The weapon mounted LRF conundrum.

Aight, so @sneakypayload and I have been discussing the options (or lack thereof) for weapon mounted LRF. Seems as though it’s either 10k or discontinued. I was bitching about how come Holosun hasn’t ratted some shitty LRF into on of their “laser/IR/wml” housings and made a mediocre quality WMLRF.

Now, I’ll preface by saying, I’m just a dumb pipefitter. I in no way shape or form understand how any of this witchcraft works. But to me, it seems awfully simple to smash one of the thousands of low budget LRFs into an aluminum housing that’s mountable. Like, this doesn’t seem that unobtainable for a sub $500 LRF good for 600 and in. I know some people might scoff at the idea of only 600 yards but for me and my only application of nighttime predator hunting, that would be plenty.

By sure dumb luck, today we came across the Trybe optics diMa 1000 LRF. After scouring the internet, there’s basically zero information about it other than the company sells a LVPO and a clip on magnifier for LVPOs. Optics planet has them on their website for $500. Found one video on Facebook from 21’ of it and looks to be pretty legit. But again, zero information out there about it. Any one have any experience with one? Or is it just a figment of my imagination.

Also feel free to educate my ignorant ass on possibly why there isn’t a poor kid friendly WMLRF.

PA could very well have purposed the dumbest gun law in some time

Video below, but a law currently being purposed in Pennsylvania would require by 2024 that every bullet has to have its own serial number, with that serial number being both etched into the bullet and inside the case. In addition the serial number on the bullet would be required to be able to survive impact after it is fired. Just to top it off any ammunition that isn’t etched with said serial numbers would be illegal as of Jan 2024. I doubt this will pass but given the stupidity of other states lately who knows. But bills like these do point out how unserious they really are about crime, and are much more interested in just bankrupting the gun industry.

SOLD Accuracy International AW-50

Well, I think it's time for this safe queen to find a new home.

This is a very rare find as you don't see an AW-50 often, much less in this condition. As you can see from the pictures, this is a very good condition AW-50, chambered in 50 BMG of course. Total round count: 250.

It will ship in a custom laser cut SKB case (length left on purpose for a much longer barrel, just cut additional foam out) and Accu-Tac HD50 bipod. 2 magazines included. I can include the OEM Parker-Hale bipod if you want it also but it is inferior to the HD50.

Optic and mount pictured are NOT included!

I highly prefer face to face with this, in the Central Texas area (Austin). I will ship of course, and that cost will be up to the buyer. The case is massive. Estimate roughly $450 - insurance will be mandatory, shipped to the FFL of your choice. Obviously if your state does not allow big, mean and nasty 50 BMG purchases then be mindful of that and don't buy it. Promptly pack your belongings and move to a free state, then buy it!

$11,500. Will only accept certified check, wire-transfer or Zelle payment. Cash would be a great option face-to-face.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Advice on moving to the south east vs south west

Long story short my kids are graduating in a few weeks, my house is under contract, and I'm done with the snow and cold in Maine. I grew up in north west Georgia, so the SE is home to me.

My wife and I are relocating this summer. We have been making scouting trips to check out areas of interest and will continue to, but I thought I would ask here to get some hopefully first hand input. Here's the criteria:

We both cycle a lot, I race endurance mountain bikes (I don't do any gravity stuff anymore) and my wife and I enjoy gravel. My wife is really into rock climbing, sport climbing specifically. She loves sandstone.

We have been looking at Western NC (Brevard to Boone), Eastern Tennessee (just west of Chattanooga, and outside Dayton and Wartburg), and extreme South West Virginia as there is good climbing there. We will be making a trip to North Central and North West Arkansas next month. But we are both also interested in Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Utah.

I would love some thoughts and input on the various areas we are looking at. How expensive is the cost of living, what is the political climate is like, how's the weather, etc.

Thanks in advance

Bolt Lug Deformation - Proof SS 6ARC Barrel

Recently put together a 6 ARC gasser using a 22” SS Proof barrel in a Seekins IRMT upper with a new Maxim bolt. It shoots great however, after running a mix of factory 108 Hornady Match and running a load work up with 26.6 gr of 8208 XBR under an 87 gr vmax I found the deformation on the back of the bolt lugs:

This is after approximately 100 rounds. I’m not seeing pressure signs on the brass. Ejection using a suppressor with adjustable gas block, rifle buffer and JP polished/tuned spring is at 3 o’clock. Velocity gave an average of 2823 fps with an sd of 5 so it’s been very consistent. I double checked I wasn’t seating in the lands causing a pressure spike.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Should I run it as is? I also tried a different used no name MPI bolt to see if I got a lemon but came back with almost identical deformation on it after only 30 rounds.

Suppressors Suppressor companies- test fire before shipping?

Have a question for the TBAC people here and any other manufacturers. Do you test fire each suppressor before shipping?

If so, do you clean the suppressor before shipping?

I ask because I received my Ultra 9 Gen 2 recently after a very long wait since last summer and there was residue all over it. It appears as if it was used despite me buying it new and never shooting it myself during the wait.

Is it normal for a brand new suppressor to have shot residue on it?

Gas vs diesel

Hey all, I’m in the market for a new truck. I currently daily an f150 and my work truck is a 6.7 powerstroke f350 dually, with a service body.

I recently bought a 7x14 dump trailer. It’s got a gvw of 12,000 lbs. I’ve already had a few loads of stone and clean fill from some footers I just dug. I also co-own a 3.5 ton mini excavator I haul in the trailer when I need to.

So my issue is this… when I use the service body dually I have a tendency to get pulled over and weighed. It’s happened 4 times so far, it’s not so much the fact I get pulled over it’s the fact I’m on the side of the road for an hour and a half to two hours, while a trooper crawls all over my shit looking for things he can give me a ticket for.

The F150 doesn’t have the balls to haul 12k and I wouldn’t even attempt it.



So I’m looking into 3/4 ton and 1 ton single rear wheel trucks. I don't really want another diesel, but I’m not sure the gas trucks in my budget ($30k) have what it takes to tow a trailer of that weight semi frequently. The last thing I want to do is move into a truck that still can’t accomplish the task I need it to do.

Anybody tow heavy with a 2012-2016 3/4 ton gasser? Should I just suck it up and buy another diesel?
