Well, first let me say I'm not lashing out at you, but......Ask your insurance company or "we the people". Half the accidents police work occur on private property, no law was broken and the police have no real business being involved, but the insurance companies have lobbied successfully to have police intervention because it is what "we the people" want. Even accidents on the public roads are almost 100% of the time just that "accidents" and nobody willfully intended to do any damage. In other words, they had no intent to commit a crime but police are involved because it's what people and their insurance companies demand. They even demand that a citation be written to the at fault party because it's "too hard" to settle insurance claims otherwise. I am ready for the sign waving, shit talking folks to get what they want, a nation full of people who handle their minor (misdemeanor) and most of their major (felony) rule of law issues on their own and live or die with the criminal/civil consequences. The silent majority can do just what they do now...nothing...and suck it up until they can't stand it anymore then demand change again with the realization that there will always be a very small amount of bad actors doing very bad things as long as humans are involved on both sides of the rule of law equation.

Don't get me wrong, there are some things really bad in policing in America as a whole that need to be addressed and changed, but I'm tired of the woke hyperbole, like 10% of the police are bad. 10%? There are 700,000 cops in America. The largest majority are in positions that regularly make contact with the public every day. Conservatively 80%, so 560,000 in America conservatively making 2,000,000 or so contacts with the public daily. If the day George Floyd was killed a 1000 other officers had been filmed doing the same thing, unlawfully killing a man by knee choking him to death, it would have amounted less than 2/10 of 1 percent of the 560,000 LEO nation wide and less than .05/10 of 1 percent of the contacts during that 24 hour period. Bad actors? YES! 10% absolute bullshit. And I have read post estimating the bad actor pool to be anywhere from 50-90%. Laughable.

Police don't police the bad actors so ALL cops are bastards, another screech from the woke crowd. How in the hell am I supposed to stop a Minneapolis, Atlanta, fill in the blank cop from doing evil? The department I work for hasn't had a cop killed by gunfire since 1972, a cop shot by a citizen since 2001 and the last time a citizen was shot (and killed) was 15 years ago. We have had countless murderers, robbers, rapist arrested since then. I disarmed one myself armed with a SKS with a quick butt stroke to the jaw when we had a meeting engagement in a dark hallway. My department fired two officers in the past 3 years for using a choke hold on suspects, one on duty, one off duty....with no complaint from the suspect or the public....because like most departments in the SE choke holds are forbidden by SOP unless you are actually trying to kill a man. In the course of 24 years I have been in countless situations where I could have used deadly force on a suspect but didn't. I have shot one man in that time, he was 10 yards away in the summer north GA mountain woods. Had already shot 4 people, one a very good friend of mine. He was at the moment trying his best to kill me with a .357. I didn't want to shoot him, I didn't like shooting him. I'm not proud or happy or satisfied that I shot him. I'm content to be alive, but that's about it......But I'm just one of the PIGS because of very small percentage of rogue cops doing vile, evil, unlawful crap nation wide, mostly in liberal strongholds where unions reign, and I can't somehow find a way to make it stop.

I'm tired....I'm also on vacation so I'm done with the internet today. I apologize to you right here and now for dumping this response on you. I know it's not what you asked for. I'm sorry about that, I truly am.

Thank you for telling it as it is.
I think a lot more people should see this and understand y'all are just people doing a tough job.
You do your best, just like most people do their best at their jobs. Yours just happens to involve potentially life-altering situations, and there are good reasons most of us on this forum aren't doing what you do.
Nobody's going to die if I don't get a cabinet installation exactly right (although from some of these bitches, you'd think so).o_o
Nobody's going to jail if @Jds556762 wires a switch upside down, or if @Old Skool sells the wrong vitamins to them.
Nothing terribly bad gonna happen if @Peanut Butter sends the wrong nurse to a site, or if @Red Dawn gets his lines a bit crossed doing surveying, everyone still goes home at night. @Mr. Goodbar 's customers might melt a little this time of year, but they'll survive, I'd bet.
@Gaige 's customers...well, fuck it - they're in trouble anyway if they have to rely on him and his buddies...:whistling:
And @triplestack3 might himself go to jail if he fucks up bad enough, but I guess that's another level entirely...

I have decided to hold off on my Khyber Mutt, and build out the M72. As cool as it would be to have an Underfolder Al Quds clone, I can't justify the nearly $300 extra it would run me.

It is all numbers matching. I found the serial on everything except for the top cover (which is blank), they are very shallow/faint so I gotta find someone to re-engrave them for a reasonable price. (Don't have the tooling) Even the grip is numbers matching which was a huge shock for me.

A Childers receiver with the right side Zastava engravings, and a couple other custom touches is only $180, which is actually quite reasonable considered it is a serial matched complete receiver and it comes with slotted rails which opens the door for a Post Dealer Sample down the road.

Hopefully I find someone to re-engrave the individual parts in the next couple days so I can have that being done while Childers is making my receiver.

I was considering doing a BFPU look but considering how nice the wood is, I think I am just gonna put it together myself and then ship it off to TRA for their super sexy hot blueing.

My goal is to keep the total build cost under $1,100 and I think (depending on price of small parts engraving, I might just squeak by within my margins.

it's looking good! The light might be a little too bright. That algae is coming back.

I've been running it full power but some of the corals started bleaching and not opening, so I started running on half power and they're opening again but I've only been doing it a few days so far...
