Illinois Residents, will we be the next to fall? Call now!

Take a minute to call this. Ask others to call too.
I've already emailed state senators and representatives. This bill if passed would give law abiding gun owners 300 days to register thier guns or face felony charges. No manufacturing, ownership,transfer, or sale of any semiautomatic or any magazine over 12 rounds.
Illinois is still home to Rock River, Springfield Armory, Armalite and others. LMT and Les Baer have already moved across the river to Iowa to avoid Illinois taxes and regulation.

So please contact Senate President Don Harmon IMMEDIATLY at 217-782-8176 and demand he block SB 2226 “The Assault Weapons Ban.”

Thank you.

It took me 40 years… but I did it!

I finally found a gun that will fit in this holster that I bought when I was a teenager!

Holster is a 1920’s Heiser, Denver. And I have been dutifully keeping it oiled all these years. Finally, the right gun came along…

And the gun is a 1970’s Python with some holster wear… and new mechanical condition. I mean… perfect. Was in bottom of a case at my LGS that specializes in Lego guns and Tupperware. For a song!

I need a nice set of original wood grips, but they are all over Gunbroker. I’d love a set of Ropers, but they are insanely spendy. Well, maybe in another 40 years I’ll find a set.

Finally, two birds with one stone! This is the smoothest revolver I ever handled, I think!

Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

People of Earth,

American Rifle Company proudly introduces the Coup De Grâce at the hard to believe introductory price of only $899.

We'll be taking orders soon, probably in about eight weeks once actions are on the shelf.

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

e. coup de grâce n. /ku də ɡras/ [literally stroke of grace] a blow by which one condemned or mortally wounded is ‘put out of his misery’ or dispatched quickly; hence figurative a finishing stroke, one that settles or puts an end to something.

Whether it puts competitors out of their misery or puts and end to the confusion resulting from the myriad of other bolt actions with little or nothing to distinguish one from another, American Rifle Company’s Coup De Grâce is certainly worthy of its name.

Simply put, the Coup De Grâce does more with less and looks great doing it with its beautiful design, DLC and salt bath nitrided finishes.

It’s Rem700 footprint receiver is machined with an integral recoil lug and integral 20 MOA rail.

The three-lug, 70-degree bolt uses interchangeable floating bolt heads and accommodates everything from 223 Rem on up to 338 Lapua.

Receiver and bolt work well with AICS mags but are optimized for incredibly smooth and reliable feeding using AIAW mags and conical breech barrels.

The AIAW mag will hard stop against the bottom of the receiver thus preventing interference with the bolt.

The back of the AICS mag will hard stop against the receiver but if pushed upwards, the forward tips of the feed lips will interfere with the bolt. The mag will be driven down when pushing the bolt forward. An optional forward hard stop for the AICS mag can be placed between the receiver and the stock/chassis.

Receiver-mounted passive (aka mechanical) ejector sends cases out at three o’clock through a large ejection port.

Controlled-round feed extractor grips a large portion of the case rim taking full advantage of the patented pivoting bolt handle that easily pulls even the most stubborn cartridges from the chamber.

The pivoting bolt handle can be swapped out for a fixed handle thus converting the action to one with conventional cam extraction better tolerated by highly sensitive triggers.

The entire bolt assembly is composed of only sixteen parts, but can function with as few as twelve, of which two are springs and one is a ball.

The entire bolt, even the striker assembly, can be disassembled in the field without the use of tools.

A screw-adjustable trigger hanger makes easy work of positioning Rem700 compatible triggers for bump-free bolt closing.

Dual cocking cams reduce friction within the bolt for easier bolt lift.

The bolt knob is our best ever and makes fast cycling really easy. Other knobs can also be adapted to the standard 5/16-24 handle thread.

The circular section of the bolt handle makes sweeping it back easy if that’s your preference.

Robust 9 o’clock bolt release has a direct load path to the receiver which protects the its pivot pin.

Patented toroidal bolt-lug bearing surfaces reduce stress.

The Coup De Grâce is explosively tested for safety at pressures that greatly exceed standard proof loads.

Weight: short action 947 grams (2.1 pounds), long action 1084 grams (2.4 pounds)

Why, you might ask, would we offer the Coup De Grâce at such a low price? Well, let's just say I'm a big fan of decentralized decision making and to that end, I think everyone should have long range rifle built on the best action ever offered by anyone at any price. But that's just me.

