what kind are they? Reason I ask, is I have a 1882 Remington 10 guage. You can tell it from the newer 1885 by tne shape of the cocking hammers.. My great grandfather bought it in Elk River, MN in 1885

Yes I have read the report I was just wondering if anyone else had seen it.
There is a sentence in the report which states on page 5 an MSP armorer installed the MODIFIED trigger so the pics are not factory finished parts.

As far as I understand, they were focussing on the function (or failure) of the striker safety and modified other parts for that purpose.

@sirhrmechanic I want to pour a raised pad for protection from water. Not because the existing slab needs reinforcement. Just in case I ever have a burst pipe or something stupid. Additionally, my insurance specifically requires any items stored in the basement that I wish to be covered under the policy must be raised 6" off the ground level.

Thanks for posting the complete document.

Not physically possible. More performance equals more blast. So what is it? Does it have more performance and more blast or less blast and less performance?

Only semi true. Quantity of air moved does equal performance, but air “Blast” can move in multiple directions to achieve the same result.

As always, thanks opining and offering your insight into the scope world that most of us do not know/see.

Do you have any opinion on the proliferation of companies sourcing LOW scopes, versus just 4-5 years ago? How do you feel about it? More competition drives down prices... Macro 101 and all... but it seems fishy to me... their must either be huge margins or a lot of companies trying to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller.

If you would prefer not to address this, I understand as well.

I have no problem addressing it, but I am about to kick off a livestream where it will likely come up.

Just wondering if you really need the concrete slab on your slab? If you are looking to reinforce the existing slab, you could grab a 36 x 48 piece of steel… 3/8” or 1/2” and anchor that to the floor. If you really want to spread the load, put it on a layer of grout or even tile adhesive. then put the safe on that. It would be easier than pouring and a lot less work. And certainly give you a solid pad for your safe.

Just a thought.

Cheers! Sirhr

Never have I loved to agree with someone so disagreeably.

Whatever I choose it will have to work with the factory barrel

Not a CZ 457 or 455. They have easy to swap out barrels. You can convert to .22lr, .22WMR, .17M2, or 17HMR with just a corresponding barrel and magazine if going to the magnums from standard.

You could probably find factory barrels on gunbroker. And Lilja makes aftermarket ones.

Just found this thread after searching online for the Gracey matchprep.com website, which as stated above is for sale. Mr. Gracey has passed away, and his business is closed.

I need to prep some cases that will be necksized only, not full length resized. Come to find out the Gracey trimmer needs to have your case holder sent back to them with 2 loaded cartridges so they can machine it since their standard case holders only fit FL resized cases

Anybody know of someone that could perform this upgrade? I'd actually like to buy a new .308 caseholder and have it machined. That way I can still use my other .308 holder for trimming FLR cases

I think generally speaking you’re probably correct in this. I will say this, hathcock didn’t write a book. Someone else did and I’m sure it was with interviews with him. Hathcock and EJ Land DID write the book in scout snipers and it really set the standard for a lot of how things are done in the bush. Now there is some new cat named chuck mawhinny and he’s claiming that he’s the real sniper and everyone else is a fraud.

Interesting, when I went to sniper school in 2009, everything was based on the FM23-7. I don't think that's current information.

God I loathed that asshat McPeak

I remember seeing his quote framed and hanging in maintenance shops, aerial ports, etc. all over the world. And was told there’s an engraved plaque of it hanging in every missile solo too.

Paraphrasing from memory:

“The Air Force is not necessarily a career opportunity for non-Fighter Pilots; or God forbid, those who don’t have wings at all”

He told academy seniors, “Too bad only 15 percent of you will see the real Air Force.” He worked on the obama election campaign. Pretty much confirmed what I always thought.

Meet him once. Came across as an entitled kid of a politician or very wealthy asshat?

KYAggie said:

Yeah and that quad sized douche didn’t work for any of his wealth either; it was handed to him. It’s funny how rich people who got rich by their own hard work are often decent people, but their kids and grandkids go down the toilet after inheriting their wealth. He would be another complete failure if he was elected president.

Kids raised in luxury almost never have a work ethic. There are notable exceptions. Not many people work as hard as DJT, but how many times have we seen a company make it through Grandpa and dad, and they have an excellent company, plenty of innovation, but the third generation never struggled and they tank the company? I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I'm afraid is happening at Weatherby right now. No actual innovation in decades. The best things they've ever done happened in the 40's-60's. The only thing they've done in modern history is rebrand a few existing wildcats that nobody uses, create a mediocre 700 footprint action that nobody wants, and most recently, revive a dead varmint cartridge that nobody wants, and is only available in an expensive tree corpse format. I love weatherby, but I'm afraid they are circling the drain.

If you have box of assorted drill bits, you might be able to try those going flat end in (not cutting end) incrementally up in size and see where the pass fail size is. Get a pin one step above the last drill bit that goes in
