I've always been mesmerized by metal being worked, whether as "simple" as cutting with Oxy/Fuel, all the way to TIG welding or being precision machined. Welding and blacksmithing have long been up there on shit I wanted to better understand, so I'm currently a little past halfway through a Maritime Welding course.

I know a bunch of y'all are talented manipulators of metals across a variety of trades and figured a place to post up projects, Q&A, etc may be cool. Hell, it may even serve as a heads-up for hiring opportunities around the country,

The thread in the Pit from Strykervet needing some welding brought this to light again recently, and I know that I'm learning more after class drinking with old welders and diagnosing my problems than I'm getting in the actual class.

I'll happily throw some "failure" pics up from class projects as a counterpoint for folks who look at beautiful welds and have no blessed idea how much skill is required to produce them.

Very impressed with this new innovative Arca rail from Seekins. Available in MLok and a screw in design for their hunting stocks.
As you can see the rail is turned 90*. It does not stick out past the side of the rail. Very comfortable in the hand. Locks up solid in the Anvil.

Looking to save some time finding a good load for the 90 gr berger .224 using varget powder.

Im shooting out of a 26" 1/7.7 Krieger on an AR. single loading.

I made up 5 rounds with 25 grains varget, virgin Lapua Match brass and 3.4 gr cci primers, COAL 2.550 and shot them off just to see what would happen, and they were all over the place. any tips on this bullet would be great. thanks.

Well it looks like winner winner chicken dinner.

I’m going to pick up a new dishwasher before tariffs hit.

Also got a lot of emails about cheap ammo. I’m gonna blow my load with @RavenRocksPrecision I have no doubt this is the time to stack deep while cheap


Oh Sage of the bear pit, what moves are you making. Stonks are up!

So far only minor skirmishes IVO Kashmir in response to the previous terrorist attack.

I have a love of funny memes, videos and photos. Let’s let this thread focus on the funny without the nudity if that’s OK.

Ok, no more drip feeding, it's time for full fire hose.

The VGW V-22 is a true-to-scale mid-lock rimfire bolt action with integral recoil lug. One of the many unique features of this design is, for a mid-lock, there are no lug ways forward of the lug abutment in the receiver. The rail is MilStd 1913, available in 0, 25 and 30 MOA. The action is currently in full production and available from Vudoo Gun Works in St. George, UT.

















This rifle has no finish on it yet and of course, it uses my AICS patterned magazine that is currently fielded in many 40X Repeater Conversions. The action is a direct drop in to any Rem700 Short Action Stock or Chassis, with the only accommodation being the ejection port is shorter than the standard Rem700/40X length port. Unlike the 40X Rimfire, the lugs in the VGW V-22 are concealed.

I'll be spending more time on the range tomorrow and will post video of it cycling, but it runs like a Swiss watch.

Thanks, Guys....

Josh @bohem from Patriot Valley Arms posted up on Facebook that he is now offering Osprey match grade AR15 .223 Wylde barrels in 16", 18" and 20" length. Anyone who has used the other Osprey barrels knows that they shoot so I don't expect anything less from these barrels. Worth a look if you are looking to get the best accuracy out of your AR platform.

****UPDATE***

****I have been working on a printed bushing to replace the aluminum one for a few reasons. Main one being availability, I can print these like any of my other items so sourcing is not an issue. I can also pass the cost savings on to you guys and a little more weight reduction. I will be working on a printed adapter plate in the future also. I wanted to make sure the integrity and strength were both still very sound so I adjusted materials and design until I got it right. ***** There will be nothing new to installation, a dab of Loctite is still highly recommended on the ball head bolt. Just snug it up good, no need to over tighten. There are some variances in the BOG castings so you may hear a slight pop as the lip in the bushing pops over the casting but its fine and expected on some as I keep the fit fairly snug on the bushing.

I have also added an eyebolt addition you can use to hang equipment from. When you purchase it just let me know if you want the eye bolt or regular bolt.

