First post here, but I've been lurking for a bit. I'm a rifle enthusiast, especially single shots and bolt guns, which I use for hunting. I reload and enjoy helping friends optimize their hunting rifles. I'm more low-key about other guns, but my 870 works great for birds, my AR is practical, and my Glocks serve their purposes – one for carry and one for home defense. My 1911 is more of a novelty.

Built an extremely light weight upper (3.85 lbs to be specific ) Wanted to see how light I could get a RECCE type upper. I’m PCSing and it will just sit in storage. Its new I never had the chance to fire it.

Parts:
Barrel: Midway 16” mid-length 1/8 twist light weight barrel.
Rail: Odin Works 15.5” Ragna handguard
MilSpec upper
ToolCraft Nitride full auto BCG & Strike Inds Extended Charging handle.

With BCG/CH it still weighs under 4 pounds!

Asking $180 shipped obo Zelle please and thanks!

Hey Everyone,

We'd like to formally announce a new offering from Abel Co to the members of SnipersHide! The Biscuit and Biscuit-S suppressors - our first 2 models (with plenty more to come down the line). For those that don’t know us, we designed and manufacture the Abel Table, a modular tac table that can be used for a multitude of different tasks.


Abel Company was created to provide quality products and resources that support American citizens, our military and our law enforcement. The owners of Abel Co. come from a long background of Aerospace & Defense manufacturing and fabrication - experience and knowledge that we take into Abel Company. Our goal is to grow Abel into a defense solutions company that provides goods and knowledge to our customers.


Our Suppressor - The Biscuit/Biscuit-S

Our concept, that we took to development, is to make a suppressor that functions well on every platform and mostly caters to individuals who want one suppressor for ALL of their firearms We have done extensive testing on our end to hit several key criteria prior to approving release to market.


The key criteria we achieved is as follows:
1. Suppress sound (obviously) to levels under/near 140 Db at the shooter's ear per MIL-STD-1474. This criteria was achieved; different platforms yield different results, but overall this was achieved. We use the B&K Impulse Noise Evaluation System (PULSE) for all in-house testing and we partnered with PewScience to provide 3rd party testing.
2. Create a suppressor that does not add significant length or weight to the firearm. This was a mandatory design characteristic for us as a result of meeting with active LE/MIL personnel that made their concerns known. This suppressor must be at home on a precision bolt gun and in a CQC environment.
3. Minimize the back pressure felt/experienced by the shooter and the host weapon system. This is especially important as we are marketing this suppressor as a do-all suppressor and it musty perform reliably on gas-sensitive systems.
4. Minimal to non-existent POI shift and predictable repeatability.
5. Affordability. It is important to us that we manufacture and sell suppressors that are affordable to the consumer.

The Biscuit was designed as a "Jack of all trades” suppressor. It is 1.80”-1.85” in diameter, fully-welded 17-4 stainless (heat-treated to the H900 condition) and features an industry standard 1.375x24 threaded mounting end. The Biscuit weighs in at 15.9 ozs, is 5.5” long and is rated as a hard use suppressor. The end cap is welded but can be ordered in .223 or .30 exit diameters. It can be used on anything from SBRs to magnum bolt guns. We have tested and rated it up to 300PRC.

While this was not designed to be a specific bolt gun only can, it has proven to be excel when testing POA/POI shifts (I personally shot a 10 shot group where every other round was attached vs off and it was under 1 inch).

The MSRP for the biscuit is $790 and the S is $700. We will be offering an introductory discount for Hide members so please PM me for the code. Please ask us any questions you have in this thread and we will be happy to answer them.

I bought a big lot of Redfield bases and rings looking for M40 clone parts. This stood out. Is it WW2 or some later off brand repro? I found a reference page that suggests it could be a Type 1, unmarked Redfield. The staking of the screws doesn't look right, but I haven’t found much info online.





I appreciate any help.

No it's not factory second.

So I wanted to see if anybody has dealt with Sgt Of Arms since the start of 2024. I have had a barrel on order from them since January 31 of 2024 and was given a 12-20 week lead time. Which I was fine with. Obviously we are over double that and then some. I checked on it a few times once it got over the estimate and got told about them moving barrel work in house and that setting them back a few weeks and I understood. So I’d call 1 time a month ish to see what the status was and got a new excuse every call. Now as of the last 3 months it has become nearly impossible to get them to answer the phone, they will not return voicemails either. Their website is automated and they don’t respond there too. I was finally able to get somebody to answer Monday and voiced my concerns. I was assured I’d get an answer on my order and the status by end of day. I have still not heard back and tried calling again yesterday and left yet another voicemail. I have tried calling quite a few times today and different times and still can get anyone to answer. Has this been the experience with anyone else lately? I know Eric is supposed to be a great guy and all and the company has a great quality track record, but this customer service is inexcusable and was curious if other people have the same issue.

TLDR:
Sgt of arms customer service is nonexistent and it makes me question doing business with them especially considering the fact that I wasted an entire year waiting on a product I still have yet to receive.

Well, gentlemen, it's that time of the year again! We're about a month out from drawing the winner for an epic M40A5 clone build, the rifle raffle ends on May 5th.

