Hi all, my husband and I are just having a few beers with our neighbor, and he is on his way into the military so pretty sure he will be joining the forum. I noticed that most of the women in this thread are 20 year old models so hope no one mine if a fellow member (55 yo) goes topless for everyone out there View attachment 8703128

Not sure if we’re being trolled, catfished, or hell…maybe…just sincerely being entertained, but I approve this message!

IMHO, there are a lot of positives for having the TBAC RR cans in hand now.. IF suppressors are removed from the NFA, they will be even more demand for them, making them even harder to obtain. With the removable Brake, there is the potential for TBAC or other, third party replacement end caps in all kinds of configurations. Might even be a robust secondary market for them, especially the HUB RR cans. All speculation on my part,but a few positives to consider.

And in my case our communist state may just outlaw their sale or impose some huge tax on them

I just went through a similar evaluation. I ended up with an 18" 6 Creedmoor.

1.) Availability and lower cost of dies (quick search, you can always save money in the PX)

2.) The larger case capacity worked better with the powder I have on hand. I have 14 powders between H4350 and roughly H1000, and only one keg each of H4895, AR Comp and Varget.

I like having options, and Quickload showed 98-100% burn in the 18" barrel for all 14 powders, so "slower" burning isnt really a concern.

Well, this is an important wrinkle in my situation and maybe I should cancel my Magnus RR and my 338 GEN 2RR

I surely don’t want to be holding a $2000 piece of titanium that is outdated six months after I receive it because the big beautiful bill passed and removed silencers from the purview of NFA and now we can mix and match parts as we please

The discipline is called metrology and a properly calibrated device should be able to demonstrate that its calibration is traceable to the National Institutes of Standards and Technology.

That’s how all the “who” and “how” questions you brought up are answered. If not traceable to NIST then you’re fooling yourself.

BUT, NIST traceability costs and certification must be regularly redone. And no, we don’t do that…well, maybe someone who uses tools from their work place that has metrology in place.

Exactly. I know that my tool certainly have gone byby. But the tools are still valid “target points” for me on how hard do I twist the wrench get say 20 lb/inches. My old hand no longer has that calibration setting.

Might be worthwhile checking your barrel nut for tightness too, but more likely optics related..

Code please.

1st define what the overall MOA is of the rifle. If the goal is say 1/4, and you have a slop to fix, replace one or both parts so there is little to no slop to start with.

Well, if you replace either or both of the parts, then "the gun" would no longer be "the gun", but now "another gun", wouldn't it.

The only way to be able to know whether "bedding" helps a given barrel / upper, is to shoot the combination in question un-bedded, shoot enough data points to statistically determine the capability of a given set of ammo with the gun, then bed the barrel in the same upper & repeat the shooting exercise.

Other than than, we can only say that in general, it appears that bedding helps some combinations of barrel / upper & that it generally is directionally right.

All else is more or less conjecture unless the combo & been shot before & after bedding.

YMMV

banned where? Those trollops have cloths on (to many for me).

I remember the first time we drove into Gatlinburg. I was "WTF, why?"

Still don't get it.

New 16” 6.5 Creedmore gun

I thought Dersh was Epstein's lawyer? and Harvey Weinstein's? and TRUMP's?

Who the heck is this guy?

The Dersh already told us that there was nothing untoward and that it was all on the up-and-up.

He even kept his underpants on THE WHOLE TIME!

Bumpity bump
