I've got an Impact 737 I am thinking of sending in to get cut for AW mags. Corrosion resistance is pretty important where I am at.

What are people doing for coating after having action work done? It is already nitrided- I don't know that I can nitride it again. Hard chrome? PVD? Cerakote? At some point it may make sense to just sell it and pick up a factory AW cut action, but being in CA that's a bit of a pain so I am trying to figure out my options.

Any rock collectors?

I have always thought unique rocks are cool. But never learned much about them.

Feel free to post cool rock pics.

Anyone know what BA after the Hornady lot# means?
Had an interesting day shooting today.
I’ve been breaking in my 6GT with factory H109 ammo.
In the past was only getting about 2780fps from them.
Was hoping the barrel would speed up quite a bit, but the rounds are stupid accurate.

Fast forward to today. Grabbed a couple boxes from my stash and went shooting.
Garmin immediately read 2960 for 20rnds
Looked at the box and saw GA after the lot#
Compared old box to current box. Primers in the fast loads are gold and barely have primer marks on them.

Here’s some pics for reference.
Any help to solve the mystery would help. Thanks Hide.

MDT ESS chassis for sell. It is for a Remington short action. It also has the updated thumb screws for the cheek rest and but stock.
Asking $850.00 shipped OBO.

I'm going to regret this. But I bought this with some ideas of competing and in reality they won't happen due to schedules. My summer was supposed to be free but now I'm working every weekend I'm not traveling.

Only looking to trade for something that I'll use for hunting. Seems to be the only time I get out nowadays

I think we should ban it here in the United States. Enough of this boot licking!

Good Grief!

On June 7, 2005, the United States Congress issued a concurrent resolution calling on the President of the United States to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

And won $35,000 dollars cause it turns out a grown man calling another grown man a name isn’t against the law . Guess they didn’t know that down in Montrose CA .

Yep will to ticket and fine grown men for swear words but not willing to do anything about the rampant crime or street shitting or the illegal mass murders.

I’m planning a build on a bolt gun 6arc chassis gun bases around the Howa mini action. The chassis I chose is the Accurate Mag sport tac lite. I’m having trouble finding an American made optic in the mid power range from 2 or 3 power at the bottom to 18+ at the top as well as FFP, budget isn’t really an Issue as long as its not 3k +. The reason I want American made is simply because I don’t want to pay for something that a general optics manufacturer in china is making for 10 different brands that all just dress it up differently and add different reticles.

Overall, RRS support is painful to get a response and slow as molasses to fix their errors. I ordered an apex conversion kit for my Ultralight RRS tripod and Anvil. Instead of buying the bundle I pieced my way there over time. While trying to install the legs onto the apex centerpiece one of the bolts would not slide into the leg holes. I had to sand it down to get it into the leg. At which point I said to myself, for what we pay for the RRS gear I will just have them ship me a new bolt that is not out of spec. It took a week to get the part and they sent the wrong one. Now trying to get them to expedite the 2nd attempt and yet to get a human on the phone or a response via email.
On the flip side the guy at Two Vets answers my call and emails on weekends. I have not had a need for support from TVT ironically. I did ultimately buy their Recon v2 Inverted tripod. I went with it because I liked their 3-leg option vs the RRS 2-leg - more compact. So far it is pretty nice.
More or less venting, but curious if others are seeing issues with RRS or figured out how to get them to be more responsive?

What motivates someone that finds treasure free and clear to make it public? Idiots.

“The can contained 598 coins, divided into 11 columns, each wrapped in black cloth,” Novak said. “The metal box contained a total of sixteen snuff boxes, ten bracelets, a wire bag, a comb, a chain, and a powder compact. All made of yellow metal.” The find was worth 7.5 million [Czech] Crowns, according to Novak, which is about $340,000.

Loaded up a new load for this 6.5cm AR, and right out of the gate started piercing primers. and primer flow on some. Gun only has approx 40 rnds on it, and no piercings on those. First 20 was some standard issue S&B 140s, which shot really well, then a few mild reloads (which I dont remember the specs off hand) which were fine as well.
These loads were alpha brass, federal srp's, berger 130s over 35.7gr of varget, (37.5 is berger book max) and 40.1gr of H4350 (berger book max is 41.6). Both beat the necks up pretty good (dented mouths, and scored necks, w/ mild ejector swipe & extractor marks)
The bolt and bolt carrier is Lantac's match model. Mcgowen custom barrel w/ superlative gas block (dont remember the setting) and a supressor on. 2582fps was the average on the 35.7 of varget, and 2554 was the average on the 36gr of varget.

Like with a cloth. Curious why it wasn't done the first day.
