Hey! Bear Pit! Do a trick!

You pricks are boring me to pieces lately.

Someone go rent a Lambo and dangle a sammich in front of some starving coloreds and post us pictures.

Bench press buckets of concrete hung on the limbs of your bow.

We need a community gathering at the whipping post.

You old hats are losing your touch. (The ones the little fella hasn’t ban hammered yet to pave the way for all these AWESOME new dolts, window lickers, askholes, novelists, and scammers.)

SOLD AXMC .308 and .300WM bolts and firing pins bushed by LRI

Sold 2/26

Have 2x AXMC bolt bodies and firing pins that have been bushed and turned to 1.6mm / .062" small firing pins by LRI.

One 308 and one 300WM, both bushed, as well as 2x turned down firing pins. 300WM bolt has about 300 rounds on it and 308 bolt has about 800 rounds on it. Never any pierced primers or other issues, they worked perfect and LRI did a great job. Headspace only changed about 0.001" after the bushing job so prefits still work.

Selling because I decided to spend the big bucks on the factory 1.6mm small firing pin bolts, only to find out it's far easier to get a replacement large 2mm AXMC firing pin than a small 1.6mm factory AI firing pin-- Mile High, Euro, and Sporting Services stock the AXMC 2mm large firing pins but don't have a part number to order the factory AI 1.6mm small firing pins by themselves, so rather than being able to order a $100 1.6mm firing pin for your current bolt shroud you have to order a $560 1.6mm firing pin and shroud assembly or a $900 complete 308 sfp bolt. Totally ridiculous, and I'm dealing with that right now... neither MHSA nor Euro could order me a factory 1.6mm AXMC firing pin by itself for the factory SFP bolts, and Sporting Services is still working on it with AI UK.

For as good as their rifles are it always sucks getting parts from AI.

Asking $400 for 1 bolt and 1 firing pin or $750 shipped and insured for both bolts and both firing pins. Would prefer to sell together.

Payment via discreet paypal F&F, Zelle, USPS MO, or Check (will ship when payment clears.) Thanks!

Pics of Manners Compact Stock?

I'm looking for pictures of the adjustable cheek piece on the MCS-CS.
Already placed an order for the stock but can't decide if I want the additional cheek riser.
Specifically if it can be removed from the stock and still be used normally (albeit lower cheek weld) without it?
Are there 2 holes or 2 studs pertruding out, how does the height change, are there added thumb screws....
I've searched some on here in the post exchange and gun porn photos but haven't found a good close up of the butt stock area I'm looking for.

Thanks

Here is the Best Explanation I’ve Heard for the Crash at Reagan Airport From An Experienced Blackhawk Pilot and Crew Chief.



By Wayne Allyn Root

My longtime friend is a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army who served in the roles of both Blackhawk helicopter pilot, and Blackhawk Crew Chief as well. No one knows this helicopter better than my friend. Let’s call him Colonel Joe.

We’ve all seen the reports about the mistakes made in this tragic crash. We know the chopper was flying too high. We know the Control Tower was short of air controllers- and one controller was doing the job of two. It appears the Blackhawk was off course as well.

And we all suspect DEI could have been at fault- whether this involved the pilots, flight commanders on the ground, or the Air Controllers.

But my friend Colonel Joe is the expert. Here is Colonel Joe’s “Executive Summary.” These are his words- coming from a lifelong experienced Blackhawk pilot and Crew Chief.

In his opinion, the biggest issue is the flight was missing a fourth crew member for a night flight- a second Crew Chief.


Colonel Joe’s Executive Summary:

*The single-greatest error in this accident was the decision to fly without a second Crew Chief on the left-hand side of the Blackhawk, who could have provided an extra set of eyes to “look out-and-up” to see the approaching American Airlines Passenger plane.

*Night Vision Goggle (NVG) flights result in a sort-of “tunnel vision” for all who wear the NVGs and normal policy in many Army flight units is to force a full crew of 2 pilots and 2 crew chiefs for all NVG flights, so that you always have “eyes out” to both sides of the aircraft, when flying in those conditions. While not mandatory, it is the proper safety call, especially when flying in the vicinity of a busy, major airport such as Reagan Airport (DCA). No matter how competent the pilots and Crew Chiefs may be, this flight needed a second Crew Chief on the left side of the chopper.