I donated this rifle to the Scout Sniper Association (SSA) in order to help raise money for the Marine Scout Sniper community through the SSA. The SSA is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization and 100% of the funds raised from this rifle raffle will be used to fulfill the SSA's mission. This includes supporting active duty and reserve Scout Sniper units, as well as helping out gold star families who have tragically lost their Scout Sniper family member. The SSA is a phenomenal organization and they do incredible things for the Scout Sniper community, and any support for the SSA is greatly appreciated.

This year's raffle rifle is an M40A5 clone build, and it was assembled by 2 amazing Marine 2112 armors - Jake Meyers and Deven Huffman. Both of these Marines donated their time and efforts to build this M40A5 sniper rifle. These 2112 armorers have personally built dozens of sniper rifles for Marine Scout Snipers to use in combat. This first-hand experience ensures that this M40A5 was meticulously built to the original USMC M40A5 specifications, with no detail being overlooked.

This is truly an extraordinary clone rifle, and since it's not a vintage gun, its modern features make it a very versatile rifle. You can take it to the shooting range, take it into the field hunting, shoot competition matches with it, etc. Whomever wins this rifle is getting an amazing gun that isn't just historical, it's also very usable! This isn't a wall hanger, it's a rifle that's built to take on many years of hard use. The M40A5 kit also includes many of the SL3 accessories, so it's a complete package.

You can purchase raffle tickets for this epic M40A5 sniper rifle at this link:

Please let me know if anyone has any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you very much for your support and I wish everyone luck with their raffle tickets!

Here is the actual prize M40A5 sniper rifle:




Here is the actual prize M40A5 sniper rifle being test fired by members of the USMC shooting team. They easily achieved sub-MOA performance with standard M118LR ammunition, and they really enjoyed shooting this rifle. It's high praise all-round for this M40A5:

There are threads with folks asking, "What optic for 300 yards?" or "what optic do you recommend for under $X?"

I am asking something different.

What optic are you running on your rimfire, and, more importantly, why?

I am hoping for a lot of responses giving a wide variation of scopes for rimfire use and their various features that you find useful. Hopefully, you can add one or two things you do not like about the optic, too.

This can be a good reference for others in the future trying to decide on a rimfire optic.

So, I've been happily shooting my "old-school" 6.5 Creedmoor PRS style rifle but I'm starting to think about jumping on the lower-recoiling 6mm bandwagon. The question is, which one?

My usual crowd-sourcing method for making these decisions is to look at what other people are using for the same task. According to the latest "What the Pro's Use", the 6mm Dasher makes up 41% of the top shooters in PRS.

What confuses me though is the average velocity numbers:

• 105 gr. = 2,847 fps (based on 21 shooters)
• 109-110 gr. = 2,825 fps (based on 18 shooters)

Just looking at the velocities, it appears that a straight 6mm BR (the smallest case capacity of the common 6mm cartridges) with a modest charge of Varget would accomplish the same speeds.

Is there something I'm missing as to why so many are running the Dasher if its case capacity isn't really needed?

Bought these from a user about 2 months ago and they work great. Time for me to go back overseas. $2150 net to me and they’ll be insured. Can also meet up, just pm for details.

Trans inmate who killed baby blames Trump admin for alleged assaults in prison: Lawsuit
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tr...s-trump-admin-alleged-assaults-prison-lawsuit


Use this thread for all the outrageous Tranny stories out there. This particular story has to be the funniest I’ve read yet.

The tranny is in prison for killing a baby and the prisoners heard about it so they roughed up and beat up the tranny.

The tranny is now suing Trump and prison officials claiming that Trumps rhetoric against the trans community led to him getting attached in prison by multiply prisoners.

In the legal filing, the Tranny stated: “Jonathan C. Richardson, who goes by Autumn Cordellioné, claims in the handwritten complaint that, due to Trump's "extremist rhetoric and transphobic hate speech," he has "emboldened the Defendants and the assailants that brutally assaulted and raped plaintiff, not once, but multiple times, to act on their hate and prejudices, constituting the cause in action and his liability in this case. Therefore, President Trump was negligent due to his alleged knowledge that others may act on his words."

“The inmate is seeking $3.5 million in compensatory damages from Trump, alongside the other defendants, including prison employees and 12 other "gang affiliated inmates," who allegedly "stabbed" and sexually assaulted the inmate over a four-day period in January.”

The funniest part of the story…the comments below are what the prisoners told the tranny in prison.

"Trump's president now, and we won’t even get in trouble for f-----g you trannies up, we’re patriots and even if you tell on us, Trump will pardon us and probably give us a medal," Cordellioné claimed one of the offenders said, according to the complaint.

That’s classic…hey tranny don’t worry Trump is president now and he will pardon us and give us a medal for kicking your ass!

Pistol build ive been working on for a little while is finally finished up and im just in the throws of debating red dot (well green is preferable) over an lvpo

Looked at mro and aems

But I currently run a psa special price strike eagle 1-8 on my rifle and just having a hard time not just going that route again on the Pistol other than weight

Now not like its a work rifle or anything other than range and shtf stuff but hard time making the choice

So let's hear some thoughts
