Shitty ammo + shitty guns + shitty shooters = shitty groups

It hammered at $8500, I was surprised it didn't go higher.

Just gotta say after picking up my own TBAC 338 suppressor and using it on my 6.5CM today... such a pleasant thing to shoot. Sure you can go lighter and shorter with similar performance, but I like the extra volume personally.

I would go with dedicated cans long term, but nothing wrong with starting big.

Price drop

So spent the last couple of weekend trying to boost my "Concrete Work" Cred here on SH. You know, to show that I own that sniper rep. Though my tab says Marksman/Observer. But it's sniper-adjacent.

Putting in a gate here at Schloss Nitrocellulose after having to deal one too many times with moonbats who have fuckiing dog psychics. This will make the East German Stasi c. 1982 go all "Schitzengigglin" and will include video cameras and at least a couple of mock Claymores.

Regardless... Granite posts. 6" thick footer with rebar going 36 inches down. 18" tall 16x16" base with a welded-up rebar cage to contain the granite post. 15 x 15" x 13" final sheathing with the granite posts caged in the rebar.

Will include two bars, each 12 feet long. And a sign that makes it clear that if you go past this gate and are unauthorized, you will regret it.

Fucking morons.... Tired of them driving (or riding their faggot bicycles) up my driveway despite a very clear sign at the lower entrance. After they get past this, it will be game on!








More pictures to follow. Mainly just posting to ensure that, despite my total lack of bow kills, I do have polished sneakers, lots of concrete work and am worthy of SH.

I picked up CATs 6arc can to dedicate to mine and love it. Shot at a local indoor range yesterday with it and had zero gas to the face, and sounded great when Ive shot it outdoors as well. 18” rlgs with a5h2 and springo green spring it shoots very smooth

I have a few Carbon barrel rifles that were...(custom threaded) for the Thunderbeast Brakes for the thread over brake style TBAC suppressors. By this I mean the threads were "timed" so to speak so when I threaded the brake on they were perfectly timed without the use of the crush washers to align the brake. Interestingly, by doing this for whatever reason it has made other 5/8-24 adapters useless. They will thread on about 3 turns and then a hard stop.

So, can you "erase" the current threads on the barrel and rethread to a "standard" 5/8-24? Obviously, can't cut the carbon barrel down.

Sounds like whoever threaded your barrels was doing a “thread to fit” pitch dimension. It’s not hard for a competent gunsmith to put the barrel back in the lathe and pick up the current thread. He simply shrinks the pitch diameter until the thread is in proper specification.

Well, you could be in luck either way; I’m doing at least one of each.

I just sold my Rim-X in anticipation of a new Mike Bush no-compromise creation which takes correct advantage of a fast-twist barrel.

It will need to go some to keep up with my 1st-gen V22 with 22" MTU / 1:16 Bartlein machined and installed at Old Vudoo (replaced original 20" Ace kukri)! Here are consecutive 102-yard groups (4, 6, 10 rounds respectively) with Lapua Long Range. Wind puffed a little on last one and I didn't try to adjust for it.

Also worth noting that these are 3 of 15 groups fired while "tuning the EC tuner" with this lot of LLR. I ended up moving it three "notches." Interestingly, the 3-notch move had definitive negative impact on grouping of previous-tuned Center-X (opened about .1 mils). So I moved back to the C-X setting; groups tightened right back up. The LLR adjustment made almost a tenth mil difference across six groups.

And no, I absolutely will not say I get this kind of accuracy AllTheTime, but it's not that unusual. That middle one... never done it before, but I bet Milke's new creation will do it again. And again.

(Grid is .36" (.1 mil @100))

I wonder if it was thread for a different pitch. Timing a muzzle brake does not normally change a 5/8x 24 thread.
