hello everyone,
Got a new rifle and found these marks on one of the lands maybe 5 inches in front of the throat and marks continue maybe for half an inch.
Are these tooling marks? Should i be concerned?

Spent the morning at a par 3 course. In the 4-some, when one birdies, we all drink. Well, that set the tone for the morning and into the afternoon as we found ourselves at a local watering hole. This is where I should have started the story but needed to clarify why I can’t recall some lovely details. Well, I found myself next to a couple at the next table. For some reason it turned political, ( insert lost details here) she got up and called me a Trumper, and moved to the other side of the table, He then started to expound how he was self-made, and who was i?

Well, the upshot, the guys with me, only got in on the last bit of exchange, as the couple were ramping up verbally at me, as they stood up and left the place. We all looked at each other and just laughed. They went from 0 – 200 in a matter of minutes. High five ‘s all the way around. Even given my condition, I never raised my voice, just asked questions, and they went bat shit crazy.. Can’t wait for the next encounter.

I have six FOUR ONE TT Diamond triggers. Rem 700 clone, pro curve trigger shoe. None are part of their recall last year. Most appear brand new (and a couple are). No boxes. Safeties are currently removed but I can add one to each trigger if you want.

$210 each, shipped. PayPal or Venmo, buyer pays any fees.

I have about 50 years of tools from my trade, car/truck builds and misc. Most are hand tools wrench sets, socket set, standard and metric.
Some corded drills Milwaukee Bosch Metabo
All are quality older Craftsman when they actually made a quality tool in the USA, SK, Proto.
I have posted some for sale on craigs list, FB market place not much interest.
I have contacted some trade schools, some interest not much.
I am at the point of just scrapping them as scrap metal.
Any suggestions welcome.

Looking for an inexpensive target scope that is about 5-25 or 6-24, x50 or x56 objective, between 10-25yd minimum parallax is fine, and ideally less than $500, hard stop is at $700. Haven't shopped in this arena for a while, need some advice.

EDIT: After the below, based on price alone, going with the SH4. On a different note - does anyone know of a 30 or 40MOA rail for the Kidd 10/22 - it doesn't use standard 10/22 bases given that it has a different hole pattern. Kidd only makes up to 20MOA and my search yielded nothing.


Based on the use described below, it looks like my best options are:
1. Arken SH4 gen2 6-24 (on sale for $325 shipped for 4 more days, about 108MOA total elevation adjustment)
2. Arken EP5 5-25 (out of stock, otherwise about $565, about 110MOA total elevation adjustment)
3. Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30 (about 110MOA total elevation adjustment)
4. Athlon Ares BTR Gen2 4.5-27 (about 80MOA total elevation adjustment)
5. Athlon Midas Tac HD 6-24x50 (about 85MOA total elevation adjustment)

6. Can you find a Leupold vx-3i 8.5-25 FFP for under $700 anymore?

I'm going to get the SH4 gen2 before the sale ends simply b/c it's cheaper and there seems to be enough people here and elsewhere saying it's good enough for the price unless others can say that their EP5 or Athlon options really are "noticibly better". Also, between the 3 Athlon options, does anyone have experience with 2 or all 3 of them to explain what the differences are? Are all of these clear at the upper ends of their magnification range or are any realistically capped at 20-22x max power? - let's call clear enough being able to see font 30-36 size text somewhere between 50 and 100yd.

--------------------------------
USE / PREFERENCES:
Will be used on a 22lr rifle shooting at around 1070-1080fps between 25/50yd out to 300yd typically but would love to try 350 or 400yds on steel if possible. Won't be using this optic forever, just need something to hold me over until I save for "premium glass". I understand and expect there to be some chromatic abberation and other issues at this price point and can live with it. Not strictly limited to matches, a lot of this will also just be for plinking around at miscellaneous targets from paper to small steels to golf ball sized objects, etc. Based on a ballistic calculator for 1070fps, it looks like I'm going to have about 98MOA of drop at 300yd, so 49 MOA (from 98/2 = 49) internal adjustment upwards + 20 MOA base + ~10MOA of hold over at around 25x = ~79 MOA minimum internal adjustment.

I do feel that better / clearer glass helps with 22LR shooting on paper a lot or at small targets in the distance so I will pay if it's noticibly better but worst case I just use my spotting scope when plinking. A small eye box really irks me and I would be willing to pay more for another scope if it's really bad on the SH4gen2. Prefer a Christmas tree type reticle with an open center and small dot, although a MIL/MOA dot reticle with intuitive subtensions (ex SWFA SS reticle) is fine too. Slight preference for MOA with 1/4 MOA clicks for slightly finer adjustments, but MIL vs MOA here is a very low priority consideration that will come last. Don't care about illumination at this price point. Zero stops nice but not needed.

-Title says it all.
-New in the box, still sealed up
-DMR 3 EQL

Trades:
-Rim X action wrench
-high end binoculars in the 8-10 magnification range
-high end lightweight spotter (shorter body, 60mm ish objective, in the 60-70 magnification top end). No need for a reticle ocular, prefer not actually.
**happy to add cash when necessary**

10 hours ago — The incident comes weeks after 19 kids and two teachers were killed in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Uvalde law enforcement has been heavily criticized ...

How many food manufacturing plants have spontaneously combusted this year?

Forget Biden's "blow your lungs out of the body" 9mm. Now you have the "MAG Tactical System Rifle" - you don't even have to buy ammunition, the rifle does it all!!!

Springfield police arrest 5 on firearms charges, confiscate assault weapon that can penetrate a bulletproof vest

"The raid happened just before 7 p.m. Saturday in the area of College and Maynard streets. One of the six guns confiscated was a MAG Tactical System Rifle, which is illegal in Massachusetts because of the way it was modified. The gun can penetrate an officer’s bulletproof vest, go through a body and exit the Kevlar on the other side, Kent said.

