Accessories MDT ACC ELITE trade

I have a brand spanking new Elite that hasn’t been opened yet with 3 of the control bridges in FDE. I ordered this and before it arrived I ended up with another FDE Elite. Before I build this out would anyone be interested in trading me for a black Elite? It doesn’t even have to be a perfect chassis… (it won’t be after shoot it) I do want 3 control bridges so that’s a requirement or the money to boot.

My BNIB FDE Elite for your used Black Elite

Nightforce Ultramount vs Unimount

I see that Nightforce sells two lines of one piece mounts. They have their Ultramount (looks like it was released a few years ago) and their “Ultralite” Unimount.

Is anyone aware of the differences between the two? It looks like both are compatible with their Multimount and dive board.

The Ultralite Unimount seems easier to find in local shops and at a better price.

Ugly Primer Seater on SAC Nexus

I asked SAC if the Ugly Primer Seater would work on the NEXUS. They said no. Well, they were wrong. I couldn't find any info on the web where this was attempted before so I just did it myself. I cut a primer tube in half to fit under the handle and just fabricated a piece of aluminum plate to sit over the Nexus case holder. Works like a champ. I will be making a more permanent plate that will have pegs that slip into the spare cam stops holes, just to hold it in place.

anyone out there doing tenkara style fly fishing?

More and more I have been fishing smaller western streams( the kind you can almost step over) and ran into a guy doing tenkara fly fishing. Light rod, no reel, small selection of flies. He seemed to really like but I was trying to get back to the truck before I lost all light so we did not talk long.

Anyone experienced with it?

Thanks in advance.....

Meanwhile in Louisiana

Quitman Hugh School, Quitman, Louisiana. (The school I taught at)

Ag I students completed Hunters Education with a certification shoot led by biologist with LDWF. It was a fun morning watching the shoot.

REFRESHING!

Oh, don’t seem to have many school shoot-em-ups in Quitman or Weston Louisiana. Just lots of good kids from lots of good families. Makes one wonder why Louisiana is always the butt of jokes from those “educated” people from Boston, New York and Los Angeles.

Match barrel . . . Really?

I recently purchased a 21" 1:12 match barrel from a dedicated .22LR small business operator.
I also bought the bolt buffer, add on weights for the buffer, bolt silencer and other stuff to make
the AR-22 build more accurate. I have fired close to 500 rds of a variety of ammo beginning with
the bulk ammo of Federal 36gn 1200ish fps along with Brownings offerings and Aguila, CCI and
Blazer of about the same velocity. Also, I shot some SK auto match, Federal auto match and some
Norma tac-22 and CCI standard velocity ammo. The best grouping I could get was about 2" @50yds.
This is not what I was expecting from a "MATCH" barrel. I am very disappointed to say the least in the
accuracy of this "MATCH" barrel. I emailed the owner of the business who has these barrels made for
him and got about every excuse possible for the lack of accuracy like;
What scope are you using?
CCI standard velocity is the bare minimum for any accuracy.
It takes about 500 rds to get a good season on the barrel before the accuracy would settle in.
What lots am I firing?
Look . . . I get that some ammo is more accurate than another, but 500rds . . . really?
I bought a Savage axis xp in 6.5 CM and was getting MOA with Winchester white box right after unboxing.
What I'm getting at is. Am I expecting too much from what is supposed to be a match grade barrel?
To me it sounds like someone not standing behind their product and blaming anything else except themselves.
Some insight here would be helpful so as to not let this negativity get out of control.
I've seen some of the pics you guys have posted of pages of targets with 1/2" groups.

SOLD SAC/Surgeon Built Armalite .260 rem CAG Trials Rifle

Up for sale is a small piece of history, In the early 2010's, CAG wanted .260 rifles to match their surgeon CSR's, SAC & Armalite came up with this rifle. This is a truly hand built, custom, semi-automatic rifle. For the ultimate in precision, performance, and exclusivity, the Armalite CAG Trials Rifle, a rare collaboration between SAC (Specialized Armaments Corporation) and Armalite, chambered in .260 Remington. This rifle was meticulously crafted for the demanding selection process of CAG, and to my knowledge, only four rifles were ever produced. If you're a serious collector, operator, or enthusiast, this is an opportunity to own a piece of military history. The rifle looks to be only test fired, there are a few small knicks and marks from being stored in a safe. The only other one on the market that I have seen, is currently for sale for $25k.

SOLD Shipped. Comes as pictured with a KAC 10rd mag.
Venmo F&F or bank wire only.


Please inquire for more information and pictures.

Higher quality trimmers worth it?

I’m fine with paying for top quality equipment. Right now I’m using the Frankford arsenal trimmer. I’ve been eyeing a gen 3 Henderson. With all the extras it’s around $1100. Ouch. I understand it’ll save a bit of time over the Frankford, is there any noticeable difference as far as es and sd go?
I personally just trim, debur/chamfer one time and then only chamfer/debur if the brass gets dinged up.

Large Gun Safe

OK, looking into spending some money on a newSafe. Currently have one from tractor supply but with a pending divorce and my wife potentially keeping the house and me moving to a condo. I would just leave the Safe at her house and upgrade to get something better with stronger fireproof. What brands should I be looking at, is liberty as good as it used to be? Here’s what I currently have. I would like one at least this size or larger.
Don’t mind the homemade rosary beads for my grandmother who passed away a few years ago.

SOLD SOLUS OBSIDIAN ACTION, 6.5 BA, 17 COMP CHASSIS WITH WEIGHTS

Selling my Solus Obsidian to consolidate my actions. 180rd through the BA. The bolt lift is nice and light on this one vs the standard Solus. Shooting 0.5” with factory and 0.3” with hand loads. I can provide load devs. Pricing is as follows:

**UPDATE: The everything is sold**
  • Obsidian Action, Area419 bolt-knob, 419 bolt-adapter and factory bolt-knob: $690
  • Add the Solus 22” 6.5cm Barrel: $200
  • Add the TT Single Stage trigger: $100
  • Add the Solus Action Wrench: $70
  • Add the 17in ODG Competition Chassis, NVG mount, 4x SRS m-lok weight: $670
You know how it is, the action must go first. Shipping and insurance are on me to US50 but your FFL must be able to receive from an individual or add $40 to ship the action. The only trades that I'm looking for are barrels for CDG/Maus/Arch, American Rifle Co actions and a XLR C6 buttstock.