For installation of the eyebolt you will install the bushing then slide the eye bolt up through and tighten fully into the ball head until it bottoms out. Then loosen the eye bolt 1 full turn and lock the nut down while holding the eye bolt from turning if necessary.



I have made up a few ball head conversion kits for the Bog Deathgrip Tripod. I tried to keep the price down as low as possible while maintaining good quality equivalent to the Bog Tripod.

- Prices shipped TYD.
- *** Continually making them as requested. I will inform you of any excessive backlog.
- There are 5 options.

The ball head is rated at 33 lbs and has 360 degree rotation (lockable) base in addition to the ball head and the ball head is lockable and adjustable for tension. This will accept arca-swiss style devices including the numerous picatinny to arca and such items on the market.

To install you would have to remove the one bolt holding the deathgrip to the tripod. Once you do this the bearings and bushings (you will not need these any longer) will come out. You will end up with a hollow casting as seen in the images. Once you have this you can insert the bushing from the bottom, then insert the new bolt through the bushing and install the ball head onto it. I recommend a dab of Loctite on the bolt before installation.

If you want to use the deathgrip that you just removed you need the kit with the adapter plate. This plate with the 4 supplied screws will attach to the deathgrip head and can then be locked into the arca-swiss ball head.

This entire assembly weighs ~15oz, you will be removing ~8oz to install. So in total you will add about 8 oz to your setup, plus any additional items you decide to add.

Bog Deathgrip Tripod Ball head kit and adapter plate (full kit) $110: This will come with the ball head, bushing and 3/8-16 bolt to attach the ball head. In addition this will come with the adapter plate to attach to the deathgrip that can then be placed into the arca-swiss ball head.
Bog Deathgrip Tripod Ball head kit only $95: This will come with the ball head, bushing and 3/8-16 bolt to attach the ball head.
Bog Deathgrip Bushing, Bolt and Adapter Plate Only $55: This will come with the bushing for the tripod, The 3/8-16 bolt for most ballheads and the adapter plate to attach the deathgrip to Arca-Swiss. This is for if you have your own ballhead but want to be able to attach the deathgrip to it if desired.
Bog Deathgrip Adapter Plate and Screws Only $45: This will come with the adapter plate and 4 screws only.
Bog Deathgrip Bushing and Bolt Only $40: This will com with the bushing and bolt only. This option would be great for someone with their own ballhead and no desire to be able to reattach the deathgrip.


I also have small plates with the standard 1/4-20 screw. If you have any accessories that would benefit from a custom printed fixture that would allow you to attach it to an Arca-Swiss plate, which could then be put on a tripod or something else please send me a PM and we can figure something out.

Summary = This thing is freaking rocks

I had the privilege of testing the new March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS edition over the weekend, and I wanted to share my experience with you. Upon arrival at TX Precision for a train-up day, I was immediately handed the March PRS Gen II for evaluation. My initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive.

I decided I would mount this scope in a spare mount I had with me. After ensuring my zero with my existing optic was accurate, I encountered significant mirage issues due to the conditions of the day. This is where the March PRS Gen 2 truly stood out. Upon comparing it side by side with my current setup, the difference was night and day. The March scope cut through the mirage effortlessly, even at full power, which was a game-changer for me. In a move I would normally consider too risky, especially before a match, I decided to switch my perfectly zeroed optic for the March.

Remarkably, it only took two shots to re-zero. The real test came when I aimed at a target approximately 775 yards away. Despite the challenging conditions and my initial apprehension, the clarity and performance of the March PRS Gen 2 were undeniable. NO WAY would I have been able to see exactly where I was hitting with my previous optic in that mirage without freshly painted targets. The March made this as if you were shooting in perfect conditions on a partially cloudy day. To say I am impressed is an understatement.

In summary, the March PRS Gen 2 exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Its ability to perform under challenging conditions has made a significant impression on me. The field of view and real usable magnification range is second to none. It's everything you want in a scope and nothing you don't need. From the reticle (FML-WBR) to the markable turrets (no more stickers that dont line up), this thing is a home run! I watched more bullets hit targets than ever before, especially given the conditions we were faced with over the weekend.

