One blackhole of entertainment after another

I read the thread on the German knife attack and then read a suggested jewel by @TheGerman about parade follies, then I delve into another suggestion by @supercorndogs and then about 5 others and I still haven't finished the unread post I came here to see.

I’ve got this Masterpiece Arms Matrix in 6mm GT I need to get rid of. All specs will be listed below. The current barrel has around 2,200 rounds on it and I placed 15th in the last competitionI shot with it(Alabama Precision June Shooters Challenge and it has not been fired since). I’d assume the current barrel has another 800 rounds or so left on it. I do have a brand new barrel with it that has never been mounted. I am willing to split some of this up to get it gone.

Anyone using center x with a vudoo 360 having issues of unfired rounds not extracting?

~1400 rounds through the barrel. No issues before the last few matches. No borescope, I’d drive myself nuts with it but I’m VERY diligent with cleaning the chamber/letting it soak with boretech carbon remover.

Anyone had it develop? Firing the round it extracts. Only center x fed. No other ammo.

Edit to add: I hadn’t been timing out with a round in the chamber previously. Shooting on a range (non matches) I never found myself trying to extract an u fired round.

Vudoo said it may be the result of a dull reamer when finishing the barrel. Offered to touch it up and reassured it’s a quick fix. I’ve been happy with the way it’s shooting so am going to hold off for now where I’m doing the NRL22 matches every month.

UPDATE 8/30/24 with some borescope video and a pic:
Video shows entering the chamber up to the lands and circled around. Looks like a small carbon ring. Not sure about all the other cracking / etc.

Up for sale is my V4 auto trickler with FX-120i scale. Also has upgraded white panels and inner powder tray. Will also include area 419 master funnel kit.

Works perfect, just don’t shoot competitively anymore. I had this setup and with the new software update it worked amazing and was very fast and accurate. Software update was huge upgrade to the V4.

Looking to sell some barrels and stocks from my days at the Remington custom shop and Dakota Arms.

Barrels are all contoured blanks other than the AR barrel.

Stocks are mostly Remington 700, there are a couple model seven stocks on there too.

Open to offers or trades.

So I finally took the wife to the range, and showed her the 10ish guns I have built this year. She took it better than I would have thought. In fact, as we’re driving home from the range, she said, “Can we build me a rifle?”

Completely shocked, of course I said yes. I already had most of the parts in the cabinet. I told her she would have to pick out and order her own optic though, and that we would have to go to the store where I pick up most of the parts I forget to order so she could pick out what stock, grip, etc. she likes.

The kicker is, she wanted it purple. Immediately I thought of Aero’s anodized “purple” (which let’s be honest it’s fuchsia bordering on hot pink), and was already cringing. But she hated that as much as I did, so I went to O’Reilly’s, and bought a can of Chrysler Plum Crazy Purple engine paint. For my first rattle can job, it turned out better than I could have imagined.

But it’s a .223 Wylde (solely because I didn’t have one - I wish I had done 6 ARC or 6.5 Grendel now), 16” Faxon barrel, Aero stripped upper, Anderson stripped lower, Aero handguard, Geissele parts kits, Aero adjustable gas block and tube, Radian BCG and charging handle, Triggger Tech 3lb single stage trigger, full ambi controls (she’s right handed but shoots left eye dominant, I figured better safe than sorry), Geissele double spring and tube, H2 weight, Magpul’s MOE grip and Magpul’s version of the SOPMOD (I forget what it’s called). She had shot all my rifles, so she experienced my Strike Eagles, ACOG, Eotech 512 with G45 magnifier, etc., and chose the Arken Optic LPVO, the same optic I put on my 8.6BLk build. It shoots great. Even more so considering I had her do most of the build and only jumped in on stuff she had trouble with.

Picture below - please be gentle… In full disclosure, I wish I had painted the buffer tube and the dust cover as well, then get rid of the Lancer magwell, but she likes it as is.

I had to send my little rescue dog Koki over the camo bridge yesterday- he was 13.5 yrs old and 12 lbs of pure loyalty and joy. Because he was about 8.5 years old when we got him, I didn't change his name, just the spelling from the native Puerto Rican "Coqui". He was suffering from liver failure- too much rum before we rescued him? Don't know.

I'm gonna miss the little guy... To anyone who ever lost a pet- the best way to cope is to stomp a leftist?

To all the pets ever passed- an endless supply of treats and clean water!

