Open to trades

Just a thumbs up for short-bus painted a stock for me and it turned out great!



Just talking to him and I knew he was solid!

Made a trade locally. Moving on to something else now.

is anyone using "lighter" projectiles in their 6.5 CM bolt guns? I'm looking at 95gr v-max and maybe some of the 100's from Hornady for coyotes at 500 and closer. I've got a few pounds of IMR 4895 and the Hodgden load data indicates that it's a good powder for lighter projectiles.

On a completely different note, anybody tried the Hornady 130 ELD M's?

Thanks in advance and God bless America.

I have 21 boxes of 6 ARC Hornady 108 ELD - M of all the same lot.

Looking to keep all of it together.

Prosecutors in Colorado plan to drop charges against a registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a child from an elementary school because he was found incompetent to stand trial.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which covers Arapahoe County and includes Aurora and Littleton, informed FOX31 on Friday that it intends to dismiss charges against Solomon Galligan. The 33-year-old faces one count of attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to take an 11-year-old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in April 2024.

Aurora police previously reported that Galligan is a registered sex offender, with his registration tied to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office.

Awesome upper with approximately 200 rounds through the tube.

Curious about the manufacturing chain.

If most of our Nitrocellulose is imported, is most of what we’re doing actually just postprocessing?

Like, different retardants for different rounds?

Couldn’t find any good articles online.

Listened to this today on a road trip. What a complete POS this guy is.

Constantly talks about himself like he's the messiah and nobody, I mean nobody does it better than him and California. He likes the smell of his own farts.

He's attempting to rebrand himself ahead of the next Presidential election without actually telling you he is going to run. All of a sudden he's against trans people in women's sports, likes fossil fuels, and guns.

He was gifted a Sig pistol at the start of the show, too bad it wasn't a P320....

I'd really like to keep this local due to weight, size, # of boxes, hazmat...

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not into reloading, after collecting a bunch of stuff! Things listed as used have been used for about 400 rounds of 223, with the exception of the case gage, maybe a dozen or so. Priced to sell as a lot, a couple thousand below sale prices: $5500 $5000 OBRO ftf.

I'd consider a partial trade for a ZCO 527, maybe other high end scopes, or a decent spotting scope.



Mixed brass is mostly 223, 6.5C, and 308. Some is separated, some not.

Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement.

Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance.


Image via ChatGPT
Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist society has achieved a level of plenty or freedom comparable to America.

A Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March found that “62 percent of American adults under 30 say they hold favorable views of socialism.” Rasmussen Reports observed a similar sentiment this past May, with 50% of voters under 30 indicating they want a democratic socialist to win the next presidential election.
Why are so many young Americans falling for it?



To be clear, this movement isn’t rooted in careful study of history or economics. It’s fueled by emotion rather than reason. It thrives because too many young people have been raised to believe that discomfort equals injustice and that government is the answer to every problem.
Today’s young adults have grown up in a culture that promotes victimhood instead of resilience. From K-12 schools to college campuses, they have been taught that life is unfair, that capitalism is oppressive, and others—corporations, the wealthy, or “the system”—cause their struggles.




They’re told that if they can’t afford a house, it’s due to capitalism. If they have student debt, it’s because they’ve been “exploited.” If they feel anxious or unfulfilled, it must be because of inequality or climate change. In this worldview, personal responsibility is an afterthought, and government redistribution is viewed as the ultimate solution.
Enter socialism, stage left.



It’s no coincidence that today’s youth know more about TikTok trends than about the gulags of the Soviet Union or the starvation in Mao’s China. Schools have stopped teaching the harsh truths about socialism’s brutal legacy. Instead, they focus on sanitized stories about “equity,” “social justice,” and “collective good,” often blending them with moral superiority and “safe spaces” for those who are easily offended.
This isn’t just a failure of the education system; it’s a deliberate ideological project. Young people aren’t truly being educated. Instead, they’re being indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is the problem, not the answer.
Critics often point out economic issues like increasing student debt, rising housing costs, and stagnant wages as failures of capitalism. However, the irony is that many of these problems are actually made worse by government interference, not market forces.
A few generations ago, few, if any, students graduated with significant educational debt. A middle-class family lived in a home, had two cars, a stay-at-home mom, and could pay the bills as well as save.
The federal government subsidized student loans and drove up tuition costs. Local governments limit housing through zoning and regulations. Inflation? Blame the government’s focus on spending and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies.
Capitalism didn’t fail. It was undermined by bureaucrats, regulators, and central planners. Now, the same group that caused the problems claims they will fix them by increasing their own power. That’s not progress; it’s a power grab.
As we see with Big Pharma, the government creates the problem and then sells the cure, except that the solution is often worse than the original problem.
One of the left’s favorite tactics is pointing to countries like Sweden and Denmark as “proof” that socialism works. However, these countries are not socialist. They have capitalist economies with high taxes and generous welfare systems, supported by a strong work ethic, homogeneous populations, and increasingly strict immigration controls, factors the American left would never endorse.
In Denmark, the top marginal income tax rate is 55%. Additionally, there is a 25% VAT on nearly all goods and services. The high taxes on income and spending support generous welfare benefits, maternity leave, subsidized housing, and more.
Try replicating that model here, with our open borders, declining labor participation, and cultural fragmentation, and you’ll end up with Venezuela or Cuba, not Stockholm or Helsinki.
What’s most concerning is that socialism is no longer viewed as a radical idea. It has been rebranded and marketed to young people as kind, fair, and compassionate. But socialism, even in its “democratic” form, is fundamentally coercive. It expands government power, limits economic freedom, and suppresses dissent. History shows where it ultimately leads - shortages, stagnation, and government surveillance.
New York City could soon resemble Havana if residents elect Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Mamdani campaigned on a platform that included a “$30 minimum wage, tax hikes on businesses and the rich, and other policies like creating city-owned grocery stores and imposing a rent freeze for stabilized tenants.”
The left isn’t giving young people independence. It’s offering dependence with a smile—a life where the government pays your bills but also controls your future. Or as the World Economic Forum promises, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”
The solution isn’t to shout, “communism bad” and walk away. It’s to engage, educate, and expose the lie. Conservatives must explain, clearly and confidently, why capitalism is the most moral and effective system ever devised. It rewards merit, encourages innovation, and protects freedom.
We also need to stop surrendering the culture war. This involves reforming education, fighting ideological bias in the media and universities, and encouraging young Americans to see themselves not as victims of the system, but as capable individuals responsible for their own future.
America’s future is at risk. Only 36% of Democrats feel extremely or very proud to be American, down from 80% a decade ago. Among young Americans, the Gen Zers, only 24% are proud to be American, compared to 32% who have little or no pride.
In contrast, 92% of Republicans are proud to be American, a number slightly higher than it was ten years ago.
Nature abhors a vacuum. When half the country hates America, they will gladly embrace something very un-American, namely, socialism.
Socialism flourishes when honesty is absent. Our duty is to speak the truth openly and confidently. Because if we don’t, we could soon live in a country where freedom isn’t the norm but the exception.


