What are some solid suppressor choices for a AI AW 308 26"?

TBAC for sure.

I have been using AA2520. It works great with the 77's. I love the way it meters

I worked up a decent load with it in my pws mk114, but I never loaded it in any quanity. Got distracted with other projects. I need to get back on that.

I think next time around I may try TAC.

I usually carry a Glock 33 as a pocket pistol but with an empty chamber.
My Sig 1911 in 357 Sig on the other hand always has a loaded chamber.
My Sig P320 in 357 Sig is a Frankenstein built from two separate Sig P320's and has an external safety.
It is carried with a loaded chamber.
As a trained Root Cause Investigator, I can tell you human observation and memory of what occurred is the last place one looks for objective evidence of what occurred.
I believe most (All?) of these non-commaned discharges are the result of holster interference or mis management of routine cleaning and incorrect reassembly.
The Remington Trigger comes to mind where I actually witnessed an uncommanded discharge.
Checking sights before deer hunting, my God Son's 700 was sitting in the rests loaded and discharged.
His recollection is that he DID NOT touch the trigger but no amount of testing could replicate the uncommanded discharge.
Therefore no firearm is 100% safe and a long as you have it pointed away from a person, you should be OK.
Spontaneous discharge in a holster is most likely due to interference that may or may not be replicated.
-Richard

Remmington knew they had a defective trigger. The bean counters didn't want to spend the additional 5 cents per rifle it would cost to put Mr Walkers redesign into production.

I have never heard of any of the other popular striker fired pistols going off while in a proper holster.
Like someone once said " I never experienced a tire blowout but there is enough evidence out on the highways that they occur much more frequently than we think."

Sometimes winning is not losing any more. America has been slipping away for decades, seemingly faster and faster. For now it feels as if that slippage has slowed. The freedom-hating democrats are in full retreat. The complicit leftist MSM has been put on-notice. The YouTubz is full of sky screamers, which amuse me to no end. EF Super unleaded is more than a dollar less a gallon than last summer.
I mean, I wasn't exactly expecting 3.0% mortgages or a 30% decrease in consumer goods. While it would be nice., doesn't seem likely for anyone. Plus, we're only an eighth-ish of the way along. I'll play along for awhile longer.

What would "winning" look like for y'all?

Don't kid yourself. We're losing at a faster pace than we've ever seen in our lifetimes.

this place is going to be a digital Gaza in the near future. You want to hear another unpopular opinion ? We'd have been better if kamala had won the election. There, I said it.

She's an idiot, dont get me wrong, and I firmly believe 90% of democrats are just plain wicked, but hear me out. People were spurred into action and there was quite a bit of resistance at the local level and especially in the rural areas. Now people have just been lulled back to sleep. At peace because the "anointed one" and that's what they call him, is back in power.

This is a pretty good summation of where we're at. I don't always agree with everything this guy has to say, but I think he's pretty close on this one.

I’ve got a 420 ZCO, 5-20US, but I think you should add the 4.5-28 March HM to your list.

Light, compact, killer glass and great turrets. Just another option - no bad choices here.

Is the market distressed enough that a bank will take a big loss? I know that we're headed in that direction, but it seems that banks won't capitulate until much later in the cycle.

Or at least an HK.
They may hate you, and you might suck but their pistols don't fire uncommanded.

Back in post #259 I posted about a fellow church member who had a gopher problem and how I volunteered to thin the population. Little did I know it would turn into a part-time job. Started the projects with rimfires and eventually worked up to centerfires.

Most of the shooting was with a Tikka SV .223 and the Bergie 17HMR. The SV was new this spring and I had some trouble finding a load the 8 twist barrel liked. Finally used some Hornady 60 gr Vmax and could keep 5 in a 1" dot @ 100 yds. The result are quite satisfactory.

I figured out a simple method of keeping tracks of hits and ended yesterdays shoot with 1,088, all from the same landowners property. I'm sure there's another hundred or two left to add to the count.

As soon as they roll up these windrows there will be more good shooting.

Best retirement job ever!

Concerns specific to this one instance? Not really; I like Ruger as a company and frankly Anderson didn't bring anything to the market that's irreplaceable.

Concerns in general? Yeah; continued consolidation and concentration of capital and market share is a problem because if it continues unchecked then we'll eventually run the risk of a fragile industry. I don't see much current risk of that in the manufacture of firearms but it's a real problem in the ammunition industry.

On a side note, expect much more of this in coming years as the Boomers continue to retire. Some of the businesses will successfully be sold or passed on; many will just fold.

Will Ruger keep the Anderson level pricing or will they raise prices because it's now "Ruger???"

Anderson's dead, dude. Their assets will probably be used to make more Marlin 1895s or Ruger MkIVs or whatever's in demand at the moment. Hate to say it, but the market probably won't miss Anderson when I can get a three-pack of PSA receivers for $120.

I've killed alot of coyotes with the Winchester 45gr JHP before I got into reloading for my .223's.
Sierra 55gr work great, vmax bullets work great, Hornady 75 gr work great too...being fur friendly is a different matter...the heavier the bullet, the bigger the wound....

That's what I'm looking for. Something that will crossover with the 77's in 223 and the 169 to 178 in a 20" 308. I'm using varget now but VV is cheaper.

Thank you...

I replaced the old rice last night with new one and cleaned the bowl. I'll see here soon if they got cleaned up.

Y'all should do a deep dive into WW2.

Just rich Jews murdering poorer Jews, blood money laundered through Jews owned Swiss Banks. Other people and nations used as tools.

Was also done to gain world attention to start a Jewish state.

You will have to remove the cerakote from inside the action and from the bolt, if the bolt was coated. I made that mistake on my first Deviant.

Yep

Cleaned it out the other day and it’s considerably better

IIRC the Air Force called it a Dining Facility. The difference in names probably has a great influence on the quality of the food served

Early 90s I had a staff job in Korea. We were a collection of various specialities that oversaw seven sites that would receive different units if the NKs got ambitious. At a staff meeting the commander introduced a female TSgt as the new whatever they were called. I piped up and said, “Oh, you’re responsible for the chow halls, gyms and barracks, right?” In a very indignant tone she replied, “I am responsible for the dining facilities, fitness centers and dormitories.” I asked if we had any frat houses on campus.

Needless to say she did not attend my going away bash.

Hey Victorias Secret… are you now soooo out of touch with America that your dumb-as-stumps models don’t even know how to wear a cowboy hat the right way around????

Don’t answer that… probably not even a chick… just some Brokeback dude trolling for chicken by wearing his hat backwards…

I too appreciate a decent watch and never leave the house without one along with the day's choice of a pocket knife, and at least one pistol.

For watches I either go with a Tag Formula 1 or a solar Gshock. For a knife it's typically something from Case, Cooper Cutlery, Canal Street or Great Eastern Cutlery. (I'm a total pocket knife whore).
