Knife Restoration

Found this in my father's toolbox when he passed. 12" when open. Wanted to restore it, but set it aside for a while, my dad and I never had a good relationship, he was an abusive asshole. Finally started the restoration today. Here's a before and after so far.

The scales are pretty rough...cracking, loose, so going to replace them. Friend of mine makes these, so have him doing a set for me.

When done, I plan to engrave the blade to say 'BE BETTER' as a reminder to never be like him.

WTB MissoulaZ28 - SCAMMER

MissoulaZ28 reached out to me regarding a WTB post that I have for a Larue Quad rail. He doesn’t have any activity or feedback from the last couple of years, so I was suspicious.

He sent a picture and offered to sell it for less than I was offering in my WTB post. I asked for a picture of the other side of the rail and he responded with:

The picture he provided with date and username, even though I didn’t ask for it:

Which rifle for DMR class

I’m hoping to attend my first DMR class in the coming months. I’ve had training in my prior LE career, but there was a hard line… no engagement outside of 100 yards.. so basically useless. I have several nice systems, but it appears than DMR = semi auto. Looks like most classes top out at 600-700 yards.
The first two that came to mind are my recently built 6.5 Grendel’s.
18” with NightForce NX8 2.5-20x with Geissele SDE
13.9” with Steiner T6XI 2.5-15x with Geissele SDE
Both are using Craddock RTR barrels. The 18” was sub MOA with Precision Firearms 120 Scenar L right from the start. Havent shot the 13.9” yet but will be starting load development for both shortly.
I then forgot that I also have a 16” SCAR barrel with KNS DiSCARder and KDG rail in addition to the 13” that’s stays on it. The 13” has a Trijicon Credo 1-8. I have no optic for the 16” barrel. All load development has been for 125 Controlled Chaos from the 13” barrel so I’d need to load some 169SMKs and see how they do. The SCAR has a Geissele Super Scar trigger.
Which system would you go with? If the 16” SCAR, what optic? I prefer NightForce, Steiner, and Trijicon.
I’ll pick up a Kestrel and probably the Leica laser rangefinder.

Thoughts from those with experience is greatly appreciated.

.223 Rifle Build

Hello,
Need some ideas and input on .223 rifle build. As far as the action I'm pretty open, but would like a recommendation on something with short throw like 70 degree or so so don't have to worry about scope clearance. Barrels are a plethora and would like to possibly try a CF wrapped, but planning to run a can on it and not sure about the whole chunk of weight on the end and effect on accuracy. So input on that from ppl with experience would be great. As far as stocks.... i have a few rifle with KRG chassis of different flavors and i really like them, but wanted to try something different. Is it worth exploring Manners with DBM or just stick with what I already know. Also, I know mags are also a concern, want to not have to fiddle with mags and mag catches and such to run reliably. planning to shoot mostly 77 grain OTMS, but would probably try 80s, and 90s at some point so that leaves me to twist rate to cover those bullet weights 1/7, 1/8 and such, info for that would be nice.
And yes, i did my research on the subject before someone tells me to use search function. I just want opinions on what ppl built or use and what i might have missed from my research to compare notes or update my findings.
Thank you guys in advance.

Need UPS for FX120i

Have an FX120i that will randomly start drifting. Can charge five plus cases, then I'm .04gr over an empty cup all of a sudden. If I leave the cup on it, it will continue to rise another .02gr every thirty seconds or so. On and on it rises till I zero it out. If I zero the scale after placing the cup on the scale, I can leave it there for days and it will stay at 0. Have to keep an eye on the scale as I charge and I always place the cup empty back on the scale before the next charge to make sure. Although I know what the scale says when there is no cup, and generally I can tell when things are not right. I simply do not trust it. I have only loaded 40 rounds with it.

I have tried a grounding wire, drier sheets, how I place the cup, how I look at it, how I touch the bench. I charge and trickle manually. I can slam the gate on the dispenser pretty solidly and it doesn't effect the scale. I can lean on it as heavy as I want with no effect. Bench is heavy, on industrial rubber anti vibration feet. The light above is LED. My last ditch effort is a UPS that filters the power. The outlet at the bench is on it's own breaker.

For those that have fixed drifting with a sinewave UPS, what did you get? Trying to keep this below $100.

Picture of the bench, not that I think it's going to help with the situation. Who knows.

"Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

I see a lot of postings suggesting AR failure to feed malfunctions may be because their rifle is "Over Gassed" and I really have to question this. For backdrop, I have built up and test fired in excess of 500 AR-15's, many of them with custom or wildcat cartridges, and with a myriad of barrel lengths, gas system lengths, etc., where there was no recognized or normally accepted port sizing (had to figure it out).

One of the main arguments of the failure to feed malfunction as relates to "Over Gassing" is that the bolt carrier and bolt speed is too fast.

I have yet to see "Over Gassing" as a source of a failure to feed malfunction to be a real issue for a few reasons:

1. The speed of the carrier and bolt coming forward to feed a round is almost 100% governed by the stiffness of the buffer spring and the weight of the buffer.
2. If a rifle is "Over Gassed", that may speed up the retreat of the carrier and the unlocking of the bolt out of battery, but it does not per se speed up the carrier and bolt coming forward (i.e. the buffer typically hits the back of the buffer tube and the dead plastic end of the buffer softens that strike so it's not metal to metal, but it's not a trampoline effect, nor was an AR buffer system designed to do that).
3. An AR gas system is set up to bleed off all gas immediately after the bolt opens out of battery (i.e. it blows out the vent holes in the side of the carrier) so it's not like the system holds onto excess pressure to somehow convert that into carrier or bolt speed coming forward.

I am also not a big fan of adjustable gas blocks and I have seen plenty of issues with them (taken a bunch of them off customer guns a returned them because they were a source of a problem that did no exist). First off, an adjustable gas block is of no value at all unless the rifle is over ported. All an adjustable gas block can do is cut back the amount of gas being delivered into the gas system from the port, it can never add more than can come through the port. It may have some value for someone that wants to run something like a 300 BO where they want to shoot subsonic "heavies" with a real fast powder through a can to run very quiet (ergo they have a very large port to do that), but then wants to shoot supersonic and push bullets to the max where chamber pressures are running double what they are with a subsonic loading. Even then, what I typically see is an AR cycling back hard and ejecting aggressively but that's about it.

I have probably "opened a can of worms" here with this discussion but there are other perspectives on the issue involved.
