A while back California banned standard capacity magazines with no grandfather clause. California gun owners fought back and are now on our second trip to the Supreme Court to find out whether it is constitutional to ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The Supreme Court chickened out on the Snopes case a few months ago on "assault weapons" in Maryland and we are about to see if the court is also comfortable with magazine bans and confiscations.

Vudoo V22 360 22LR RH V3 Barreled Action, 20” Kukri, 20MOA, w/ 1 Vudoo plastic 10 rnd mag, w/ 1 Vudoo bolt assembly/disassembly tool, w/ 1 Vudoo bore guide…$1950 shipped, not including the pictured trigger. The barrel was custom selected and slugged for accuracy (as per the receipt).

The gun is in excellent condition with about 2500 rounds fired. I am the original buyer, and everything was puchased directly from Vudoo. I bought this gun in 2021 with the intent of starting NRL22, but I ended up having two back surgeries shortly afterwards. I’m having another surgery shortly and decided to sell the rifle.

The Triggertech Diamond II-Stage in the photo is available for an extra $250. Also, the rifle just came back from “Lapua Ammo-Camp”, so the buyer has the option to acquire the full, unopened case of ammo that tested the best…Midas+ Lot M11. The case of Midas+ is $2350 shipped lower 48’s, to your FFL.

The gun shoots far better than I can. I included the Lapua test-target and a couple of my better 50-yd targets. Local pickup (NH) is welcome if you want to save the shipping (shipping sucks!), and/or test fire the rifle in person.

If you’re not in the NH area, I’d be happy to have a dealer of your choice examine the firearm on your behalf before the purchase. The barreled action as above, is $1950 shipped, my FFL to your FFL, lower 48’s, insurance is extra. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Well guys, after the announcement of the Kuna, I got pretty excited at the price point. Picked one up, love the gun, it shoots amazing until...
Stove piping, then stove pipe again. I look down and a spring is sitting there with the brass case. The ejector is completely missing.

I call Springfield, they were nice. Obviously, sent in the bolt and 3 weeks later its back with a new ejector. Mind you it has maybe 45 rounds through it total.

Take it out yesterday, 14 rounds in, ejector is sitting on the ground in pieces... now it has a broken ejector again. WTF! I'm pissed and let SA know that. Off to SA goes the bolt again, I told them I want a new bolt and not just an ejector assembly. What a disappointment

It looks like the EPA has ended its stupid regs requiring diesel exhaust fluid. If you are not familiar with this in a nutshell you had to put a fluid in your "exhaust" to make it cleaner. Looks like this is being reversed and the software to hobble the engine can now be charged to allow full power if no exhaust fluid is present.



Hopefully CAFE will be removed and we can get back to smaller trucks and cars that get better fuel mileage. My 1990 F150 was parked next to a Ford Maverick. The modern small truck is larger than my old full sized

Way back in 2017 , before “all the good ones” left or were forced out .

They wanted to question Isaiah about his brothers whereabouts and possible connection to a shooting , Isiah ran away- and Sacramento PD officer Villicruz shot the unarmed teen in the back of the head.

They marveled at the “good shot “ and waited serval minutes to call for medical attention, and even handcuffed him while his brain was on the ground - in case an unarmed kid was still dangerous.

Instead of treating it like a murder - almost 8 years of legal wrangling resulted in a near $5 million dollar settlement to the family. But deemed the shooting justified I guess they were afraid of a young kid they wanted to question about someone else .

Ok, I recognize that the answer is better fundamentals, full stop.

But this is what I see.

Go to any range, see a bunch of AR15s on the line, and for most of the shooters it is all they can do to put their rounds inside a 12" diameter target center at 100 yards. It doesn't seem to matter whether they are shooting scoped rifles, red dots, iron sights.

So, better fundamentals and move on to the next thread on the Hide.

But the same range will have a bunch of bolt rifle shooters and most of them are inside a 5" diameter target center. Many of these guys are shooting light rigs for hunting, using heavier calibers, and still manage to shoot inside 5". And many of them will put maybe 50 rounds down range all year, 45 rounds in practice and 5 to take down whatever they have a tag for.

Is the AR problem light weight? Wouldn't seem obvious given lighter recoil and many have muzzle brakes.
Heavy trigger? A 3 lb trigger isn't exactly heavy lifting but hand position and trigger pull weight might make a difference.
Hand position and style of grip? Again influencing trigger pull.
AR being fussy about the ammunition it likes to shoot?
Benches at most ranges put the shooter in an incorrect position with respect to recoil?

Am I just going to the one range where everyone is terrible at executing a proper shot?

There are millions of AR15s in the US, but not millions of good shooters of AR15s.

It doesn't make sense to me. Curious whether anyone has thoughts to suggest about this.

Carrying on with my previous "having a great day" thread... I give you the thread of otherwise insignificant things that just make your day... Doesn't even need to make sense to anyone else... just some ridiculous thing that makes you happy. This will all but certainly piss all the/my haters off too... which brings me to my #1 actually (of course I'll start this off).

1. Living my "best life" and knowing it aggravates others for no reason other than my mood is not being dictated by what they want. Truth be told "best life" is a ridiculous phrase (at least in my opinion) that's a "hashtag" now. All I'm saying is haters are going to hate but they'll never hate harder than they will when they realize you just frankly don't care what they think. Something magical about feeling good & knowing that it's pissing the haters off even more am I right?

