Accuracy International AT-X

Nonsense. There is an explicit set of standards for MLOK. The wiki page has a pretty good overview but you can get the entire standard from Magpul. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-LOK

Whether certain manufacturers adhere to those standards is a different story. Ironically, to my knowledge, AI has never published the standard for Keyslot. But MLOK absolutely has a standard for dimensions, fasteners, torque, etc. It has a full TDP.
I think you have shown a spotlight in your post on whats wrong with it.....magpul.

Vudoo - upside down assist button?

I couldn’t find anything on this, so please forgive me if this is common knowledge. I know there have been lots of ways to adjust Vudoo mags…

I recently purchased some Vudoo mags, and a couple of them have the assist button flipped upside down which makes the follower a little lower than normal. The user said that he shot CenterX out of those mags. Has anyone heard of this? Any idea why?

I have never had any issues out of any other Vudoo mags I’ve ever used with SK and CX, so I never would have guessed I would need this. I haven’t tried them out yet, but just wanted to see if anyone had heard of this and knows what it might “fix”.

Thanks!

Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

Some of you guys need to come check out Bville sometime. I’ll give you the tour.

They are also building a downhill park here, complete with a lift to the top. Supposed to be open next year.
I ride there time to time with my wife. The stuff in Bella Vista is pretty good, the last time we were there we did the Tunnel Vision & Back 40 loop. It's pretty sweet to have a 50 ish mile single track loop with minimal repeat. There are some fun trails out there. I like Hobbs as well but damn I'm destroying tires every trip. I am a weight weenie and cringe at tires that are over 700g. What tires are you having good luck with out there?

I am currently on a pair of Continental Dubnatols but I haven't been out there with them yet.

Have you ridden out in Jasper? I enjoy the Upper Buffalo Headwaters trail system and Rope Swing has put a lot of money into the trails at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. They are pretty good.

Long range build advice

When I'm shooting through virgin brass for my 375, I tend to ask friends to come to the range and run through a number of rounds.

One trip I was going up to a private range and a friend was coming along. So, I ended up loading 30 rounds for the 375 for load dev, and 30 virgin, thinking that my friend would go through the 30 virgin rounds. The night before, he texts me and says he has Covid. Well... shit...

- I go by myself.
- I run the 30 for load dev
- My shoulder is going
- My cheek is feeling it
- I run the first 10 virgin rounds
- My shoulder hurts
- My cheek hurts
- By the last 10, I'm aiming at the target, pulling my head away from the cheek riser and scope, and wincing as my shoulder takes the hit

EDIT: As an aside, I can shoot my 300 PRC all day, and while my shoulder may feel it afterward, it never "hurts"
Damn man you need a better brake! lol

Griffin mk2 9mm

Just to be pedantic, I'll mention that the JP5 operating system is basically lifted right out of the MP5, which is definitely a tried and true gun.
Oh, geez. Another one I've gotta check out. Man, for me an AR9 was just something to play with, UNTIL I got a 9mm suppressor. Now I'm seeing an answer to the question of why? Its been a long time since I bought a complete firearm that wasn't a hamdgun, but I've recently found myself researching alternatives to what I have. I love the way the MP5 shoots, but everything else about it sucks.

Oh, geez. I just went and checked them out. That 6" is calling my name.

Regardless, I'd definitely be looking into some sort of delayed action system. Just beware that I don't think that any one system, other than CMMG's has been out long enough to be fully tried and true.
