    I Spy New Baby Theos 2-10x

    I'll be the red-headed step child... I personally just hate the aesthetics of a 30mm tube. If it cost me 2-3 oz to have 34mm I'll gladly take it. Especially if I get more elevation travel with it. I can save 3 oz somewhere else. Probably not the smartest opinion, and I accept that. I run an...

    27.2oz and 4100 for a ZCO 2-10x is better?

    Another Original Idea from Hornady

    I think there was an old old philosophizer that said "dont hate the player, hate the game" Either patent something and be willing to pay to protect it...or don't. A patent is like a restraining order. It's literally useless outside of court.

    Plate Carrier for Rucking

    Holy shit, I woke up, got a notification so I decided to start reading. Thats like an internet time machine. That was amazing. Someone please use ChatGPT to find that guy so we can see how his life turned out. Probably walks with a gangsta lean from all the medals pinned to his left side...

    6.5 PRC in a shortie?

    Not sure what you consider "Short"...Mine is 18, going into season 5 with it...Couldn't be happier. All my hunting rifles are 18 max...so I consider short to be more like an SBR. Just chopped a 22 creed to 13" and a 6 creed to 15"

    I Spy New Baby Theos 2-10x

    I love the 6-36 Theos I have. I've got a Grey and a Black. Cool to see them tossing FDE into the mix. Truth be told, I'll probably grab another 6-36 if they offer the tan on that one too. Either way, without much for specs, this looks like it'll be a bad ass MPVO. Hard to tell, but it looks...

    Plate Carrier for Rucking

    Each of my plates is 7 lbs 11.3 oz. X 4 puts it a sliver over 30bs of steel. Plus the vest. But you CAN run 3 plates in front and 3 in back if you wanna go bananas. That would be +46 lbs plus the vest

    Plate Carrier for Rucking

    I'd have to check what it weighs with 4 plates. There's room for at least 3 on each side. or could always use thicker mild steel. I'll check when I get home

    Plate Carrier for Rucking

    I just bought a cheap amazon vest and had four 1/4" AR500 plates made for it. Functions as "defacto" armor in a pinch, but I just wear it as a weight training vest.

    Franklin Armory Produces NFA Exempt Short-Barrel Firearm

    AND A FAR SUPERIOR DELIVERY to the chode in the FA video.

    Franklin Armory Produces NFA Exempt Short-Barrel Firearm

    Exactly. Going forward...all a company would need to do is DESIGN AND DEVELOP their firearm to fire both kinds. That makes it exempt. A re-barrel doesn't achieve this because the rifle was not designed and developed that way from the start. Not exempt.

    Suppressors Lipsey's Rugged Obsidian45 or Lipsey's Gemtech Lunar-45 Suppressor

    I've had my Obsidian45 for 5-6 years now I think. Used it on 9mm, 10mm, 45 and 300 blk...and it's been good. I had a baffle strike from shooting it loose on 9mm...(still feel like pistol cans need taper locks) but it wasn't an issue with the can per-say. I've got the 1/2x28 and .578x28 piston...

    Scope for a subsonic 300 BLK

    I ran a 1-8.5 Bushnell SMRS on mine. Worked just fine and dandy. If I were going to do it over, I'd probably use a Vudu 1-10x with a SR5...but that's just me. The OG SMRS just had a little heavy of a center dot...so I actually zeroed the 1 mil mark at 100 yds on the BTR2 reticle.

    Cerakote inside Impact Action? Yay or Nay

    For me, I just want to complete the look of my KMW SBR build. All the metal is going to be coated eventually. Pic rails are likely gonna be desert sand or desert verde. barreled action is gonna be a flavor of coyote. My match rifles can be black and barrels silver, but this one....this one...
