Here's the link to the GB Item on our website. It goes live on May 1 at 10am.
I'll push it on social media as well but I wanted it to be easy to find here too.

https://patriotvalleyarms.com/osprey-6mm-prefit-group-buy-all-actions/

We moved the shop in January and in the tornado of activity that is a shop move we stuffed a whole batch of 6mm blanks in a dark corner and forgot where it was. When I couldn't find them we quickly made another batch knowing that at some point they would surface and we'd have a bunch of 6mm blanks.

That happened on Friday. Turns out they were in a crate at the pile of crates and pallets that each of us thought we had already looked through. Lo and behold... We have 98 extra 6mm blanks. (It was 100 but Ben just told me he's keeping 2 for himself)

So, rather than dribble them out here and there Ben suggested we run a Group Buy for the Hide at 15% off on 6mm options. The only way this works is to focus on a few calibers and streamline the process and do them all at once. So, that being said: Is there interest in it to make an endeavor worth it?

It would be any of our standard tenons on the everyday list with the following calibers, contours and finish lengths.
Calibers:
6 BR
6 BRA
6Dasher
6 GT
6XC (0.150 FB with Tubb print circa 2016, not 22-250 brass print)
6x47 Lapua
6 Creed
6 PRC (I doubt this is going to be all that popular but we have a 6 PRC reamer that Ben really wants an excuse to use)

Contours:
Bartlein 3B
Brux #5
Light/Medium/Heavy Palma
M24
MTU
Proof Comp

Muzzles:
No Threads
5/8-24

Flutes:
None, Spiral or Straight

Lengths:
18/20/22/24/26

I talked to Evans Customs and they're willing to offer a 15% discount on cerakote too.

If we do it, the GB will open on May 1st and run for 7 days (or when the 100 blanks run out). Lead time is 4 weeks from close of the GB, add 2 for cerakote and/or fluting.

So there, a prefit at 15% off and turn time of 4 weeks.

Have a set of dies and this box of bullets. $40 shipped

Shot at close range by friendly fire, no other members of his Ranger team wounded, details kept secret and muddled.

Was there a 'code red' ordered by his CO because of his supposed political stance? WTF happened?

Anyway, RIP Ranger.

Anyone had luck CZ USA web Shop - Ordered on 4/7 stock items, showed processing for a couple of weeks and now just showing processing.

No response to emails

When I Call I get wait time 30min plus if lucky and told to go online for live chat which doesn't work as the bot doesn't connect you with anyone. and Tells you to send an email or call

So an endless loop.

Thank you for entertaining my first post. I've decided to start my first build with the intention of coming as close to a "do all" gun as possible; for this reason I chosen a Terminus Zeus QC SA. I've also decided on an ESS chassis for a decent modularity to weight ratio.

Here are the boxes I want the rifle to check:
-shoot .223 for training on a budget (out to 500M for now)
-shoot .308 for hunting and longer range target shooting
-shoot 300 BLK subs (solely for fun).

I need input on what optic to purchase for (ideally all of) these tasks. My current preference is finding a used ATACR 4-16 in MRAD. I don't *think* I'll be under-scoped in North Carolina. Additionally, the turrets and lack of tunneling on this particular model are appealing. Please let me know of other optics I ought to be considering as well as any other general input.

Thank you,

9ball

Looking for cost effective and quiet. Also, what caliber? Thanks.

but imply its those people that want to do it. Stay frosty and as always its not who shoots first, but who connects first, that normally wins.

Considering “brightness” of an optic is an aspect of critique when evaluating optics, why then shoot with sunglasses and not clear lenses? What are your thoughts?

What many have warned about over the years, but were just called alarmist, crazy, ect.

Found this posted on a Facebook group

Basically stating Solar Panels are deflecting massive amounts of heat that would otherwise be absorbed which in turn disrupts the local weather

These were in a parts lot I ended up with. I am going to sell them and wanted to verify what actions they went to before listing. Looks like a Mauser possibly? Appreciate any help!

I have a manners with a mini chassis, Hawkkns bottom metal and adjustable cheek piece. I want to trade for an MDT ACC. Might consider an XLR magnesium or MPA
It for a 700 short action or clone

Used, but in excellent condition. Made one trip to the range to bang steel for an afternoon, The MDT ACC is without a doubt a high-quality piece of gear. I just prefer the feel of a more traditional stock. So selling the ACC chassis in hopes that someone will give it a good home. $1200 shipped. CONUS only.

