That's incredibly annoying.

It's a shame, PGW had some cool products. They were/are a very poorly ran company.

Sadly i agree. Bought a Timberwolf package with Premier Reticle scope from them. Then bought a Coyote in .260. When i bought the coyote, i specifically asked for a 45moa rail for the Timberwolf, and they processed my order, but never sent the rail requested. Reached out to them and was ghosted. The reason i bought the EFR from them is because of the tariff war going on right now made it very cost prohibitive to order from Badger or Sol.

I mean, it isn't like you displayed the kind of behavior that brings attention...

A dude could have three testicles, and one of them randomly lights up and plays music... and he'd still be less conspicuous in public than a lot of your posts man.

Well, a month after paying $80 to send in my Meostar 15x56's for a collimation issue, I finally get a $516 quote for repair and return shipping, bank transfer only. This makes the total repair $600! I have no idea how the binos failed, as I have not dropped them and they had no sign of damage except double vision. I would highly suggest using another optic brand.

I just looked at the 911 wiki page -- it was either 997 or 991 model, from the looks of things.

Targas from my youth driving (1970s/80s) had that wide Targa roof bar, which my brother's car did not have. But still could be a Targa I guess, I'm not up on 21st Century or even late 20th C cars, to my great shame!

Not a Targa, but this was my 991 C2S. Among other things, the headlights were different on the 997.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE CHEAP SCOPES!!!!
This is why drunks who run their mouths and pick fights with random people in bars aren't long for the world. At some point they're going to call out the wrong person. In this case you're telling the reigning MMA champ what a badass you are, and what a pussy he is. The guy could make you cry and choke you out without spilling his beer. Fortunately for you he is too mellow to engage the stupid drunk he can easily dispatch.

Mike,
does the 1.2 version of the firing pin/shroud off the adjustability of the later models, just without the easy takedown?

Yessir, the 1.2 adjusts the same way, however, the thread pitch on the firing pin and cocking piece in the original 1.2 was 48 tpi. The thread pitch after that is 64 tpi. So, anyone needing either a cocking piece or a firing pin for a 1.2 will need to get both to step up to the 64 tpi assembly.

The takedown is no different than the Remington 700, but the Remington 700 thread bolt shroud is 1/2-13 and I used 1/2-20 on the Gen 1 and Gen 1.2 to smooth out the bolt function.

Why not collect the rest of, and more relevant data? That's like punching your load into your powder thrower and not measuring the result.

I don't do it to "make comments", I do it so I know what I'm working with.

Or, just don't measure anything and keep on keeping on. You do you.

I could not care any less what the case weights are. I only care about group size and making good wind calls. If I get those right, with a 308 I can make cold bore 600 yard A-zone and 800 yard silhouettes every time. That is what I care about.

I have not run a lathe or worked with metal, so I'm starting from scratch. I have access to a lathe and mill in my uncle's shop, but his lathe wont hold the tolerances for barrel work. It will be a great place to practice general skills though.

Go take old barrel stubs and practice learning to thread a muzzle. It’ll teach you the general aspects of measuring, turning, threading, facing and how to hit the emergency off switch real quick lol
Then it’s just the reaming from there but you can learn 90% of it with uncle buck

Take the class at the college. There is ALOT more to machining than just turning the machine on. They will teach you about safety, material types, different type of cutting tools, How to make your own cutting tools, Feeds and speeds, ect. Plus when you fuck up, you are wrecking their machines and tooling....which can get real expensive real quick, so better to make those opsies on school equipment.

Start investing in quality measuring tools. Starret/Mityo Calipers, mics, gauges, indicators, ect. Good measuring tools will last generations. Pick up a Machinerieys Handbook (used is fine, up to 10 editions old). Its going to be your reference bible for alot of stuff.

It will be the CHEAPEST and fastest way to become competent with a lathe. Very few schools even have manual machining courses anymore so consider yourself very lucky you have access to it.

I used the last of my GI bill to take machining classes at a local CC, despite already having a masters. It was great experience and I learned more there then I would have in 20 years playing around teaching myself. They will teach you how to do things the right and safe way. Lathes will maim or kill you incredibly fast, so make sure you respect it.

This . . .

Learn metal lathe fundamentals. You'll save yourself a huge amount of time and mistakes. Chambering is the only machining operation that is unique to barrel turning. The rest; turning, facing, threading, boring, are basic machining operations.

I can build just about anything with wood and all of my power tools and machines are for wood working. Tablesaw, mitersaw, drill press, routers, etc.

I have not run a lathe or worked with metal, so I'm starting from scratch. I have access to a lathe and mill in my uncle's shop, but his lathe wont hold the tolerances for barrel work. It will be a great place to practice general skills though.

Ive reached out to the local schools for more information.

Not looking for short cuts, this is something I'm passionate about learning. Ideally, I can take the classes, then find someone who has the time and knowledge specific to chambering barrels to learn from as a mentor.

I have 2 of the Anzios, about 600rds of his “match” bullets. The rifles are very niche, good talking piece and fun to watch when people shoot them. Both of mine are suppressed. For anyone to actually be able to shoot under an 1” with those “match” grade bullets was probably only shoot 1 bullet. The bullets for the 20 don’t ride on the barrel lands & grooves, only the driving band does. And considering the driving band is only pressed on to touch the case mouth, I’d be hard pressed to see any accuracy there from them.
I’ve loaded my own, have a tad over 800 cases, about 400 of the blue practice rounds. My dies are C-H, they are well made, gigantic and the press is ungodly. The biggest caveat is going to be primers. Every now and then they pop up, not cheap, but I think they fall off a truck.
On the 14.9, the company I know that was wanting to build one was Cadex, and ultimate precision with Chase Stroud was gonna make the ammo. Lathe turned bullets, 50cal primers, surplus brass was available but primer was boxer(whichever had the 2 holes). But the issue was Cadex couldn’t import DD being a Canada company. But they talked about 12.7, and you just have a barrel spun for 14.9.

Overall Mike Remo is fun to hang out with, rifles are a huge talking piece on the range, ammo is kinda available in the amounts most people actually want to shoot this thing.

The old guy is Martin. He died back in October. He was a great dog. The little dachshund is Auggie. I didn't really want another dog, but the family did so we compromised and have another dog. He's alright, just not the goodest boy old Martin was.

Do I see a red, with pink nose and green eyes...? If so, very desirable!

this may turn out to be an ignorant question, but how can twist rate possibly impact time of flight for a given velocity?

Not at all ignorant, but instead, it’s THE question at the heart of why spinning the projectile faster is important.

The equation isn’t about velocity, but instead, it’s about ballistic coefficient (BC).

If one looks at the published BC from Lapua and compares it to the actuals noted in many Kestrel’s out there, that’s the clue that something is amiss.

Noting the difference in TOF between the slower twist and the faster, the BC from the faster twist is much closer to the published number, but velocity differs very little 10 feet in front of the muzzle. However, velocity from the faster twist is maintained over a longer distance.
