - This podcast is great to stay up to date on recent gun news and g...

I own a suppressor and was under the impression that I needed to update my address with the ATF. After asking Capital Armory as well as the suppressor manufacturer, they both told me not to worry about it and I didn't have to. I know you guys aren't lawyers but what would you do in this situation Mike H - Just bought a ruger SFAR in 6.5cm and trying to decide what glass to put on it. Tempted to go with a 5-25 but the longest range I shoot at is 400yd. I intend to get into hunting at some point with this rifle but I do not hunt yet. Since I just spent a grand on the gun I'm not looking to spend anyyhing crazy on the glass. Thanks in advance. P.S. Jeremy isn't a cunt P.P.S. Aaron is a cunt no notes Jeremy's Cousin Again - My question bout what meat you like. came from you guys talking bout kanye west cousins intimacies. I already knew what meat Aaron liked. Urva Jinaswet - We Like Shooting Episode 611 starting at timestamp 01,07,33 you guys were talking about a video on the SIG P320 and someone making it fire with using parts from different P320 configurations. You guys brushed it off as something that doesn't prove anything because it was made/forced to work like the ATF making that Auto Keycard to work. But it is not like that at all, and you missed the point. The point is that the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being pulled. It proves the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being depressed. So with parts being out of spec or not functioning correctly, which is entirely possible with mass production and MIM and shitty QC, the P320 can fire without input from the user. I have been saying this for a while now and now this video proves it. The trigger is not mechanically linked to the striker safety lock. The trigger pushes the striker safety lock out of the way when the trigger is pulled, but it does not pull it back when the trigger returns to start. A tiny spring is what returns the striker safety lock to safe. That's it. Just FYI. Where is this video that shows this? Warrior of the Weekend - Shawn, a few months ago you talked about doing a magnifier comparison review. I was really curious about the results. Did you ever finish it?I just need to know that my Eotech G33 magnifier is the best since it's the only one I have experience with therefore it's the best. #skibidihauktuagigachads Tater Daddy - Hope this arrives before it doesn't matter anymore. DearWLS is like sending a letter in 1848. Have we considered fully whether or not we want the hearing protection act as part of a tax bill? I can see directly how this could legitimize anti-gun NFA-like gun control in future tax bills as part of reconciliation. That would mean in 2-6 years we would be fighting Nonsense that could not be filibustered. On the other hand, this could represent an opportunity. There would obviously be a reprieve during which time suppressors would be easier to get. New tax based legislation for gun control might also represent better fodder for judicial challenges than a 90 year-old law which has gone relatively unchallenged.What are yous guys thoughts? -Tater Keith M - Hey guys, question of the day,,,,,,,on the H.P.A. /“ shush” act . If they take suppressors off the nfa list, (No form 4) just a 4473 ,
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. VP Dhankhar Resigns, Citing Health In a surprising political turn, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from office on Monday, citing medical reasons and the need to prioritize health. The resignation—submitted under Article 67(a)—was effective immediately. In an emotional letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Dhankhar expressed gratitude for her support and recalled their “wonderful working relationship.” He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Members of Parliament, and the Council of Ministers, calling his tenure “a privilege” during a transformative phase of India's rise. Known for his sharp legal acumen and parliamentary presence, Dhankhar's exit comes at a politically sensitive time, raising immediate questions over his successor. Turbulent Monday for Indian Aviation Monday saw a series of aviation scares across India. IndiGo flight 6E 813 from Goa to Indore reported a technical snag just before landing, but landed safely with all 140 passengers. At Mumbai airport, an Air India flight from Kochi veered off the runway in heavy rain, bursting three tyres and possibly damaging an engine. In Delhi, another Air India flight aborted take-off due to a technical glitch, leaving 160 passengers grounded. All incidents ended safely, but they've reignited concerns around monsoon preparedness, runway resilience, and aircraft reliability amid growing air traffic. China's Giant Dam Raises Red Flags China has begun building the world's largest hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet—just upstream from India and Bangladesh. The $167 billion Motuo Dam is projected to generate 3x the output of the Three Gorges Dam. But India's not celebrating. Arunachal CM Pema Khandu called it an “existential threat,” warning the dam could act as a “water bomb” if water is suddenly released. India's foreign ministry has urged Beijing to respect downstream interests. China, not party to any water-sharing treaty, has promised “no negative impact.” