JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

When using abrasives on a gas gun , it's a good idea to use a bore scope and verify that none of the abrasive paste has collected in the gas port. Blowing the abrasive back into the BCG on a DI system is not ideal.
Yup, I agree. And who knows where else. Definitely dont want it in my trigger mech when shooting suppressed either.

Carl Zeiss Sports Optics to close shop

We will see how far reaching this is , note they had production like for conqest scopes in Hungary like S&B ,but even that one cased the riflescope buisiness and is only making camera objectives now ,will be interesting to see the knock on effects as much of euro scope makers use Zeiss and their companies Schott as suppliers for their scopes. We might be seeing a Nikon moment , full hard stop on riflescopes and binos .

Do you drink anything while shooting?

My wife used to work in a hospital. There are people who get addicted to water. So much that their intake has to be strictly monitored. They have to drain the water from the toilets in their room or they will drink it. I have somewhat the same problem with beer, though I have never been tempted with a toilet full of it.
LOL. What the fuck! Out of the toilet??? DAM MAN. Maybe those people should be culled from the herd anyhow! Still, that's like .000000000001% of the population; kind of like smart democrats.
Now beer on the other hand... that's a hard one. I am a sucker for a Guinness or a good IPA... I think about them often lol.

It's real. And it works. And most of all, it started as a bet between gunsmiths at a bar where one told another "I BET you cannot make it function though". And the rest is history...

AB Quantum Major Update 3.3 + Calypso AB Mini

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify—I’m looking to use ABQ as the solver, with live wind data streaming into it. My concern is that if the wind sensor is paired directly to an LRF, it might not be able to stream data to ABQ. That’s why I’m asking if it’s better to have both the LRF and wind sensor connect directly to ABQ. Does that make sense?
If you pair the Calypso to the LRF, it cannot stream to ABQ through the LRF. I don't know of any LRFs that are setup to transfer that data. The LRF itself would need to supply that data.

With a Garmin, either watch or Fortrex, you can have a Kestrel and an LRF paired at the same time. AB Q seems to only allow pairing one thing at a time. So you would have to connect the LRF and get your ranges, put that into your target cards and then connect the Calypso to stream the environmentals.

The only 1 thing at a time is a HUGE limitation of AB Q in my opinion. It's built on a phone, that can have multiple bluetooth connections. I see no reason why AB Q cannot do the same thing. I get that way back when AB was first created, a range finder and a kestrel were the only real things that could use the system, but times and technology have changed drastically.
You can pair a Kestrel & LRF to a Garmin Foretrex 901 but you cannot pair a Calypso AB Mini and LRF to a Foretrex 901. However you can pair a Calypso AB Mini and LRF to a Tactix 8 or Instinct 3 Tactical because they are on the new comms protocol.

Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

but there's little diff in gains between any of the bedding goops mentioned thus far. And then we factor in other things that can basically shadow out the small gain from goop, ammo/barrel/shooter.
How many different "goops" have you personally used on how many different rifles?

And yes, I do agree with the fact that the shooter & the ammo can, & usually does, over ride most gains from bedding.....................very few shooters are 1/2" capable, much less 1/4"..................ditto for ammo, including Black Hills.

Ukraine war Bullshit.


I don't think you understand the article you linked.

It's one Rooskie Asset writing a letter to the editor "apologizing" to another Rooskie Asset.

It's an opinion piece, not a news story.

If you think that they were talking about adopting Commie Kids from Russia up in Trump Tower... 🤡

Ukraine war Bullshit.

TTF, Carter Page, Michael Cohen, and Paul Manafort were the go-betweens to the Kremlin operators that were collaborating with Trump:

Konstantin Kilimnik, Dmitry Peskov, Rinat Akhmetshin, Natalia Veselnitskaya, Anatoli Samochornov, etc......

It wasn't a "frame," he was collaborating with our Adversaries. This is American history. People went to jail.

How do you think they got Trump to show up on the border of East and West on the 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION and surrender to the Soviets???

Serious question.

If you hate Russians so bad, why aren't you fighting them?

Bartlein Barrels Update

Well.... here we go....

The steel tariff's are in place and possibly going up again. I was on the phone again our mill rep yesterday and they will be here for a meeting tomorrow as well.

I don't know where the proposed additional 25% increase is going as of right now but the first 25% is in effect with our next steel shipment we receive later this week or early next.

Price is going up $15 effective today.

Any orders in house.... you still get it at the price on your confirmation regardless of when it ships.

Later, Frank
