Dear WLS

  • plowguydave – So I have a Browning X Bolt in .300wm. I had it threaded a few years ago but since the barrel profile is so thin, it’s threaded 1/2×28. Most 30 cal cans are threaded 5/8×24 so I’d have to run a thread adapter for a can. Would you a) use a thread adapter and affix it in a permanent/semi-permanent fashion, b) purchase a 30 cal can able to accept a 1/2×28 thread pattern, or c) get an aftermarket barrel with a heavier profile that is cut for 5/8×24? Use case is long range plinking and hunting. Barrel length is 24″ if that matters. If it doesn’t, then fuck me I guess. 

  • Kermit Thee Frog – “I’m looking at upgrading the scope on my 6.5 Grendel that I primarily used for blacktail hunting, but i’m recently getting into more mid and long range shooting at 300-1100 yards so far with it and thinking about trying out the Swampfox Warhawk 3-15. C_DOES on YouTube did a really good review of the 2-10 variant but I haven’t been able to find much information on the 3-15. I’m concerned that the glass quality may be good enough for 10x but falls apart when pushed to 15x. Have any of you had any hands on experience with this optic and what are your thoughts on it? I’m also looking at the Athlon Ares BTR gen 3 but leaning more towards the Swampfox because of the price and it has locking turrets. Thanks gents.”

  • Jack B – As I’m sure you guys are aware, the Earth’s magnetic poles are about to shift and it will cause cataclysmic floods and tectonic shifts. Most experts expect the landmasses to liquefy and move everything to the opposite side of the world in a matter of hours. My question for you is, what’s your loadout for this event? What will be the best gun to use to shoot the magnetic poles and liquified earth to keep your self and your loved ones safe? Or, if it doesn’t work, what gun will make me look coolest to the archeologists who dig me up in 20,000 years.

  • Nicholas J – “Hey guys, first off love the show! One of the very few podcast I actually get excited to listen too. Second, I’ve been having an ejection issue with my AR where when fired the bolt will stay in the forward position and it’s almost like the round is stuck in the chamber, even an unfired round and a dummy round get stuck to the point I have to take a punch hammer to the charging handle to get it out. What are your thoughts? Again love the show and love what yawl do!”

  • Bradley C – Dear WLS
    • With the recent abatement of the NFA tax, and the further conversation surrounding the complete repeal of the NFA, have any 2A space influencers considered the implication of a full repeal, nation wide? As much as many of us in the 2A sphere hoped for it’s demise in the BBB, the State level consequences could be detrimental. Let me explain:
    • In the State of Oregon, and I believe there are twelve other States, with the full repeal of the NFA Federally, it would cost us the ability to own, possess, or purchase NFA items. As, at least here in Oregon, they are only able to be in existence, because the NFA is a de facto registry. At this time, Oregon does not have its own requirement to register firearms, but with the implementation of Measure 114 (still tied up in the courts) and the QUEEN Governor having just signed SB 243, the noose is tightening around the firearms owner’s neck.
    • Anyway, it is my belief, that the tax was dropped to zero dollars and the NFA maintained to allow these 13 +/- States the ability to keep those NFA items, as ATF maintains their de facto registry.
    • I’m really interested your thoughts and insights on this. Yes Jeremy, I agree with you, Oregon needs to pull their heads out, and quit being a dumpster fire State.

  • DukeOfCrude – Hey fam! As I have been doom scrolling on the toilet lately, I have noticed more and more incidents involving p320s and accidental body piercings. I know this has probably hooked my algorithm to continue to show me these videos and articles, but this has also began to change my perception of SIG as a company. I know the p365 is a different platform and is not exactly comparable to the p320, but SIG as a business really has me doubting my comfort in carrying its products. Have ya ll had similar feelings about the issue? Either SIG is too prideful to fix the issue or is too retarded to understand what is causing it. Am I being a boomer in throwing SIG on the short bus with Taurus, bear creek, and Jimenez? Thanks for the laughs! Duke- No notes

  • Mike E – Hey GuysJust bought an echelon and, just emailed Mischief machine to see when there grip modules will be back in stock. I have a Gideon valor mini on my p365. Would like to put the valor mini on my echelon. Two questions, do you know when the full size valor will be released, and should I wait for it to come out, or just put the mini on the echelon?Thanks You guys are great. Mike
