Idea for presentos on a limited budget

Once you've shot out a barrel there really isn't much use for it.

Here's an idea from the USAMU Custom Firearms Shop. These make nice handouts - gifts - keepsakes for the cost of your gunsmith - machinists' time.

The machinist cuts the barrel into coin-thick pieces, polishes them, then laser engraves front and back. Somebody does you a favor? Does a great job? Has a nice achievement worthy of on-the-spot recognition? Hand him one of these tokens as an "Attaboy" or "Thank you."

Full details and available for purchase at
mcleodprecision.com

Kestrel Mount -
  • Designed to work with the Optics Bridge or any other universal mounting need for your Kestrel.

  • Includes a 4 sided ARCA on the bottom so it can be rotated 90 degrees if needed for your clamp orientation. Can also be hard mounted via a standard 1/4-20 camera style screw in the center or via 10-32 tapped holes in a standard ARMS17 pattern.

  • The grip fingers are designed to slide directly into the slots cut in the sides of your Kestrel with the perfect amount of tension. The rear of the Kestrel does not contact the back of the mount, preventing chafing.

  • Made from 6061-T6 aluminum in the USA. Carbon Grey Cerakote applied.

  • Includes the Kestrel Mount, (2) 10-32 screws and (1) 1/4-20 camera style screw.
Optics Bridge -
  • Clamp the Optics Bridge into your ball head and attach your optics, kestrel, range finder and wind flag.

  • Provides countersunk holes for common 1/4"-20 camera style screws to attach directly to those type of mounts on your devices.

  • 10-32 tapped holes set on a 1.1" ARMS17 standard pattern throughout, allowing attachments of clamps anywhere, top or bottom.

  • Full length, double sided ARCA rail. "Rotator" ARCA block included that allows a 90 degree presentation to your ball head. Very important for ball heads like the anvil-30 so the operating handle stays in the proper orientation.

  • The "Rotator" can be moved anywhere on the bottom of the rail for offset if you prefer all of your accessories on one side of your optics.
  • Made from 6061-T6 aluminum in the USA.

  • 11.9" Long X .4" Thick X 1.5" wide at 8.8 oz weight. Extremely rigid.
Xero Sled V2 -

  • V2 update - added in 3 center holes tapped 1/4"-20 so you can thread in your mini Xero Tripod or anything else interesting. Also check out the Kestrel Mount which clamps into the existing clamp on the Xero Sled and now you have a great benchrest setup or for your other non ARCA setup rifles.
Thanks for looking at the new stuff. Everything is in stock. Let me know if you have questions. (Fully Loaded version seen below)

Accessories Rifle Mount your Garmin Xero - McLeod Precision

https://mcleodprecision.com/products/xero-sled-v1

$89 shipped complete ready to use.

Machined from 6061-T6 completely in my shop here in Northern Arizona. Comes complete ready to use including the ARCA clamp. Graphite Black Cerakote applied for finish. 8oz weight without the Xero installed. .350" thick and very stout. The ARCA clamp is inset to prevent shifting. The Xero can be rotated slightly on the mount if needed.

Mounting holes are provided if you decide to remove my clamp and install your own. Maybe you have a dual PIC/ARCA clamp like the RRS BTC PRO. You can verify your clamps fits by measuring the center to center hole spacing is 1.1" (ARMS-17 pattern) and the width of the clamp (center line of holes to edge opposite the lever or knob is no more than 1.280" which is an exact measurement no fudge factor). This fits a pretty large clamp. The holes are tapped 10-32. Please reach out with any questions.

V2 update - added in 3 center holes tapped 1/4"-20 so you can thread in your mini Xero Tripod or anything else interesting. Also check out the Kestrel Mount which clamps into the existing clamp on the Xero Sled and now you have a great benchrest setup or for your other non ARCA setup rifles.

Accessories McLeod Precision - MPA BA Comp Bag Rider

I made this bag rider for my rifle. I wanted something that was smooth and rounded all the way around the sides (full radius cut edges) to better fit against my tripod for rear support. Of course, still be good for rear bag use. Worked out well. I used to run the plastic dog leg looking bag rider from MPA (forget the name) and it sucked for rear tripod.

