Any reason you never see builds on Winchester Actions?

Montana Rifle Company, moved from MT to MI. New tooling and new people most the way around. Still crf, still M70 footprint, but integral lug/rail, and takes a prefit that doesn't have a claw cut. The cone/claw cut are now integral inside the action I believe. Takes a m5 dbm, which they source. Interesting design on the classic. I have not yet been able to fondle one.
That sounds pretty awesome, I'm gonna have to check it out.

Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

Flags at half mast for a dead pope? Thats dumb.

Not if the last administration did everything they could to fuck over the Catholic Church and you were trying to set up an environment where you can bring in more catholic votes.

It’s a huge voting block and one that consistently votes wrong. Though that is changing. And we are hopeful of bringing in a conservative pope. After the last two communists. .

"Over Gassed" AR's Fact or Fiction? Other Perspectives

I can make an AR FTF by both over and under gassing the system. I think the OP's next thread will be "The Sky Isn't Blue".
I keep an open mind to learning new things so I keep waiting for the OP to say something profound, but I'm pretty sure he should sum up this tread and just come out and say that he's a dusty old curmudgeon that doesn't like all these new fangled AGB's and extended gas system lengths because "back in my day we didn't have all that stuff and we got along just fine!".

Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

The advantage of 100fps in 10-12” barrels as I see it is mostly lethality. The 77’s normally just don’t have enough velocity in short barrels for the great stopping power they are known for from 16” and longer barrels

On video he is testing what appears to be Blackhills standard 77 load not the military version which is far faster

No doubt the video is slanted but shows promise.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Boeing has a 7 year production order backlog of those planes and has already had buyers come forward stating they would buy them instead of waiting years for their orders to be fulfilled. This hasn’t affected Boeing.

Accessories NEW: No Slip, Ultralight Suppressor Cover

I may have answered the question wrong about swapping the direct thread mounts.

If you are swapping it on different rifles, whether a direct thread or a QD of some type it will go on and there’s enough room to swap it.

If you have to change the amount on the back of the suppressor, you will have to pull the cover off. Same with any other type of hub mount.

Kahles vz ZCO

Kahles fucked a lot of customers over many years ago. Speaking for myself only (as one of the customers they fucked over), there was one and only one Kahles person that tried to make it right - and it was Jeff - who is now at ZCO.

I own a few ZCO's due to quality and reliability; they make great stuff and they stand behind it. I own one Kahles and that is out of pure stubbornness, their products do occasionally suck ass - and when they do, they don't stand behind them.

Mileage varies, choose wisely - a mistake at this level is an expensive mistake...

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.
