That should help Powder Valley get insurance money quickly. Still have to hassle with the insurance companies anyway, but those investigations will help a ton.

Their $$ status, between fire and insurance company coverage returns, will not be easy. Faster insurance turnaround will help a lot.

There won't be any hassle with their insurance carrier. The issues will be establishing inventory value and policy limits. The really big issues will be getting permits from the local government to rebuild.

If the fire was determined to be accidental the type of accident makes a difference. Was it faulty wiring? Is there a wiring contractor that needs to be put on notice of pending subrogation? Was the accident due to human negligence? Does that person and their insurance carrier need to be put on notice of pending subrogation? Was it an act of god, like wind, lightning, animal related or other natural occurrence that caused the fire?

Guys that make the kind of comment above amuse me. They are the same guys that want complete paint jobs over a door ding, or want a new transmission because they got bumped in traffic, then claim the insurance company screwed them when they don't get it. Insurance companies and their adjusters don't give two shits about your individual claim's legitimate value. They just want to settle the claim and move on to the next one. In a case like Powder Valley there will be some leg work to establish the value of inventory in a revolving inventory warehouse but that will all be settled long before they have a building built and ready to move in to.

Another question to ask is if it’s grain fed or grass fed. 100% grass fed is usually higher $ but I think it taste like mud. I couldn’t even give my leftover frozen steaks away in my area. But when I finally did she was happy to have grass fed and thought they were the best. We’re talking upwards of $50 for 1 kc strip in western ks.

Thanks. I’ll try that instead of contacting him directly through emails.

I have not tried them micarda version, but it couldn’t be less slippery than the polished carbon fiber not that I’ve ever had a problem with it.

Thanks Richard think I'm going to get one of these ordered up, looks like this knife rabbit hole is going to be pretty deep.

Another vote for Accu-tac. Got a couple and they are really tight. Just seem well made.

But, it sells laundry detergent…

I have been thinking pretty hard on ordering a ZT 0562MIC, I just like the micarta scale. seems like it would have a better grip than the CF, is this an accurate assumption. I have a lot of knives but this will be my first good quality knife, it will be used for EDC. is there much difference between the micarta and the carbon fiber.

Hi
It's quite a long process, as you need to have a justifiable reason why you want to own guns. Then it's a doctors letter, 2 referees and police visit to ensure they have correct storage etc. Some police forces are quicker in this process than others some it can be 4 -6 weeks other 12 months +

Interesting, I had heard it was quite the process.

There are a ton of great knives under $250, but I also wanted it made in the United States and I was originally looking for another ZT to replace the 0562CF that I thought was lost last year . My ZT 0562CF was my main edc for years and I would not have even looked for a new knife if I didn’t think I lost it on a trip. I grabbed my ZT 0630 (Emerson designed with the wave) to carry and there is nothing wrong with it, but I didn’t love it like the 0562CF. Going down the rabbit hole led me to CRK and finally the Umnumzaan in Magnacut (63-64 RC). Then I went back and forth between the Drop Point which is a more practical blade profile and the Tanto. I grabbed the DP last year and love it but then saw CPM closing and grabbed the Tanto this year as well which I carry now. Another thing CRK does that is uncommon is their Spa Treatment. So when I eventually send in one to get resharpened, I’ll carry the other until it comes back. Having both the sand blasted and glass blasted finish, my DP sand blasted will eventually get the glass blasted finish.
IMO my search for folder is now complete. I have way more folders than I need and my kids should be covered as well.

Now when it comes to fixed blades I like mine in 3V, Magnacut or the new Magnacut variation whatever it will be called. I will be buying fixed blades and Tomahawks I don’t need just because

I have a lot of knives but this will be my first good quality knife, it will be used for EDC. is there much difference between the micarta and the carbon fiber.

So, let's talk about the REAL reasons there are feeding/cycling issues....

Largely, it's the 1) perpetuation of bad information, which is the greater of all offenses, 2) the failure of manufacturers to properly execute in the design phase, and 3) the "I want to carelessly load my magazine," mentality. So, let's start at the end of these things and work our way forward.

3) The, "I want to carelessly load my magazine" mentality. This is actually an easier one to resolve as depicted by @DownhillFromHere . It's an innocent misconception brought about by various mental components, but the best I can tell, it's largely perpetuated by reason number one. Also, one should see the look I get when I ask, "well, what else about handling your firearm are you currently careless about, or what else do you believe you can be or should be careless about?" That question is a wake up call and quickly resolves magazine loading issues.

