Where’s the best place to buy go no go guage set? Is it absolutely necessary to have them when the barrel arrives or is there a way to set up without?

Whidden Gunworks has a cool set here. Seven gauges are included to indicate headspace from .039″ to .045″. Use these to check existing firearms, when installing prefit barrels, or along with Shim Kits to fine-tune headspace to match your ammunition.

Both.

Wrap wax paper around the tool. Not making it up. It will calm the tool down till you get a few barrels on it.

First time I told Scotty when he was new and doing chamber work... he was having issues not with one but with two brand new 50bmg reamers. I said... just stop working on the stuff today. It's almost time to go home anyways. I'll bring in wax paper tomorrow and I told him what to do. I went back a few hours later and asked him how it worked? He said... haven't done it yet. His exact words where and I quote "your fuck'd in the head!"

So I showed him how it worked. He was really quiet after that!

Guys like Warner and Tooley etc.. will know this trick. Also sometimes guys will stone the reamers by hand as well.

I've found more than once a high flute. A touch or two with an Arkansas stone helps .

I got the proper turret cap on the rifle, thanks to Leupold, who took care of me, no questions asked. My dope was spot on to 900, but things got a little inconsistent at 1000. Not sure if I was just reaching the limits of what a 14.5" 6 ARC can do at that range, or if there were other issues at play. Either way, I am extremely happy with the performance at a distance.

BTT...sale price added!

14.5" 6 ARC is dialed to 1000.

I have 3 KRGs. I love and hate them. Good price, ok feel but them you are kinda limited. Want arca, money, need weight l, you are very limited. If I could start over I would have a gray Birch. I have one for my 10/22 and love it compared to the KRG.

If you got the 16” barrel option an MPA is gonna be over kill. Gray Birch gives you pretty much everything mpa does but lighter. Factory trigger is ok. A Timney is better with more consistent adjuability.

I'm not planning on any competition use, but you never no, mostly more of a cheaper option than any of my centerfire, every time I pull the trigger. I wish there was some people closer , that had some chassis guns i could try out.

I’m considering a RMRcc for my Glock 26, but after running this Holosun 407k with manual brightness only, I’m starting to think about the importance of auto adjusting.

This is for my daily CC and it’s also my idpa gun. I’m a middle of the pack shooter with draw to first round hit around 1.5 seconds.

The reason I bring that up is, does the adjustment actually keep up with a shooter’s draw stroke. Or is auto brightness just a sales gimmick?

I got couple of RMR HD's. 85-90% of the time auto-brightness is spot on. Much better compared to regular RMR auto setting.

What bullet are you shooting and what's the BC you have entered into your ballistic solver?
This past match my shooting partner fat fingered his BC and he was all over the place. He was shooting Berger 109's and has his BC set to .270 (which is where I run my 105's + .001 or .002) He's usually around that .285-.290 mark for his load.

Click to expand...

Just got home and checked my Kestrel. I am shooting factory Berger 144's in 6.5 creedmoor. The BC is .320. Full disclosure -
Heading into my last match at Gunline, I ran it on the AB custom drag model. Even calibrated MV at 1000 at my range. I asked another guy who was spotting for his mate, for where my shots were hitting. He said that I was hitting the watermark. That is 100% on me for not being ready or able to ensure accurate info goes into my solver.

Id get a 640 something. I love my h50r, and spend the rest on a cheap scanner. Been hunting with alot of guys that stare into darkness 50% of the time because theyre tired of looking thru a rifle scope.

Since the current discussion is about military aircraft, here in Canada, one thing that isn't being said is that the Conservatives, and all my Conservative friends WANT the F-35.

Add to that, we all WANT more soldiers.

We also WANT our soldiers to be better outfitted.

And and and.... we WANT a better Navy, and naval forces too.

None of what I'm saying though, is in the media OR is it on the mind or agenda of any fucking LIEberal.

I’ve watched how the Marxists have coordinated their disinformation campaign against Canada and the F-35, and it has been extremely effective. Remember the 60 Minutes interview with that embarrassment, Pierre Sprey?

Traitors running for office with Chinese and Russian backing could then go to the voters and run on a platform of cancelling the F-35, which is exactly what Trudeau did. That was no accident.

One of the last things Russians subs, strategic bombers, and Chicom ships want are RCAF F-35As patrolling the Canadian ADIZs.

Even if all that is true, and irrespective of any other argument ... we have no right to try to force a sovereign nation to submit to physical or political subjugation in the face of a clear and compelling lack of support from Canada. I'm not arguing with any of this thesis or any criticism of their defense posture. All that is "interesting", but not "important" to any discussion about taking over their country. It's the wrong debate, held at the wrong time, for all the wrong reasons ... IMHO. Work on building back my 401(k) and lowering my grocery prices. Let Canada take care of itself.

