SH Lingo, Acronyms, Abbreviations, Verbology, Slang

I thought a primer might be helpful for others like myself who aren't experts on SH lingo, slang, verbology, acronyms, and abbreviations:

1) ZCO is AT and I don't mean AI-AT (No AI doesn't mean Ackley Improved in this usage) The "AT" is for Austria, a.k.a. AUT. (No, Australia is AU or AUS, )

2) TT is CA as in Can (Not "can" as in suppressor) and not CA/Calif nor CA/Chromatic Aberration (Not TT/Trigger Tech of CA/Can, nor TT/True Temper)

3) SB is DE as in Germany unless you're talking about the other SB then it's CZ (no not CZ guns of CZ)

4) LRI/Long Rifles Inc is CD of SD/South Dakota not to be confused with LRF/Laser Range Finder

5) MPA (not MPI/Metallic Particle Inspection) is GA, not to be confused with GAP of MO nor to be confused with MDT of CA.

6) Barrett is not to be confused with Beretta nor BT/Brugger Thomet

7) SF/SureFire is CA/Calif and not CA/Can, although SF does make CANS/Suppressors. SF is not to be confused with SF/Surefeed mags nor SF/Special Forces. (*SoF is NOT to be confused with SF*)

8) SD is a bullet specification and not SD/South Dakota except when SD is South Dakota

9) MT/Montana is a great place but MT/MagTech isn't great ammo

10) 7.62 is NATO except when it's x54 or x39- then it's Rusky

11) Lowlight is Frank Galli not to be confused with the light conditions term lowlight, nor to be conflated with the Galli family of Brooklyn NY

12) Zeiss is Zeiss except when Leica also means Zeiss. But Zeiss almost never means Leica

13) Aimpoint is not to be confused with the sighting term Point Of Aim/POA

14) BO means Badger Ordnance not Barrack Obama



-------- More will be added --------

What was the tread that guy wrote that's survived the Bosnian war?

I can't remember exactly and it obvious wasn't on here, it was some preper forum. It's a well known story but I can't find it again. It was a guy that didn't speak very good English but people were asking him questions and he was describing everything that happened to him and his family during the Bosnian civil war and how they survived.

Does anyone have a link to it?

Melanoma :(

Went to the dermatologist last week for the first time in my life (I'm 33)

They took 2 biopsies, they called today and said the one from my back was positive for melanoma. Derm said it was a hair bigger than whatever they sliced out for the biopsy so they are sending me to a specialist to get the rest of it. The spot was small, maybe Mike & Ike sized if being generous.

Was on my lower back area, which is odd because that sees very little sunlight. Assumed it was a birth mark or just a spot.

I'm kind of freaked out, who the fuck get's skin cancer on their ghost white low back?

Firearms Stockpiled stuff for sale thread (updated 6-13-24)

I have a decent amount of "stuff" piled up that I want to sell. I will probably add to this list some small things as I organize my crap better.

If it is an NFA item it is still parked on a Form 3, not on a Form 4. Any NFA thing below, or any firearm, I'll ship for $25 to your FFL from my FFL.

As people request photos, I'll come back and update this thread with whatever picture I take. Make me an offer if you'd like something. If you (a) recently registered here; (b) speak in weird phrases or use weird words (like beginning your PM with "greetings"); or (c) have no feedback, don't be shocked if I just don't reply to you. I probably won't sell you anything.

Firearms BAT 33XC SPF

BAT model M single shot action with McMillan stock and Jewel trigger. This rifle has a Chanlynn 28” barrel with 9.7” twist and brake. I had this rifle built many years ago as a 338 LM and broke in the barrel meticulously back then with 40 rounds. That is all that the barrel and action have on them. I had it rechambered to the 33XC and haven’t shot it as such.
$3100
Only trades ZCO 4-20, S&B ultra short, Kahles 3-18. Would like a Horus or grid style reticle for holding over/off with N/V clip on.

So my daughter is heading off to college...

Looking for thoughts/opinions/experiences on what I need to compile for her in an emergency kit to keep in her car.

The drive will be 2 hours, and a great deal of it will be through the countryside. Cell service is good the entire way. She will never be too far away for me to drop what I'm doing and go, but it is still up to a 2 hour drive.

So far I'm looking at getting her the Cabela's gear bag and fill it with the following:

Edit: Jumper Cables are already in the car

1. Basic ratchet and socket set - sae and metric
2. Flashlight - battery operated - not rechargeable
3. Whistle -
4. Road flare
5. Reflective safety cone or triangle?
6. Duck tape
7. Electrical tape
8. Screws drivers or a driver handle with a box of different bits
9. Gloves
10. Pepper Spray in bag
11. Knife or utility knife
12. Paracord
13. Alcohol wipes
14. Bandaids
15. Glue?
16. Pliers - maybe channel locks

My wife also wants her to have some sort of personal protection weapon to keep on her. I will check into the school's policys, but she wants to go with an telescoping baton. I already understand if someone takes a weapon from you it can be used on you. Just looking for thoughts or what you may have done for your child, or if you are a college student what do you have?

Thank you in advance.

Budget 223 Bolt Action Trainer. Howa 1500 or RemArms 700?

Hello all!

6.5cm has become too expensive to shoot at this time, I don't reload as I do not have the time/space to reload at home. I plan to practice in the time being with a 223 bolt gun until I relocate and have the time/space to reload.

I have been drawn to the Brownell's Howa 1500 .223 barreled action or even the Howa 1500 .223 in the Oryx chassis as it comes from the factory. My requirements are pretty basic, threaded barrel for a comp and an Arca rail. I understand the barreled action now comes in a mini action as opposed to the short action they used to. I am not too worried as I do not plan to spend too much on aftermarket chassis parts or parts more commonly found in the short action configuration.

I also see Remington is back again with their post bankruptcy line of 700 rifles. But it does look like I'll be spending more money replacing the Hogue stock whereas I am good to go with a ~$900 Howa in Oryx chassis. Added bonus with Rem is their rifles now all come standard with a Timney trigger.

Anyone have any input as to whether this is a decent choice to move forward with?

Thanks y'all!
