Yet another thread about airsoft stocks for rimfire rifles, sorry in advanced.

Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Bergara B14r barreled action and dropping it in the airsoft versions of the M40A5 or an AICS chassis. It seems like one of these with an HMR bottom metal would be a drop in fit as long as the airsoft version is 1:1 scale. I know trying to drop the B14r in the AICS chassis might take some more DIY/fab work to make it fit since the 700 footpring and the AI footprint are different

Anyone else do anything like this?

(Yes I already know this is probably not the most cost effective idea, I just kinda want a fun .22 clone of something haha)

I got a batch of loaded 6 dasher using 3 times fired(from my rifle) alpha 6 dasher brass. About half of the batch started having chambering issue today.

The problem is the bolt cannot be closed.

70% of the unchambered rounds can be extracted using the bolt's extractor, the rest 30% need to use cleaning rod or some kind of tool to pull from the back.

I compared FL resized brass with fired brass, 0.002inch difference, so I reckon resize part should be good.
Then I measured neck diamater(outside the neck), it is almost identical between unchambered round and round can be chambered.
I also checked the ogive between rounds can be chambered and cannot be chambered, it is.the same.
Lastly, I checked the outer diameter close to the extractor grove between fired and unchambered, it's almost identical.

Same load has been fired in the same rifle few months ago.

And same thing happened on a 308win rifle too, only differenc is on the 195gr ELD bullet of the 308 unchambered rounds, there is some scratches, which I thought could be seating depth issue, but will need to verify this shortly. No marks on the 6 dasher ELD 108gr bullet.

But for the 6 dasher's chambering issue, any suggestion or direction would be really appreciated.

UPDATE:
I also pull the bullet out of a loaded round but could not chamber, compared the headapace it is same as FL resized brass, but even the unloaded brass with only primer can not be chambered, so it was able to fire last time, but after resize 0.002inch, it.can not be chambered, how does this make sense?

UPDATE 2:
So I pulled all of the unchambered rounds, FL resized, check chambering, no problem, expand using .242 mandral, chamber no problem, charge then seat the ELD 108gr bullet about 0.025inch from lands, check chambering, some still could not chamber.
I don't get it, how could seating bullet causing loaded rounds not chambering? And it seems this only happened randomly within the same batch.

I've had a couple PM's asking about the second generation Bering Optics Super Yoter clip on. The main question seems to be "how good is the image at range". I thought I would post these here for others who might be interested also.

I'm not going to call this a comparison, because we all know it's not an apples to apples test because the Yoter is in a wider FOV class and it's a third of the price. But I will say that within a couple hundred yards and under 10x the SY-Cii holds its own very well image wise. Plus it has onboard recording, is smaller, and has the larger FOV. I wouldn't have hesitated to spend this winter hunting with it if the Eotechs hadn't come along.

These pics were taken back to back. I've got more at 700yds I can post later if anybody is interested.

Also note, at 2.5x I'm loosing FOV with the Yoter. There is more past the edges.

I've come across a frustratingly large number of fired Alpha Dasher cases that will no longer chamber (easily) in the rifle from which they were fired.

For the cases that dont chamber (easily), I've found that the lip of the case neck will measure 0.273-0.2735 with a seated round...and my chamber is 0.274. As a result, chambering and extracting is not possible without a rubber mallet.

I've also found that when I neck size down in my 0.267 bushing, the lips and the body of the case neck (for the most part) measure out to ~0.267 +/- 0.0005. But, it's only when I go to the expander mandrel from PMA Tool that the lips get way over sized to 0.270 while the body remains 0.267

Reloading process:

- Wet tumble w/SS pins
- Anneal with AMP induction
- Bump/Neck size w/ 0.267 bushing
- Mandrel with PMA Tool 6mm expander mandrel (which im told is 0.242 for a final inside diameter of 0.241 after spring back)
- Wet tumble again to wash off lube
* note, this is 1-2x fired and dont require trim based on my measurments

So...my questions are as follows:

1) How to I remove the material from the lips of the case neck so that the entire neck is 0.267? Ive tried using the Lyment case prep express to chamfer the outsides...but it won't remove enough.

