I have been having issues with one of my Impact 737 actions. I am running mild 6.5X47 loads. After about 20 rounds, I am getting carbon on the bolt face and it won’t chamber another round. I have to take the bolt out and clean off the carbon before it will seat another round. I am shooting suppressed with a TABC Ultra 7. Has anyone run into this? It’s rather annoying and the only thing I can think of is there is a slight rough spot on the bolt face trapping the carbon. I contacted Impact and they think carbon flakes might be falling out of the suppressor, but this has happened in the horizontal position.

Anybody here in Anchorage?

My wife and I are considering a move to Anchorage. She's potentially got a great job opportunity there, and she has lots of family ties to AK. I'm also hoping my job prospects will be better there, as job opportunities for me in our current location has been absolute shit, to put it mildly.

So, who here is in Anchorage? Pros? Cons? What is the precision rifle community like up there?

I've got a new TFCT 34L.

I was going through my bookmarks. I came across a couple that were great references at one time, but they have not been updated. Which ones do you all wish would be rejuvenated?

I have a 50 gallon and a 30 gallon water heater in my crawl space. The 50 is leaking from the fittings where the inlet and outlet pvc connect to the top. Probably not a good idea to drop money into it since the water heater is 20 years old.

Looking at replacing it with a Rheem tankless. Does anyone have any experience with a tankless? Regrets? Definite yes?
thanks

Ordered a new impact 707r and 223 conversion for it to make all my barrels cross compatible. Selling the following.

Origin w/ 223 and 308 BF
24” Osprey Barrel works, m24 contour 223 barrel with 50rds down it. Cut by PVA, threaded 5/8”-24. 1-7 twist
Barrel cerakoted graphite black
Triggertech Special flat blade
1x mdt poly 223 10rd mag

Asking $1500. Optic and rings could be optionally added, but stock and supressor are not included.

Sherrif calling it an attempt.....could just be a dumbass but I doubt it.

I recent did a build with a criterion pencil 16" mid gas 223w chrome lined. Initial impressions were good, a quick borescope through the bore reviled no obvious defects. It has been shooting factory ammo noticeably better than some of my BA barrels.

The second range day out, I ended up popping several primers causing the FCG to get jammed up. Upon recovering the brass, I found 5 pieces without the primer (out of ~200 rounds), and almost all had ejector swipes. This was winchester/lake city m193. I also tried some pmc x-tac m193 and still got aggressive ejector swipes, but no popped primers (out of 50 rounds). Historically I have found the pmc x-tac to be on the lighter side (chrono 2950 out of a 16", 3120 out of a 20"). I tried this factory ammo in several other know good guns and zero issues with ejector swipes or pressure signs.

I had some really light reloads with virgin starline 556 brass that I used for the first shots in order to start burnishing out the reamer marks in the throat/lands area before making any accuracy assessments. No pressure signs using that ammo. "break in" process and zero pressure signs with that stuff. By "break in" I just mean getting a few hundred round down the barrel before making any accuracy assessments or starting load development.

other info about the new criterion build:
SOLGW BCG
adjustable gas
a5 buffer system w/A5H2, new sprinco green buffer spring

I'm wondering what to do at this point... The only obvious things I can think of is contact criterion or try a larger variety of factory ammo.

Horus 3 Reticle with Spuhr Mount: $3900

Used one time on a Desert Tech that previously had had a different optic. Zeroed, checked dope and put it back in the case.

Just now realizing that I didn't take a photo of the end of the box with the label, but it you zoom in on the last picture, you can see the model number on the sticker on the upper left side. Used one time on a Desert Tech that previously had had a different optic. Selling with the Spuhr Mount.

For a serious buyer, I will remove from the mount and take photos to show full scope body, but I think you'll get the idea of the overall near-perfect condition of the scope from the photos.

Mount is Spuhr SP-4636 which is the 20.6 MOA version made specifically for the S&B Ultra Short.