*The front-left pilot, even if not wearing Night Vision Goggles, would still have limited visibility out the left door, and if that pilot is busy with radio calls, or referencing the map/GPS, that pilot could get consumed by work inside the cockpit, instead of looking out and around.

*Flight Unit Leadership failed to recognize the need for a second Crew Chief in the Mission Planning and Risk Assessment Process. This is where either incompetence, or DEI (or both), may have come into play. This was certainly poor leadership.

*Known mistakes by the Blackhawk Flight Crew point to a lack of experience and/or competence. We’ve heard in the media that both pilots were “experienced.” This is just not true. Someone is “blowing smoke” to the media, to President Trump, and to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to “cover their ass.” The collective level of experience of the pilots was not impressive. Their level of experience is like comparing a rookie in the NFL to a second-year player. The pilot had the experience of a second-year player, while the co-pilot was a rookie. This was NOT an experienced crew to be flying at night, near a major airport, without a second crew chief.

*Radio calls were not responded to by the Blackhawk crew, and they flew at 350 Feet above ground level (AGL), whereas reports say they were supposed to fly at 200 Feet AGL. These two mistakes alone show that the crew were not as experienced or professional as reported to President Trump, Defense Secretary Hegseth, or the media.

*The Instructor Pilot may have been too inexperienced for this “Annual Evaluation” flight, as mistakes were clearly made during the course of the flight (that are assumed to have been made by the junior pilot being evaluated). Why didn’t the Instructor Pilot notice they were flying too high and off course? That points to his lack of experience. If there had been a second Crew Chief, he could have noticed these mistakes and warned the pilots.

*The Flight Unit Commanders must share the blame, and they’re still alive! There is a 12th Aviation Battalion commander of that B Company, and I don’t know who that is, but this individual was the first leader in the chain of events for the Mission Plan and Risk Assessment to get signed off and approved. This B Company commander should be asked why they did not enforce a second Crew Chief to be on that flight.

*Accident sequences for these types of accidents begin in “Mission Planning,” when first selecting the time you will fly, where you will fly for the Annual Evaluation, and what crew members will be on the flight. Any of the Leaders in that unit’s Chain of Command could have demanded that this flight have two Crew Chiefs aboard the aircraft, due to NVG flying conditions, plus the busy airspace of Reagan airport.

*An experienced, thoughtful leader knows when to “raise the standard” and force the mission to have that second Crew Chief aboard the aircraft. This was clearly one of those moments, and both the B Company Commander and the 12th Aviation Battalion Commander failed to see through this risk problem and impose their own “Risk Reduction” to include a second Crew Chief to manage the left-hand side of the Blackhawk.

*In my opinion, even with all these mistakes that were made, a Crew Chief on the left side of the Blackhawk would still have saved them in that last 20 seconds when that American Airlines flight was approaching on the left-hand side. A Crew Chief in that seat would have warned the pilots to turn and descend immediately.

This accident was completely avoidable. Thank you to my friend Colonel Joe for this thoughtful analysis.

Bullet Diameter vs Velocity

If 2 bullets have the same weight but different diameters, does one have a higher velocity over the other? For example: 6ARC vs 6.5 Grendel or 22CM vs 6CM or 6CM vs 6.5CM. I think I read somewhere that the larger diameter bullet would have a higher velocity assuming all other variables were equal (barrel length, charge weight, etc.). Can someone help explain this?

Savage 111 rifle, I just mesured the action the female thread is .006 off to the left. Also I can't understand why barrels are centered on a thread. A

A barrel should have a precision male round, the receiver a precision female round. And enough thread to pull the barrel into the action. Instead I have a 26 inch bull barrel treaded losely in the action. With a small barrel nut holding a heavy 26 inch free floating barrel. I have a real question about this?

SOLD Browning Auto5 “humpback” Magnum 12 $650

RenderedImage.jpeg

RenderedImage 2.jpeg

IMG_5547.jpeg

For Sale: Browning Auto5 “humpback” Magnum 12
Condition: Used

Browning Auto 5 Magnum Twelve, 12-gauge shotgun with 31.5”, full choke barrel, blued receiver, original wood stock. Some minor scratches on the wood and barrel.

