@dddoo7 Sadly, the mirror is a scary place for far too many. It requires self discovery, self love, and some times a lot of work to get truly comfortable with oneself. Sadly, far too many avoid it. This simple rule sure brings about a lot of amazing things though, I wish more would take on the challenge.

Seige of Jadotsville on Netflix is pretty good, from the little research I did it stayed pretty true to actual events, certainly didn’t paint the UN in a good light.

I have dealt with a lot of gunsmiths some good some sucked.but Travis made the custom build experience very pleasant.He answered his phone and emails and was honest about time frames.When I have more custom work done he will be doing it for me. Im not surprised that he is doing so good. God Bless Ya Travis

Which specific act of ignorance found in that article are you referring to? I see about 10 of them, starting with the declaration of emergency.

In general I avoid "QD" anything ... as "QD" usually adds weight for no benefit. How many people with "QD" mounts actually regularly remove those items or attach those items .. in the field ? :D Somehow I wound up with both m-lok and k-mod ... and then some guns have integral attach points ... so I use all flavors ...

@rhyno I saw more of the press conference this morning and the chief did mention the people killed. They actually found some unaccounted for heroin in that chief investigators vehicle and this is the second time this guy had a suspicious arrest gone bad. Lots of unanswered questions surrounding this ordeal.

I don’t know if it’s a good sling as I don’t use it a whole lot but I have a magpul 2 point sling on my ar15 that allows that even for my fat ass. I think it’s the MS1 padded sling.

I like the shelf for the index finger.

@bigfoot Range day today. Windy and misty rain but warm, like 70 degrees warm. It was real and it was fun, but not real fun. Gonna sleep on it. Glad I have some new brass.

@orkan said in McMillan A6: Why do they need to put that damn butthook on EVERY DAMN STOCK THEY MAKE!?!?!? I randomly came across this picture right after TS customs finished up my build on one! No butt-hook-DOH! Don't know when it was released, but maybe on the next one. I wish Mcmillan would have had it listed on the website a little more clearly as an option. The A10 looks like a nice option for the kiddo's too.

I shall trust in God for all of my days.

I did try off the tripod (RRS), it was digging down and sliding, back mostly, in the mud, similar to the bipod. And it looks like RRS also has claws and spikes, similar to Atlas. Rear bag or pack does sound like it makes sense in some cases. == Ok, I think I will start by trying a set of claws on one Atlas and I have a commanche bag I can try under the forearm as well. == This week we are going from 4 up to 40 like over the next several days ... so thawing then freezing ... thawing then freezing ... slippery soup versus rock hard ...

@bigfoot Went space age this weekend. I installed digital scales on the old gal. I'm anxious to see how long these cheap things last. They measure right with the dial and with an indicator but refresh really slow. Nothing like the ones we had in the shop I worked in. Can't expect much for a little over a hundred busks for both of them. I wouldn't mind having one set up on my planer and shaper for woodworking if they could take the dust. I had one on my table saw and it died pretty fast. With the guard on Tiny readouts

I think it is important, so I repeat it frequently, to remind, especially the "gunners" ... that our right to self defense does not come from the Constitution. Our right to own weapons is not derived from the Constitution. Our right to "keep and bear arms" is not granted by the Constitution. These are inherent rights. The words in the Constitution attempt to protect the people's right to keep and bear arms ... from government restriction. If the government allows itself to ignore the Constitution, the people need to pay attention to such actions and consider remedies. Ultimately the people must protect the Constitution. We cannot rely 100% on the government to do that for us. The people that "run" things have too many enticements to behave otherwise.

Imagine how much people would freak out if this was in the US.

@flatwound In a nutshell, yes. Taken further, you can spec the neck diameter you prefer. No bushing to mess things up.

