Semper Fi from Alaska

Can’t believe that I never found this before. I’m a 21 yr retired Marine that fought for our country and now I’m in God’s army living and working for him in the most beautiful place in the world. I found this site in prepping for my first sheep hunt and prepping my new 6.5 creedmoor from Fierce that shoots .375@100yrds. Topped with a NF NX8 that my wife got me for our anniversary. God Bless

ZEV Wedge Lock Handguard

ZEV 14 5/8" Wedge Lock Handguard


zev_wedgelock_handguard_003-2349074.jpg



The US patent for the wedge lock mechanism employed in the ZEV Wedge Lock Handguard states that it was invented by Michael Miller and James Reid. The patent was originally granted to Mega Arms and has more recently been transferred to ZEV Technologies.


wedge_lock_patent_01-2445789.jpg



The wedge lock mechanism that secures the ZEV M-LOK handguard to the ZEV barrel nut is a simple, yet elegant approach to fastening a handguard to an upper receiver. Speaking of the barrel nut, the ZEV barrel nut is a hefty 3.6 ounces of finely machined stainless steel. The ZEV handguard comes with a custom barrel nut wrench.


zev_barrel_nut_001-2445805.jpg



The ZEV wedge lock assembly sits in a bottom lip of the ZEV handguard. The slim design of the wedge lock assembly allows for a sleek, streamlined handguard profile when compared to some of the more bulbous designs on the market.

wedge_lock_in_handguard_001-2445819.jpg



wedge_lock_in_handguard_front_01-2445825.jpg



The wedge lock assembly consists of a top wedge and a bottom wedge with a Torx bolt sandwiched in between them.

wedge_lock_patent_003-2445847.jpg



top_and_bottom_wedges_separated_01-2445852.jpg



The top of the top wedge has a concave shape that perfectly matches the curvature of the barrel nut. The top wedge and the bottom wedge are mated at an angle such that when the Torx bolt is tightened, the top wedge is pulled rearward and upward wedging itself between the barrel nut and the bottom wedge and handguard forming an extremely solid lock-up.

The ZEV Wedge Lock handguard used for this build is the 14 5/8” version and it’s manufactured from 6061 aluminum. The handguard, barrel nut and mounting hardware have a combined weight of 15.5 ounces.

The ZEV handguard has an indexing/anti-rotation pin at the 12 o’clock position. The hole in the ZEV handguard has an interference fit with the anti-rotation pin and mates precisely with the anti-rotation hole in an SOLGW upper receiver. The ZEV handguard also employs two anti-movement set screws at approximately the 04:00 and 07:00 positions.

wedge_lock_handguard_attached_01-2446112.jpg



The installed ZEV Wedge Lock handguard had zero degrees of rotation referenced to the picatinny rail of the upper receiver.

When selecting a gas-block to use with an M-LOK hand-guard, you’ll want to pay particular attention to the inside diameter of the hand-guard and the outside dimensions of the gas block. You don’t want to make the amateur mistake of installing a MK12 gas block under an M-LOK hand-guard that doesn’t have appropriate clearance for that gas-block. I used a V Seven Weapons Systems 17-4 PH stainless steel, set-screw, low-profile gas-block with an IonBond finish with the ZEV wedge lock handguard.

Secret Service agents fighting in Obamas front yard “IM about whooping this girls ass!” Over the radio no less - I’m sure they were top of their class and a point of pride for the nation .

Variation in seating depth

What could be the possible reasons for the variations in CBOL (ogive) length.
Considering that the total case length is the same, the projectile base to ogive length has been sorted to be the same, but yet after seating the bullet, there's variations in base to ogive length from cartridge to cartridge.

Using a Lee turrent press as single stage, but I do ensure that the cases are going as up in the die as possible, to remove any wiggle room there.

Thank you

An older video - 2017 , one of the first where citizen cell phone video prompted investigations and legal action against police . Not the first time cell video was used but it was at the beginning of the trend .

Listen to these pieces of shit tell their version of the story while the actual video plays in the background.

