I planted one in the hopes it would be a good late season apple. We'll see.

Is it clay?

There's not much use for THAAD against drones. I'd be watching whatever companies can give us drone swarm systems. I'm watching news to see which drone producers partner with Palantir.

It's a terrible idea, but it wouldn't surprise me. Both parties are bonkers these days. I can't tell if MAGA is really about making America great or just a rallying slogan for Trump supporters. Vance is losing popularity, and it doesn't look like he's a suitable candidate for president, but...

England, Spain, and Germany are circling the drain. Italy, too. France has potential still, but I don't think they're ready yet. In the bright side, we get a new president in about 3 years, so maybe we'll go back to mending fences with allies and putting the screws ro our enemies...

INTL is kicking butt. I'm hoping the military is going to start buying piles and piles.of chips from them.

It's not about isolating Europe. They will just turn to other countries. We saw how Germany sold its soul to Russia. The Europeans aren't above turning to China and even Iran if they feel they need to. Poland and Scandinavia are in Europe. There's no way to pry them out of that alliance...

They'll just move the facilities deeper. We don't want to get into an arms race with Iran.

That's nothing new, but the conflict has shown we have a lot of gaps to fill in our military now. We literally copied the Iranian drones. And their cheap drones are exhausting our expensive interceptors. Not sure what we are going to do about it, but I hope it's soon.

Well if the ceasefire holds and the war ends with the status quo, then this war has strategically been an abject failure for the United States. Russia is getting richer. Iran is getting richer. Iran and Russia are still producing drones with Chinese parts. Our Middle Eastern allies have...

I'm seeing on some forums people are finding them in small numbers. Looks like local microclimates. I'm hoping the big flush holds off til May, but I'm not counting on it.

You might be best off buying a complete upper. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-rifle-length-5-56-nato-1-7-stainless-steel-15-lightweight-m-lok-upper-with-bcg-charging-handle.html

Ok i will try it. The density are high up, but I can bring an aluminum ladder. I was hoping to use something that wouldn't keep the wood ducks away, but first priority is reduce the raccoons.

What parts are you missing. I just built one and tried to price everything super cheap because it's just a range toy. There are some deal out there as long as you don't need tungsten.

Do you have some specific dates? Or at least approximate? Bass fishing is killer in certain places when the season opens. Lake trout gets relatively consistent in July. Are you wanting to fish shield lakes? Great lakes? Ontario is huge, and there are essentially unlimited opportunities...