Looking to move my Razor Gen III 6-36 Mil scope sitting in an Arc M-Brace (34mm,1.50in, 30MOA) mount, and Vortex throw lever. I bought this to use as a backup, but it’d just been sitting unused ever since. Was mounted and shot 20 rounds through the rifle when I first got it, otherwise in Like New condition. Comes with the scope box.

$2,400

I know this is a little ways away from twist rate, caliber, etc but I would appreciate any guidance on replacement shocks for a 2006 Dodge 3500 dually.

The last two sets I have purchased haven't lasted more than30-40k miles and that seems low to me. One set was what a dealer put on and the other was an "oem" style shock from one of the local parts stores.

The truck gets used pulling trailers and getting loaded down with all sorts of stuff in the bed so its not a princess. I dont need a plush ride so something on the more capable side would be better. There is one of those big steel "deer catcher" bumpers on the front which adds a lot of weight.

Thoughts?

Like I said a rant of shit breaking all at once in the spring on a small farm.

Chainsaw -broken
Tiller- broken
Weed whips as in plural- broken
Tractor- broken
Mower- broken
Power washer - broken

Some of this shit is close to the end of service life , I do t think any of the stuff is that serious, it’ll just take time and money to figure it all out and fix it . Time is short now and money is never what it should be.
Shit just don’t last like it should used to or like it should .
Fuck Shit Damn
Rant over - for now .

I don't normally post public service announcements. But this is an easy fix.

In the what are you listening to thread, I posted a song from Firehouse. The singer, 64 year old CJ Snare, passed away recently. The lady of his love of a lifetime revealed that he had been struggling with a Stage 4 colon cancer. No doubt, he was always working and wouldn't take the time to get himself checked. Seriously, Firehouse is always working and will play anywhere at anytime.

Colon cancer is the most easily detectable and preventable of the cancers. Because of my age, (I just turned 60) my doctor had me do a colonoscopy for a colon cancer study he was doing and my age made me a profile fit. And it was covered by my insurance. First, I did the cologuard, shipping shit through the mail. Then the procedure. They found 4 polyps, all benign and removed them.

When I had woken up in my day room, the doctor brought me water and coffee and asked me if I had any questions.

I asked, "Did you find Jimmy Hoffa?"

Without batting an eye or even a snicker, he said, "No, we did not."

Guys, get yourself checked. It does not have to end like this.

And get with your doctor about having your PSA tested. Prostate cancer no longer relies on the finger test. Why check? My wife's favorite singer, Dan Fogelberg, passed away in his 50s from prostate cancer. Again, always working, not getting himself checked.

Leveled rifle, used a Fix_It Stix scope jack to make scope parallel to rifle. Hung a plumb bob and reticle is canted to left using the flashlight method. Used my Send-It level to double check rifle level and bottom of scope. All was good. But reticle still canted anything I may have missed?
Gun is a never shot Ruger Precision Rifle and the scope is a Athlon Cronus with Burris XTR rings.

Please educate me.

In various Hide threads on so-called tactical lever action rifles ("cowboy tactical"), I've seen negative comments about Mr. Costa. I'm an old guy, old enough to have trained with Jeff Cooper when Gunsite was nought but a couple of prefab buildings, and the Sconce not even a gleam in his eye. There are many legitimate teachers, younger than I, whom I don't know.

Anyway, most of the stuff I think I know about Mr. Costa comes from when he was with MagPul in Colorado, when he had what I took to be a favorable reputation. I know that he was absent from the scene for a while, perhaps mysteriously, and that he's now emerged again into the ambit of training and firearms use expertise. I see that he likes leverguns, that in Dallas he's done at least one how-to-run-a-lever-action-in-a-fight class, that he espouses some techniques with such long guns that I've not seen elsewhere but seem reasonable, and that he's endorsing some of Ranger Point Precision's levergun parts and accessories...or that they've made stuff to his specs.

Whence cometh the dislike? I don't care about Mr. Costas one way or another particularly. But I'm interested in training and trainers, having known and been taught by some of the old masters. I'm always ready to learn. So...what's what, gentlemen?

Cheers and salaams,

it is now fixable.

Kinda interesting- LA riots - Iran contra, crack/ gang wars

Says guns came often from police even military.
Drugs often can from DEA .

Very interesting that after being involved in armed robberies; drive by shootings and drug dealing he went to be a correctional officer and then a street cop- and then back to the gang life .

I can picture the conversation in the halls of power.

The Democrats-“ there’s this very large well organized gang in LA, we could make a buck and hasten the fall of the republic by giving them guns and drugs .

The Republicans -“ only if we can send them to prison after we are done using them.”

Motion passed unanimously!
