Quick question. I recently bought my first AI rifle. A new AT in 308 (thanks for the great deal EuroOptic). I noticed that there is more internal length in these mag than in the AICS mags. Haven’t reloaded in a few years. Is conventional wisdom still stretching the round out as long as possible within the constraints of the mag? I’ve had some great 308s in the past, and have some decent data from those as far as where I’m going to start with load development, but if anyone was willing to share what they’re using for overall length, or charges of varget for Sierra 175’s, I’m a factory AI-AT 308 with the 24” barrel, I’d love to consider that as well. Thanks!

Terminus Kratos X action .590 bolt face with 40 MOA Base mated to a Bartlein 1-8 mod BB (new shit) carbon fiber barrel. Cut with 300nm ASR reamer and finished @20” by Bartlein. 250 rounds through- $2050

*TRIGGER AND BOLT GONE* All that remains is the action with 223 bolt and A419 knob and action wrench.

Selling an Impact 737R action with 223 bolt with less than 200 rounds on it. It’s factory form except for an Area 419 bolt knob. Like new condition.

Action has a like new (was purchased new for this action) Triggertech Special 2 stage pro curved trigger, and I also have a like new Impact brand action wrench and a brand new Impact 308 bolt assembly minus knob. Any standard knob fits it.

Package deal for everything $2050 shipped to your FFL or $2000 FTF in the Tampa area.

308 bolt and trigger has been sold. Everything else still available.

Action with 223 bolt and action wrench $1400 shipped FIRM. This is a $300 savings off a new action and wrench after shipping and tax.

Part out prices:

$450 shipped 223 bolt with knob.
$225 shipped trigger *SOLD*
$110 shipped action wrench.
$950 shipped action.

Payment via Zelle, Venmo, USPS MO, or certified/cashiers check only. NO PAYPAL.

***300 blk kit spf***
***X lower and 556 kit sold***

As the title states I have two ready to coat and build up parts kits of the Noveske Devgru Rifles, 100% clone correct. One lower is an "X" prefix older styled roll marked gen 1, the other a cureent generation "W" marked one. Would like to sell both kits together, but if one goes before the other, first buyer gets pick of lower and caliber.
$2250 per kit without geissele trigger, add $200 for trigger. Buy both of $4300 w/o FCG, add $150 per trigger if kits bought together.
Will accept Paypal F&F, Zelle, USPS MO, and Check (ship when clear). Buyer pays actual shipping charges.

***won't split and sell individual parts unless everything is spoken for***



*opted to use geissele buffer springs for no "sprong", clone correct is any milspec buffer spring, thats a real easy cheap fix.

I know this has been beat to death. On a leupold VX 3HD 6.5x20x40 EFF with the parallax set correctly at 200 ydrs Zero at 12X. This is on a rem 700 .270 deer hunting rifle. Wood there be that big of a difference of POI say at 350/400yrds if parallax was left at 200? Wood changing the power to 20X or back to 6.5 make that big a difference? The numbers on the EFF are close to the actual range but not exact. I would just as soon leave the parallax set where it is and just worry about the range. I know this has been discussed many times. Thanks for any/all replies.. Rob

Legacy hires? Admitted pedophile? Liars? All of the above? Not a problem. According to the article they only require you to take a lie detector test. You don't have to pass it. Kinda makes you wonder about the rest of the alphabet. <<<---- No, No it doesn't.
Fucking Unbelievable!!!

Thinking hard about picking up a 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-road. The 2024 models are only available with turbo 4cyls. I’m not really digging that.

Any Tacoma owners on here? I don’t need anything bigger at the moment. The Tacoma should handle the farms and hunting needs for me here in PA.

Just got a bore scope and this is an inch from the chamber. Thoughts?

Hey y'all this is my first post unfortunately. I was about to mount a Razor Gen II 3-18 I just bought off of @xxflyingturtlexx (great condition and nice packaging btw no issue there), on a bergara b14 hunter .300wm that I had the barrel threaded by someone in MS who seems to be a wannabe gunsmith. I am attaching pics to show the damage caused to my crown. I ran a qtip inside the barrel and the burred edges were so sharp it cut the qtip in half! Glad I didn't start shooting...

Unfortunately the man would not back up his work so I am going to take it to someone who is competent. Let this be a warning to those are considering taking their property to an unknown smith. I learned my lesson the hard way..

Anyone watch last night and if so, what did y'all think? I thought Pence came off like the back-stabbing swamp dweller that he is. I thought DeSantis did pretty well. The rest, meh.

I Noticed this in a CNN youtube clip.

However 2:10 in the video is the highlight.

I’m hearing rumors about the Brandon Admin bringing back COVID restrictions later this year. Masks, social distancing, lockdowns & all the useless bullshit from last time.

Anyone hearing similar shit?

Crazy Mofo's in this world.


Seattle police arrest burglary suspect found chugging gasoline in victim's garage, bodycam video shows

Curious to hear some thoughts on this.

Particularly from @BurtG

Sucky renters have more rights than property owners.
Squatters have more rights than property owners (took a long time to have eviction done)
All Popo are evil and bad.

Who shoulda won in this?
Who are the good guys?
Who are the bad guys?

Or are cops good when they enforce laws you agree with?
Or still suck, but happy to have them do the eviction work?

Earlier this year my brother passed away, he had several medical issues. Now that his affairs are all settled I ended up receiving an inheritance of just over a thousand dollars.
I'm looking to use this money to buy something that I will keep as it will always remind me of my brother. So I'm looking for ideas/ suggestions on possible things to get. If you have an idea for something cool or unique please share.

Through some sickness I picked up too many 2011 style platforms and shoot one, maybe two of them. This one is on the chopping block and I’ll tell you ask much as I can about it.