This is Koki at about 8.5 YO, on Independence Day 2019:

Have you noticed a significant drop in reliability of the Usps? Strange tracking updates of a package out for delivery, then suddenly goiing to

XLR Envy Pro with C6 buttstock. Comes with the Pro PRS competition kit, bag rider, thumb shelf and a the XLR folder. Has camo cerekote with magpul green, vortex bronze and black. Only used the chassis in one one day PRS match. Going back to a traditional stock style for my PRS setup. $1300 shipped

I wonder how many others are out there that he got away with doing this to. I guess his story is going to be that it was an asset forfeiture and he forgot to do the paperwork and turn in the money.

What are you guys mainly using for elr matches like nightforce steel challenge krg elr light class ect....

I'm using a krg whiskey 3 gen 6 chassis but I'm trying to build another rifle and looking at other chassis and stocks. I like my chassis no issues but looking at something else

I've looked at
matrix pro 2
Xlr Envy pro c6
Manners t4a stock
F.A.S.T chassis
Mcmillian


I've just looked at them online no place for me to really go try or in person type of thing. But just looking at what others are running. Also of you guys have experience with those chassis or anything similar.

I now have a decent amount of cans and almost all are on the YHM phantom mount set up. They lock up well and if you know how to adjust the bottom spring loaded part on the brake they all lock up fully with zero movement, so not an issue there as some have had complaints about....

That said, at this point, I won't be swapping them around much. The plan is to not swap at all, so I'm trying to decide if I want to:

1 . Direct thread all or most(only concern here is carbon build up and getting them off for cleaning, my crown , ect)

2. Switch to a new mount and brake set up. (Pretty much gonna cost me $1.5-2k

3. Direct thread most AND switch mounts on some others where it makes sense.

4. Just get a few more phantom hub mounts and call it a day.

It looks like the Q stuff or Reardon with cherry bomb brake is ideal as I always shoot suppressed. I'm not concerned about having a good brake other than what it could do for me when the suppressor is on it.(ie take the abuse, help suppressor, ect)

Thanks

just mindless chatter. seems like DVDs are terminally ill,like CDs. people are streaming,whatever that entails. actually buying DVDs is cheaper if you can find what you like. at the few pawn shops that still have them,$1 or less. same with flea markets. went to a sorta lg.market last weekend and there were easily 100K strung all over. mostly junk that nobody ever saw. but volume for sure. interestingly in both markets i have been in lately,there has been 1 guy that organizes by letter,subject,title. 1 of those guys knew an unbelievable amount about the format,movies and history of same. found a few been looking for x 2yr.
do you think they might "come back" in 10-20 years like vinyl,which is hot in some places around?

I went to the range to try do a comparison between a recently received PTR Vent 2 and DA Mojave, but instead, I got caught up figuring out which host I liked more: a DIY CMMG radial delayed upper and a MEAN Arms upper. (Turns out, at least this trip, the CMMG...)

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else has a small fan in their range bag? Ive found this one does a great job of cooling off a hot, just-used suppressor and so I don't have to wait as long to pack up.

Bought this new back in the 90's. Probably has 50 rounds down it, and half of those dropped whitetail out in Tennessee cornfields. I replaced the original wood stock with a synthetic that has a recoil pad at some point. Comes with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40, Leupold base and rings . I only rifle hunt elk nowadays so this guy will sit in the safe until I die if I don't sell it.

Target shows the last time I shot it (with core-loct's so old they had a $4.79 price tag on the box). I think the low shot was a fouling round. I think the 1 inch group on the black target to the right was with an old box of hornady frontier (I was plinking with some old half-boxes of ammo I found cleaning out my grandpa's house). It just shoots fine with whatever you put through it.

$850 to your FFL or $700 for the rifle only.

I'm a big fan of Mark's rifles. I'm not a big fan of Mark. He's blocked me on every platform he's been on at least once.

My Large Frame Larues (OBRs and PredatOBRs) shoot stupid well. My PredatOBR is the last gas gun I'd sell. If this new MRGG is anything like the rest of my LaRues, it'll be an amazing rifle.

With that said . . . . I noticed some "spin". They say that the MRGG rifle was ". . . . submitted for use by SOCOM." Yeah. . . ok. But to my knowledge it wasn't picked up by them, so associating it with SOCOM seems a little . . . misleading.

This looks to incorporate the same type of torque wrench that was included with the siete instead of just a "manual" wrench that has come with the PredatOBRs.

In today's world, $4750 isn't a terrible price, but it's still a lot of cash for a rifle.

I think I'd be tempted to put an FDE A2 on it.

It also looks like Mark Fingar didn't do the photos. I'd bet about $50 that mark took all but the first one with his phone.
