-Land of the Free
This Week In Guns, May 30th, 2015


By Chris Covert
Rantburg.com

You may remember this bipod, which was made last summer for the Mosin Nagant. If you saw it in real time you would have assumed it was made by scrap material on the spur of the moment, intended to be just something to stabilize the rifle.

Using it, it did improve my shooting by a lot. But it had two problems, one immediately apparent, and the other not so much.

First the bipod wasn't pretty, and it wasn't because it served a single purpose. I used it once and that was it. It was useful if you have the time to set up, fire and displace, for a subsequent shot.

The other problem was the "footprint" of the rifle with the bipod. The Mosin Nagant is a long gun to begin with. From the crown of the barrel to the tip of the butt stock, it is about 48 inches long. From the tip of the butt stock to the center line of the original bipod it is about 47 inches.

So, a few weeks ago I went to a local gun shop and bought two Picatinny rail sets, both for the Howa .308 rifle. The sets had one rail which was curve to fit on the barrel/receiver and the other was flat. Both had drilled/countersunk holes in them for two 6-32 oval head screws, supplied with the rails.

I remade the basic attachment, attaching it as a rest for the barrel, but this time attaching a length of flat bar .500 x 1.00 by 9.000 long. The footprint under this setup is reduced from 47 inches to 38 inches.

Apex Gun Parts (don't bother looking: they're sold out) had a sale on a hard anodized aluminum bipod for about $25. I assembled the barrel rest, the flat bar, then drilled two 8-32 holes for the Picatinny rail where the bipod will rest at roughly the location of the first hand guard ring.

I had to modify the Picatinny rail, overdrill it to accept two 8-32 screws, then countersink it 82 deg., where the head of a socket head flat screw would be below the inner surface of the Picatinny rail.

Sorry, I won't have pics until next week, when I go to the gun range. But the new bipod looks a lot better than the original one.

Please note the notation at the beginning for the summary for arms and ammunition concerning the AR-10 pattern rifles.

Loads.

Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition:

Prices for pistol ammunition were mostly higher while rifle ammunition prices were mostly lower.

Prices for used pistols and used rifles were mixed.

Note: The average price for an AR-10 pattern .308 Rifle has tumbled $15 to $928 average nationwide inside of two weeks. That is a very large and consistent drop. Only seven weeks ago the average price nationwide for AR-10 pattern rifles was $1,359, which including this last week's drop makes for an average drop of about $60 per week.

I can't explain the drop other than the obvious one that people are chucking the AR10 pattern rifle for something lighter. Maybe? Dunno.

I do know I have not seen any price drop in any class of firearms, rifles or not, this pronounced since This Week in Guns was begun.

Africa Subsaharan
Love it or List it: SA Pres drops $24m USD on presidential mansion upgrade.
[Daily Caller] The South African president spent $24 million in taxpayer money revamping his home. One of his nominees, tasked with investigating the issue, justified the spending spree as a security upgrade Thursday.

President Jacob Zuma installed an updated swimming pool, chicken run, cattle enclosure, amphitheater and visitors' center, according to Agence France Presse.

After South Africa's ombudsman said Zuma "unduly benefited" from the renovations last year, encouraging the family to repay some of the money, the president called Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko to look into the matter.

Arabia
Driver alerts of Saher cameras 'un-Islamic'
[ARABNEWS] RIYADH: It is un-Islamic for drivers to warn each other about Saher cameras if the purpose is simply to avoid a fine and then continue speeding.

This is according to Sheikh Ali bin Abbas Al-Hakami, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars.

He said that drivers are acting immorally if they warn each other by flashing their lights on the roads. He urged them to abide by the country's traffic laws rather than indulge in such behavior.

There have been reports of many people trying to avoid being caught by Saher cameras on the country's roads. This includes taping over, or removing their license plates.

Cuba removed from US terror sponsor list
In 1982 they were screwing around in Angola and various vacation spots in South America. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union they've had to pay their own freight in both areas and they haven't been able to do that with an economy that's based on repairing '55 Pontiacs.

