Effect of Delayed Unlocking

I know this will be a little long winded, but the details might be important on this one.

So I’ve gone down this rabbit hole before, without specifically knowing it. At the time primarily focused on the negative effects of an extremely overpassed system. At the time I was seeing abnormally large groups after adding a suppressor, which was resolved by reducing the gas via a BRT gas tube. It worked quite well, and resulted in the rifle going back to shooting as well as it did prior to adding the can. That said, I would still get random fliers (true fliers, on a 30 shot group, 28rds into 1.2”, the 2 would fly wide and increase the es to 2”) which I chalked up to me just sucking, or getting sloppy.

Fast forward, I built a new upper specifically to help reduce receiver flex/positional poi shift (which was done reasonably successfully with an Aero Enhanced upper and rail). This meant a whole new upper, and allowed to be built with an adjustable gas block this time. Long story short, new upper shoots great, gas is tuned perfectly, still getting random fliers as discussed above, so same conclusion, I must still be doing something weird to cause the fliers.

Then a buddy of mine who works in a local gunshop hits me up and is telling me about this new BCG they have from VKTR (turns out it’s exactly the same as the Leitner Wise bgc) and that I should try it out. After looking into it, their claim to fame is an altered/delayed cam path, that is supposed to unlock the bolt/extract the case 10-15% later than a standard BCG, thus keeping full pressure in the barrel longer, and extracting at lower pressures, which should reduce gas to the face running suppressed. It’s also hard chromed, and a couple other minor advantages, so I figured sure, why not. Worst case it does nothing, and I could use another BCG anyway.

Turns out, it definitely does something. The rifle went from locking back on empty to not locking back. And most interestingly to me, the fliers seem to have disappeared. It was just one group, but it’s August in AZ, so laying on the ground to shoot a group is not comfortable this time of year, and it was a 20rd group in about 2 minutes, so the rifle got quite hot. All that to say, if there were ever conditions that would justify having some fliers it was that.

Obviously I need to do some more testing, but has anyone observed anything similar? Maybe not with the Leitner Wise/VKTR cam path, but I know LMT and Surefire do something similar with a delayed cam path. Does it even make sense that delayed unlocking would have that much of an effect?

Watch how you store it!

Login to view embedded media
The above is a YouTube video showing a real-time response by Vandergrift, PA firefighters to a house where a $hitload of live ammo was being stored in the attic. Hence, the crackling sounds. Be very careful how you store your ammo in your house.

Being retired EMS, I often look at these YT videos of firefighter responses just to see how the different crews respond. . Some of the lessons learned (for homeowners) include:

1) Always know the location of the closest Fire Hydrant to your house and tell the dispatcher that so the crew doesn't have to waste time looking for it. Some crews may not have "auto-location" systems or remember all of the locations.

2) Don't park in the street, if at all possible. The apparatus may not be able to get through. Especially in urban or city areas. Where I lived in the PRNJ, it was against township ordinances to park in the street, in front of my townhouse, unless it was a quick delivery or something. The streets were more narrow anyway. Even a type 3 ambulance could not get by, let alone a std. fire engine, if blocked by a parked car.

3) If you park in the driveway outside the garage, park a few feet away from the door, so whatever's burning inside doesn't catch the car on fire. Lots of things can fall from the roof and catch the car. Also, it gives the crew some room to work in re: sawing the door down.

4) Don't expect them to get water on your burning house for at least 10-15 minutes after they arrive. It takes that long to tap the hydrant, set the main 4" line from the hydrant to the pumping engine intake and then to charge all the outgoing lines. Even longer if they don't know where the hydrant is and they have to look for one (see #1 above).

5) Stay out of the A.O. I know you want to save your house, but understand... that's not likely to happen anyway by the time the apparatus arrives and they get water on it. Let them do their jobs as best they can. Expect to have holes cut in your roof or your garage door for venting purposes. And be sure your homeowners insurance is paid up! And if there are electricity lines nearby, it's even worse as it may take at least 1/2hr or more for the power co. to cut power. If a line burns down. it's on!

6) If you live in the "sticks" where there isn't a hydrant network, consider digging a duck pond that will serve as a water source for the apparatus, if you have the space for it. Gators...Shmators! Your house is more important! If not, then they'll have to bring in "tankers" with water to feed the engines. Advise the dispatcher accordingly.

I'm sure you folks know most of this already. But these are some of the things I see as I watch these videos Searching for the hydrant is the biggest one. Know where yours is and be able to tell them.

Be safe folks!

LuckyDuck Reviews: Timex Expedition Titanium Automatic

BLUF: This watch f*cks and pushes far above its price point.

First things first- let's show what we're talking about here...

1756002094225.png


I've been screwing around with this watch for a bit now (https://timex.com/products/expedition-titanium-automatic-41mm-recycled-fabric-strap-watch-tw2v95300). Full disclosure the strap depicted is some other inexpensive Timex strap in a tan color which I just thought would be a better color match for what I was after.

