Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

6x36 I bought last year and this one I just purchased. Sorry but for top shelf optics this is an eye sore!

Edit** I contacted Lisa Welch, sales and operating manager in the US. She is reaching out to Germany to have black caps sent and sending me one. She does have RAL8000 on hand if anyone needs those.

I'm sorry but the plastic childproof battery cap looks gay as fk.

Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

J

Thank you! Trust me I’m low man on the totem pole when it comes to some on here but I do love the M40 rifles. Definitely my favorite service weapon of all time

Please don't sell yourself short, with a collection like this, you're far from being the low man on the totem pole. Now that I've sold most of my M40xx stuff, I get to claim the low position, lol. You've put a ton of time/money/effort and, most importantly, dedication into this outstanding collection. Your M40xx collection is easily one of the best ones out there, and it would be great to see some more group photos of these rifles.

Looking at your group photo, I can see that you might need a few parts from me to help round out your collection. I have a few different versions of the M40A1/A3 Unertl scope cover and some welded M40A1 transitional scope mounts. That's if you plan on building any of the vintage M40 and M40A1 sniper rifles. I have Major Dick Culver's original USMC M40 available, if you want an original rifle instead of a clone build.

Your collection is excellent, especially when it comes to different variants of the modern M40xx's. Please let me know if you're ever interested in building the older M40 and M40A1 rifles, and I'll do what I can to lend a hand. And we're all looking forward to seeing more photos of your collection!

First post here, but question regarding m855 ammo

Im not looking for absolute sub moa accuracy here. Imi razor core is too expensive per round in my opinion. M855 has always been priced cheaper than m193 every time i go to buy more ammo, and i havent found as reliable of ammo at a similar price to keep stock on.
You can buy PMC Bronze 55 grain FMJ for under .50 cents a round. You use these for practice. And stock them deep, for all manner of plinking around the farm. This stuff is available almost always.

For example:

PMC 223 Ammo

Then buy these for actual home defense for just under $1. a round. A 500 should do you, and last a good long time. This is what you defend your home and loved one's with. This stuff is barrier blind, and expands and stays together. It will also work well of game up to deer or pigs. This ammo can get hard to come by often, so buy it when you can.

For example:

Speer Gold dolt 223 Rem - Law Enforcement 55 GR SP 500 RDS FREE SHIPPING

Will they hit to the same point of impact? No, but they will be close enough, if you sight in with the Gold Dots for serious social work, and use Kentucky windage for the cheaper 55 grain stuff.

If you learn to reload, you can develop 55 gain hand loads for cheap FMJ and component Handloaded Gold Dots that hit to the same POI out to 200 yds or so. That's what I do with Hornady 62 grain FMJ's and 62 grain Speer Gold Dots.

IMHO and YMMV

7 x 5 = 27 🙄😂

Leap years are like wild cards. They can be added or subtracted as needed

I'd laugh harder if the whole thing was caused by HVAC. Those guys are the bane of structural integrity. I don't know what they teach them, but I do know it's not "Ask the carpenter before you hack shit out of your way." I've never had another trade do anything careless without talking to me first. It's the norm for HVAC.
Plumbers are a close second to what I have seen HVAC guys do. Third place goes to the shitty carpenters. And a lot of the shitty architects that can't do a plan for either of those trades

X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

Appreciate the response, I'm going to play that back with a bit of commentary just to confirm my understanding

Assertions
  • Only two devices can be connected at a time
  • Kestrel can transmit wind, temperature and pressure data to the Garmin
  • Vector X can transmit range, dof and inclination to the Garmin
Workflow
  1. With the Vector X asleep, turn Kestrel bluetooth on
  2. Take measurements - they should automatically stream to Garmin
  3. Turn bluetooth off on Kestrel
  4. Laze targets with Vector X and stream to Garmin Quick Target Card feature (Garmin is doing the ballistic solve)

If I have any of that incorrect please let me know.

After seeing a few threads and countless pages are there any other gotchas to be aware of regarding settings on any of the devices?
I actually never turn Bluetooth on for the kestrel, I find it easier to just input the values manually on the 901 than messing with connecting.

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

I having a surprisingly difficult time finding any info on how to adjust or remedy the extremely heavy 2 stage trigger. This is probably one of the heaviest trigger pulls I have felt on a rifle. It is crisp, but way too heavy. Backing out the set screw on top past flush is a no go since the upper receiver then contact it. I am assuming that the only fix is spring replacements. Is anyone aware of a company selling tried and tested springs? Open to other suggestions as well. Not really feeling like purchasing an aftermarket trigger, so I am working with the factory one.
I use this spring, it works fine. The second stage is adjustable to 500/550 grams (1.102/1.212 lbs).

Tariffs and ammo prices?

:rolleyes: That is getting old...



None of this addresses anything I said. If your belief is he is going about this the right way to get results...fine.
But please detail your opinion on how and why Xi Jinping is going to "blink".
Tired of talking to people like you.
But I know how to get rid of you.

Isn't ther a lib tard place you would fit in better?

Thou shall not take the king's fish(bluefin)

I've been fishing for giant blues, and the vast majority of people would not like it either cooked or raw. Think an oily, fishy blue fish or rainbow runner (bait fish IMO) and double it. As far as I know the Japanese are the only ones who eat giant blues.

For comparison when fishing for them you can use Ziki rigs to catch striped maceral and herring to use as live bait, and I'd say a good 30% of the time you would get bite offs because, off Cape Cod anyway, it is so shark infested. When you boat a giant blue you generally tail rope them and drag them in reverse for 20-30 minutes, with the fish bleeding in the water the whole time, to reduce the cortisols and give you a better test at the sales dock. Once you've drug them long enough they slash the gills with a big knife to kill the fish by exsanguinating it (also gives a better test). There are buckets of blood in the water the whole time, and even the sharks won't touch it. One explanation is that the blues swim so fast the sharks can't catch them so they're unfamiliar with the taste, but it may be because it's one of the nastiest and fishiest fish in the sea. By the captain's, whom I fish with, telling it's not good raw, and not good cooked, and not good for anything but selling to Japan.

That said, maybe you can deep fry it like a carp and it's edible. 🤷‍♀️

Ever seen a false albacore? Aka bonita here in the Gulf, aka little tuny.
Yeah....i eat them. Love em cooked or raw. There is no way a bluefin is darker and oily as a bonita.
If you do not cut the fish up correctly, then a cat wom't eat it.
There is no bad meat, only shitty butchers and cooks.
No...with all due respect i have seen bluefin meat...your observations sound like they come straight from a person who only eats codfish and haddock. No way the cuts ive seen aren't deliciious.

Edit to add:
"Only japanese eat that shit."
That really is an oldy but goody. Heard it first 30 years ago when they were trying to "save the billfish"
I fucking hate people who act like catch and release is some kind of divine religion. It is custom made for self righteous cunts.
The mantra about sailfish being inedible by anyone but them nasty japanese is complete bullshit.
Bled, field dressed, and properly iced, they are delicious. So are most species of shark. Yet we have a false narrative going on now to save the sharks...."they aren't good to eat! And they are endangered!"
BULL SHIT.
