Thursday was a driving day. I took Hagar to drop off her stuff for a weekend event. Since it was in the right direction, I stopped at my metal supply shop to pick up some metal. To understand an interaction with these folks, you have to first understand noob. 13+ years ago, I found them…

It has been a filled week. There are things you do not know you need until you have them. I’ve been cleaning parts with a spray bottle filled with WD40’s cleaner/degreaser, which sort of works. I also have used Purple Power at a 50%, 100% and had good luck with it. But the chuck I…

When talking about sensitive places, the state takes the position that who or what might be in that location is what makes that place “sensitive”. This is just a dumb way of infringing on The People’s right to keep and bear arms. We will ignore property rights at this junction, just to simplify the discussion.…

This case was another challenge to 18 U.S.C. §922(k) possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Mr. Avila is a bad dude. He was charged with four counts, 2 counts of distributing fentanyl, 1 count of distributing cocaine, and 1 count of felon in possession of a firearm. Mr. Avila, through his state…

A common thread in many of the left’s attacks is just how dumb we are. How out of touch with reality we are. Listening to some city rat tell me that I can’t survive without the cities because of stock markets just makes me cringe. Years ago, I was in a room with my mentor,…

(2100 words) This is the second most satisfying hobby I’ve had. The first being firearms. My first experience was watching a retired machinist running a shaper at the Smithsonian. It was being run from a line shaft. Watching that cutter push its way through a hunk of steel, leaving a little curl of metal behind…

(1600 words) There are two cases that have been kicking around for nearly a decade now. They have been to the Supreme Court, granted certiorari, had the inferior court’s opinion vacated, and then remanded down to the inferior court “in light of the opinion in Bruen” One is Duncan v. Becerra. This is part of…

Two years ago, I started writing for GFZ. I had been supporting Miguel and J.Kb. for a while before that. Sunday will be my 950th article. Hagar is a true author. She has multiple books that have been published. Nothing that’s gone viral and made her boat loads of money, but she writes. It is…

On my, it is finally Friday. Two hours of teaching classes, then a bit of driving. At least I’ll be driving my truck, not my wife’s car, and it isn’t a long drive. Last week was 36 hours of driving in four 9-hour days. This is just a short drive to Mordor. There are many…

Machining is the process of removing material to revile the part that was living inside the raw material. We use two different forms of material, cast/forge and “stock”. A cast item is an item that is formed to a particular shape that is further refined by the machining process. Stock is a standard shape that…
