I'm seeing Alfred E. Neumann every time I look at his picture.

Or buy 5 at a time and rotate them each time yiu do an oil change.

Edit - was referring to the tyre post, not the 3 wheeler - those things are dangerous

@jmp1 and @Blackdirt Cowboy , I’ll have to look for Red Man again and give an update for you. That price was at the 7-11 on Eureka Way near Shasta High School about 15 years ago. At that time, I was paying about $7/can for Copenhagen which is now averaging $10.50/can. Hence my switch to Longhorn.

Needed a stiff drink after the spare tire sh*t the bed coming home from the range.

PSA - check your Spare Tire condition and replace it when you replace your other tires!

Hey, would a Badger condition 1 30mm FDE 1.93” fit this?

No a mk5 is a 35mm main tube

Coming from the USN, the idea of maneuvering warships in that close of quarters just doesn't compute. We maneuver and alter CPAs miles and miles away from potential collisions. Those Chicom ships look like they're being OODed by drunk teenagers.

Hey dude, any issues/salt? New to the forum but I’m very active on Tswap.

No issues at all pretty much new just swapping some stuff around. I tried to private message you but that option isn’t available for you unsure if it’s a setting issue. Here is my number and I will delete post once you hit me on my cell

Different lots of the same head-stamp brass don't matter squat. How many firings is really all that matters. You can sort by weight if you have to have an OCD fix, but you are altering it every time you shoot, trim, and resize it, so the specs are more dependent on your equipment than the unfired brass.

Only way to test this is to shoot the different lots. Some manufacturers are very strict on their production. Others not so much. Let us know what your results are.

I'm going to at the very least weigh them and see how close they are from lot to lot.

Well as an update... they brought in gun #5 end of the week before. They needed the gun back before the 11th as one of the guys that used it was going out for some LE training.

So John worked on it pretty much right away. Jeff here in the shop took it to the range on Monday last week. Box Hornady ammo shot sub 1/2moa.

Replaced the scope mount.

No bolt to barrel clearance. Bolt was hitting the breech face like on two of the other ones and the other two had only like .004" clearance. So John fixed that. He also had to break the edges on the chamber and bolt nose counterbore as the edges where all sharp.

Head space was good but John repolished the chamber.

Cut and recrowned the muzzle and rethreaded the muzzle.

Flip the night vision mount around.

Rifle #5 had a really loose fitting trigger in it. Either it's in the trigger body being undersize or the receiver from Remmy was cut to large. So we installed and loaned them a Trigger Tech trigger for now. It fit much better but still a little loose. I told them to send the other trigger back to the manufacturer and see if they can look at it and see what's up. I said when you get a new one bring the rifle back into us and will swap the triggers out. The Trigger Tech trigger we installed will be used by then so I told the shop I would buy it from the shop and put it into one of my rifles.

So other than the note on the trigger pretty much the same thing as the others so far.

Waiting on guns #6 and #7 now to come in.

I had that happen with a different rifle last fall but my new rifle build has a barrel installed by PVA in 6CM. On the off chance I experience a zero-shift (very unlikely to be the barrel I'm sure), would torquing the barrel to 100 ft/lbs change the headspace or cause issues if the barrel was originally chambered by PVA for a 75 ft/lbs torque?

I know this is kind of in the weeds but I'm just making sure if something pops up down the line I have some nuclear options open to me. I already switched over to a NF ATACR scope, loctited/witness marked every screw on the new gun/scope base/rings, etc.

I would be more worried about every other variable that can effect zero shift than the barrel torque. Do you know 100% it was how the barrel was torqued on? I really think your OCD is messing with you.

A very well known and respected rifle company here on the Hide for 25 years and building many hunting and match rifles doesn’t even use a torque wrench. They use a long T handle action wrench and tighten the action on the barrel, when it touches they come off about a 1/4 turn and then slam it tight. Done. That’s magnums and others. Never hear about their rifles loosing zero.
