One of the geriatric rodents accused me of pedo for posting this chuck.

Where were the ladies who looked like this when I was in my 20’s?

Not complaining about the one who caught me, but I don’t remember my contemporaries looking that good back then.

1,500+ pieces left!

Like what is the point. Poverty pony has zero value as a brand. Better off selling Ruger branded lowers not that they would since Ruger is gay ass fudd shit.

guess I need to go throw my #1, #3, 77/22's and 10/22's in the trash!! never knew...

Ok, after yesterday's post showing the DDG M5x DBM System, I've received tons of questions about my Pre-Load Piston (PLP). So, I figured I'd give a y'all a better look at what it is, what it does, and how one makes it a part of his/her shooting platform.
As one can see, when the magazine is inserted, it forces the PLP upward by acting on a surface on the tab of the PLP. The PLP is under pressure from an internal spring and this pressure acts upon the top surface of the magazine.

This pressure forces the magazine downward, trapping it between the tab on the PLP and the magazine release. At this point, the magazine is not free to bounce up and down and it has resistance to moving about the lateral axis (the magazine can't tilt forward and down).

So, how does one make the M5x fit his/her stock? As one can see from the attached photo of the inletting in a McMillan stock, I've colored the area in red that needs to be removed. Thanks to four cups of coffee, I colored the area a little larger than it actually needs to be, but one can easily get an idea of how simple it is to fit the M5x in his/her stock.

The DDG M5 DBM drops right in without any revisions.

Because the PLP needs a bit of headroom to move upward when the magazine is inserted, a small revision is made to the receiver by pushing the forward wall of the trigger pocket forward. I've attached a 3D assembly below that I posted recently, and one can see the small area in question. I don't recommend this revision be performed with a hand mill (Dremel), but instead, a manual mill like a Bridgeport or in a CNC. It's actually quite a simple operation.

There's one additional feature that's part of the full-on system (Magazine, M5 and M5x DBMs, New Rimfire Bolt Action) that I'm not showing yet that will make all this make more sense when one sees it. But the goals are to continue with envisioning and creating the exceptional to continue to push the boundaries of increasing accuracy and overall performance of the Rimfire Shooting System.

Hope this helps and feel free to keep the questions coming.

Hmm, I can't get it to see my Vectors... going to try an uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for the confirmation.

Make sure your Vector X firmware is up to date.

Awesome! I am able to pair with the Vector now.
Still unable to pair Calypso with Vector. The option is there but pair takes forever. Hopefully this can be working soon

If it fails wait 30 seconds (for it to reping) and try again.

So order another! lol Why look for a Rock Creek or other? I wasn’t hesitant getting my first Osprey as I had known Josh for a long time and trusted him but after shooting them I trust him more. lol Seriously though they are very accurate, as you know, and clean up quick. Cant ask for more in a barrel.

I don't have an Osprey. I've been really happy with the Rock Creek prefits that I've purchased over the years. If I timed the sale, I was in for around $500, which seemed fair for a prefit, especially given all the options that they have programed in over at PVA.

I don't need an Osprey. I'm not shooting PRS, I'm not shooting benchrest, I'm shooting steel and anything around 1 MOA is going to work great for me. This isn't a knock, but at that price I can swing for the moon and get a Brux, Bartlein, etc. What kept me coming back to PVA was a great barrel at a great price, with way more options for customization than anyone else doing prefits offered. Anyway, useful to know that the lower (cheaper) tier of barrel isn't coming back.

That doesn’t look correct at all

Best to just buy a new base? I did just order a MDT 20 MOA base

I picked up a Zeiss and now I need to sell this one. So, make an offer, not a low ball, but a reasonable offer.
Thanks, if you can help me sell it.

That’s fine. She’s a grown woman. I’m only 44 so a long way from geriatric. The one I was referring to earlier looked under 16

Maybe this is also a reflection of the failure of the US colleges ability to provide trained software engineers with a work ethic

^^^^ Definitely a factor.

Key aspects of the H-1B visa:

• Specialty Occupation:
  The job must require specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a related field.
  
  
• Employer Sponsorship:
  The U.S. employer must file a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of the foreign worker.
  
  
• • Annual Cap:
    There is a numerical limit (an annual cap) on the number of H-1B visas issued each year, with some exceptions.
    
  • Duration:
    H-1B visas are typically granted for an initial period of up to three years, with extensions possible for another three years, potentially longer if the employer is sponsoring the worker for permanent residency.
    
  • Portability:
    H-1B workers can begin working for a new employer as soon as the new employer files a Form I-129 petition on their behalf.
    
  • Dual Intent:
    The H-1B visa is considered a dual intent visa, meaning that while it is a temporary visa, it can be a pathway to permanent residency (a green card).
    
  • Protections for U.S. Workers:
    The program includes provisions to protect U.S. workers from unfair competition, such as requiring employers to pay the prevailing wage and ensuring there is a genuine need for the foreign worker.

When I worked as a product engineer on an H-1B about 30 years ago for an export-oriented business, I was able to negotiate a higher salary due to cultural and language fluency w.r.t. to their customers.


Are there shananigan being played with H-1B visas? Most likely, but the intent and the pertinent laws are not the problem.

TTT
Has clutch as well

Is the new FD-4 still available?

true. but as i said above,it seems that mass murder is almost always a success and rarely punished. any of us could make a list. the only one that comes to mind that failed and was or would have been punished is Hitler and some of his group. Mao,Stalin,Temujin,countless others with various counts of victims. they all seem to have raised many helpers.
