thinking of putting one on an older A bolt for range use only ,any thing to look for /stay away from ?

Abdi Yusuf Hassan was arrested in Minneapolis in 2019 after he became a naturalized U.S. citizen.

This is wrong in so many ways.

First off, if this is somehow in the wrong place, my apologies. Mods, please move elsewhere if appropriate. Thanks.

Beginning to study suppressors for my Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor. Range gun. Is there such a thing as a suppressor, I suppose .30 cal, in a $ range of 500 to 700 or so that someone could recommend? I’m a real neophyte at this and it seems really complicated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Howdy Hide,

Figured this is the best forum to post this in. First things first- I'm a big fan of Glocks and own a bunch of 'em and bought a new one as recently as last week. Just to illustrate that point, below is a picture that I've shared here of my collection of Glocks chambered in 45...




Hopefully that serves to illustrate that I'm a fan of their product and not bashing them. That said, I did have to use their customer service/warranty recently and just wanted to share my experience with the Hide and hope that it may be of some help to others down the line if they too find themselves going down a similar path and find this thread through a search. Bottom line up front, I'm neither miffed nor impressed with how things worked out, but rather somewhere in the underwhelmed/indifferent mindset after bringing this effort to a conclusion as of today.

To start with- I should begin where all good stories begin, at the beginning and what started this exchange. I have a G19.3 purchased NIB in 2009 and the pistol has been an absolute rockstar ever since I owned it. I don't mean to overestimate the round count but after 15 years, I'd say that it likely is in the ballpark of 10K rounds. All factory ammunition using brands such as S&B, WWB, UMC, Blazer, Magtech, etc. There was about 1-2K rounds of NATO spec ammo and maybe 500 rounds of +P. I know that I've replaced the recoil spring at least twice (so minimum of 3 OEM recoil springs since owning it NIB).

So with that said- I'm a bit on the neurotic side when it comes to cleaning my firearms, doesn't matter if I put 50 or 500 rounds through it, it just bothers me to go to bed with a 'dirty' pistol. Well about 2-3 years or so ago, I was cleaning the pistol and noticed that there was a chip on the outside of the barrel with what appeared to be a hairline fracture that went from the chip all the way to the 12 o'clock position of the barrel. Truth be told, I already had a backup G19 so I took the Gen 3 out of rotation figuring I'd bring it to a GSSF match and have an armorer look at it for free but between COVID, work, and life, what was supposed to be a pause intended to only be a couple of months turned into years and this year I finally had the craps of having a pistol on the sideline for so long and decided to reach out to Glock's customer service.

Before I get too far, I know the pictures aren't of the greatest quality but I'll throw the pictures of the issue I'm describing here below-




Since I know it's not the best quality, I'll also throw in a crudely edited picture of the area in question...




Not sure if it'll come through but as members here are well aware, this is the part of the firearm subjected to tens of thousands of PSI each and every time a round is fired during normal operation so naturally I was concerned about metallurgical issues at this point which is what caused me to seek Glock's opinion on the matter.

Alrighty, this post is getting long so I'll end it hear and pick it up in a subsequent post.

The current system shows how many "likes" someone has been given. I have noticed that some members have never "liked" another post but seem to collect many.

Maybe both could be shown or just a ratio?

Brand new in the box TT 5-25x56 with jtac reticle. Only opened to finger, never been mounted or outside the house. I can take more pictures if needed.

Knights armament 16” keymod mod 3 upper. 3.1 phosphate bolt. Got this on a trade, it will pass as test fired, almost new. Rail cover, pic section and hand stop included. Surefire muzzle brake included. No irons. $1075 shipped insured. Obro

Definitely not M40, but this looks like an early HTG ADL Smear. I have no immediate build in mind, so it will get shelved for now. I can sell off the 40X BA and Zeiss scope to recover some of my outlay. I have no interest in BR rifles or 6MM PPC. I don’t think I’ll ever know when this was built, but clearly the early 40X had a previous life.

It’s being shipped to my FFL. Once I have it in hand, I’ll separate the action from the stock. Hopefully, it’s not glued tight. My only real concern is if the bolt handle cutout will fit a 700 swept handle without too much work. Gun store guy thought it was a poorly done homemade camo job.
















Enjoy the pics,

Is Lindy still here on the Hide?

Fuck you Nikki... You were Never Trumper until you thought he could win... and then kissed his ass right through victory...

Now are upset that he is not giving your RINO ass some kind of big position in the administration?

Kiss all our asses you POS RINO. You flip-flopped more than some hippies in birkenstocks... and expect to be take seriously?

Fuck you bitch. Stay out in the cold and be lucky you aren't gonna get prosecuted for complicity in destroying America.

I’ve been on this site since ‘09 iirc. Shooting since too long ago.

Lot of changes taking place. One that I notice is pre fit barrels. Seems no action is acceptable unless it accepts pre fits.
Has anyone compared accuracy of pre fits vs top notch custom work?
Are they equal or just “good enough”?
Would Tony Boyer compete with a pre fit or would @Terry Cross build a rifle that way? Would @Frank Green prefer a custom barreled rifle to one built as a pre fit?

Not looking for one off one group antidotes but real scientific testing.

Figured I'd post something gun related for a change.

I know, I know..
But this is a cool story about a custom spur maker that was in a recent scene and died before it aired.

Senator Cornyn now states he defintetly wats to see ethics report on Matt Gatez. I am betting he doesnt pass the nomination cause of this guy Cornyn,Collins ,Murtowski and probably McConnell too.Plus every Dem will vote no.

I love boxing and MMA. Anyone watching the fight, tomorrow night?
Like Tyson said, Jake Paul is a manufactured, paper killer. Mike Tyson is a real, natural born killer. Jake Paul is going to get busted up and hurt... bad.

Didnt know where else to put this but Ishipped out a bit of Ammo yesterday at UPS. They have a big sign up saying that "effective 17 November" the regional office will be closing. I asked the guy behind the desk about that (since you have to take the ammo to the regional location and not just a UPS store) and he told me that a lot of them are closing. I dont know if thats just in this area (SW Oklahoma) but if its nationwide, thats going to pretty much screw up all private ammo sales/shipping.

Anyone else able to add to this?

If there's a better place for it mods, please move.

Introduction

Shooting bags have become increasingly popular across shooting disciplines, not only in those where they have traditionally been used as support for rifle on various positions, but also in areas where they were once less common. This growth in use reflects broader changes in the disciplines, where adjustments in rifle weight and support equipment are being made to improve hit percentage on smaller and smaller targets under decreasing par times each year. As these equipment adjustments evolve, so do the preferences and applications. Now that options are coming out for various fill and bag weights I wanted to get in and take a look at how changing the bag fill affected my shooting with various rifles. To accomplish this...
