I'm not real clear why we needed an entire prequel series to flesh out the backstory of some dude who died in the first book instead of just getting season 2 of the main storyline, but I'll probably still watch this.

Yes, it comes loose.

And it also scuffs up the front of your rifle where it attaches.

The Anarchy Outdoors spigot mount is rigid, and preferable.

Cheers, maybe I'll avoid it then.

I liked the idea of it being removable, but don't really want it rattling around.

I have a vision forend for my AT that I should just install, but I wanted to use the rifle as is for a while.
Currently using a piece of picatinny rail on the forend, which I don't like very much.

You should buy one. They seem to hold their value.

Once upon a time, they held their value. But nowadays, if you buy the most recent model at MAP, you just have to wait until the next one comes out at SHOT and suddenly Mile High or Euro Optic has your model on clearance for 30-40% of what you paid. Now you've got the double-whammy of having an "obsolete" rifle (not really, but it's no longer the latest and greatest) and potential buyers have the leverage of "well I can buy the same thing new from vendor X at price Y" so now yours is only worth half of what you paid.

If this is a one-time buy and you plan on keeping it for the rest of your life, none of this should be a concern - pay full price and enjoy one of the finest firearms available. But chronic flippers needs to be aware and shop for bargains.

100 through it, zero hiccups

Trigger is pretty good, not G5 good but close. I have a couple of Timneys, single action type in my parts drawer….I may put one in it. I am considering this may be my IDPA gun so I can put a poverty Glock in folks faces Mag release is ok, not as stiff as they were before, not sure if PSA changed something but was a common complaint. They just feel good in the hand, full size anyway. The 19 size is different, presents different …… I believe because of the hump on the back of the grip is wrong for me. The FS seems to present just like a Glock (that is a good thing, over 30 years of Glock muscle memory) and the texture and shape reminds me of a M&P. Side by side with the G45 I have no trouble swapping back and forth.

It's a shell game.

225 years and a national debt that was measured in billions. 25 years later and it's almost 40 trillion. 40,000,000,000,000.
No one is ever going to be paying back that money. So they are just spending away till the collapse.

All the world is a stage.

It's sad; the national debt was about $5 trillion in 2000, and so we've added $32 trillion in the last 25 years and gotten exactly what to show for it?!? Looking around, everything that matters (roads, bridges, power plants, refineries, etc.) was mostly built well before we racked up all that debt.

We've spent about $20 trillion on just "defense" alone over the last quarter-century, and can't even make enough munitions to support a moderate regional conflict. What a fucking joke.

I used to and did exactly that, Harris with the 419 adaptor. I never really liked it that much since it would come loose after a while and I hated the slop.

I went with the RRS spigot replacement rail section and put a rail adaptor on the 419 mount.

Was it the Atlas BT19 adaptor that would come loose?

I would buy an arca spigot but the shipping cost is outrageous from the US (I'm in New Zealand) whereas I can get the BT19 spigot from the UK, for not too much money.

Looking at a Manners T2A-GAP with a 700 short action - standard fill - roughly what contour of barrel suits to have balance a few inches forward of the mag well for PRS style matches?

cheers

You can probably get away with a 26” M24 contour, I’ve had pretty good luck with that combo in my PRS1 with the heavy fill which should be a similar weight to the T2A-GAP

No sir

The real master.

The sword that I originally posted pics of will sell for 8000 Euros, for those of you who wanted to know.

Actually, if anyone wants, they have one course slot left for a sword making course where you will leave with your own sword.

Cost for the course is 5900 euros and it includes everything from when you show up to when you leave. Food, transportation, course materials, lodging, etc. If I was going to get a sword, I would be really tempted to go this route. Flights are cheap, too.
