I saw this documentary

Quick Update:

V-Series Aluminum Magazines:
I'll have machined Aluminum first articles of the V-2210 next week! This initial effort for production is a milestone in the design, development and manufacturing process and, once parts are in-hand, the next steps begin and I'm closer to the LRIP, followed by flipping the larger switch into full-blown production. I'll be onsite for initial validation and will share photos with you guys as the process unfolds.

Also: For those continuing to reach out about the Pre-Order for the V2212 and V2215 Magazines, PRE-ORDER IS OFFICIALLY OPEN AS OF RIGHT NOW!!!!

The same process for pre-ordering the V2210 applies, and the V2212 and V2215 Pre-Order price is the same; shoot me an email ([email protected]) and I'll get you squared away. I'll announce Pre-Order for the V2217 at a later date.

X-Series Aluminum Magazines:
The X-Series (RimX Compatible) Magazines aren't far behind the V-Series and testing officially starts tomorrow. I appreciate all those that reached out to assist by way of offering up your RimX platform and time on the range. I'll provide details as the testing unfolds and keep everyone informed regarding availability.

Receiver Wrenches:
I have Gen 1, Right Hand Receiver Wrenches and will be shipping them, starting today. The remaining versions are through tumble and out for laser engraving and will be shipping week after next. For those waiting for the Gen 3, Right Hand, I appreciate your patience as I worked through a few things, but I had to ensure that what you're receiving is nothing less than the best.

Standard M5 and M5x Detachable Bottom Metal:
Manufacturing Engineering will begin after the LRIP for the V2210 Magazines.

V22 Parts: Single Screw Cocking Piece:
Gen 2/Gen 3, Single Screw Cocking Pieces are inbound and will be available as soon as they land. I'll post here when they're available, as I know many of you are dealing with the screws in the two-screw version loosening.

I've also received a lot of outreach about proper adjustment, which I have spoken to in the individual emails I've received.

*For the purposes of working with valid information:

**Do not follow the procedure outlined in the VGW video that uses a piece of paper to determine "firing pin location."** This procedure is wrong and references the wrong component and datums to determine proper adjustment.

Instead, bear-in-mind, when the adjustment is made, one is not positioning the firing pin, but instead, positioning the cocking piece relative to actual sear location. This adjustment is necessary because sear location varies across trigger brands and across triggers of the same brand. This is why the adjustment is necessary for optimal ignition tuning.

As soon as I have a few minutes (likely during X-Series testing at the range next week), I'll do a video outlining proper adjustment of the cocking piece.

Thank you to all that reach out and I appreciate this community being so responsive to the efforts that push things forward.

Check your body alignment, sounds as if you are constantly trying to muscle the gun into and hold position causing it to wander. Shoulder placement as well. When you shoot, the gun will track differently, that recoil is like water-it will look for and find a hole.

What are the specs on the grendel barrel? Length, profile, twist?

Thought I saw one in the woodpile.

I tested 4 more loads yesterday. All were well above book max. No pressure signs (except last load) but called it quits before physics got mad at me.
This was all done with Power Pro 2000MR, CCI 450s and Alpha SRP brass.

47.0- 2706fps avg (group .33")
47.2- 2716fps avg (group .25")
47.6- weirdly 2706fps avg again (.70")
47.8- 2756fps avg (group .55")
This last load has mild primer flattening and a mild ejector mark.

None of the SD's were in double digits.

I am not going to run any of these regularly but it was a fun experiment.

I will say it again though, Alpha Brass is AMAZING stuff.

Alex, I'll take "What is no lard ass, blue hair hogs for $200?".

The Great Society is going as planned

Meanwhile the King's men are enforcing grass heights. Drive 7 mph over the speed limit and you are paranoid that a cop is going to get you.
A friend was restoring a car and it took him about five years to finish it. When he went to register it they charged him for the five years that it was in his garage completely stripped down. He told them that he has dated pictures of the restoration and it was never driveable. They did not care. Pay the King's fees or no registration for you.

I started off shooting the Hornady 88 grain bullets and they shoot best for me almost touching rifling so to do that the bullet is barely in the case and you have to use extreme care seating it to not get any runout as only about half the neck is holding the bullet. With super meticulous hand loads I was getting only 3/4 moa accuracy.

I was making hits on 12 inch plates at 1000 yards and it was very nice that the barrel never got hot but I took that barrel off and its in the closet now with other barrels i am not using. I waited 8 months for that barrel also as it was nitrided by criterion. BTW it was 1-6.5 twist

So far no complaints on the action other than something that I notice on this action that I have never picked up on with any other action I've shot. When I chamber a round and close the bolt, I have to apply extra pressure moving forward or the bolt seems to have this weird hitch and won't close. Maybe it's normal for that action. I've never given it a second thought after leaving the range.

McMillan did the inlet and Jon Beanland built the rifle. I have yet to take it to any kind of distance but so far out to 300 yards it's been the most accurate rifle I have owned.

Wait till you got caught by an inspection at the gate. More than a few people had their careers ruined thanks to Clinton disarming Soldiers.

In 2016 a rule DoDD made a directive that local commanders could authorize concealed carry. With the emphasis not placed on individual responsibility in our current society, commanders erred on the side of safety for their careers. How soon before we see another FT Hood, Naval Ship yard, Recruiting Station or FT Stewart shooting again, Soldiers were made soft targets by Clinton and kept that way thanks to the weak sauce. Just my .02 aka opinion

Not sure if it’s still allowed, but before I left the panhandle, you could carry loaded firearms through the gates on Hurlburt Field if you were assigned, retired LEO or a member of the rifle/pistol club. Had to leave it in your vehicle, but at least I didn’t have to stop, download and stow before entering.

Don’t drive 10 miles east and try that at Eglin.

I get notices if my trash and recycling bins stay on the curb too long. Occasionally pass an apartment complex that is less organized than Fred Stanford’s junk yard.

This did not need to happen. A single pass with a C-123 Provider dispensing a combination of dichlorophenoxyacetic trichlorophenoxyacetic acids would have prevented gunfire…and eventually killed the home owner.

At that point, you might as well go with a 2011

But, but they aren’t’t perfect.

Per KRG T1x and T3 use the same torque 65 in lb max. They recommend to not go under 45 inch pounds if you want to try different torques.

I set mine at 65 and it shoots one hole groups all day long.

I had my T1x ACE torqued at 35inlb and felt I was constantly get a slight horizontal zero shift.

Have gone up to 55inlb recently and it seems to be better amd the groups have tightens up a bit. Should probably try going to 65 and see what happens to group sizes.
