and in this morning’s news: Saudi Arabia shoots down Scud missile fired from Yemen
Excellent. The more involved the primitives are with fighting one another, the better, provided the West stays out of it. Buy popcorn.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

It comes as a relief, KG, when someone writes intelligently on the subject to which I’m always pointing out how news stories are linked: And Just Who are the Useless Eaters?
Where rulers never utter a harsh word towards Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases (the Godless mix we know as Sustainability worshipers), the ruled are at grave risk.

I reckon horses are for rounding up cattle, Darin. Mind you, I guess the fragile inbred racynag could do that job in a hurry. For an hour or two…

An interesting time can be had debating the alleged perils of GMO food with a follower of horse racing. The racing nags are gorgeous examples of genetic manipulation.

‘A drag racing car has snapped in two on a dummy sprint run at the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway, southwest of Brisbane, Australia.
The brand new 10,000-horsepower car snapped following a chassis failure in the qualifying round of the international meet on Saturday.’

Well that will ruin your lunch,guess the chassis boys will have to up their game again

I just found a really neat tool.Ever hear a piece of music in a Youtube or Vimeo video that you really liked,but the author of the video didn’t mention what the title of the music was in the description?
This website will find it for you,all you have to do is paste the video URL into it’s search box and hit go.

I did one just now and in less than 20 seconds found out the name of this-

Thank you Darin!
Brilliant! Thanks, Darin.
Milo: ‘yes it’s different’
Nestle admits the classic Kiwi drink tastes different, but says the changes were made for our own health.

I can remember when Coca Cola came only in glass bottles and was made with real sugar.
I can remember when Chocolate milk came in square glass bottles with peel off tin lids.
I can remember when those drinks were refrigerated in coolers with real Freon,the same stuff that made a car AC cold enough to freeze the tits of a boar hog.
I can remember when a pair of blue jeans lasted a decade.
Everything that was good is now crap
Kinda like Coffee flavored Coffee-

Yep. But soon we dinosaurs will be gone, and the young and uninformed shall inherit the earth.
And they won’t have known anything different – or better.
Thank God Coke is still made here with real sugar, even though I’m not supposed to drink it I do have the odd one.
Coke made with high fructose corn syrup makes me gag and will ruin your metabolism.
From Australia:
‘Terror supporters stripped of citizenship could be dumped in countries ill-equipped to deal with them, the Greens warn.’
And the problem with that is?
Honestly all I see are up sides to this
Me too – the Greentards must be getting desperate for a headline.
I have a question for you and Oswald, Darin – the ammo for Gecko’s .357 lever gun seems to be a fairly loose fit in the chamber, and the shells show evidence of powder marks after firing.
It’s good Winchester ammo.
Any thoughts?
I would check in order-
#1 ammo,try a different batch of ammo.Same result then try
#2 headspace,piece of plastigauge or hard candle wax stuck to the casing face either side of the primer.Chamber and eject,then measure the thickness of the gauge wax.if it’s more than .003″(.07mm) it may be time for a fresh chamber
#3 go-no-go gauge,this would be the last thing to check to see if the chamber or throat is eroded.
I’ll get some plastigauge, Darin. Thanks.
(A fresh chamber sounds expensive)
Oh forgot to ask,is the powder getting down towards the rim or is it just up near the crimp?If it’s near the crimp there are several possibilities.If it’s all the way down I wouldn’t shoot it again until I figured out what’s wrong.
It’s about halfway down from the crimp.
If this just started happening I would suspect the ammo.If it’s done it for a awhile and it’s a gun that’s seen use it could be a worn chamber or throat or possibly the head space has opened up.
Might do a chamber casting if you can find some Cerro safe alloy.Although a chamber casting on a lever gun may have to be done from the muzzle end.
Here’s the SAMMI specs for .357

I asked a friend. He says normal wear and tear after 200,000 rounds with the steel Winchester used in barrels, or damage from a single overpressured round, could cause what you’re experiencing. Or if the barrel had ever been rusted and cleaned out.
Thanks, Darin. I’ll get it to a gunsmith this week.
The gun was loaned out for a long time and came back with signs of rust, had obviously been given a rough clean, Pascal, so that’s for sure at least a partial answer. Thanks for asking your friend.
This gun has had nowhere near enough rounds through it to be worn out.
He says a replica barrel should cost about $300 plus install. A real Winchester about $1000.
Local gunsmiths tell me a re-barrel would cost more than a new gun!
Thieving bastards.
“If it shoots and shoots accurately, I’d leave it alone. Chamber wear and blow-by is not generally life threatening. Accuracy is easy enough to test.”
What a pussy:

Hmmm…..with a name like Mohammed the cat was probably right to bite him.
Did anyone else notice that the 57 States Obama mentioned in his 2008 campaign actually exist. It’s just that 57 is the number of states that are the Islamist countries.
NY teachers no longer need to have basic literacy skills:
http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/06/ny-teacher-exam-thrown-out-for-being-discriminatory/
Oh, great! And I just read an item which says few Kiwi teachers (and I’ll bet Aussie ones too) can teach maths.
The idiot judge “Kimba” needs to be tarred and feathered.
To Pascal, above:
It doesn’t shoot too badly for a lever gun and I doubt the barrel itself is very worn.
Anyway I’ll get it gauged next week and have a think about it. At the very least it’s a handy close-quarters tool.
