Horse And Gun

Riding is good for mind, body and spirit, it's fun, too, provided you don't fall off the horse and smash yourself to pieces. With that in mind, I went for a ride yesterday on a new horse. 

She's an Arabian mare called Wendy, who had been in very bad shape when she was bought for the vast sum of $300. She looks fine now, but what was she like to ride? After getting a cup of coffee at Big Willy's, I went to find out.

First off, she was gentle and well behaved, at least to humans, maybe not so much with her horse pals. She was also responsive and easy to ride, even for a rusty horseman like myself. We walked, trotted and cantered and I thought, "I like this horse!" 

No crazy bucking, head tossing, snaking, ducking and diving, just riding, with plenty of power held in reserve. She'd be fun to gallop and run, and I'll try that later. It turns out she's had good training, though that wasn't known when she was bought. Long story short, I've ridden horses that were orders of magnitude more expensive and much less good.

After horsing around I went for a shoot, and that was alright too, though my groups weren't much to write home about. Whatever, it's all rounds down range.

Stay on the horse and keep squeezing the trigger,

Anglicans Meet With Patriarch of Moscow

Archbishop Foley Beach, leader of the traditionalist Anglican Church in North America, (ACNA) headed up an Anglican delegation to Moscow this week, where they met with Patriarch Kirill.

Big Membership Success

Kirill, who is the Patriarch of Moscow and Russia, greeted the delegation warmly, stating:

"Your church went through a very difficult period of its history, and the faithful took courage and had the ability to respond to a great temptation. There are two models of the behavior of the Church and of Christians. One involves obedience to the secular power and the powerful forces that have an impact on social development. The other model involves the ability to speak the truth and to remain faithful to the Christian message."

I'd say that was right on the money.

Epic Membership Fail

Approximately 1000 churches have been built in Russia every year for the past three decades. By contrast, the Episcopal Church, which is aggressively obedient to the secular power, has lost one third of its Sunday attendance in the last 12 years. 

Cheers,

Morissey, New World Order Shill

Remember the famous Pop Star, Morrissey? Sure you do, he was the frontperson for the awesome boy band, The Smiths. Everyone loved their tunes; they were like the Pet Shop Boys, or the Communtards, only more thoughtful.

But now Morrisey has lashed out at his lame duck, NWO superior, President Obama, accusing the architect of Hope and Change of being white like Shaun King or Rachel Dolezal, and implying that Obama is a member of the Klan.

“This is ludicrous," stated the world renowned pop star, Morrissey, "because the so-called security forces are the Ku Klux Klan to most black Americans. It seems evident to me that black males are being deliberately murdered throughout America as a closing message to Obama, telling him that his presidency has meant nothing and that the division of color is now bigger than ever."



The crazed vegetarian singer songwriter continued, "The final point about Obama is that he doesn’t look overly African black. He’s as close to soft, whiteness as someone who isn’t white could get, and I often wonder if he would have been elected if he had a stronger, more African-black face? It’s a point.”

Piers Morgan, Illuminati Also Ran

Morrissey is a well-known member of the New World Order, although he ranks below Piers Morgan. Here's some of Morrissey's great lyrics:

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means (of slender means)

each household appliance

is like a new science in my town

and if the day came when I felt a

natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump

in the ocean

and when a train goes by

it's such a sad sound

White people running around in black-face has been in the news lately. Apparently the once-famous Illuminati lead singer for the Smiths thinks that's a bad thing.

Morrissey has been forbidden by the State Department from giving further interviews.

Burning Man Freak Fair Infested By Bugs. Shocka.

This year's Burning Man hippy throw-down was infested by bugs. "What!" You cry out in amazement, "A freak fair, infested by bugs!" 

Yeah, that's right, bugs, in the Nevada desert. The hippies brought them there.

Hippies Goofing Off Around a Fire

Hippies are notorious for bad personal hygiene, thieving, hustling, and lying around, out of it, when they're not goofing off around fires or dressing up like Indians.

"Indian"

There's very little water in the Nevada desert, which makes cleanliness difficult. Far out, eh?

Make of that what you will.

You Fixed it, Does it Work?

Because it was Turnaround Tuesday after yesterday's great market meltdown, I figured it'd be a good idea to turn around one of the deadly assault rifles and fix its bolt catch assembly. And I did, what a turnaround! Or was it. I took the rifle to the range to find out.

Lo and behold, the weapon performed flawlessly, unlike the stock market, which decided to turn back around again. I guess that wasn't fixed.

My shooting was alright, but nothing special. When I did my job, which was part of the time, the rifle shot touching, or nearly touching, groups from 100 yards with cheap value pack .223 ammo. So I can't complain.

Learning to Shoot the Glock 21...

To make things even better, clouds rolled in with a cool breeze and it threatened to rain. It didn't, tantalizingly, but still, it was half way there and that wasn't bad. I closed off the shoot with a quick blast on the Glock 21. I like that pistol! With a bit of work I might even get good at it.

I love getting out in the field with guns; just you, the firearms and the countryside. It's peaceful, apart from the explosive fire of the weaponry, obviously.

Dove season soon and I'm looking forward to that. I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to the implosion of our financial system. But that's a different story.

Be prepared,

Fix Your AR 15's Jammed Bolt Catch Assembly

I came to the end of a magazine of 5.56 and the bolt closed in the receiver, instead of being held open by the bolt catch. Hunh, that's weird, I thought wisely to myself, like a firearms professional, and had a look at the weapon. It turns out the catch had jammed and wouldn't rise to catch the bolt when the magazine was empty. What had gone wrong? I took bolt catch assembly apart to find out.

