Ok.

Now you HAVE to spill it. What happened?

In the wrong pick up line. A very irritated looking lady rushed over to correct me. I said I did not know. In her most authoritarian voice she said, “I’m telling you the correct way now.” Stopped short of calling her Peppa Pig and said, “I heard you the first time.” She scurried away to confer with some other portly lady.

The DIL was concerned because they can cut you in the first semester for any reason.

Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

Snuby642
Good eats @Smokeshot

Skirt 🥩 steak has the best flavor of all beef in my opinion.

These days increasingly harder to get hold of.

When I was a young boy in Kansas I pointed it out to my dad that it was on sale.
Over 5 decades later I still remember his response, "it's tough, chewy and only Mexican's know how to cook it".

Then we moved to Texas. Lol

Hard core skirt steak cooks showed me how to cook it straight on the coals of a good fire by fanning off the ash and laying it strait on quickly about 2 minutes per side .

That is my favorite way to cook it .

Lot of people still haven't figured out we've been had and that the government with Trump's help is moving us even closer to the dystopian future we have feared for decades. He does what his masters want. Not what the people want.

Yep. It doesn't take much critical thinking to understand how one goes from JD Vance to Peter Thiel to Palintar to universal surveillance with "no meaningful distinction between the public and the private sector in the American regime" (Vance's own words).

But conservatives are the ones who voluntarily bent over for government surveillance and LE overreach during the war on terror, and I'm confident they'll do it again.

Aero Solus stock barrel change is absolute war

Rubicon Precision

My best guess is that you aren’t using a viper barrel vice?

Correct. I’m using one I made in 2008 that uses raw aluminum half bushings.

And I agree, a vee vise is not a good choice for removing factory barrels. Everyone tries to put some sort of material between the vise and barrel when clean, dry raw aluminum works awesome and doesn’t hurt any finishes. It may transfer a little aluminum color over to a parkerized or cerakoted barrel, but it wipes right off with any gun oil. I think other issues are people’s vises aren’t mounted to something that absolutely won’t move and are wasting a lot of energy flexing their bench, etc. And finally, they’re probably crushing the receiver over the threads by over tightening their receiver wrench. Tikkas are great since they have a nice flat. There’s no need to go more than just snug on the wrench.
Edit: One more thing, the vise needs to be right up against the receiver so you’re not wasting energy flexing the barrel.

Solus or Origin for first custom build?

Trigger hanger is preferred? I would never buy an action that had one. Whenever you see people having trigger issues always seems to be a trigger hanger action a majority of the times.

Ok.

I haven't had an issue with a trigger that could be tied to a hanger. But only have a couple actions with them. So I guess I don't have enough experience to have an opinion on weather they are preferred (which I didn't actually say)

I put a Bix n Andy in my Solus when I first got it, and it didn't work properly so I assumed it was the hanger interface. I tried the same trigger in a couple of my Rem 700s and one of my Origins and it did the same thing, fire when the safety was pushed forward. I sent it back, allegedly it was rebuild, tested and sent back to me. It did exactly the same thing on multiple actions again. It's in a ziplock bag on my bench as a reminder to buy trigger techs.

Bedding question

XP1K
mtwarych said:
I had a Ruger ultra-lite 257Roberts that I was having accuracy problems with. I know, what did I expect, right?

Anyway, I did the bedding and the rifle was better but not as good as I liked. All I wanted out of the rifle was something near 1MOA. It is a hunting rifle and 1MOA was more than good enough for 300yds or less.

After becoming disgusted with the rifle, I needed to ask for ideas for what could be wrong with the rifle. a forum member told me about how Rugers are very torque sensitive.

I followed the procedure of tightning the trigger guard screw to 10lbs torque and then started torquing the lug screw.

I was told to start around 25 foot pounds on the lug screw and shoot a group.

It worked. My 257 Roberts requires a torque of 15 ft lbs for the rear guard screw and 45 foot lbs for the lug screw.

Maybe checking your rifle's manufacture's torque specifications? Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?

most of the time I always end up at or around 55-60 in-lbs on my 700's. I have played with the torque on a few of them and different torque values will yield different results.

I haven't tried that yet with this one. Thanks for bringing that up.
