Picked up a trigger shoe and it came with a reset spring so heavy it made my trigger twice the pull weight(5lbs). I did the “Bobby pin mod” and now have a 2lb trigger pull(I modified internals). I don’t really want to keep it half ass long term as I don’t like how it torques another spring. so I need to make a 1/2lb or maybe 3/4lb torsion spring(measured by trigger pull when only trigger and reset spring is installed)

How do I go about figuring out the wire diameter needed, is there a formula or have any of y’all done this before?

the company who made it doesn’t seem to understand what “the springs too heavy” means so I guess I’m on my own. I’ve been googling but it’s all crap for garage door springs.

Posted here since more people will see it, any help is appreciated.

Here’s the spring I need to replace

What's the fastest way to remove the military crimp from 4k pieces of 5.56 brass without spending a ton of money to do it?

I know there are machines that can do it in a couple hours, but I'm not spending $2k to do it. Also want something more effective than the phillips head screw driver bit trick.

Thanks!

Should I buy a Curtis vector action? Most of all the posts are a couple years old. Looking for knowledgeable opinions either way. Thanks

Has anyone used the Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18 FFP EBR-7C MRAD. Looks like it might be a great scope for the money.
Thanks for your input’s

Apologies if this was posted previously given how old this is. Found the video interesting.

Anyone that has the "full video" with shots fired, please share.

I don't hunt hogs, but if I did I would consider moving to a semi-auto platform with a red dot.

Used to be that PBS Frontline did some amazing journalism. Lately, like all other so-called journalists, they are just pushing socialism and vilifying anyone who is a Constitution-loving American.

However... this latest two part show they are doing as part of a cooperative investigation undertaken across the world... is not only well-done but downright scary.

It's about the misuse of Pegasus spyware. And how governments are using it... and for some nasty stuff. Part 1:

What is Pegasus you may ask? It is a highly-effective spyware/malware/virus that will infect phones and give users utter access to the lives of the owners of infected devices. And the latest iterations don't even require you to 'click' on a spearfishing attack or similar. Details...


If you think this is not being used against Amercians... by Five Eyes or similar entities? Or by private companies? I'd bet against you.

Now off trying to find out how to 'check' devices...

Pretty fascinating stuff. Makes me yearn for the days of the wall phone and no PC's...

Has anyone who holds an FFL gone through the Firearms Shippers Compliance with either UPS or Fed Ex?

I went through it with UPS and can't access my accounts or add them to my existing account because it ask for a PIN number I do not have.

I'm trying to go through it with Fed-Ex and nobody at customer service seems to know what to do.

I have just been using USPS due to less hassle but it is more expensive.

Have any of you FFL holders been through the process successfully?

UPDATE: Fed-Ex says I don't qualify due to volume.

All sold.

Which would you choose to shoot matches with? I know their 6-36 hasn't been released yet, so this is assuming the new 6-26 will have glass as good as their old 5-25.

I haven't attended a match in a couple years. Are no dial stages still a thing? The Schmidt 6-36 only comes with the GR2ID AND P5FL. For Tangent, I'm mostly interested in the G3XR Fine.

I'm leaning towards the Schmidt with P5FL. What do you think?

Mission: Short action, competition "grade", ground-blind oriented, short barrelled, suppressed hunting rifle.

I own an Impact on an MCS TCS, with a Kahles 6-24 in 6BR. The thing shoots much better than I can, yadda yadda. I'm planning to form 1 the action for this project, if it comes to be.

Seeing how easy-mode the BR variants are, as well as how efficient the case is, I don't see a downside to necking up some Lapua brass and running a short barrelled 6.5 BR. I've read that some of the guys experimenting with this cartridge in 2008-9 were seeing 2800fps or more pushing 140s. Maybe even 2900 but that was really pushing it, even for BR guys... Also, this was from 26" barrels. Assuming 30fps per inch, cutting 14", I'm guessing a loss of 420fps from their numbers?

My question is, does anyone know or can anyone help me get a good idea what velocity to expect from a 12" 6.5BR, pushing 130 Berger VLDHs?

If I can't get 2600 fps from a 12-14" barrel, then I might re-think. Even at 2500 fps it's worth doing to me, but getting 2600 is the goal.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unexpected turn of events, congressional Republicans saw their approval ratings soar to an all-time high after bringing Congress to a grinding halt while the battle to determine the Speaker of the House dragged on.
"This isn't something we thought would happen," said Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, one of the lawmakers responsible for the impasse. "But now we're a hit with voters and we're holding back the swamp? We'll take any positive results we can get."
Though establishment Republicans warned of the backlash the small group of holdouts may face as they stood in the way of progress, voters instead rejoiced that Congress was unable to conduct its business. "What are we really missing out on?" asked concerned citizen Josiah Smith. "Sending more money to Ukraine? Forming ‘investigative committees' that do a bunch of talking and accomplish nothing? If holding up the speaker vote keeps all of that normal stuff from happening, I'm all for it!"
An irate Kevin McCarthy was reportedly seen throwing a temper tantrum in the halls outside his office after failing to win the speakership on the fourth ballot. "It's not fair!" McCarthy whined. "It's my turn! It's my turn!"
At publishing time, the House Freedom Caucus looked to be holding strong and was prepared to force as many votes as would be necessary to force McCarthy out of the running. Other backup plans included nominating other candidates, including one of the Capitol janitors, an Über driver found outside the building, or forgotten 1980s actor Andrew McCarthy.

More truth than fiction here folks!

This technology is starting to look more and more interesting...

@lowlight ... you are right down the road. How about getting us some for testing? I'll gladly give it a review!

It's only a matter of time before the power density is sufficient to make these viable.
