    375 Raptor vs 308 Winchester

    The 375 raptor is intriguing in the AR10 platform, at least for me. I already have the lords caliber in 375 h&h in a m70, it’s my most carried rifle up here in AK. I might have to build one someday soon to see if the juice is worth the squeeze. Similar performance in the lighter bullet weights...

    35 Whelen, A great round being forgotten.

    You guys have me thinking. I’m currently stuck with an older kimber 8400 Montana in ‘06, can’t even sell the thing, nobody wants to buy it without taking an absolute bath on it. Now I’m thinking of rebarreling it to 35 Whelen. I’ve had many conversations with an old bear guide way down on the...

    Boeing down in India

    Never been in a 78 flight deck, and have no clue how Air India address’s augmented crew ops. Did that flight have other crew members on the flight deck? I speculate because a company I flew 76’s for, required all operating crew to be in the flight deck for TO and LD, I sat a few flights as...

    Boeing down in India

    I never worried about it on the 320/321’s. MGL in a 900ER or max9… I’d love to hear the CVR’s on the way there. Mine included.

    Boeing down in India

    Throwing my 2c in, though it’s worth less than that. I doubt it’s an incorrect performance data thing. For a couple reasons; 1. Though it looked like a late, maybe forced rotation, that was a flying aircraft until it wasn’t. B. My airline has had issues with bad TO data, leading to tail strikes...

    Buying a plane after retirement

    Depends on the bird/boat. The difference is you technically need a license to work on airplanes. You absolutely need a license and a higher qualification to sign off certain required inspections, yearly. Those mechanics are doing it for a living, the good ones are not cheap and take the time to...

    Buying a plane after retirement

    Lots of good advice in here. A couple things I’ll add is; if serious, go get a Student pilot certificate first. It is also your 3rd class medical. I’ve seen a few folks walk into the flight school I used to instruct at 20 years ago, get shot down for a medical because of some bullshit the FAA...

    Let's talk about youth packages and training

    XLR chassis are your answer. Shortest LOP on the market, the AR grip helps with their tiny hand placement. The problem with short or reduced LOP stocks is, it doesn’t answer the kids small hands and their placement on the grip to trigger interface. My oldest started on the typical cz 452 scout...

    Is this crown ok?

    After looking at the tenon threads, they look rough to me also. I’m curious what your thoughts are Frank?

    The Trap is Sprung

    That’s not quite what happened how we got the zero. It was shot down by AA fire during an aerial attack on the PBY base in Dutch Harbor, AK. It crashed landed on the nearby island of Akutan, flipping over and killing the pilot. Passing Navy boats noticed it, reported to higher and the recovery...
