Of the three you listed, I've only used SLR. I think they're high quality and I like them for what they are but they definitely freeze up with carbon IME. And the only thing holding them on is two tiny little grub screws. So expect leaks.

As far as gassing the barrel "properly". It's only going to be gassed properly for one condition. Suppressed or unsuppressed. So, no fault to Ross but he can only do one or the other. If you do have a very low back pressure can I would definitely have it gassed for a brake and then just suck up the back pressure that a low back pressure suppressor will add. To me, the bigger evil is a poorly fitted adjustable gas block than a properly fitted non-adjustable gas block that doesn't choke down the extra gas. I think the standard two grub screw gas blocks are a liability and unnecessary weak point when you consider how much effort we're putting into other parts of the gun. If Ross could cut the journal to a slight thermal fit/ friction fit that would be ideal.

That's the rub. When setting up a rig for competition, you'll often setup the rifle to run as long as it needs to before cleaning, on as little reciprocating mass as possible so that you can run as little gas as possible and get less recoil. The downside to setting up a rifle like that is a sacrifice in flexibility.

The lighter the reciprocating mass, the more sensitive the system will be to changes in gas volume. The heavier the reciprocating mass, the less sensitive it will be to changes in gas volume. When tuning more for reliability and flexibility, tuning to run an H2 or H3 buffer to get you the right closed bolt lock time is the way to go, but you will get more of a recoil impulse.

It's ikely part of the nation wide organized protests. I don't think much of the mayor or what Spokane has turned into in the last 20 years, but hopefully this protest is squashed with prejudice.

Wondering thru the ID desert during the mid-80s, enjoying jackrabbit blasting in the time frame of what we called the Mud Lake Bunny Drives, had a couple days off during my USN training routine so I grabbed a Mini-14 and approx. 300 rounds for a walk with some fellow squids. Lots of targets was an understatement but one sticks out decades later.
The jack went running at fullspeed to avoid the folks chasing him and I pulled down him, fired, and watched him literally separate into 2 parts. The rear legs started tumbling almost immediately but the front legs made 3 more strides before it registered nothing was following! He looked at those who had scared him out of his sage brush hide and rolled to a stop. Seemed to be right out of the cartoons.

Saw that on the news. Apparently, they are slashing truck tires, spitting on cops and doing the usual. The mayor and city council are firmly communist. It looks like they are dreaming of spreading this crap over to CDA this weekend. Standing in the interstate up here will pretty much guarantee a quick and painful death unless the state patrol plans on helping the hate groups.

I don't think there is overt coordination between the Democrat and Republicans; both sides are quite happy to grow the power of the government so they can use it against their enemies. Both sides like to play because the only ones that lose are the common man.

The cop either intentionally shot her or was so bad of a shot that they were aiming for somebody else and hit her. Either way the cop needs to be fired so they can find another line of work where they are less of a threat to the rest of us. These kinds of round are "less lethal" and can still kill or maim so they need to be used carefully.

It sold last week

left yes but the message applies now far far more than then. back "in the day" the soft left saw themselves as pro liberty. now the hard right is more freedom + than any part of the left. actually left,right,liberal,conservative don't really have any consistency or any meaning. they have just become sort of understandable general labels.

Shouldn't they be cleaning hotel rooms, or at least making sammiches?

Yeah - I've been shooting Lapua since it came out for 300 PRC and ADG before that (which is just okay). Also, I was "manufacturing" RWS 300 PRC out of 8x68S when all we had available was Hornady. I still have a fair amount of Hornady brass, but only use it when doing things making dummy seating rounds, etc.

RWS is still the best I've ever used. If 8x68S didn't take a different shell holder I'd still be shooting RWS in my 300 PRC.

I'll use ADG when I can't get Lapua for a cartridge , specifically my 6.5saum.
The only time I've used/had RWS was factory ammo for 300wm ( can't remember how I got couple boxes of it) I found it to be heavier and slightly less case capacity and felt hard like it needed a lot of annealing . I get bad batch or was that normal?

Chernobyl is interesting. several species that were near extinction are coming back around there. great,means maybe after the coming wars with Iran,NK,China and Russia the earth might regrow in less than 1K years. well,a lot more nuc material so maybe < 10K years.

what about these guys? 30th year play. they go back way farther than that.

There has somebody the Lapua 155 gr Scenar and his 167 grain-sibling used: https://tirsportif.forumactif.com/t33759-parker-hale-t4
Local NRA shooters never went in for the very small groove diameter barrels e.g. .306: superb - that is exactly what I have been hoping for them

Hmm.. what about the exact level of this 7,62 mm Nato-proof ? From which years ? To compare with the No.4-Enfield-Conversions in England.. .

According to p. 526 (pertaining to the L42A1) of The Lee Enfield: A Century of Lee-Metford & Lee-Enfield Rifles & Carbines, by Ian Skennerton, pub. 2007;

‘the bolthead is marked ‘19 T’ which indicates a pressure of 19 tons per sq. in. for the 7.62mm re-proofing.’

N.B. Nineteen (19) Imperial tons per sq. in. equals 42,560 pounds per square inch. It is worth remembering that, according to Julian Hatcher, the short ton is never used in ballistics. The same is apparently true of aeronautics.

P.S. The reproving of British N.R.A. rifles to 20 tons was actually recommended in 1973 for the purpose of shooting ‘Heavy Raufoss ammunition (185 grain) …’ although it obviously came in handy later on, when some shooters started using deliberately undersized barrels with 144gr service ammunition. The reproving was done using the oiled case method, which … when you think about it, is an excellent method for proving a small arm. Oily chambers, oily fingers and cartridges with water on them are known causes of real world rifle problems. If you P.M. me your email address, I can scan the relevant page of Guns Review, June 1973 and forward it to you. I also have a copy of the May 1990 edition of Guns Review which contains a four page article on the Parker Hale M85 Target Rifle.

P.P.S. When I previously said that the barrel proof for 7.62x51 barrels on No. 4 receivers had to be upgraded at least twice, I might have been recalling evening discussions at a local gun shop.

Have a good weekend. Cheers from NZ.

Ya and be careful of the red rope liquorish .

I’m looking forward to some more reused reviews now that these are shipping. I’m struggling to decide on the 2K or 15K. Never thought I’d consider a $5K LRF value but but it is when compared to a Raptor or MARS.

Click to expand...

Personally, the 15k is what I'll be going with. I see zero point in spending more than an Impact 4000 for a laser that does the same thing with the same down sides (905 laser that sucks in adverse conditions) vs the 15k and the ability to cut through rain/fog/humidity far better than the others. That and it's half the price of other's MARS/Raptar/anything else similar.
