MicroBest Chrome BCG - Pictures and Comparison

If you simply found that by using the AI function I would not simply go off on that... Actually, during operation whatever it was called... The soldiers were told that they did not have to lube the Chrome BCG... It's caused problems.. AND, It was found that even the chrome had issues with jungle corrosion... So I think it was more than just a supply issue.

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

I'm not sure if you have any IMR 8208 on hand, but that powder with Berger 73's is the best shooting combo I've ever tried on both of my primary 5.56 AR's.
What are you running for that load? It's always printed well with 77 SMKs for me and been 50-75fps faster than Varget.

Advice Ideas on a guitar build

O okay, I assume you understand scale length and intonation when you mount the bridge?
This is an excellent point, since the OP is not a player and may not understand. If it’s a standard Strat scale-length, it should be 25.5”. Here’s a good reference:

The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

My friend Jack and I took his friend, who worked at Trader's in Okland, out to a ranch on the Altamont Pass ground squirrel hunting. It's the land south of I-580 where all of the windmills are. Jack and I brought Winchester 52C's with 20X Unertls and Jack's friend brought some kind of Weatherby semi auto .22lr with a 4X scope. We were shooting up a small ravine that was 400 yards or so to the top. Jack's friend got bored because he couldn't shoot that far with his gun so he went for a walk to try to get some closer shots. About 300 yards up the ravine was a squirrel mound and a squirrel kept popping up there. Jack was sitting down shooting at it and probably took 6 or 8 shots but hadn't hit it. About this time his friend comes back and asks what Jack is shooting at. He said the squirrel mound about 300 yards out right next to the big rock. He pulled up his binos and said he saw it and a squirrel just stood up. About this time Jack shoots and makes a perfect head shot. Jack's friend lost his shit. He said "Jesus Effing Cristo. That's 600 effing yards at least". Jack and I chuckled, he didn't see Jack take all of those other shots figuring out the elevation and windage. Every time we saw that guy after that the shot got better and farther. The last time we saw him at the Cow Palace gun show he was telling people he watched Jack shoot a ground squirrel in the eye at 1100 yards with a .22lr.

Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

That was pretty cool! What bullet? Hand loads?

And that’s pretty darn clear for 1030 yds. What sort of recording setup are you using? I use a Razor 27-60 spotter with a phone mount.

It would be interesting to hear why they switched to phosphate.
A rudimentary search found reference that the change was simply due to the fact that the parkerized finish was; sufficient to the task, cheaper than chrome, and could be applied by more than the sole source vendor used for chrome plating. That parkerizing isn’t shiny and “holds lube” are ancillary.

My most memorable was pure reaction and made for a great memory.

When Desert Storm was ramping up, a great friend of mine signed back up and got deployment orders. He had 2 weeks back home after train up before shipping out. I got both of his brothers, both sons and a couple nephews together and scheduled a Chukar and Pheasant hunt for all of us.

The hunt overall was a blast for everyone but the shot of the day was mine! My buddy and I had stopped on a side hill and were b.s.ing waiting on the drive line to pivot. I heard the flush above us maybe 15yds.

2 Chukar flushed off the hill right beside us! I swung my 687 straight up and doubled the two birds directly overhead! We both stood there laughing our asses off as it rained down feathers all around us!

There wasn't much left of the birds with I/M chokes in both barrels and they might have been 20' overhead. It sure did put a ton of feathers in the air though!