All the guns are mine except the 6.5CM(24) which is a buddies. The 6.5CM can’t quite reach the performance of the .300WM(24) … but the 155gr can’t quite reach the 6.5CM either … but note I’m using 20 and 22 inch barrels and the 6.55CM is a 24 inch. Comparing the 175gr to the 155gr: The 175gr seems to win on price ($1.00 per round) availability (I can get FGMM 7.62 175gr from multiple sources anytime I want) and energy (about 13% more than the 155gr at 900yds. The 155gr seems to win on droppage, windage and velocity. It is almost capable of supporting the statement “The 155gr bullet turns a .308WIN into a 6.5CM ” 😀 But price and availability are not small issues for me !!! The 13% energy difference is not significant for me. I see a hornady “mil spec” load of the 155gr for $1.20 per round, but had to search hard to get any … I see another hornady load of an “AMAX – Palma” 155gr … for $1.25 but have not been able to get any of those get. I tried a “double tap” load of the 155gr TMK .. the bullet has the higher BC .. but alas the load SD was HIGH. Black Hills has a load for the 155gr TMK, but the shown price for those is $2.00 per round, which rules them out. I have two bolt guns and the question before me is whether I should switch one of them to a 155gr bullet. I do not reload (time a.k.a. priorities) … but I seem to keep finding situations that might make me do it … and maybe this one will … I finally found a buddy who I think can walk me through the process .. if I decide I have to do it. == Right now my use case for all my RIFLEs (center fire weapons with barrel lengths 16 and above) is dots and groups - 80% of live fires wind practice (500yds, 750yds and 1,050yds on my land) - 15% of live fires hunting/critter control - 5% of live fires

Interestingly enough, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez showed how we can get more pro gun people in and start swinging the Republicans towards constitutionalists.

Back on the .260 again. I shot some 95 grain VMax loads for a change using three different powders. I don't think the guy that developed this caliber had his mind on lighter bullets but like they say if you got em', smoke em'. None of these really were what I would call horrible maybe this cheap barrel is made for lighter stuff. I have a couple of 130 and 120 grain loads I am going to pursue and hope I hit something with Varget that I can live with. I have an excess of that stuff. I shot some Blackout also. I have a Wilson Combat barreled Spikes upper I switch out on a Colt lower with a Burris MTac 1-4 scope with a donut reticle for optics on it. Pretty much stock with a CMC trigger and I shot suppressed through a SRT Shadow can at 100 yards. I loaded 4227, 110, 296 and Lil Gun. Lil Gun took the trophy and the W 296 right behind it. With that optic the groups were inside 2" at 100 shot off of a bipod at a moderate rate of fire. Not quite up to Rambo speed just steady. The brass all landed in the same spot and no failures and no pressure signs on any of the primers. There are so many loads out there for Blackout I just go to the middle of the book charges and start there. I shoot mostly subs so I don't really give a ratsass about the rest of it. Any way, pictures. The BLC2 group one got away from me, way away and I did it twice. I had a Harris bipod that kept coming loose but that's been fixed. I mounted a short rail section on the bottom of the stock to attach a different style bipod. Blackout ( I shot V Max and Z Max both were the same )

I went digital with the primer tool last week. I ordered a new indicator with some skinny probes to get inside the primer pockets to measure their depth and also measure the actual primer depth after seating. Of course the probes are smaller than the flash holes so I made a 4mm sleeve for the pointed one to measure pocket depth and made it just long enough for the point to barely enter the hole. A slight modification had to made for the zeroing tool with a center drill and turned the other end to the correct diameter to enter the recess of the base for corresponding types of brass. To measure the primer depth I install the non pointed small probe. I also made a stand for it but it can still be used without it and actually seems easier to work that way. The slightest movement of the case makes the display shift and using both hands helps keep the case tight against the base. I have been measuring pocket depth on new brass and hardly any are showing much error. Sometimes the half thousands will flash and and at the worst maybe a thousands. Like I said any movement or tilting of the brass will show up on the digital readout even though it's a relatively inexpensive one. Fired brass is a different story. It gets bent up regardless of what it's fired in. This is about as far as I'm taking this project. Pocket Probe Primer Probe

I instinctively level. The level in my head is more precise than any instrument I've tried. Works just as good at night with thermal as does during the day. Firearm familiarity is a must.

This is a great explanation.

I really like it. No zero shift from stock to chassis, excellent cheek weld, rode rear bag really well. The grip is real comfortable and the stock has a thumb shelf machined in. Action/barrel sits perfectly centered; I added a magpul m-lok for the Atlas. Recoil felt more linear than the stock it was in. I shot it with 2 different mags, a .308 AICS (used like a Bob sled for single shot) and a .223 Accurate mag (AICS). These required a slight mod to fit the Howa. Not sure if required for the other footprints. The MDT .223 mags are BO, these should fit without modification.

There is no "I" in humble.
