Precision Rifle Gear RRS SC DUO

Had no idea RRS had this until this week, these are money to mount accessories to your rails.

Co Witness is surprisingly close to on even with no aiming. I can put a telephone pole in the fov so you don’t have to hunt for it, it’s comfortable at 20x to transition between them.

I will have a video explainer tomorrow

Officers shoot homeowner after going to wrong address

Short long of it, officers responded to a call, went to the wrong address, the homeowner opened the door in the middle of the night with a firearm, the officers shot him on the spot(and killed him).
1) I haven’t seen the body cam footage because they haven’t released it, but I’ve gone to the door a few times after a knock in the middle of the night, and I highly doubt this guy opened the door with the muzzle pointed out, like myself I would bet the gun was at his side.
2) If you can’t verify the address you probably shouldn’t be a police officer.
3) I’m so sick of statements after something like this happens that say what this police chief said after, the normal we feel for the family, then of course the standard we are investigating. What exactly are you investigating that would take longer than watching the video? The facts are not in dispute, your officers were at the wrong address. You already have statements from everyone there, read the statements, watch the 2 or 3 body cam videos and say what happened. I’m well aware they are just trying to put time in between the act and themselves hoping it will go away, but that’s exactly what makes me sick. I suspect they didn’t like the facts the body cam presented, so we get the blanket we feel for the families and now we need a lengthy investigation on something that is apparently obvious.

Ar15 5.56 77smk going transonic

Rifle is shooting 77gr SMK’s at 2783 fps muzzle, I am at sea level. My ballistic app says between 750-800 yards it was going transonic and I guess it didn’t lie. I shot earlier at 790 yards and noticed my 1/2-3/4 moa rifle was struggling to consistently hit a 1.5 moa plate. I kinda thought the 77 SMK would handle the transition better but maybe not. Any other experience especially at sea level? will the 77 gr TMK handle it any better? i noticed it would only gain me about 75 yards at the same velocity.

Teens pretty much take control of Chicago streets

Teens in mass terrorizing who ever is on the streets, stealing what they wish, vandalizing in mass, but these are the ones companies should be forced to hire because the only reason they haven’t gotten ahead is their lack of opportunity due to their skin color or gender. Of course the mayor just basically says it’s not that bad they are misunderstood.

You helped in the bedroom, now I need your help with a grill…

Y’all were right about the bamboo bedsheets…

…so now it’s time for a grill. We are moving out of the worst HOA (AKA base housing…eww I know right? Like totally a poor commune… ew) and I need a new grill.

I was leaning towards a blackstone but I was worried about not getting a good sear on my steaks, which is a weekly event.

Wife was like “just get a large cast iron top for a regular grill” but I dunno. Never had a blackstone and a lot of peeps speak highly of them. Others recommend a smoker but I don’t have the time to get into that (matches and crying about the results of said matches takes up most of my time).


Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Talk amongst yourselves…

Sidearms & Scatterguns Educate me on this 1911 - Camp Peary?

If anyone has info I’d appreciate it! I was told this is a 1911 built for Camp Peary. It’s on a 1918 Colt frame (per Colt SN lookup). Textured front/back grip, top, and in front of trigger guard. Larger dovetail safety, enlarged magazine release and slide release.

Any information would be great appreciated! Is it actually made for Camp Peary? Who would have built this? Approx. value?

How to build a device that will do popup targets and then drop them.

A friend and fellow member here has occasional shoots at his farm and we're always looking for new ideas for challenges. I thought to make a little divice, inexpensively, that could be put behind a rock or log and an unknown distance, then have it pop up and the shooter only has say 15 seconds to identify, range, aim, and fire. Inexpensive is important. Simple remote control would be nice. Come on you engineers. Other ideas welcome.

20 Rd mags - what are people using?

I have a bunch of 30 round mags for my KAC SR-15, but looking to get some 20 rounders for prone shooting and steel Safari matches.

