    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    OP, if you came here to learn, the first step is to shut your f@#&n mouth. You'll learn a lot more with your ears and your mind open. On the other hand, if you came here to teach, as seems to be the case, I think HMFIC has got that covered, thanks. Bye.

    Staked castle nut or not ?

    Carbines built specifically for duty / hard use usually get a Magpul UBR. If not, proper torque and staking for insurance. The other 90% don't get staked, just properly torqued. I've never had one come loose, and I've been using this platform for over 40 years. If it happens, I have the...

    Scope adjustment strategy when switching loads

    I use a scope with a tree reticle zeroed for my normal load. When I change loads, I dial the zero offset on the turrets and hold elevation and wind on the grid. You could use a ballistic calculator that allows for zero offset as a variable and enter it for every load you use. Whenever you...

    Benchmade AFO II

    I’m aware. It wasn’t a serious post. The wording of your post just struck me as funny. I don’t own any Benchmades because I do care about politics, as it applies to 2A issues. I mostly prefer fixed blades, but carry a few Kershaw folders for light work that serve just fine.

    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    This is a similar concept to the Nomad. The serial number is over the blast chamber. The can is tubeless, with the baffles stacked and welded on the front of the blast chamber. This allows a complete replacement of the entire baffle stack with a quick turnaround, since the original blast...

    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    The entire gun was new when this happened. I am not using an adjustable gas block on this rifle, as it has never indicated the need for it. The bullet holes do not indicate a problem with stabilization. I can only guess that the end cap strike was caused by an out of spec round. I did not...

    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    Twist is 1/7”. Alignment was checked before and after the strike, both visually, and with an alignment rod. The brake had not loosened. So I was left with only the ammo to blame. At that point, I had only shot Hornady Black 220gr AMAX subs, and Hornady 190gr SubX subsonic through that gun...

    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    I have a 300 SPS that I use with an AXMC. I have barrels in 300WM, .308 WIN, 6.5 CM, and 6XC. I use Surefire .30 cal. muzzle brakes on all of them. There is no POI shift when removing and remounting the can on any of my barrels. I have had no issues of any kind with this suppressor. It also...

    Comm Gearsupply

    I set up a T&E with this company for some comm gear for my department. Customer service was very knowledgeable and helpful. Gear shipped fast and we ended up buying it. Very positive experience.

    700 yd Soda Can w/ Vudoo

    Fun Fact: a 50 yard fudd group is a 50 yard group fired for the purpose of illustrating said fudd’s skill level to fellow fudds. It consists of no more than five rounds, and is fired at 25 yards. All day long. 🙃

    Need help getting in touch with Dead Air Suppressors

    They switched to Sound Moderation Technologies, LLC. At least that’s who made the Sierra 5 I have in jail.

    Which 22lR suppressor should I get?

    If you haven’t been shooting subsonic 22LR, try some while you wait for your stamp to come in. Depending on barrel length, you might be surprised how quiet your .22 is with subs. I have a bolt action .22 with a 24” barrel that is very quiet with subs unsuppressed. You’re going to want subs to...