Trump fired a huge shot across their bow to destabilize the corrupt, treasonous Canadian political system to make it crack. Now the traitors and patriots will have to make their cases for their nation, even as the consequences of institutional betrayal play out in their geopolitical and economic position.

The fact that Canada has failed to cover the Northern attack vector and let Chicoms weasel their way into the Arctic still remain significant political and military considerations the US now has to account for somehow.

Most Americans and Canadians remain unaware of this reality still, because of a coordinated media role in distracting us all from the core critical topics about US-Canadian relations.

It also might explain why Michigan is getting F-15EXs, which have a huge combat radius and Mach 2.5+ max V0 that can help cover down on the central corridor gap left by broke-down CF-18s that can’t fly.

I should have said "Noone in the government, power industry or anyone who can do something about hardening the system..." Lots of people are ready for it! Especially folks who drive cars that have points, condensers and carburettors... and who have seeds socked away! ;-)

Finished up some tweaking on my mod 3 today to get it a little closer to “clone correct”. Only other thing is the collar was installed with the latch cuts horizontal instead of vertically for some reason. I’m not sure if it can be rotated or not. Either way I’m super happy with it.

Did you purchase one of the pre-made barrel journals to install on the barrel? Or did you get a barrel complete from @crazynoto? I've seen this happen before with the loose barrel journals that have the gate latches channels pre-cut into the journal. It looks like the barrel was installed on your receiver, the gunsmith screwed on a loose barrel journal, and then just said "good enough."

The crazynoto barrels don't have the gate latch cuts in them, so a gunsmith installs the barrel like normal, then mounts the barreled action into a jig, and then cuts the vertical gate latches. Hell, even just flipping the barreled action upside-down to rest on the top picatinny rail would give a pretty good vertical alignment for the gate latch cuts. If the barrel was already installed and the gunsmith was fitted a pre-made pre-cut loose barrel journal, then he should have timed the barrel journal cuts vertically to the receiver.

The point is that a gunsmith should NEVER allow a barrel to leave his shop like that, they're very easy to time, no matter which way the journal was added to the barrel. I would have immediately sent the rifle back to have the barrel timed properly. This can be a lesson for other cloners, NEVER accept sub-par work from a gunsmith. This was very easy to prevent, and it's very easy to fix. It should have never left the shop looking like this.

Unfortunately, if your gunsmith marked the sides of the barrel with a caliber or other information, the markings will now be off if the barrel is turned and timed for your gate latch. So, you can easily have a gunsmith fix the problem, but if the barrel is marked horizontally as it sides now, the gunsmith will also have to fix the markings.

There's a few ways to do this, either put the barrel on a lathe and turn down the back end to get rid of the markings, and then blend that turned down area into the rest of the barrel to keep the same profile. Or the markings can be spot welded and cleaned up. The latter will show through bluing and parkerizing, and can be seen in raw steel. But it won't matter if you powder coat or paint the barrel. The gunsmith will have to be extremely careful to take his time spot welding the markings if you go this route because the high heat can ruin the barrels tempering.

I hope this information helps and I hope that you can get it fixed. It doesn't take a crazy amount of rounds to burn out a .300WM barrel. So, shoot the shit out of that barrel, order a new Mod 3 barrel from crazynoto WITHOUT the pre-cut gate latch channels, and then have a different gunsmith install the new barrel and properly do the vertical gate latch cuts.

A USS Truman aircraft carrier lost a $56 million fighter jet after it rolled into the Red Sea. The Plane now replaces Aaron Rogers as the biggest waste of money spent on a Jet.

I’m not familiar with the hunter line. I buy lites, superlights, CTR’s and I have one Tac A1

2) yes. My 20” CTR and 20” TacA1 are both .79” right behind the muzzle threads.
3) no. They use different 10rd metal mags. Thus, the mag retention and bottom metal are different between the lite and a CTR for example. The bottom metal on the CTR is also metal, where the lites have a plastic bottom “metal”. CTR and Tac a1 also come threaded 5/8x24 and also come with a picatinny scope base. The lites are made with a scope base in the action, but it’s not standard and requires special rings or you buy a pic scope base. TacA1 also comes with a two-stage trigger. The CTR, and lites, etc are single stage

Another judge fixing to get arrested. Lol

Proof needs to get their shit together. My 300NM would show pressure no matter what I loaded. Got a local smith to ream out the freebore and the problem went away. Also had a friend have one of his WM barrels shoot 8 mills to the right and they blamed it on the gun. This is after swapping multiple barrels out to the same rifle and another Proof 300WM on and it didnt shift 8 mils like this one did.
