    As someone who has had a ton of dogs. You absolutely should get a puppy before Nova gets too old. She will train the dog to do all the things you trained her to do. It makes your job soooo much easier. Also old dogs get over being annoyed after a few weeks.....but always give her bigger treats. You don't want to see what happens if you do.😮

    • @basedWisco715

      This is great advice, training a puppy is about 90% less difficult if you already have a well-trained adult dog

    • @a2Asupporter
      @a2Asupporter 10 місяців тому +8

      I concur. I've had several of my own dog while also fostering many rescues of various ages for adoption. Generally most "adult" dogs are very tolerant of "pups" under a year old, and teach them a lot of good doggie social skills which is very important. What you may run into with having a puppy and a senior dog is that the puppy can quickly wear out the senior dog as some puppies want a lot of play time, which can make the senior dog cranky when they're tired. But that's also a good lesson for a puppy to learn ... don't keep pestering a dog that no longer wants to play.

      I've got to admit, Brass Facts is growing on me.
      I grew up an Army brat and then enlisted at 17. My government service ended after 15 years.
      You know how "set in its ways" our military can be.
      While I agree that bolt guns are not made to be utilized as battle rifles on the modern battlefield.
      However, bolt guns are still the most accurate weapons. My bolt gun is my sniper rifle and 1 of my AR-15s serves as a battle gun, along with 1 of my handguns.
      So, keep up the good work.

Here we are airgun aficionados! We feel your pain of the commie government which here in Mexico is not as easy to implement their left wing agenda due to that majority of Mexican people are conservative Catholics and Patriots as well. We agree with most all the conservative Americans and see how this nightmare is all planned by the powers that be. You'll be surprised how many conservative Catholic and Protestant Americans/Canadians have moved here. My props to you is that you talk and discern possibilities and situations with common sense, unlike the other guys on UA-cam that feel like they only talk doomsday scenarios and push you to buy their products.

    21:50 I can tell you why. It's one thing to desire basic weapon illumination on a defensive firearm, its another to want the best possible performance. We have weapon lights for 2 major reasons, PID and disorientation, that are offset by 2 unpredictable variables: photonic barriers and distance.
    Sure, the costs are getting up there but that's the only downside at this point. You are much better off with better horsepower and ergos if you can afford it, but this is definitely not one of those items to go into debt for and you can work your way up from basic lights.

    On a note about flashlights: i had a Streamlight ProTac on my AR with the pressure switch and all that hot stuff.
    It was fine until i picked it up one day and the pad didnt kick the light on until the third press.
    I now have an Arisaka 300 scout body with a Malkof head and Surefire D-07 tailcap with a surefire pressure switch. Its a sample size of one, but prior experience with a Streamlight Strion and this experience with the ProTac pushed me to the higher end light. I currently have 1 light between 3 uppers because i can only shoot one at a time, but still.

    Piecemeal commenting: the 16” Criterion Hybrid 6.5 CM with JP full mass high pressure BCG is a fantastic combo. Relatively light for an AR 10 barrel, but consistently allowed me to shoot precisely out to 1k at a local PRS match, enough to win the gas gun division against 20”+ 308s and such. And it handles well enough for carbine work… but obviously not as good as an 11.5” 5.56 for that trade space.

    Im not a bullpup guy, but I’m actually giving the A3 Triad a try with one of my SBR lowers. 10-10.5” BRN-180 that’s shorter than a P90. I like that the Triad’s length of pull is on the shorter side for a bullpup. May turn out to have horrible ergos, but being able to use an existing SBR is too intriguing.

    "I don't think it's a scam, it's insurance".
    That's what insurance is.
    USCCA policies have a clause that their policy doesn't cover illegal action. "Well that makes sense" you might say. Except it means that one person at the insurance company gets to decide whether you were in the right or wrong and whether the policy will pay for your defense before you even go to trial. You may very well have been able to convince a jury of self defense but if you can't convince USCCA then they won't give you a red cent out of that policy you paid for.

    Consider making your own bonded soft point ammo. 55gr, 62gr, or 75gr Speer Gold Dot projectiles are very reasonably priced when available. I recommend N135 powder especially for short barrels with cans. Clear nail polish can be used to seal case mouth and primer pocket. I wipe a little over the primer after seating. For the case mouth I seat the bullets long then wipe a little around the bullet seat to final depth wipe off excess then crimp.

    I totally agree on the weaponlight thing.
    Surefires cost hundreds of dollars because they can withstand literal IEDs going off.
    For home defense that’s a diminishing return on your money. Hell, all you really need it to do is turn on. If you’re REALLY broke, $20 at home depot and some duct tape and you can tackle the vast majority of day-to-day flashlight needs for a civilian.
    (Just don’t burn your house down with an Olight)
    As for M81 I grew up playing airsoft in thick pine woods which is very dark and I will say it works fine when laying prone but as soon as people stand up the amount of black on it aggressively silhouettes them. People have a tendency to underestimate how bright healthy foliage actually is. The problem is made even worse when M81 gets wet.

    As for a shotgun.. I feel like it does have one use case outside of hunting. This is only in semi auto form, my example being the beretta 1301 tactical that I own and have modded to meet modern standards, optic, light, sling, etc… is that unlike rifles/pistols/pdws, you get the same firepower the military would have in their weapon. The 1301 is very fast as long as the shooter can manage it, and can dump 7 in the tube, 1 on the lifter and 1 in the chamber, 9 shells of 00 buckshot, making 81 holes in a target, in a few seconds. It’s an incredibly violent weapon, that outside of full auto, can’t really be obtained. The benelli m4 is another option, but outside of the benellis track record, I’d say the 1301 takes it.

I couldn't open the file format they used, so I decided to find an AUG receiver file and finally try my hand at casting aluminum. Its my first 3d printed firearm and the first casting I've ever done. 3d printing made casting stupid easy. 3d guys need to expand beyond plastics. We need to use 3d printing to make machining, fabrication and casting easier for the every day man