I’m not sure what to make of this - it’s not some hill folk killing deer year around for food . This is sadistic torture, and all for social media likes? Or is it a cult / witchcraft? Fucking weird

This may be long but bear with me please. Yesterday I shot a finale and on my last stage of the day my misses were all high 2 mils. This was a barricade timed stage 400 yards and 500 yards on 8” plates. Grass behind so not much for feedback as I was missing I adjusted for wind only a couple tenths and nothing for elevation. Scored zero and after spotter said I was high.
Stage before was a roof and I did well for me 8 out of 10, it was a no dial stage so I had pushed down my elevation turret before shooting that stage which I normally leave it up unlocked. After stage I lifted it then dialed zero.
Confused why I was suddenly high, after our squad finished, I laid prone and shot ten rounds out to see where on those targets or how much I was off.
At the 500 yard target I had to hold center as wind was from behind, and it was 2 mils high. That is a lot
My dope was correct, no problem there.

Got home checked torque on all screws, set screws, action, rings, rail bolts and also muzzle brake tight, no problems. Barrel looks clean and clear.

It is a Terminus Zeus QC, 6 Dasher 105 hybrid in once fired Alpha OCD , Proof prefit in an MDT ACC with gen 2 Razor HD

I’m not sure if the elevation cap had something to do with this, it is unexplainable to me.

I suppose next is take it to my range and confirm zero at 100, maybe do a test at distance with a level line adjusting elevation for each shot, ladder test I suppose?

Before the match I zeroed and it was fine.
Rifle did not get bumped or fall over that I know of after the previous roof stage.
Stage before this all was fine.
Any suggestions I thank you for any help or advice.

I've got an AR10 in 6.5 creedmoor that shoots about 1-1.25moa with Hornady 140gr ELDM. I got several cases of S&B 140gr FMJ for ultra cheap from a buddy, and my rifle only shoots about 3moa with that ammo. However, when I shoot both factory loads over a chronograph the S&B has an SD of 6-8 and the Hornady an SD of 14-16. I know SD isn't everything, but it got me thinking.

So, my question is, why not just replace the projectile on the S&B with a better projectile?

What I'm thinking is pull the projectile with a cam lok puller and then seat an ELDM in place of the old bullet. I can see the difference in bearing surface between bullets leading to pressure issues. Also, might need to run cases through a neck die to get enough neck tension to work in a semi-auto.

Has anyone here given this a try?

There's no two ways about this question- but for longtime hockey fans here I have a question about going to games of yesteryear and wondering if my memory is paying tricks on me. As a brief preamble- as "I" remember it, when I started going to hockey games decades ago- the ice rink was always... well colder and you just knew you had to dress a little warm and be wearing at least a sweatshirt while attending a game.


Fast-forward to 2024- for the first time in my life, I purchased season tickets to the local AHL team that I grew up watching (usually a game or two a year) and (1) admittedly this is a 'newish' stadium but (2) and the reason I'm asking, I would have absolutely been cooking had I worn anything other than a t-shirt at tonight's game.

I have no idea if my memory is playing tricks on me or if things just changed with how hockey rinks were maintained but danged if I don't remember having to dress warmly decades ago.

Can anyone here share their experience on hockey games and (if possible) relate that to how I remember things?

Parting ways with my Ridgeline LPR. No functional issues with it, decided to go a different direction.

I have about 340 rounds through it. Minor handling marks from use and couple spots of rubbed off anodizing on the top rail from optic mounting. There’s small marks at the end of the Arca from when Ridgeline test fired the rifle, I brought this up to them when I received it.

Comes as it does from Ridgeline aside from my swapping of the SSA-E to a SD-E and changing the grip out to a Driven Arms Co.

Asking $2800 shipped. Payment method via PayPal F&F, Venmo the equivalent way or we can discuss other options such as money order if preferred.

I’m willing to provide additional photos and information upon request as I’m aware I don’t have much history here on the Hide.

Spotted this at a local gun shop, 1903 Springfield chambered in 30-06 with a heavy barrel that would dwarf most precision rifle barrels

Manners T series stock with KMW adjustable cheek piece. Not sure on exactly what action it was originally inletted for other than some type of 700 SA clone. A defiance drops right in, big horn does as well but would need some work on the bolt handle area. Stock has been cerakoted OD green and wasn't done all that well. Stock is very functional but not a show piece, I'm gonna call it a "truck gun" special. Sendero barrel channel, bdl floor plate, pillars installed. 3.5 lbs.

I think that about sums it up. I’m not pressed to sell this. I am simply testing the waters.

I am not trying to break any of this up, nor will I. The can will be transferred to the buyer through proper ATF forms.

I have maybe 60 rounds through this. It’s been sitting in the safe. I just don’t get out to the range for leisure like I used to right now. Paint is Krylon.