The Browning A5 uses a long-recoil action system. In this system, after firing, both the barrel and bolt recoil together. When they move back, the spent shell is ejected, and then the bolt returns to its forward position, chambering a new shell. This mechanism gives the Auto-5 its distinctive "humpback" design, which is a result of the receiver not needing to be as large as in other semi-auto shotguns.

Notable Details:
  • Speed feed is the two-piece lifter arrangement. Found on A-5's built after the early to mid-50's. The lever is a magazine cutoff, so you can unload the single shell in the chamber without the next one getting fed into the action.
  • Serial Number: 75V 37XXX, indicates it was made in 1975, the barrel is marked “Made in Belgium” but the serial number indicates that it could have been made in Japan.
  • Can chamber both 3” and 2-3/4” shells
  • Ideal field gun for waterfowl and turkey hunting
  • Not meant for shooting steel shot
  • Hold 5 rounds

Things to watch out for in your new gun…

After reading of a gent purchasing a firearm with no rifling, I thought I’d offer the following observations.
1. I recently purchased an aftermarket barrel that had very obvious flaws in the rifling, along with scratches on the exterior. This was still factory wrapped from Green Mountain.
2. I purchased 2 Thompson Center Classics when they were first released. One had a burr during deep hole boring, a nice spiral cut from one end to the other. They rifled the bore over this which ended up with lands that had cuts through them deeper than the grooves!
The other example blew steel out of the extractor groove (cut too thin), but the unsupported cases never ruptured. They next range trip accuracy failed, and on examination I found the front sight mounting screw hole was drilled too deep, the steel failed, blowing up into this recess.
3. At the public range I was “the rimfire guy” and received several Savage/Lakefield bolt actions purchased by the club to degrease and sight in for a youth program. Every single one had the same issue- the front sight which dovetailed into the barrel from the side was cut too deep and actually squished the rifling inwards, accuracy was non-existent.
4. When Ruger first released the 77/22 series, I just had to have one. My first had the receiver recess for the barrel tenon cast/drilled at a severe angle. This was so bad, they cut the face of the receiver at an angle so there wouldn’t be a gap showing the tenon. Problem was, not only was it impossible to sight in a 1” scope due to insufficient windage, but the barrel rode up the left side of the stock inletting.
Thinking this had to be a one-off mistake, I went to a fully stocked Ruger dealer in another state. There on the shelf was a whole row of vertically standing 77/22s of various models. I had the clerk hand me several examples and showed a friend, asking did he see anything wrong. Colorful language ensued as when you saw it you couldn’t not see it on every example on the rack.
5. I’ve already charted the issue I found with my Springfield 2020 (muzzle bulged the length of the thread cover), I have noted this on 2 aftermarket 10/22 barrels, so apparently threading is not just about alignment.
6. I purchased an IntraTec Tec-22 NIB, cleaned and took to the range. During the first magazine the gun ceased to fire. I found that the bolt and firing pin were both so soft they had completely deformed and couldn’t dent the case. Ordered replacement parts and the magazine feed lips wore to non-function on the 3rd loading.
7. Purchased a Kimber of Oregon 82 Super America, receiver was polished so out of round and different front to rear, you couldn’t mount a scope the rings were so misaligned.
Took a chance on a 82 Blue Mountain Classic. While cycling the first mag, I realized they cut the bolt guide groove too long, which allowed the lugs to clear the receiver and you could easily accidentally drop the bolt handle causing cosmetic damage. Took one final chance on a Special Edition Varmint fluted Stainless (KOA, Oregon addy), this was a flawless 4 shot repeater, but the bore was very oversized its entire length. I’ve since read this was a common issue.
8. I received a ‘95 Ruger 10/22 stainless laminate as a Christmas gift, receiver was cracked at the recoil pin. Never fired.
I should also point out, if you slug every example of factory taper 10/22 barrel, an enormous percentage have reverse taper bores, the tightest part is at the chamber lead, after that the slug just rattles down the bore.
9. 2 different examples of AMT Ruger 10/22 clones (Small Game Hunter, and SGH II) with very obvious rifling chatter (still have one of the barrels).

I’ll stop here for now, but I could go on and on. Study your prospective purchases carefully!