2. Moving back to more mundane things- for the life of me one of my most absolute favorite things is going to bed when the sheets have been freshly washed. I've struggled with sleep issues for many years but that first night in clean sheets... I can't explain it but it just hits harder than any Ambien I've taken.

3. That "new gun day" feeling. Not sure how others operate but for me I've always been one to analyze the crap out of various models to pick the one specific configuration I want & then to chase it with trying to find a good deal. If you're anything like me, you have a list of guns you want & a price tag you've mentally allocated to spend and it's awesome when the stars line up and you got that new chunk of steel in your collection.

4. This might be oddly specific to me but I've shared here my exploration in automatic watches over the past year. I've been evaluating a half dozen or so lately and I've gotten great satisfaction out of wearing 'em & learning their accuracy. I thought I was having an issue with a Seiko diver I recently purchased and was concerned that I somehow screwed up the date/day mechanism because it's apparently a "thing" to set it during a certain window of time (which I didn't) but I spent the past week not being able to sync the current time with the day & date. Whelp- the past two days (I'm not even sure what I did 'right') my one diver is now running accurate (+8-10 seconds a day) but more importantly the day of the week and the actual date are now synchronized and that has me much happier than it rightfully should.

5. On the way to work yesterday there was a trivia question on the radio on what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia was and I knew (not guessed) but actually knew it was the fear of long words. The look my wife gave me when I said that was priceless and made me feel... well young again, almost like when we first started dating and everything was new & you were impressive in what you knew & could do.

6. Wrapping up for at least the first post- but as an example of thins that don't cost a thing- when your spouse gives you that look of surprise (I almost think it gets better the older you get because you see it less & less) but "that" look of when you both surprise & impress them... damn if that doesn't make my day.

Well fellas, I finally succumbed to the allure of the silver screen. For all those with Model 29's because of the Dirty Harry movies, all the members here that own Beretta 92's because of the Lethal Weapon or Die Hard movies, etc etc... I too have joined your ranks of purchasing a firearm for no reason other than I saw it in a movie and just thought it was cool as could be...

Without further ado- I present the Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70!





I'm justifying this as my "much needed"... "bear gun" but really I saw it in a Jurassic Park movie some years back and Marlin's marketing just knew how to hook me... here's what I'm talking about/explain the post title...





All that said- I've been smitten with this particular rifle for some years. Of course Remington owned Marlin for the majority of the times that I would seldom run into this model in one of my LGS and it was always... something. The pic rail wasn't aligned straight, the stock was poorly fit with huge gaps between it & the receiver, one particular model I remember the front sight post being mounted severely canted... ugh it seemed every chance I had to purchase this particular model there was something noticeably unacceptable (and not some sort of cosmetic nitpick).

Well you know the story- Remington (or at least their holding company went bankrupt)... Marlin was one of the brands that was liquidated and Ruger purchased them. And this particular model all but disappeared from the market for a spell... but was also one of the first Ruger Marlins to be brought back...

And there was some incredible scrutiny & anticipation on what Ruger would do with the Marlin brand and no shortage of critics to nitpick the bejesus out of the 1895 SBL. Well... in my opinion at least Ruger knocked it out of the park with their improvements, increase in quality/consistency etc... but the one huge 'problem' often raised was the MSRP seemed to just about double when it was brought back.

Now this likely is twice the rifle as compared to the Remington owned Marlins that I was able to see but.... yeah it's not a $1,600+ rifle either which is what they were going for (when you could find them).

Well I caught an email from a somewhat familiar online retailer that they not only had this model in stock but they were liquidating it at prices not seen since before the whole Remington/Ruger handoff...thing I'll call it. So... I bought it.

I'm just getting her cleaned up tonight but from what I can see thus far- the build is exactly as one would expect it to be. I'm avoiding calling it 'perfect' but dang if the Remington models I kept running into just didn't have some rather severe quality issues.

Like I said- my own fantasies aside- I really have no practical need for this rifle but I just think it's cool as hell and am super stoked that I finally got one for myself and at what I believe to be a reasonable price. Granted- I'm probably going to buy another couple hundred dollars in fine leather goods to "dress it up" a little bit to a proper leather gun but I really do need to start looking for reasonably priced 45-70 ammo since this is a new caliber I've added to the stable.

Anywho, thought I'd share.

Where a “bad cop” was selling guns to gangs - In an effort to show case that weapons from evidence and “buy backs programs “ ended up at crime scenes at an alarming rate ?

Guess these guys watched it one to many times . Gun from police custody to hands of 16 year old murderer . Surly it was an accident.

Ok, So Im pretty new to loading rifle ammo. Just recently loaded up some 223 rounds for the Ar using Tac. I did some different charges around the lower end of the chart. All rounds loaded function fine and sense its just blaster ammo the accuracy was fine for what its being used for as well. My issue was the ES was 120 fps. I know tac isnt very temp stable but that seems like alot of variance. Im also in AZ so the morning temps were around 78 and midday 101.

What might I be missing thats causing the ES to be so high?
Im using FL sizing die with 21st mandrel about .002 tension with a slight crimp after seating because I was getting some bullet movement when charging rounds.

Loading on a dillon 650 using dillon powder drop.

Im trying to get better at loading these before I try and load some 77gr OTM's

Thanks in advance for any help
