Optics Leupold Premier Scope 3.5-14x

Sil17sd
This listing is for a Leupold Premier Scope 3 1/2 to 14 power scope. It is the LPS with 50mm side adjustable objective lens. Matte finish with a Duplex reticle, 30mm tube. Used but in good condition. Scope comes with Leupold high rings and butler creek scope caps. “Quite possibly the ultimate riflescope, the LPS 3.5-14x50mm Side Focus features a turret mounted side-focus parallax focus knob so you can adjust parallax settings from the shooting position. Serious hunters and shooters will definitely be able to appreciate the utility of this feature. Another important feature of this model is its extended-length maintube, allowing plenty of mounting space to fit the largest rifle actions. Extremely light-weight for such a high-powered scope, the LPS 3.5-14x50mm Side Focus model still maintains legendary Leupold ruggedness, making it a luxury on long hunts in rough country and a sophisticated scope for seasoned hunters.

$600 obo, Payment via PayPal FF/Check, shipping included to lower 48.

And they punted again

Roberts and the rest of the turds are trying to wait out Justice Thomas and Alito. Once those two die or are forced to retire there won't be anyone on the court that thinks the 2nd Amendment is an actual constitutional right.

Anyone that lives is a state that still has gun rights better get politically active because the Supreme Court isn't going to be helping you in any way.

Feds building cross dept gun owner database

I guess.

Pretty big difference between isolated government agencies running cobol databases you have to basically provide the blood of your firstborn to query, and a Palantir aggregator of social media, purchasing records, all cross agency databases, and chucking it up in the cloud with massive resources allocated for casual local law enforcement access.

If you think these two things aren't insanely different scenarios you are in for a big surprise.

It's not an accident the trump admin simultaneously announces they're aggregating all of the intelligence agencies data allowing them to purchase it and making it available across agencies.

This is way more hardcore than China's social credit scoring system by a longshot.

Note, veterans are absolutely going to be instantly catalogued as higher risk and will be the front end of every dragnet. The fact that we're cataloging and assessing the entirety of the american civilian population for criminal intent, without any due process or having to justify building a case against them seems like a pretty big change of pace compared to the historic unwillingness to turn our technological weapons inward.

My take on this is that Palantir is going to be paid very nicely to act as a backchannel to feed all the private sector data the Feds aren't supposed to be playing with to the alphabet agencies so they can really get things rolling with their LLM development work. I wonder if there isn't already a civil war going on inside the government for control over these assets because of how effective they are going to be against political opponents and the electorate.

USMC Unertl MST-100/150 scope covers

USMCSGT0331
The fabric Unertl scope covers are Badger Ordnance reproductions. About a decade ago, a sniper sent Marty an original fabric Unertl scope cover so that repros could be made. Marty got the exact dimensions and fabric type from the original, and he had a soft gear wizard make a handful of these Unertl scope covers (maybe a dozen or less?). Marty sold these to members of the old M40 forum long ago, so there's a few other repro fabric scope covers out there, somewhere. Maybe a few members here have one,. If so, please post some photos! This scope cover is a wrap-around design that's pretty easy to use.

The rubber Unertl scope covers are original USMC surplus, one of them is still in the original bag. The other one is in a ziploc bag, with the label being written by Norm Chandler decades ago (I think this cover is photographed in one of his DFA books). This cover is very easy to use, just slip it over the scope. Over time, the rubber scope covers would weaken and easily tear, so surviving examples like mine are unbelievably rare. I honestly don't even know if there are any others still in existence, these could be the only ones left. If anyone has one of these scope covers, please post a few photos!

Both types of original covers and the reproduction fabric covers are extremely rare. These covers are missing from pretty much all major M40 collections, and I don't even think there's any photos of these scope covers anywhere on the internet. I just wanted to post them here so that everyone has some type of photos and information about these extremely rare USMC Unertl scope covers. Both covers were used on multiple USMC rifles, pretty much any of them that had a Unertl MST-100 or MST-150 scope. M40A1, M40A3, M82A1, M82A3, M14 black DMR (?), etc.

If anyone has any questions or would like to see more photos, please let me know in this thread. This is probably going to be one of my last reference threads, or possibly my last reference thread. I'm out of here after the current MSSHF M40A6 rifle raffle is completed (grab some tickets, it's an unbelievable M40A6 rifle and complete kit!!!). I hope the photos and information here are useful.

Not pictured below is a basic USMC issued boot sock that's cut down the middle, lol. Yes, some Scout Snipers used a sock as a scope cover, and it worked just fine for their needs.

300 Norma Mag

SAC does not currently offer 300NM, nor does Area419. Both of them are supposed to size the base smaller than regular dies. I am using a recent-production Redding S-Type and I'm having a terrible time with clickers on the 3rd firing because it isn't sizing the base enough. I've found only two other options that might solve the problem - 1) Cortina Mandrel Expander die that also resizes the base smaller than a normal sizing die, and 2) Micron Precision bushing die that sizes the whole case, including the base to a smaller dimension than regular dies. The Micron was out of stock and was expected to be a month out so I ordered the Cortina Mandrel die on Friday, primarily just to resize the base. Then I checked today and the Micron was back in stock so I sucked it up and ordered it too. Hopefully, one of them will stop the clickers. Interesting to note is that I've been using the Redding Type-S in 338NM (same case except for the neck) with no problems since 2014. I have to wonder if my 300NM Redding die (recent production) is out-of-spec.

Battleship Shooting Game

Me and my buddies used to shoot these all the time. Very fun.

that target was back when he just turned 12 with his first .223 rifle. He outgrew and now used a 6mmbr to compete a little. He does shoot my 6.5CM a little but it's still just touch too much recoil for him (he is only just over 85 pounds).

Now he wants us to do it with his 6mm and I don't think he would miss a single shot. I have a video on youtube of him shooting his 6mm and he does 1/2 moa pretty much three 5 shot groups in a row.

B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

PappyM3 said:
I polished the ramp on the bolt that the cocking piece rotates on, and polished the cocking piece.

For the trigger, I just replaced it with a Bix N Andy using the low sear.

I’m pretty sure the cock on close is just due to the fact that the cocking piece is getting pushed rearward by the sear as the bolt moves forward while it is cam-ed in. I’m guessing the MIM cocking piece is made on the long end to make sure people don’t have issues with random triggers.

Overall it’s not terrible. The bolt is slicker than I expected and the notchiness and COC aren’t even noticed if you run the bolt fast.

COC is not ideal and not the way the B14R was intended to operate. You have an issue with the B&A sear positioned incorrectly. That is why many actions these days have trigger hangers. I used a Trigger Tech Special in mine and had no issues but the B&A is most definitely a different beast. Try a different trigger and see if the COC goes away.
