Saboteurs, Alphabeti, or just methbillies at it again?

Yet another incident…. Either being reported more, or happening with more frequency, haven’t done a deep dive on the data yet.

My vote’s meth heads or plain old rednecks, but we’ve been catching more and more bad’uns slipping across our Southern border. I wouldn’t rule out sleeper cell either…pick your flavor of country of origin, China, Russia, Venezuela, or somewher in the middle east.

Valid method for finding jam, Or just stupid?

Trying to find my jam point so I can start testing seating depths.
The loctite method didn't work for me. Could barely close the bolt! And I don't own the Hornady tool.
So what I decided to do was start with the loctite measurements and seat the bullet deeper until the cartridge did not "stick" in the chamber.
Basically I would push the rd into the chamber with my finger and then tip the rifle up. If the rd stuck, I'd remove it and seat it deeper until it fell out freely.
My thoughts process was if it was stuck, it was in the lands. Once it fell out on its own, it wasn't.
Loctite measurements were 2.335 base to ogive.
"Finger method 🤣" was 2.292 BTO
Is this method complet horse shit???
Am I just wasting time, or does this seem reasonable?

Accessories MDT ACC FDE

Want to trade my ACC for an M40a5 or something similar.

Never been in the field. Mounted my barreled action in it and just don’t like it as much as I thought I would.

Would like to make an even trade. Can provide more pictures upon request.

Night Vision Helmet mounted vs hand held thermal for coyote?

I have some coyotes in my land and they need to go. I’ve never hunted coyotes at night before and am wondering if I should go with a helmet mounted or handheld thermal scanner. I would imagine helmet mounted is more convenient but handheld is far cheaper. However, I do believe in buy once cry once.

Edit: I’m in West Virginia and the terrain is mostly mountainous forest but I have a couple of good sized fields I would hunt that are about 300 yards long.

Experienced night hunters, which do you prefer and why?

POI change from bipod to barricade

I have an AR I built using Seekins upper receiver and triangle handguard that bolts to the upper not the barrel nut. 24” lilja 223 barrel. Shooting prone off a bipod it’s sighted in. Then when I transition to shooting off barricades using a bag I’m hitting .4-.5 mils low at 100 yards. I tested moving the bipod back to where the rifle rests on the bag and it was shooting around .3 mils low from prone.

This was very repeatable between myself and another accomplished shooter so I don’t think it’s shooter error. We played with pressure and free recoil with no improvement. We were shooting bolt guns as well and did not experience this shift.

Double checked I don’t see anything loose and the barrel, gas tube, gas block are not contacting the handguard. Accuracy was excellent in all positions.

Anyone have some advice, tips, tricks ect.

Train depot explosion in north Idaho

Felt the explosion as did everyone in a 10 mile radius, but rumor mill saying an explosion at the train depot left at least one dead and other cars on fire. My tinfoil hat is screwed on tight, but I’m hoping this isn’t related to the railroad strike stuff/sabotage etc… early reports said earthquake, then possibly the explosion set off the sensors.

Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

In 2023, I intend to build 4 AR-15s, and I would like a little help planning out the parts I'm going to have to buy, as well as the strategy for each gun. Three of the rifles will be in 556, including one that will be a Recce/SPR, and one that will be an SBR, while the fourth will be in 6mm. I've thought about 6.5 Grendel but I think 6mm Arc has everything that I'd want anyways. So two SPR/Recce rifles (one in 556, one in 6mm arc), an SBR, and a regular general-purpose do-it-all rifle.

I'm really new to guns so I don't fully know what I'm doing, so forgive me if these Frankenstein builds look jarring, gaudy, or cringe; I'm learning as I go along. I'm open to suggestions, parts lists, advice, recommendations, and inspiration for how I should approach or strategize a build. I'm just offering what I'm thinking will go into my own builds, feel free to offer your own builds so I can study them and possibly incorporate them into my own planning.

Fought a blender

And the blender blades won.

Went to rummage in my tools to find something, and somehow the blades to the wife’s Ninja blender fell into the tool box. (Looking back at the crime scene, it looks like the damn cat knocked the blender over on top of the garage fridge, which made the blades fall into the toolbox which is right next to it).

When I went to stick my paw in, I felt a weird sensation then red everywhere.

Damn blade went damn near all the way through my thumb, and I barely felt it. After 10 minutes of it bleeding through numerous towels, we ran up to the nearest urgent care, who then referred me to a different urgent care.

There I had to get XRays to make sure I didn’t do damage to the nerves or whatnot, a tetanus shot, then stitches to close the over inch long laceration running through my thumb.

So yeah. Don’t get complacent and start rummaging around in your tool box without looking at what your doing.

Fouling shots?

I took two rifles out to the range today and I had deep cleaned both with Barnes CR-10. I cleaned them and bore scoped them until I could not find any copper fouling. A R700 with factory varmint barrel in .243 Win with about 1,000 rounds on it shooting 100 grain Privi Partisan (cheap plinking ammo) The other rifle is a stock Tikka Tac A1 308 Win shooting 160 grain Hammer Target hand loads, around 800 rounds on it.

Both rifles needed 6 rounds down the barrel until they started grouping, the first groups were 1.5"-2" and then both printed 4 shot groups just under .5" at 100 yds.
I do not deep clean very often but both barrels were copper fouled heavily. I use Hoppes #9 for routine cleaning and it usually takes just one fouler to get back to normal.

I was just curious what others see when shooting after a deep clean.

What's your experience with shooting a barrel back in after a deep clean?

What Is a good rifle for competition?

Im looking for a good competition rifle that can shoot up to 500 yards with factory ammo, sub MOA. I have a Savage model 110 FCP in 308 and it shoots great! But i have a 6mm BR that doesn't shoot that good and its hard to find ammo for that rifle. I was looking to get something chambered in 6.5 creed. What are your thoughts? And what rifles do you recommend that are under $1000? I Was looking into the bergara b14 hmr, but still undecided.
