Accessories NEW: No Slip, Ultralight Suppressor Cover

It’s a hunting cover, so not meant to burn it down, lol. It will serve your uses for slow fire. The interior is the typical carbon felt that can take a direct flame.

I have run quick fire strings up to 20-.223, 15-6 creed, 10-7 SS to check mirage and it’s no problem for a “hot” suppressor. Others have run strings longer and it hasn’t been a problem.
Excellent. That's more than sufficient. Thanks for the info!

AR suppressor problem

Just to be clear, the bottomline is that the closed bolt lock time needs to be increased. You can do this by either turning down the gas with an adjustable gas block or a heavier buffer. In some situations, an adjustable gas block is necessary.

A heavier spring can help with bolt velocity, but has very little effect on closed bolt lock time.

X39 setups are a finicky PITA.

An Interesting read… I remember hearing about the Boom… not the aftermath!

I remember the bombing well. When the bombing happened I was building an aircraft hangar for a client. The client wanted the hangar door to be remote controlled, which was not available at the time. One of the company pilots that was good with electronics went to Radio Shack and bought some parts and built one.
Now as an even stranger coincidence he was on a layover in Georgia when he did this. It wound up he bought some of the same parts as were used to build the bomb controller. We received several visits from the ATF, they traced him from the credit card.
I remember looking out and black SUV's pulling into the job site and men in suits getting out.

Credit where credit is due: that is impressive investigation work. Especially tracing parts back in the 90s when nowhere near as much stuff was computerized.

That said, why not just send one guy to the facility to conduct an investigation and ask some questions? Why flood in a whole bunch of black SUVs and swarm a place unless you’re trying to Act like it’s some kind of giant red that is not necessary.

This is what keeps getting them in trouble. Publicity stunts. These upper management types that want to be Delta force and think everything should be a high profile raid need to be expunged.

I get it that the Olympic Park bombing was a big deal. But lives were ruined through utterly incompetent investigative response. Not incompetent investigating: incompetent response to half-baked facts.

There should be no excuse for that ever.

Night Vision Drones: Changing of the Guard

We use for yotin' and pasture checks. General rule with EVO2s is 30min cycle time. I.E. roughly 20 mins over "target area" with 4 mins travel out and 4 mins travel back and 2 mins for battery change on the ground. So consumption is 2 batts per hour. 8 batts required for 4 hour sustained ops. Biggest variable is the wind.

Image of pasture check flight. The cylinder shaped object behind the screen on the tripod is a 9db gain 2.4-5.8 antenna. Having a higher gain antenna ensures the battery is the flight bottleneck, not the signal.
I was testing those "landing pads" to see if that would help the auto-land be more precise. I saw no evidence that it did. But the landing is really precise 99% of the time within 2 foot.


I am always watching the landings and ready to intervene if required and it is required sometimes in tight spaces. And around where I am, I'm usually in tight spaces. In swamps or other drone-bad terrain, we run the TOC out of the truck bed and land/take off from the cab roof.

Tac Ops Rifles

Were you fresh out of kidneys, blood plasma, your off side aiming eye?
lol
I was paying off debts in preparation for buying a house. Sold a ZCO too. 🫣
I’d love to replace them, but sheds, fences, and tools for the property aren’t cheap either.
I sure do miss it all though.

Mike I want to take you up on that, but the organ market isn’t what it used to be.
🤣
Idk, maybe I’ll reach out and see if you can do something with my current “last” 308 precision Rem.

BEWARE GOOGLE DNS!

It's a little early so I may be missing something, but from a tracking perspective, there's nothing Google doesn't gain any more information on you using a Google DNS to hit a Google site. Google DNS to anywhere else? Absolutely, and it's the reason I don't recommend anyone use it. If their DNS is handing out addresses to special YouTube servers on the backend, it's easy to verify.

CZ 457 Varmint Arca Rail?

If this helps, I put a 10” 419 rail on a manners eh1. Not flat or even remotely made for a full length arca. I drilled the holes where they needed to be and installed the T nuts from the inside all this like a typical installation. Then I taped off the stock and roughed up the stock surface under the rail. Waxed the bottom of the rail and put a skim coat of devcon under rail. Put rail on and installed screws without tightening beyond getting the rail in place so I didn’t bend the rail but let the devcon fill in the void. Basically no different then bedding a scope rail to action back in the day just with more devcon. Worked like a champ and ran two seasons of nrl hunter without anything loosening or problems. Hope this helps.

Bartlein Barrels Update

Thank you!

I have every piece my two M40A1 builds except for barrels and slings. I’m patiently looking forward to my two barrels from Frank. Quality, reputation and up front expectations are good enough for me.

As far as business, I have no idea. I get paid the 1st and 15th every month. Thanks for paying your taxes. 😂

Greg
Thanks Greg!

I've got a barrel in that run for the M40A1's as well again... it will have the rougher finish vs my GAP build (which I'm happy with) and I'll take the new/next barrel here and put it on that 40X I have and have GAP supply all the other parts again and put it together for me.

Kahles vz ZCO

I still want a hat. Maybe Richard or Nick will send me one ☝️ pm me for my address 😂 about to order a can chap for my new R30k from Nick so he can just throw one in the box wink wink .


When they get caught up on production, maybe they can start making merch. Typically ZCO hats are produced for Shot Show to give out.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Great nearly 5 hour discussion with you @Onebadstang16 Glad we got to clear the air while my wife looked at me before she went to bed like WTF? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Tons of great infomation exchanged, this is why in person or conversations over the phone are 100% better than exchanges on the forum.
