So the Dem's who are against owning guns.....can't make it up!

So the Dem's don't want you to have guns but we all know they have them....so two poll workers working for the Dem. Mayor....get into a argument and one shoots the other. Both where armed from what I'm getting out of it all. Can't make it up!

Does it irritate you too?

I get very irritated when I pick up a firearms magazine, turn to an article and find no MSRP listed. I have read several periodicals that have all the listings from the SHOT show and nary a MSRP. The magazine authors write pages of glowing verbiage but fail to give the reader a clue as to whether that particular item is something that the enthusiast can even attempt pondering from a budgetary constraint. Sometimes the manufacturers even put $ TBD in their promotions. If they don't have a clue, how should you or I? I will read the articles about the super pricey offerings at my leisure while daydreaming...Am I the only one that this "oversite" irritates?

SOLD WTS: Nice PVS-14 Thin-filmed Autogated Green- Complete Set-Up!

About a year ago I decided to dip a toe into the NV pool. Although super cool and fun and useful, I have found that I don't use it much, and even though I hate to see it go, I have decided to sell as I need money for bike parts. So not looking for any trades.
I am the third owner of this PVS-14; all owners were long time forum members. The first owner sold it in February 2022; the second owner traded it to me a coupe months later. I can provide "chain-of-custody" info to serious buyers. Very nice green tube with a couple small spots out by the edge. It is a two-battery unit. Works absolutely great. Complete kit including metal padded can, zipper pouch, compass unit, extra battery end housing, two J-arms, amber filter, weapon mount, operator's manual, a couple extra helmet shrouds, lens paper, demist shield, sacrificial lense, and skull crusher head mount. All this is part of the original kit, "issued but unfielded" according to original seller. Second owner said he had about an hour of run time on it; I probably have two hours of time on it.
Also includes Ops Core FAST bump helmet in L/XL with 4D Tactical Zero G Lux liner pads with gel, TNVC Base Jump Lanyard (Wilcox), TNVC Mohawk Gen 2 counterweight, Surefire IR helmet light, Peltor XPI ear pro/ BT comm units with Peltor Gel cups, Norotos Rhino II mount. In addition package includes a minty 3x magnifier with case, and a Larue padded case for -14. Original pads for helmet included.
First seller sale thread here: More Info
$2600 shipped / insured. PayPal F&F preferred.

Picking up my Origin today!

Due to all of you bad influences, plus my buddies who are also probably on this forum, I ordered an Origin short action from Front Range Precision. Its supposed to arrive at my FFL today.


Now I need to make decisions on my barrel. I want a CF barrel so it can be lighter weight. My goal is to have rifle setup sub-12 lbs with scope and bipod.

Anyone know of any carbon-fiber barrel manufacturers other than Proof in that same price range?

GUN LOGIC??

Gun Logic

1 - Eleven teens die each day because of texting while driving. Maybe it's time to raise the age of Smart Phone ownership to 21.

2 - If gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry, USA

3 - The Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.

4 - Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know it.

5 - When JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle.

6 - The NRA (National Rifle Association) murders 0 people and receives nothing in government funds. Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax dollars annually.

7 - While we're at background checks for firearms, let's do the same when it comes to immigration, Voter I.D., and candidates running for office.

8 - Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and probably has a trillion rounds. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. How do you think that would work out?

9 - A man who left 600,000 rifles, 2,000 Armored Vehicles and 40 Aircraft for the Taliban is lecturing folks on gun control.

I have achieved maximum case efficiency!!!

You'll not find a finer example of reloading prowess on earth! All I needed was one piece of once-fired Norma brass, one 140 grain Barnes Match Burner, one Federal Gold Medal Match large rifle primer, and 41.2 grains of Alliant Reloder 16 to defy the laws of physics AND thermodynamics on shot 3! I present to you my finest example of manliness, even besting my many bow kills, my decades of concrete work, and my ability to bench 275!

The weapon mounted LRF conundrum.

Aight, so @sneakypayload and I have been discussing the options (or lack thereof) for weapon mounted LRF. Seems as though it’s either 10k or discontinued. I was bitching about how come Holosun hasn’t ratted some shitty LRF into on of their “laser/IR/wml” housings and made a mediocre quality WMLRF.

Now, I’ll preface by saying, I’m just a dumb pipefitter. I in no way shape or form understand how any of this witchcraft works. But to me, it seems awfully simple to smash one of the thousands of low budget LRFs into an aluminum housing that’s mountable. Like, this doesn’t seem that unobtainable for a sub $500 LRF good for 600 and in. I know some people might scoff at the idea of only 600 yards but for me and my only application of nighttime predator hunting, that would be plenty.