#1 priority is reliability. From my cursory research people loved the OKAY industry mags, which have recently gone out of business. I've heard the first gen magpuls were iffy, I'm assuming the new ones are GTG?

I hear mixed things about pretty much all other 20 rounders on the market.

Firearms MODS PLEASE CLOSE

I tried PRS and realized it's not for me. All goods listed are in 95%+ condition and most are like new; check my feedback, I take care of my things. Pricing reflects the scarcity of most of these items and the wait times to have barrel blanks available, machine work done, etc. I will not respond to low-ball offers and I'm not interested in trades. FTF deals in central VA are possible, but only for considerable purchases. I won't drive 50 miles to sell a $25 expander, in other words.

To reiterate; BUYER PAYS ACTUAL SHIPPING COST, NO TRADES

DIE
6 BR 2.5 sizing die from Harrell's: $125 new, has been ground by them for more bump on new brass to fire-form to 6 BRA, no bushing, has comparator - - - $50

bump die.jpg


RIFLE (bag, bipod, and ARCA mount are not for sale - - - scope and mount are listed separately)
MBM Super Beast II brake (x2, both nitrided at my expense), Hawk Hill 1.250" contour barrels (x2 identical, second barrel still wrapped from Alex Wheeler) at 26" with no-turn 6 BRA chambers and 1:7.5" twist, 3/4-24 muzzle threads, Defiance Deviant Elite action, Manners PRS-TCS in gloss High Plains (modified by Manners to accept long tenon Deviant Elite action) with all weights and LOP shims/Sike clutch and rail on both sides/KNW long posts for cheek riser, Triggertech Diamond pro curved single stage which was timed by Alex Wheeler; all machine work and assembly completed by Alex Wheeler, shoots in the .2s for 5 rounds since fire-forming, 850rds on the present barrel with second barrel brand new, buyer gets LRI muzzle thread protector and second brake NIB at no add'l charge (these items available separately, pricing TBD) - - - $5500, shipped to your FFL (this is the only item which I will pay to ship)
rifle R.jpg

brake and protector.jpg


SCOPE AND MOUNT (sold separately from rifle, but available at a discount if combined with rifle)
Gen 3 Razor 6-36x56 MRAD in 1.18" height MDT one-piece mount - - - all perfect, like new, comes with Vortex Defender caps and MKM caps - - - $2750, will not separate these two items but they may be purchased with the rifle at a discount

One more time: these items are of exceptional quality and unprecedented scarcity. If you want the action alone you'll need to get in line for 12-18 months and pay around $1700 before shipping, without nitride. Barrel blanks are unobtanium, and then you have to consider the wait for chambering, shipping cost/time, etc. I will gladly put this back in the safe and wait for my kid to grow into it before I'll take a beating on the price so don't bother with low-ball or trade offers. Many will ask to separate the stock and barreled action, but I am not willing to separate at this time.

Message here, do not ask for text messages

Texas House passed a bill saying it's illegal to make fun of certain people's hair.

The protected class just got more protected when the Texas House passed the Crown Act, or Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, making it illegal to make comments, make fun of and discriminate against a particular demographic because of their 'natural hair.'

I bet Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters continue to use flat irons.

I'm not sure if it's illegal to comment on weaves.

2023 general mayhem & disaster thread

In an effort to keep track of all the man-made things going on (derailments, explosions, major crashes, protests, etc), thought it might be handy to have a strictly summary thread. Details on events, discussions about them, etc should have their own threads where warranted. This is strictly a one post and done summary to keep a running total of events.

I think keeping weather and shootings and wars would be best served by their own threads, so this will be more of a keeping an eye other stuff.

Format should be: date / location / type of event and one or more official or unofficial references (tweets, articles etc)

Trying to keep as much info in a single post (editing to update, ideally) should be neater than random updates throughout the thread (where possible, of course)

I'll start with a couple tonight:
