Nice video, good work. I use a APA Fat Bastard. Takes a bit of tuning but when you get it adjusted properly it seems to mitigate a lot of that.

DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

This isn't a response to the above, but my membership level disallows me to post directly. I'm not aware of another way to address this group without starting another thread that may not be noticed.

I've been watching from the sidelines, intensely interested in rimfire precision but heretofore unable to play for various reasons. I bought a Terry Cross stock from Paul Parrott in 2019, talked with him about a build mimicking Mr. Cross's Sentinel S.W.S. rifle and using his bottom metal. I was poised to jump into the Vudoo pool when the pandemic and other stuff hit. Now, I'm thinking about reentering and having built what's likely to be the last rifle of my life.

Aside from the entertaining Peyton Place aspects of the thread, the mechanical design discussion has been fascinating. I'm a retired physician, so numbers don't scare me, but Mr. Bush's and others' detailed analyses are fascinating. You're covering things I've never needed to think about before--never knew such questions occur.

So...let me drop an ignoramus's thought here: I like shooting a lot. As Jeff Cooper said, trenchantly, "the purpose of shooting is hitting." That's why all this business is going on: Folks here want to hit targets that are, for their ballistical milieu, tiny and far away. That's what I want to do. What I don't want to do, and what I'm not equipped to do by situation and by inclination, is to fiddle with my rifle. Yes, of course, I clean my guns. Yes, of course, I've learned to disassemble them to a reasonable extent and do kitchen table parts exchanges. But at the bottom line, I want to set it and forget it.

What I want from an M5/M5x, is a finished package. I'm willing and happy to pay for lot testing, because unless one includes a barrel tuner in their setup (thus tuning rifle to whatever ammunition they can get into the magazine), that's the only way to find what'll work. But I don't want to jigger with the magazine catch, the follower, or anything else. Within the limits Mr. Bush sets for workable ammunition, I want everything to go, first pop out of the shipping box. I want nothing to be adjustable, because with this action mated to an approved barrel with an approved chamber and approved bottom metal, the magazines, the mag latch, nothing should need tuning. Mr. Bush hasn't said that outright, but clearly that what he thinks is proper product and production design.

Maybe I'm being impertinent. Maybe I'm butting in where I don't belong. But maybe what I said ought to be said.

Anyway, thanks for your time.
Preach it brother!!

WTB MPA matrix pro EVG or 5x5 precision grip also ISO weights

Im looking for the EVG grip and the 5x5 precision grip for the matrix pro. I am also looking for weights. Mainly looking for the internals and some of the XL weights but let me know what u have. I also need a mag blocker or maybe the gray ops version of it and i also need 2 of the MPA speed nuts. Scammers don't waist your time.

7PRC vs 7PRCW

I have a 33 inch Krieger barrel. Shooting lights out. H1000 60.2 Grain with Berger 184 is shooting 0.5MOA.

2899 FPS / 60.2 grain H1000/ 33 inch Krieger barrel
I’m gonna use a little bitty short barrel 20 inch only because I’m gonna have a can stuck on the end of it and use it for hunting. My main concern is is a short action going to be a bad decision I’d like to use that Zermat short action for the hunting gun and the bat M long on my bench gun. I believe it’s a 32 inch barrel. I’m not sure it’s not been built yet either.

The amount of barrel movement in the fixed brakes is 😳

The rotating brake shows much much less movement. Pretty cool.

Uncle Bob tells them to fuck off hard

He told his niece he bought weed and pills, he is unemployed, he smashed her bedroom door and he admitted doing or talking about dope with a 4 yo kid.

Now to you, he's a hero of some sort. But to the rest of the world he's a piece of shit. If he had nothing to say he should have shut the fuck up. He's blowing a lot of wind for a guy with nothing to say. He's not on the lease so it isn't his house either.

Love Bob if you like. I'll pass.

They look like pieces of pipe. The only three barrel Gatling I know of is the U.S. .50 that we built up at GD. GAU19 IIRC. And those on the Hind are big honking cannon diameter tubes. That look like black iron plumbing pipe or PVC pipe to me.

The Hind Gatling was a 12.7mm which was the Soviet.50 BMG equivalent. It was definitely four barrels.

Edit… forgot about this guy.

Hang on. I was wrong. Forgot about this one Another GD product. 20mm three barrel. Probably enough of that hardware floating around that they might have stuck one in!

Sirhr
Big Green slings some 3 barrel 50s.
We saw quite a few Humvees running around Fort Polk with the GAU-19s mounted.

Firearms Gray Birch 10" 10/22 Chassis and Ruger 10/22 Target Stainless

Looking to sell this wonderful rifle to take the sting out of a dasher project build I am putting together. First generation chassis from Gray Birch for 10/22s and my beloved Ruger target 10/22 stainless. The barrel has this wonderful spiraled texture to it. No idea what made the barrel such a shooter but I would be willing to sell the rifle and keep the barrel for myself because it hurts to let such a shooter go. So, if a buyer wanted to use this as a build base for a 22 project, I could do that.
  • Rifle + Chassis: $700 + Shipping to your FFL
  • Everything except barrel: $600 + Shipping to your FFL
  • Chassis only: $400

    Happy to give more pictures on request of any part needed, and I am happy to text or call if needed for buyers who want to face time or something.