WE HAVE RAISED TWO GENERATIONS OF IDIOTS!

When I ordered this, I was not sure how much I'd use it, so I left it in its box for a very long time, unopened. Eventually, I decided to open it and go ahead and "mount" it (more on that later) to a new rolling 84" toolbox I kept in my finished/HVAC-controlled walk-out basement. I only used it to mount two muzzle devices (one on an AXSA barrel and one on a PredatOBR barrel). I only ever used the "V" inserts. I never used the "gold" ARCA or Picatinny jaws, and I never used the aluminum soft jaws. Again, the only thing I used were the V-inserts. I kept a microfiber towel between the two gold jaws to make sure they ever touched each other.

To double underscore how little it was used, I never actually mounted it to the toolbox. I have some fancy black MDF that I cut into three sections so that there would be modularity, but those there MDF sections never got mounted to the toolbox, so it was only ever mounted to pieces of black MDF that were not even attached to the top of the rolling tool box. . . . all of that is to say that If I were doing any "real" work with this, I would have had to actually mount it to something that wouldn't move.

Because of the very, very little use and my anticipated future needs for it (which are basically none) what I ended up doing was decided to put this up for sale and ordered a Short Action Customs Barrel Vise for when I need to do barrel work.

This vise is SMOOTH (and it should be for what they cost).

The vise will come with a second mounting base (which cost $150). As you can see in the second-to last picture, there is a corner of the first base that must have been dropped at the Orange factory - it does not affect the use at all, and if you orient it to the rear, you never even see it. When I asked Area 419 about it, they sent me a second base for the trouble. The second base was never used.

The Orange Vises are now $2,000 by themselves WITHOUT Area419 kit and the extra base.

So, my asking price is going to be $2050 shipped fully insured CONUS. I know that's steep, but Orange is located in California, so they're dealing with not just inflation, but also the cost of doing business under that regime.

Has anyone else had a problem with a DNT 7-35x56 not holding zero? My turrets do not "settle" between clicks. I have been using this scope for a few months now and have yet to get repeatable results meaning about every 6-10 rounds of 22lr I get about a 0.5 inch flyer. At first I thought ammo. Same ammo shoots without flyers in another rifle (Vudoo). This scopes on a CZ457. I should have swapped scopes but instead I somehow was convinced it was the barrel. I just replaced the barrel and it's THE SAME. I have another scope coming tomorrow so that should determine if it's the scope definitively. I'll post findings as soon as I can swap scopes, using the one on my Vudoo, Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 which the combo shoots perfect.

Anyone else had similar issues?

At least it feels the same kind of witchcraft as reading tea leaves. Unsure the degree to which it's possible but I'm looking for help reading the targets and determining most likely points of error in my shooting. I'm struggling to shoot consistent groups and to rein in the flyers.

I seem be able to put 2-3 on or near one another, then the remainder are usually either high but about on horizontally, or high and right. From time to time get one or two a bit left.

To build the position, I lay down directly behind the rifle so that the centerline of the rifle is about directly under my left eye. Place firing hand in the grip of the stock, lift the rifle up (no grip/squeeze) and bring the butt downwards into the shoulder while setting the rear bag. Adjust the bag fore and aft to achieve desired POI (smaller adjustment, macro already achieved with bipod height).

The last target I shot with firing hand further down the grip and trigger finger really low on the trigger, basically brushing the trigger guard. This seems to have improved the on-target result some.

On the fliers, when the shot breaks, I can't tell what's going on. Like I don't observe the reticle on the target where the bullet impacts. With a pistol I immediately can tell when/why I shanked one, but here, they feel good.

The targets:
All shot at 100 yards
Dots are IIRC 5/8", pasters from a Shoot N See
5 shots

Each group I completely reset position.

Met up with a (woman) friend, her (woman) friend and kids last night for live music and fireworks show. I'm about 2 minutes away and she texts me, "can you bring a blanket and/or chairs or did you leave already?". Well I certainly didn't bring any blankets --honestly I figured the women would

I thought about it a minute and said, not to worry, I got just the ticket here right with me, I do.

Now I didn't have a blanket, specific, but I did have a MidwayUSA deluxe competition shooting mat and a folding chair! I get to the spot, unroll that mat, she takes a sit, moves around a little and says "ooh this is nice!"