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma offered a cautious view, saying the river's flow comes from multiple sources and more study is needed. Meanwhile, India is moving ahead with its own buffer dam project on the Siang river. Jane Street Cleared to Trade Again After being barred from Indian markets for alleged ₹43,000 crore index manipulation, US-based hedge fund Jane Street is now back on the NSE and BSE—under tight SEBI conditions. The firm deposited ₹4,843.5 crore into an escrow account, a key requirement from SEBI's 3 July interim order. Jane Street denies any wrongdoing, claiming its trades were simple arbitrage. The return doesn't mean the probe is over. SEBI will continue monitoring Jane Street's trades under heightened surveillance, with a final verdict expected in the coming months. Meanwhile, BSE shares jumped nearly 3%, and unlisted NSE stock saw a surge in demand. Afcons Rides Global Rail Boom Infrastructure major Afcons just clinched a ₹6,800 crore railway project in Croatia, its second big win in a week. The project involves reconstructing a railway line between Dugo Selo and Novska, including electrification and signaling. This follows two Croatian road project wins worth ₹4,535 crore, a ₹700 crore Reliance contract in Gujarat, and a ₹463 crore rural water project in Rajasthan. Despite strong order momentum, Afcons' stock has underperformed since listing in November at ₹426. It now trades around ₹418, down over 10% from IPO and nearly 27% off its high of ₹570. Still, analysts remain bullish, citing the company's execution record and robust pipeline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.PAN-PAN in the Sky: IndiGo's Emergency Landing It started with a “PAN PAN PAN”—the aviation distress call for urgent but non-life-threatening situations. That's what the captain of IndiGo flight 6E 6271 declared mid-air on Wednesday, after detecting an engine snag. The Airbus A320neo, carrying 191 people from Delhi to Goa, made an emergency diversion to Mumbai, landing safely at 9:53 pm with emergency teams on standby. All passengers were safe. This incident adds to a growing list of technical issues for IndiGo: a bird strike on a Patna-Delhi flight and a technical snag on an Indore-Raipur route earlier this week. With monsoon weather disrupting flights across Delhi, India's busiest airport is under pressure—and so is IndiGo's reputation. “This is not a drill.” That was the warning after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska near Sand Point, triggering a tsunami alert for parts of the Alaska Peninsula. The quake hit at 12:37 pm local time, just 20 km below the ocean floor—shallow enough to generate tsunami waves. The National Weather Service issued alerts from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass, covering towns like Cold Bay and Kodiak. Alaska lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the world's most seismically active zones. Though no major damage has been reported, the tremors are a stark reminder of the region's vulnerability, echoing the devastating 1964 quake that killed over 250 people. After months of turbulence, Ola Electric's stock surged 20% this week—but it wasn't driven by earnings. The company's revenues halved, and losses widened in the latest quarter. What changed? Ola's auto business turned Ebitda-positive in June for the first time, thanks to stronger sales of its premium Gen-3 scooters and tighter cost controls. But serious headwinds remain: market share has dipped below 20%, regulatory hurdles continue, and customer complaints persist. While Ola has scaled back its ambitious battery manufacturing targets, it's betting big on a leaner, profitability-first strategy. The road ahead? Still bumpy—but at least the wheels are turning in a new direction. India's biggest lender is raising big money. State Bank of India (SBI) is planning to raise ₹45,000 crore in FY26 via bonds and equity. Its board just cleared ₹20,000 crore worth of Basel III bonds, and it launched its first QIP since 2018, setting a floor price of ₹811.05 per share. Though its capital adequacy stands strong at 14.25%, SBI wants dry powder to support future growth and match peers like HDFC Bank (19.6%). Experts say overall bond activity may slow this year amid weak credit growth and investor wariness around AT1 bonds post-Yes Bank. Public sector banks, including SBI, are increasingly leaning into QIPs—not just to raise capital, but also to meet government disinvestment goals. India has just beaten a major climate target—five years ahead of time. Over 50% of the country's power capacity now comes from non-fossil fuel sources, fulfilling a key Paris Agreement commitment well before the 2030 deadline. Renewable energy now makes up 48.3% of total capacity, with nuclear taking the figure over the 50% mark. To further this momentum, the Cabinet has greenlit massive investments: NTPC can invest up to ₹20,000 crore via its green arm, while NLC India can invest ₹7,000 crore through its renewables unit. Experts caution that while capacity is growing fast, actual generation from renewables—especially solar and wind—still lags at just 13%. The next frontier? Turning that potential into real, round-the-clock clean energy output.

