REEEE!!! Imminent


Hegseth is having Harvey Milk’s name removed from the ship. Timing couldn’t be better.

Does anyone know of a aftermarket barrel for the Springfield 2020 rimfire? I have looked around but haven’t really found anything.

Up for sell is a used MPA chassis in OD Green, SA (700 clone), RH. Asking $OLD shipped. PLEASE NO TRADE

​

As the headline states, I am a new member to this website and a very infrequent reader of blogs, posts and the like. I am a retired Navy MMC/ss and am very enthusiastic about our rights and our sport. In 2012 I selected a brand new Barrett 98B in .338 Lapua with the fluted barrel. Due to life's wonderful turn of events I have not been able to get to the range. I recently went on to Barrett's web page and learned that they had a recall on the 98B for a certain serial number range, in which my rifle is not affected. I then read further that Barrett's site has little to no support for it but they do have recall info. Everything else is all about the MRAD. That is about it. I also went on to a popular website where you can list whatever firearms you like and did a search for 'Barrett 98B'. There was only one listing. One guy had his listed and had a bunch of different accessories that would come with it; bipod, scope, magazines, etc.

My question, on reflecting back to the recall and the simple lack of availability of the 98B, am I sitting on an excellent piece of machine work or am I sitting on a twelve-pound paper-weight?? This is NOT an offer for sale. This is just a question of do I hold on to it or should I just float test it? It is bone stock with the standard Barrett issue, case, magazines, etcetera. Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

I ordered a gap 10 in 6gt yesterday. This is my first large frame gasser and it will be for PRS stuff. I ordered the 20’ but thinking maybe I should go for the 22’ instead. It will be shot suppressed. Anyone else running a 6gt gasser? Opinions? Things to look out for? I may run factory hornady for break in but planning on 105 hybrids or even 109 handloads for the duration. I do hear that large frame ar’s can beat up brass, any way to avoid this? Thanks!!

Hey guys,

I've got a new, take off Mrad muzzle brake. I put about 20 rounds through this. It's 5/8X24 threading with a .30 cal bore. This is their combo muzzle brake and suppressor mount for the AM338 can. This is the larger of the two mounts.

I am asking 175.00 shipped. We can discuss preferred payment methods.

So I managed to pick up a T1x ACE, 22lr 20" barrel. A few arrived into New Zealand last week and managed to pick one up.
This was a rifle I was very interested in (along with many others) so thought I'd share my findings, there isn't any good reviews out there, just influencer BS and people reading off the spec sheet.

Barreled action:
It's the same as every other Tikka model; trigger, barrel, bolt, bolt handle (don't even get a free rubber ball!), it's basically just a T1x MTR in a chassis.
I have a much older T1x with the original spring ejector, I never had any issues with mine but I know others did, this rifle is the new version with the fixed ejector.
I don't like that the ejector is just plastic molded into the magwell, not sure if it'll ever wear out or break but seems pretty cheap. I put 150 rounds through it and it ejects and extracts with "authority" so I guess it's not a problem, for now atleast.

I haven't adjusted the trigger yet so it's a little heavy but it breaks just fine, no creep or grittyness, etc.

The action feels nice, not as smooth as my old rifle (to be expected) but it feels nice an snappy, same as all other T1x I guess.
Barrel is same as other T1x models, will see how it shoots in time.

Chassis General:
All screws in chassis are T25 Torx, they provided a T handle wrench which is nice (the only other thing provided in box was 2 QD swivels).

Unfortunately I'm not really a chassis guy so don't have any real chassis to compare it to.
However first impressions are that it's pretty well thought out, has all the features I'd want, including many that I've not seen mentioned anywhere before.

The over all weight of the chassis is 1.641kg (3.6lb) so about .207kg (.450lb) heavier than a KRG Bravo (1.434kg / 3.16lb by my scales).
Although it's a bit heavier than the Bravo it's actually better balanced, which was a nice surprise although it doesn't help balance this rifle out in the end.
The T1x Ace comes with the shorter Mlok forend (0.304kg / .67lb), the longer 7 slot forend will be a little heavier. I guess they didn't use the longer forend as it wouldn't work with 16" barrels, but this model really should've included the longer forend and not even offer a 16" barrel in my opinion.




Forend:
The Forend is very securely attached. It has 4 screws on the bottom and the two QD cups (not just the screws) go through the forend and give it almost no slop, even with the 4 screws removed. I know people were worried about this, time will tell if it's good or bad but initial thoughts are it's well thought out.

There is a lot of real estate on the inside of the forend for additional weight, Tikka say weights will be available that fit in the Mlok slots, they are 200g (about .4lb) each, so the 7 slot forend will be able to fit 1.4kg (3lb) of weight which is a lot. However they should just offer a steel forend (since they are swappable) could probably get it to weight around 2.5kg (5.5lb) and still keep the Mlok slots available for more weight.
I doubt this would ever be offered, but could be an aftermarket option.





Butt Stock:
The butt seems reasonably well thought out, cheek piece is only height adjsutable with no obvious way to modify it to have any other adjsutment.

The butt itself is fully adjustable; height, cant, and twist? (no idea why this is an option).
Initial reviews suggested there was no cant adjustment which is not true, there 100% is cant adjsutment.

The LOP is adjustable via spacers, not many are included which is odd, also no other length of screw is provided, so if you remove the two spacers the screws stick out and you loose the tilt adjustment (which I'm sure will no upset anyone). Removing the spacers was kind of annoying, was easiest done by removing the entire butt (which is loosened by a single screw in middle of butt pad).

