STACCATO XC VS HAYES CUSTOM COBRA

I can get a Staccato XC now and put an aluminum Grip on it as well as a Atlas flat short trigger (small hands), or wait and spend a tad more and get a HAYES CUSTOM COBRA which I have heard nothing but great things about. So for those that have had the AWESOME Fortune to handle both, thoughts? And for those that haven't but have a XC, have you done the Aluminum Grip mod and how did it shoot afterwards?
Thanks to all those who read and respond in advance.

SPR/DMR matches: What are you running?

I visited St. Augustine to watch a SPR/DMR comp this past weekend.
I saw a lot of high end kit. KAC, Larue, Geissele,.. S&B, Nightforce, Razors,... Lots of cans.
There were a handful of really talented shooters behind some of those rigs too.

I might have felt under-gunned if I competed that day with my "DMR" setup.
My DMR-ish upper is a mutt. Spikes CHF barrel, Colt BCG, BCM HG, Stiener 1-4 in ADM mount, Atlus QD bipods, etc...

Durable and good parts, but it only produces 1.5 minute 5 shot groups with match ammo.
I'm thinking about putting together a CLE Bartlein upper with a NF 2.5-10 or 1-8 before I jump into this style of comp now that I know what's expected of the shooters.

For those of you that compete with or work with dedicated SPR/DMR rifles, what are you running?

SOLD SPF PSA Jakl 556

PSA JAKL 13.7 5.56 FDE rifle with pin and welded keymo flash hider, upgraded charging handle, ambi- safety, full length handguard, and one mag.

I have run 200 flawless rounds through it. These rifles are fun to shoot and will scratch the SCAR-L itch without wiping out your bank account.

I'm selling because this was part of a trade deal and I am on a bullpup kick right now.

The rifle shows signs of use(mounting marks paint scratches, etc), but it isn't abused.

$SPF

I'm willing to take some trades +/- cash for the right deal. NO GLOCKS, P320S, OR GARAGE BUILDS PLEASE! Some trade interest for me are:
Bullpups, VHS-2/Hellion, WLVRN, and some semi auto pistols, Garmin's new chrono, tactical gear etc.



LIGHT, RAIL SECTION, SLING MOUNT, AND OPTIC AND MOUNT NOT INCLUDED.

Hello from Wisconsin

Hey all, glad to be here. Longtime lurker/stealer of technical info. Former member of another forum until it took a hard left turn.

About me, I love shooting and TRY to get out to the range at least once every other week, but with 2 kids in sports it gets to be a difficult task. I take least one firearms related class a year to try and keep my skills sharp.

Other than that, I’m just a boring dude from Wisconsin that is a Christian, father to two girls, and a husband.

I have a lightly used Schmidt Bender PM II 5-20x50 LP LT MTC/CT DT H59 FFP 1cm CCW Black (673-911-692-F1-E8) with a Spuhr mount for sale. It's in almost-new condition, as seen in the pictures below.

I am asking for $2000.00 OBO - Zelle, CashApp, or PayPal F&F. Face-to-face meetings in the Ft Benning, GA area also work. This will need to ship UPS 2nd day insured, which I'll cover.

making 17 Remington brass from 204 Ruger

When I picked up a Shilen ar15 barrel that was chambered in a 17 Remington, I was disappointed to find there was no brass that was reasonably priced.

Paying $1.10 per case was not what I wanted to do… if his Lapua or Atlas brass or Peterson brass in 17rem then I would pay.. but not for Nosler brass… that is essentially 204 Ruger necked down…

I started by converting 556 or 223 range brass into 17 Remington. It worked .. and as I perfected, it worked quite well and I could if I quickly and anealed between running the brass through the 17 Remington die could stretch the neck out almost to the regular length… but thinning the neck too much? I don’t think it was something that was good to do… the flipside I was turning the neck when they were short…

worrying about developing carbon.. and the fact that 204 Ruger brass actually became available once again and quite reasonable…

I had picked up a 204 Ruger shilen barrel for the ar15… ran out for a bit because I got tired of messing around with brass for the 17 Remington…

I decided on a whim to throw the 204 Ruger brass into the 17 Remington die to see what happens…

New brass didn’t work well not sure if it was too soft down the body, but after the brass was fired, it seemed to work better and didn’t crush… and didn’t develop the dimples around the neck or creases, depending on how bad it was this made some of them unusable because it extended too far up into the neck..

I had initially annealed the new cases prior to loading/firing… quite possibly the newer cases were too hard and crushed, and the other ones that were annealed, although fired, were still soft and allowed the brass to move inward without buckling.

Finally figured it out I used fired 204 Ruger brass once I got the neck down to 17 Remington and before pushing the shoulder back, I anealed the angled part of the case and the neck… I have a induction a dealer self-made so it can be real quick..

So when I do the final, push the shove the shoulder back no more dimples I’m ecstatic!!

The cases look great

I was going do a progression picture from when I first tried it to what they’re doing now, but I did not do it… behind the nice cases.. are the first few ones of the bad ones

After I get more done, I’ll set up my trim and trim them all at once… as right now they’re a bit too long and hit the lands

Unfortunately, my borescope does not go down a 17 caliber. You have to buy that really expensive one forgot the name of it.

SOLD L3 PVS-24 CNVD GP

Gents,
I need to make room for a PVS-27 that Jay is building up for me. I bought this one off of Tacswap about 8 months back and it is a gem. I get just over 3/4 MOA shift low, and for me it is dead nuts to 300 yards on my MK12H. I suck at Gas gun shooting so I suspect that it may be better than that. Tube looks great zero issues with it. Comes with scope shade and a case. To your door for $4200. I would be willing to take a partial trade for a Sphur QDP-4006.
PM any questions. Please do not post in this thread that you are taking it until we have communicated via PM. Just trying to keep the thieves at bay.
Thanks for looking,
ST42