In this globe-trotting episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are joined once again by Rob Carter, one-third of the “Maltmigos,” for a single malt tasting session that travels from the Himalayas to the Highlands. Though Amzie couldn't make the show this time, the malt trio powers forward from their tasting post at The Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky. The spotlight this episode is on Royal Tiger Single Malt, a double-cask expression from Ocean King Distillers in Goa, India. Distilled by Craig Enriques, this single malt is made from six-row Himalayan barley and aged first in new ex-bourbon casks before being re-casked for a second maturation. The result? A spirit layered with creamy vanilla, overripe pear, honey-drizzled bread, and a whisper of spice from the oak—delightfully balanced and surprisingly sweet for fans of traditional single malt. Jim, Todd, and Rob dig into the expression's structure, remarking on its buttercream and vanilla-laced nose, light body, and smooth, sweet finish. They note that while the whiskey skews a little sweeter than their usual fare, it offers a refreshing break from the bolder, high-proof bourbons they typically favor. For a $49 bottle, the consensus was unanimous: this Indian single malt punches well above its weight. Other expressions tasted during the show are Ice Cream from Glenmorangie, Loch Lemond and Glen Scotia. As they sip, the conversation ranges from distilling techniques to global whiskey culture. The team highlights India's rapidly growing single malt scene and how regional water sources, climate, and local grain are contributing to distinct profiles that rival the best from Scotland or the U.S. They also muse about the potential for single malt cream liqueurs and whether peated versions could offer a new kind of dessert dram. Beyond the glass, the hosts discuss upcoming barrel picks in western Kentucky, share travel plans to Fort Campbell and Clarksville, and reflect on the value of tasting outside your comfort zone. For Rob, this was a first-time single malt deep dive; for listeners, it's a lesson in palate exploration, regional nuance, and just plain good company. So whether you're a bourbon loyalist or a curious malthead, this episode is an open invitation to explore a world of flavor—no passport required.

WLS is Lifestyle Outrage Over Jay Cutler's Controversial Africa Hunting Photo Jay Cutler faced backlash on social media after posting a photo of a Sable antelope he harvested during a hunting trip in Africa, igniting fierce responses from both pro-hunting and anti-hunting users. Supporters emphasized the conservation benefits of regulated trophy hunting, highlighting its role in funding anti-poaching efforts and supporting local communities. The incident illustrates the ongoing divide in opinions within the gun community regarding hunting practices. Aaron's Alley P320 / FBI drama Safety Fail: P320 Concerns The report found that the striker safety lock on the Sig Sauer P320 does not work as designed. Specifically, it indicated that the safety lock can be disabled through movement and friction, rendering it ineffective at preventing the striker from impacting a chambered round. The evaluation showed that with common movements representing those of a law enforcement officer, it is possible to disable the striker safety lock, which is supposed to be the last safety feature to prevent unintentional discharge. The report also noted issues such as wear on the sear, a ledge on the striker pin hook, and movement of the slide and components during testing, all of which could contribute to the risk of uncommanded firing. Overall, the findings suggest that the safety mechanism is unreliable and can be compromised, raising serious safety concerns about the firearm.