Enjoy

Ted

Armada vs Sequoia (2017-2020)

I presently have a Gen I Sequoia; but it's getting a bit long in tooth and it's going to have to have the timing belts done soon. I just sunk money into brakes this summer (did it myself, so i'll chalk that up as an 800 dollar learning session of NEVER to buy parts from the local parts store or Summit).

So, I'm toying with possibly getting a used Armada. This won't be a daily but a 6-8x year tow vehicle for the track car and out of state vacations to beach, mountains, etc.

I guess what scares me about the Armada are:
1) Nissan quality
2) Don't hold value...is that due to quality or just because it's Nissan? However, it means nice (< 75k miles) can be had for a decent price.

Toyota quality is known; however, the Gen II Sequoia seems a super ancient design as it came 'round in 2007 vs 2017. That said, the Sequoia Gen I brakes SUCK!!!!!!!! And the transmission is a bit questionable (granted, mine was used and is now getting close to 200k).

Thoughts on the Armada appreciated.

Pictures when I have a moment… all in excellent condition.

McCarthy "Finally" elected Speaker of the House!

It took 15 rounds of voting and it was very close on the 14th round, but he finally made it .

On the 14th round McCarthy lost by 1 vote, when some of the 6 holdouts still voted for an alternative candidate (Biggs). By that time, even Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz had converted their votes to "Present" in order to lower the majority requirement.

After the 14th round of voting,one member made a motion to Adjourn until Monday, 12noon. Apparently, that motion was defeated and they caucused a little more and went to a 15th round of voting. The results were, McCarthy 216, Jeffries 212 and 6 (the remaining holdouts) voting "Present" and lowering the majority requirement.

It was so contentious in the 14th round that there appeared to have been a "physical confrontation" between Gaetz and another McCarthy supporter.

Here's a 2 minute snippet of it.

So, they're about to swear him in and he'll make his opening statement.

Now, let's get down to business. We need to curtail those 87K IRS agents and secure the border!

Well, we have to try. I know Biden will veto most of it, but we have to try.

I'm going to sleep after they swear him in.

The Smallest Soldier

Interesting story about a former SF guy who was incredibly small in stature 4’-9”.

SF Captain Richard Flaherty from Connecticut

www.thesmallestsoldier.com

There’s a book “The Giant Killer” on Amazon about him.

There’s a TikTok account - thegiantkillerofficial that has some short stories about the guy.

I figured I’d post it here since there’s plenty of height stories to be told here in the SH 😉.

SOLD . 77gr Sierra Matchking, 2500 count

I got a little crazy at the auction and bought a few too many of these SMK bulk packs so I’m selling this one. $625 shipped. Pp f/f, Venmo, etc.

I've come across a bit of a small windfall an so I'm looking for a new custom build

Hi all,

This all happened when the wife and I had to cancel a 5500 mile road trip from Florida to Yellowstone and back with all the trimmings. I've flown all over the country for years on business but I wanted to see it all from ground level. We had it all set up ready to go on 2021 and we all know what happened then. Since then we've saved even more money and with SS coming in I have to spend some of this stuff. Ain't going to live forever!

So, I'm looking at having a laser built. As I am just getting back into reloading all options are open. I'm looking at a custom bolt, from .223 to 6.5. The last one I had built was by Badrock / Defiance Machine. Love that freaking action!

Suggestions within that caliber range would be most welcome. There are some 'smiths out there that I don't know about that I am sure could put together a laser for me. If you know some please let me know

All suggestions welcome!

Thanks.

Defiance action new costs?!

Ordered my tenacity short action a couple months ago , right before they changed ownership , just so happen to look at a couple websites just now and my action is
Now selling for $1,600….
I paid lile $950 after my veterans discount for mine. Do all companies plan on hiking up their prices like that? Or is this a bold move from defiance and hurt them? I love my action , hands down , my first ever bad ass custom action , but if I didn’t get the deal I got a couple months ago and these things were these new prices , then I would have had to get zermatt origin. Just curious what you all think?

223 goes kaboom

What happens when a Norinco 223 meets it's maker.

This was the gun of a coworker that had this happen to him earlier this evening. Our head gunsmith took a look at it and deemed it to be a combination of bad metal in the receiver and something to do with the ammo.

The ammo was factory Hornady Superperformance 53gr.

Either a "hot" load or most likely from what we figure is a bullet pushed too far down into the casing causing a dangerously compressed load. The reason we are leaning this way was due to one of the other factory loads having a bullet pushed too far down into the casing and because the shooter really slammed the bolt home and may have pushed a bullet father into the casing causing over pressure.

Luckily the shooter wasn't injured at all and was a little shaken.
