Optics WTS NF ATACR 5-25 Mil-C

NF ATACR 5-25 F1 Mil-C. Sun shade, caps, tool and windage ring in the box. I can’t seem to find the manual. 2350 for the ride pay pal, friends and family or add 3%for goods and services. I would trade for an ATACR 4-20 Mil-XT or possible a ATACR 4-16 Mil-XT as I’m looking for something a little shorter and lighter for a 223 gas gun.

Suppressors Galled muzzle threads taking thunderbeast brake off. Had used hi heat red locktite

I was told to use red hi temp locktite for my tbas brake to keep rhe brake from coming off with the ultra 7. That worked but I took the brake off, which took a bunch of force. The threads on muzzle and inside the brake galled up a little bit.

Should I have heated it up first with small torch or is red hi heat locktite the wrong product

Air rifle questions

My old Crosman is worn out & can't cut the mustard anymore.
So I'm forced to enter the moderately priced (<$1000) air gun market to take care of some small vermin around the house.

1. Can a guy leave a PCP style air rifle like a Benjamin Marauder pressurized for a couple days to take care of a quick target of opportunity ?

2. Would the .22 cal pellet give a guy the best combination of accuracy, velocity, energy, availability/selection and cost ?

I have a budget limit of about $600-700 and pretty much have narrowed the search down to:

Benjamin Marauder_ - First choice
Seneca Sumatra 2500 - Second choice
or
Beeman R9
Air Venturi Avenger
HatsanBullboss QE

Am I way off in my thinking on this, I know More $$$ can buy better, but this just a pellet gun....LOL
Amazon or Walmart seems to have decent prices but I hear Wallyworld has a no return policy ?
Might just stick with PyramydAir or Airgundepot

Would anyone have an issue buying a used gun, ie seals, mechanism, action/barrel wear etc ?

Thanks

Gunsmithing Last couple days.

I don't get prints or models on this stuff. I get handed an artifact part and the party starts from there. Late yesterday afternoon the tree started to bear fruit.

BMW 328i xDrive Your Thoughts

Looking at possibly getting a 2008 thru 2012 BMW 328i xDrive. There are a few of these for sale in my area and I'm looking to get a car for my wife.
She is a low mileage driver. Her main concerns are heated seat and 4-wheel drive. I am somewhat of a car guy, so I would like to get her something other than an econobox. I have never owned a German automobile.

The cars that I am seeing in my price range, ($10-$14K.) seem to have around 100k. miles.
Anyone have firsthand experience with this model?
Is 100k. miles that big of a deal if the car was taken care of?
Useful opinions welcomed. I have never bought a used car with 100k. miles already on it, that's a bit of a sticking point for me.

Not Bartlein Barrels

Guys I cannot tell you how many now this year but just had another customer send in barrels that are not ours. In the attached pic....the customer bought components (along with actions) and think the shop he bought them from did all the gunsmithing work. Shop recommended our blanks and customer went with it. Guns don't shoot. So customer calls us up and sends the barrels in for inspection.

The 30cal barrel is a button rifled barrel. Has 5 grooves but not 5R rifling.

The 7mm barrel is a 6 groove. We don't do 6 groove rifling on 7mm's. 4 groove or 5R only.

If you are buying guns sight unseen and or components and getting the machined work done before you receive the components. Especially if you are dealing with a shop you've never dealt with before......ask for the s/n of the barrel. It's stamped on the breech face of the barrel and gets lost when the threading and chamber work gets done. If you know the s/n you can always call us and confirm if it's ours or not. Also if you buy the barrel from us the s/n will be on your invoice as well. Record the s/n for your records.

Also most barrel makers don't s/n they're barrels. If the shop says there is no s/n tread lightly.

I bum for the customer because he is out money and has guns that don't shoot and we've got to be the bad guy to break the news to the customer when this happens.

I've even received complete guns in this year where the customer complained they wouldn't shoot etc...and upon inspecting the gun and trying to figure out what is going on we find out not our stick on the gun.