By sure dumb luck, today we came across the Trybe optics diMa 1000 LRF. After scouring the internet, there’s basically zero information about it other than the company sells a LVPO and a clip on magnifier for LVPOs. Optics planet has them on their website for $500. Found one video on Facebook from 21’ of it and looks to be pretty legit. But again, zero information out there about it. Any one have any experience with one? Or is it just a figment of my imagination.

Also feel free to educate my ignorant ass on possibly why there isn’t a poor kid friendly WMLRF.

PA could very well have purposed the dumbest gun law in some time

Video below, but a law currently being purposed in Pennsylvania would require by 2024 that every bullet has to have its own serial number, with that serial number being both etched into the bullet and inside the case. In addition the serial number on the bullet would be required to be able to survive impact after it is fired. Just to top it off any ammunition that isn’t etched with said serial numbers would be illegal as of Jan 2024. I doubt this will pass but given the stupidity of other states lately who knows. But bills like these do point out how unserious they really are about crime, and are much more interested in just bankrupting the gun industry.

SOLD Accuracy International AW-50

Well, I think it's time for this safe queen to find a new home.

This is a very rare find as you don't see an AW-50 often, much less in this condition. As you can see from the pictures, this is a very good condition AW-50, chambered in 50 BMG of course. Total round count: 250.

It will ship in a custom laser cut SKB case (length left on purpose for a much longer barrel, just cut additional foam out) and Accu-Tac HD50 bipod. 2 magazines included. I can include the OEM Parker-Hale bipod if you want it also but it is inferior to the HD50.

Optic and mount pictured are NOT included!

I highly prefer face to face with this, in the Central Texas area (Austin). I will ship of course, and that cost will be up to the buyer. The case is massive. Estimate roughly $450 - insurance will be mandatory, shipped to the FFL of your choice. Obviously if your state does not allow big, mean and nasty 50 BMG purchases then be mindful of that and don't buy it. Promptly pack your belongings and move to a free state, then buy it!

$11,500. Will only accept certified check, wire-transfer or Zelle payment. Cash would be a great option face-to-face.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Advice on moving to the south east vs south west

Long story short my kids are graduating in a few weeks, my house is under contract, and I'm done with the snow and cold in Maine. I grew up in north west Georgia, so the SE is home to me.

My wife and I are relocating this summer. We have been making scouting trips to check out areas of interest and will continue to, but I thought I would ask here to get some hopefully first hand input. Here's the criteria:

We both cycle a lot, I race endurance mountain bikes (I don't do any gravity stuff anymore) and my wife and I enjoy gravel. My wife is really into rock climbing, sport climbing specifically. She loves sandstone.

We have been looking at Western NC (Brevard to Boone), Eastern Tennessee (just west of Chattanooga, and outside Dayton and Wartburg), and extreme South West Virginia as there is good climbing there. We will be making a trip to North Central and North West Arkansas next month. But we are both also interested in Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Utah.

I would love some thoughts and input on the various areas we are looking at. How expensive is the cost of living, what is the political climate is like, how's the weather, etc.

Thanks in advance

Bolt Lug Deformation - Proof SS 6ARC Barrel

Recently put together a 6 ARC gasser using a 22” SS Proof barrel in a Seekins IRMT upper with a new Maxim bolt. It shoots great however, after running a mix of factory 108 Hornady Match and running a load work up with 26.6 gr of 8208 XBR under an 87 gr vmax I found the deformation on the back of the bolt lugs:

This is after approximately 100 rounds. I’m not seeing pressure signs on the brass. Ejection using a suppressor with adjustable gas block, rifle buffer and JP polished/tuned spring is at 3 o’clock. Velocity gave an average of 2823 fps with an sd of 5 so it’s been very consistent. I double checked I wasn’t seating in the lands causing a pressure spike.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Should I run it as is? I also tried a different used no name MPI bolt to see if I got a lemon but came back with almost identical deformation on it after only 30 rounds.

Suppressors Suppressor companies- test fire before shipping?

Have a question for the TBAC people here and any other manufacturers. Do you test fire each suppressor before shipping?

If so, do you clean the suppressor before shipping?

I ask because I received my Ultra 9 Gen 2 recently after a very long wait since last summer and there was residue all over it. It appears as if it was used despite me buying it new and never shooting it myself during the wait.

Is it normal for a brand new suppressor to have shot residue on it?