It is 4.9" long X 1.4" wide X 0.4" thick. 6061 Aluminum machined.

I have no idea if anyone is interested in these, I did not plan to make a run of them. MPA has a nice mostly flat one too for $50 bucks, I just saw no reason to buy one when I can make one on my machines.

Figured I would post it here and see if anyone is interested. Probably $40 shipped with Carbon Grey or Black Cerakote is what I would do. The one I cut for my rifle in the pic is Carbon Grey.

This fits my BA Comp using the 3 hole pattern on the bottom of the butt stock with 8-32 screws countersunk (see pic). May fit other MPA rifles, check for the hole pattern.

If I get say 6 folks interested, I will cut a run of them. Reply on this thread or PM me if interested.

Thanks,
Kevin

Bear Creek Arsenal rangefinders and spotting scopes

I recently discovered that Bear Creak Arsenal makes laser rangefinders and spotting scopes, while their reputation for QC isn’t exactly great for their rifles, the feature set they advertise for the range finder is intriguing at the price point and likewise the price on the spotting scope is attractive, but does any of it actually work? Is it a viable entry level option?

They advertise the range finder as being good to 1500 yards (which I read as 750) and having an integrated ballistics calculator that runs off a smart phone (I.E. it gets the range via bluetooth than spits out a solution) and some kind of a weather input too. I don’t know what kind of calculator it uses but I know the name of the app starts with AB, is it using Applied Ballistics? I also don’t know how the weather function works, I assume that it just imports data from the nearest weather station, but can it be linked to your own weather meters like a Kestrel or Weather Flow? Will it link to other ballistic apps too like Geoballistics?

Obviously working off of a phone makes the ballistic computer function less convenient, but it also keeps the cost down, I don’t personally mind, I’m already using a weatherflow vs a Kestrel because I couldn’t justify an extra $700 for convenience, so I already run off the phone.

As for the spotting scope, I have no illusions that the glass is great, but how bad is it? Is it usable to 1000 yards at least?

Something kicking off in Israel

It looks this is an unprecedented event , as besides the previously seen rocket barrages this time it seems Hamas soldiers actually on the ground in Israel taking over multiple towns and at least one military base. Israeli military and intelligence services were seemingly caught with their pants down.

But i imagine the Israeli response will be equally unprecedented.


''While the IDF is trying to deploy its forces, mobile units of Arabs have already (according to local residents) taken full control of the large city of Sderot (almost 30,000 population) and entered the southern outskirts of Ashkelon (approximately 150,000 population).

The territories that were quickly occupied are patrolled by Hamas patrols, which clear them of representatives of the Israeli security forces and military.

The population, for the most part, hides in fear at home.

The line of control on the map is not the front line. The Arabs do not have complete control in this territory.''

Making 30-BR from Sig 277 brass

@45-90
Hope you don't mind me tagging you into this thread since I read where you made Dasher brass from the parent 277 Hybrid brass.

I ordered just 100 to play around with to see if I can reasonably make brass for supersonic use only.

I've done case forming before with 17 Ackley Hornet, 17 Mach IV, 22 BR, 30 Herrett, 309 JDJ and a few others.

With the exception of the 30 Herrett, the other brass was realistically a simple neck, fire-form and go.

What I'd like to figure out is the dies and steps necessary to get the Fury case shortened and formed to the 30-BR.



Is there an easy way to just roll the shoulder down and cut the brass to the proper length?

Is it more like using the old multi- step forming die?

I noticed you have removable shoulder/neck buttons for some of your forming dies.

Is that the direction I need to go?


I'm on a retiree budget, so expensive forming dies are out of the question.

The only lathe I have access to is the little 7x13 Grizzly in my garage. Not really the right tool for creating dies and whatnot.


My purpose for even thinking about this is to see if I can get close to 110 and 125gr 308 performance in the little 1.5" case.
I believe i can get close, but only experimentation will get the answer to me.

The other use for the rifle will be standard Lapua brass and a 240-250gr bullet for subsonic use.
I'd be shooting it to 500 yds to replicate practice to a mile+.

I know, I'd be duplicating the subsonic 300 BO with a larger case capacity and might run into issues with it.

What are your thoughts?

Are the cases fairly easy to form without spending a ton on dies?