And without a third party filming the event these assholes would still be on the job.

The civil lawsuit exposed 21 years of brutality and lying on offices reports .

In 2022 the victim was awarded just over $400,000.

Accessories FREE stuff clean out!

Sorry it took a bit longer than anticipated but the free post is here. Just a couple of rules that I ask:

1) you cover shipping. Apple Pay is preferred but can take cashapp and a strong maybe on Venmo. Otherwise USPS MO or cash.
2) give me a little lenience on shipping time. I try to get it out quickly but sometimes work screws that up.
3) pass it on. Donate to a charity, give to church, or anything you give me over the shipping cost will go to a fellow soldiers kid who wants to go to a summer camp for disabled kids (lower leg prosthetic).
4) limit yourself to one or two items so others can get a chance as well.

1) (3) 15-round Glock 19 Glock mags - CLAIMED
2) unknown single point Multicam sling - CLAIMED
3) MTM and other ammo holders. 308 and up for calibers - CLAIMED
4) magpul mlok AFG black - CLAIMED
5) Caldwell brass catcher - CLAIMED
6) lungpunch 50 BMG ammo binder - CLAIMED
7) (4) gun locks with keys
8) Blackhawk OWB beretta 92/96 non-railed holster - CLAIMED
9) Sig p365 IWB holster. Open end so it should be able to take the longer slides. - CLAIMED
10) de santis IWB leather holster. I think I briefly had it for a shield or LC9
11) giraud triway trimmer. Too big for 223 but doesn’t seem to fit 308 or creed so not sure what it’s for. - CLAIMED
12) What I believe are PRVI 308 168gr HPBT pulls. Had them for years and years. Probably a couple hundred. - CLAIMED
13) vortex sunshade and defender caps. Pretty sure it came off a PST or a venom
14) Lee 260 rem dies. Two seaters. Also comes with a 308 sizing die and crimp die.

More will be uploaded later.

11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

I was testing a load in my vintage sniper M14 last week and managed to score a 100-6X at 600 yards for 1.2 MOA. If I included the sighter, it would be 110-7X. I scored 6 X's in a row until the wind blew me out of the X-ring. I fought to bring it back in and managed to finish with an X.

Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

We (SOK) have decided to get in some of the new Armsight units, particularly the 640 Jockey and 640 Sidekicks.


The Jockey is a thermal clipon, 640x480, 12 um, 60hz.

3__25568.1678135447.png


As far as thermal clipons go, its pretty short ...

OASYS/BAE/Trijicon UTC-x 6.8"
Armasight Apollo42 8.5"
EOTech ClipIR 6.8"

Jockey 640 6.8"

==
Weight Jockey 640 0.85 LBs

Here are the specs:


52775671205_43fa89f74c_c.jpg


We hope to get hands on them, late April/Early May.

This is a SR clipon, recommended for LPVO up to around 6x on the day scope.

MSRP on the Jockey 640 is $4,100.
==

The sidekick seems to be sort of the 3rd generation Q-14 (for those Armasight historian among you :D ) ... with the Breach being the gen 2.

2__29696.1678392951.png


At 8.5oz the sidekick 640s are pretty light. They are helmet mountable and we'll be bundling them up with a bridge as well.

MSRP on the Sidekick 640 is $3,300.

... more to come !!

Winchester 52C Bullgun

After decades of active and passive searching I located a Winchester Mod. 52 C bullgun. I have seen dozens if not hundreds of ads and auctions where a heavy target was listed as a bullgun. The true bullgun has a 1.125 x 7/8” x 28” barrel and weighs 12#.

This is the only one I have seen that is a true bullgun. Fortunately it is in new condition and appears unfired. The scope block screws had not been removed. Zero finish wear on bolt or high edges.

I stripped it down and removed the grease and crud. Cleaned the bore of dust and grease and bore scoped it. Adjusted trigger, added scope blocks and mounted a 20x Unertl.

Will sight and test when conditions permit.