All Taped Up

It's not hard, tape up the receiver to stop it getting scratched, then tap out the roll pin that holds the assembly in place. Save yourself some aggro and use a roll pin punch. Pin out, remove the catch, its spring and its detent. Look at these items in wonder and inspect their various wells to check for Hillary's emails, or anything else that might have jammed the catch.

Bolt Catch Assembly. Don't Lose the Spring, or the Pin, or the Detent, or the Catch.

Inspection passed, reassemble the catch using a drift pin to hold it in place, I used a small punch, then test its movement. Notice that the catch is sticking and that it doesn't want to release when it's tapped into the receiver. Why?

Tap Out the Roll Pin

I had a closer look and saw that the face of the catch was fractionally proud to its inletting in the receiver, which produced friction and stopped the catch's movement.

Diamond Coat File and Blue Heeler

So I pulled the catch and filed the offending metal down with the diamond coat file on my Leatherman Wave. Not much, about the thickness of a piece of paper, 0.1 mm. Then I tested its movement to see if it was still jamming. It didn't, good result.

Get a Roll Pin Starter Punch, they're Helpful

Then put the spring back its hole, and the detent in the spring. Don't lose the spring and the detent by idly flinging them across your workbench, because if you do the bolt catch won't work. Next replace the catch, using a drift pin to hold it in place, and see if the thing works. It does. 

Use a Small Hole Punch as a Drift Pin

Keeping the drift pin in place, tap in the assembly's roll pin, using a roll pin starter punch to get it going, and finish off with a roll pin punch until the pin's in position. Test the assembly and note with a warm glow of inner satisfaction that the catch doesn't stick and jam anymore. Well done, hopefully the problem's solved.

To make sure, put the rifle back together again and place an empty magazine in its well. Pull back on the charger and release. Will the bolt catch move upwards thanks to the pressure of the magazine spring and hold the bolt open? Will your expert machining be vindicated? A moment of bated breath and... yes, it works.

And it Works

Congratulations, you are now a Bolt Catch Assembly Technician (BCAT).

With that in mind, I think I'd better go and range test this beast.

Black Monday!

The markets were tanking, so I went for a shoot with GWB. The guns were black, although my pal took his 30-06, Winchester Model 70 Featherweight, which is wood and steel. 

Market Forces

He wanted to sight it in before going on a shooting safari in Africa. I've asked him to send me a monkey.

Get in the X Ring

Winchester dialed in, it was time for some battle rifle action. I shot at the 100 yard bench and the ARs seemed on and well capable of Minute of Crashing Dow (MCD).

Man Down in the War on Weather

The pistols worked too, as witnessed by a handily swinging steel plate. But here's the thing, we're in a war against the weather, as well as market forces and their bankster backers. This took its toll. 

Your Old Friend

It's raining now. I thank God for that.

The Axe And The Train

I went shopping for an axe, and found one, it was rusty and beat up. 

The Local Shops

"How much does it cost?" I asked the owner of the shop. "That's the most expensive thing I've got here," he replied. "I can see that," I answered, and we both stared at the axe for a long moment. Then the owner caught my eye.

Put the Emails on the Train!

"You can have it for five bucks. No tax."

"Cash is King. Go ask Hillary, she dumped all her emails on some Nazi train in Poland. That's why I want this axe, to be prepared."

"Smart. Give my love to Huma."

"Yeah I will. Here's your money."

Nazi Train

I left the store and drove to the Compound, where I cleaned up the axe and sharpened its blade.

The Axe

They want 10% to open up the train, maybe I'll offer 9.

Hillary Clinton Emails Found on Nazi Train

With a tip of the Glock to LL, a long-lost National Socialist train, filled with Hillary Clinton's emails, has been allegedly found in Poland.

Reputedly stuffed with precious emails and Blackberries crammed with invaluable top secret State Department information, the train rests in a hidden tunnel  in Poland's mountainous southwestern Walbrzych district.

Local media outlets are reporting that the train could hold as much as 300 tons of classified documents, scrubbed from the Clinton's closet servers.

Two men are demanding 10% of the value of the treasure trove before they reveal its location.

Go For a Ride

After Morning Prayer and walking the dog I went for a ride, but first I got some coffee at H-Donuts. H-Donuts is run by Vietnamese, I think, and helps make up the rich tapestry of ethnic diversity that is our small farming community. Their coffee was strong.

Blue had fun playing with the other dogs while I caught a house and saddled up. The animal's an Arabian and stands pretty firmly for States Rights, which explains the saddle blanket.

We walked, trotted and did some reining exercises, and that was all good. Then I hosed the horse down and drove back to the cultural melting pot of the Compound, where a Mexican appeared and gave me some tamales; a dozen of them, cheese and jalapeno. Maybe he was illegal, maybe he wasn't, but I do know that the tamales hit the spot after an hour or so of horsing around.

I've resolved to ride every week, That is my plan.

Stay on the horse,

You Lying Blacktivist

Yet another famous blacktivist, Shaun King, seems to have been caught pretending to be black when he is, apparently, white.

Like Rachel Dolezal, King thought black lives mattered so much that he had to become an African American. This helped him to get a coveted Oprah Winfrey scholarship to the prestigious black university, Morehouse.

Two White People Pretending to be Black, Pretending to be Farmers

It also helped him to become a prominent black civil rights campaigner. But Shaun, are you sure you're black? Maybe race, like Bruce Jenner's gender, is a construct that we invent as we go along. 

Surely Some Mistake

In the meanwhile, the Black Conservatives Fund PAC has offered to give Black Lives Matter $25,000 if King can prove that he's the blacktivist he says he is, and not a lying fraud, running around in blackface.

Good luck,
