From the Desk of John Rourke – November 14th, 2017

Written by

Watched a documentary on Netflix showing several people on election day in November of 2016.

It’s interesting the cross-section of people all around the country from all different backgrounds. The absolute true beliefs their candidate is the right one. What is also very interesting are the reasons that people stated they were supporting Hillary – versus Trump.This documentary seemed to be very balanced in their coverage of people. Good job.

The Trump supporters mention policies and beliefs – with specifics. The Hillary supporters talk about how bad Trump is. That’s it.

The name of the documentary is “11/8/2016”.

So I put the chicken in the oven and red potatoes on the stove. I finally sit down in front of the Chromebook to work….and wifey sends a text that she picked up KFC.

Hmmmm……..

My Franklin Binary Trigger should arrive today. Need to decide what I will install it in. New build or a current one.

I love a good documentary but try to avoid political ones because I just get mad and/or discouraged — but from what you’ve said, I think I will have to give 11/8/2016 a look!

Really? You went with a Franklin instead of an Echo?

I have really enjoyed my Franklin Binary’s. I have never tried the Echo, though I would like to. I have both the Gen II and Gen III Franklin’s, but the Gen III is a lighter more crisp feeling trigger. I am waiting to try the Franklin in an MP5 to see how it cycles too. I for one much prefer the Binary to a full auto in almost every instance, with the exception being the 12 year old girl giggles it can give a burly old man to do a mag dump. May not be cost effective but does put a grin on your face.

I am putting a Franklin on an AR-10 to see how that works. The only advice I have for you is when you put the trigger group pin in, have your receiver laying on something to keep it stable so it wont rock, then line up your pin with the slave pin that comes with the trigger assembly, and try to push it through in one firm tap of the hammer. If the assembly comes apart, you will have to put the little springs and such back together first, which while doable, is tedious.

Plan B. “Look, I made dinner for tomorrow night. We can re-heat it. Now you get two nights off from cooking. Why? Because I’m thankful for all the other million meals you make and you to have a break” 😉

  Gotta be careful with that ruse. If she see’s thru it, you will have to start explaining and then she’ll want to know what you’re covering up.
