Firearms Insurance

Decided to inventory the gun safes and document all of my guns and scopes. Put a replacement value on it and the number surprised me. I guess when you get tired of one and don’t move them on you accumulate more than you would think.

Our homeowners insurance will only let us put a rider up to $10000 without and inventory including serial numbers.

What are others doing for your collections. I am avoiding talking value but let’s guess just bumping against 6 figures for all the pistols, rifles, AR’s, shotguns, muzzleloaders and scopes. It’s a working collection, not a collectors collection.

PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

So while I originally was ready to move with a Tikka, (thanks again to all who offered advice) I stumbled across this deal yesterday. I planned on dropping it into a KRG and finding a good scope. It's going to be a little over my budget but it will slowly come together. I read about the Osprey barrel on their website but does anyone know how big a difference there is between that and the OEM barrel? Specs on the tube are 24" and MTU profile. Also run a can on it. As always, I appreciate any insight from fellow goon squad members....😆

SOLD Leupold Mark 4 spotter TMR

I have a very lightly used 12-40x60 Leupold Mark 4 spotter with the TMR retical.
It will come with Box, paperwork, cover and most importantly the sticker!
It has never been out of the cover.

I thought I would use this more. I ROed 2 matches and took it to a couple 1 day matches.
I bought it new less than a year ago.

Payment is paypal(you pay fees),Venmo or Cashapp.
$1350 TYD
I am more than willing to talk on phone or FaceTime with you.

Gay wedding

I just need to vent a little , I have a niece that's marrying a butch woman , got the invitation back in the summer , the weddings next week , I never responded to the rsvp , mostly because I don't condone same sex marriage, so my brother calls (he's the grandfather) and asked if I'm going ,I let him know my stance on the matter and I won't be attending , I'm a Christian and I know I shouldn't judge others lest I be judged , but I'm not going to celebrate something I consider a sin , and yes I'm a sinner too , but the difference is I'm ashamed of my sins I don't celebrate them , still can't believe we have a pride month, my mom who's 86 said she's not attending either so at least I won't be the only family member not going , I'm I being a prude for not caving in to this shit , it will probably ruin my relationship with her father who I am sorta a second father to , but I guess that's the price I have to pay for standing up for my beliefs, what say the hide .

Homemade knife

The knife fight thread got me to thinking about this knife:

IMG_0328.jpeg


I’m not sure where my grandpa (born in 1901) got it, or if he made it, but it came to me when he passed in 1989. I’ve never used it, nor have I seen it used, but it’s still shaving sharp. No clue what kind of metal but it attracts a magnet.

Nine inches overall, with a 5 in blade.

IMG_0329.jpeg


The handle seems to be wrapped in some sort of plastic wrap. I thought it was plastic-wrapped wire but it’s not heavy enough for wire, and it doesn’t attract a magnet.

The sheath has a metal liner in what appears to be some sort of rubber-lined hose material.

No idea how old it is. The phrase “Try it you’ll like it” was popularized in 1971 as part of an Alka-Seltzer ad campaign but he could have written it later. Looks pretty wicked.

Barrel for ELR with an AIAXMC

Hi all,

I'll start (re) introducing myself, - as far as shooting goes - i started shooting competitively in 1980, and have been touching most disciplines that use rifled barrels. Norwegian, and won a couple of F-Class nationals, shot both PRS WCs, going to Cameo.
My main interest was always long range, and the longer the better.
I bought my first 338LM in 2009 and we had a sort of start to an ELR thing here in Norway, shot a few matches (nothing past 2500m), but it died, and PRS came along - but now we see matches coming up, and it looks fun, as it used to.

Since i bought an AIAXMC mostly for the heck of it a few years back (and used it, w. the 260Rem barrel in Bitche - i have an AI and a 338LM barrel - the typical 27" Palma profile AI 338 barrel. Shot it quite a bit at 1250, and and a little at 1600m.
I have pondered custom stuff, modern ELR cartridges and even 416Barrett, shot a couple, and yada... To expensive, too much fuss - and my old Barnard could hold its own out quite far.
The AI however is a bit too tactical, barrel is "thin", at 27" i get not enough speed, accuracy is fair w. Berger 300 (its everything short of "very good") it groups within a moa at 1000m or at least almost... But SD/ES issues, besides its light, etc - in short i do not find it optimal for ELR work, and it absolutely does not shoot brass/copper bullets.

So my gunsmith has these two blanks. Lilja 9" twist. 30 and 32" long. I plan to not use the magazine for this, but seat bullets just short of the donout area, and then also get some more case volume. I have thougt of an 338LM improved, but i doubt it - for ease of everything.
Main concern and reason for this post is twofold.

- What profile? What length? 32" MTU? Anyone done a stepped barrel, thinner in front of the handguard? Flutes? (yes for looks ;) ) Speed, stiffness. balance? Someone must know where is the optimum?
- Barrel and bullets - will the Lilja shoot solids? Tell me about solids? Warners, Peregrines? We do have a supply issue her in Norway, and Bergers are not always to be had - today i shoot 285gr ELDMs. They are not bad, but i want solids, and we also face a lead ban. And Peregrines we have ready access to

Anyone has a thought on anything concerning an AIAX in 338LM for ELR? Everything is appreciated. And solids.
