    SP10 suppressor

    I agree on the low back pressure cans. I don't own an AR10, so I can't provide any specific recommendations. If it was me, I would be pretty tempted to explore CATs product line. I also know I would likely be pretty content with my .30 cal Biscuit on an AR10.

    Optimum barrel time: great theory or bunk?

    If people went and tested a bunch of different loads on day 'A' and then went and performed the exact same test(s) on days 'B', 'C', 'D', etc., I would guarantee the conclusions from each day as to what's the "best" load would differ.

    Is Russia done pretending?

    There's no point in engaging with such infantile and cartoonishly simple talking points. These same idiotic talking points are all over Reddit. These people aren't interested in objective facts and nuance, they exist to spread cartoonishly simple propaganda, for one reason or another. I swear...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Grew up mountain biking, but haven't done much since I was in my teens. Recently went with a friend in Sedona and it reignited the spark. During COVID my wife decided to get into mountain biking, she bought a base level 2020 Scott Spark 970 and upgraded the bike with carbon wheelsets that are...

    If You’re Going To Own Pit Bulls

    Lol I actually haven't seen that. Don't really want to either. I've heard of dog attacks being thwarted with such tactics though, but personally I would prefer to use .556 or 9mm to stop such attacks. Pitbulls are pretty nuts when they go in their kill mode.

    New to PRS, MPA Barreled Action, Custom, or something else?

    There's so many different ways you could go on this, and there aren't really a lot of wrong answers these days. A lot of it comes down to personal preference, and we can't decide for you what your preferences are. But if you stick with any of the commonly recommended actions...

    Is Russia done pretending?

    Funny how the media will on one hand write an entire article on a "pro-Russian" fighter wearing Nazi symbols to create a narrative, but on the other hand completely whitewash the world's largest neo-Nazi organization (Azov) to ignore another.

    Your "Inventory..." How did it get that way?

    I acquired my collection when I was single and making good money in O&G. However, I was more about quality than quantity. My collection is not big by any definition. I haven't bought a gun in years. I have enough to cover my bases and all the shooting I do (or don't) do. I'm happy I did so...

    Maggie’s Credentialed but Illiterate

    We've been getting "reprogrammed" for a while now, with TV and phone apps designed to hijack our dopamine receptors to give us quick hits, to compete for our screen time. I was thinking about this not too long ago, how it's changed all of us, myself included - and I hate it.

    Maggie’s Credentialed but Illiterate

    I'm astounded to the frequency as to which people outsource their thinking to LLMs. I think this is going to be a huge problem going into the future.

    Is Russia done pretending?

    The one "cost" that Zelensky has to worry about is manpower, as he is quickly running out of that resource and no other country is currently willing to fill that gap (and rightfully so). I don't see how this war is sustainable. Ukraine can't win a war of attrition against Russia. Further...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    That's the other school of thought. School 1 is to have as big of threads as possible to prevent any "belling" of the muzzle. Some will go as large as 3/4" threads to mitigate this. School 2 is to have smaller threads to allow for a larger shoulder for threaded devices. TacOps uses 9/16"...