I can only assume with such a tiny magnification who ever had this rifle before me didn't shoot more than 50 yards , I'm thinking it was set up as a deer rifle. I'd like to take it out to 100 yards at least, intent is to be a general purpose rifle and not just set up for deer/50 yards or less. What magnification would you guys recommend I look at/for? Also looking at picking up a new rifle in 338 Lapua, what magnification would you recommend for this one? Have access to a 300 yard range for this one, hopefully can find a longer range someday. Thanks, Jordan" Hugh G. Clit - "How many stoppages is too many for your main squeeze AR? I've recently started trying to train more. I w been using a cmmg 22 conversion to shoot at least 500 rds per month of drills. Normally about 150 rds at a range trip. Then I finish the range trip by shooting a mag of 55gr 556 ammo. But my rifle normally has a hard time getting through the 556 mag. Having a failure to fire every 5 or 6 rds. I'm thinking it's because of how dirty the 22 lr is. But if I do t shoot the 22 lr ammo. I get a stoppage every 2 or 3 mags. Is that normal? Should I be able to get through 100 rds without an issue? How many times do you expect to have a malfunction per 500 rds?" a-in-your-face s. - "I was watching a JaredAF video where he was talking about lead levels and lead exposure. He shoots a lot and reloads and had is blood lead level tested and it was 5x the normal level. The amount of shooting I do is very cyclic, from 10-15k rounds a year when I was shooting competition to very little in the last year. If I had high levels they have probably lowered by now. But lately I have been introducing my kids to shooting and trying to at least teach them about exposure and hand washing (and keeping your hands out of your mouth). Do any of you guys have concern for lead levels and lead exposure, particularly Shawn who shoots a lot and Jeremy who spends tons of time at an indoor range? Is this something that yall even think about? #no_notes #SSB" Kyle R - It's the mid 80's .The WLS SSB Team has been convicted of crimes they did not commit and escaped into the Ohio underground. Colonel Lynch (not Nick) and his team has them pinned down in an active airplane hanger. You each need to choose a character, but not the obvious one. Therefore no Jeremy Pozracus, Hannibal Herron, Nick the Faceman, or Howling Mad Moses. Savage can remain the female reporter that follows them around. You can choose 1 of 2 weapons from each of the following 4 categories to disperse 1 of to each member. Pistol- Hi-Power or 1911. Rifle- M16A1 or Mini-14. SMG- Thompson or Micro-Uzi and a heavy machine gun-M60 or M2. How does the SS-B Team get out of this one? AR Drew - I am looking for a short (under 10”) bolt action 300blk. Ideally it would be 1/5 twist and I would only shoot suppressed. My question for Jeremy is how important is that fast twist on a short barrel with subsonic 300blk? The twist really limits options to the B&T SPR300 (about $5k), the Q Mini Fix (about $2500 dealer cost but Q), the Christensen Arms MPP (about $2k when you can find them), or more custom options like Black Collar Arms. What does the crew recommend?

I have the option of installing a safe at a family members property that is still in a suppressor friendly state and leaving it there. So long as I am the only one that knows the access code to the safe will this be okay? Joe No Notes Rusty S - In a fight for your life, would you rather have a rifle chambered in a pistol cartridge or a pistol chambered in a rifle cartridge? No pistol braces or buffer tubes that can be shouldered are allowed on the pistol. Mr. NiceGuy W - If you were the devil, what would you offer your cast members in exchange for their soul? Jeremy, I would offer to pay off his range and give him a lifetime supply of ranch Aaron I would offer clear skin, free of psoriasis, a toilet capable of handling apples and good luck Nick would be easy. A healthy and a proper functioning digestive system. Savage I would offer, hair, height and a few Bitcoin. Shawn would have to be weight-loss without exercise or Ozempic, and wrinkly balls Jordan S - Hey guys, TL/DR- Supressors expensive. What next gUuDeR muzzle device? I've had my 1st AR for a couple years now (basic flat-top PSA) & interested in changing out the cheap A2 birdcage, that everybody seems to hate. Watched some YT. They all start w/ the birdcage. 3-4 prong flash hider or hider/comps. Suppressor adapters & then whatever suppressors they have. All (except the wHisper pickles) seem to be +/- on recoil mitigation vs flash suppression and they end up saying ""Just get a suppressor"". Yeah, no shit. They are THE best muzzle device. I don't see myself getting into suppressor money soon, so not really worried about that. Jusy looking into something different. Use case is paper punching, but aiming for accuracy. Nothing high speed. I like the open prong FHs (purely off esthetics). Not "jazzed" about the concussion that comes (Hehe) with compensators, but haven't ruled them out. Even thought about a flash can, because reasons, ya know. It's not like the paper/cardboard targets are going to be shooting back. Obviously NODS aren't in the scenario either. Whatcha think? Thanks for getting me through the work week on Spotify. No notes. Dick Beelong - I have an autistic question for y'all even though Jerombé will probably hate on me for it. I'm currently running an AEMS on an ADM NV mount on my suppressed 11.5"" AR15. I obviously have my light and laser up front. But I got a good deal on a T1/T2 GBRS Hydra mount and it has me curious. Should I swap over to a t1/t2 style dot and move the laser back or just not be a bitch and leave it as is with a ton of weight upfront? Thank you for your time and Aaron, stop being racist. We all saw what you did with those chicken & duck eggs. #nonotesborthers Dan N - Hey guys, I've been fucking with guns for a while. Building and fixing everything I can. But in an ever present need to learn more, I want expand my knowledge. So, what are your favorite gunsmithing style books?

