9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

9mm and 45acp bolt action repeaters have been done in my shop. The 45 was first. I printed internals for a 308 AICS mag and used a 1911 mag spring to run it. The action was an SR3 and it was a ton of fun to shoot. We were messing with it one weekend on an E type at 400 yards. You could see the copper rainbowing downrange. I even used it one year to take a doe at my parents' house from ~45 yards with 230 grain Winchester PD ammo.

The 9mm was the same concept. I used 3D printed magazine internals, a Sig P228 mag spring, and a $45 9mm blank from Green Mountain. It's fun to shoot in my parrents back yard with 147 subs and a suppressor. It makes the same amount of noise as a suppressed 22 but it hits the steel plates harder and my sons enjoyed it more.

I still have the files and we can create more of them. The critical component is to use a 700 action with controlled round feed and a blade/inertial ejector like a Bighorn, Kelbly, ARC, etc.

I even posted it to the PVA instagram account back in 2019 or so and I have internal components for the 45 mags still. We could make more starting tomorrow.

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

The only way to truly understand what happened is by interpreting and reinterpreting compressed, reencoded and recompressed random video footage.

...until the outcome is what I want LOL.

Seriously, I'm the first to never trust the narrative or the government. But this thing went full retard in 60 seconds and never returned. I've never seen people work so hard to come up with insane things that don't make sense just to disagree with the most logical answer. And holy wow there is new retarded every damn day.

At this Point Charlie has been shot at every angle, by every firearm ever made including palm guns, drones, and air guns. He's been blown up by explosives, his security was in on it.

His killers are literally anyone but the guy that actually did it. Now cell phones can capture bullets in flight LOL. There is a magic escape tunnel behind him. The killer shot him from behind with an air gun and a (checks notes....) "targeting camera".

We've got a ex SF "expert" saying grade A retarded bullshit that is so dumb I don't know how that guy breathes on his own without reading instructions. Oh, and we've got leaked autopsy reports that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the sewer joos did it.

EDIT to update: Charlie was a holographic image so it was all faked. There was a hidden remote controlled gun hidden inside a speaker. :ROFLMAO:

Just fucking stop it.

SBR Bolt Action - 450 Bushmaster or .308?

Have you tried any other subsonic rounds?
How bad was the XTP and SubX?
If you swab an oiled patch through the bore prior to the first shot the First Round Drop goes away with the SubX. I don't think I'd worry about any of them shooting past 100 yards for more than target practice but if you need head shots inside 75yd the oil trick does make a big difference.

Does anyone stand with Berger?

Here a thought, what if really good shooters argue they cant shoot a difference because they shoot a bullet that after making the correct change in hold, the bullets just…go somewhere else?

agreed...this was difference i mentioned in post #70

i saw small differences in match scores, but the real differences i saw during zero or dope confirmation/truing days over years of different barrels and lots of bullets

a range local to me also hosts monthly belly steel matches with 1.5, 1, and 0.5moa steel...prone, no time limits, just accuracy focused...and it was noticeable when engaging the 1moa and 0.5moa plates

if a shooter is missing that 2moa barricade target at 500 yds...99.9% chance it aint the bullet, but going for that 4th and 5th target on the KYL/TYL rack...if you can shoot well enough, id bet they'll notice a trend



side note since match scores are being mentioned as a metric...i always take match scores (low ones) with a grain of salt...lots of factors outside of how well the rifle shoots in that score

there are good shooters
and then there are good shooters who also shoot great under pressure

...lots of people can do things in practice, they fumble in a match.....but if someone cant do it in practice, they damn sure cant do it under pressure at a match (outside of random luck)

What cars you fools have?

New 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road with upgraded wheels and tires, plus the spare.

Waiting to get through the gauntlet of getting the paperwork processed, and I've already been at the dealership for 2-1/2 hours now.

Oh, also getting a stainless steel skid plate installed while I wait...

They’re great at the range. I’m 5’6” and carrying one would be miserable for me. It would do me no good if I didn’t bring it with me. If something bad goes down I want to start off with 10 or 16, not 8.

If that’s what you shoot best. That's my mindset.

SOLD WTB: Quality Brand 6mm Used Hunting Contour Barrel

Hey guys, I want to make a 16.5” barreled 6 creed for hunting, but I’m not so committed to dive into an $800+ barrel :p . So it’s kind of an experiment to see if I like it.

I am looking for a 6mm barrel with a hunting contour in that 8-9 twist range that someone would sell on the cheap. Doesn’t really matter the round count or what action it fits, as I'm probably going to be chopping 8-10” off anyway. No factory stuff. I'm only interested in quality brands that maybe someone is not using or was an experiment for themselves and didn't workout.

Something in that Bartlein 3B, Bull Sporter, Sendero contour. Nothing lighter.

NO LONGER NEEDED.

Thanks!

SOLD ZEISS LRP S3 - 636-56 - 6-36x56 - ZF-MRi Reticle (#16)

Selling my LRP S3. Was sitting on a 22ARC bolt gun that I no longer have so I don't need this either. It's been a great scope, glass is very clear and turrets are good. It's in good shape, maybe one very very tiny mark on the bell but that's it and it's barely noticeable. The mount isn't included in the list price but we can discuss that if you want it.
asking $1700 shipped

Noveske 6ARC throat question

This throat is pissing me off. 105s at 1.720” to ogive are fine. 95SMKs at 1.675” won’t chamber without jamming the bolt out of battery requiring a motor to eject it. It’s pulling bullets occasions as well.

Edit: been doing some testing and the virgin Norma brass dummy’s stick. If I small base size them, they load and eject fine. Oddly enough, the dimensions seem good, and are way under a fired case in OAL to case mouth, and they’re .010” under fired headspace and belt line. Fucking strange… but it’s repeatable so there is something to this.


Case gauge will be here in a couple days, but this shit is frustrating and I’m running out of time to have my shit ready for the event Oct18.


As far as shooting:


105 shot fine. Groups improved over the course of three groups, starting around 1.5 MOA and dropping to under MOA, though in fairness the smallest group was only three shots as I was running out of rounds and needed 600 yard dope.

The four 95SMK I got to shoot went into .77 MOA, so about .8 MOA.

Hits on steel we’re clearly audible to 500, 600 I couldn’t hear but could see impact splash.

I am seriously thinking about throating this thing out about .050” just to be able to mag length and not jam the bullets. At least some bullets besides 80s.
I wouldn't be scared of hurting anything by throating it out if done properly. We've shot all variants of factory Hornady in +.050 and +.100 throat 6 arc chambers and they have all shot very well, just as they have with the saami throat.
