Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

Couldn't you just design in an mlok slot up front (most chassis already have em) and one on either side of the rear of the stock so that guys could just put m-lok hooks to run HK clips or para-clips? I've run around plenty with a heavy rifle on my back with slings held on by qd sockets and never had an issue but I'd be lying if I said I never worried about them popping out, haha.

I’d like to say that, yes I get help, but that’s not the case. 😄 it’s a one man show here, at least lately. I used to have someone show up now and then to assist. That was definitely easier and provides a double check on things. 👍🏻
Darn!

All I can think of is if you can maybe trade some entry fees for some help. You probably already tried that and still didn't get the hoped for response?!

Yes, the BCG is sitting too far forward when locked back by the carrier. Everything else works fine.

Won't be able to post pics for a few days but will do so if it's not solved by then.
Your SCS spring might be too much spring weight.

Can you physically retract the BCG all the way to the rear to achieve bolt hold open on the bolt lugs?

If not, your RET might be turned-in one too many rotations as well or out of spec.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

It ALWAYS included registration but this time it includes $0 for making.

And not just suppressors ... anything not in paragraph 1
True. I concede that point. Though I was given the vague impression that there was intent for removal from NFA completely. And not by just internet gossip.

So I guess then that SBRs are okay, Except! You must register with the feds, with the fore knowledge that the record will remain forever. Hmmm…
🤔

I wish I could leave my steel set up, but each time I run a match, I have to set up 30-40 targets and since the the range is used the day before. I have to set up my targets and stages starting at 5:00 pm the day before. A bit of a royal PITA.
You MD's don't get paid near enough! Hopefully you have lots of help or at least some.

We have a small FT club but the MD and half a dozen other guys, including me, had our 24 steel targets set up in 45 minutes and half that time to put it all up.

Many of us camp out at this location, a beautiful place in the forest that we lease from the FS, so we're already there hanging out anyway.

The cool thing is we have a Silhouette side match on Friday evening, also Saturday evening after the main match, and can shoot through the course for practice on Sunday, or plink in the gravel pit which is good for long range airgun or 22rf out to 200 yards.

This location is at 7200 ft elevation so we only shoot there from June to October and then the club goes down to Ben Avery shooting range in Phoenix for the winter months.

At the UFT match, which is only during the winter months in Phoenix at PRGC, the MD is able to leave the targets out since it's away and apart from the shooting bays. Sometimes in the late spring and early fall we have night matches to extend the season which is really neat to do. This match allows 22rf too but every time a "new to this sport 22rf shooter shows up"(not inexperienced plus having decent gear) they can't figure out why the airgun shooters outscore them. Then we may see them one more time but it gets a bit hard on their ego the 2nd time they end up middle pack.
I mention this hoping some "accomplished" 22rf shooters will show up next winter to see how well they do. :p Who knows they might like this sport after all??!!

Sorry but it gets a bit boring in the airgun forum so here I am.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

Okay, so it’s a token nod to the base, but still keeps the registration and reporting requirement. Not a win in my book.

Or am I missing something?

🚨 NFA language BACK IN!!! (Post #121) HPA/Short Act Update 7/1 ☎️ these 💩 and yell at them more

I actually hope the bbb falls on its face now. It was jacked up to begin with like all other bills. But at least it had something fun in it ( even though I’m in Kalifornia Stan and it doesn’t matter).
Now I just want to see it all burn down. Metaphorically not actually peacefully.

If it burns all down they'll just write a continuing resolution that's "bipartisan" and do all the same shit anyways