2) This next one is a challenge and I won't hit it very hard because there's truly a lot of good stuff out there that interfaces with true-to-scale rimfire platforms. Also, not everyone's design intent is the same, and I don't claim to know all the reasons why one way of why something was done versus doing whatever it is, differently, so I won't speak with conviction about what I have no insight to.

What I do know though, when it comes to certain pieces of critical information, related specifically to AICS magazine and mag well dimensions and location, I personally offered up the actual Accuracy International print information to many chassis makers. I've spoken to this before, so I won't get into it again here, but there are no chassis systems and/or DBMs that are dimensioned the same and magazine fitment is all over the map. The ones I've measured are, well, not good.

This is the single reason we have adjustable things we don't need. And what's worse is, at best, if there's an adjustment procedure provided, it's highly ambiguous, mostly because key dimensions pertaining to proper adjustment are unknown without the proper foundational information.

3) Now the doozy....

A lot of the perpetuation of bad information came from Vudoo Gun Works. Can't feed Eley ammo? Here's a follower we held to a belt sander by hand. At this point, one can refer to #2 above. Light strikes with Eley? "Oh yeah, Mike, we lowered barrel torque to 70 foot pounds because the barrels spin in the vise." They had no way to comprehend that my barrel torque spec was part of the headspace equation to ensure that it didn't matter if Lapua or Eley was in the chamber.

How about mag fitment issues and how to adjust them properly? Just watch the video where that says it's "okay if the magazine tilts forward, but if you load against a bag, you'll have a misfeed." Wouldn't this make it not okay if it tilts forward? Again, see #2 above.

Perpetuation of bad information from those not positioned to have a clue what they're saying is the cancerous source of the issues you guys have dealt with and the fact that the issues can be read in every corner of the internet proves how effective todays communications media are. I've been quiet about it until now.

So, my advice is to question the information first while always demanding a higher standard when it comes to everything else. And when you see those guys struggling with rim lock or other such very simple things; help them, it's how we police our own and how we take responsibility for this community. After that, the posers are obvious.

Can't cover up stupid mistakes and crushed ego...with emojis....

In this case, lol, I do disagree because almost no stainless touches the chamber to cause any galling...like 99.9%. Most of the SS head hangs in the air, out of the chamber and flat against the bolt face.

Speculation on something you heard about metals, doesn't count much on a product you obviously know nothing about.

With millions of rounds fired in military weapons, and much of thousand fired by me in boltguns and autoloaders...galling is not a problem.

Crushed egos.

If you think stainless doesn't gall, your about as dumb as you would have to be to think you hurt my feeling because you found a misspelled word in my post.

You're literally the retard savvy reloaders make fun of talking about "safe in my gun." Literally the kind of dude that is the reason we don't like to sit next to people at the range.

Military weapons mostly have coated barrels. No stainless on stainless contact.

No kidding, why did you design the magazine with a flaw??? people wanna know !!!

Waddles0931 said:

Yeah he said down in the comments below the video that he is working on one for the TB630. I'm looking at something for mostly 300 yards and in to put in front of a 1-10x and 3-18x. I'd absolutely love to have something like the Eotech ClipIR ELR or Trijicon UTC XII that can reach out further but I'm not sure I want to spend 15K+

Click to expand...

Honestly I'm to the point of not caring. Not that I want to spend 15K or more on thermal, but 12k? Yeah YOLO if it really would give me the ability to take animals at 400-500yds comfortably with magnification. I can't right now cause of residency. Stretching myself thin as is. I've already explained to the wife the first purchase for myself from myself after graduation is the Halo C assuming it pans out and is out.

Waddles0931 said:

I was eyeballing that too when it was announced at SHOT show. It sounds like it might be able to hang with the big dogs for a fraction of the price.

I've got the money set aside for the Guide TB630LRF already but with Nocpix and NVision I'll just hold off and see for a little bit before pulling the trigger. But I probably won't wait too long since Night Hunting season starts in December and I'd like to have something in hand by the end of November.

I got a good price on the tb630lrf from thermal game management and I’m sure SOK would also be able to get you a good deal.

This guy said he was able to use his NX8 comfortably at 10x with 12x useable, and 14x really pushing it. Previous thermal experience was Flir Breach, SkeetIR L, and the Inod Block III. He was acting like it's punching way above it's price range.
