Very smooth, the Shiraz provides great balance and softens the cab a touch. Darioush makes great grape juiceHmmm. How’s that?!
Still don’t. It’s pushing equally forward as it is pulling it.Very good. Now you understand how the tension is created.
Yes sir, needs some editing but this will work.@David Lott any luck on this sir?
Can you give me run down on the AR10 ?Hello,
New to the site and new to long range shooting. I could not have imagined how fun and the extent of the learning involved. Here are my two recent purchases and in the mist of taking long distance training. I reached 1770 yards with the AR10 and had the MPA bolt action made this week to compare. Both are fun....

PSWhat ever happened to that whack job on Scout who was taking us to task for wearing Bigfoot suits and making big footprints? He parachuted in like a maniac to say it was guys like us who were interfering with his serious research! And yet no epic thread post back then.. yes, I still own my Bigfoot suit.
I confess, I make a living as a gunwriter and 2A political writer. Since transitioning to this career, my tendency to be even more critical of the words I use, read, or hear hasn't helped the situation. Thankfully, my wife is patient and has a knack for placating me as I think out loud. Either that or she's good at muting me while looking like she is paying attention. Good for her.Ah! A fellow padentic. Cheers!

Thanks. I do not know what Seekins uses now. At one point they had a bolt rifle with an aluminum receiver that was using a barrel extension to carry the loads much like an AR10.Out of curiosity, do you happen to know which kind the new Seekins rifles use? I hope it's the AI system and not the Curtis.
Thanks for the explanation by the way, it was very good.
I get what you're saying, but with respect, your concept is incorrect here. There's an air gap clearance in the threads, which is why you can screw them together with only running torque. When you bottom the shoulder to the face of the action this closes the air gap on only one side of the thread and opens it further on the other side. The screw closes down the pitch diameter in the localized area and this drives axial load (tension) into the joint because the shoulders are butted against each other.Maybe “point load” isn’t perfect, but with the apposing 60* threads, the mechanism being compressed into the side of the thread is pushing forward on the tenon as it is pulling it back. I do not feel the tenon in an AWMC is loaded in tension due to the locking mechanism.
Oh, I absolutely expect this to be the case. By the way, I think I used proprietary incorrectly here. I didn't mean it necessarily to mean that it is by their own spec or design that they own. For instance, I have always had great experiences with BCM rifles and have always wanted to know what they use. They keep their sources tight-lipped for their own reasons, but I don't think my description of proprietary is really accurate in that sense. Maybe I'm being pedantic. In any event, yeah, I agree.If they were doing something proprietary then maybe, but most of them aren’t.
I realize what I’m seeing now. Shit was playing tricks on me…The FOV between the March 5-42 and the ZCO 5-27 is actually quite significant and will make targets feel smaller but the mag ranges are virtually identical between the brands on top tier optics.
