Little story…Luke AFB so long ago we were still flying biplanes.

USAF trained Luftwaffen pilots in F-104s there.

The Germans regularly flew in German food and booze for their boys in in flight suits. Maybe that came out of that logistics center at Dulles…maybe.

The Germans seemed to really appreciate their pilots….maybe because they flew that fucking death machine…the F-104.

You could see the burn marks in the desert off the end of the runway where a few augered in.

We USAF guys LOVED the Germans because their mommies obviously taught the to share

Erich Hartmann - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Erich Hartmann commanded an F-104 squadron in the West German Luftwaffe and trained at Luke.

One of the greatest Aces of WW2 with 352 kills, he crash landed in his F104 in the 1960’s. When he got out of the plane, all he was reported to have said was: “353.”

He was one who always thought the F104 was unsafe.

The 20MOA rail is the only one I have seen. Mine looks the same as your pictures, as much as I could compare visually.

Oh that makes sense, I thought the front and rear moved seperate from each other.

And yeah this would have been nice 10yr ago but ballheads have come a long way.

Check for end cap strikes. Inspect the target impacts for any sign that the bullets are unstable when they impact. Oblong holes, even only subtly, might indicate that the bullets are impacting the can as they exit.

I'm not seeing them anymore if "they" was Aero themselves.

I didn’t even know she was still alive….

Little Drummer Girl was pretty good, too.

Thanks all. It looks like the bullet will be doing under 240k rpm, so that should be safe in terms of it spinning apart(?)

Yes, you're not even close.

This story was hilarious seeing morons on both the far left and far right who don't know shit about the history of foreign governments training with the US military getting their knickers in a twist.

Anyone who has flown through Dulles would recognize that the German Luftwaffe (yes, it’s still called that) has their own large facility at the airport. Mainly a cargo logistics facility…. But it’s staffed by German personnel. And is technically a base.

Exactly right Boilerup… it’s a Nothingburger

Another potential reason to weigh your suppressors when new. That way you know when it is clean…

Looking for an mdt crbn in the veil cumbre. Will only do business with established members and will want to FaceTime before purchase. Thank you

10 lbs., $375 ftf.

Not really looking to ship, but if you want to make all the arrangements, OK.

From your mouth to God's ears! I'm not having the problem now, but I am shooting in the apparently soupy Virginia air, not the whispy Montana stuff.

You’re thinking about this the wrong way though. Your slightly high SG will result in a slightly higher BC, the lower air density is going to further increase performance.

MK20 · Oct 11, 2025

You have been sold some type of ballistic whiz bang calculator which is probably a good calculator, but wherever you learned to use it gave you bad info. Overspinning bullets really isn't a thing until they start blowing up. Air density has nothing to do with this and I don't really know where you got this idea.

Don't worry. You will be fine.

Give any consideration to sitting at your child’s bedside, through this serious event?

Put the credit card down. You’re fine, forget about it. The only problem with “over spinning“ is bullets failing mid flight. If you’re not having that issue, you are fine, and a lower air pressure isn’t gonna make bullet failures more of a thing.

Read the last part, you're saying this is not the case? The schematic/cross section that SLR has for their .750 gas block does not denote that it is a clamp on or set screw. Unknown if they have the same cross section. $130 is a big investment only to find out it doesn't fit.

As I said, the AGB's I mentioned will fit inside Geiselle & BCM & naturally SLR's..................I know that because I've used them there. I have never used an Aero rails in 30 something builds so I cannot guarantee, but both Geiselle & BCM are small.

But the original post about interference on a non-clamp GB is telling.

YMMV
