Let’s argue/discuss- Storing cocked or not?

Who stores rifles cocked or uncocked?

Does it really help to release the tension?

I ask this in a modern day world where we went from “you shouldn't dry fire a rifle” to some rifles being dry fired more than shot

We went from not leaving magazines loaded to Magpul saying constant pressure on the spring won’t cause an issue

I know we have gun builders, armorers etc here as well as a lot of guys running guns I’m sure stored both way.

I leave mine cocked. Never had an issue. Was at my local custom shop the other day and any rifles handled were uncocked before storing

In modern times what’s the hide say?

How does the military store theirs in modern day for long periods of time? Semi and bolt platforms

Suppressors KGM R30/R30T OR TBAC MAGNUS RR

About to get my bartlein barrel back from being chambered in 6.5cm over at spr for my new lone peak fusion action and want to get a new dedicated suppressor for precision shooting. Theres really just two things that im looking for and its suppression and accuracy. I dont care about a poi shift when the suppressor is either on or off as long as the shift is repeatable. For accuracy Im wanting the suppressor to at a bare minimum keep my rifles accuracy with it on as it is when its off but am really looking for a suppressor thatll tighten up the groups and make them smaller if possible. So ive widdled the list down to two suppressor (well technically 4). The KGM
-R30
-R30T
or the TBAC
-MAGNUS (Full sized 30 cal)
-MAGNUS RR (Full sized 30 cal)
So let me know which you think will work better for a precision rifle setup for both sound and accuracy!? Or if there's a better one than these two put them in the comments.
Thanks,
Justin

The same thing happened to a bud of mine here in Bama.

Ins company called, canceled his policy, sent him a refund. Said the policy would terminate in 30 days, unless he trimmed the trees below the eave line. He called an ask for help, we cut them back/down. He took photos in & they reinstated the policy after he paid, but at a higher rate. Nothing larger than 3" was above the eaves.

The Ins companies, bankers & property investors have all gotten together to start grabbing all they can, while making sure they will own it all at some point. People with leveraged mortgages will be the first to get a real fucking, and will quickly realize eye candy or the address is totally bullshit logic. These same people will relish a shack as they call them now, vs living on the street at some point. Welcome to merica,...

DIY barrel thread on model 67 gone wrong

Bought one of the carolina annular cutter and die kits and it ain't working out for me unfortunately. Tried twice now and the suppressor is badly aligned, both times it is pointing down.

Anything im doing wrong? Feels like the pilot guides aren't a big enough diameter to keep everything aligned.

Fairly pissed at this point I spent hours doing this and am now looking at losing 3" of barrel and bringing it to a gunsmith.

Poor old 67 I should have just left her alone.

St Arbor Customs

I don't like these posts, but, look do with this information what you will. I understand that we can all have a bad experience with places and businesses or people etc etc and it's not necessarily reflective of their normal operations etc, just, heads up this is my experience.

Steer clear of St Arbor Customs.

In 2022, I was building a custom rifle for competition. I needed the stock to fit a Winchester 70 action. McMillan no longer inlet for it. There was no one in Australia at the time who could do it, so I asked McMillan and they put me into St Arbor Customs.

The bloke I spoke to is Doug. He is a very nice, friendly man. Under different circumstances I'd probably go for a beer with him. He helped me sort out the stock and even helped me with some rarer parts to add to it. Great.

I place my order in September 2022 and paid just over $2700, or somewhere in the ballpark of $1850 in USD.

Every time I reached out for an update, I was told that it'd be in the mail soon, he just has a lot of over heads and can't afford to ship it to me atm. I'm pretty sure I paid for postage in the initial quote, but I understand, he's starting a new business, i'll be a bit patient.

Then 2023 passed, then 2024 passed, all the same updates, all the same story (when I could get hold of him). It'll be posted soon, he just doesn't have the money right now.

It's now 3 years past when I ordered the stock. I've just googled "St Arbor Custom" and their website doesn't seem to exist anymore, so I guess he went out of business or something, but if it's all still going and the website is just down or something, maybe just have a look at the options you have for inletting and custom stock work.

I don't want to be a dick and LET'S ALL GRAB OUR FLAMING TORCHES AND BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN, I'm just saying, this is what happened to me, and I'm pretty annoyed by it.

I tried something on a polymer grip, magwell

I decided to try to flare a polymer grip and create an integral magwell. I wanted it to be slimmer, smoother and smaller than adding a add on well.
So what I did was make a magazine with the flare added, I then clamped it in a vise, added pressure and heat, it worked out pretty well I think. Needs some final touches but I think it worked out.

SOLD NightForce ATACR 4-20x50 Mil-C

Up for sale is a very nice example of a NF ATACR 4-20x50 Mil-C optic. The knobs show zero wear, and it's overall in excellent condition, I take good care of my stuff. It's a no bullshit reticle and I have taken it out to 1100y with perfect, and I mean dead nuts tracking. Glass is 100% and in my collection of NF optics I think this is the clearest glass. I will stand by the tracking, glass, and overall condition of this optic. No scuff, scrapes, dings, dents, lite ring marks but if you see them your eyes are better than mine. Used two or three times, once at range, then out to distance. Comes with box, caps, and all the stuff theses ship with.

No lo ballers and no nigerian princes. Sorry no trades.

$2300 shipped.

Thanks for looking.

SOLD WTS - Lapua Center X. 1 lot left

Message me directly if interested. I will not initiate a message with you asking for payment. Do not let the scammers win.


These two lots were from two rifles that I had tested at the Lapua test center. Both rifles have found new homes, so selling the ammo.

At present, not willing to split the entire lots up. Look at pictures for lot numbers. If you want all of it, I would discuss a discount for taking the full 10 bricks.

6 bricks $ SOLD shipped (tested in my Anschutz, hence the A in market)

4 bricks - $SOLD shipped (tested in my Rimx, hence the R)

Would do face to face within an hour of Nashville. I also will be shooting the X Match at Boaz, KY, on 9/13.

Sen. Jerry Nadler (NY) is not seeking re-election in 2026

This, per Newsmax this morning.

I'd love to see more of his type "retire,' but the question is are we talking "frying pan ---> Fire" scenarios? Could whoever succeeds him be even worse? I can't believe he'd retire if there was any concern that a GOP Senator could actually flip the seat. Look at Sen. Feinstein.

Edit: Apparently, neither will Sen. Joni Ernst. Hmmmmmm.....
