I have a gray ops Bag Stop - Arca Mount like new for sale. $65 shipped

Trying to determine which sizing die or neck bushing size to buy for my 25 cm.
Using alpha brass and a 21st century. 255 expander mandrel (actually its the black nitride turning arbor which is 2 thou under bullet diameter)
Right now with the Virgin alpha brass the mandrel just plops right into the case, while the .256 expander i also have will actually expand the neck but im not sure if I want to run 0.001 (or 0.0015 with spring back) yet. Maybe I will later once the rifle tells me what it likes.

But right now should I just go with the Virgin alpha brass neck tension the way it is? Seems like they are all pretty uniform but I don't have pin gauges and can't really trust my mitotoyo to that degree.

Also looking at the f class products 25 creedmoor sizing die in the 282 neck od for my sizer...is that going to be sufficient in giving me enough initial neck tension so I can then expand using the 2 thou mandrel? Or do I need to look at the SAC bushing die

I have never been especially good at sharpening knives. The only sharpeners I ever use are the pull through ceramic type but I don't think they put the best edge on pocket knives.

What's a simple system that will get your knife 8/10 sharp with minimal skill? I am considering just collecting all my pocket knifes and taking them to a local guy that charges $5 but that's kind of a headache.

For sale manners stainless steel front weight.

Brand new in the box, includes all the stuff that comes in there, plus the Arken throw lever I added. Scope, sunshade, bikini covers, stickers, cleaning cloth, battery, Arken throw lever. Sorry the sunshade's not in the pics but it IS included, and brand new, just like everything else. Reticle is the VPR (Christmas tree/precision one, not the hunter style), in MILs.

Second gen with the Japanese glass. I still have one of these on a gun but I'm spring cleaning over here. This is a great scope for the dough.

The first housing on the market with every feature customers want - Nocturn Industries Manticore-R

The Manticore-R from Nocturn Industries is a rugged, articulating binocular housing made of high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum with a on-board digital controls that control power, gain, and an on-board IR illuminator. This binocular device features individual pod shutoff when each pod is rolled up, IPD stops, user-adjustable pod tension, IR-illuminator & indicator, and low battery indicator.

The device is powered on-board by a single CR123A for a continuous runtime of ~25 hours and does not require offboard battery packs. State-of-the-art modelling allows an extremely strong housing with a low weight – only 561g fully-loaded with Milspec PVS-14 optics. This device is one of the strongest, most full-featured, and lightest in its class.

Key Features:

• Rugged Material – 7075 Aluminum alloy with Mil-standard Type III class II hard anodize, H series Cerakote
• Individual pod auto-off when swiveled
• Push-button on/off, IR illuminator and manual gain brightness control
• Tool-less Inter-Pupillary Distance adjustment
• Exceeds MIL-STD-810G and NATO 1.5m drop test standards
• Dust-proof and water-proof to 1.5m
• Built-in dovetail mount
• LIFETIME NO QUESTIONS ASKED WARRANTY on the housing
• The articulating design allows users to use one eye or both eyes enabling the simultaneous use of a thermal optic or other non-passive aiming systems. This also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.

Custom Night Visions offers the Manticore-R with the following tube options:

• L3Harris 20UA Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec
• L3Harris 20UA Supergain Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec
• Elbit White Phosphor
• Photonis White Phosphor (no manual gain functionality for photonis tubes at this time)

SuperGain Filmless White Phosphor image intensifier tubes increase the Luminance Gain (Gain) specification for image intensifier tubes from the standard 40,000-80,000 fL/fc to between 100,000-120,000 fL/fc. This greatly increases the image intensifier’s ability to amplify and collect light, resulting in a noticeably brighter image with increased low light performance and extending operational envelope and ability to see into dark areas.

We offer three choices of Optics:

1. Standard Mil Spec Optics
2. Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) 3.0 Ultralight
3. Photonis Defense Boomslang 50 Degree FOV

Been trying to find an action wrench that will fit an origin action? Seems like everywhere is out of stock. Anyone know a retailer that either has one from zermatt or another that is compatible that is in stock? Google didn’t help me on this one.

I recently made a post in the MPT about a guy who posts video shorts from YouTube that depict both the IDF and the Israeli Border Patrol etc. out on patrol in Jerusalem. You can see them on patrol armed/slung with AR and AK type rifles, etc. Here's a sample (there are more on his YouTube Channel):

Login to view embedded media
If you look at the sample, you see a lot of uniformed female IDF and Border patrol soldiers. All of them have either "free flowing" or long braided pony tails. If I'm not mistaken, it is a "requirement" in the US Military (certainly the Marine Corps) and most if not all US LEAs that such long hair be tied up in a bun. This, for safety reasons. In live "hand-to-hand" combat scenarios, having a long pony tail gives one's opponent something to grab on to, to get an advantage in that combat. With the hair in a bun, it's a bit harder to do that. Not impossible, but harder. Likewise, for LEOs in a "class A" uniform, the "tie" is always a clip on. In case that gets pulled in combat, it will just fly off and not give the combatant any advantage.

Am I correct in re: the requirement for US Military/LE to "bun up" long hair like that? If so, then I'm curious as to how the IDF and Israeli Border patrol get away without doing the same. I can't imagine they don't train for hand-to-hand combat. What gives?

Thoughts?

There are few creatures as beautiful or as deadly as the cobra.






Naturally, men of our stock are attracted to such critters and for millennia have asked themselves "if only I could harness that beauty & lethality"...and our ancestors have forever thus tried to tame the beast only to find out generations later that the cobra cannot be tamed and once more-we found out that they're quite prolific and reproduce far faster than anticipated.

Did you know a single cobra can lay between 10-30 eggs? I didn't before going down this noble endeavor and before I knew what was happening- I was left with a snake pit as deadly as they are beautiful...








I sought to my elders, I looked towards our ancestors on how I could possibly reign in this den of cobras and wield their strengths while understanding their potential for harm and also appreciating their beauty and suddenly a solution was presented from of all places but the jungles of Vietnam...

I needed a bonafide snake-eater to watch over the rapidly growing snake pit... I searched high & low and found myself a true champion to watch over my flock...







Pictured above is my snake pit- a CCO, Kobra Carry & Kobra Gov't along with my latest addition to the Ed Brown Collection, a Gov't Special Forces model.

How do the older Leupold Vari-X III scopes from the 90's compare to what's made today? I have a Vari-X III in 3.5-10 and a 6.5-20 with Duplex reticles that aren't getting used much and thinking about an upgrade. Not sure how desireable these are today.
Thanks.