मतभेद भुला दें।En: Her effort was to make Anaya and Kabir forget their differences at this meeting.Hi: मीरा की पहल पर सबने गोवा के इस तट पर पिकनिक का निर्णय लिया था।En: At Mira's suggestion, everyone had decided on a picnic at this beach in Goa.Hi: गर्मियों का समय था, और समुद्र की ठंडी हवा सभी को राहत दे रही थी।En: It was summertime, and the cool breeze from the sea was providing everyone with relief.Hi: अनया ने निर्णय लिया कि वह कबीर से बातचीत करेगी और उसकी दृष्टिकोण समझने की कोशिश करेगी।En: Anaya decided she would talk to Kabir and try to understand his perspective.Hi: पर कबीर का मन आजकल अनकहे शब्दों में ही लिपटा था।En: But lately, Kabir was wrapped in unspoken words.Hi: तभी अचानक बादलों की गड़गड़ाहट ने सभी को चौंका दिया।En: Suddenly, the rumbling of clouds surprised everyone.Hi: एक तेज़ आंधी आने का संकेत था।En: It was a sign of a strong storm.Hi: सब जल्दी से पास की एक छोटी सी झोपड़ी में छिप गए।En: They quickly took shelter in a small nearby hut.Hi: अचानक मिली इस निजी जगह में, अनया और कबीर को अपने द्वंद को सामने लाना पड़ा।En: In this sudden private space, Anaya and Kabir had to confront their conflict.Hi: मीरा ने पहल की, "देखो, तुम दोनों के बिना ये परिवार अधूरा है।En: Mira initiated, "Look, without the two of you, this family is incomplete.Hi: हर किसी को अपनी जगह चाहिए। चाहें वो गोवा हो या सिंगापुर।"En: Everyone needs their own space, whether it's Goa or Singapore."Hi: अनया ने कबीर की आँखों में झांकते हुए कहा, "भाई, मुझे अपनी पहचान बनाना जरूरी लगा, लेकिन मैं तुम सबसे दूर नहीं जाना चाहती थी।"En: Anaya, looking into Kabir's eyes, said, "Brother, I felt the need to make my own identity, but I never wanted to go far from you all."Hi: कबीर ने कुछ क्षण सोच कर कहा, "मुझे तुम्हारी उपलब्धियाँ देखकर गर्व होता है।En: Kabir, after thinking for a moment, said, "I feel proud seeing your achievements.Hi: लेकिन तुम्हारे बिना भी लगता है कि कुछ चूका है।"En: But without you, it also feels like something is missing."Hi: तूफान की गड़गड़ाहट के बीच यह बातचीत चेहरों पर मुस्कान ले आई।En: Amidst the storm's rumbling, this conversation brought smiles to their faces.Hi: तूफान थमने लगा, और दिलों के बीच भी जमी बर्फ पिघलने लगी।En: The storm began to subside, and the ice between their hearts began to melt.Hi: अनया और कबीर ने समझा कि दूरियां भले ही भौगोलिक हों, मगर उनका रिश्ता मजबूत है अगर वे एक-दूसरे को समझें।En: Anaya and Kabir understood that distances may be geographical, but their relationship is strong if they understand one another.Hi: अब अनया ने तय किया कि वह दूर रहते हुए भी परिवार के साथ जुड़े रहने के लिए समय निकालेगी।En: Now, Anaya decided she would make time to stay connected with her family even while being apart.Hi: क्योंकि आजादी और परिवार का संबंध साथ चल सकते हैं, बस चाहत और समझ चाहिए।En: Because freedom and family relations can go hand in hand, only the desire and understanding are needed.Hi: समुद्र तट पर वापसी के समय, सूरज की किरणें समुद्र पर झिलमिला रही थीं।En: As they returned to the beach, the sun's rays twinkled on the ocean.Hi: परिवार का हर सदस्य हंसी-खुशी से लबरेज़ था, अनया के चेहरे पर एक नई चमक थी, जैसे वह खोई हुई जड़ों को फिर से पा रही हो।En: Every family member was filled with laughter and happiness, and Anaya's face had a new glow, as if she had rediscovered her lost roots.Hi: इस मुलाकात ने अनाया को सिखाया कि परिवार में बंधन चाहे छोटे हों या बड़े, वे हमेशा हर तूफान से लड़ने में मदद करते हैं।En: This meeting taught Anaya that whether family bonds are small or large, they always help in facing every storm.