Any intrest is selling the barreled action?

It’s probably dirt on the Clintons…

You know how that ends!

I ended up getting inline fab QD mounts for all my stuff. I got the flush bench mount so I still have to mill out the recess for it yet

I run 2 of the recessed plates. I wish I had done one as a short riser. There are times wish I had little. Kre height. They also stick out from the bench a couple inches. Not a big deal but I have hit the corner with my elbow a couple times.

An amazing story… landowner and “finder” each received over 1.6 million pounds… and I remember reading that those funds are tax free!

Looks good man! I was on the fence between back in black, scorched earth, and Everglades…pulled the trigger on scorched earth…still on the fence about my color choice, but ultimately I know they all look sweet.
If you said, I apologize, but what is it chambered in?

6.5 Creedmoor. You won’t regret getting the scorched earth. I also have a manners eh1-a in scorched earth. As you can tell, I like that color pattern hahaha.

So I went ahead and ordered an L. E. Wilson expander die and mandrel as well as a case gage. They are on the way. I will see what the expander mandrel does and go from there. I wanted the Sinclair Gen 2 expander die and mandrel but they have been out of stock for a while. I have a feeling I will be ordering more mandrel and case gages in the future. I will also be full length sizing all cases from now on before I prime them.

I know, I just haven’t messed with my printer settings. I don’t get along with the damn thing in general, so I don’t see changing the settings going well.

Bolts have always been the weak link in the grendel/arc. Whoever figures that out will be a huge winner.

Has anyone broken a geissele bolt yet? Im curious to how they are holding up. Maybe the mrgg-a will kill the 6 arc for military use but the weight savings can't be ignored imo.

Alright alright I hate to do this BUT have 5 plastic Vudoo 10 rounds mags. $100 a piece.

They are collector items now.





Sarcasm obviously.

Pfft. Got you beat. I have two of the discontinued 15-round aluminum mags. Truly collector's items, and they run perfectly in my rifle.

And the follower button lets me easily load 15 rounds of Lapua ammo in August. If you know, you know. Priceless...

I run Wall Control metal pegboard on the wall and Inline Fabrication plates on my bench. I can swap my presses, vice, case trimmer, and anything else in less than a minute.

No I was just reading a story last week about some Irish cats that found a 3.5mil treasure, and they got caught shopping it around. They put them in prison. Based on this article, they stood to get a single digit % of its value eventually had they handed it over to the king's men as required.

UK actually has a great scheme for treasure finders and has worked out very well. Gold and silver must be reported. Other stuff, not required but encouraged.

But, if the items are deemed of cultural or historical importance, museums wil receive the artifacts. And the government is required to pay the value of the found “treasure” to the finder and the landowner, split 50-50. Funds come from the national lottery.

If the items are not “of interest” they are returned and can be sold or whatever.

The guy who found the Staffordshire Hoards and the landowner each got millions of pounds paid to them. And the priceless dark age treasures were restored and are in a museum (I visited it… it is magnificent).

But if you are “night hawking”’as illegal metal detectoring and stealing stuff is called… yeah, you can get in some serious trouble.

Sadly in the U.S. a lot of important historical context is lost as battlefield and other items are picked up for profit and collections.

I’m all for people looking for artifacts and relics. But a lot of times, once the object is removed from its “context” (the battlefield or place it was found) then the history is lost.

Metal detectorists and historians should work together on this stuff. But too many pompous historians regard metal detecting as a bunch of heathens. And the detecting community doesn’t want historians or “gummint”’types annoying them and telling what they can and can’t do.

The UK model Actually works well. But they have put a lot more thought into preserving a long, long history AND they have funded it very generously. Which matters! Because if you make a discovery, you will get compensated. Often with a lot more $$$ than you would get flogging the item on eBay.

I am sure Eastern Europe, however, just says “we’ll take that” and the folks who find it are SOL. Which is wrong… but typical of authoritarian types.

That “chest” is valuable history. And they were right to report it and try and find out more about it. But they should be paid handsomely! Or the next person will melt it down or sell it on the black market… and everyone loses.

What can I say… I’m a historian! But academic historians don’t get their hands dirty or tromp in the woods when they should!!! And they expect “discoveries” to be handed to them so “they” can get the funding to study it and write papers no one reads.

Metal detector folks are at the front lines of history. Academicians should recognize (especially financially)nand work with them… not discourage the folks who are doing the hard work!

Where did you get a date of June 2026?

Ilya posted it recently in another thread. Look at the bottom for adjusted expiration date. He believes it to be correct as some of the later stacked patents were abandoned.

I did a little roofing work when I was in college.
Back then we had to throw a square of shingles over each shoulder and climb the ladder without dropping them or falling off.
Now they have a gas powered lift to get them up there.

You think roofing is is tough, try picking and loading 2 tractor trailer loads of watermelons a day in the summer heat out in the open sunlight.
It was 130 degrees inside those trailers easy.
Or tie rebar......
Or weld bar Joyce and bridging.....
