Rl 26 has worked great for me
H1000 would also be a good choice

John Scandale of Keystone Accuracy used to use Green Mountain Barrels in AR builds. Not sure what he is doing these days or which barrels he may be using. Supposed to shoot pretty good. .22LR also.

First rounds:

I had just a few minutes before a meeting today. I had 3 guns to sight in and I had to help the boys with their 22s so this will be brief.

My large frame gas gun experience: None. I’ve had a SCAR with an eotech if that counts, and an HK91 with irons.

Recoil: It’s goofy how little recoil I felt. I can’t quantify it, but it really was laughably insignificant.

Upper/lower fit/tension: I love it. If it helps accuracy even a little I’m for it. I don’t need a punch if I squeeze the upper and lower together.

Bullet deformation/Case deformation: Case mouths get dented a little. Bullets get gouged, though it doesn’t seem to impact accuracy. ***Edit*** those gouges appear to be created on extraction, which would mean nothing meaningful is being gouged on loading



Accuracy: Remember, I have no large frame gas gun experience. After 2 rounds to get on target, I fired my first 5 round group with Berger 135 grain factory ammunition. It measured just under .6 MOA. The 20 is for size reference and to show what’s left in my wallet after this purchase. I was pressed for time and had to leave, but we’re off to a good start.

Landed in Atlanta earlier today for a connecting flight. Luckily I didn't run into the shit storm.

The SIG320 is the only striker-fired pistol in existence where the firing pin is fully retracted when the pistol is loaded with the slide cycled.

Way back when I was doing hobby level karate, a Sensei told us that the basic thing to do when attacked with a knife is to move your body out of the way. A mile or so is about right.

A long time ago I was told something similar by someone who knew abit about blade work.

There are 2 rules to knife fighting.

Rule #1 Always run from a knife fight!

Rule #2 Alway revert to rule #1!

So @91Eunozs got me wanting the cucumber salad.

Mine tasted great but boy did I shank slicing the cucumber it's self. Not thinking I sliced them paper thin, don't do that.

The balsamic vinegar was spot on for flavor and onions, bell peppers were good in it.

Wife and I finished it but disappointed with mistake.
Oh forgot fresh ginger and garlic infused the oil and vinegar and then the chunks were removed.

A good stir fry and peppers topped off supper and I used a couple of big chunks of fresh ginger while cooking it then removed them.



It was late and wife didn't want any rice.

I would cut the cucumber in 3/16th thick pieces next time.

I've got to give you sincere props there as a Dad- I vividly remember when I purchased my Luminox (I got it from Gander Mountain shortly before I enlisted) and my own father chastised me constantly for spending so much on a watch (I reckon it would have been about $250 then) and honest to goodness I still to this day remember my father's 'counterpoint' in what watch I "should" have purchased... (random picture but I assure you that it was this exact watch then)

Anyway- not trying to make this about me & my relationship with my father- just want to say that I'm sure your son remembers you purchasing that watch for him and that he still thinks about it all these years later like I am (I really do mean for this to come across as a sincere compliment to you).

Interestingly enough I did a test with a buddies PSA Dagger with a shitty 6lbs trigger and if I hold the trigger to the wall and smack the slide really hard it will release the striker.
On the other hand, my 19X with a 3.5 lbs JG trigger (before the vex shoe) I couldn’t get it to release the striker even though it’s a much lighter trigger.
Not sure if it’s a gen3 vs gen5 where you get more sear/ cruciform engagement or perhaps it’s simple as junk PSA parts vs Gaston’s OEM perfection.

SIGGERS keep coping tho, your Indo-MIM jewish gun is shit.

That’s interesting. I have a couple of ZP5’s and they both have very good turrets, I would call them exceptional. Same as the image quality. I did have to send one back though, so I hear you about not wanting to lose it for three months.

I’ve had several ZP5’s over the years, one had mediocre turrets others were pretty fantastic except for the resistance between 1st and 2nd rev which I felt was a little too tight. Sent my first scope back to Germany and said “fix my turrets please” and it came back with outstanding feel. The biggest issue with Minox is lack of support in US.

I guess the rich got tired of flying to Aspen. Taking over towns closer to home now.

Pay wall stopped me from reading but 1....that picture ain't Weaverville and 2.....there isn't any elite retreat here. Funny shit though.

The clerks at retail stores like this need to just leave when they see this happening and lock the doors on the way out. When the cops show up, all the looters will be trapped inside.

Will this import rifle data from dropbox? Or from an app like Strelok Pro?
