DEAR WLS
Question from JackB from TX
On double tap 451 Nick said he would know he was successful when he ordered a custom double rifle. I always say something similar, which is if I win the lottery I’m telling no one, but there would be signs. Like the sudden acquisition of a custom double rifle.My first question is, if the cast were going to order custom double rifles, what caliber would you choose? If Shawn wants to make H&H invent a 171 WLS for him, that’s dope, but what would your second choice be?
Followup question to help me choose my caliber. If I got one, I’d want one of the classic elephant gun Calibers. I love 45-70 but it just wouldn seem right. So of those old safari calibers which ones have milder recoil and are still somewhat commercially available?

Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut
From: Jaqin Ta’Sox: Dear WLS
In double tap 451 at 19:58 minutes, someone asks about deadly force against a bull horn to the ear. I understand an ass whoopin is absolutely due in that situation, BUT I find it kind of interesting. Like Jerambey said, it is permanent bodily harm. Just like if someone tries to use a laser pointer to blind you, deadly force is a go, but not for permanent hearing loss?
Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas
What is the best way to form 1 a homemade suppressor? Looking at mostly finger printing that can be reused. But also looking at design requirements like length and such.
Question from Duke from Texas
Duke of CrudeSo I was crusing Armslist looking for some travel guns and came across a mosin nagant for $495.
I had an epiphany over that post. What if the mosin was worth the same but inflation was just so terrible that now a $95 dollar gun in 2002 is $495 dollars today?
Just some food for thought before AI takes over.
Thanks for the laughs!

Question from Anonymous Coward from Washington
Shawn has been on a geeky mission for a while. I am wondering if he can geek out and make a universal shopping cart that using his web crawler A/I skills could check multiple sites to see if products are available from one source. Example I am ordering some area 419 products, a few CZ mags and a kydex cheek riser. I am bound to pay shipping from 3 separate sites. I am trying to see if there is one source carrying what I need.
Keep up the good work Shawn getting deeper back into his tech roots but staying a gun guy at heart is bringing rewards for all of us.

Edgar Sherman Design Notch Precision Shooting Bag
Shooting bags don't exactly get a lot of innovation press.The category has been dominated by the same handful of designs for years, and for good reason: a well-executed bag filled with the right material and wrapped in grippy fabric solves most problems a precision shooter will ever encounter on a stage or in the field.New entrants that bring something genuinely different to that conversation are rare enough to be worth paying attention to when they show up.
Edgar Sherman Design released the Notch Precision Shooting Bag, a convertible front/rear support bag featuring a four-way stretch woven core that deforms for micro-adjustments, wrapped in a Cordura laminate exoskeleton with MOLLE cutouts. It incorporates a V-shaped notch formed by tie-down loops for rifle stock capture and lateral stability, PVC-coated grip surfaces, an elastic retention loop, and Spexlite 5125 fill. The bag is made in the USA, Berry compliant on select versions, weighs 8.5 oz, and measures 3 × 4.5 × 8.75 inches.
