Battle Arms Development

Ah! A fellow padentic. Cheers!
🙂
I confess, I make a living as a gunwriter and 2A political writer. Since transitioning to this career, my tendency to be even more critical of the words I use, read, or hear hasn't helped the situation. Thankfully, my wife is patient and has a knack for placating me as I think out loud. Either that or she's good at muting me while looking like she is paying attention. Good for her.

Accessories WTT McMillan ELR Hunter Rem 700 SA, Hawkins Bottom Metal for Foldable HNT 26 with ARCA

Like the title says looking to turn my light weight 16” 6Creed into an even lighter weight smaller package. My McMillan is in great shape I’d say like new been fielded maybe 3 times for about 60 rounds. It’s ranger green, has ARCA and picatinny with Hawkins Bottom Metal. Looking for a like new HNT 26 rem 700 SA folder with ARCA in any color, can add some cash but new prices aren’t that far apart.

Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know which kind the new Seekins rifles use? I hope it's the AI system and not the Curtis.

Thanks for the explanation by the way, it was very good.
Thanks. I do not know what Seekins uses now. At one point they had a bolt rifle with an aluminum receiver that was using a barrel extension to carry the loads much like an AR10.

Maybe “point load” isn’t perfect, but with the apposing 60* threads, the mechanism being compressed into the side of the thread is pushing forward on the tenon as it is pulling it back. I do not feel the tenon in an AWMC is loaded in tension due to the locking mechanism.
I get what you're saying, but with respect, your concept is incorrect here. There's an air gap clearance in the threads, which is why you can screw them together with only running torque. When you bottom the shoulder to the face of the action this closes the air gap on only one side of the thread and opens it further on the other side. The screw closes down the pitch diameter in the localized area and this drives axial load (tension) into the joint because the shoulders are butted against each other.

If there was not a shoulder reference in place then your argument would be valid and it would just be contact friction holding the joint in place.

If they were doing something proprietary then maybe, but most of them aren’t.
Oh, I absolutely expect this to be the case. By the way, I think I used proprietary incorrectly here. I didn't mean it necessarily to mean that it is by their own spec or design that they own. For instance, I have always had great experiences with BCM rifles and have always wanted to know what they use. They keep their sources tight-lipped for their own reasons, but I don't think my description of proprietary is really accurate in that sense. Maybe I'm being pedantic. In any event, yeah, I agree.

Taxes abolished? Watch and grapple your mind around this by Govinda Tidball

We’ve been conditioned over the last century to believe one “Immutable Truth” — that there are only two certainties in life: Death & Taxes.

Even thinking about not being subject to monopolistic legalized theft (taxation) makes us quiver in fear. Now that everything is automated, and most wage slaves never even see the money stolen from their weekly paycheck, you’ll never see any appreciable revolt or backlash.

Most of us can’t be bothered. We “participate” without participating.

Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

Fun story.

I used to run about 30-35ft/lbs barrel torque, in the range where you could use your feet to hold the butt stock and a clamp on barrel vise to pop the barrel off without putting it into a fixture. Never had any issues with accuracy or otherwise.

One day I adjusted my muzzle brake with a crescent wrench, loosened and tightened it a couple times to get it lined up correctly. Then later that week I shot a one-day PRS club match. I won the club match, cleaning the last stage, tossed my rifle in the bag and drove home.

When I got home to clean the gun I looked and the muzzle brake was crooked. I thought... Well darn, I tightened that. How did it come loose? I reach to grab the muzzle brake and it turns out the brake was tight but the whole darn barrel was loose.

Now I run about 75 fl/lb. :)

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

One wouldn’t think so BUT the assclown that shot Trump and killed the Marime firefighter - just rolled into a campaign event with rifle and range finder , climbed up on a roof and walked around for half an hour - all on “the fly” with 0 plan for exfoliating.

Please note the sarcasm in the above statement.

Regarding Kirk's assassination, It's been reported that the FBI was notified AFTER THE SHOOTING that in the days/week before the event someone was on the roof of that building. The report says the individual closely matched Tyler Robinson's appearance: tall, skinny, dark hair, dark clothing with cap, backpack, etc. This person was up on the roof and appeared to be looking down at the courtyard where Kirk was shot. This was corroborated by more than one individual, including a professor at the school, who witnessed it. They say they didn't report it beforehand though.