That said- the spec's (and really what makes this particular Timex unique). As indicated- this is an automatic movement. Timex seems to be tightlipped on the particular movement but research suggests it to be a Miyota 8215. Nothing wrong with that by any means but it's also likely amongst the least expensive of reliable Japanese movements offered. With screwing around with this bad boy I've been rather surprised that despite the detriments of an inexpensive movement- I must have gotten a "good one" because I'm running only +5 seconds per day.

I'm partial to field watches & simple watch faces. Give me a solid hour/minute/second hand and I'm already happy- add in a date component... I'm tickled (prefer to avoid the 'cyclops' option personally). That said- the watch face here is clean- Arabic numbers, a date window and the hands having Super LumiNova luminescent paintings. Here's another pic...
1756002837948.png


As for the specs itself (which is really what seems to make this watch special in my own opinion)... Sapphire crystal both in the front & back (more on that later...). Titanium housing, (as previously mentioned) Super LumiNova luminescent, antireflective treatment on the front crystal, water resistant to 200M/20 BAR (yep it has a screw in crown which supports that rating) case diameter is 41 mm, height is 12.5mm (I'll throw a pic on that one next) and width is 20mm. As to the height comment...

1756003397968.png


Anywho wrapping things up- this is an automatic with sapphire front/back & titanium housing & my particular example just seems to punch so much higher than it should than it's price point would indicate (sub $500). They offer this model (green strap/gray face) & another with a black strap & face. Frankly I'm going to keep an eye out and likely pick up the black face model once it comes on sale.

As far as criticisms go- first & foremost, I'm not wild about the Expedition North logo that they have slapped on the rear sapphire crystal. I understand branding & al that but I feel like this detracts from the overall appearance. Here's what I'm talking about...

1756003749774.png


Aside from that- while my particular model has been shockingly accurate for an automatic (especially at this price point) this particular movement (as previously mentioned) is inexpensive for a reason as compared to others and I'm noticing that more & more as I wear this particular watch. The movement itself isn't particularly loud but the winding mechanism is extremely pronounced. Put another way- I've lost more than a third of my hearing and even I can hear the winding components, so that component is just awfully loud. That said- I'm already hard of hearing so can easily turn a blind eye to this nuance given the accuracy I'm seeing.

Other than that criticism- while not unique to this particular model, one thing to keep in mind is while titanium housings are incredibly light- they also scratch easily. Not exactly a knock against this watch but something to be aware of. Other than that- one needs to do a gut check on what they want out of their watch. Focusing on just mechanical movements- if one wants it to keep accurate time- well I'm extremely satisfied by mine. If you're worried about the sum of the parts- well this has dual sapphire components & titanium housing... a lot of watch for this price point I'd say.

If you want a watch to impress others- well this is and always will be a Timex and likely won't gain much traction there. I personally purchased mine because I was intrigued by what this particular model brought to the table & how it was a bit of an outlier for Timex. It's not going to impress anyone but dang- I think this watch is cool as can be and punches so far above its price.

Hope this was of value to some folks.

Your take on what our (society) future looks like...

I'm feeling a bit pessimistic on the topic myself-

Reason being that housing is abjectly unaffordable for most of the new house purchasing market.

Costs continue to rise yet wages remain stagnant. I can't help but think we're reaching a point where we're approaching "a moment". I've shared it here before but I finally purchased my 1st house (at a later age than I'd care to admit) last year and it took me an substantially above average income & freakish commitment to living in the slums in order to save a down payment to get to this point.

While I'm grateful for my humble house- I can't help but feel this necessity is beyond unrealistic/unsustainable. I keep thinking something has to "give" eventually but it doesn't. I have season tickets to Hershey Park and have noticed the folks cleaning up trash are easily 70+ years old... That gives me pause. Perhaps they squandered away every dollar they earned but conversely perhaps they just got priced out of life and quite literally have to pick up trash in their 70/80's just to eat that night.

Certainly a complicated problem but... I'd argue that it's also a very real societal problem too. Present company excluded- but I often see folks that are already home owners take the stance that the others just "need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps" so they can be like them & live their best life. But... It doesn't seem to work that way does it? At least not today.

Nas3 308 Brass

I received a batch of the Shellshock 308 Win casings. The company has zero communication skills. I left several messages via email/phone and received no responses. I also received zero shipping info but the brass did arrive after 6 days so not bad but the lack of communication annoyed me.

The brass itself looks terrible. Its filthy unlike the photos they provide on their website where it all looks new. What I received looks like 5 week old nickel range brass. Pretty ugly.

I threw some of it in the stainless media to clean it up. We will see how it turns out. The annealing marks are almost 3/4 of the way down the case length....kinda weird. The 300blk casing I bought previously looked MUCH better.

My only guess is that they coat them in some kinda of oil during packaging. The bag is covered in it.

The interesting part is the H2O capacity. My alpha (unfired) srp brass holds 54.8 grains of water BUT the SS Nas3 holds 57!!! That is a massive difference.

My plan is too load some up tomorrow with my current 308 recipe and see how it goes.
