General GunTuber thread

Now you'll probably counter with "we need everyone we can get" and yeah to an extent I can agree with you but not when it comes to leftoids and Autogynephiles. Mainly because there are so few of them (and even fewer who are friendly to the political goals of "The Gun Community") that pandering to them actually puts off way more bigot chuds than it pulls in Socialist Trannoids.

No, I’ll counter with the gun community isn’t a community at all. There are multiple spheres of gun interest. Some of them overlap. Some of them are allies with each other. Some of them are outright enemies. It’s always been that way and it is always shifting.

The most pragmatic thing we can hope for domestically is essentially the same thing as the Cold War where everyone is armed and no one wants to push things too far because it’s mutually assured destruction or too costly.

I will agree with you in that you are correct in the broadest possible way.

Those are fair points, but in this case we're completely justified in telling Karl to fuck off for pandering to people who are entirely too happy with taking away guns from people they disagree with politically. And a lot of these people have been on record, publicly, stating as such. He is, as far as I'm concerned, cavorting with the enemy.

Are you talking about pandering to groups that say these sorts of things themselves or specific people he has had on the channel say these kind of things and having them on panders to certain groups?

I do a half hour on the elliptical 3 days a week. I also do practical body weight exercises relevant to getting in and out of shooting positions; squats, lunges, and burpees. I do these with par times meant to simulate stage durations.

If you actually want to drop weight, I suggest doing at least a mile and a half three to four times a week of running. Combined with a decent diet, the pounds will melt off.

Off the top of my head, there's the transgender stuff. I'm tired and my memory fails me at the moment, and I recall some support of the Chaz stuff and BLM, but I really can't recall that stuff with certainty (Karl usually doesn't occupy my mind much), thus I'll defer to the other guys.

Don’t forget he lost his mind regarding personal freedoms and lockdowns for the COOF. For a man who claims to be all about personal freedoms he really was quick to have the gov micromanage everyone’s lives.

looks like one of the counterfeit Lantac BCG's that were around in 2010 or so, complete with "TiN" gas key screws and bolt issues. what might also be going on is a misunderstanding of the TiN coating thickness being added to the piece so it became out of spec after finish machining and coating - generally TiN is chemical or vapor deposited for firearms parts with close clearances. if the manufacturer is thinking that TiN is more of a plating like hard chrome or something and sent the pieces for TiN treatment at some surface shop, it'll come out oversized if the TiN guy isn't super up to date on the proper specs for the BCG or bolt and doesn't measure them after coating to check on dimensions.

TiN coatings are very thin and won’t throw off the tolerances by that much. At the most a coating put on by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) will add about 0.0007” (20 micrometers for you eurofags) to the surface. That is about the same as what a standard hard chrome treatment will add. The numbers SOTAR was showing is more indicative of it coming from someone who picked up scrap rejects from somewhere and decided to get them TiN to they could sell them quickly to the people who want a “gold plated” gun and don’t have much money to spend.

That's what I don't fully get. I guess I've just always been lucky that all the ARs I've seen home assembled have all worked perfectly without needing to be gauged, and all manufacturer parts always just came together nicely for them. The guy just seems overly anal about gauging, to the point where it almost seems detrimental.

SOTAR's work is pretty much not for the end-user but the armorer that's in charge of performing scheduled maintenance to weapons in the department/unit.
It should not be necessary to gauge a fresh off the factory AR, except to confirm that a shipment of them is within the specs stipulated in the contract.

not if you do it wrong, and man i've seen some really bad coating applications... think 1-2 thousandths added. but i agree, a proper coating shouldn't have resulted in the dimensional issues seen, that's why i was thinking what might have happened was a machine shop turning out the parts, then sending them out to a shop that didn't have specs and wasn't super familiar with PVD/CVD and was going with "what they know" about thicker coatings... maybe they used to do chroming, old school copper/nickel plating, et c. but yeah, either counterfeit or bad parts getting into the supply chain is the most likely.

I think he's more going for the "an armed society is a polite society" thing. Not actual MAD.

I don't think so. We can wait for his reply of course. His statement reminds me of the same kind of thought I had in my libertarian days. If he's saying what I think he's saying, he thinks the various political factions becoming armed will create a sort of nuclear peace.

Came here wondering if someone had already mentioned that lmao. His bolt was just slightly out of battery and tapping it fixed it in time to make Grosskreutz a permanent lefty. FAchads I kneel...

Came here to see if anyone mentioned it.

I am going to wave this in the faces of forward-assist opponents until the universe grows cold.

So the whole "he was trying to rack the bolt" thing they were sperging about during the trial was actually Kyle using the forward assist? Interesting.

I don't think I ever dissed the forward assist, but either way it's nice to see it doing its job. On the other hand, I own an AR because these things are just so damn convenient, but given the chance I prefer a reciprocating charging handle instead. These just feel more solid to me.

I was about to mention this. I wonder if a certain Arizona based ANTIFA loving cuck has heard of this and what his opinions are. After all he has pontificated that they are useless weight.

Something about it not being built right, I'd assume.
People have provided personal anecdotes of the forward assist being necessary ad infinitum/nauseum but when your only frame of reference is bouncing around shooting papercardboard and steel with little to no stress, your perception may be heavily skewed.