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! GOALS August 9th and 10th in Knoxville, Tennessee. Knoxville Convention Center Free to GOA members https://events.goa.org/goals/ - Dear WLS A-in-your-face. WLS is life - Long story short, I had a medical event while on vacation in Mexico and the care there sucked! (I do not recommend) A med kit wouldn't have helped my situation much but it got me thinking. In the states when I travel via vehicle, I always have at least one pretty stocked med kit on me. But I have never thought to take a minimum of supplies when I fly on vacation or when I travel to other countries. What things would you recommend in a travel kit, at a minimum? Thinking that you dont have your vehicle, might be in another country, and may have restrictions on the things you bring? I am thinking a small minimum kit of a couple essentials would be smart... #no_notes Sean M - Suppressor Mount Question, I'm putting together a BRN180 with an 10.5" 5.56 barrel and have a Griffin GP7 ready to go. Being that it will need a thread adapter (from 1/2-28 to 5/8-24) would it be better to pin and weld or silver solder that setup? A-ARONS lost foot - I recently bought my first lever action gun and I don't know to go Red Dot route or if I should go lpbo route. I bought a Marlin 1895 BL and 4570 and in terms of use case, it's going to be arranged toy. Could be used for hunting for the down the road, but possibility is open. with the cast do a red dot or lpvo and just thoughts of why they went with that decision if they were me? Thanks my dudes Alex W - I've been listening to this podcast every week for 5 years. How the fuck did I not know that Shawn and Jeremy play DnD?? Dane G - Hello wls. First off love the show guys. Looking at starting a home ffl. Was thinking of using rocketffl to get started. I think Shawn used them to get started and was wondering the process of it. I know you use an office space, would you recommend that so my home address isn't public? Feel like that's putting a huge target on my home. Thanks guys. Ps. If I was gay I'd suck your titties Shawn. Dutch Walker - My Mitchell Defense story. Roughly a year ago, I picked up a Mitchell Defense rifle in 6 ARC. I was excited when they started offering this caliber, especially after hearing high praise from Shawn and Nick. An interview with Nathan Mitchell, the company's founder, sealed the deal, and I ordered one right away.First Impressions out of the box, the rifle looked fantastic, the components were of high quality and I was eager to take it to the range.The rifle ran smoothly, cycling perfectly with or without a suppressor. But when I tested its accuracy my groups at 100 yards were consistently over 3 inches, no matter the ammo. To make sure it wasn't me, I shot other ARs, including another in 6 ARC, and got sub-MOA groups. I contacted Mitchell Defense, and Nathan himself called me to talk through the issue. He immediately sent an RMA for the upper. His team wasn't satisfied with its performance either, so they upgraded me to a Proof carbon fiber barrel at no extra cost—a serious step up. Unfortunately, the new barrel had the same problem. I'd get three shots grouped tightly, but two would stray 2-3 inches in random directions. I sent Nathan photos of my groups, and he replied with some troubleshooting tips. Sometime later, when I emailed him to let him know I was heading to the range to try his suggestions, he called again. This time, he said they'd found an issue with certain Proof barrels and sent another RMA. A few weeks ago, I got my rifle back with a new Proof barrel. Last weekend, despite 17-20 mph crosswinds,

Duncan Strain started Silent Noize 16 years ago. A gamechanger. In this episode, Duncan talks host Adam Parry through the journey from promoting Birmingham club nights to hearing about headphones for events from his business partner, launching Silent Noize and the circumstances/breakthroughs that led to the Silent Seminars offshoot some 10 years later. Duncan, and Adam, remember the impact of introducing headphones to an early edition of Event Tech Live, at the Old Truman Brewery, and how the idea has become almost ubiquitous across the model since – at home and, increasingly, abroad. The conversation takes in Goa beaches, Silent Seminars providing for silent yoga and meditation too, event wellness rooms, immersive experiences, cinemas, the spoils of headphones for students and staying in front of wireless earbuds. It covers new partnerships, the challenges running/expanding Silent Seminars, picking the right people, the enormity of the US market, and beyond.

