Looks like Beretta and it's owned subsidiaries have been importing weapons into Russia for some time now against sanctions through various loopholes. If accurate, seems pretty damning for Beretta, it would be one thing if they were coming in on the black market, but it sounds like Beretta is the a majority holder of the Russian company doing much of the importing, and are working with companies in connection to a well known arms dealer.



Be interesting to see if more details are made available.

Mods, if this is in the wrong forum section, please advise/move this thread.

Been a customer for almost 14 years now with AimSurplus, never had a bad interaction or experience prior to this year, albeit I only order from them 1-2 times a year.

Aimsurplus was notified multiple times that my order had not left the origin USPS center. After about 3 weeks past the estimated delivery date, I let them know that I still did not receive my order again. I contacted USPS, which verified that Aimsurplus had already received the claim and that they were refunded completely for their loss as a company. With me still being out of my money, I requested a chargeback via my credit card company. Aimsurplus was notified again, stating that USPS had refunded them completely confirming with me via email and Aimsurplus failed to contact me again letting me know that the issue was resolved. Aimsurplus feebly responded that since USPS resolved the claim and gave their company a full refund, they would "Send me a replacement." They then noticed that I performed a chargeback an entire month after the failed delivery, and told me that I was a customer they would not do business with again because I did a chargeback rather than "giving them a heads-up that I was about to request a chargeback." They continued to gaslight me like I was in the wrong, despite them failing to deliver my order for over a month and stated that chargebacks cost them more money -- even though they failed to resolve the issue prior to then.

Anyone else had a poor customer service interaction with this company?

T6A Elite 700 SA with KMW bottom metal. Stock is bedded for 700 SA, but I have run my Terminus and an Origin in it with no problem because there is no bedding in front of the recoil lug. Can run a 1.2 straight profile in it. Comes with 419 rail and all associated parts for it. Weighs right a 4 pounds as configured. Currently has suede padding on cheek piece that will peel off no problem.

Hear me out...

I know all the high end 22LR out there will shoot exceptionally well, however a lot of that ammo starts to approach .223 ammo prices. I'm wondering which ammo are people using on the cheaper side that performs well.

I was running the black box Norma Tac-22 and it was fantastic. <10 SD, <1" consistant grouping at 50 yards, but the new red box stuff isn't quiet as good. The SDs are great, but the groupings are very inconsistent.

So is there anything out there that ppl are getting decent results without spending >.30/rnd?

TL;dr Running out of black box tac-22, need suggestions on low cost stuff to try.

Great scope. Includes everything it sold with plus the MKM insert to eliminate the locking elevation turret.

No issues, tracks correct. Good to go.

$2200 shipped.

Saw this on on Gunbroker, Apparently someone's objective was a bit large.

What causes it ?

The Collider ?

Or Mass Psychosis

On February 7, 2024, Hawaii’s Supreme Court issued a decision saying that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen (2022) does not surpass Hawaii’s constitution, which recognizes “no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public.”

The decision came in Hawaii v. Wilson, a case in which Wilson is seeking recognition of his right to carry a gun in public for self-defense without first acquiring a permit from the state.

Hawaii’s Supreme Court unanimously decided against Wilson, with Judge Todd Eddins, a Gov. David Ige (D) appointee, writing the majority opinion.

Eddins wrote, “We reject Wilson’s constitutional challenges. Conventional interpretive modalities and [Hawaii’s] historical tradition of firearm regulation rule out an individual right to keep and bear arms under the [Hawaii] Constitution.”

He then directly addressed the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, which struck down New York’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry permit issuance.

Eddins wrote, “Bruen snubs federalism principles. Still, the United States Supreme Court does not strip states of all sovereignty to pass traditional police power laws designed to protect people.”

He later added, “States retain the authority to require that individuals have a license before carrying firearms in public.”

It remains to be seen what, if any, appellate action will be taken in light of another important aspect of the Bruen decision; namely, the recognition that the Second Amendment protects a right to carry a gun outside the home for self-defense.

On June 23, 2022, Breitbart News quoted Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s majority opinion, wherein he referenced previous cases affirming the right to keep and bear arms in the home for self-defense, then turned to Bruen and said, “In this case, petitioners and respondents agree that ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense.”

The case is Hawaii v. Wilson, No. SCAP-22-0000561 in the Hawaii Supreme Court.

This is going to be interesting!

Hey all, looking for some advice. I'm new to precision rifles. Been reloading for years, but trying to improve my hand loading. I don't compete, but retired with a 200yd range on my property. Recently purchased a MPA pmr rifle. Loads of fun. In an effort to take the shooter out of the equation for load development I purchased a Sinclair competition bench rest. I need a plate for the benchrest. I see that 3" width is kinda the norm for the bench rest bags. I looked at the Sinclair bench rest adapter plate, but it is not compatible with an arca mount. Anyone have a suggestion for mounting a bench rest plate to my rifle with an arca clamp? I can get a cheap arca clamp, just need a suitable plate to affix. Thanks in advance!

This may be a dumb question, but do they make flip up scope caps that don't interfere with the focus ring on the eyepiece. I have a vortex viper PST gen 2 5-25X50 scope. All the ones I've seen press fit over the focus ring, and looks like when you need to focus you would turn the whole flip up cap.

Just a heads up/PSA... if using a mandrel with a Ti-N (gold) coating that's advertised as "not needing lube", disregard that advertisement.
Lube IS required.

This past weekend I expanded the necks on maybe 150 pieces of 6.5CM brass that had been wet tumbled and annealed. I didn't lube the necks during expansion just to see if it mattered. Yep. Expanding force was increased, and most importantly, at the end, it looked like there were streaks of galled brass running up the mandrel and it was very rough. I wrapped it in a cotton patch and hosed it down with Patchout & Accellerator and left it in the sink overnight. Patch was blue and purple the next morning, but was clean as a whistle and smooth again. Lesson learned.

No experience with the carbide versions or the "black" one from 21st Century, feel free to chime in.

Chime in with your experiences...

Nearly brand new, used on one coyote stand. I’m a leveling base guy. $385 firm TYD

This is the R lock version but works on non r lock rails fine

I listened to it all and have a few take aways... But it is probably best if you listen for yourself.

Just wondering the consensus; my first AR build i staked - maybe one other time haven’t done so to recent ones . Noticed no difference. Now my two working rifles are staked but is it necessary for a range /varmint rifle ?

I know of a very large lot of used ballistic glass. Anybody have any ideas what to do with stuff like this?

Panels vary in size from about 27"x24" (estimated weight 100 lbs each) all the way up to 46"x67" (estimated weight 450 lbs each). These windows are very thick and EXTREMELY heavy.

There are about 100 windows on ten pallets of 1,800 lbs each. Total weight is 18,000 lbs.

The stuff is used, some is cloudy, damaged, etc.