Home Front: Politix
Wife Of Judge In Sheriff Arpaio Case Allegedly Claimed Her Husband Is Out To Get The Sheriff
"I got the sheriff.
But I did not get the deputy too!"

On May 22, attorneys Michele M. Iafrate and A. Melvin McDonald filed a Motion for Recusal and Disqualification of District Court Judge G. Murray Snow because of revelations allegedly made by Snow's wife regarding his apparent disdain toward Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his wishes to drive the sheriff from office.

Those revelations came to light in an August 2013 conversation between Mrs. Snow and her childhood friend Karen Grissom. In that conversation, Mrs. Snow allegedly said her husband "hates" Sheriff Arpaio and "will do anything to get [him] out of office." If true, such emotions and desires on the part of Judge Snow appear to be at odds with a truly neutral oversight of the contempt proceedings now underway against the Maricopa County Sheriff.

The Motion for Recusal includes a copy of the Facebook post in which Grissom relayed Mrs. Snow's words to Sheriff Arpaio after remaining quiet about them for some time.

From the court documents, Grissom's exact words were:

Judge Snow I know his wife and talked with her one day she recognized me from our childhood she told me that her husband hates u and will do anything to get u out of office. This has bothered me since last year when I saw her.

India-Pakistan
Parliament has authority to abrogate constitution, SC told
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
government defended parliament in the Supreme Court on Thursday and said when it amended the constitution, it exercised constituent power and not legislative.

Senior counsel Iftikhar Gillani, appearing on behalf of the KP government, argued before a 17-judge full court hearing challenges to the 18th and 21st amendments that being a supreme body, the parliament even had the authority to abrogate the constitution.

"If a new constitution has to be brought in, the old one has to be abrogated," the counsel said when Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed asked whether parliament could abrogate or repeal the constitution.

Indian Boy, 5, Beheaded in Suspected Child Sacrifice
The last of the thuggees...
[AnNahar] A suspected occultist beheaded a five-year-old boy in a ritual sacrifice in northeastern India before being lynched by angry villagers, police and relatives said on Friday.

The father of the decapitated youngster said his son, Sanatan Bag, had been enticed into the home of Nanu Mirdha who then butchered him as an offering to the Hindu goddess of power, Kali, in front of a makeshift temple.

"Sanatan was lured with chocolates by the sorcerer Nanu Mirdha to a temple where he sacrificed him by beheading him in front of the altar," Sajan Bag told local television channels in the state of Assam.

After Sanatan's body was found in a pool of blood on Thursday night, villagers then turned on and killed Mirdha, according to the police chief for Assam's Sonitpur district.

"We are investigating if it was a pure case of occult practice or personal rivalry that led to the incident," said Sajukta Parasar.

While the overwhelming majority of Indians practice mainstream religions, there are occasional reports of human sacrifices in rural areas such as the remote and impoverished northeast of the country.

First the big vent opening behind the cockpit and second with the VTOL capability, the danged thing doesn't need a catapult...it can do a roll out with VTOL assist.

The jet blast is not the hot flame on a jet. The big problem with most AC is the APU vent. When the F-18 came on board, we had a real problem with the APU tearing up concrete aprons and flight decks. About the only thing that makes sense on this beast is the fact they got "smart" and vented the APU vertically instead of downward as was the case with the F-18. All commercial aircraft vent the APU out the tail horizontally.

Germany has lowest birth rate in the world
h/t Gates of Vienna
Germany has the world's lowest birth rate, according to a new study produced by German auditing firm BDO in partnership with the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI).

Although Germany has had the lowest birth rate in Europe in recent years, the study alleges that it has now surpassed countries outside the continent.
The study shows that, on average, 8.2 children were born per 1,000 inhabitants over the past five years. In Europe, Portugal and Italy came in second and third with an average of 9.0 and 9.3 children, respectively.

Globally, the study pointed to the African continent for the highest birth rates. The West African country Niger took the top position with 50 children born per 1,000 inhabitants.
