Does it steal?

It's a pretty short story. Not a "bad" basis for a movie, but the story seems to intentionally leave everything out about how this dystopian, alternate-universe America came about. I'm having a hard time imagining how you fill up a full length movie just watching kids walk till they can't and get shot for 90 minutes... Man vs Man story about human nature, but all of the unwritten background and mystery on how they came to this Long Walk is also kind of the point, and fleshing that out in a movie would change the whole meaning unless done very artfully...

The short story The Long Walk most certainly influenced it's full-novel, big brother, The Running Man.

I have a died in the wool single friend who has a funny personality. He's mid 70's and has had one serious relationship his whole life but he never married her. She did him wrong........

I get a kick being at his place because his whole everything is manland! Who else has expensive vintage motorcycles, RC stuff, guns of all types, and a knife collection not a few yards from his kitchen and living area.
That doesn't include his bar area, 20'x60' shop, and the 40 acres he lives on which is a shooting range. 1143Y out his front door into the FS and almost 500Y out back - steel everywhere!

He's a riot!

@XP1K

I’m guessing either chemical plant or food plant?

316L for corrosion resistance?

TIG freehand with purge?

Nice job!

If I remember correctly Enfield made the hammer forged barrels for 39/42 7.62 conversions. Excellent shooters. Parker Hale barrels are also fabulous. I have used dozens either on actual PH rifles 81/82/84/85/87 or used to build Mauser based rifles. It's sort of an Red Delicious apple to Cosmic Crisp apple comparison, personal preference and availability. Really finding any factory heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62 in the US is a happy day and an enjoyable rifle. Most of the target versions are reasonably affordable, while the L39/42 rifles have gotten stupid. Example, I once bought an L42A1 in its transit chest with matching optics and all accessories for $1500. I think there is one on GB now for $15000 or more.

Dude I(well…my pap) has a 2500 acre pine & tobacco plantation that we just clear cut pretty much all of it so the land is now wide open, 400-500 yard sight lines depending where on the property you’re at..With hogs galore!
Bring that mfckr down to Soperton GA when ya get a chance let’s go have fun & genocide some piggies!

SLR has fed pretty reliably in mine. I have an order in for a full case, down to 7 bricks on last purchase.

I've been using Wolf MT and it feeds okay just not as smooth as the PB does. It must have to do with the bullet shape and which I assume is the reason the BC is higher in the PB. Also the PB was going 1107 fps/summer in my gun.

Humor us... when you reference Pershing's tactics... do you know what they were?

I just happened to be on the site and seen it. I bought one 8#er. The other didn't last long. That was all the powder listed though. Just two jugs of MP587. Nothing else was added that I can tell.

They also listed a few bullets too. I "think" .270 Swift Sorrico's in 130 and 150.

Damn, I wanted some lol...

I think either was accurate enough for the iron sights. The P17 stock was not conducive to good accuracy.
Springfield trigger was better in the examples I shot.

Kind of an aside, as well as expensive, but I found that Lapua Polar Biathlon fed way better than anything else I've tried in my Fortner.

If my XRP crypto takes off like I hope it does I'm going to get me a couple cases of it.

The case I had before was awesome stuff, was tested in my gun at the Lapua facility in Mesa AZ, and shot as well as the best Midas they had. Plus the G1 BC was IIRC .172.

Metaphorically. Hence the quotations. But I should have worded that more clearly. Apologies.

Yes, I tried two .750 gas blocks that did not have enough clearance to not impact the inside of the handguard when shooting.

You talked about using 875 and 936 gas blocks a couple pages back and I've mentioned a couple times in this thread that the inner diameter of the handguard is pretty tight and you probably won't be able to use those. I'm happy to let others talk about what gas blocks they've used but until people start building on those kits, I'm probably the only person who swapped a barrel out so far.

Click to expand...

The think mine is coming in on the 13th, I'll go more into depth on the gas block requirements for others as well.

Just to clarify you're talking about .750 "Adjustable" gas blocks, Or did you step down to a .625?

And what .750 gas blocks did you try out?
Asking so if I have them on hand I can cross them off my list.

Any issues with feeding from stock mags? I read A lot of complaints

The only mag I had feeding issues with was the MKM extension. Everything else is flawless.

Really your typical heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62. Generally similar to the Enforcers. Better stocks etc than the L42A1 rifles. Pretty good shooters when set up well.

Click to expand...

So you’d say they shoot as well as the L39/L42’s?
Would the Parker Hale barrels be considered better, worse, or basically same-same quality wise/accuracy potential as the L39/L42 barrels ??

ANA has done mine, Austin does great work

A5 wouldn’t work with my lower

Click to expand...

Why's that?

Did it fail to cycle properly?

I've had issues with A5 Systems before but it was because I was running too heavy on the buffer. A5 System shouldn't be any different than standard Carbine Systems, you just need to do your due diligence.

Over the years I have amassed a plethora of buffers so when building a custom rifle I generally build my own rifle specific buffer to put it in the proper operation window, some a with JP SCS with the tuning springs and weights.

That’s my only issue with the baby mk5 i have no illum but awesome. Gonna snag a hydra i think, pick up a psa mk12 and yank the barrel and bolt

I'm not running illuminated reticles with any of my clip ons. Usually most shots are between 4-10x with the thermal or pvs27.

Good, something else that pigeons can shit on.