I wonder if it can be used to disable a tank?

America is home to the stupidest fucking people on the face of the earth, assholes populate the political left like cysts on the asses of hobos. These people are so damned stupid it is pointless to even try and educate them, they are simply incapable of learning.

The 700,000 shitbags who live in the District of Columbia want to be a state. An even more lawless version of the crack addled, anti-gun, pro-crime, pro-corruption left wing shithole than they are now. The place is outright communist and has been for decades. They have no idea of the history of the district or why it was created in the first god damned place. It was NEVER intended to be a state and it was NEVER intended to be a haven from prosecution in neighboring states. It was intended to be a FEDERAL space for the FEDERAL government to operate without the FEDERAL government being under undue influence or control of a state. Assholes who move there do not get a representative in congress or two fucking senators because they are already directly controlled by congress.

The current smallest state in the union is Rhode Island at 1214 sq miles. The District of Columbia has half the population and is 64 sq miles. Can you imagine how fucking stupid it would be to make a state 80% the size of Boise and give the god damned socialists permanent control of Congress and the Senate.

I would support this totally fucking stupid idea if we can also separate conservative southern Illinois, Northern Michigan, Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon, Eastern Montana, upstate New York and Northern California in states as well. If we are going to go full on fucktard, why not divide the entire nation into 65 square miles chunks and call them fucking states?

Better yet, every private land owner with more than 41,000 acres of property should be his or her own fucking state. This includes groups of land owners who in the name of personal freedom can combine their properties to equal the size of the District of Columbia and then form their own state, get their own flag and their own congressman and two senators as well.

Strider/Starlingear XL Steampunk Framelock Folder.

Just a few of these all titanium knives were produced. They were presented at The USN Gathering in Las Vegas in 2009. Most agree this was one of the very best collaborations ever done by Mick Strider knives.

The Steampunk XL is a hand ground all titanium knife with a perfectly centered 4 3/8" titanium tanto blade featuring the wicked "Nightmare" grind. OAL is 9 7/8".

The blade is beautifully ti-flamed on both sides with the frame and pocket clip laser etched in the Steampunk Time Traveler's motif. Blade tang is hand signed by Mick Strider.

Included is the bronze Steampunk bead pictured as well as a Greg Everett custom leather slip in XL sheath. The super rare Strider zippered pouch is also included in this package.

Bought this art piece in 2020. Sat in a safe with humidity control since then.

One of most impressive collaborations ever made. (My humble opinion)

Price is $4,000

Includes pouch, sheath and bead that are in the photos.

If you know, you know.

Adam posted this over to the ZCO Owners FB page, and he's given me permission to post it here.

"Had a great time shooting the 2022 NightForce ELR shot my sub 16lb 300 Norma with ZCO 4-20, this is the 3rd match I have shot this rifle in the last 5 weeks the other 2 being nrl hunter matches that I placed 5th and 4th at. I also won a nrl hunter match with a 6.5 creed with a 5-27 on it last weekend. Over all I believe I have had 14 zco scopes in my squads over the last 4 matches in the last 5 weeks and all of them have ran flawlessly. In 45 degree rain to 95 degree heat on multiple rifles. I just want to say thank you to the guys at ZCO for making such a outstanding product I can rely on."

What exactly is happening that causes primer pockets to get loose? Also why so inconsistent? Seems like such a small amount of mine suffer. But mainly just looking for a detailed explanation of what is happening that causes this. Your rounds are to hot is not the answer either. Thanks for any insight.

Purchased a Terminus Zeus QC model with a 308 bolt a couple of months back and I am just not going to use it. I will post pics later today and just to be transparent, I will be out of town till Friday and will not be able to ship the item till I get back. Your FFL must accept the receiver from an individual.

Throw away your dry fire recoil mags, laser lyte, cool fire, all that bullshit. You don't need it. You think you need it. But you don't.

You think you need the "tactile feedback" you think you need something external to the pistol to see where your "shot" went.

You don't.

Don't argue with me. Argue with him

Normally i avoid this stuff with a passion *but* I do like to hear it come "real time" from the folks being questioned and not have it editorialized or "summarized" for me by the MSM...I like to hear it from the horses mouth before it gets edited and diluted in the game of Telephone where he said/she said takes control.

Anyone else watching this stuff Live?

VooDoo

I haven’t shot a match in over 2 years. I can’t seem to bring myself to use up my ammo, powder/primers since I paid so little for them and to replace them will be 4x the money.

I bought 400 or so rounds of m118 2 years ago for like .70 a round and see it for $2+ now…. I want to shoot it but I can’t let it go.

Im about half way through the book, its pretty good. Now I see that Prime has a movie with Chris Pratt, has anyone seen it? Opinions?

I have eight Surgeon 591 SA RH 308 bolt face small firing pin actions. All eight are brand new and paid about $1300 each in 2017. All are stamped "Prague, OK". $900 each OBO or $750 each OBO if someone takes them all. Shipped to your FFL.

I have these cutting edge projectiles available,

The pictured ones that are upside down is because the packaging is cracked/broken, the projectiles are in good shape, these are NEW OLD STOCK

So I just heard some greasy gov salesman on TV RE the public trails of the Jan 6 political prisoners, for midterm election ratings

The statist said “the debunked 2000 mules”

Of course there was zero detail on how it was “debunked”


Anyone know what he was talking about?
I watched the movie and it appeared very little was opinionated, most all was just CCTV footage and cell telemetry.

I know facts and gov are like oil and water, just wanted to see if I missed something