2) Is there a step in my process where I was supposed to address this?

3) Has anyone else encountered this with Alpha or other brass? I've also seen this relationship exists with virgin Alpha Dasher brass whereby there will be a ring around the lips that can measure 2-2.5 thou wider than the case neck body. See pics below.

4) What could cause the mandrel to create this fishmouthing of the case lips?

Anyone doing businesss with a company called “ primers 12 “ they are listing Federal primers LR match in stock. It seems a little odd that they are listed out of stock at other places. They only take some eft payment

I'm sitting here, minding my own business. I'm just reading some of the threads and drink a coke in a cup with ice. Then my brain decides to do something it rarely does, it starts to think. It notices my eye looking into the cup and seeing something that makes it go Hmmmm.

It now is asking a question, WHY DOES ICE MELT AT DIFFERENT RATES WHEN IT'S IN THE SAME CUP?

I noticed that ice melts at much different rates when it's in the same cup of coke. Some are almost complete melted, while others have barely melted at all.

To other brains out there, why is this? Scientist and engineers are welcome to explain too. But I suspect I'll get the Bubba's mind explaining it the most.

All are welcome.

Australian Defence has recently selected the AX-SR for its next generation sniper rifle.
This will undoubtedly disrupt the world supply of these weapons, as they furiously get our three rifles ready for delivery!!!

Your patience is appreciated

Has anyone seen these? Looks like a baby step forward for that line. Price point seems pretty decent.

This is what happens when you steal an election and put a racist whore in office.

The scope is a Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 f2 MIL-R and is less than a year old and in mint condition. I got it to get into long range shooting only to discover I'm really a hand gun guy. Expensive discovery a little too late. I also have a Wilson combat 6.5 Super Sniper with a 24" barrel for sale but this post is for the scope and mount. The mount is a Vortex cantilever. I paid $3,200 new and am asking $2,500 obo for the scope and mount.

The first day of bow season was a disaster for me. I tried mechanical broadheads for the first time (i had practiced with them). My target buck for the year made an appearance at 21 yards and I let her fly. As near as I could tell the blades opened in flight and the arrow went haywire, jerking hard to the left. It appeared that the broadhead then stuck in his shoulder and he beat feet. Zero blood, searched for 10 hours including a dog. Two days later my neighbor bagged him. He said the broadhead was still embedded.

Anyway I went back to my fixed blades and connected.

I had planned to give this fella another year or two but he was just too tempting of a target for my frustration

The pic is the exit not entrance btw.

looking at scopes for a soon to be bergara 6.5. budget should really stay @ $800. more possible but cost matters. at that,am looking used here and GB. burris signature,lower end NF,swfa HD are at front but consider any. had good luck with athlon and vortex. max range i can access is 600yd. hunting not much of an issue. prefer sfp but ffp ok for this use. IR a big plus but not necessary. MOA much preferred. any one got input,experience,opinion?

I need to drill and tap a small hole in a bolt carrier. this thing is hard as fuck and even after grinding the black coating off ive smoked a couple drill bits giving it a go. do I need a specific bit? ive tried slow to fast with oil. barely puts a scratch in it. wtf?

So I’ve been looking for two $2k’ish, 3-18’ish, tree reticle, illuminated scopes for my 17HMR and a LMT-H. At the same time my son wants a light hunting optic.
Had an opportunity to compare a MK5 3-18, RXR LHT 3-15 and an NX8 2-20.
Definitely going to recommend the RZR for my son. Fairly impressive glass. Controls will be fine. He doesn’t know any better.
Was ready to place an order for NX8’s as I’ve had good success with my two 4-32 NX8’s, until I compared it to the MK5… I’d been thinking the tighter eye box on the NX8 wasn’t going to be a big issue. It sure was when compared to the MK5. I’d looked through some MK5’s a few years ago at PRE and decided no thanks. I’m thinking that was probably because I was trying to compare it to Alpha glass. I want to say it was slightly more clear than the NX8 as well… parallax was definitely better on the MK5.
Well damn. MK5 only has one tree reticle model and it’s not illuminated. Guess I’m back to the drawing board.
I know Burris should be an option. Having a hard time with that.
Am I missing other options??