The bag rider hook thingy is attached via Mlok, a proper bag rider accessory is meant to be available at some stage, but as standard it's fine to shoot with.

Chassis center section:
The pistol grip is plastic and feels kinda horrible, I decent grip would be a nice improvement.
It is adjustable forward and backward, doesn't really seem to have any cant available.

The thumb shelf is simple but seems to work ok.

The replaceable mag well is probably the most interesting thing about the entire rifle.
You need to remove the pistol grip and the action screws to get the mag well off, it's a little snug but pulls off easily.
The barricade stop is actually aluminum and separate to the magwell, it slots into the main aluminum "back bone" so isn't reliant on the plastic magwell for strength.

I do like the ability to change the magwell, for centrefire I much prefer CTR magazines over AICS but the ability to have both options (when/if AICS is an option) is nice.
If Tikka ends up offering a XM (medium 3.2" COAL) AICS option it could make this chassis a really sweet option for running short mag cartridges for comp use, for hunting you'll be able to use the normal Tikka mags obviously.





Overview:
When first released my initial thoughts about this rifle was that it was a bit of an afterthought, it's like they designed the chassis 80% for PRS in the T3x Ace Target, 20% for NRL Hunter with the T3x Ace Game, and then thought well just make a T1x mag well and chuck our standard barreled action in it and call it the T1x Ace Target, as opposed to T1x Ace Game which is really what it is.

I thought there is zero chance this thing will be close to a PRS/NRL balance with that pencil thin barrel.... and well, yeah, I was 100% right.
If you buy the longer forend and load it up with as many weights as possible, put on a light weight scope, bipod, tuner/suppressor it MIGHT balance ok, but this rifle needed a heavier weight barrel.

I put my other T1x barreled action into the chassis and it balances just (as in barely) in front of the barricade stop, that's with a 25.5" medium plama (ish) barrel which weighs almost 2x (1.030kg vs 1.980kg).
Unfortunately due to the way the T1x action made you are limited on how fat of a barrel can be installed. 23.5mm (.92") is the fattest straight taper you could go.

Messing around adding weight to balance to rifle, I concluded a .92" straight taper 24" barrel would be needed to get it balanced ok.
Companies don't seem keen to offer super long factory barrels but I think a 22" or 24" option would still appeal to the "uninformed" buyers out there. If they offered this rifle with the longer forend and a 22"+ straight taper barrel then I think it would actually be a sweet option.
As it stands it definitely leaves a lot on the table.

The balance point with no weights added....




Final rambling thoughts:
Should you buy this rifle? Maybe, if you have a bunch of T1x accessories already then it may make a good addition.
However for the cost you could buy a 20" MTR and and MDT ACC Premier, which I'm guessing is probably the better chassis.
For people in Europe this rifle might make a lot more sense, but even in NZ an MTR + ACC Premier would be similar price to this rilfe.
If the rifle came with a heavier profile barrel for the same price, I'd say it was worth it, but otherwise I'm not so sure.

The interchangeable magwell and forends do offer the potential for this chassis to give some real flexibility, more so in centrefire but even in the T1x a steel forend for PRS and a light weight one for hunting/4 position shooting is a nice option to have.

Although it's not at all balanced (for PRS/NRL) the rifle doesn't feel heavy to carry around, so I'll probably do some small game/varmint shooting with it too.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Subsequent reports have revealed the numerous avoidable failures by the Secret Service to protect Trump and take out the gunman. Humiliating footage of petite females struggling to cover the 45th president and escort him out of harm’s way has also emerged.
Blame for this horrifying moment in American history has rightfully focused on DEI-loving Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who has refused to resign. Reports have revealed that instead of hiring the best possible agents, Cheatle has focused on ensuring more non-white and female agents regardless of qualifications.
In fact, her agency has set a goal of ensuring the Secret Service is 30% female by 2030, despite the fact women biologically are generally smaller and weaker than males.
This begs the question of why such a politically correct person was heading the Secret Service. According to the New York Post, all fingers point to Joe Biden’s wife Jill. It turns out she had a close relationship with Cheatle, which helped her land the job.
The Post notes that Cheatle, who served on Jill’s security detail, was well-liked by the “First Lady” and her staff, including top advisor Anthony Bernal.
The outlet further reveals Berna lobbied extensively for Cheatle to become Secret Service Director presumably at his boss’s behest. More infuriatingly, Anthony had no experience in law enforcement or experience so he should have been ignored.
Yet he and Jill got their way to the detriment of Trump.
From the New York Post:

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with First Lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned.
Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well-liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.
Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her, a Democratic insider told The Post. Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.”
“I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option,” another well-placed source told The Post.

This report also provides a plausible explanation for why resources were reportedly diverted from Trump’s rally to Dr. Jill’s poorly attended campaign event in Pittsburgh. When someone owes their job to another, favors are sometimes sought in return.

Howdy Hide,

I'm fighting through a bit of 90's nostalgia this week but thought that perhaps one of the outlets I'd been using to 'scratch that itch" may be of interest here.

Long story short- in the late 90's there was a show called "Magic Secrets Revealed" which featured the "masked magician". Essentially the premise of the show (you have to remember that this predated "reality tv" programming) was the producers of the show convinced a magician to "reveal trade secrets" but ONLY under the guise of remaining anonymous due to "fear" of being blacklisted.

That said- it's just a show that has the potential of ruining your childlike wanderlust and love of magic by showing how the tricks/illusions are performed but I don't recall a show of similar content existing before or since then.

Do with the below link as you will- either you're interested in "cracking" the secrets or you'd rather remain in ignorant bliss (and no judgement from me either way) but figured I"d at least share the link in case anyone else had an interest in this topic.
