38 PRC?

Anyone else think a 38 prc would be a good idea? I currently have a 300 win. Sometimes I wish I had a bit more oomph, but not as much as a 338 Lapua - something like a 338 win mag, with maybe a little more horsepower.

I like that you can mag feed high BC bullets from the PRC series without issues - only downfall to my 300 win is that the magazine smashes the metal tips on the rounds it holds and seats the bullet into the case deeper, essentially making the gun a single shot, which sucks. Spending thousands on a 300 PRC setup to correct that doesn't seem worth it to me.

They are coming out with modern versions of all the other calibers. My fingers are crossed that they do it with a 338. Anyone hear anything? Thoughts?

Thanks!

Vax pushers

@DocRDS

Listen here you low IQ inbred cocksucker. I didn't push anything on anyone, nor was a member of any org that did. I supported everyone's right to choose for themself.

Now your rabid facism on who is "pure" and "impure" tells me you are the same as vax pushers and should be dealt with the same way.

Harshly.

Very Harshly

Stop shitting up my thread

Wtf are you on about with “rabid fascism “?

Why so angry people are understanding all the sudden deaths are due to the clot shot ??

SOLD Defiance Ruckus Tactical RH Nitride

SOLD

What’s for sale?​

A low use factory nitrided short action Defiance Ruckus Tactical right hand bolt action. Defiance calls this a medium action I believe - it’s R700 short action length, cut to feed from AW and AICS magazines and accepts prefit barrels. Action features standard bolt face (.473”) for .308win and 6.5cm type cases, has an integral recoil lug, 20 MOA integral action rail, and comes with the “tactical” bolt knob. It has less than 200rds fired with at least that much dry fire.

What’s it cost?​

$1300 plus shipping to your FFL, so long as UPS doesn’t give me trouble and your FFL accepts from individuals. If they don’t, my FFL will transfer but the cost is increased. Payments accepted are electronic no fee (Zelle, CashApp, Apple Pay preferred), USPS money order, bank check, and PayPal/Venmo F&F last after I vet you. Not taking trades unless you have a Henderson Gen3 trimmer.

Add a Bix TacSport two stage (not Pro) with Gator shoe for $200. Add a 6.5 Creedmoor PVA M24 contour barrel with sub 100rds for $425 - note that shipping will increase for a barreled action or I can mail the barrel separately.

FTF Light Primer Strikes. Origin Action/IMI Mk262

I thought I had seen a related thread recently, but I cannot find it now.

I took my new "build" out today for the first time to get it sighted in.

Its a Bighorn Origin with a Hawk Hill 223 Wylde Chamber barrel and TT Special.

I Shot
2014ish Federal 55gr .223 (Just to get on paper at 25yds)
2016 5.56 Magtech MK262 Clone
2023 5.56 IMI MK262 Clone in Commercial packaging
2015 5.56 IMI MK262 Brown Box
2023 5.56 Black Hills Redbox 77gr TMK

Everything shot fine except both of the IMI loads. Lots of FTF due to light primer strikes I guess. All had an indentation, but no bang. I tried to re-fire them all and 2 of 5 or so did fire the 2nd try.
I assume they just have harder primers, but is there anything that can be done? Like a stronger firing pin spring?
Adjusting the TriggerTech Special to a heavier pull wouldn't help would it?

Firearms WTB barreled action's or action

I am looking to make payments on a barreled action, unless it is a steal of a deal. I will consider a tikka prefer long magnum, 7 mag etc or a good varmint cartridge. I am fine with a factory rem 700BA, or cheaper custom build or maybe just action. 22 creed, 25x47 or creed maybe cheaper 6.5 creed or 6.5 prc is preferred for a short action, other than that looking for a medium or long. Have plenty of references doing payments. PLEASE send offers through pm, not on this post as I don't want anyone to get hit by a scam other than myself, ps... I won't do business with you without quality feedback

24” AR15 in 223 with a lot of recoil for a 223 - WTF?

Let me start by saying the recoil isnt because I’m recoil sensitive, it’s more a concern whether something is wrong. Everything works fine/runs fine and is more accurate than me - I just want to make sure nothing is wrong. Just seems to be hard on parts is all.

Built an AR15 with a JP 24” barrel in 223, rifle length gas tube, tried a carbine buffer tube/spring and H1-H3 buffers, now I’m using a rifle length buffer/tube/spring. Buffer changes didn’t really make a big difference at all. Oh, and it has a JP muzzle brake on it too.

It has a LOT more recoil than my ultralight faxon AR15 in 223 which weighs 6lbs. This 24” AR weighs about 13-15lbs.

All factory ammo, no over pressure signs around the primers. Tried H1-H3 buffers and have the gas turned down as possible and have it eject property and Last round hold open. it still kicks way harder than I feel like it should? It recoils so hard the muzzle / bipod will jump. (Yup it’s seated firmly against shoulder). It Feels like a lot for a 223 and compared to my other 16” carbine AR15? I mean it has much recoil as my AR10. Is that just because it’s a 24” barrel and rifle length gas tube?

Built several AR15 pistols and carbines, this is the first longer one with rifle length gas system so wondering if that’s all it is?

I’m thinking about trying a carbine H3 buffer (so it’s shorter than the rifle length buffer, in a rifle length buffer tube, with the rifle length spring to see if it’ll have a little more room for the bolt to slow down?

Is there anything I should check to make sure it’s all ok? A couple of my buddies think it had kind of a lot of recoil for what it is too.

The answer may be, “sounds about right to me, run it” and that’s totally fine, I figured I’d just double check tho :)

U.S. Army Ends Free Storage of Vehicles, Belongings for Deployed Soldiers



Deployed U.S. Army soldiers will no longer be able to store their belongings free of charge while they are away from home, the Army Sustainment Command announced Wednesday.
A spokesman for the command, which is the primary provider of logistics support to Army units, told Military.com that it was discontinuing the use of funds to store soldiers’ vehicles and other goods while they are away for prolonged periods of time.
It was not specified whether the announcement applies to all deployment types or just to soldiers on temporary duty.
The storage policy ended in October, but the order was not “widely distributed” to soldiers or the press, the outlet reported.
“We understand the burden this could potentially place on soldiers, and HQDA G-1 [The Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Department of the Army] is drafting policy that would enable such storage,” service spokesman Sgt. Pablo Saez said.
That new “policy” was only mentioned after Military.com first reached out to the Army about the issue in early December, the outlet noted.
It is unclear when or in what manner that future policy will take form.
An internal memo from Col. Heather Carlisle, director for support operations at the Army Sustainment Command, said that the Army is not required to provide storage for its soldiers:
HQDA G1, the proponent for [storage] entitlements, recently determined that the Army would no longer support [storage] entitlements because there is no Army policy explicitly authorizing storage in support of soldiers deployed for contingency operations.
Following the discontinuation of the storage program, members of the Army have been authorized to store their vehicles in motor pools, which are typically used to house tactical vehicles and “frequently are uncovered or not climate controlled,” according to the outlet.
