Feed Your Garand What It Wants: Adjustable Gas Plug Install and Test
The story goes like this. After spending years developing a fancy new 30-06 cartridge (the M1) for their fancy new semi-automatic rifle (the “U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30”), the U.S. Army made an unfortunate discovery: the M1 cartridge could shoot well past the safe zones built into exiting Army practice ranges.
Going back to the drawing board, the military developed the M2 cartridge, a throttled-back version of the M1 that would keep errant rounds within bounds.
The rifle, commonly known today as the M1 Garand, was designed to function with the M2, which means that modern commercial 30-06 ammunition often produces higher-than-safe pressures. These higher pressures can bend the rifle’s operating rod, destroying its functionality and seriously decreasing its value.

Government Regulators: Busybodies in Your Neighborhood
Government bureaucracy has grown so large and powerful that ordinary citizens lack both the political power and the legal financial resources necessary to protect or regain their constitutionally guaranteed rights and privileges. As a result, nameless, faceless bureaucrats make rules and regulations by which we must live and, because they are not elected by anyone, they are untouchable by the voters.

Trump To Score Major Win At Southern Border Using Tariff Leverage, Report Says
Mexico, according to two officials who spoke with The Post, agreed to send up to 6,000 National Guard troops to its southern border with Guatemala, a major chokepoint for Central American migrants in their northbound journey to the U.S. That move is expected to immediately yield results in squashing the number of illegal immigrants.
Apparently buckling from threats of tariffs from President Donald Trump, Mexico is ready to offer major concessions with regard to immigration, a report from The Washington Post outlined Thursday.Additionally, Mexican negotiators are prepared to revamp their asylum rules in the region. Under the proposal, Central Americans seeking asylum would have to remain in the first country they entered after leaving their homeland. For example, Guatemalans seeking asylum in the U.S. would be deported to Mexico, the first country they crossed in their U.S.-bound journey. The U.S. would be able to deport El Salvadorian and Honduran applicants to Guatemala — the first country they presumably crossed.

Sen. Paul Says He Witnessed Trump Give Orders That Deep State Refused To Obey
Via Billy
Is there really a “deep state” antipathy toward Donald Trump? At least one prominent Republican — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul — says he has proof of it.
In an interview with CNN, Paul — who was part of the large GOP field competing with Trump for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination — said that he witnessed Trump order former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance stripped, an order which bureaucrats refused to obey.