If you don't know who March is... You will! I expect this scope will take over a huge portion of the PRS market. You don't have to take my word for it. Next stop is the OKIE SHOWDOWN. Find me and get behind it... Seeing is believing!!!

This is going to be a game changer for you rimfire guys too… The clarity of this scope is unmatched!

I have an MPA PMR rifle in 6BR that is almost ready. At the last minute, I asked if it is possible to change to 6GT. Lisa at MPA says most likely. I plan on using the rifle to shoot some PRS, a bit of ELR, and to apply general principles of firearm fun-time to the human/gun partnership. I do reload. Should I stick with 6BR? Or should I explore my more flamboyant side by experimenting with this new-fangled 6GT hotness?

And/or are these Gay Tiger jokes getting old and everyone should go back to picking on the 6.5CM?

Anyway, my primary reason for the last minute reconsideration of cartridge orientation is that the 6GT may offer better reliability in terms of feeding. On top of that, it may offer a bit more versatility in that I can load it mildly to perform similar to 6BR but light it up hotter for extended distance.

However my reconsideration of the reconsideration is based on some reports that the reliability claims of 6GT are not what they were originally cracked up to be while the 6BR is enjoying newfound reliability with the latest magazine developments, to the extent that reliability is no longer a relevant issue.

In addition, as a relatively inexperienced reloader, am I giving up some magical ease of reloading the 6BR versus what may turn out to be a relatively finicky 6GT.

And as a member of the poors, am I going to miss out on the efficiency of the 6BR, foregoing meals in order to feed a more powder-hungry 6GT.

Or am I just overthinking all this, being better off flipping a coin or just going with my original work order so as not to inconvenience Lisa, Woody, and the rest of the good folks at MPA with last minute hems and haws.

Would appreciate any and all advice from those who have more experience, knowledge, and wisdom than I.

Now don't hit me ...but I was also thinking of changing my order from the Matrix Pro II chassis to the Vanquish. Advice? Reprimands?

Hello Guys, I have a LBNIB Never Used Leupold MK5 3.6x18x44 with PR1 Mil Reticle. I also have it in a nice griffin 1 piece mount. The scope was only mounted, but has never been used. I’m asking $1900 with Griffin 1 piece mount included. The scope is and will be in original box with all items, sunshade, paperwork and scope covers are included. The mount is brand new too. Once again, this scope has never been used and only mounted. I’m going a different route. Also please check my feed back states if you have any concerns. I will also do phone calls, FaceTime, google meets, etc if you need verification. I will post more pics as soon as I can. Like I said it’s brands new, never used, glass is perfect. I’m asking $1900, and that will include the griffin mount, with ceramic bubble level, shipped to your door.

That's WILD as hell... they became completely distracted from their jobs because they thought they could collect a Sport Kill off a mom defending her home from... the actual Criminals they were pursuing!

Ma'am, PUT THE GUN DOWN... OK?

HEY! She just pointed it! Not at us, but she just LIFTED IT UP!!!

Click to expand...

These guys just wanted to kill an American for any possible reason, and were wracking their brains harder than they ever thought about anything in their lives to get to the top of the escalation ladder and use lethal force.

They wanted to KILL- and any target they came across was A-OK, and any outcome.... including allowing the Criminals they were pursuing to escape... was just fine with them.

They claim she shot at them, but why were they pointing their weapons at her, and who shot first?

I know we're heading in the opposite direction, but an example needs to be made... and we should start NOW with these dirtbags.

And also- on the efficacy of pistols in gunfighting, she got shot in the shoulder and walked off, only to be apprehended much later. A 51 year old woman...

Looking for any info that anybody has on using the 120g Nosler E-tips and Hornady 120g CX bullets in a 26 Nosler for long range, 1000y plus.
Coal's, accuracy, ED, ES, powder types and MV's. Also curious to know how well the tips hold up at long ranges.
