Buffer trouble.

Hmm that might be a smidge small. I think recommended gas port size for 18” rifle gas is 0.0995 but some others may chime in.

The published specs from SOLGW are a good guide and I give them kudos for having the nuts to do so. Still, keep in mind that they drill their holes with a certain philosophy in mind with certain ammunition. The philosophy, as near as I can tell, is to have a combat reliable weapon with true milspec ammo.

What this means is that their stuff will run full power ammo with either an A5H2 buffer and rifle spring or an H2 or H3 buffer with a springco blue or red spring. I find this to be a bit of overkill.

Still, my point is that a .093 port on an 18" barrel with rifle gas should be fine. Just don't go too heavy on the spring ir buffer. If it is short stroking, it's something else.

Was the 18" running fine at some point and then started having trouble or has it always had this problem? If the former, check the gas key and rings. If the latter, you have a gas leak or stoppage some place other than in the BCG.

But without the protections of a patents, investments are risks of exactly this happening. Innovators invest capital to develop a new innovation, then after you spend all you have and finally go to market A slime ball like Preece steels the IP and makes a copy and undercuts your market and you are done financially. Sure the markets rule but without the patent protections why invest in anything new.

I'm picking up a 15 model PB AT this weekend and I'm wanting to add the NV bridge, but I'm wanting to make sure I can run the bridge with a 16.5" barrel and suppressor. Also, from my reading I'm seeing I need the high rail in order to line up with the nv rail, is that correct? The one I'm buying has the low rail installed. Obligatory pic of my hopefully new to me AT.

Yes you will need the high rail. I don't have a bridge but here is a 16.5 with suppressor. I believe it should be fine.

Zeiss SFL 12x50 BInoculars

I have an SF 8x42 and a Swarovski EL 8.5x42, but I always bring the 10x50 with me when I go birdwatching. It has the advantages of both the 42 mm and 50 mm formats. Although it doesn't have as good of optics as the SF, it's really near, in my opinion. Next week, I'll work with a couple of birdwatchers I asked for a reportage. In the field, we'll see what people think.

My go to general purpose binocular for a couple of years now has been the 10x50 Razor UHD. This new 12x50 SFL has almost as wide of FOV. It is harder to handhold steadily, but given how much I glass off of the tripod, it might be worth giving it a shot, especially when out looking for pronghorn.

This year, my go to has been the 10x42 Geovid. Since I will be hunting with other people this year, I might bring both. We'll have enough people.

What is it Worth? Older Leupold Mark 4 10x

diggler1833
NOT SELLING, JUST CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THEY RUN THESE DAYS.

I have a ca. 2000 Leupold Mark 4, 10x with M3 dial (168gr only), that came with an old first gen FN SPR that I bought about a decade ago. The glass is as good as Leupold made back then, no scratches or issues. Honestly, the scope is in 95%+ condition. The only real drawback is that the elevation dial is mushy AF...but it is repeatable...I've killed 9 deer through this scope and each time the dial matched a dead animal.

I know that these have become a tad more desirable to collectors. I have a better one on my M24 (and maybe I should have posted this in the "vintage" sub-forum). I'm at a personal crossroads of either using this on an M14 build several years down the road, or moving it. The biggest downside is that if I decide that I need one again I don't want to be out $$$.

I can't find squat on the internet right now - other than a single Gunjoker listing for $2,100 (and I'm thinking that guy is smoking something).

Anybody have a clue on what the going rate is for these now?

some people with kids, make it a point, NOT to have the whole family together when traveling to mitigate the risks.
Others, rather have the whole family together when traveling, because only god knows.
Rather strange to have the rotor AND tail section come off.

"Agustín Escobar and Mercè Camprubí Montal died on Thursday in the accident off New York City along with their three children and the pilot."
“They are a well-known family,” Salvador Illa, the governor of Barcelona, said in a telephone interview. “He was an executive at a large international company, and also she belonged to a well-known family. Two members of her family were presidents of the Barcelona Football Club.

The helicopter was touring New York City when it tumbled out of the sky and crashed into the Hudson River.

Two of the passengers were alive when divers pulled them from the frigid water, but they later died, New York City’s police commissioner, Jessica S. Tisch, said at a news conference.

"Mr. Escobar led Siemens’ rail infrastructure division from the company’s Berlin office, the company said. Before assuming his current role in October, Mr. Escobar was the chief executive of Siemens Spain. "

Ms. Camprubí was an executive with Siemens Energy, a separate company, according to her LinkedIn profile. Siemens Energy has not commented publicly on her death.

Rotor probably took out the tail when it came off.
This guy probably is guilty of disagreeing with the whole globalist/satanic agenda of the evil cabal

I got everything synced but when I turn off aerodynamic jump on the app the Fire 4000 still gives a solution with it.

How do I sync the aerodynamic jump settings? I'm getting a different solution on the app versus the Fire 4000.

Settings for the App do not translate into settings for the Devices. You would have to turn that off on the device.

A calypso-like us wind sensor glued upon a 5700 will do the trick. Upgrading from the impeller without changing the MMI ( it's not the best in the world, but as @_Windrider_ and @6.5SH said is durable and dependable, is what I would like to see.

You can just pair a Calypso to a Kestrel now if that is what you want, but the Kestrel cannot pair to a device and a phone you have to put it in one mode or the other.

Ah...good catch!
A little embarrassing 😎.....but glad it got caught by you in advance. 😊 I told you I was a little out of shape for this.
I never thought twice about it as its not a high rise. I'll do some quick measuring before wee load it today, and check the options on their website.
Thanx DY, that could have ended badly.
Click to expand...
Measuring probably won't work. You won't really know until it's in the car and the hood is on. I usually put the air cleaner on and make a tube out of aluminum foil and place it on the top of the air cleaner. Close the hood really slow and you can hear the foil crinkle. Open to see how much more you can close and compare to what you need to finish closing.
My Monte and my Olds have about a quarter inch with the hood closed using the dropped air cleaner base. Both motors have the air gap intake.