One shop and I won't mention names sent me not one...not two but six 30cal barrels all chambered in 300wm and the complaint was they don't shoot and need the barrels replaced. So when the barrels got here and I looked at them.....and I called the guy up and told him I'm not replacing them! He asked why? I said for starters they are button rifled. Second... I said they are all 6 groove 30cal barrels. We don't make 6 groove 30cal barrels. I looked up his past orders and they only ever bought 4 grooves from us and not a lot of them. Not a steady customer. So either they kept the barrels for themselves and bought cheaper 30cal 6 groove barrels from another shop and tried to pass them off as ours and tried to get them replaced.

Later, Frank

Lapua....

So admititedly, I can be somewhat of a grammar nazi at times, but not so much when it comes to pronunciation, but I just watched a video, and the way the guy pronounced Lapua sounded weird to me. He pronounced it Lap-Wah. I've only ever heard La-poo-uh.
It's like when I had my shop back in the day, and everyone said Lee-Uh-Pold. I wouldn't correct anyone, but I would pronounce it Loo-Pold, and that's pretty much how I hear it today
What's the consensus here?

Diesel fuel shortage

I'm hearing from all over that there is only *about* 3 weeks worth of diesel fuel out there right now, and that it's not going to change soon.
I could drop about 19 youtube video links, Fox, Cnn, BBC, etc, but why ?
I'm assuming y'all have heard about this already.....haven't you ?
So....any tips other than making sure your tank is full ?

Zero Tech Trace ADV Spotter w/ Mil Reticle

Had one of those pleasant surprises drop in on me today:

IMG_0001.JPG


I don't have a ton of details; I sent a note to Australia but have not heard back yet.

That said, the Spotter has three sections for M-Lok rails, each side and the top. The bottom short Pic Rail is mounted in screw holes, not a rail. Plus, it has a separate mount for a standard 1/4-20.

IMG_0002.JPG


It is a 20-60x FFP with a Mil-Based Reticle, which is very basic. There is nothing I see on their website for me to link, but here is the sheet:

IMG_3545.JPG


IMG_0003.JPG


They sent the spotter over with Magpul MLOK Rail sections; I ended up using some spare Cadex I had because I felt they fit better. The Plastic rails probably pair better, but the metal Cadex ones are really nice and fit it like a glove.

Front window review-wise, it's a nice spotter. I don't know the cost yet, but it's FFP and has a Reticle. I was really impressed when I opened the box, especially seeing a reticle.

Aside from the Objective, the body is rubberized and armored, and the mag ring and focus work really well; not sticky, has no rough spots, it turns very well.

I appreciate the guys supporting the site and forwarding the unit; it will undoubtedly get used, as I think it has a nice picture, the reticle being a huge plus. When we do the RifleKraft USA Classes having as many spotters on the line as possible is good, so definitely get eyes on it.

Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

I'm curious if anyone has experience using a 16.5in barrel 308 or 6.5cm for hunting. Most of the factory rifles with a 16.5' barrel are heavy. My thought was to buy a tikka tx3 lite in 6.5cm, have a gunsmith cut the barrel to 16.5" and thread it. Could probably either thread to 1/2x28 and add an adapter to get to 5/8x24 or just add the 1/2x28 xeno brake for use with my nomad. Top with a 3x9 or LPVO and have a 8ish pound short light woods rifle for whitetail. I know 6.5cm thrives in long barrels, i have a 24in long range 6.5cm, but looking at the ballistics it seems like i can get over 1000ft/lbs out to 300 yards or so. My shots are typically inside 150 and deer in the carolinas a small. kind of a scout, kind of like a fix or cross but in a traditional stock. 6.5 will have lower recoil and less drift and drop and at the distances I'm hunting I don't think i'll miss the gains in energy by using 308. Has anyone tried anything like this or can talk me out it? The thing holding me back is that if it was a good idea i bet there would be factory rifles in 6.5 this short. Thanks for any input

Firearms Tikka T3x w/ Proof Carbon .308

Tikka CTR action with 10T 16.5” barrel. Has between 50 and 100 rounds through it (action and barrel). Super accurate. Picked up a 300 PRC and don’t need two .30 caliber hunting rifles.

In an adjustable Grayboe Renegade in multi cam. Grayboe bottom metal accepts AICS magazines.

Magazine not included. In picture as reference.