- Built by Prasky Gunworks here in Michigan. His slide fit to a STI lower.
- 9mm
- Dawson sights
- second owner. Original was here in Michigan and hardly shot it. He said maybe 100 on this and I would agree with that based on how clean it is.
- it was two tone and that drives me nuts so I just had a fresh cerakote job done on it so it’s all black now. I’m going to shoot it this week just to slick up the surfaces from the fresh coating.

Bought 3 brand new magazines for it that will be included. Haven’t even loaded these yet.

Asking $2500 shipped and insured but open to all sorts of trades on this one.

Trades:
- lighter weight or just a shorty 6 creed or 308 barreled action. Have a stock here but my MTU doesn’t fit in it. Needs to be 700 footprint.
- pistol/rifle optics of about any flavor. Mil preferred if possible for scopes.
- could use a nice tactical/three gun style 12 gauge. Something like a 1100 Tac, 1301, m3 or m4, etc
- long range boomer. Can add cash and not too picky about caliber as long as it is mag fed and not single shot.
- 223, 6 creed or 308 match ammo
- 223 or 9mm blasting ammo
- any flavor SK 22 LR
- could even use a nice pair of 10.5-11 leather work/hiking boots
- R700 SA RH chassis that can fit a MTU barrel. Something more comp related like a W3, ACC, AI AX etc.

AG Alpine Hunter right handed stocks
Origin SA or other Rem 700 Short action clones
Proof sendero
Hawkins m5
2 flush cups left side
Tripod holes
2 sling studs front, 1 rear

Selling one of my favorite rifles because I just picked up a second Bergara in trade and won't be shooting both. This gun is a blast to shoot suppressed and I've never had issues with it cycling a variety of suppressed ammo. It loves SK match ammo and will shoot a ragged dime at 50 yards with it.

I would say I've put right around 500 rounds through it. I'll give it a light cleaning before selling, but overall everything is in good shape.

Threaded 1/2x28 and ready to run suppressed if you so desire.

It will come as a package ready to go. Not interested in splitting up at the moment.

- Bergara BXR Carbon Fiber
- Comes with 3 Ruger magazines (uses 10/22 pattern mags)
- Knockoff Harris bipod
- leupold rimfire rings
- Primary Arms P416X (predecessor to the PLX 4-14 and a better scope in my opinion)

No ammo included but I've got plenty of Aguila Super Extra I can sell with it if desired.

$725 shipped for the package above.

Trades:
- 6mm, 223, or 308 match ammo
- 223 or 9mm target ammo
- Walther Q4 or 5 SF (will add cash of course)
- Sig P226 or 229 9mm railed (can add cash depending on exact model)
- AR accessories like quality triggers, handguards, barrels, uppers, etc
- Complete ARs. Put together combos from your garage are fine with me as long as they cycle
- optics of almost any flavor. Could use some more AR optics (red dot or LPVO or lower mag like 2-10...willing to add cash here too)

Want to be the ultimate retro hipster at your 3-gun matches? Want to do shotgun drills with your friends but are tired of Benelli M4s and Beretta 1301s? How about a semi-auto shotgun designed by John Moses Browning himself and dubbed his crowning achievement? Up for sale is an all-matching Remington Model 11 (12ga) in excellent condition with all original components plus an optional +3 magazine tube extension. The +3 extension is a non-permanent mod (depicted in 2nd photo) that can be swapped in by the buyer without any alternation to the shotgun itself. The shotgun will ship in its original military configuration along with all parts necessary to swap between configs. These haven't been made in over 50 years but remain some of the most pointable, fastest-cycling shotguns out there today. This example retains almost ALL of its bluing, and the bore is excellent, which is very rare for other examples of this age. Additionally, the wood handguard is free of any cracks, which is a telltale sign that the gun has not been abused with hot loads or incorrect friction ring setup.

However what really sets this example apart are the "flaming bomb" and "crossed cannons" markings on the receiver and stock to indicate that this was procured by the U.S. military during WW2. So what you're getting is a classy, old-school shotgun with a military pedigree that can keep pace with the military self-loaders of today.

Well I have a buddy who bought a fierce rouge 7prc. The rifle looks nice but…. When you use factory hornady precision hunter 175gn ammo you need a strong hand to open the bolt.. inspection of the brass and you find extreme ejector marks and it’s cutting brass/swiping them. Had another friend with a new customer prc try the same ammo and no issue. I feel bad that a company can charge 2k for a gun and it’s this wrong… really how does it ever leave their factory with this big of an issue. I will attach a photo of the brass when I get one and some findings when I get a chance to mic some fired brass. At this point the guns a danger to shoot. Anyone else run into this yet

I think I have finally figured out my SPR build and I just wanted to ask if there are any parts you would change. Currently waiting on a Scionics NP3 BCG so that I can send it off to CLE to match to a barrel.

Build List

CLE 18" Bartlein MK12 barrel (Unless someone convinces me to go Krieger)
Scionics NP3 BCG
Radian Builders kit (Will a 14 inch rail be to long to run a OCM5?)
Geissele SSAE
Radian Raptor SD
Radian Talon
OCL Flash hider and collar
Vltor A5H2 buffer with Sprinco Green spring
Vltor Buffer Tube
OCM5
ATACR 4-16
Area 419 ARCA rail

Any recommendations for gas tubes and gas blocks?

Anything you would change? Im mainly going with a Radian builders kit because I can buy one straight from a distributor and I know they make quality shit, though I do like the look of the G$ Mk16 rail better. Would it be beneficial to go with some sort of thermal fit upper or would it not make that much of a difference?

Also thoughts on Apache Rifle Works for building it? I would rather pay someone to do it right than have to fuck with it myself, especially considering my fingers have the dexterity of a dead person.

TIA
