My grandaughter wanted red magazines to go with her other red accessories on her 10/22. I'll admit that I instigated a little as I saw this originally posted on another forum and was intrigued. The process seemed pretty simple so I thought I'd try it.

We purchased some Rit DyeMore synthetic liquid dye in Racing Red from Walmart, disassembled 4 of the Ruger clear magazines, cleaned the parts first with dishwashing soap and a toothbrush, then with alcohol. Using a stainless pot on the stove I mixed about a third of the bottle with a quart of water (enough to cover the mag parts completely). I brought the water/dye mix to a boil, inserted the magazine parts and left them at a simmer for about 8 minutes while stirring constantly. Results are below. The other grandkids then wanted their own so we've tried different colors with mixed results. Red and blue worked great but purple and green came out a little dark. I'll try the purple and green again but next time won't leave in the dye so long.

Buying a lotto ticket for $1 every time the jackpot got too large to ignore was fun, but I never win. I think they changed the price to $2 and said the jackpots will be even bigger. Idk.

Well here come the $5 mega million tickets.

Ok….

I’m just going to say read this…


And now that you have read it… Game on!!!

I hope the world carpet bombs this dumb twat with nanners!!!!

If she thinks she had a phobia before!

Why are non-translating turrets desirable?

I see the desire discussed here often, and I don’t get it.

Any good recommendations on non impact bullet puller for 25cal? PMA makes a nice one but not available in that size. I have the Frankford impact one that I usual stuff a piece of foam down in it to protect the ELDs but wanted to see if there was something better.

Thanks

Anyone else getting the cloudflare screen of death when trying to access Silencerco? Its been a couple days like this.

It appears XLR has a 20+ week wait. I was wondering if any vendors have XLR elements in stock regularly, or any suggestions on where to look? Just the chassis. I have a butt stock and grip already picked out.


Thanks fellas

Selling a RRS TVC - 33. Looking to get 1,000 OBO - No Trades.

This is the MK2 tripod with vented clevis for easy close. Additionally it has the new twist locks that are in good condition. I have cleaned the tripod several times and taken good care of it.

Tripod is in good condition, few blemishes from tripod rear support but all carbon is in great condition with no damage. I found the 33 to be a great middle gorund and it is rigid and strong.

Syria is coming apart at the seams…

Guess Turkey and AQ decided that they better move now while the potato is in office and our military is too busy transitioning into bisexual teletubbies and scrubbing their DEI files to do anything about it…

Wonder what happens if the AQ folks get the chem weapons depots that Assad has amassed?

Oh well… think Assad will end up in a ditch shot by a Mets fan… like old Muammar?

And barely a word of it in the news as they focus on how liberal women are now cutting their balls off to keep Trump from turning them into Stepford wives…. I think that’s how that works…

Long story short I have had my rifle re-barreled, I have had a variety of issues with extraction (and ejection) since.
I had thought I had sorted the issue (bought a new extractor and had chamber re-cut) but shot a match in the rain this weekend and half way through started gets fired cases stuck in the chamber again.

I had some cleaning supplies in my car so managed to fix it but am thinking I need to start carrying something with me.
What are guys carrying around as far as cleaning gear goes? I had thought maybe a bore mop, brush and 4 pieces 22lr rod would be required but then thought perhaps a boresnake would do the trick.

Or any recommendations or tips for people with tight chambers to avoid this happening in the first place?

Curious what guys are using for shooting gloves in the winter. Shooting a steel plate match in December. Match is in PA and im expecting sub 30 degree temps.
(Also, wasnt sure if this was best in the competition shooting group, or the armory)

I vote Elon

New to ELR so I took my 6.5CM out to 1000 today and even tho it was windy I was able to get on target consistently once I figured out the wind hold. There is something about hearing steel at that distance. Now it’s on to taking it out farther.

Hey Everyone. I just ordered a Solus Obsidian action on discount from Midway and Im waiting on an order from NSS for a Criterion small shank Savage 110 barrel nut pre-fit chambered in 308 Win (I also ordered a squared savage barrel nut/wrench from NSS along with headspace gauges).

Note I dont have a barrel vice and criterion doesn’t recommend using one when installing a barrel nut pre-fit. They recommend the NSS action vice. I normally would go that route but when I was ordering the barrel James at NSS had mentioned his standard NSS action wrench won’t fit the solus action due to integrated pic rail so I need to use the internal solace action wrench to secure the action when mounting the barrel/torquing the nut. This makes sense, but the question I’m left with is how do I actually incorporate the internal action wrench into the install process?

I ask b/c according to an Aero rep's post on reddit, if installing a barrel with a barrel nut, simply use the Solus Vice jaws, if installing a shouldered prefit, use the internal action wrench.




When searching online I found this savage prefit barrel install tutorial video by Criterion which is great but they are able to use the NSS action wrench since their install is for a savage action not a solus action with integrated pic rail. The steps they follow are different compared to a Solus action that can't use the NSS action wrench.

Here are the 2 options I'm considering (macro level steps):

1. (Aero rep's method) Clamp the action in a vice (using the Solus Vice jaws), set headspace, torque the barrel nut to spec, check headspace again with go/no-go
2. Or do I incorporate the internal action wrench so that the action doesn’t get deformed when torqueing the barrel nut even though the action is secured in the vice jaw inserts? For example:
   1. Clamp action in vice with Solus Vice jaws
   2. Set headspace, then hand tighten barrel nut, check headspace again with go/no-go
   3. Unclamp action from vice, clamp the squared end of the solace action wrench into vice then slide action onto the other side of wrench fully engaging with the lugs
   4. Torque the barrel nut to spec, check headspace again with go/no-go

Or am I way off and you suggest completely different steps to follow?

This is my first bolt action build so I'm used to following the steps for installing AR-15 barrels (that use M4 barrel extensions, barrel nuts, etc.) that definitely need the upper receiver internally secured (with something like the Midwest Industries Upper Receiver Rod clamped into a vice then slide upper receiver over the rod) before torqueing the barrel nut. In option 2 above I was essentially thinking of using the solace action wrench (after setting the headspace) very similar to how I use the Midwest Industries upper receiver rod when installing AR barrels.

Any help/feedback would be much appreciated, thanks!

400 rounds down the pipe. Been using it mostly for the deer woods and a few range visits. It liked 120 Barnes TTSX and easily lined up 1/2-3/4” groups at 100 when I checked zero recently.

asking $2475 and will include Fix wrench to remove nut/barrel and arca plate.

Would also consider selling just chassis for $2200.

I have a Bighorn Origin short action that I want to put in a Peak 44 carbon stock that takes M5 bottom metal. I’m interested in using the Hawkins Hunter DBM, but ran across this comment below on a website. My SN is in the 2400 range. I emailed the company that had it for sale and they had no idea.

Do any of you know if Hawkins Hunter short action DBM bottom metal only fits Origins in a SN range above 5350? And if so, why?
