Need UPS for FX120i

LED

Never shut it off.

Unless I pound the table, it doesn't react. I may go to a counter top place see what they can do for me. Have a couple places around me.

I have tried a bounce drier sheet again just now wiping everything down, then draped it off the back stuck between the lid and the shield. Still no luck. Only thing I have done is made everything smell and feel like a drier sheet. Starting to wonder if I just have a bad scale. But I want to try a sinewave UPS first.
And I assume you have no heating or air-conditioning going on and moving air around while doing this.

I've left my scale on for weeks, using it intermittently and had no drifting problems. The outlet my scale is plugged into also has a few other electronics plugged in (e.g. computer, monitors and printer and there's no apparent interference. However, if the outlet happens to also be on the same circuit as things like kitchen appliances. . . that can be an issue. As mentioned above, isolating the circuit can really help (assuming of course, there's really nothing wrong with your particular scale).

It'd be nice if you had a buddy that also had the same scale where you could run a test to see you have the same issue???

And yeah, It's just possible you have a unit that has something not working right. :rolleyes:

BTW: I charge my cases the same way you do. . . a quick throw, with my Lee Powder Measure, and then trickle up on the scale with a Frankford Arsenal.

Which rifle for DMR class

I wouldn’t want to shake out a new build at a class I’d just paid for. None of the other students want to be held up while you unfuck your gun. Take something you know is gonna run. There should be a minimum round count listed in the course description. It needs to run trouble free for at least that many rounds. Lessons learned will apply to any other rifle you could use in that role.

Just my opinion.

THIS.

Had a dude at an offsite Ridgeline SPR class with his 6.5Grendel in pieces on the line trying to get it back up and running.

Though I've never needed it; minimum I will attend with is a full secondary upper w/optic and spare parts like BCG, FCG.
Fuck it, bring 'em ALL as long as you're not holding up the show or otherwise being a nuisance to the others, rock on!

.223 Rifle Build

My 223 is an Impact/CRB/ Foundation Centurian. What is the plans for this rifle. Hunting, that would work for a Carbon barrel. Match use probably go with a conventional barrel. With a carbon barrel this will be a tail heavy rifle. Go for a .080 - .100 if you plan to spot anything longer than a 77smk. If

Balancing MPA Matrix rig w/ 18-20" barrel?

updated original post to reflect chassis is original Matrix, not Pro.

Much thanks for everyone's input, it confirms my suspicions. I knew it was a$$ heavy before I started but I focused on solving problems and forgot about the bigger picture. Beginning to think Jack Daniels as a study buddy may not have optimized this equation. I'll give @Rob01s suggestions a try and think about what my next build should look like.

MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

I ran the RECCE and the mod0 in a few stages at a 2 gun yesterday. RECCE ran fine, though I had an issue getting a round to strip from a mag post movement. Odd thing was, I used that mag in the first shooting box. Was low in ammo and instead of dropping it post HVT shot (which I fucking missed being over confident) I stuffed it in my dump bag. Same mag went right back in and locked. I worked the CH and click. Slapped, charged it again. Click. I locked the bolt back, rotated and watched the bolt strip it the 3rd time but damage was done. 10 seconds for a HVT and another 4-5 with a dead gun and it was game over…. It was light and easy to maneuver. On par with my heavy 14.5” with 7.62 RC2.

Behold my shame….

The Mod0. Well, let’s say I’d need to get some reps in. The extra weight made all of the basic manipulations harder. Had a couple fucked up mag changed and it’s hard to not overdrive it moving from target to target. Doable for sure, but it would take some practice to get me to the point I can use it like my 14.5s.

New Manners TCS-MAX

Manners TCS Max. Mine has finally showed up. This stock is 100% designed for Rimfire with all the forward weight. It has an internal Brass Bar in the forearm with a different shell fill around it. Then the Micro chassis. Then a lite fill in the back of the stock. As pictured it is 20.6 LB and balanced. Remove the Super Cal and it is 19.4 and almost balanced. This is the MAX Steel rail on it and 2 small steel internal weights. The M-Lok Sykes rail is only available from a Rimfire Team Member.

I like the sikes rail they did with the m-lok, wish they offered it as an option on the normal TCS

.223 Rifle Build

Hello,
Need some ideas and input on .223 rifle build. As far as the action I'm pretty open, but would like a recommendation on something with short throw like 70 degree or so so don't have to worry about scope clearance. Barrels are a plethora and would like to possibly try a CF wrapped, but planning to run a can on it and not sure about the whole chunk of weight on the end and effect on accuracy. So input on that from ppl with experience would be great. As far as stocks.... i have a few rifle with KRG chassis of different flavors and i really like them, but wanted to try something different. Is it worth exploring Manners with DBM or just stick with what I already know. Also, I know mags are also a concern, want to not have to fiddle with mags and mag catches and such to run reliably. planning to shoot mostly 77 grain OTMS, but would probably try 80s, and 90s at some point so that leaves me to twist rate to cover those bullet weights 1/7, 1/8 and such, info for that would be nice.
And yes, i did my research on the subject before someone tells me to use search function. I just want opinions on what ppl built or use and what i might have missed from my research to compare notes or update my findings.
Thank you guys in advance.

Then someone is under the Lord's protection and was spared being led astray by wolves in sheep's clothing.
I succeeded in getting myself banned from a church by asking to many questions. I would ask why do we follow A but not B, the answer would always be we can not because times have changed. I would then say we need to follow all or none. I got called in to the pastors office and was told You can not worship here any longer..........
Thats happened to me in every denomination I ever tried, even got kicked out of the Quakers. They dont tolerate questions or dissent.

One day while sitting in prayer and meditation I heard the Holy Spirit speak very clearly:

"Come out of her, you listen to me."

(Her meaning the Babylonian template of the church, on which the whole western church is built, and has hijacked the way Christ intended his church to operate )

Hit like a hammer and except for funerals I haven set foot inside one since. Religion is poison, all of them. Listen to the Holy Spirit and leave all the lies behind.
