Accessories AXMC 308 SFP bolt and firing pin

Doubled up a forgotten backorder and PX purchase a while back and ended up with an extra 308 1.6mm small firing pin bolt for an AXMC, #27773. It's brand new and never used.

I also have a brand new 1.6mm small firing pin to go with it that you can install in your current bolt shroud assembly. Neither AINA, Mile High, nor Euro Optic could get this for me-- they all said I had to buy a complete 308 SFP bolt assembly or firing pin and shroud assembly to get the 1.6mm firing pin. I had to go through sporting services UK who in turn had to get AIUK to create a new part number to sell just the AXMC 1.6mm firing pin by itself. Took about 6 months, but it's finally here.

Asking $825 shipped and insured for the bolt and firing pin. Payment via Zelle, discreet PayPal f&f, USPS MO, or check (will ship when payment clears.)

Optics Zeiss S3 6-36x56 MOA reticle, BARELY used, 1900 shipped

Selling this to fund other builds. This scope is one of my favorites but it's really too much scope for the rifle it was on. HATE selling it but I shot that rifle twice and hadn't shot it since. Been on the shooting bench only. Was just looking at a 900 meter stop sign in my backyard in clear, sunny conditions with mirage, and I could see EVERY bit of detail on that sign. I have everything it came with, plus a mirage cap custom made by that one dude that, well, makes mirage caps lol. (forget his name) The rear scope cap is right from Zeiss, and the front is custom made, so that you can flip up the cap and still screw in a sun shade or mirage cap. This scope is pristine. It was my crown jewel but I really dont shoot the rifle it was on so, here she is.

NO trades, and paypal f&f preferred.

I MAY be going TDY here shortly, so I will let you know depending on when purchased, when I can ship out. Or I could take it with me and ship it out there. Thanks.

Anschutz 1727 magazine basepads

My Vudoo hated Polar so much I have yet to try it on anything else.
Luckily my Vudoo and 1727 both shoot the tightest and most reliable with a certain speed Lapua Long Range. My Lonestar/Shilen Ratchet combo with a PQP tuner isn't happy with anything but Midas+ and only one speed lot of that. Thinking at some point, health permitting, I'll take a trip down to Whidden's and see if I can find a Eley happy place.

End of an Era: Boy Scouts of America Officially Changes Name to Embrace Inclusivity After 114 Years!

It’s no longer men teaching young men morals, standards and outdoor skills, associated with patriotism and good citizenship.
Now openly homosexual persons (both male and female) are allowed to openly serve as Scout Masters. Girls are allowed to be in Scouts, instead of going to Girls Scouts (which also teaches abortion!) . That’s the program in general.
In one troop, I have seen that the girls are segregated to their own Patrol, (like a platoon), with no boys, but only because they are a Church sponsored group. The Catholics and LDS dropped them locally, and I am sure LDS dropped them across the board. Can’t speak for the Catholics.
The local Scout troop has a good track record, and have joined in several group activities, that are STEM related. Our Amateur Radio Club and the Scouts, recently build a satellite transponder for fox hunting (same as a space capable satellite, but for ground use). We also sponsor Parks On The Air, which is a joint operation with Jamboree on the Air. The local Scout Leaders are pretty strait-laced, and the kids who participate are pretty serious, which is encouraging.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) cut ties/ officially dropped in 2018.

Accessories Harris picatinny bipods VGC 95 shipped ea.

20250508_161418.jpg
I have three 6-9" Harris bipods with picatinny attachments and Short Action Precision tension levers on them. They are the "S-BRP"s, where the smooth legs are sprung inwards, and held in place w/ the tension knobs. 95 shipped paypal f&f only.
This is about a 40 dollar savings from buying new. I used these very little as I prefer my other harris sbrp where the legs spring out.
These are nice and light weight, lock up pretty tight, and take up little room in the rifle bag.

No trades, and paypal f&f preferred.

tacom structured barrel

Generally with very advanced fire control computers. Even the old battleships had analog computers that were filled with gears and wheels that computed the gun position. These take into account the characteristics of the barrel.


View attachment 8682642

Modern guns (like the Abrams) have computers that take temperature, barrel droop, number of rounds fired, humidity.... all kinds of factors into the shot. If you look, you can see a laser on the barrel that is part of the system.

None of that really applies to small arms (yet).

The part of the 'calculation' that folks are discussing here is "internal ballistics." What happens from the time the primer is struck until the bullet leaves the muzzle. After that it is "external ballistics." The instant it hits a target, it is "Terminal Ballistics."

The structured barrel addresses internal ballistics.

Thanks for the tag, @Makinchips208 ... I'll look at that book. No, not familiar with it.

Cheers,

Sirhr

If a sliding weight made a Abram’s “that” much more accurate…I think with the 1 trillion military budget and about 10-15k per DU sabot…they would already have a sliding weight.

Just sayin’

PRS Range gear bags for match day

I just settled on the Platatac Spur:


There are several YouTube videos that demonstrate the pack’s features better than the above listed website does.
