XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

Will it fit when the welded box mag?

Definitely not, it would be unusable. However, an angle grinder solves this issue extremely quickly :cool:

It would probably work with only the bottom metal, but you wouldn't be able to put mags in it. There's also the issue of bedding material, which might be too tight for the M5 DBM to even fit. I just wanted to mock something up the best I can in order to get a photo. It's just something to have fun with in this thread.

Finding a wife

BCP said:
I used to think that way but life has shown me otherwise. Until you're sitting there married with the mortgage and the kids and all the stress and other shit you don't know exactly what the other person will do. Sometimes people who are shitbags will shape up and sometimes people who are solid fall apart.

^^^ 100%. That is why my current wife and I based our marriage on five pillars (if you want to call it that...we don't).
-Faith
-Finances (are they going to put you into debt/ how are their spending habits and are they manageable with yours)
-Family (want kids etc..)
-Politics (includes guns, abortion, etc... pick the most polarizing shit on T.V. and discuss it to see if you'll be at each other's throats soon)
-Goals (where are you going to live / when are you going to retire).

If you have those nailed down, you can survive the mortgage arguments as well as the other various crises that are going to throw a wrench in your otherwise perfectly planned marriage. Don't settle for 4:5 either... that 5th one will dominate your marriage with arguments.

**************

Also want to add to pay attention to how they interact with their parents and other loved ones...especially during stressful times. My first wife and her mom got into scream fights after about 3 hours of being together. I was too stupid to know at the time that I was going to become a surrogate for mom when I married her.

Current wife of 11 years has raised her voice to me 3 times. She has a fantastic relationship with her parents too.

mid power scope $500-1k

Looking for a FFP mid power scope around 3-15, 4-16, or 3-18 to put on a 6.5 grendel. Will be for plinking paper and steel, possibly hunting. Think of a typical SPR / DMR-ish "accurate enough" and not a trying to make a gas gun hit sub MOA targets consistently out at 1000 yards build.

Priorities will include a useful mil reticle at low and high power but moa reticle is acceptable if needed, forgiving eye box and parallax, not too narrow FOV, good clarity / transmission at dusk / dawn, <32oz ideally, ideally with illumination but not absolutely necessary.

Right now it's most likely going to be a Meopta Optika 6 3-18x50 mrad or Athlon Ares ETR 3-18 but am wondering if I'm missing anything else that may work in this price range. Other options I saw but haven't looked through before would be a 3-18 Strike Eagle or a Toric 2.5-15 although just looking at the reticle on paper I would prefer the meopta mrad reticle designed by DLO here.

I would also consider a(nother) Burris XTR3 (probably the non-ilum given the budget here) if I can find one for around or under $1k. I know the 3-18 Trijicon Tenmile was available for about $1100 a year or two ago but I missed that - not sure if either of these can be found for <$1k anymore. Also have an ATACR 4-16 (and a few other similar optics) and definitely acknowledge it's "better" than the above but not worth the $ to me here.

223 at 300 and 500

diggler1833
The accuracy is perfectly acceptable. The ES and SD would be a concern of mine for sure. At about 6-700 yards that is going to become extremely noticeable. Obviously up close it matters much less.

I think a good question to ask yourself, is do you want to invest the time to go down this rabbit hole? If not, keep up what you're doing but understand that the further out you go the worse it is going to get until you control the ES and SD. Surprisingly, the .223 is one of the more difficult cartridges to reign in (for me).

I had a relative in those nuke tests...pretty much as close as you get be. In a trench as I recall his story that was bucking around like damn bull but kinked like a snake. Once it was lit and blast and shit had passed, they were told to march towards the destruction or something like that. He lived late 80s, no cancer other than skin cancer. The real issue will be thyroid protection for folks in fallout zone.

My Moms dad 'retired army' told me several times about him outside the blast zone, in trenches. They were told to drape a old school issue wool blanket over tops of them and cover their eyes with their hands. Then marched inside the blast zone after.. His friends he kept contact with all died before him. He did have cancer in 80's that finally got him.

Discontinued proof barrel?

brazz04 said:
I just put one of these together with the 22" proof barrel. Have managed one sub MOA group with it in the first 100 rounds though a few others were close. Definitely a learning curve coming from the bolt action world.

With which load? I know when it comes to the factory-loaded stuff from Hornady, the only two loads I could consistently keep sub-MOA were the 108 ELD-M and the 103 ELD-X. The 80 ELD-VT have been atrocious, best group was 1.8 moa, and most were over 2.

Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

Black max said:
Their gas block, the index notch and retaining nut are one of the features that set it apart. You don’t need an adjustable gas block for a properly gassed barrel, which the ridgeline rifles are.

I would almost beg to differ I have a Ridgeline upper and run it with the recommended A5H2 buffer set up. Clean the gun regularly and when shooting it unsuppressed I’ll get failure to lock back at times and failure to pick up the next round at times. Suppressed don’t have any issues. While I really do dig the design at the price point I’m a little disappointed in it. I plan on swapping the buffer to a jp silent capture, but just haven’t gotten around to it.
