Grill makers/users

I'm building a new custom Santa Maria type grill similar to the Hooray grill.
Is it worth the considerable extra expense to make the actual cooking part of the grill (30"x60") out of stainless steel ?
Would 1/2" round or square stock be better over time or is that a Ford vs Chevy question ?
I'm thinking about putting in square stock 'set up' like a diamond 🔷 instead of square, kinda like an Argentine grill.
Thanks

Firearms Dane Miller Rifles 6cm barreled action

Howdy everyone. Thinking of selling my DMR 2950 6cm as a barreled action. I had Dane put this together in June 2021 and it has sat in the safe ever since. I have not fired it. Only test fired. Here are the specs:
Curtis Axiom
26” Bartlein Heavy Palma bead blasted finish
TriggerTech Special
Gen 2 Little Bastard 5/8-24

Note the first few pics are the pics sent to me while Dane was building. The pic with the salt water camo KRG is how it sits now in my safe. $2750 shipped to your FFL. FFL must accept shipment from individual.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

M1a suppressed please help

Hello everyone I’m looking for some answers here I’m lost.

I bought an M1a and I’ve been on a mission to suppress it. I got an adjustable gas plug, and a smith enterprise thread adapter. I also have a keymo adapter for my sandman L.

I timed everything it seems solid I went to fire it through my suppressor and now we have a problem. Unsuppressed my groups are tight. Suppressed my rifle won’t group. Upon inspection it appears there is a glance on my end cap there is also copper flakes on my keymo adapter.

To be clear there are no markings or glances off my smith enterprise or my keymo muzzle brake. Just on my end cap.

Photos are attached.

Thanks

What am i doing wrong ?

Rifle is a DPMS upper
Bushmaster lower
BA barrel- 16.25 inch
Aero parts kit
Rise trigger.
Brand new strike Eagle 1-6.

Yes a franken rifle . Getting this mishmash of parts running was what brought me here and she runs well.
So not a precision rifle - more of a DMR (don’t t really like the term, or maybe not exactly sure what it encompasses)
Accuracy load is Hornady brass
CCI primers . And the best node seems to be right around 43-43.5 Varget.
Projectile is currently 168 match monsters or whatever such MidSouth called their bull pack- made by Nosler i believe

This rifle has surprised me with its accuracy for a franken gas gun.

So I’ve shot this rifle a lot this winter and maybe I’m expecting to much

22B552C6-6BA1-4B08-9D6E-9AD529421828.jpeg
The first target - and these are not necessarily cherry picked but fairly representative of what I get with this load
First target is 43.3 Varget - yes only 3 shot group for this one as the first 2 with this ladder were my spotters . But 3 into .625 and the first shot is the low flyer .

Second target is a 5 shot group for all you purists . 43.5 Varget. First round is again the flyer and about the same amount high this time .

100 yard range - bench with bipod and rear bag. Trying to use all the skills I e learned here and through regular trigger time .
Is what I’m seeing on target just what I can expect from this gasser of none premium top shelf parts ?

Is the 1-6 or maybe because it’s a dreaded and derided Vortex ?

Or is there a know formula/ problem that causes first round flyers ? A possible mechanical problem with the rifle ?

A structural problem with my technique.
I’ve not noticed this phenomenon with my other gas guns or with bolt guns . But I have made this rifle my do everything sorta deer bear boar target rifle and been working on shooting it well all winter .

This is a new optic- a direct replacement for the same that stopped working correctly.it was the older gen 1 and they replaced it with a gen 3 . Before the vortex glass this rifle at first wore an older Nikon monarch of higher magnification and I often noticed this first round flyer but didn’t have the knowledge to really see anything wrong with it 3-4 years ago.

The Unofficially Official Sub-Caliber/“Micro Bore” thread!

Thought this might be a fun topic I don’t often see discussed here, but how about a thread dedicated to sub-caliber (anything below .22) rifles?

I recently got bit by the .17 bug, and would honestly love a .20 as well though that may be awhile yet. I have a .17 Fireball and will be picking up a .17 Ackley Bee next week, but anything sub-cal would belong here no matter how obscure. Calhoon stuff, Ackley stuff, .10s, .12s, .14s, .17s, 19s, .20s bring it all!

To start, since I’m pretty new to this stuff, I’m powder shopping for my two. I realize the .17AB and .17FB are both relatively close-ish in performance, but the prices were right so I pounced. I was initially hoping for a .17 Hornet and a Fireball, but holy hell the going prices for anything Hornet are crazy these days! About the only rifles in mass production for it would be the Savage 25, which gets mixed reviews and sells for way too much for what it is IMO. Ruger and CZ are both put of the Hornet game, and both of them sell for STOOPID money most of the time. I still want one, but it may be awhile…

So anyway, the Ackley Bee will have to do in it’s stead. If anyone else is shooting these, I’m open to powder suggestions. Benchmark and 8208 both come recommended, but are both hard to find and expensive when you can find them. I’d prefer something relatively temp sensitive and less expensive, but that combo may be a unicorn right now. TAC, CFE-BLK, H335, and VV N120/130 are less expensive options that seem to get good reviews as well, so I may order a pound of each in a bit and start load development to see what I can get.

So, what’s everyone else shooting, if anything? :)

Sidearms & Scatterguns Best Custom Open and Limited guns

I am going to start shooting steel challenge and production class and am already looking ahead and think about shooting limited and posible open at some point...I think open may be a bit much for me right now but you never know. I would like to hear from guys that are or have shot in these divisions and advise on who are some of the best builders for open and limited.

And lets just pretend money is not an issue....I've been looking for a few months now and seems from about $3500 and up is the price point for a nice limited and or race gun.

Remember those affordable window air conditioners? Joe says no.

Theyre joining gas stoves in being 'regulated' (read: priced out of your budget). Wouldnt want the serfs being too comfortable.

Who is liable for insurance when shipping?

I keep seeing disclaimers on gunbroker auctions stating that insurance is not included and/or costs extra. Not just from private individuals but also businesses.

One in particular was concerning to see because it looked like they wouldn't accept credit card payments if you wanted to fully insure the rifle. I'm not going to buy that particular rifle, mostly because it has hit crack smoking prices, but I generally prefer credit card for these types of transactions just so I have some protection from fraud. But suppose I did buy it and it never showwd up, or showed up damaged. Would the seller be able to stop a chargeback with those terms listed?
