India vs Pakistan

I’d be interested in what India’s equivalent of a Fires cell assessed reconstitution times would be.

Targeting is done in support of the CDR’s intent. What do you suppose the Indian CDR’s intent was PRIOR to Trumps ceasefire? What operation was this effect supporting?

Looks like they sent a message to Pakistan that they can shut down Pakistani Air Force operations at-will. They also were probably interested in what capabilities there were with the Chicom Air Defense, or it could be simply Indian thinking of retaliation for the terrorist attack at the resort.

The prime minister would look weak if he allowed Pakistan to get away with slaughtering people on vacation for sport, so he faces internal political pressure as well.

Makes it all that much more of a juicy opportunity for China to instigate the terrorist attack, if that’s what happened. Doesn’t matter either way because it caused instability in a potential new trading partner with the US.

The Indian response also put Pakistan in their place strategically by showing them that cyclic ops for sortie generation is something they won’t have, which means Indian Air Force could run cyclic ops on their side with fighters RTB’ing, re-arming, and heading back to stand-off missile separation parameters.

I would now look at French FMS to India and see if they order more SCALPs at a higher % vs HAMRs.

I would look at Pakistani orders to China to see what they order as well.

The J-10C A2A success is window-dressing on top of a much deeper strategic gambit, from my view.

45* or 90* red dot

Kremvh
Having done both with and without NODs, I think most people here will prefer the 45° mount. Unless you have a giraffe neck, the extra motion required to transition from main scope to top dot isn't natural and you end up hunting a sight picture for the dot.

The proponents of the top dot say it's better for night vision work, but I find acquiring a sight picture under NODs better with the stock as a reference for the 45° dot. You may have to manage laser and light mounting though; your mileage may vary.

And - most importantly - John Wick uses a 45° dot.

I would add that sliding surfaces (ie bolt and body) should have a different surface finish to keep the friction coefficient down. Having both surfaces at <8 Ra would actually make for a stickier bolt throw as the interfacial tension of the mating surfaces increase as the surfaces get finer.

Good point^^^^.

For the sake of the question and the application of DLC, the V-22 bolt assembly components are finished such that they're a good host for DLC. If the parts are currently Cerakoted, ask the coater if they'll blast and prep. Some do, some don't.

13.7 INCH VS 14.5INCH AR RANGE AND BALLISTICS

You try any of this yet?

I’ve been shooting it a lot since it came out. Very flat and fast, makes easy hits out to 1000yds from the 17.6” Lilja.

We’ve been shooting it from the 12” Grendel too. I really like it.

Feels like shooting 6mm to me. Wind drift isn’t the same as a 107gr 6mm, but close enough for recreational use.

Barrel flats, any one use them?

I have one barrel with flats. I torqued it with an action wrench. Now I have a crows foot. The next time I switch, I will give the crows foot a try. Definitely not going to 90 pounds. Good to know what others are doing.

Crows foot on a torque wrench if what I do.
I usually change the barrel Jacob style (rifle on bipod fully assembled) but if you want to torque it real tight I don't think you can rely on Jacobs method, will need to hold the action more securely.

Justice Kagan snaps at Trump lawyer in major case: 'Every court has ruled against you'

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan pressed Trump attorney John Sauer on what would happen if the court stopped letting judges block laws nationwide.

It's funny to hear her defend letting lower courts issue nationwide injunctions. Rotten heifer.

Back when right leaning courts were doing it to Biden, she didn't like it at all!

I edited the link to start at the 42 minute mark, where she (he/it?) starts whining about it.

Bankruptcy R700 woes

diggler1833
My bet is that the action screws are what is causing the heavy bolt lift. I swapped stocks on a 700 once and the screws absolutely were coming contact with the bolt lugs and keeping me from even cycling the action on the new stock.

I also 3rd the position here that there isn't (from what the photos are showing) any pressure signs on the brass. Some bolts with large firing pin holes are going to crater primers extremely early in pressure...as in well before you even hit the SAAMI max. I'd be looking for a big circle or smear on the bottom of the case head OP.
