Moving this to its own thread, 16 time Funny Car champion and winner of 157 races, John Force is said to be improving.

However, the report from John Force Racing is that he has been moved to Neurological ICU for an unspecified head injury. It has been widely reported that he was responsive when he was taken to the hospital after the accident. However, again, Michael Schumacher, 7 time Formula 1 World Champion was also responsive and talking when he was loaded into the Medivac helicopter following his ski accident. He was basically placed in a medically induced coma and has never recovered, remaining a total physical and mental invalid

Thus saying, having worked with closed head injuries on many patients in my working life, this has the ring of something very serious. Like him, hate him or could care less about him, like everyone else who has ever suffered a head injury, he needs our prayers

For all of you watch guys: when would you actually use a tachymeter?

And let's get it out of the way up front: yes, what prompted the question is that I have the option to buy a watch at a good price, which happens to have a tachymeter. No, not looking for "purchase confirmation", but genuinely interested in their use.

I've read up on how tachymeters are used, and I'm not sure that I'd ever be in a position with a known start and finish point for a set distance to measure speed.

I'm also pretty sure that if I was able to travel at a consistent rate of speed in a car, then I'd know how far I've travelled. If I'm in my own car, I figure it's going to have a speedometer and an odometer.

Timing cars racing around a track isn't a functional use for me. The best I've read online is of people checking their speedometers if they think they're broken, or perhaps got new tires.

Is there any functional use for a tachymeter? I've seen military imagery/iconography used in ads to sell watches with them - is there a functional use in military contexts?

Sure, cellphones are used as arguments against all kinds of "old tech" and we don't need to point that out here (I still like slide rules, and can usually turn to a page in a diary faster than colleagues can look up electronic calendars). I'm even interested in what might have been genuine late 1800s/early 1900s use for a tachy that could apply now - or some kind of future grid-down/TEOTWAWKI/Red Dawn/Terminator scenario uses, figuring this would be a timepiece I'd hand down to my son.

So ... what functional use does a tachymeter have? Have you ever used one, and for what? What can you imagine using one for?

For sale is my AI AT LE. It started life as a regular AT but was fitted with an AX stock by the previous owner (I’m the second), that in combination with the 16.5” 308 barrel are why I refer to it as an AT “LE”.

Final note, rifle was painted by the previous owner, however I spent hours paint stripping it tediously by hand, it’s hard to tell it ever was rattle canned. Skins are brand new as well (pale brown, like the stock).

•Receiver/bolt round count is roughly 4k

•Proof 16.5” 308 SS barrel with a round count around 1,200. Grouping sub MOA with IMI 175gr OTM.

•Included is the rifle, one AW magazine, and an AI spigot adapter (installed).

Asking $4,400. I’m local to Las Vegas, but I’m happy to ship to your FFL if they accept private transfers.

I have 0 feedback here but over 170 on Tacswap where you can find this ad. Feel free to reach out here or on IG @DimDesertNights.

*Also have a Spuhr SP-4002C for sale!*

Once upon a time Remington sold their 700s with two holes drilled and tapped into the side of the action to allow customers to mount peep sights.

I'm hoping to find a print showing the locations and dimensions of these holes so that I can have them installed on other Rem 700 footprint actions.

I know it's a total shot in the dark here but nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

sold the rifle - but have these new barrels I had purchased from eurooptic. the first is a (SOLD) 26" sage green 6.5 cm tube with 5/8-24 threading . the second is a 24" black 308 barrel also threaded. looking for $500 each plus $35 for shipping. thanks

I was attempting to buy a spacer kit for some AW mags when I got contacted by the user Nevadamarine. I asked for pictures of the kits he was trying to sell me and he sent me the below with his username.




This picture is photoshopped which he stole from the below thread:


I thought the placement of the note in his picture looked a little suspect and I found that guys thread within 5 minutes.

either way - don't do business with the guy.

About 10 years ago I started saving spent primers as they recycle too. I think it's about time I do the recycle part. How many primers do you think there are in the containers? The black jugs are full too. I have 3 five gallon buckets of range brass to recycle also.

I've been saying for more than 20 years that "Doctors without Borders" is basically a terrorist support organization and that its 'efforts' do little more than prop up corrupt socialist governments and terrorist organizations.

"Oh no... they are such good people," Ba ba ba ba.... say the idiots.

No.... they are activist pieces of shit and what they are 'advocating' has been nothing short of supporting terrorists. In some cases their "we know no borders" 'colleagues' have been members of (or agents for) foreign intelligence services. And terrorists themselves.


Since one of them just got kak'd by Israel... because he was actively fighting for Hamas... suddenly there is some proof out there. Yes, Mr. "Dr. Livingston wannabe" was a member of Islamic Jihad (supported by Iran). And worked extensively on the Hamas rocket program -- actively building rockets. He was an active and practicing... terrorist. Not a doctor. Not without borders (except his stated goal of wanting to destroy Israel's borders... ) He was a terrorist.

Oh and "Doctor?" He was a physical therapist. Yeah, you need a lot of those in front line hospitals... And in terrorist militia HQ units organizing... missile strikes.

Doctors without Borders is a criminal terrorist front organization... and needs to be not only shut down, but their leadership treated like the terror-supporters they are.

Kudos to the sawbones who are putting themselves in the line of fire to help people through 'legitimate' means. But if they sign on with Doctors Without Borders... they have gone from Healer to Terrorist... period.

Which barrel would you guys go with? Not too concerned with weight but a more balanced/light weight barrel would be nice.

Currently looking at WOA SPR barrel but wanting other options. $3xx is the budget I'm putting on this barrel.