I'm your host Matthew Larosiere and I'm joined by the ratman. - Rare Breed's aggressive litigation tactics and questionable patent claims have led to widespread criticism and legal challenges, highlighting the potential for abuse within the patent system. - A recent ATF letter regarding the improper pinning and welding of a Beretta 71 barrel extension has been misinterpreted and sensationalized by gun rights groups, causing unnecessary panic among gun owners. - The Supreme Court's unanimous decision in favor of Smith & Wesson against the Mexican government's lawsuit underscores the protection provided by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, though it also reveals the court's hesitancy to address broader Second Amendment issues promptly.

Garima Arora is the India born chef of the two Michelin star restaurant Gaa in Bangkok, Thailand. She is the only female Indian chef with two Michelin stars. Garima has been working tirelessly to awaken the transformative potential of Indian cuisine both in India and abroad for many years. She developed a non-profit called Food Forward India, that documents, discover and catalogue the diversity and complexity of Indian food and the culture surrounding it, and is also a judge on MasterChef India, one of the most wide-reaching culinary television shows on earth.In our conversation, we speak of how the perception of Indian food has changed since she opened the restaurant. I spent two months in the country when I was 25, traveling on 3rd class trains everywhere, going from the Himalayas in the north to Goa in the south, and the border with Pakistan in the west to Varanasi in the east. Aside of being one of the most impactful periods of my life, I tasted so many things that were new to me and I haven't seen since. Indian food, the cuisine of a massive landscape with hundreds of ecosystems and more people than any other country on the planet, was, for many years, reduced to a handful of curries and breads outside of the country. It's so vast and rich and has been bottled up within India for so long, but suddenly it's starting to spread. This is very much a big moment for Indian food outside of India. Tresind Studio in Dubai was just awarded 3 Michelin stars. Semma in New York was named the best restaurant in the city by The New York Times. And within India there is a lot going on too, not just with fine dining restaurants, but at the street level there is an energy there that is growing by the day. This is a cuisine, sorry not a cuisine, but thousands of them, that have been overlooked for far too long.Aside of trying to juggle parenting with chef life and her early career as a journalist, Garima talks about her work at Gaa. She tells us about the historic Thai house that was moved in pieces to Bangkok and reassembled with the help of a modern architecture firm to create the setting of the restaurant. She tells us how she cooks the Thai fruit durian on a tandoor oven as her main course, which sounds like one of the most delicious things ever.READ MORE at NEW WORLDER.

This week, we're talking about an under-discussed part of federal gun law and a significant recent update to it. While most gun owners know you need to pass a background check to buy a gun from a licensed dealer. And most also know you need to pass one to get a concealed carry license. But many don't know their concealed carry license can be used to bypass the sales background check requirement--at least, in certain states. That list of states got longer this week as the result of a Gun Owners of America (GOA) lawsuit and President Donald Trump's executive review of gun policy. Now, 30 states have "Brady Permits" that allow holders to bypass the sales check. GOA's Sam Paredes joins the podcast to walk through the years-long legal fight. He lays out how GOA plans to lobby states to change their laws to qualify for the alternative status. He also said GOA plans to file follow-up suits to get ATF to recognize even more permits.

William Dalrymple is a bestselling historian, award-winning broadcaster, and one of the world's most dynamic voices on colonial history. In this episode, Ami chats with the legendary India-based Scottish writer about his latest book, The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World, which argues that India's intellectual and spiritual contributions have been foundational to the global world we live in today—and yet remain widely unacknowledged in the West.With warmth, humor, and piercing insight, William shares what it was like growing up the youngest of four brothers in an eccentric aristocratic family, how his radical Scottish nanny shaped his worldview, and why he believes India's greatest export isn't Bollywood or curry—but the number zero. Ami and William discuss how Indian ideas influenced everything from mathematics to religion, why Western education omits these facts, and how colonization played a role in that erasure.From buffets in Delhi to dancing in Goa, DJing at farmhouse parties to dinner with Aamir Khan, this episode blends deep history with cultural stories and unforgettable banter.

Republicans and their cheering fans in Con Inc. media are a bunch of listless vessels with no ideological direction on most issues. The one shining exception is the gun rights movement. We're joined today by Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, for a presentation on where things stand with gun rights both federally and in the states. Valdes celebrates numerous policy and legal successes of GOA, but also warns that there is more to be done. The gaping hole in gun rights is the gun-free zones. As a Floridian, he discusses the lessons of the FSU campus shooter and how RINOs in Florida support gun control without campaigning on it. Also, as a former police officer, Valdes is passionate about the need to treat civilians and police equally. He confronts some of the arguments from police organizations in support of various gun control laws. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
