So glad I chose the technical side and work with equipment instead of dealing with people

Funny, my family taught me to get off of my ass and earn what I have. No excuses.

Missed 2. I don’t know whether to feel bad or good. I rarely watched.

The intent for the spacer would be twofold.
1. Prevent follower tilt
2. Prevent nose-diving rounds by providing a short sled at the front of the magazine

Though it sounds like maybe I’m just unlucky.

Just be careful not to tread on toes with your design features, that patent space is very well populated by several companies. Magpul is one of them and they have the internal budget to go 50 Shades of Grey on you legally.

Nope, I never would have spotted @akmike47 in a meelyun yeers!

We started a video series... I can't promise how quickly these will come out but we will be documenting a bunch of "How To" assembly and troubleshooting videos for the precision rifle shooter.

.22GT Lee Collet Die is all that remains.

How are the gas tubes on the D.Wilson conversions held in alignment, or fixed, at the receiver end of the barrel? As in, the LMT factory barrels have a ring the gas tube passes through. I have a Craddock RTR 20” Service Rifle/SDM barrel I’m going to send off to them.

Thanks,

There is no separate ring on the conversion barrels. It's just like a standard AR-15 barrel, the gas tube passes through into the upper like a regular ar. There does not seem to be any detriment to not having that ring near the barrel extension.

The only thing I'd like to modify is the depth of Mlok screws. The handguard is pretty narrow which I like, but M lok attachments need to be removed in order to detach and reset the barrel. I've read online that you can shorten these screws yourself to allow enough clearance so that you don't need to remove them prior to Barrel detach reset.

Anybody else getting this on every X post the last 2 days? I can't see who posted it at all here on the Hide.

^thats how it’s done!

Yeah, just for future reference for anybody else planning such a trip I will elaborate a little bit to echo what you are saying.

My buddy shot the bear at only 200 yards through a narrow aperture and he would have struggled to get a shot without that tripod. Kneeling was too short standing was too tall. The tripod made any shot doable through about a 3 foot aperture 30 yards in front of us with the bear 200 yards away. He was the one telling me at the outset that my tripod was going to be too heavy and that was the impetus for this thread. After this Hunt, he said he will never ever go into the field without a three series tripod.

We live in Utah and went out to the west desert and hiked up and down with our packs, carrying steel weights and performed some quick scenarios where we would run to a position set up the tripod quickly while a timer was running, one guy would range the target the other one set up the tripod and shoot.So we definitely did some real life drills, although not as many as we should have. And next time I need to get my aerobic training dialed better because that dude is 20 years my junior, and has the fitness of a navy seal straight out of hell week.

And to reiterate, our gear was a mixture of hunting specific stuff and anything else we used for hiking biking, backcountry skiing whatever we did use our weight savings to bring to collapsible low height chair/stool things so that we could sit down and glass for hours in comfort

Some spend months working under cover, or flying around the country while on a task force. It all adds up.

Ya, like sitting in air ports stealing cash from people TSA tags for them.

How are the turrets, click-wise? I’m no huge turret snob, just curious. Some call them mushy.

Fucking atrocious clicks and HORRIBLE turret locks.
My Bushnell Bone Collector 3-9 has more tactile clicks.
The locking mechanism is horrible. When you lock or unlock it, you inadvertently turn the main turret a few clicks.
Love the glass and what mil number you're on though.

I have a FLIR, this is pretty interesting

I live in the suburbs of seattle. I'd rather go anywhere in most Western European cities than I would most major American cities. It ain't that bad.

True that , its generaly quite safe but , pickpockets are a feature of popular turist destinations and turists are prime targets. But some common sense its all you need.


Italy robberies, 97 per 100,000 people;
Ireland had 58 per 100,000,
England and Wales had 89 robberies per 100,000.
Robbery in the U.S. remains much higher, including, again, in states including Nevada (217.5), Indiana (107), Maryland (164), New York (120) and Texas (116).
In D.C., that number is an astonishing 556 robberies per 100,000 people.*

Looks like a load of fun, no real purpose, but hell I got a lot of guns with no or overlapping purposes. I kinda figured it to be loud and flashy.