Main goal is 77gr accuracy medium range 100-400 yards.

I have been using a Hornady OAL gauge to find distance to the lands in support of selecting seating depth.

Although it is often criticized, I found that in taking a series of measurements with the OAL gauge, it quickly became apparent which of those few that were outliers (mostly stopping at some initial resistance and not really getting to the lands) vs those that were a set of very consistent measurements which are valid and useful.

Many of you are far more experienced in popping your bolts apart may choose to use the Alex Wheeler method (vid on his website)


Greg Dykstra of Primal Rights has a video on a similar process to Mr. Wheeler's

But, I don't routinely take my bolts apart (probably should gain some experience with this) and as said, the OAL gauge seemed to work fairly consistently with a bit of practice.

But I just got a pre-fit barrel back and with it new and in hand (i.e. not screwed into an action), I thought it would be a good opportunity to compare the results of OAL gauge measurements with the method Cal of Precision Rifle Blog attributes to Mark Gordon of Short Action Custom (but maybe there were other earlier advocates of this method).

That vid can be found below but basically you drop a sized case into the chamber of a barrel with bullet seated long, give the base of the cartridge a couple of taps, then see if you can extract it easily using just the nail on your pinky finger. Now, of course it will be obvious when the bullet is seated very long to start as the base will be proud of the chamber. But once you get close and the case pretty much looks flush at a glance, then this pinky thing works well. Just keep increasing seating depth until you can drop the case in, give it a couple of light taps, and easily extract it with your small finger nail and can do this three times in a row (just for higher degree of validation, IMO).

That vid is here:

So, a few days ago I did both OAL and the "Mark Gordon" method and found very consistent results with both and only .004" difference in results in the two methods.

Perhaps for some types of competition (e.g. bench rest), .004" is significant, but its not to me. Not when we can easily burn the throat back .003" or more per 100 rounds. So, I'd be fine with the OAL results but with a prefit I don't think I'd have any issue with pulling the barrel and redoing the Gordon method as some significant number of rounds down the tube.

So, I'm going with the figure from the Gordon method (and by the by, I did it well more than 3 times and found it generated highly consistent results.

For most of you experts this is like reloading kindergarten but I enjoyed this little experiment and perhaps it will be valuable to to new and/or less experts shooters.

Consider it a public service message!

Cheers

A close family member of mine has a Ruger 10/22 that they put a Kidd barrel on and a KRG Bravo on (at my suggestion). I don't know why, but they clean it after every range trip (maybe 50 rounds when they go). I don't know what happened but they stripped out the action screw in the receiver... before they buy another receiver, is this one salvageable?

It seems to me the best option is to ream this out and tap it for the next size up, but I realize that would change the torque value needed when installing it in the Bravo. Does anyone know how to compute the new torque value needed? Also, what is the recommended torque value that KRG suggests? I don't own a 10/22 and this family member has lost the documentation.

They asked me about using a Helicoil, but I didn't think that was a great idea as this 10/22 is used for "precision" and didn't think a Helicoil was the best option for that.

Anyone have any thoughts on it before he buys another receiver?

I honestly think the best option is to buy another receiver and use that with the Kidd barrel and Bravo chassis, then tap this receiver out for the next size up, slap the factory barrel and stock on it and have a 2nd rifle (10/22 in stock form).

So the facts are out and the PRS is pretending that nothing has happened by their leadership. This guy literally bullied a youth shooter and took their prize and thinks by saying sorry that his actions should be excused by the community. If this is acceptable what else happens behind closed doors.

I’m appalled that this guy is any sort of leadership position or even thinks he deserves to represent the USA for the world shoot. He should be removed from the running immediately.

People should think hard about supporting any company or organization that allows adults to bully children.

Hats off to the NRL22 for banning him. Everyone else should grab some balls and follow suit.




Now we need to add prize table security

Stating the U.S. Army backs Israel in it's war against Hamas and the gun manufacterers are just bad.

Boo fucking hoo. One more reason to avoid Austin during the music fagfest.

One year it rained and the Dillo Dirt which is Austin's hippy-cutsie name for recycled dried sewage thats used to cover the festival grounds turned back into septic sludge. The hippies rolled in shit and loved it, showing there's more than one way to catch Hepatitus in Austin.

Good morning my fellow uncle Sams misguided children. This issue has me scratching my head for real. So, to give you an overview I've been reloading for years and never experienced this. So, I'm reloading 338 Lapua, and these brass cases are on their 4th rotation of being reloaded. I didn't do anything different than all the other times I've reloaded these rounds. I clean the brass in dry media, i then remove the old primers, I anneal using the amp annealer, i then full-length size, trim, debur, seat new primers, powder drop, then seat the round. So i noticed when i full length sized, some took less effort than others, and another strange thing is then I'm using a micrometer die from Redding or another name brand which has seated the bullets perfectly previously, but when I seat the rounds some feel like it takes a normal amount of pressure to seat, and some are real easy going in, and when i measure the OAL, I get on some 2.980 which is my OAL i use, and some seat at 2.972. For the neck tension should I full length size with my bushing full length sizing die with a little smaller sized bushing die, and then run the correct mandrel die that I want to set my neck tension to get a more accurate neck tension because I'm sizing from the inside out? Also, what could possible cause my bullets to seat at different depths on a seating die that's been super accurate? Its lapua brass and Sierra HPBT 300 grains. Feels like everything is pointing to the neck tension, and neck tension has an effect on seating, but what would cause such a shift in seating depths on a micrometer die. I checked to see if anything was loose, and everything is locked down. Your thoughts?

IMHO this is the best explanation of the course of the war that i have seen. it appears to be accurate from things i know to be true from other sources.
